Another Mysterious Group.

Actually, this festival is very boring. But because this festival was made like a memorial to past victories, so many people also participated. They participate by buying a lot of goods, whether it's useful or not. And this new tradition has been running since three years ago.

In an area far from the density of the people in the city, there was a quite large hut in the middle of the forest. That hut was home to the five strongest children in the city of Valhand. Not only strong in magic, but in various other things, such as his body and mind. They were all under fifteen years old and had already reached rank C. They also have the same dream, which is to become the strongest mage in the world.

Nare Ciguerl is a Fire Mage and is the leader among the five of them. He has a competitive nature and doesn't give up easily. Apart from that, he is also great at making magic weapons. Nare can make a magic weapon using its fire to become a large fiery sword. The sword he usually used against wild beasts and other dangerous things. He named the sword Eradicator.

Nare has a younger sister, her name is Kire Ciguerl and she is also a Fire Mage. She was a year younger than Nare, but they were both ranked C. But Kire can use water magic even though she is not very skilled. She's usually the one to calm things down when they're awkward. She has great affection for his brother.

Gina Oumann is also one of five. She is an Earth Mage. She usually protects them all in battle, as she can't use magic to attack very well. She was also called 'The Protector' by the hunter guild because she was the one who usually protected the east gate of the city from attacks. She has a cheerful nature since she met Shone and the others.

Then there's Shone Akyo, the Lightning Mage. He is Gina's childhood friend. He had known Gina since they were five years old. Shone has high self-esteem and sometimes too much. Usually, he was the one who attacked first when they fought, because he was the fastest among the five of them. Also by utilizing his lightning power, Shone can use his magic to move clouds and air to make thunder rain.

And lastly, Leo Crystfal. He is the mysterious boy Kire meets when the 'Illidan Tragedy' occurs. He has a cold nature and sometimes seems arrogant. Even so, Leo is the strongest among them. He can use ice and wind magic. Not much of his past is known because he also doesn't tell his past. Leos usually set their tactics when dealing with enemies. Even though he is smart, strong in using magic, and also no less fast than Shone, Leo's physique is very weak because he is lazy to exercise.

Meeting after meeting, fight after fight, they all grew stronger and in the end, they decided to leave the city and go to the school in the capital.

One morning, three years after the events of 'Illidan's Revenge' in a hut in the middle of the forest.

"Here I come!"

Clenching his sword grip, Nare dashes towards Kire.

"As usual, your sword is very hot, brother."

"But you always managed to avoid it."

"Because you swung it too slowly, big brother."

After they spoke, they started to fall silent and the atmosphere began to tense up. Nare started heating up his sword again then dashes towards Kire and kept slashing at her.

She's getting better at dodging my sword. It's bad for me as her brother because I look weak. But, I'm not done yet!

Not finished slashing, Nare changes the direction of his swing and he slashes towards the ground below. Then the land around Kire started to burn.

Did he change his way of attacking? Kire who realized it immediately flew herself using the whirlpool that she released with her magic.

"Damn, looks like I'm lucky."

"Hey! Come back here, Kire."

"Why?"

"Because I can't hit you, while you are in the air."

"But I can't even get close to you, brother. Your aura is too hot."

Kire can feel the aura around Nare which is very hot. The aura that Nare releases to protect himself from harm.

"Then let me finish this quickly. [Eruption]"

Nare uses fire magic [Eruption] which is fire magic that releases extremely hot magma from the ground. Nare directs his magic towards the center of the water to heat the water and turn the water that makes Kire float in the air into magma. Nare's plan works and makes Kire fall from the air. And before Kire hit the ground, she used water magic to get the water out of her hand again to reduce the impact of her fall.

After Kire lands safely, Nare draws his sword towards Kire's neck which makes her surrender.

"I lose again, brother."

"Well, I managed to win again."

"But next time, I won't lose to you."

"Oh really? And I will never lose to you again, Kire."

"Let's see then."

While they were talking, Gina put a towel on their heads.

"You two, let's have breakfast. Leo has made a pancake for us."

"Alright!" they both said.

Then the three of them entered the hut.

Inside the hut, there are three rooms. That is, the room for cooking and for eating or what is commonly called the dining room. Then a room for a hangout and a room for a shower.

The three of them then entered the dining room.

"Gina, help me prepare the table."

"Alright, Shone."

"Kire, Nare, you two have to take a shower first. Especially you Nare, you smell bad."

"Is that a compliment, Leo?"

"You can say that."

"Huh..." Like always huh. "Alright, I'll take a bath first... Kire, wait for me."

"Alright, brother."

Before Nare left the dining room and went to the bathroom, Leo stopped him.

"Wait, I got something to tell you guys."

With curiosity, Nare's expression became serious.

"What's the matter, Leo? Usually, when you want to tell something, there must be something serious, right?"

Shone and Gina who were preparing the table immediately fell silent and their eyes fixed on Leo. The confused Kire also looked at Leo.

"Okay, last night I saw two mysterious strange men in robes."

"Huh?" They were all shocked.
