The Wiz
Chapter 8: The Chromos Clan

For now, there are only 7 clans that have survived since hundreds of years ago. Other clans, mostly disappeared over time due to things that could not be ascertained clearly. There was only word that the other clans had disappeared from the caste pressure of the 7 great clans. One of the great clans itself was Chromos. That clan that was identical to the fire element became one of the ruling clans of the world. Because in this place, whoever is the most powerful, will become the ruler.

The Chromos and 6 other clans, united to get rid of the other clans that refused to submit to them in battle 300 years ago. The great battle that occurred once again after the two clans that were the buffer of the balance of the world fought to annihilate one of the clans.

Being the sole successor of the Chromos clan leader was no easy feat. Everyone knows about this. However, only a handful of people were willing to find out how a successor to this clan could be called worthy of being a leader later on. The various kinds of extremely terrible exams should be able to pass very well.

Londer let out a long breath. He looked up at the star-studded sky this time. Although usually it is like this, but only tonight, he can enjoy the night sky Topaz calmly. At the very least, he could manage the time to arrive at the dining room without fear of being one second late.

"Hey, prince. What are you daydreaming about?"

Londer turned towards Deus, then shook his head. He and Deus had a similar destiny. Both became successors to clan leaders, but different. If Deus is sufficiently liberated by the Airden clan, then he is very restrained by the rule-full Chromos Clan.

"Hey, I heard you found your companion, huh? He, the one who managed to rise in rank in that fast time, right?"

Forehead Londer pucker. It was digesting the sentence that came out of Deus' mouth. Then, he snorted loudly after knowing the meaning of Deus' words just now. He knew who this silver-haired man meant.

"Don't just talk. I don't even know him at all" said Londer calmly. Deus just nodded his head as if understanding, even though the look on his face looked annoying in Londer's eyes. It is certain, if Deus still wants to tempt the successor of the Chromos clan.

"really? But, I caught a different thing from your interaction earlier. You guys have a special relationship secretly, don't you?"

This time, Londer chose to ignore him. He moved away from Deus and left the man out of the room. Seeing this, Deus chuckled softly instead of clucking annoyed. With quick steps, he walked after Londer who was certain not to wait for him.

At least, that was what he had thought before seeing the same scene as before. The encounter between Londer and a jet-black haired girl that people were currently talking about a lot.

Not intending to approach Londer, Deus chose to pay attention to the interaction once again. The two people just stared at each other before the girl turned around and left Londer without a word.

Deus smiles.

Looking at the scene earlier, it was like the drama of a pair of lovers being hit by a sweet little quarrel.

After a few seconds of waiting, Deus stepped out to approach Londer.

"That's it. You just have to say that what I said was true" Deus said, embracing Londer's shoulder. Londer glanced at him for a while, before the two of them started to step towards the dining room.

"You know for yourself, there are no rules that allow people like us to choose our own partner—"

"The two only want, so that the purity of the Chromos clan is maintained."

Deus grunted softly. Such a phrase he had heard from a group of old men before. Luckily, his father defended himself. Yes, at least Deus has the highest vote than called the most votes. Still remembered in his head as the elders looked at his father in surprise. For something like this, Deus was very proud of his father.

"It should, it won't affect anything. I mean, by letting the younger generation of the clan choose their own partner, that's the best move, isn't it?"

"I don't understand what you mean. Instead, we should be quick not to get punishment from the teachers" said Londer. The man stepped even faster, leaving Deus who was looking at him amusedly. Still remembering the previous events.

"Ah, you just have to say if you can't wait to see that girl again, right? Moreover, now you're going to have a table with him."

Londer stopped his steps. As if I just remembered something. However, it was only for a moment, before he shook his head slowly and returned to walking which again left Deus. Every step he took would definitely attract the attention of many people. Every moment, including the present. As she was looking for an empty seat, she found some students looking at her with similar gazes. Admired and interested. The real thing is pretty shitty.

Although, Londer has to get used to it. Given that there's some strange news that doesn't come from who. The news said that if everyone in the Chromos clan, his clan had a very perfect appearance. Perhaps because of this news as well, his presence in the Topaz academy instantly attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Come, Prince of fire. My brother has prepared a place for both of us." Although Londer had to admit, only Deus was willing to approach him without any covert intentions—for now like that—, but the man was still annoying as usual. Perhaps, Deus and his sister were the two most annoying people Londer had ever met. Because those two people, as if deliberately making it back face to face with Camoline.

Indeed, this time Camoline would start eating at the same table as herself. Only, he never thought he would sit right across Camoline. Staring back at the only girl who showed a haughty look at him.

"It's like fate. You met your lover, Lo—aww. You're a rough girl, aren't you?" Camoline simply raised her eyebrows by putting an innocent look on Deus after pelting the man with a frozen wine.

"That's my way of getting acquainted, by the way," Camoline said. He began to eat the dishes that were served to him. Not caring about the surroundings, which Deus was looking at in annoyance.

"By the way, your appearance and aura are like white clan ancestors. But, it's broken right away with this rude attitude of yours."

Uhukkc..

Londer's still watching Camoline. What Deus said was true. From the very beginning he saw Camoline, he felt that another aura was encircling her body. A sacred aura that only the white clans possessed. The clan that was currently the natural ruler of the world.

"I'm not from any clan, if you want to know," Camoline stared intently at Deus who was about to interrupt her words, "just eat quickly. Before I make a little pool in your food" Camoline threatened. Deus said, followed by Silver sitting next to Camoline. As for Londer, the man further frowned.

"Not from any clan? Where does your power come from?"
