"Leave it there Aaris." A familiar voice came from behind, Aaris turned back and saw Miss. Ilin standing behind him.
"Miss. Ilin!" A weird smile composed of happiness and regret came upon his face, "Miss. Ilin I- I am sorry for letting you go through those things and-"
"Just shut for a second, will you? And you kids go back to your rooms,
*sigh*
Anyway, let's go." She looked around and started walking toward the hallway.
Without any question, I followed her, walking past her I saw many different rooms in the hallway but something was off, usually, there are 10-11 rooms on the one side of a corridor in our building but here I saw only 4 rooms on each side of the corridor,
While we were climbing the stairs I asked Miss. Ilin.
"Um- Madam? Why do those kids despite mages?"
"It's a human tendency, after all, we tend to hate the whole Ocean if a single fish hurts us, but it's nothing you should be bothered about." She said,
after walking a while and climbing few floors we reached a door ending the upstairs with a door tag-
( Authorized Personnel Only )
She cast a Key Spell, probably because the door must be protected by a Locking Seal, and entered the room.
We entered a dark corridor with Magus Circles everywhere around us, walls, ceiling, and even on the floor. The farther I tried to catch the sight of the hallway, the less the light was there.
"Madam?"
"Hun? Are you afraid now?" She looked all smug.
"Of course not, but can you explain why a kid is hanging in the air at the end of the hallway?
Aaris pointed his finger at end of the corridor,
him? So you can see him too." She replied but continued to walk then halted at room no. 205.
A strange kid hanging in the air with only his legs and face showing remains was covered in thick black fog, he looked like a 10 -year-old kid with black hair and looking at Aaris smiling.
"Madam, how can you be so relaxed!!" Aaris was sweating like crazy and almost screamed when he looked at him, he was still shaking after seeing him smiling at him.
"I'll tell you everything, first of all, walk into this room." She went inside room 205, trying to avoid the apparition of that kid Aaris hurriedly close the door as soon as he entered the room,
breathing heavily and drenched in sweat he rested on his forehead on the door and started talking to himself,
"That was a delusion, of course, that was delusion haha! Otherwise, why would I see a thing like that! Haha!"
Muttering this and comforting himself, he forgot he wasn't alone in that room,
"So you are Aaris Ralkier." A childlike boy's voice uttered his name.
This was enough to make him jump like a cat, and turned back he saw Ilin standing in front of opaque glass.
"BEGONE EVIL SPIRIT!! I SENT A MUCH MORE TERRIFYING DEMON TO HELL BEFORE YOU!! DON'T TAKE ME LIGHTLY!! PLEAS-"
"Still a dumbhead like always, shut UP!" A strong knuckle whacked on his head, enough to provoke him off.
"Who the fuc-!" Caressing the lump on his head in pain, he gawked at the one who struck him, but his anger faded away when he saw Serlin standing in front of him, "Sir!! How? Why? I mean-!!"
"Calm down boy! We'll answer everything now but before that, we want you to meet someone." Serlin, as usual, calm and composed, peered at the glass.
"Who?"
(There were already too many frights for me today now what?) Aaris thought.
"Madam, if you please," Serlin glimpsed at Ilin, and she nodded then swiped down her finger on the opaque glass.
The sight behind the glass became clear but when Aaris tried to look closely into the glass, he saw a familiar face.
"You!"
The kid had the same face as the apparition Aaris saw across the hallway, but this kid was bedridden with a dwindled body and pale skin, turn his head toward the Aaris he called him with his hand.
( who is this kid? he looks like a corpse but he's certainly alive, so why did I saw his ghost earlier? ) Aaris was in turmoil but suddenly he recalled to undertake one possibility
( who is this kid? he looks like a corpse but he's certainly alive, so why did I saw his ghost earlier? ) Aaris was in turmoil but suddenly he realized that he forgot something.
"Is it the Curse of Luix?" Aaris closed up to the glass and looked at Ilin,
"My...my you never cease to surprise me Aaris" looking at the boy, Ilin spoke, "There aren't many who know that The Curse of Luix is true, this boy here his name is Warren Patoin he is suffering from this curse for a long time, we know nothing about him except his name and curse he doesn't talk too much, but a few days ago when Dustin came here-"
"Oh yes! What about Dustin what happened? Did you beat him? Did we win?" Aaris went hectic.
"What do you mean 'what happened?'" Ilin was perplexed by Aaris' question, " do you not remember what happened that day?"
"Um- well not much I fainted after he casted his Spell on me, I don't remember much after that…hehe" scratching his head Aaria tried hard to remember what happened after that.
"Oh boy!" Serlin exclaimed, "let's make it short I defeated Dustin, and This boy here he-"
"Sir!" Ilin shouted.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Leave it there Aaris." A familiar voice came from behind, Aaris turned back and saw Miss. Ilin standing behind him.
