As the Two couple finished their conversation, Astora decided to leave Rizette for her meeting and walked around the Academy. The Two students, Titus and Alina saw him wandering.
"Isn't that?"
"Astora the Untrue Mage?"
Many students and soldiers looked at him and all their whispers can be heard like a storm. Astora was embarrassed and covers his eyes.
[Godammit, I should've said that woman about my relationship.]
Astora continue walking while being watched. As he was walking he saw the library of the Academy and enter. He looked around the room realizing it isn't messy and decided to check the books.
"Huh..they even made section for magicians."
He saw many shelves with their own label "Fairy tales", "History", "Elemental", "Esoteric", "Divine", "Legends", "Techniques", and "Creatures".
["Elemental" for Water, Earth,Wind,Fire, and Electro. "Esoteric" something scientific like time, reality or what undiscovered things in this world. And "Divine" Godly magic either was found in the past or the "Watchers" or "Divine" as what in others called, was their powers.]
"Magic lance is a divine yet common magic, everyone can use it."
Astora went to the Elemental and looked through the shelves looking for books to read. As he looks at the books, one caught his eye.
"Yeti's power?"
He grab the book and read it's contents. He saw many interesting magic spells and one caught his eye.
["Yeti Fortress" creates a wall that is difficult to melt and break. Used for protection against large projectiles.]
Astora was fascinated with the contents. He walked away with the book in his hand and exited the library.
"He's gonna practice that spell is he?"
"Perhaps."
The two students Titus and Alina eavesdrop Astora and followed him as he exited the library. They kept their distance apart from Astora as he kept walking. Later they reached the training grounds and watched Astora as he set the book on the ground.
"Alright."
Astora raised and open his hand as a cold breeze entered his body. Astora closed his hand and put down as if he was pulling something, a wall made of ice appeared beneath the ground shocking everyone around him. He looked at his hands realizing he still has burden to carry.
"I think I should join her."
Meanwhile....
"So you're saying that the Haratake clan's Third son lead the attack?"
"Yes, the youngest sent me a warning letter too."
Galian held a meeting with the Knights of The Holy Moraine. The Knights Julian, Loren, Rizette, Alicia, Grant and Tulura, sat in their respective chairs while Galian placed a envelope in a long table. The Knights were skeptical and suspicious of the letter whether it was a trap or not.
"The son wants us to meet with him."
"Blasphemous, Are you sure this isn't a trap Galian?"
"That is what we aren't sure yet Loren."
"We can't ask the king for an army, were in a middle of the war with the Zhang."
"Rizette's right, even with our strength together, we don't even know what more of the clan has, monsters were already just an example."
"Well, we could just ask the man to come to us."
"The King would probably ask us to if he can join, that would be our main problem, because one of our suspicion is this being a trap."
The Knights were furious whether to accept the invitation or refuse it. The door opened and everyone looked at it, Astora and a man in a yoroi with a swole left cheek was outside the room.
"Excuse me."
A man with the same armor the man has with different aspects entered the room, he kneel and bow. The Knights were shocked at the man and stand up from their chairs.
"I am Akio Haratake, the youngest son of Kenji Haratake."
The man beside Astora also entered the room and did the same as Akio.
"My Brother is going on a rampage, killing any villages or city even thought of taking over a kingdom...."
"Please Sir and Madam Knights, Please aid us."
"Should've said that before you decide to scream at those kids."
Astora stretch his arms while having a angry expression. The Knights were baffled of the situation and were hesitating.
"Rizette..and Knights too, I ask for you permission, allow me to join this diplomatic approach."
