“Raine.” Raeyan called as he walked towards Raine who was standing on the balcony, looking at the lake forest afar.
“Yes?” Raine turned and looked at him.
“What do you think of the two incarnations of guardians?” Raeyan asked. He just returned today and so he hasn’t asked Raine yet about his thoughts with Vermeil and Arlen being his guardians.
“Those two, huh…” Raine muttered. “If I say that I don’t want them to be the incarnations of guardians, would you find me new ones to replace them?” he asked.
“Raine…” Raeyan heaved a sigh.
“I know. They can’t be replaced.” Raine sadly smiled. “Like I was, I can&rsqu
The next day.“There really are new monsters!” Arlen exclaimed when they saw new creatures appearing in the lake forest.“Yes. And their number is getting bigger and bigger…” Vermeil spoke. “As well as their sizes.” He grimaced.Yris laughed as they all entered the barrier that is surrounding the lake forest. This time, Zedrick and Raima came. Their faces are still filled with disbelief as they stare at the monsters. Earlier, after the afternoon classes ended, Arlen called Raima while Vermeil called Zedrick. Then, Arlen used his power of time on them two to test whether Raima and Zedrick are both guardians or not.Even though Arlen’s use of the power of time is somewhat faulty since the figures of the people around them created split images, but looking at Raima and Zedrick being shocked and violently reacting to what happened, Arlen’s effort is worth it since they found another two guardians! Finally, new guardians, and also two of them, were added! And in just a short time since the
Margin Academy, Friday.“Raima. You are distracted.” Seph said as he looked at Raima who was in a daze.Raima blinked and looked at the beautiful garden of the junior high school building outside the window. One would feel calm and peaceful when one looks at it. Raima, who was very shocked by what he found out these days, now felt his heart calm down as he looked at the vibrant flowers.“Yes… I am. I’m sorry.” Raima apologized.“What is bothering you?” Seph asked.Raima looked at Seph, then hesitated. “You… I… don’t know if you will believe me.” He muttered.Seph’s brow raised. “Why don’t you tell me, then?” he asked him.Raima stared at him. “You… will you believe me if I say that I am some sort of a guardian?” he asked.Seph fell silent. Then, he slowly nodded. “I do.” He answered.Raima’s eyes widened in surprise. “You do?!” he exclaimed. “You really… believe me?!” he asked.Seph nodded. “Yes. But… What does this guardian do?” he asked.“Well… I am not too clear about that. They sa
Bardeck residence, dawn.“So…” Raeyan muttered as he looked at the group of students before him. “Raima, you brought Seph because… he wants to confirm something with us?” he said as he looked at Raima and Seph.“Y – yes…” Raima nodded before he lowered his head timidly after Arlen looked at him. “S – sorry…!” he said.Arlen heaved a sigh and didn’t say anything.“It was I who asked him to bring me here, so please don’t blame Raima.” Seph spoke as he pulled Raima to hide behind him. “Mr. Bardeck… seniors, good evening.” He greeted them.Raeyan, Yris, Raine, and Vermeil nodded at Seph while Arlen remained silent.“And Zedrick… you brought Luoie because he… wanted to tell us something?” Raeyan said as he turned to look at Zedrick and Luoie.“Yes.” Zedrick nodded and glanced at Luoie who pushed up his eyeglasses while looking very proper.Luoie is a prime example of a top student. Many admired him, but many also disdain him because he outshone the intelligent and rich students, who can’t
Monday, flag raising ceremony.The next day, Arlen’s expression is sour as he looks at his younger brother and Seph who are standing close together. But, even if he hates it, it is a fact that it was Seph who convinced Raima to reconcile with him (Arlen). So, Arlen has to swallow his pride and let Raima stay beside Seph. After all, Raima is still reluctant to return to him his elder brother, which makes Arlen’s expression even more sour.“Arlen.” Yris called as he looked at Arlen with a warning gaze.Arlen pursed his lips. “Raima is my younger brother.” He said. He obviously feels very wronged.Yris stared at him. “Then have you also thought about him as your brother when you lied to him?” he asked.Arlen looked at him. “Yris…” he muttered. “You were on my side before!” he said as he looked at Yris with his eyes wide in disbelief.Yris nodded in affirmation. “I was.” He answered. “But that doesn’t mean that I condone you lying.” He said.“What did you say?!” Arlen gaped at Yris in sho
“Raeyan.” Yris called as he looked at Raeyan after the other incarnations of the guardians, including Arlen, left Raeyan’s office, leaving only them two inside.Arlen wanted to take Yris with him, but recalling that they still have a problem between them, and that Yris looked like he wanted to say something to Raeyan alone, he (Arlen) left with a heavy heart. This didn’t help because he saw Raima left with Seph, which is reasonable considering that the two youths are classmates. But Arlen still felt reluctant on handing Raima in Seph’s hands, especially when he guessed that Seph likes Raima.“What is it?” Raeyan asked as he prepared to go to the lake forest to call back Raine and Vermeil, who still haven’t come out of the area.“Earlier… was I right to think that you have already found the incarnation of Vira?” Yris asked Raeyan.Raeyan paused, then turned to look at him. “Yes.” He honestly answered and didn’t bother hiding it. Not only because Yris is his confidant and is a family to
“Since we are already talking about the guardian of space who is a special guardian…” Yris spoke. “Then, there is also another special guardian.” He said. “Fortunately, his situation is better compared to the guardian of space.” He heaved a sigh.Raeyan nodded in affirmation. “The guardian of soul… Hores.” He muttered as he and Yris stopped in front of the lake forest, just before its barrier.“Yes… his power is also very tricky.” Yris sighed. After all, it involves the soul.“Even though the guardian of the soul is less special than the guardian of space whose power could destroy the world, the guardian of the soul is as important as the guardian of space since the guardian of the soul could destroy the human race, as well as the other races living in the world.” Raeyan spoke. “Thus, it would require Vira more power to transfer the guardians’ powers to their incarnations. Not to mention that these powers are so special, but there are also other guardians as well whose powers needed t
“What?! An army?!” Yris exclaimed after he and Raeyan met Raine and Vermeil in the lake forest.“Yes.” Vermeil nodded in affirmation. His expression looked solemn.“Are you sure you were not mistaken for what you saw?” Raeyan asked. After all, this matter is very important since they will be outnumbered if what Vermeil saw is true.Also… the Elhasa Kingdom was frozen. So how could there be an army?“Brother.” Raine called. “Whether this is true or not, but we still have to be fully prepared no matter what.” He spoke. “Also… despite the Elhasa Kingdom being frozen, weren't there monsters that came out of the portal from it?” he looked at Raeyan who had fallen silent.Yris loudly gasped when he thought of something. “Does this mean… that not everything… or everyone in Elhasa Kingdom is dead?!” he exclaimed.Raine looked at him. “Or else? Where would our enemies come from?” he asked. “If they were also frozen by the ice princess that same night on the eve of her birthday, then we won’t h
“What?! Did something happen?!” Yris immediately asked, looking worried. He knows that Raeyan wouldn’t suddenly ask him about this so randomly. Something must have happened, and it was what Raeyan asked him just now if he heard something. “Just now, I heard someone is calling me.” Raeyan spoke, confirming Yris’s guess. “But, the contact was instantly broken.” He told Yris. Yris’s brows are knitted. “Calling someone through their blood…” he muttered. “A kinsman?” he guessed. Raeyan looked at him. “The Bardecks are all dead aside from Raine and I…” he said. “And now, you as well.” He said. Yris’s heart felt warm. He has no blood of Bardecks but he is still their family. “Well, aside from a kinsman… it could be a spellcaster… a witch?” he was startled by his thought. “Could it be… the guardian of the Gate is calling you?!” he exclaimed as he looked at Raeyan whose expression was also solemn. “It seems that they can’t hold on anymore.” Raeyan muttered. “Go with me. Take me to the dir
