X-Loves: From Another World
Chapter 37: The Light Stair
While still on the way, Aldy had already informed them that the 21st National Magic Fighting Tournament in Jailolo had been stopped, right in the middle of the fight between Tubagus Sila and Alita Chaniago. The referee immediately stopped the match at the Emperor's order. The spectators and participants from outside the area were repatriated to the original areas, while the people in Jailolo were required to prepare everything
the possibility that happened. The imperial government declared a war-type emergency for the East Nusantara region. However, they did not explicitly mention that the threat came from Azazel and his four elders, only a few imperial officials and high-ranking officials of the magic academy knew about it.
This certainly raises concerns for Anna and Dwi. On the one hand they understood that the empire could not explain it directly related to the Azazel attack, moreover it was one of the secret information stored in the sacred library. But on the other hand they are worried about the news of birds that may be circulating in the community. And their worries seem to be coming true.
“What do they do?”
Just as they were about to land on the front page of the Jailolo National Magic Academy, they saw countless students who seemed to be protesting in front of their teachers. The disciples looked annoyed at something, and it seemed to be related to the vagueness of the information provided about this emergency situation. And sure enough their estimates.
“Don't be quiet sir, ma'am, we need clarity!”
“What exactly happened?”
“If you don't want to explain, we'll burn this academy”
The protest sentences were clearly heard from their mouths, The disciples seemed dissatisfied with the information they got. Meanwhile, the teachers just stayed there without doing anything.
“This cannot be left,” Aldy said.
The man landed his Layang right near that location. Some students and teachers looked towards them. Aldy, Anna, and Dwi finally came out of Layang and approached them.
“Everything is enough. Please calm down,” Aldy told the students.
“Quiet? How can we be calm if these teachers are not willing to give us clear information? How can we be calm if we do not know what is going on,” replied one of the students.
The other students supported the student's answer. Hearing this, Aldy sighed and walked over to an old woman who was standing in the middle of the teachers.
“Mother principal,”
“Yes, son?” he answered in a voice that was quite hoarse because of his age.
“I'm Aldy Heraldy, class president of Da. I just brought back Anna and Dwi from North Bacan. At first I also thought about keeping this a secret and waiting until everything was conducive again. But unfortunately... Ika The First Elder has descended to the surface of the planet, and invaded the North Bacan region,”
Hearing Aldy's explanation, the principal and the teachers were shocked. They did not expect that the monster had appeared this fast.
“What? Not likely. First Elder?”
But different from the students. They seemed confused by what the white-haired man said, about who Ika was and what really happened in North Bacan.
“What happened exactly?”
“Ika? First Elder? Who else is it?”
Meanwhile, Anna and Dwi just fell silent to see their reaction. Both of them knew what was going on and what was going to happen next.
Aldy sighed again and continued his words.
“Huff.. So, since the First Elder has appeared, the other Elder is certain to follow, and their leader Azazel will also return here. Therefore, allow me to convey all this information to all the students here,”
“What? You intend to unlock that secret?” the headmaster asked while surprised to hear that.
Aldy nagging. His decision to open up all the information about what was going on was unanimous.
“Mother don't worry. I have full authority over all the information in the sacred library. My position is equivalent to the custodians of the sacred library, so I have the authority to convey any confidential information stored in that place,” Aldy continued.
The headmaster nodded, a sign that he allowed Aldy to do so. He smiled and said in a loud voice to everyone there.
“Listen, my friends, academy colleagues. I'm Aldy Heraldy, Da class president and brother of the sacred library guard Jailolo, here I want to inform you about what's going on, and what's going to happen next. So please be well-heeded,”
The students who heard him speak looked surprised, some were astonished, and some were whispering to each other.
“What? Sacred Library? What other place is that?”
“He's kidding right?”
“By the way what the hell is he?”
It seemed that the disciples were still confused and could not believe what the white-haired man said. But he still continued his words.
“Right now, the entire Nusantara Empire, no, even this entire Tierra Hyuma we love is in danger. The big threat comes from Azazel, a super-powerful creature engineered by our technology in the past. Now, he and his four Elders have returned and will destabilize our world order by activating the Esa Pyramid, an ancient weapon that has been embedded for thousands of years in the depths of the Banda Sea,”
Aldy explained to everyone what was really going on. But still, many people did not believe what he said.
“What? a creature of technological engineering? That's right,”
“Si Aldy is crazy or how?”
“At a time like this he still had time to fantasize,”
The atmosphere started to get boisterous again, and Aldy continued his sentence.
Not finished Aldy said, a disciple immediately cut his words.
“Woy, don't joke. Technological engineering, world threat, what kind of delusion is”
Many of them thought it was just Aldy's imagination. But he insisted it was not a fantasy.
“I'm not fantasizing, it's a reality. I'm conveying this so we can prepare ourselves soon,”
One of the other disciples then asked him in a loud voice.
“Hey, you said you already know what's going to happen right? Now I want to know, where did you get that information from Aldy?”
“I got it from the sacred library, an ancient manuscript written by psychic thousands of years ago,”
The students laughed at hearing that. They underestimate his words.
“Hahaha... psychic? You're kidding me?”
“So you believe the prophecy just like that? How is it possible,”
“You're crazy huh? It was just a prophecy,”
“I told you not to listen to this delusion,”
Not accepting that the senior was being laughed at, Anna immediately walked to the middle and said in a loud voice.
“He's right. I myself was almost killed by one of the Elders. Luckily I was able to defeat him with Dwi,”
The girl's voice was heard until the people who were sitting in the back. But still, none of the disciples believed his words.
“Haha...The dreamer is two apparently,”.
“What did you teach that girl Aldy?”
“Wait, she was the girl who used technology during the tournament right? Does he want to dodge as well as during the race?”
The mood is getting boisterous. Most of the disciples laughed at their words, while some talked about them from behind. There's almost nothing they can do.
Unexpectedly, in the midst of the boisterous atmosphere, a man shouted very loudly.
“ENOUGH!!!”
Everyone was immediately speechless hearing his thunderous voice. He walked over from behind the crowd, approaching Aldy and the others in their midst. He was a large-bodied senior student who was well known to the other disciples. And now he was looking at Aldy with a very sharp and angry look.
“Boris Gabes?” said Anna.
Aldy looked at the man with a casual look.
“You?”
“Woi Aldy, it's not enough for you to be an elite pretender, and now you want to influence us all with your weird fairy tale. What do you really want huh?”
“There's nothing else I want now. I just want you guys to survive. So do you, Boris,” Aldy replied casually.
Boris laughed loudly at that.
“HAHAHAHA,, Welcome to say? Just be right. There will be no serious incident today, or tomorrow, or the next day. This is all your bullshit, so you better shut your mouth before I destroy it,”
“Please. Whatever you say won't change the facts. I'll keep saying this because I want you to be safe,”
Aldy insisted on his words. Hearing this, Boris became very angry with him.
“Alright, hero. Then you're not giving me another choice,”
BRAKK.Boris mounted the horses. He stomped his foot to the ground until it cracked. Some small pieces floated into the air. Boris gathered as much mana and prepared to issue a magic technique.
“Boris Gabes, you should not do that,” said a teacher.
Boris didn't heed it. The big-bodied man prepared to attack Aldy with his magic.
“Boruses. You better stop that. If you want to vent your frustration by beating me, do it after it's all over,” Aldy said to him, but still Boris did not heed it and instead yelled back at him.
“DIAM! THIS TIME I WON'T FORGIVE YOU. ALTHOUGH I MAY HAVE TO LOSE MY HANDS AND FEET HERE, I WILL FINISH YOU OFF NOW, ALDY HERALDY!!!”
His ground was jolted down. The mana he collected was incredible. Several nearby disciples were blown a few meters back. The man was already impatient to finish Aldy off at that place. Meanwhile, Aldy seemed to flinch in position, not moving a centimeter. He seemed ready to accept any attack launched by the big man.
Everything looks fucked up. The disciples did not have one voice. But in the midst of the chaos, suddenly the voice of a little girl from the sky sounded them.
“It's enough you guys, stop!”
