TWELVE RING SYSTEM
004 - A BLACK CAT NAMED LEO

Two years had passed, all the teachers had already returned to their respective places. Two of Rome's magic teachers returned to the city of the East as well as Kozar who returned to his place.

They felt there was nothing more to teach Rome, because Rome itself had mastered all things about swordsmanship and magic.

Roma are striking in both ways, to the point of making them dizzy. Kozar himself did not believe what he saw, children as young as Rome could master swordsmanship easily.

While the two magic teachers who came from the Eastern city were also confused, because they alone took many years to learn a lot of magic. One basic element of magic can take months. Rome was not.

“I did not expect that Rome could be that great,” said Estrilda shortly after Kozar bade to return to her place.

“It turns out that boy is indeed amazing, he inherited my magic power and your magic. Even when it was that small I had not mastered the basic magic of elements,” Gustaf said later.

“Then what should we do now? School is one year away, now he will definitely feel bored.”

Estrilda and Gustaf knew that Rome was a typical child who could not stand still one thing, he had to do something, because his body had to move and continue to do things that make him happy continuously.

“Let him alone decide what he wants, he knows his desires better. Rome is no longer a child like a few years ago.”

It is true what Gustaf said, because since his strenuous training Rome became a much more mature child than his current age. He knows what he has to do.

Some time passed after their conversation, it was true that Roma asked his parents to wake up a place for him to study witchcraft and advanced potions. He wanted to experiment with it.

Inevitably Gustaf and Estrilda agreed to it, they also built the place that Rome wanted to be behind the mansion. Roma said that there would definitely be quiet and happy.

After waking up, Rome was busy almost every time there, so it did not feel the time went so fast and he even turned ten years old.

That means that for a year also Rome studied in there, he had mastered a lot of witchcraft, learning spells until he found a way not to use magic intermediaries, such as sticks.

It might seem strange to most magicians, but Rome wanted something easy. Using magic or other intermediaries is difficult for users, because it must require special media.

He wanted to teach that to a lot of people. Although he was sure they must have been hesitant about what he was doing, since the magic intermediary was a natural thing there.

However, Rome already had to go to school, to become a supposed noble. With his departure for school he had to leave everything in his experimental room.

Including what he wanted while studying witchcraft.

That is why before his departure he had to study more, read books, learn the possibilities that will happen. Since he was only a baron child who had to attend the noble school, he was sure there would definitely be a gap going on.

Although the mother said that it would not happen, because the sons of the nobles were educated and would not do so.

***

One night before his departure for the noble school in the royal capital, Rome was sitting on the edge of his bed staring at the moon outside his bedroom window.

Rome tried to daydream, but her mind was still full of things related to magic. Even easily he took out fire magic from his palm then shaped a ball.

His left hand formed a ball of water. Rome combined the two, because of the different elements of both the occurrence of explosions.

Roma was surprised by that, he hoped that his parents or servants would not hear what happened to him earlier, because he accidentally did that.

After making things right, Roma was still there, until he was a little distracted when a black cat suddenly entered through the window and now sat on the table.

Rome noticed him as well as the cat who was looking at him with greenish-colored eyeballs.

He then got up from his seat and walked over to the cat. Rome loves cats.

“Stop petting me,” said a voice coming out of the cat.

Hearing him Roma was immediately surprised because he was not sure what happened.

“Normally do not have to be surprised so,” connect the black cat again. It turned out that it was true that the cat could speak even very fluently.

“You can talk?” ask Roma who are curious about it.

“Iya as you heard and saw, I can speak, because I am not an ordinary cat I am a magic cat,” said the cat.

“Magic cat?” roma asked again still confused and curious.

Then the cat claimed that he was named Leo one of the magic cats that have the ability of Leo's ring, so he could be like that time, although his speech still makes Rome confused.

The black cat named Leo, who could speak like a human, then casts out many ancient magic never seen by Rome. One of them is the magic of change of form, he is able to raise his body as big as a lion.

Rome was still surprised and could not believe what happened, but it was not a dream or a mere delusion that was true. He actually saw a magic cat.

Leo then returns to his original form, which still remains on the table.

“Didn't you feel like I was coming?” ask Leo then.

Rome shakes. “Taste how?”

Each owner of the 12 rings was bound to each other, they would be able to feel the arrival of the existing ring owner.

“What ring? I don't use rings, only bracelets given by my mother,” said Roma refuting Leo's remarks.

“Aren't you the ruler of the Libra ring, the ruler of justice and wisdom?”

“Hah? Try to speak clearly, I do not understand what the ruler of the Libra or Leo ring means, is it a symbol, title or designation?”

Leo quietly did not answer what was asked of Roma, then he thought the possibility that the person who owned Rome was a mistake, although Leo could feel great power from within the body of Rome, he said, even without the ring.

“Sleep, hope it's just a dream, but if it's true I'll see you back tomorrow.”

Rome, puzzled by what had happened, climbed back to her bed and closed her eyes, hoping it was an abstract and strange nightmare.

***

The next morning Rome woke up and did not remember what happened last night, because indeed she tried to forget him.

After clearing himself Rome went straight to the place to eat, because it might be his last day before leaving school for two years.

At the place of eating was still a few people, until shortly afterwards he had several other members of the Raffa family come including his parents.

“Get your things and clothes back to their original place, Rome, because you don't have to go to school today,” said the mother later.

“Why can it be?” roma is confused.

Then the mother said that for a while the admission of new students and students was detained for one to two months, because the school was in the construction stage. Later if the school is completed, then all students and students who are accepted will be called back.

Roma are happy not to play to hear the news, in the next one to two months he does not have to leave, he said, he could still linger in the mansion along with his family and could also take care of his experimental place on witchcraft.
