The battle has ended. All the summons that Theodred made begin to vanish. "Well, I didn't expect that." Ayla says as she gets back up on her feet. I look at her hand and her body slowly begins to disintegrate as she gives a smirk towards me. "Become strong kid, you have the potential to be strong. Don't disappoint me." Ayla says to me as her body slowly starts vanishing piece by piece. "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! NOT AGAIN!" Paij and the other dark elves begin to disintegrate as well.
Everyone looks confused by what just happened. "The fuck?! You are kidding me right? Those were actually Elves bought back to life? I call bullshit on that!" Cyan says. "What you figured that now? Why do you think they weren't taking any physical damage since the beginning?" Jian asks Cyan. "Tsch! They were living on mana given by that king..." Ilora says. "And here I thought I was weak, tsch!" Ilora says and begins to leave the cave. "Big sis Ilora..." Cyan seems to like Ilora. Hmm...Interesting... Back then, Mr. Daniel said to me that those two were called the water twins. I guess I can understand if Ilora's feelings are mutual towards Cyan.
"There doesn't seem to be any other group." Bruno arrives after investigating the whole cave. "Huh?! What are you doing here?" He asks me after looking at me. He doesn't seem happy to see me here. "I am sorry, I was the one who asked Jian to take care of my vice-captain." Mr. Daniel says to Bruno before Jian or I could say anything. I try to get up holding my stomach but as soon as I get up, I stumble and was about to fall but Mr. Daniel catches me. "Easy kid, you have done enough for today." We walk away from Jian and Bruno.
"You should have just swatted the kid away, Jian." Bruno says to Jian. Jian smiles. "Your smiling? What sorcery?! The man who never smiles, smiled after so many years?!" Bruno asks Jian. "I like that kid, I don't know...It's something about his aura that makes people feel safe around him, reminds me of someone whom I once looked upon." Jian says with a smile. "Well, we should get out of here, don't you agree?" Jian says to Bruno whose eyes are widen and begins to make his way out of the cave.
I see Rina standing right in front of me and Mr. Daniel. "Hey...I kept my promise." I give her a grin. "What promise?" Mr. Daniel asks. "I promised Rina to free her at any cost." I reply. Mr. Daniel smacks my head. "You do realise, I was the one to complete that promise!" Mr. Daniel says to me. "THAT HURTS!" I scream. "You still got energy left kid? That's good, you should walk out of this cave alone then!" Mr. Daniel says to me. "WHAT?! DO YOU THINK I CAN WALK OUT OF THIS CAVE ALL ALONE WITH THESE INJURIES?!" I ask. "You were fighting all alone with those injuries." Mr. Daniel replies.
*Sniff* *Sniff*
Both me and Mr. Daniel look at Rina whose eyes have tears in them. "Thank...You...Both of you...I am so grateful to both of you." Rina begins to disintegrate. "Hey, hey, hey...WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" I ask. "I used up last of mana...To thank you both...I will never forget what you did for me...To free me..." Rina says to me. "Master...Can I hug you...?" As soon as she touched me, she disintegrated. That is what she meant by...Freeing her from his shackles huh? I look up towards the dungeon's ceiling.
"Your not going to cry kid?" Mr. Daniel asks me. I smile. "I would have if I had any way to feel anything." I say as me and Mr. Daniel walked out of the cave together. "She was a kind person." I say. "Hmm?" Mr. Daniel looks at me. "I wonder why we treat demi-humans like lowly creatures..." I say. "I wonder that myself." Mr. Daniel says as me and Mr. Daniel come out of the dungeon. "Hey, there's captain Tamie." I say when I look at her sitting outside with Sean.
We both make our way towards Tamie and Sean. "Mission successful huh?" Sean asks. I grin and give a thumbs up. "I am sorry...I couldn't save you back then..." Tamie says to me. "Nah, don't worry, you couldn't have done anything for me." I say with a smile. "If only I was more stronger then now...I could have-" Mr. Daniel interrupts. "Then get strong!" Mr. Daniel says. "Huh?!" Tamie looks confused. "What you want the kids to save you in future?" Tamie asks. "Well..." Tamie looks down and smiles. "Alright I will!" She says with a determined look.
"Oh? Captain Tamie, how did you make it out of the cave?" I ask. "It's because all the squads arrived in time and Bruno got Tamie out of there." Mr. Daniel replies. "I see..." I say. "I am sorry, teacher, I wasn't of any use." Luis looks at Mr. Daniel with disappointment on his face. Mr. Daniel sighs. "Just get over it, you are still one of our strongest students. Just concentrate on the future." Mr. Daniel says. "Yes teacher..." Luis says. I look to my left as Ilora arrives. "Let's get you to a medic." Wait? Is she really helping me? She takes me off of Mr. Daniel and holds me. "Enjoy you two." Mr. Daniel says with a big grin. What's he thinking now?
"His quite a bright student, isn't he? No wonder you made him a vice-captain, after all he has such a great potential." Tamie says to Mr. Daniel. "To be honest...I made him a vice-captain because I don't see potential in him but rather...I feel like since he has arrived...There have been changes and huge one's at that." Mr. Daniel says. "Kid's got a potential but more then that the kid's got a heart." Mr. Daniel continues with smile. "Your right." Tamie chuckles.
At the end of the day, there were tragedies, Tamie lost her close squad-mates, I met a girl...A demi-human...She was the kindest demi-human I had ever met. Well, I never met a demi-humans but she was completely different then what the knights portray them to be. I wish...She wasn't an undead so I could have known her better...Still, it's great to know her...Rina...
I was taken to the hospital for treatment. It took me about a week to get back on my feet comfortably. The doctors said that my recover was abnormally fast and I was ready to leave the hospital. Ilora, Casey, Luis, Mr. Daniel and surprisingly Cyan and Sean arrived to pick me up but I didn't know...There was an even bigger surprise waiting for me.
"If it isn't you, Henry." A girl with black pony-tail, huge black pupils and a novice knights uniform stood in front of me. "Hmm? Who are you?"
