The Wiz
Chapter 22: What if...

From that day on, Violetta and Lily became a regular practice with Barcus. For their first day of practice, the two were only able to make small cracks in the walls that Barcus made. Their strength was almost completely absorbed by the grass they were burning, even though Camoline had allowed the plants to absorb her energy as well. As a result, either Violetta or Lily immediately fever for 2 days. As a result, they could not immediately train the next day. The circumstances of the two of them were of course immediately laughed at by Barcus. Do not ask what kind of words the old man said, because Camoline to stare cynically at the teacher who considered the self-styled.

And today, was the 15th day after their first day of training. Right on this very day, the people chosen by the top officials of the Palace will come to the Palace to undergo special training under the supervision of those important people.

For this year, there were only 3 people who managed to attract the attention of the top officials of the Palace. Yeah, just three. Much less than in previous years. Because normally, the higher-ups would take students from this Academy no less than 10 people. Now, however, they quibbled if there was nothing else capable of impressing them aside from the three disciples.

Oh, of course you are. All of the disciples who signed up back then only ended up being pitiful jokes for those higher-ups. Many of the students were residents of health clinics and could not leave their wards until a few days later.

And of course, among the students who had the opportunity to become selected students was Rashi. Women Camoline didn't think would take such exams. Yes, he could have guessed or sniffed information from the girl. However, he did not do it after Rashi's rejection at that time. After all, this was none of his business even though Rashi could be said to be betraying his clan. In his first life, Camoline was not close to the wind clan either. Although Camoline was also honestly unable to remember whether the clan had allied with Asdus or not.

Currently, unlike usual, Camoline was in the library all by herself. No Violetta or Lily had become more frequent with him since the training routine they had been doing, no Silver had often appeared nearby just to upset him, or even Londer. Ah, to that young man, it felt so strange not to be a Camoline chick. But this is a blessing in itself for Camoline. He did not need to feel the hassle of being followed by the young man.

Right now, the state of the Academy is completely deserted. This is natural, because all the students and teachers are undergoing some sort of ceremony? I don't know, Camoline doesn't really remember. And himself, choosing to run away from the event by remaining silent in the library. A book was wide open in front of him. Shows its contents about the history of Topaz Academy. But that's not the center of his attention right now.

Something else, related to his strength.

Now, the two colors on the stone had faded. He had seen back the condition of the stone with the help of Barcus of course. Blue as the sky and blue as the ocean. Two powers that he now has. Pretty good. But it's very nice. Only, Barcus always warned himself not to arbitrarily show the strength of his new element. Because it was obvious that it would raise the suspicion of others.

Camoline exhaled slowly. So far, he's only been walking on the spot. His chance to be very close to the enemy, he had just passed by. And this is the consequence. Camoline was confused as to what to do. Although the grudge was still lingering in his heart, but the confusion of having to do anything also haunted his mind. In her first life, Camoline was only a student who was obedient to her teacher. He practiced as directed and had no chance to know the outside world well. It's like being ostracized, if you think about it now.

"Soundless boy, you're here apparently."

Camoline's head immediately turned towards Barcus who had just approached her. Even without even looking, Camoline knew that Barcus was the one who spoke. Because only that man called himself a fool in a happy tone. Crazy teacher, Inner Camoline.

Impossible right, he is still the mate of that man? He died once.

Barcus sat in front of Camoline. He glanced at the book in front of Camoline for a moment before putting on a strange face. Then, his gaze lifted onto the face of Camoline who was currently staring out the window. The woman's face was complicated, making Barcus very curious about the contents of the student's head in particular.

"The way is boring. Lucky I'm not the official teacher here, so there's no need to sit there and make my ass thin" Barcus said in a dramatic tone of voice. Camoline didn't blink her eyes in the slightest. But he grunted slowly. It was quite amused to hear the phrase from the man who was appointed to be that teacher.

"By the way, where's your mom? I feel weird not seeing you guys together like this."

Camoline took a deep breath. He turned towards Barcus with his lazy face. Ah, the usual expression Barcus received. And Barcus was happy about this. Because Camoline's calm expression was terrible. That girl, it was like she was possessed by the spirit of the guard of this building.

"Londer isn't my mate" Camoline said angrily. But Camoline's reply was met with a snort of disbelief from Barcus. He looked at Camoline with a soft look.

"really? You guys are too attached. So I wouldn't be able to believe it if you two weren't a pair of mate" Barcus said. Again, Camoline let out a long sigh. Barcus' words were right. He and Londer are too close, even their behavior is no longer at the limit of a pair of 'friends'. This is already very much more and it would make sense if both are indeed a pair of mate. And to be honest, Camoline was very confused by the reason that Londer did not seem to want to let go of her.

"What if the mate in your life is still alive?"

Barcus was silent. There was no longer the look full of witty and mocking faces she was on for Camoline. Barcus's facial features became complicated for a while, before his head told him a shocking thing.

"Impossible," he murmured. Yeah, of course you are. It is impossible for a person to live more than 500 years.

That's pretty much impossible.
