ZEPHYRS
War
After failing a battle drill against Mandrake, the seven children are taken to a place containing a stretch of desert and cliffs around it by Aoyanagi and Kotaro, a place where there are no inhabitants at all, no life was seen as the weather temperature in this area reached 75 degrees Celsius, resulting in a suffocating heat, Sandoria, located in the southern part of the city.
“What kind of place is this?”
“Don't say here we'll do the exercises?”
“Of course” replied Kotaro
“Oi oi you guys don't joke, it's hot like this, this alone already feels like it's going to melt”
“You all spoiled” Sataru said
“You again, your strong-ass attitude has never changed from before”
“You still have the energy to fight?” delila said in a lethargic tone
“Already, I also used to practice here, at first it feels impossible, later also used to it. I also used to feel almost dead here, but I remember you guys who were at home, I got excited and became what I am today.
“remember you??” us or diaaaa?” delila teases Kotaro who already knows that he likes Freyla.
“Hey hey what do you mean, we're here to be strong”
After hearing the story, the children were willing to participate in the exercise, considering they did not want events like yesterday to repeat, defeat against Mandrake. The training began, first of all Aoyanagi told them to concentrate fully on their imaginations, which became the source of his strength, even though only concentrating the children felt difficulty, remembering where they are now, and how they are, but before long, one by one the children have begun to master it.
“Wah fast also yes, they have started to be able to concentrate well, unlike you” Aoyanagi told Kotaro
“Oi what do you mean? I was just a normal kid” replied Kotaro
“Hahahaha”
“Hey see they're done”
After completing the first test, the second test continues to increase their speed, all children are challenged to run throughout the desert, to find out the results of the first exercise, namely concentration.
On the other hand, while the children were doing the exercises, there was chaos in the city, the Dragoon race also broke the agreement that had been made, where there should be no interracial fighting, and there was no race fighting, the troops coming from Vermillion Island, the island where the Dragoons lived, began to attack the Orc race in the city, it is not known what the reason for the attack was, but the command of the attack was directly from the throne of the supreme king of the Dragoon race Prometheus, the 17th descendant of the previous kings. The atmosphere in the city was getting heated up, the Orc race that did not receive its companions was attacked, started to deploy its troops to counterattack, battles happened, and so on, the citizens of the city consisting of other races can only run to save themselves and do not want to interfere because they do not want to fight further. But the fight did not last long enough, the defeat was accepted by the Orc race and all Orc residents in the city were pulled back to their island in the northeast of the city. Hearing the news, the supreme king of the Orc race, the Barglass, was angry, and suggested that the Dragoon race and the Orc race could not be friends anymore as before and considered all the Dragoon race evil.
A month had passed after the war, the situation in the city felt different, no longer seen the hospitality of the population, all races became cautious, keeping a distance from other races to avoid the battle, he said, along with that, the training that the seven children underwent was finally completed, all of them felt that their physiques were different from before, feeling a rapid increase after undergoing various kinds of hell training.
“How are your current conditions?” Aoyanagi asked everyone
“My body feels stronger”
“Yes like something is flowing in the body, like the power of a save”
“What's that? Stored power? Just your imagination”
“Hahahahahaha” the sound of laughter all teases Dantes
“If it's done, let's hurry home to inn”
They all rushed to go back to the city to rest, on the way they felt someone watching them, because they had undergone the exercise, their senses were trained, they could feel the aura coming from someone, but it was only a distance of 20 meters, while Kotaro and Aoyanagi who have power far above other children have a distance of twice that of the others, which is 50 meters.
“Aoyanagi?” kotaro whispered to his partner who was on his shoulder it”
“Iya I know, I've felt it since last”
Kotaro and Aoyanagi told the others to calm down, not be lured and beguiled by the enemy, the journey continued while being balanced with the supervision of the aura through their respective senses, the, but suddenly a very fast arrow shot towards the head of Kotaro, He who had known it from the beginning, just stood still and let the arrow point to him, he said, when the arrow approached Kotaro's head, an ice wall appeared that brushed off the arrow, the ice that Kotaro made by moving only one index finger and immediately shocked the person who shot the arrow, intending to run because his actions were known to the enemy, but Kotaro had guessed it and had quickly appeared before the shooter, he was shocked and fell.
“Ah turned out to be someone from the Elf race, there need what?” Kotaro asked the golden-yellow haired woman.
He told her everything and said he meant nothing to Kotaro and the others.
“Ah You lied, you wanted to kill us, right? Dantes spoke from behind
“Oi already what the hell are you? Acting like you're after”
“Already, you can leave now, do not mind the man” Kotaro told him.
“Why did you release it?”
“We are not here to fight Dantes, we just want to strengthen ourselves, let's continue the journey”.
The journey continued, upon arrival at the border of the city, they heard the screams of someone who asked for help from the southwest of the border, seen someone wearing a harness and his mask riding a dragon while strangling someone, it turned out that that person was the Elf race that had attacked him earlier.
“TOLOOOOOO…!!!! TOLOOOOONG!!
“Hey up there!” julianz shouted while pointing at them
“Let go of me, selankaaaaaaan!! Toloooong!” shouted the woman who was in the grasp of the mysterious man
Seeing the incident Kotaro unhesitatingly threw his Ice Javelin towards the young man in armor, feeling his pleasure was interrupted by Kotaro and his friends, the man let go.
“Huh interferes with people's pleasure just”
“Let go of him” Kotaro shouted at the man
“You want this guy? Please take if you can” and throw the child towards Kotaro while attacking towards them.
Kotaro fights the mysterious young man and the other children face his dragon, the dragon begins to attack by breathing out of his mouth, shocked to see the attack, and the dragon begins to attack, Aoyanagi immediately told them to avoid as far as possible.
“You all stay away!!”
“What's up? What's up?”
“It has been fast away from the dragon ituuuuu!!!!”
Instantly when the dragon's breath hit the trees and the surrounding land, all shattered like a crystal that broke into pieces. Astonished to see the incident, Aoyanagi also explained that the dragon was from the Dragoon race and was one of the strongest dragons that could turn anything into crystal fragments and the dragon was Celestial Dragon.
