Magic Puzzle (1)
"Lapiz... are you sure they are here?" (Rosaline)
"Im positive, Bubble said that they were here" (Lapiz)
"Your water spirit?" (Rosaline)
"Yep" (Lapiz)
"Okay then let's go" (Rosaline)
"Okay" (Lapiz)
After a minutes or so, they found them talking to an old man near the fountain garden, when lapiz was about to rush towards them she were stopped by Rosaline
"Rosy?" (Lapiz)
"Shuss wait for a moment" (Rosaline)
Though confused, she listened to her best friend's judgment.
Watching from afar Rosaline's mind is full of questions, this was because she recognized the oldman talking to them, making it more confusing.
Who are they? Why is the Grand Sage talking to them? How are they so powerful?
The more she looked at them the more confused she became, when the oldman is about the leave a shocking word came out from him
"I almost forgot, this is your training task until we meet again" (Maxwell)
"Well then see you next year" (Maxwell)
Hearing this her mind went blank before she start to deduce their information
'Training task? What does that mean? Is the paper the sage gave them is this 'Training Task' if so why would the sage give them training? Wait.... There is no way, I thought he didn't want a disciple' (Rosaline)
She remembered when her father called the sage over to his mansion, the idea was that her father wanted him to teach me if the qualifications are met. But when he laid his eyes on me he said
"She is indeed talented but at best she would only reach my level. It's not that I don't want to teach her but she is not the one i'm looking for" (Maxwell)
I still remembered what he said a year ago when he talked to my father
Suddenly the voice of her best friend resounded waking her up from her own world
"Rosy!! Let's go quickly before they leave" (Lapiz)
"Huh!? Ah... yes let's go" (Rosaline)
Just as they were about to go, the duo already left leaving no trace of them behind
In a panic the two girls ran toward where the duo and the oldman location were before they disappeared and looked around to find our trace.
As we look at them from on top a hill in the forest, I let out a sigh as is read the training task master gave us
"Haaa..... at least tell us a hint on what are we supposed to do" (Ray)
Listening at his grumble Laila sighed as she think about the training task
"Are we supposed to decipher this?" (Laila)
"Probably..." (Ray)
"But what is this? I don't even understand anything that is written here, all I could see is random gibberish" (Laila)
"Huh? Gibberish? but the paper showed a complex magic circle, why would you said gibberish?" (Ray)
"Huh? A magic circle?' (Laila)
"Yeah..." (Ray)
"... let me borrow your eyes" (Laila)
She said as she uses the Synchronize function. Using Ray's eyes she saw a complex magic circle on the paper instead of the gibberish on the paper
Seeing this sight she instinctively know what to do, as a smile appeared on her face
"Interesting... It's seems that this magic circle is the key to decipher the gibberish on my paper" (Laila)
"Are you sure? If so, how are we supposed to use the circle?" (Ray)
"I don't know, we just have to do it somehow" (Laila)
"..." (Ray)
'This is bad, her old habit is showing'
Realizing this, I massage my head imagining the amount of work we are going to do when we get home as I sighed
"Haa.... Why the hell would he give two 7 years old child this shit!!?" (Ray)
"Let's research when we get back!" (Laila)
She said while running back towards the mansion, looking at her from behind I let out a big sigh
"Well... Shit" (Ray)
I could only cursed my luck at this situation as I started to ran chasing Laila
***
On top of a broken tower an old man stood while looking at the horizon, after a good minutes or so he suddenly talked
"Don't you think your task is too difficult?" (Maxwell)
"You think so?"
Said a woman that suddenly appeared behind him
"I think the task was too difficult for them this time, I can't even decipher it even when you translate it. They need to at least understand the meaning of space to see the translation dictionary, not that it makes thing easier" (Maxwell)
"Hahaha... I think you have grown too old my little disciple"
"...but you are far older than me" (Maxwell)
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, anyway I could understand that they are indeed special but I still don't understand why are the pillars are interested in them" (Maxwell)
The woman walked towards Maxwell as she said
"It's because they will play a crucial part in the upcoming war"
Hearing this Maxwell clenches his hand and stare at the setting sun.
"I see..." (Maxwell)
Seeing Maxwell determined face she said
"Consider yourself to be lucky to witness their growth, It's not every day that such being is born"
"Haha.... I guess you are right" (Maxwell)
With a dry laugh he replied as a newborn determination grow in his heart
"Welp the others are calling me, I'll see you later goodbye!"
The woman said as she disappeared leaving no trace
Sensing that her presence has disappeared, he let out a big sigh thinking about the big war that is impacting this world
"Only around 400 years left before the war" (Maxwell)
Because of his long life he can't help but to have distorted standar of time just like any long lived creatures
"I think I have to speed up a bit" (Maxwell)
He said as he opened a portal leading to another place.
After he left the broken tower disappeared like it never existed and the world around the tower started to fade.
With that the world faded and then disappeared like it never existed in the first place.
===========================================================
Note:
Hello, this is the Author
This might be dissapointing but the amount of chapter I'll write will start to decrease slightly starting from tomorrow
The reason for this is because school day is starting causing less time to write...
Even so i would still write my novel with the target of at least 600 chapters before ending it
1-2 Chapter/day (If possible) I might not write depending on the condition
Anyway thanks for reading~
