Investigating

Arriving close to the dormitories, Ikuto asked, frustrated – Why were you there?

Felipe said, while breathing hard, they were already tired and yet, Ikuto practically pushed them to the dormitories – Precisely because of the creature…

Before he could finish explaining, Ikuto interrupted him – And what did you think you would do if you found her?

No one responded, from Celine, it was all a coincidence, but in fact, what did they think would happen if they found her? Would they fight? With what skills?

– Everyone inside – Ikuto snorted, and when he was about to go back to find Thamy, his arm was held by Matheu.

– Christopher Ferri is dead.

Ikuto stopped, his mind completely confused, he looked at the others, waiting for someone else to confirm.

Felipe and Raphael nodded, Ikuto then looked at Harumi, who was looking at the ground with a sad and scared expression.

– …right – He turned around, still stunned and walked back into the institute.

Seeing his state regarding the news, the others looked worried, Matheu held Felipe's arm – Let's go inside, we're not useful at all, they'll sort it out.

Seeing them go away, Raphael soon followed them.

Leila sighed tiredly – How did this happen… – Holding the hands of both Celine and Harumi, she took them back to the dormitory. Arriving at the door, they noticed that it was locked.

Harumi's eyes suddenly filled with tears, until that moment, she hadn't cried, only to let it all out now.

Celine then sat down on the floor next to the door. The girls looked at her a little lost, but soon followed her.

That night, as Ikuto left them back in the dormitory, he disappeared, the next day neither he nor thamy was in sight.

Harumi was getting worried when Leila comforted her – They were probably discussing what happened to the director and taking care of Nevra, it's normal that they're missing like that.

Celine was thoughtful, what she saw coming out of Nevra, that was... his aura, right? But thinking a little more - 'the power of Nevra was water, pure water, this was his element, the aura should be blue, as it is described that it would be, but why did the color she saw white?'

The answers to this question appeared two days later when a spell outbreak came from the area of the infirmary, that area suddenly was unbearable, the cold was so intense that no one could get closer, it lasted almost all day, and teachers spent a lot of time trying to solve this problem. The students knew that there was currently a single student in the infirmary at that moment, who was apparently in a coma... this was the young master of the wizard of pure water, Nevra.

All quickly started gossiping over it, theories began to arise among the students, and even a few absurds like - 'The lady of the pure water wizard fell in love with an ice mage, then it was supposed that Nevra was a bastard of the clan of pure water wizards, or that Nevra had made a pact with a demon, freezing his nucleus and transforming his power from water into ice...'

The latter was very close to the truth, except for the 'pact with a demon' that could be replaced by - 'Almost frozen to death, which forced his nucleus to a mode of defense, freezing itself and turning into powers of ice, so that Nevra did not die frozen'. Thanks to his current core, Nevra didn't feel cold... he could simply be buried in the snow with only his head out that still, the moment he left he would be in perfect condition, with no signs of freezing.

– Did you know anything about Thamy? He disappeared these days – A student commented suddenly, quickly attracting others to change the subject of gossip.

– I knew he had to go back to Waterfall, Ikuto also came back with him.

All were astonished – Why would they return to Waterfall? Has something happened?

The new discussion issue has quickly become 'why Thamy and Ikuto have to go back to Waterfall', and those who knew the real reason, were in the college side garden, they were currently arguing and passing on all that there was that day, especially now that they discovered the strange power that Celine owned…

– What kind of power would this be? You said you saw something white around Nevra, right? – Felipe asked with a thoughtful expression.

– Should this be... his aura? – Matheu asked.

Celine didn't know what could be, but that was what came closer than she thought would be – ...maybe.

Leila, sitting on one of the seats, stared at Celine for a while, her thoughtful expression as she stared at Celine, she stood up and finally said – Try your power with me, can you see something in me?

Celine stared at her, she narrowed and opened her eyes from time to time, and she shook her head, Leila frowned – Is it just because that shadow was taking Nevra's aura?

Harumi, who was sitting on the floor next to them with a lost expression murmured – Maybe she still can not control well, so it appears from time to time...

Leila looked at Harumi's words for a few minutes before nodding - 'It makes more sense than what I thought'

Now that the creature was dead they do not need to worry more...

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

It was almost midnight when two people on horseback passed smoothly through the gates of the Kesla College, stopping at the stable to leave their mounts before walking calmly to the male dorms, they went straight to one of the first-floor rooms, entering silently and lying on the beds.

In the morning, Drazhan and Hiro suddenly found his roommates who had been missing for a few days.

Thamy and Ikuto had returned, and even before they could have breakfast, they were surrounded by many students, they asked what had happened to them, why they had disappeared, and where they had gone, among other more irrelevant questions.

Noting Thamy and Ikuto's tiredness, Hiro scattered the students while Drazhan picked up breakfast, sitting at a table in the corner they talked about what happened, and then everything was explained. Everyone presented similar expressions, but no one knew what the other was thinking.

– So that's what happened... How's your wound? – Hiro asked.

– I'm better now – Thamy yawned, the others looked at him with complicated expressions.

– You should rest a little more, you don't have class now anyway.

– Hiro is right, Ikuto and the girls can take care of the council – Drazhan said as he pulled Thamy from the chair and pushed him lightly toward the rooms.

Thamy didn't avoid him, and before he walked away he threw a look at Ikuto, who understood and waved.

In just a few minutes the dormitory was empty, Thamy stared at the wall in front of his desk for a while, frowning a little his eyebrows, he undid the band of his uniform and his inner clothes, removing that carefully.

There were four cuts, they began on his left shoulder and descended up his arm. He watched the cut for a few more minutes, holding out his right hand to touch it, the pain had already stopped, but the wound made him feel a strange feeling, Thamy understood well what that wound caused in him, his power that was already weak because of a previous accident was even weaker, Thamy sighed as he placed his shirt back and his uniform.

Standing up he left the dorms, walking toward the school.

As soon as he came in, he walked down the corridors, climbing a few stairs before stopping at a door and entering, at the door a single written word:

'Infirmary'

– Senior? – The young man who was technically 'in a coma' was perfectly fine, Nevra who was lying on one of the beds sat quickly.

Thamy approached and pushed him lightly back – Don't get up.

Nevra nodded as he lay down, Thamy sat on a chair next to the bed and said – Start explaining the reason for you to be in the school that night.

Nevra lowered his head, Thamy had enough time and incredible patience to expect an explanation, if nevra did not say anything he would need to seek this information with others.

Nevra frowned before beginning to tell the events of that night, and until a little bit before when they decided to investigate, Nevra explained in detail about the amulet of spirits, as they met the girls and what Celine had seen, the rest he already knew. As soon as Nevra finished explaining he watched Thamy's expression, which was immersed in his thoughts, remembering something Nevra looked at Thamy's chest, being faced with such an assault Thamy couldn't fail to move a little of the chair where he was sitting.

– I'm fine, it was not a very deep wound, I'm more curious by the fact that you're not a pure-water wizard, that's a bit worrying... – Thamy spoke calmly.

Nevra looked away – It was an accident.

Thamy nodded – Your father knows this?

Nevra's lashes trembled for a second, responding in a downcast voice – Yes... but he knows about the accident, so he just gets sad and blames it for what happened.

– How will it be for you to take the clan?

Opening his eyes, Nevra let out a sigh – According to the lineage I should take over, but that's just something from my head since the elders will not allow someone from ice powers to assume a clan of pure power like pure water, even if is close to this power, they wouldn't yet allow.

Thamy was angry at these ideologies but didn't let this affect his expressions, not showing this and just nodding, and saying goodbye to Nevra, Thamy walked to the library where he was sure he would find a certain person.

He looked at the two boys who whispered to each other, both holding books facing a shelf.

Thamy raised one eyebrow – Boys?

The whispers ceased, and both boys looked at Thamy at the end of the shelf, perplexed: – Senior Thamy! – Felipe hurried, watching Matheu still astonished beside him, Felipe pulled lightly to wake him, Matheu was also curved as he said – Senior.

...

– That's what we found – Felipe handed Thamy the torn leaf that had been shown to his colleagues days ago. Thamy read the content of the sheet, frowning slightly. Felipe spoke again – Put the sheet against the sunlight, and some strange words will appear, I don't know this language, so there was no need to do this when we saw before.

Thamy did what Felipe had said, putting the sheet against the sunlight that came from the window, He watched when dozens of strange symbols filled the paper, below the descriptions, arrows pointing to the drawing of the jewel, they resembled small notes, but the words weren't messed up, as if they had not been written differently. Thamy returned the paper to Felipe.

– Senior discover something? – Matheus asked watching Thamy's thoughtful expression, it seemed that he could not understand anything from those symbols either.

– Where did you find this? And the book? Perhaps a way to find out about these symbols if we have the full book – Thamy spoke quietly, but his expression was a little lost as if he thought that none of this made sense.

Felipe and Matheus shook their head simultaneously – We only found this page, we were just looking for the book... – Matheus stopped talking, looking askance at Felipe, who looked away.

Thamy had a complicated expression as he stared at the two boys in front of him, he prepared to leave – Okay, keep this, don't let someone else know.

Both nodded, they knew that if someone with other intentions discovered would be harder to control the situation, especially about Kesla, a book with this kind of cruel content shouldn't be in the library of a college, but in a very well-protected room, in a box covered with chains and sealed with magic, just in case.

With that said, Thamy turned to leave, passing by one of the shelves he looked askance to a person who was facing one of the bookshelves, a little far from where they talked, looking very absorbed in the book she was reading.

– Asterin – Thamy waved at her while passing.

Asterin looked at him perplexed – Ah, Senior Thamy – She waved back, watching as Thamy smiled at her and left the library.

As soon as he disappeared Asterin demonstrated a serious expression, going near the wall and looking at the two young people still at the table.

Asterin smiled for a moment before starting to read again.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The entire school knew of the return of its President and Vice President of the Council, and the students argued excitedly, Raphael left his classroom as soon as the lunch signal was heard, he walked calmly towards the infirmary, turning a corridor he found Thamy, a few feet away talking to two other seniors, his expression was smiling, as if nothing had happened.

'He looks fine, I'll ask someone about him' - Raphael thought as he continued to watch him.

Thamy was an important person to him, who helped him fit into this college, he was the first person he met who didn't despise him for being an ordinary human, but he ended up having to walk away from him as he didn't want to tarnish Thamy's reputation, he was a rookie who was being taken care of by a group of seniors, the other students sure thought the seniors just felt sorry for him, but he had never thought so.

Thamy was almost an idol for him, as well as for many people, his family grew and became what it was today thanks to a Night Mage, specifically, the First Nigth Mage, the most powerful, so, since he met Thamy he wanted to approach him, a selfish desire, as many other students had, "everyone", wanted to be friends with a Mage of such rare power, but of course, how could an ordinary human achieve such a feat? As soon as he tried to get closer, Thamy fans would find a way to push him away.

This lasted until the first day he received a warning, having to go to the council to receive his punishment. Thamy and Ikuto had already led the council since that time, the director protected them from veterans who felt wronged, it was not wrong to say that these two could do whatever they wanted, they were talented and handsome, as well as being disciples of a monarch.
