บท 35: Chapter 33- Going to Order

It was another day in class when the teacher announced that there will be an upcoming dungeon exam in 7 days. Some of the students signed while others felt excited yet slightly nervous. Meanwhile, Kazuki was wondering if he could make it for the exams because he received a request from the paladins to check Order's construction. He couldn't decline it because it was his responsibility. They also asked Kazuki if he could bring a summoning crystal with him.

(Note: Summoning crystals are shards that contain magic from all elements that you could use to summon magic beasts or spirits to turn into your familiar. The creature that will come out depends on your own magic power and element.)

After class, he went to Griffin to ask for the materials needed to make the summoning crystal and he gave him a list.

Holy water x1

Serpentine scales x6

Silver wolf tooth x1

Poison ivy x3

Serpentine tooth x2

Rock from a golem x1

Kazuki looked at the list and realized he has all the ingredients except for poison ivy. Well, it's not a problem since poison ivy is very common to find especially in forests. So he immediately set out to find some poison ivy.

A few hours later, in the student dormitory, Coppelia was worried because Kazuki didn't return. He just told her that he has an errand and would return before nightfall but it's already night and he hasn't returned. Coppelia was worried that something might have happened to him.

It was already midnight when the door opened and Kazuki entered. He saw Coppelia asleep in his bed with tears in her eyes. He knew that she was worried because he didn't go back sooner. He was about to go back when he saw a merchant surrounded by a pack of night wolves. So he decided to help out. It took him hours before he could fully exterminate the entire pack so he hurriedly went home.

(Note: Night wolves are C-class monsters when alone but if they form a pack, they could cause A-class dangers.)

The next morning, Coppelia woke up and saw Kazuki lying on the couch. His face shows that he was in a deep sleep. She thought that maybe he was tired from his errand last night so she decided to let that matter go.

When Kazuki woke up, he saw Coppelia preparing the table for breakfast. He then remembered the tears in Coppelia's eyes and felt guilty.

"Coppelia I'm sorry about last night" he apologized while bowing his head.

"Please don't bow your head sir Kazuki. I know you have a lot to do last night" she said while raising his head.

Kazuki then remembered that he's going to visit Order today so he decided to ask Coppelia if she wanted to join.

"I do!" she shouted loudly and then turned red when she realized what she did. She was intrigued to see the ancient kingdom rose again, but little did she know it's king was beside her all this time.
