"Now... I will talk about the incident a week ago..." Solean said with a serious tone of voice.
Both Noir and Polpo start to worried on what's about to happen next. Sheila just nods as she stare at Solean.
"So... What do you want to talk about? The All-Eyes cult? Or something more specific?"
"Hmm... You have a bold sense Ms. Sheila.. But yes, I want to talk about something specific. It's that Bellarus guy..."
"I see... Well what did you got from him?"
"It's quite special honestly.. That Bellarus said that this was a plan made 2 years ago. Although we are still unsure why they plan to attack us or what's the objective is... That Bellarus guy is also unsure of it... He was commanded to attack Kortopia and that's it... While that mask guy.. He is still unconscious."
"Hmm... So their objective is still uncertain at this moment... But for them to prepare a Roun barrier especially made for you is... Odd..."
"Well that's to be expected, I'm sure they realize I'm their biggest threat... For that Roun barrier... It seems the 13th Apostle are the one who made it. Though it's just my guess since I heard that one of the apostle of All-Eyes cult is a mad professor that made a lot of magic items..."
"I see... It is indeed odd that they didn't even send one of the 13th Apostle knowing that you are in Kortopia..."
"It is odd... But I feel like the reason they didn't send an Apostle is because they didn't want to lose too much army..."
"But then again... Why would they send those 2, is it really just to destroy Kortopia?" Sheila ask confusedly.
"Heh... Even I'm unsure of that... But what i know is that Razor magic kid... He.. Is someone I know..."
"What?!" Sheila said with a shock tone of voice.
"Yes... His name is Rowan Crazor... He is one of the people that was originally born in Kortopia... After he was a teen, he ask me to train him... But I refuse... And now he ended up with the cult... I feel like some of this.. Are my fault..."
"... Well... That's unexpected yes... But maybe the reason he joined is not because he was rejected by you..." Sheila said as she tries to make Solean feeling of guilt disappear.
The 2 kids sitting beside Sheila just sweating and not saying a single thing. Both Noir and Polpo just look at one another not knowing what to say. Solean began to stare at both Noir and Polpo, as both start to get nervous.
"Anyway... How did you two ended up fighting Madnel Bellarus? I want to know in detail..."
Both Noir and Polpo is silent for a moment, as Noir start to raise his hand and explain why he ended up finding and fighting Madnel.
"Well.. I use my ether wave and detect his ether... I didn't think it through... So me and Polpo try to find where it's at... And..."
Sheila sigh off "So that's what happen.. You really should learn how to get away from trouble kid."
"Yes mam..."
"Hmmm, I see..."
Solean fold his hand looking at Noir for a moment. Solean stands up from his chair as he turn around to look outside the window. Noir became more and more anxious not knowing what will happen next. As Polpo ears perk up, he jump off his chair.
"It's my fault! I am the one that told Noir to check it out.. Noir has nothing to do with this!" Polpo said bravely.
Sheila is quite surprise at what Polpo is doing right now. Then slowly Solean turn around to look at Polpo and slam his desk. Solean eyes start to glow dark red as he stare at Polpo menacingly. Polpo sweats profusely as his ear start to goes down like a cub in fear. Solean reach his hand out to Polpo, as Polpo close his eyes in fear. But unexpectedly, Solean just pats Polpo in the head as he smiles at Polpo.
"Well well well, you're a brave one ain't ya! Hahah!"
"..." Polpo tilt his head in confusion.
"Both of you are not in trouble, I was just asking how you ended up with that mad man Hahah!"
"W-we are... Not?" Noir asked nervously.
Solean stare at Noir in his eyes, as he goes around his table to be face to face with Noir and Polpo.
"Why would you kids be in trouble? You all did amazing holding out that guy Haha! I'm sure that mad man would breach the wall easily if no one were there to stop him!" Solean said happily with a bright smile in his face.
Solean pats both Noir and Polpo on the head as he smile happily looking at them. Solean then stand up and goes back to look on the window.
"Anyway, that shoulde be al-"
"Ahem" Sheila cough to stop Solean sentence.
"Hmm? Oh yes, I forgot about that hahah"
Solean laugh it off and proceed to take a seat again. Solean tries to find some paper sheet on his desk. Every second pass by Sheila face seems to get angrier and angrier. Solean sweats profusely as he finally find what he was looking for.
"Ah! Yes, here it is. Noir! Although we had a good time these past 2 years, I have to say that I cannot teach you anymore.."
"What? Why?!" Noir asked hastily as he unconsciously stand up from his chair.
"Well... There is a lot to do for me. I have to report this to the capital, calmed down the whole town... And deal with these All-Eyes cult... So I won't have time for you from now on...
"Oh..." Noir said sadly as he looks down to the ground with sad eyes.
Sheila pat Noir head as she stand up "Don't worry kid! We have another destination to go!"
"Wait what?!"
"Well, since your teacher here can't provide time anymore.. We will go to the capital! To Astantla, the capital of Aslanta continent!"
"WHAT!?" Noir shouted as he is shock on what he just heard.
"Yep, we should prepare our stuff to depart from Kortopia!"
"Ah I see.." Noir said happily but stopped after he looks at Polpo, he seems to make a sad face as his bear ears are down.
Noir goes over to Polpo and reach out his hand to him. Polpo looks up to see Noir with a sad smile.
"Looks like I will be away from this town..."
Polpo began to tear up as he hug Noir tightly "Please don't leave me! I don't have friends here! Everyone hated me! But you... you.."
Polpo words made Noir also tear up and cry, as Sheila shed a tear on her eyes. Solean just fold his hand and smile at them, then he proceed to glare at Sheila. The stare is quite intense that it feels like Solean is trying to force Sheila to do something.
"Dammit! Fine... You can go with us Polpo... Damn kids..."
Both Noir and Polpo smile happily as both of them start to hug even tighter and jump around like a kid they are. Sheila just facepalm and sigh off looking at these chaotic kids. Noir and Polpo run around in circle happily knowing they won't be saperated. Solean just smile and laugh quietly looking at the scene.
"Alright kids time to go! Use those happy energy to pack your stuff up alright!"
The door began to creak open as it seems Zeonyl is waiting outside like a bodyguard. Both Noir and Polpo just began to run along the hallway happily.
"Careful with your steps kids!"
Sheila start to walk up to them, but Solean cough up. It seems there is something else Solean yet to said. Solean just smiles and said it quietly to Sheila. As Sheila face began to drop from happiness to being worried. Solean just wave his hand as Zeonyl began to close the door on her.
"Please go on with your day Ms. Rakshana..."
"..." Sheila face starts to sweat, as she turn around to walk up to Noir and Polpo.
Noir start to pack his stuff up in the Black Bear Inn room helped by Polpo. Sheila pack her own stuff, and she is done in just a view minutes as she began to wait on the outside of Black Bear Inn. Noir and Polpo start to pick Noir stuff downstairs to see the Bearby family is waiting for them.
"Thank you for your hospitality for the past 2 years Mr. Bearby, Mrs. Bearby!"
Noir and Polpo goes closer to the bearby family to see Benny stood still beside his father and mother. Benny stares at Noir and Polpo as he began to tear up.
"So... This is... Goodbye.. Huh?" Benny said with sadness, as both Noir and Polpo just stood still not knowing what to answer.
Benny got closer to the both of them as he reach out for a handshake to Noir and Polpo...
