Kiel passed out from exhaustion. As soon as Kiel awakened, my mom and auntie are making an angry face and crossing their arms. Mother says,
"Young lady! You need to be more careful and hold back your power, even it's really amazing that you can cast calamity spell, but you almost killed all of us with it."
While my mother and auntie are scolding Kiel, Vivi and I are laughing at her. Kiel is crying like a little kid, her cuteness makes my mother and auntie stop scolding her, and feel guilty about it. All the students are surrounding them, asking who is that girl, and what Tier is she. The rumor about Kiel is spreading. A genius child that is what they called her, some of them even making rumors that Kiel is my mother and auntie's only disciple.
It's already evening, we said goodbye to my mother and auntie. When we are about to leave, mother says,
"Val, let's go and visit your sisters. They missed you and they have been asking me about you."
I reply,
"Yes mother, is it okay for both of you?"
Vivi and Kiel nod. Mother says,
"Okay good. Let's eat dinner together!"
Auntie replies,
"Yay! Eating with my beloved nephews!"
We all are on our way to my house since we don't have a schedule for guarding Rorin's family tomorrow. Mother says,
"So, Val. You haven't told us why you are here."
I reply,
"Oh, right. We are here because we had to escort the Rorin family from Crude village, and right now we all are guarding them for a week until the meeting is over.
Auntie replies,
"Marquess Rorin?!"
I reply,
"Yes, auntie."
Mother replies,
"Did something bad happen, when you are on your way here?"
Kiel replies,
"Yes! Jungle bandits attacked us on our way here."
Mother and auntie are shocked. Mother replies,
"Then what happened?!"
Kiel replies,
"We killed them all! Well, we captured the leader, Boerno Gilas. But we ended up killing him as well after we got some information from him."
Auntie is picking Kiel up and says,
"Boerno Gilas?! How? He is one of the most wanted people in Bulark's Kingdom. He is stronger than anyone here. Even Hugh had a hard time catching him."
Kiel replies,
"Because Mister Zee party is the strongest! They can beat anyone so easily!"
Mother and auntie are confused. Mother replies,
"Zee? Who is that?"
I reply,
"We will tell you about them at dinner. Because it will take quite a lot of time to tell you about him and his friends."
We arrived at my new house, it's quite big. We used to live in Findel City far from the Kingdom, but it can't be compared to this huge mansion. Hilda and Madel are surprised to see me. They ran and hugged me so tightly. Vivi and Kiel are looking at them with curiosity. Hilda and Madel noticed that there are two girls behind me. Hilda asks,
"Who are they, big bro?"
I reply,
"They're my friends from my party. This is Viviette Leyhem and that's Kiel Farhan. Their classes are Bishop and Wizard."
Vivi and Kiel are waving at them and greeted them. Hilda and Madel are surprised because there's someone that young that already is a Wizard. Hilda and Madel immediately approached Vivi and Kiel. My mother then says,
"Alright ladies, let's get inside and get ready for lunch."
We all went to the dining room and ate lunch together. Then Vivi and Kiel are playing with Hilda and Madel while I told mother and auntie about my story while I'm in the Crude Village. After that, we said goodbye to them since we have to go back to the Royal Palace to do our job. On our way to the palace, Vivi says,
"If we really want to go into the academy, aren't we already too late to be a student? I mean, we're already a Tier 3."
I reply,
"You're right... But... It's still 5 months from now, and if we work harder and do lots of quests and exploration. We could be a Tier 5 before we entered the academy, and become a hybrid."
Vivi's and Kiel's eyes widened and looking at each other. I asked them, what do they want to be as their secondary class. Vivi says,
"I really don't know... I mean, I never thought that I would be able to become a Tier 3 in a month.
But I think I want to be a Naturer since I'm a half-elf or a Hunter or a Bard."
I noded, then Kiel says,
"I want to be a Brainier or a Witch."
Since my goal is to be a Grandmaster. We're on our way to the palace and we saw Secra alone wandering around the city. Because the sun is almost down, we agreed to follow her and see where is she going. She's been walking quite far, and the place we're at is getting darker and dirtier. It seems we're in a poor area, and the people are skinny and their clothes are full of holes. We see her giving money to the poor and go door to door, and playing her harp to cheer them up. Suddenly we see three men with black cloth covering their faces, and kidnapping her. When we're about to run to save her, a figure coming out from the shadow and hits us on the back. My vision is getting blurry, I see Vivi and Kiel already passed out. My body is getting heavier and heavier, then I passed out.
When I woke up and my vision getting clearer, I see Vivi, Kiel, and Secra on the bed surrounded by 5 men. When I try to get up, my hands and my legs are tied up on the chair, my mouth covered with cloth. I tried to use all my strength to free myself but my body feels so weak. I can only scream and wake Vivi, Kiel, and Secra up. Their hands and legs are tied up, and their mouths as well. They are screaming and tears coming out of their eyes. I noticed the kidnapper's outfit, it's the attire for the nobel's personal guard that gifted by the King. They've been following Secra this whole time. One of the guys says,
"This is our lucky day, we got 2 cuties and a goddess. I bet her body is so smooth and taste so sweet. Master is going to love our catches when he sees it."
He removed the cloth from Secra's mouth and then Secra says,
"Mister, can you please spare these 2 young ladies? They're still too young and innocent. I'll do anything you all want until you are satisfied, and I won't tell anyone."
They are getting impatient and start smelling Secra's body, and one of the guys says,
"Her voice is so beautiful, her body smells so nice! I can't wait to use her, I will accept your request and let these 2 cuties stand beside that guy over there and watch."
They put Vivi and Kiel beside me and starting to removing Secra's clothes one by one until nothing is left, just her long hair covering her body. Secra looking at us and smiles, and closed her eyes. They start touching her body and rubbing their filthy hands on her face, putting their fingers on her lips. We can only watch, we're screaming and hope someone will come to help us. Vivi and Kiel starting to cry again because they can't do anything to help Secra. All of the guys already naked and ready to rape her. As soon as one of them get on top of her, in a blink of an eye, Edith appeared and kicked the guy on the face, and flew him away from Secra. Edith's stares are scarier than Shive, and she chants something. We can't hear what is she chanting, but her stares towards all the guys are like telling them that they are going to die. After she finished chanting, all of the guys' bodies exploded and the whole room was covered with blood.
Edith untied Secra and help cleaning Secra's body from the blood, and Secra put on her clothes back. After she finished cleaning Secra's body, Edith untied all of us. Then she chants a spell, and immediately all the guys come back to life as nothing happened then explode them again. She revives them again and explodes them again, over and over until they lost their mind, and then she punches all of them and making them all unconscious. We watched the whole thing, our bodies are trembling with fear. Edith staring at us with her blank yet scary expression. Then Secra pats her on the shoulder and Edith's expression suddenly back to normal. That stare, it feels like my heart stops beating for a few seconds. Then Edith says,
"You three saw nothing today. Understand?"
We all nod in fear for witnessing Edith's wrath and what we just saw is indescribable.
