016. The magic tower {1}

Three days later,

Crystal pov :

Today is the day that I have to go to the magic tower to meet with Vi and Zeck to run an errant that master was too lazy to do.

The last day were quite peaceful but it was rather quite lonely because I used to always have company.

Third person pov:

Crystal usually spent her time reading, practicing, talking with Vivian and Zeckery through the communication device or spending time with her family.

Today is the day she is supposed to meet with Vivian and Zeckery at the magic tower. Crystal went out of their dorm to meet professor Tresa.

"Are you going out Crystal." Professor Tresa asked as Crystal nodded and said "Good morning professor Tresa and yes."

Professor Tresa just nodded. Then Crystal excused herself and teleport to the forest near the magic tower.

She put on her hood and walk down the path that lead to the magic tower.

After walking for a while she came across giant rock with a green magic circle on it.

She touch the circle and was immediately teleport to a large gate surrounding a tall black tower in the middle.

Crystal pov;

The tall tower in the middle was the magic tower. 

Magic towers contain everything related to ancient magic such as spell books, magic tools, herbs, potions, magic stones, charms and everything else.

Magic tower are only able to be accessed only by the mages of white rank or higher. Those who are permitted can enter too.

You need a special badge to enter the magic tower. This was called the black castle, own by a great magician who was specialise in black magic.

From what I know he was one of the greatest contributors, during the great dementional war more than one thousand years ago.

Not many knows about that wars because it is confidential information. Since I am one of master's direct apprentice.

Third person pov;

Crystal walk up to the gate and open the gate with magic. She walk to the entrance of the magic tower.

As she was about to open it, she heard noises in the nearby. She was about to attack when three boys and a girl came out.

It was Louise, Shinsu, Mark and Delia. All of them were looking at her with a bit frightened expression on their faces.

Crystal pov:

What the fuck why are the three male leads and the villainess here. Wait shouldn't they be mortal enemies why are they together.

They do grow up to look just like the manhwa. I almost couldn't recognise them.

That's not important what's important is that why are they here. Are they here to kill me but why? I haven't done anything.

Wait they didn't know my identity right. I should just keep it that way. I won't go back and meet my doom no matter what.

Third person pov:

Then Mark spoke out. "Excuse me are you a mage?" Crystal quickely contain her composure and nod her head. Mark face lit up a little.

"Then can you please help us find our badge. We accidently drop it somewhere."

Crystal was about to reply when Louise pull Mark back and whisper into his ear.

"Are you sure we can trust him. How do you even know he means no harm."

The both of them look back at Crystal who was wearing a hood. Crystal clear her throat.

"That's quite rude and I'm a girl. Don't worry. I can guarantee that I mean no harm and I will help you find your badge.

If you don't mind me asking why are all of you here. You guys are not certainly mages. Except for him." Mark scratch the back of his head.

"My father asked me to run an errant." "I see your father the archmage." They look at her surprise.

"How do you know my father?".'shit I should shut my mouth.'Crystal thought and said "Let's just say I'm a friend of archmage Deam."

Crystal said as she cast a spell. Soon a badge came flying into Crystal's hand. Crystal toss the badge to Mark. "Here don't lose it again."

Crystal turn back to the door and put her badge into the hole on the door. The badge start to glow gold.

When the door open Crystal turn back to Louise and the others. "What not gonna go in?"

Mark's looking at her in shock. "You- You are a golden stage mage. But-But you look so young. How old are you exactly?"

"That's a question I cannot answer. Byee" Crystal left them behind and walk down the hall to the stairs.

She head to the highest floor. Once she reach the top floor she went into the room at the end of the hall.

She open the door to be attack by a bear hug from a person with a white hood. The both of them fell down to the floor.

"Hey Vi long time no see. Even if it was only last night that we speak." "Stalle I miss you so much"

Vivian got up from the floor and help Crystal up. Crystal turn to the other person who was wearing a blue hood.

"Hey Zeck how are you." Zeckery snicker. "Well not counting that I'm are most die a few hours ago. I'm completely fine. "

Crystal blink at them. "Wait what? What do you mean almost die." Zeckery look at Vivian and said "Asked her."

Vivian look away and whistle innocently. Crystal deadpan her. "Vivian Liberty do you mind explaining."

Vivian averted her gaze and said "Well-"

Flashback,

Two hours ago,

Vivian was in her room looking out the window. "Buttercup?" She heard someone and turn around to meet a boy with flaming red hair and sparkling violet eyes as same as her.

It was her older brother Crimson Liberty, the crown prince of Klolina. She ran up to him and hug him.

"Brother Crim!" Crimson pick her up and went out of the door with Vivian in his arms. "Have you eaten breakfast yet?"

Vivian shake her head "No silly, I was waiting for you." Crimson shake his head and sigh.

"Vivi I already told you don't wait for me. I have work to do. It's not good for your health ,if you keep eating late."

Vivian pouts. "But I don't want to eat alone. I don't have anyone to eat with except you.

Admit it brother crim you just don't want to eat with Vivi right?" Crimson giggle at his cute sister.

" That's not it Vivi I was just worry about your health." "Brother Crim is mean."

Vivian said as she cross her arm and turn her head away while still being carried by her brother.

Crimson look at his pouting sister and laught out loud. "OK OK this big brother is at fault here.

so don't be mad anymore OK my dearest younger sister." Vivian look back at her brother and hug his neck.

"Your lucky that I love you so much." "Of course of course great princess of Klolina." Both of them laughs as they enter the dinning room.

After breakfast Vivian went up to her room.

"Your imperial princess, the young master of the Smith dukedom is here." OK I will be there in a minute. "

Vivian said as she turn to her maids who was helping her pack. "Then I will be leaving the packing to you."

Misa and the other maids bow down and said "As you wish your imperial princess."

Vivian then leave her maids and went to the waiting room to meet up with Zeckery.

She open the door and saw Zeckery sitting in on of the couches while reading. When she enter Zeckery look up from his book.

"Hey Zeck." "Hey Vi. You done packing." "Yeah Misa and the other maids are packing for me." Vivian sit down in front of him.

"I see. Well we have to go before we're late." Zeckery said as he got up from the couch.

Vivian also stand up and got walk out of the door into the garden. Then Vivian put on a white hood while Zeckery put on a blue hood.

"Wait I have to say goodbye to brother Crim." "Yes?" They turn around to see Crimson coming toward them with his knight behind him.

"Brother Crim!" Vivian ran and hug him as Zeckery bow down. "Going to leave now." Crimson asked as Vivian just nodded.

"Take care both of you." He continue as he also turn to Zeckery. "Thank you your highness." Zeckery said while bowing down.

Vivian ran back to Zeckery and wave her hand. "Bye brother Crim take care." She said as they teleport away.

They reappear over a crocodile pond. They almost fell but Zeckery used floating magic to keep them in mid-air.

"Vivian Liberty you idiot. You teleport us to the wrong place. Are you trying to kill me or something. " "Sorry I got distracted for a while there."
