Chapter 125 The Battle Begins
Amidst the river, debris, and numerous demon corpses,
a large pool the size of Orange Village
stands still, the floodwaters reaching Orange Village having stopped.
Seraph doesn't know where this place is.
Seraph uses his magical artifact to find his way home.
The magic ring of chains activates, indicating the direction of the painting
of the barrier, which he had given to Seraph as a gift.
Seraph begins to float in the direction of the ring of chains.
Time passes, and Seraph reaches the other side of the river.
Seraph can feel the surrounding grass and trees.
Seraph is overjoyed to finally emerge from the water.
"I'm finally out! What a long time! What a long time! The problem is, where is this river? No, first we need to find food. We can only rely on luck. At least we survived thanks to luck. I don't know why I survived."
Seraph walks, heading in the direction of the ring of chains.
Seraph still had plenty of energy left, as he had prepared emergency food supplies.
To prevent this from happening again,
now that the food reserves were depleted, Seraph could only travel back to Gollen Village.
Three days later, at Gollen Village,
a group of people from the Koren School arrived at their destination.
About five people had arrived. One man, the leader of the group,
was wearing a Koren School uniform, half red and half white.
There was a picture of two hands pressed together.
"I'll go greet the people from the Tenshin School first. The rest of you, don't cause too much trouble."
The other four nodded and dispersed.
They split into two groups.
A boy walked away, looking relaxed. Looking at the ruins of the ruined Gollen Village.
This man, with short red hair, nine years old, wearing Korenen school uniform, was named Zoe. And the other man, older than Zoe,
was Zoe's senior, named Louis, with long, black hair that reached to his shoulders, almost seventeen years old.
They watched as many people began repairing houses
that had been badly damaged.
"It seems like it was hit hard, Tenshin school. There was a major fight at this place, no doubt about it."
The smell of demon blood was still strong.
Zoe saw a young child helping his parents
repair their house.
"Didn't they request reinforcements from our school? Wouldn't it be better if we didn't call for reinforcements?"
"That's a good question, but that might be false information, so we sent investigators to this place
to see how much we should send.
That's why we brought him here, the number one of the Koren School, to investigate what was appropriate. Plus, our elders came.
"The situation has calmed down, right? Does that mean the Koren School doesn't need reinforcements?"
"That might be true, but you'll find out for yourself. So, let's go investigate and see if anything strange is happening."
"Is it strange?"
"Yes. Did we come here to see for ourselves? The answer is yes. It's easier to understand the real world."
The two walked around the village of Gollan, asking for information, bit by bit, about what was happening there. Time passed.
Zoe and Louis walked into the restaurant where Sora, Seria, and Zenon had previously been.
They sat at a table and ordered food.
At another table, two children sat, staring at each other.
Seria smiled playfully, looking at Zenon's face. The person sitting opposite
"See, Zenon? My prediction was correct. This is the only restaurant here, so those with money will come here. The reason is simple. It's like cutting a watermelon in half. As long as you can see the red flesh, it's of equal value. Whether you eat it with a spoon or your hands, the taste is the same."
Zenon sighed in remorse. Seria.
"Is this why you skipped class? I thought it was urgent."
At Seren Tenshin Academy.
Chang Wing stood holding a notebook and a leaf, grinning angrily.
The table where two students should have sat, waiting intently for their lesson
disappeared as if it were empty.
Chang Wing slapped his pen away. Boom!
"Are you guys learning how to skip class? How bold! Seria thought it was a good opportunity, but he didn't think Zenon would go with him. There were already few students in the classroom. Do you think I'd let you go?
Chang Wing walked out of the classroom.
In a restaurant, somewhere.
Seria stared at the people from the Koren School with interest.
"They look like they're having fun. Should we start, Xenon? It's showtime." The strength of Seren Tenshin Academy.
Xenon looked at Seria, who was staring at the two men sitting across from him at his desk.
"What are you opening? Don't cause any trouble. Were they here to help us?"
"Just testing each other's abilities, nothing more. They wanted to test each other, didn't they? We both wanted to test each other's abilities. Tenshin and Korenen, our great rivals, meet. We need to test our skills."
"Don't be too harsh, or I'll take you instead. Can't you just relax?"
"I can't help it. I just got money from the student council president. I'm withdrawing. Oh, and I'll pay later. I'll treat you to this meal. I'll be back when I get back. I almost forgot something important."
Seria took off her apron and placed it on her chair, wrapping it in a circle.
[Hopefully we'll eat in time.]
Seria got up and went to pay.
Seria walked to the counter to pay.
The waiter prepared to calculate the bill. "Big sister... How much for two dishes?"
The waiter told Seria the price and took the money.
The two dishes were about to be served to Zenon's table.
Under Zenon's table, a ball of light was seen in the apron that Seria had left behind.
A golden ball of light had been created and left behind.
Seria was counting the money.
Seria felt a tinge of spiritual energy near Seria's chair.
Before she could look away from Seria,
Zenon could read Seria's lips.
"The...fight...begin?"
The ball of light exploded with a boom!
The table used for Zenon's food flew over Zenon's head and towards their dining table.
The people from the Koren School all took up positions, preparing for battle.
The table's target was Zenon's table. The battle was about to begin.
Seria's eyes were on the table, ready to witness the battle.
"Let me see, just how capable are the people from the Koren School? Try your best, Zenon. I'll be watching you fight." Seria smiled amiably.
But Zenon glared with resentment. "Seria?"
