Chapter 25: The Diamond King

Arc: The Tragedy 

Who would have thought, that I would waste 10 days of my second year of high school in a different world,  it was worth it though , seeing those beautiful scenery was  enough  reason to make me come back again.

April 20 , after Jason and his comrades across the portal, they located at the top of the stairs  . The four bowed down  their heads wondering while they were looking directly at another door which was  on the bottom of the stairs  . 

Nichole :"These passages !...Are we in school ?"

Tom surprised:"The school is the borderline ?"

Christine marched ahead with no words heading straight home .

Jason:"We are back."

Nichole:"You must understand her feelings ,Jason."

Jason:"I know that, luckily for us , we  arrived after school time ."

At the Diamond king's castle , where he receives his guests in a large , bright hall with a huge chandelier  that swings in the middle of the hall , the amazing flower motifs with an exquisite detailing  in  Victorian style on the walls , the king sits on his throne when the major general Eyan  enters. 

The Diamond king:"So , Redeyes from the royal dynasty .....the Redeyes king has started his move ."

Eyan:"I'm afraid so, your majesty , but we are searching for them at this moment."

Diamond king:"Find them quickly , if they were actually still here ..what is it , you are not here to tell me just that?"

Eyan:"It is already passed 7 months since the last update for the insulator, it turns out to be the reason why they were in our lands ."

Diamond king:"You're saying it is because of the debility of the insulator, officer?"

Eyan:"No , I mean it's not like that , it's because of the negligence of us soldiers ."

Diamond King :" My father , the previous king , died before  5 months  on account of using his magic to create the last insulator in order to remain for seven months , thinking that he will protect the kingdom , leaving me , a 15 year old boy to rule what he have left behind ....All over , we will start the ceremonies on  July , you can secure the  areas that are closed to the ditch during that time , right officer?"

Eyan:"A..A, sure your majesty."

Eyan walks out of the king's hall, then stooped , leans on the door and said:"Is he really 15 years old ?!...He seems older with his thoughts and wariness , the king left us , but he bought us a intelligent little  king ."

The king stands , talking to himself:"I'm sorry dad , I've always had hatred your weakness and your frightness  , putting faith on the legendary guards, we can't keep depending on them , I'll change this world to better and I won't let those creatures enter my kingdom."

(The king Zeno Crystalline , a boy with dark blue hair and a beamy diamond eye . He is witty in using diamond magic by his magic wand like his big sister  Violet Crystalline .) 

******************************

The next morning in Tokyo , April 21 , at school . Tom and Jason enter their class as usual, sat in their chairs as the whole the classmates were staring at Jason with mercy eyes. 

Jason whispers to Tom :"Oy, why they are all staring at me like that?"

Tom:"I have no idea...Yeah, did you see your copy?"

Jason:" I got goose bumps as soon as I saw him , he was fantastic and strange at the same time ."

Tom:"I know right , mine looks exactly like me , Hey Nichole, how was your copy?"

Nichole :"Strange , but cool ."

Luther, approaches to Jason:"Hi you, I was waiting for so long...where were you?"

Jason, ill-at-ease :"W..What do you mean , I was here all along."

Luther:"What's got into your tone , yesterday you were like" Please stop making fun of me , If I had to I'll pick up your bag." that's what you've been saying."

Jason in shock:"Ha...Haaaa!, even if the ground is going to swallow me , I'm not doing such a thing ."

Luther:"Oh really , look around you and tell me , if you have done it or not."

Jason looks around , and his classmates moved their heads away :"Your kidding , I won't do this to him."

Nichole says as she shows him a photo of him caring Luther's bag :"It's the truth."

Christine looked at him and smiled.

Lucy, sitting in front of her:"Finally ,you smiled ."

Christine with sign language :"Hello Lucy ."

Lucy:"You came early today, you are finally able to wake up in time?"

Christine:"But I always wake up in time."

Lucy with sign language:"No you don't , you always enter the class when the ball rings ."

Christine surprised:"Me?!"

Lucy:"Yes , and the teacher asked you to write an apology letter."

Christine:"Apology letter?!"

In my whole school life , a never asked before to write an apology letter and for what for coming late to school . And because of that I had to return my reputation to the teachers , when I get back to Alanazia , I'll teach that old man a lesson . In fact , we took our time in the real world , we stayed until the end of May with lots of exams  . 

School is over and the three were out with gloomy faces .

Jason:"The test."

Nichole:"Was."

Tom screams:" HARD!"

Christine, using sign language:"No, it wasn't."

Tom:"Are you a human being ?"

Christine , using sign language:"You should've been  studying than playing video games  ."

Jason, replies with sign language:"How did you organize your time? ."

Christine:"I didn't organize anything , a woman can do two things at the same time  ."

Jason:"Never mind with that , I thought you said you don't want us to walk or talk to you ?" 

Christine:"I'm just heading to the same way ."

Nichole :"I'm not getting the conversation here , but I can tell that they are arguing about something."

"Oy, Christine...you're late." Her sister Lura calls.

Christine:"Sorry, this is my sister Lura."

Lura:"Hi , you must be my big sister's friends ."

Lura stares towards Jason with an abasement eye, then moved her face from him , Jason was heartbroken and shocked. 

Lura:"Let's go back sis ."

Christine waives :"Buy Nichole."

Jason :"A..A, her sister hates me even more."

Tom:"their grudge towards you will be inherited through generations."

Jason:"Well, unless I change that."

Nichole:"Where are you going ?"

Jason:"To visit someone."

Nichole hits Tom's shoulders , then he shouts:"Wait, I'm coming ."
