At the night after Oz fainted at the magic arena, a tense atmosphere is currently enveloping the palace.
“What are you doing here?” The queen asked the young man in front of her with a cold tone.
Even though the queen had her unique pressure as a ruler, the young man’s eyes didn’t give any sign of wavering, he calmly answered: “I’m learning,”
“Before you willingly give me the throne, I’ll try everything to enrich my knowledge, as a king, I’m obliged to learn and nurture myself to become a suitable king-” (Young King)
“King?” The queen cut the young king’s words.
“Had I ever said that I’ll give you the throne to you?” (Queen)
“You said-” (Young king)
“I only said that you need to learn to more, it’s just to make you wise and strong, I never said anything about giving you the throne,” The queen turns her back and said those cold words that combined with a cold tone.
“B-but mother…” The young king could only grit his teeth because of his helplessness, his eyes start to give the sign of wavering.
“No buts! Go back to hiding, I’ll at least permit you to enroll at the magic academy to make you forget the idea of being a king, but you’re not permitted to do anything conspicuous, now go!” The queen said without turning his back towards her only son.
“Y-yes, mother…” The young king could only follow his mother’s orders obediently and disappear to the shadows.
Sigh
The queen leaks a heavy sigh as she stares blankly to the dark sky.
“Chris, you must be strong. Now, you might feel that you’re mighty and invincible, you might think that the people you could trust everyone. You haven’t seen the real dark side of the world, every time and everywhere. There will always be someone that aims for your back. Rulers like us always meet with terrifying misfortunes,” (Queen)
“Just like how your grandfather, your father, and how myself, will meet my end because of this power. Find great comrades, the one that you could believe and trust your back to them, I believe, that you will be the one that will break the curse of our family…” (Queen)
***************************
“I lost,” Oz admitted his defeat with a wry smile.
“Hmph! Of course, you lost! He’s my rival! We’re one of the reasons why the other countries never dare to attack our kingdom!” (Old man Kyron)
“I thought that I’ll win that time…” Oz sighs.
Old man Kyron’s expression suddenly went serious.
“You lose just because you’re unlucky, you still not that familiar with mana. I believe that you’ll be able to defeat him if you’re more experienced on mana control, even though watching that old bone surprised is fun, the kingdom will be in danger if he lost. Well, you’ve made enough problem by defeating the supreme general of the kingdom though,” Old man Kyron said with a wry smile.
“A problem?” (Oz)
“Defeating a supreme general of a kingdom is a great achievement, but having a candidate of the magic academy student defeating the supreme general of the kingdom will sully the kingdom’s military, and might even make the other countries consider to attack our kingdom,” (Old man Kyron)
“That is why Oxius erase the spectators’ memories of your battles for the sake of the kingdom,” Old man Kyron said.
“I see… Wait, erase what?” Oz asked to confirm whether what he just heard is true.
“Erase their memories. For a magic god, doing that trick is simple. The queen asks him to erase all of the spectators’ memories,” (Old man Kyron)
“Including my friends’ memories?” (Oz)
“Nope, their memories are kept intact as your gift of victory, so you still have some witness of your great battle. The queen said that she might want to meet you one day,” (Old man Kyron)
“Really?” (Oz)
“Yea, by the way, Ren. When did you get that curse at your right arm?” Old man Kyron’s eyes suddenly went sharp.
“Um…” Seeing Oz’s hesitate to answer, old man Kyron leak out a soft sigh and said.
“Don’t hesitate to tell me, Oxius had already seen it too, I asked him to check it and even he, a magic god, couldn’t remove it. I know it’s a demonic curse, but it’s the first time I ever saw that kind of curse, tell me the truth, Ren,” Old man Kyron persuade Oz.
Seeing the persistent old man Kyron, Oz could only sigh helplessly and tell him everything.
“I see… No wonder Oxius couldn’t do anything to it, so it’s a demonic curse from the demon emperor… I need to tell this to Oxius later,” (Old man Kyron)
“Well, setting aside about the curse, I’ll contact you myself if the queen wants to meet you, learn hard and don’t disgrace my name here, I introduce you as my pupil to the magic academy headmaster after all,” (Old man Kyron)
“I see… So it’s really your doing, huh,” Oz sighs.
“Hahaha, don’t sully my name, okay? Using my name is the easiest way to enroll you to this magic academy after all,” (Old man Kyron)
“Fine, but-” (Oz)
Before Oz could continue his words, Oz and the old man Kyron senses some figures coming near.
“Is it okay for them to see you visit me?” Oz asked the old man.
“Hm… You can just introduce them to me later, I have another appointment anyway,” Old man Kyron said as he stands.
“Okay then, thanks for visiting, old man,” Thanked Oz.
“Of course I pay a visit to my pupil, right? Well, goodbye kid,” Old man Kyron bid farewell and go out of the clinic, and his presence disappears in a split of a second.
Not long after old man Kyron left, Albus, Alfred, Edreale, Sen, and Peter enters the clinic.
“Ren!” Edreale shouted right away when she saw Oz and approaches him.
“””Ren,””” The others follow suit.
“Hey, guys…” Answered Oz as he turns his head towards them while his body’s still lying at the bed.
“What, why does all of you have a dark expression?” Oz asked Albus and co that approaches Oz with a sour expression.
“It’s unfair, how could they erase the memories of almost everyone, you supposed to get the credit of having the best and the most intense fight!” (Edreale)
“Yea, even the ice princess got her memory erased too,” (Alfred)
“Ice princess? Does the princess watched my fight too?” Asked Oz.
“Of course, Ren. Nobles, generals, soldiers, and the royalties watched you. But well, the princess is watching as a candidate student like us though,” (Alfred)
“What? The princess is entering the magic academy too?” (Oz)
“Yea… Hm?” Alfred’s face approaches Oz’s with a weird grin.
“Does the strange Ren had finally get interested in a girl? And the first girl is the princess?” (Alfred)
“Of course no,” Oz pushes Alfred’s face away.
“I’ve got a problem with that troublesome princess before,” When Oz remembers the arrogant princess’s tone back then, he gets a little bit irritated.
“T-troublesome? You might be the only one who dares to say that about her, Ren…” Albus rebuked with a wry smile.
“By the way… Sorry, Ren, my father went too far to you, luckily you’re finally awake after 3 days,” Albus apologetically said.
“It’s fine… Eh, wait, 3 days?” (Oz)
“Hm? Yea, 3 days, you fainted for 3 days, Ren,” (Albus)
(Damn! Why do I need to faint every time I battle against strong people?) (Oz)
“Ah! Do I miss anything?” (Oz)
“You miss almost everything, Ren,” Answered Peter.
“Seriously? Could you please explain to me all of it?” Oz plead.
“Fine…” (Peter)
After Oz fainted, Albus and co immediately dashed to the battle arena to check him up. But suddenly, the magic god, Oxius flew high above them and cast a grand spell that covers all the spectators with red flames.
It seems that it’s the spell that the magic god uses to erase the spectators’ memories. After that, the commentator immediately announced that the 3rd test is done, and all spectators are permitted to go home.
On the next day, the magic academy announced the one who passed the test to enroll at the magic academy, and there is a new class made at Oz’s generation.
“A new class?” Oz asked Albus.
“Yes, including you, the six of us will be entering that new class, they called it the special class,” Albus said with a shrug.
“Special class?” (Oz)
“Yea, it’s only this year that a lot of sword saint rank students enter the magic academy at the same time. The academy considered that we’re going to need a different class than the other so that our improvement will not be hindered by the slow progress of other classes,” (Albus)
“I see… Wait, I’m only at the master swordsman rank, why do I need to enter the special class too?” (Oz)
“Ren… You defeated the supreme general of the kingdom! Even if there are only a few people that have the memory of the battle, the academy knew it all! There’s no way a master swordsman rank student candidate that defeats the sword saint rank supreme general of the kingdom will be put at a normal class!” Albus immediately rebuked Oz’s words.
Oz sighs.
“I’m too rash, huh,” (Oz)
“Yes, you are, you really make us get a cold sweat at our back, Ren,” Said Peter with a helpless expression.
“Well, it’s not the first time I got this kind of injury, so you don’t need to worry. By the way, when will we start our first class?” (Ren)
“It’s a week after the 3rd test, so four more days,” (Albus)
“I see…” (Oz)
(4 days, huh… I believe my body is not at a very bad condition, I could sneak out to the grand library at night) (Oz)
Oz chatted with his friends for another 2 hours and the others decided to went back to the inn and let Oz rest again.
“Hm… I think I’ll visit Tarot until night come,” Oz said to himself as he closes himself and gathers his consciousness.
(I haven’t visited them for 3 days, I hope they don’t worry too much) (Oz)
