In the morning.
Haru rushes to the room where Kuro was, to call him,"Kuro we are leaving
soon. Are you ready?"
"Yes I am coming Rumi--Haru.” Replied
Kuro. Haru went out after which Kuro came out Dressed in black.
As he came out Clara stared at him in surprise, and then turned to Haru and said,"Look at Kuro, he dressed himself perfectly, you should learn a thing or two from Kuro, shouldn’t you?” Haru turns to another direction, dodging the question.
"Come inside the carriage we are
leaving.” shouted Wills from inside the carriage.
Kuro thanked Laya, the old herb store
owner’s wife again and went to the carriage.
At night
In a forest, the family along with Kuro was sitting near the bone fire, while the guards took turns to keep watch. The sky was calm with stars visible like an endless stream; the crescent moon was shinning bright.
"There seems to be no magic beasts in the area, Wills.” said the leader of the guards.
"Thanks for guarding us on the way, Feril. You haven’t been fully acquainted with Kuro yet, right? You should join us and get to know each other better, right Kuro?” said Wills to Feril, turning to Kuro in the last two words.
"I am Feril Tinsburg, a swordsman. I was Wills' classmate back in the knight Academy in the capital. If you want to learn swordsman-ship, I can teach you for the next few days before we reach the capital. Let’s start tomorrow.” Feril introducing himself and making Kuro his student without even hearing a reply.
"Still searching for a student Feril. (After thinking for a while) It’s not really a bad idea, Kuro; I think you should learn some basics. In the Magic Academy you will be taught in swordsmanship too, so learning something about it before entering school should be better. How about it?” asked Wills to Kuro.
"I will learn it.”, replied Kuro in a happy manner.
"Okay, tomorrow morning your training will start. We will reach in about 10 days so I will beat the basics in your head you have to learn them afterwards. ” said Feril excitedly.
Then after a long laugh they went to sleep.
Kuro's pov: The next day in the morning Feril-san woke me up for training. We used wooden swords; he taught me the basics and told me to practice every day because we didn’t have enough time. Haru joined on the second day. We passed through many towns and Clara-san even bought me clothes (actually a lot of them). Then on the tenth day we arrived at the capital.The Capital
On a clear day the four carriages
made it to the capital. There were dozens of other carriages coming and going.
They went to a house in the capital and the family along with Kuro and the
other guards came out and they were greeted by a normal sized man with pale
skin. "He is my friend, Acil Bertner. We will be staying in his house
while we are here.” pointing to a huge mansion in the second sentence. "Wills,
at least let me introduce myself.” sighed Acil at Wills' excitement. "As Wills
said, you shall be staying here in your days in the capital. You should all
rest first since it was a long journey,’ said Acil while leading them to the
mansion.
"Wills, I shall head back to the village. We will unload the
goods here.” said Feril as he started unloading the goods. "I will help
too. You guys go ahead." ,Said Wills while going to help them.
At night Kuro's pov : In the afternoon Feril-san
left and Acil-san told us about the various places of the mansion ,me and Haru
got the same room.
The Magic school seems to be near the palace, so we will be
going there tomorrow. I seem to have become pretty good friends with Haru so
the Academy shouldn't feel boring. And Haru's kind of hilarious and also a
trouble maker so Clara-san even asked me to make sure Haru is not doing
anything funny in the Academy.
Author's pov: Then while Kuro was
lying in bed thinking about all the stuff that happened during the day, Haru
came into the room to say dinner was ready. They both came down (by the way
their room is on the first floor). Haru's family and Kuro introduced themselves
in the dinner as they talked after which Acil introduced his family as well;”She
is my wife Serele Bertner. And she is my daughter Lea Bertner (addressing the
five year old girl in his wife's arms, also with brown hair). They talked a
while after they finished eating and went to bed.
The
next day, at noon.
“5 years?!!”
shouted Haru with a surprised and a disappointed look as they were at the
admission office of the Magic Academy.
