Chương 28: #2 Looking in the principal's office
Raphael Tasvali, an ordinary human from the city of Tasvali in the Kingdom of Waterfall, his family is known for great talents among common mortals, endowed with innate abilities that improve with each generation, one of the descendants of this powerful family has already become one of the most powerful generals of Waterfall, another the best advisor, great warriors came from this family, which made their name grow to the point of naming the very city where they lived with their name.
It was said that the matriarch of the Tasvali was the one who brought great luck to the family when she helped a simple person on the street, who asked for food and had no place to spend the night, was a weak-looking person, but who in the end revealed himself a powerful Night Mage, and in thanks for her help, he gave her, her husband and son, a single amulet, an amulet that would bring her blessings and great luck, a single person in each generation could truly use and enjoy all this power, everyone only knew that this "spell" and forging amulet was real when a dome covered with stars encircled the outskirts of the city, almost reaching the borders of the Kingdoms of Nairot and Friegenia, it was so majestic and brilliant that it caught sight of many parts of the continent, and that's when they realized that there was a real Night Mage in the Nine Kingdoms.
They were so rare and so incredibly strong that there hadn't been one in thousands of years. And from this Mage, other four more emerged, named in relation to their emergence, all transformed into Night Mages by the First, and in the end, the emergence of the Sixth Night Mage, Thamy Waterfall, who not only became one without any helps as it was practically on the level of these old immortals, which explains why it is so adored and respected by those many peoples.
Raphael was definitely the best choice, in this generation of his family, he was chosen to keep the amulet, to use it and enjoy the small percentage of the First Night Mage's power that was stored inside the amulet.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
– Heh? What time is it now? – Harumi asked suddenly.
– Ah, probably noon… – Leila replied automatically, Harumi widened her eyes and said goodbye, she had promised to have lunch with Ikuto today, and it seems she almost missed her time.
Ikuto was waiting for her at the entrance to the cafeteria, and as soon as he saw her he smiled at her.
They were eating facing each other, they didn't speak, Harumi because her mind started to wander through their group's escape plan and Ikuto because he alternated between paying attention to his food or deciding to ask what ailed his girlfriend.
– Harumi? – He decided to ask, Harumi wandered from time to time, he was used to it, but instead of a silly expression, Harumi showed a little concern on her face.
Harumi stared at him a little lost – Hm?
– Are you okay? You look worried...
Harumi blinked, she almost told Ikuto everything at that very moment, but knowing she could screw it up she bit her lip and replied – I'm just thinking about how I'm one of the weakest in second-period, no matter how hard I try, I can't get out of that level, Leila is almost going to the next level, and I'm still at the beginning of my...
– Just the fact that you managed to reach it at just 17 years old already shows how powerful you are and how much more you will still be, just a little more training and focus and I'm sure you'll become stronger than me – Ikuto said while looking at her.
Harumi felt a little want to laugh, saying with a smile – You're already at level 13, almost reaching the level of a teacher or elite Mage, I'm six levels below you...
– You will get there! And don't worry, until that happens I'll protect you, I won't leave your side for anything… unless you don't want me anymore… – He started with an encouraging smile, like a coach encouraging his students, but ended with an expression of mock sadness.
Harumi laughed – Well, until I reach your level you will protect me! You mustn't leave my side unless I kick you out.
Ikuto nodded with a smile, the people around them seemed half-dead as they watched so much glow around them both, pulling away quickly, as if afraid that such a thing was contagious.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
In the boys' dormitory, Nevra and Raphael were trying to solve a little activity together, Matheu and Felipe showed up and went to work on it too.
A knock came from the door, Matheu got up to open it, a boy waved at them and jerked his chin at Raphael – Yo, Raphael, there are some girls out there wanting to talk to you.
Raphael frowned – I can't go now, please tell me I'm busy.
The boy rolled his eyes – I'm not going back to deliver an answer, I just came to let you know because they were a little persistent.
Raphael sighed and turned to face the boy, looking at him blankly – Do you know who they are?
The boy raised an eyebrow – That's why I came in person instead of just sending someone else to call you, it seems that they are the princesses of the four great kingdoms, Leila, Harumi, Celine and Asterin... and, Aysel and Elaxi are with them too.
Raphael frowned again, the others inside the room also had an expression of doubt, the boy at the door just shrugged his shoulders – I told you, now it's up to you – He left, the young people stared at each other for a while before Raphael get up and head out of the boys' dormitory.
As soon as he left, Raphael saw the small group of girls standing a little way off, it was already dark, but the area was well lit as it was the courtyard between the two dorms.
– What do you want? – He spoke as he approached. The girls looked at him intently, watching him carefully, Raphael felt for a moment that something really serious was going to happen… and he was in the middle of it.
– Gentle as always Raphael – Asterin said, they were from the same classroom, although they never talked much, the way Raphael spoke to others was already very well known by Asterin.
Raphael felt even more that something really serious was going to happen…
– Spit it out, I don't have all the night.
Asterin smiled and looked at Aysel, who was pretending a serious expression, she looked at Raphael – We need you to retrieve an item that they took from us, it's a hairpin, it's almost transparent and very exquisite, it also gives off a subtle shine through to be imbued with luminous magic.
…
Raphael stared at them for a while, trying to see any hint in their expressions that this was just a joke, really? Did they make him go over there to ask him to retrieve an item? When he realized that they were serious he was a little perplexed, this only showed in his interior, on the outside he still had no expression:
– No – He turned to leave.
– The hairpin is in the principal's office… – Aysel said while smiling mischievously.
Raphael stopped, this thing was in the Principal's office huh… what exactly were they up to? – Alright, I'll help you.
Hearing this they all sounded excited.
– But… – They heard Raphael continue.
Aysel looked at him – What do you want in return?
– Nothing much, I just want to know what they're up to and when we'll leave – Raphael spoke calmly, crossing his arms as he finished.
Elaxi and Aysel pursed their lips, Leila and Harumi were a little taken aback: 'How did he…?'
Asterin and Celine looked at each other, Celine nodded and held out her hand to Raphael as she smiled – If you're successful we'll leave tomorrow night.
Raphael stared at her for a few seconds before looking at the girl's hand, sighing he extended his, and then they shook hands in agreement – Great.
He let go of Celine's hand and looked at Aysel and Elaxi – Thamy knows that?
Both look away with guilty expressions, Raphael understood and nodded – I see... I'm leaving now, have a good night.
The young women watched him enter the dormitory again – Can we trust him? – Elaxi asked.
Asterin nodded with a confident expression – Of course, well... now we need to discuss how we're leaving tomorrow.
– I already have something in mind, let's go back and discuss – Aysel waved her hand as she walked back to the girls' dormitory.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
– What are you doing Thamy? – Drazhan asked as he put a bag on his back, Thamy had been looking out the window for a while.
– Nothing – Thamy replied as he closed the curtains, he turned to look at Drazhan and Hiro as they prepared to leave – Haven't you forgotten anything?
Hiro shook his head – We got everything we needed, as soon as we get to town we'll buy some food and… some more daggers.
– Good luck on your mission – Ikuto waved without looking at them, he was reading a book very seriously.
– Humph, if we had gone last year it would have been easier – Hiro muttered.
Drazhan put his arm over his shoulder smiling – This mission doesn't seem difficult, it's just a smuggling of jewels, let's do fine.
Hiro looked at him disinterested before taking Drazhan's arm off of himself.
– I'm sure you guys will do fine – Thamy said as he walked out with them, escorting them out of the dorms.
They walked calmly to the stables, the students passing them wished luck and said goodbye, as soon as they arrived they took two mounts, on top of their horse Drazhan looked at Thamy – Thamy, I didn't want to bother you with this but, could you keep an eye on Matheu until I get back? – He had a worried expression.
– I will, don't worry.
Drazhan sighed in relief, slapping a hand on his chest right away – You don't have to worry about us either, a shifter and a level 12 forest mage who's also a healer, together, we're definitely not going to get hurt.
Thamy smiled and Hiro rolled his eyes.
Urging his horse and, outside the stable, urged him to run.
– Hey! Wait for me! – Drazhan left too, Thamy watched them slowly disappearing. Heading back to the dorm and picking up a book, he started to read, Thamy and Ikuto both reading while back to back.
Ikuto looked at Thamy over his shoulder for a while, pursing his lips and going back to reading.
– What is it? – Thamy asked still looking at the book he was reading.
Ikuto sighed – They'll be fine, right?
Thamy nodded slightly – Yes, they will...
