Anabelle understood what it meant and put one thing in her head. It was the most probable thing that she thought would happen. She had just put in her head that Layla won.t forgive but still hoped for the opposite. She understood Layla's feeling right now and she also knew that she would feel thesame way but she couldn't just stop wanting to be pardonned by Layla
Chandler who heard what Layla said, just smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up. He just tried to understand Layla but just couldn't. He don't know what happend between them by the time they lived at Barthratz. But he still knew who Layla was and already knew she will forgive the Anabelle. If not now, later when they meet in the future and maybe a far future.
"Anabelle I appreciate that you took the resolution to become a more better person which is really nice. But you made me endure a lot of things in my childhood Anabelle and it will be hard for me to forget about all that. So I might forgive you but I still have the sercells of all that you made me endure. I accept your friendship but I just can't forget about all that transpired." Layla explained all this with a sad expression on her face which Chandler didn't fail to notice.
Anabelle on the other side was now sure that she had a link with Layla which was friendship and she was happy about that. She already knew that Layla won't forgive her so easily for all that she has done in the past. Her already accepting her friendship was already a step forward to forgiveness.
"I understand you Layla and thanks for accepting my friendship. It shows that you would finally forgive in time to come" said Anabelle with a smile
I was hard to say but Layla felt happy for some reason. She felt happy that the Anabelle she knew was now changing to that person she wanted her to be.
It was time for the next lesson and the students started heading out of the canteen. As usual, Layla, Anabelle and Chandler directed themselves to the alley with the student's lockers. They took some needs and went for the next lesson.
....
At the center of the town of Holoyd was a large tall tower. It was a skycrapper which was as tall as the Burj Khalifa tower of Dubai. It measured 850metres tall. At the top was written in bold white letters "ZOLRITCH TUCSON INCORPORATION"
This was the Zolritch's tower. They were specialised in the creation of robots, crystals mining, automobile creations, aircrafts invention with many others. This was just the headquarter where all the reports and meeting were taking place. So all the companies for these mechs were distributed all over the continent. They were in corporation with the Mendez and other associations in the world. Each of the continents had a tower where the ruler was in charge. It was a sort of their business and they were all in corporations with each other except for the inhabitants of Purgatory who were the demons.
The six other continents were having common objectifs: make the planet Erkaphilphz a more harmonious planet for a living and to fade off the demons.
They were determined to kill and eradicate their race from the planet and to do that, they created campuses and organisations which had the role to bring forth to this world powerful Kryslock Mages, Krsylock Adventurers, Kryslock Hunters, Kryslock Knights and many more.
Also, their soldiers were also receiving special trainings and were all able of manipulating their Qi. So each of their special forces were up for this task. Robots also existed, powered by crystals and this really increased the capacitiesof their armies.
At the top floor on the tower was a man seated on his seat. The man was dressed in a high class office outfit with gelled hairs from front to back. This man was nobody other than Sir Hansel Zolritch. Seated opposite to him was a man with short blonde hairs. He was also dressed in a dark office suit.
"Sir Zolritch the students presents at all the schools of this town should be transferred to the campus. You know all the students at the age of 16 should be transferred to the Comelot Academy where they should be trained properly." explained the man with a calm elegant tone
"I know that and I think we should be transferring them to the Academy in two weeks. Get the schools principals alerted for this. They should inform all the students the age of 16 and plus for the transfer. I think the other towns and countries of Xelephix should do same. Let the message pass to all the mainland." said Sir Zolritch.
"Roger that Sir Zolritch. All the countries in the mainland shall be passed the message" said the man
Each country of Xelephix had two to five campuses specialised in the training and bringing forth of strong Kryslock Mages, Knights, Hunters and Adventurers. Every children at the age of 16 are sent to these special campuses to help them develop their magical affinity and manipulate their aura and mana.
All this was done to prepare for the day another Saint War may break. This will help them have a more greater advantage and more chances to fade off the demons once and for all.
These special campuses were located always very far away from dwelling towns and were always isolated in a very vast area since they occupied a lot of space. Always not too far from forests which were the grounds for some hunting and students expeditions for some practical situations.
However, they were all on alert and knew what happened at Rubilaxai and understood it was time. It was time for the Saint War. It won't take long for these small beasts attacks turning to a war. It starts by these small attacks and will end up in a war which has always been destroying and tarnishing humanity and the grounds of Erkaphilphz.
All humans have the duty of protect this planet which the liked do much and should endeavor to protect it at the cost even if it was for his life. But humans are not all capable of that. They are egoistic and hypocritical. They only care for themselves and what else. Money and thirst of power. They have a common enemy but this don't stop them from killing the other as they want. Such pitiful thing. Sometimes the demons are fairer than humans who yearned to eradicate their race.
"Reïner, what do you think about the beasts attack at Xyverxill two weeks ago?? Do you think the demons are up for another Saint War" asked Sir Zolritch. Seems that the man opposite to him was named Reïner.
Reïner thought about the question for a while. His expression then went ugly for an instant and went back to its usual calm one. Sir Zolritch was all ear to him and was ready for anything that will leave Reïner's jaws. After quite a juncture of quietness, Reïner finally let out his thoughts about the occurrence
"I think the demons have decided to pass to the offensive. The mainland of Rubilaxai is not close to Purgatory and this attack in a kind of warning the demons are giving. It is quite disturbing to see that Demonic beasts have come to bypass the security measures put in place against Demonic beasts. All I can say is that a higher ranked demon was able to fail that of Rubilaxai and let the Demonic beasts attack. The time of peace has come to an end and we need to form as much kryslocks as we can. At this time, even the teenagers shall go at the front line" Reïner expressed his though with a lot of ease and calm. He seem to not be disturbed with the situation and just kept his calm expression as always
Sir Zolritch wondered how he did to be so serene, knowing that the worst is to come in the future. Just a matter of time before it furloughs and spread out as wind in all directions "I was sure knowing something of this envergu will happen. But I didn't know it will be so early. We have strong forces ready for the war to break but I think it will be more harder than we thought. I just have that intuition but can't explain why, but the upcoming Saint War will be very destructive and maybe humanity might not survive." explained Sir Zolritch which a serious look on his face. Reïner who was listening felt that Sir Zolritch wasn't joking around. With such a look on his face, it was hard to say if he don't know something about the Demons race.
"My son will be 16 in three days Reïner. Hope you will be there at his birthday party just to say some wishes" said Sir Zolritch with a smile on his face. Reïner was wondering if this was the same person who was having a serious look on the face seconds ago. His mood changed so fast that it was confusing for Reïner
"Oh yeah I will be there." said Reïner with a smile "It's been long that I haven't seen Chandler. My son's 16th birthday was a month ago. He too will be going for the Comelot Academy as Chandler" "Woaw, hope him and Chandler shall become best friends just as me and you" said Sir Zolritch "Yeah, let's hope that" said Reïner
