The Beginning of an Adventure

Luanvin was pensive in his seat, thinking about many things, including the problem of the western forest that needed his help.

Twisting the small glass filled with water as sweet as honey, only the two were left there. The ranger of the western forest has been asked to leave. He would send his disciples tomorrow to help reduce the trouble that befell him.

Alhena stood motionless on the right side in front of her. Watching Luanvin's every move as if he was thinking about something.

"Who am I actually?" he thought with a sigh. "Why did I immediately become a school and the leader of this forbidden school? Who sent me? I... replace who?"

Silence, no voice answered the question from his head. Still sitting cross-legged on the round couch in silk, Luanvin ignored the existence of Alhena, who was also daydreaming of many things in his mind.

"The sky kingdom of Arkawisesar. What's that? An empire? But whose?"

Thinking back, Luanvin touched his chest where the strangely lined white pin had shot. A beam of light shone from there, making his body glow like a pearl.

Alhena looked at him with a slight smile, the body of the College was glowing even until they looked at each other.

"You saw it?"

Alhena nodded deeply, then lowered her head politely. "I saw it, Headmaster. The headmaster's body glowed like a pearl."

Lanvin took a breath, then looked at the window that displayed the side yard, which was a flower garden as well as a place where the embers planted herbal medicines.

"Who am I?"

Guard!

Luanvin looked at Alhena in shock. A moment later, the girl grabbed her sword and got off the couch. Alhena opened the door for her, then came out and watched the sound of the explosion coming.

"What is this?!"

Alhena asked in a booming, authoritative voice, stopping some of their college students who were about to attack a jet-black stature.

"Hhhhhh, there seems to be the head of the school. How long have you been hiding it from Queen Madeira?" The heavy, hoarse, and rough voice of a jet-black man's voice. His eyes were sharp, staring at the face of Lanvin, who was standing on the veranda.

Luanvin was silent, looking at him casually. The look in his eyes that was calm but looked energetic made the jet-black human figure smile.

"You're going to bring our Headmaster before the Queen of Madeira? Tch, dream! Step over my corpse before you touch it!"

Alhena runs towards him, pulling a strangely engraved blue sword into the sky. For a moment, Alhena was in front of the figure with the tip of the sword pointed at her forehead and her body position hovered.

Fatekee, the jet black figure's name. He brushed away Alhena's sword but didn't budge; instead, his hand broke and turned into himself and attacked Alhena instantly.

Alhena had expected that. She immediately spun in the air and slammed a blue light at Fateke's duplicate, instantly bouncing a few meters away. It didn't take long. His college students, who had high supernatural knowledge, helped Alhena solve the problem. They scattered, attacking the fake Fateke that had risen again from the fall.

Fierce movements escape from Fatin's mouth, and he emits a black light that directly attacks Alhena. The Great Commander of the Forbidden College, in one move, immediately dodged. She spun his sword, then created a shield to block the black light rushing towards his body.

Fateke did not stay silent, and he joined in attacking Alhena, who began to split her concentration and strength but was still able to balance the blow of the sword and also her magic.

Luanvin remained unmoved, staring at the battle before him with a calculating gaze. Alhena's fast-moving movement to and fro made her see the Commander-in-Chief just like a white shadow that had disappeared.

He didn't know what the purpose of Fateke's attack was. The female college students lined up neatly on the right and left as if on guard. In their hands, they held white swords with lines bearing the names of their colleagues.

"Who is that black figure?"

Calm yet authoritative Luanvin's voice rang out. He is unique, never nervous or anxious in dealing with any situation. Even the style of his voice when he spoke sounded elegant, typical of the sons of great empires who had admirable images.

"He is the regent of the Kingdom of the north of the wind, Headmaster. Every full moon, he is ordered to look for the men that Her Majesty Madeira Frenaskus wants... The weak young men he will make as a gratification of lust before finally, he will kill him by eating the girl's body raw."

Lanvin raised his hand to ask the girl to be quiet. He looked at the faces of his college students, who were starting to get overwhelmed by the fake Fateke that was starting to go crazy. As the fake Fateke prepared to make waves from the ground of the courtyard he was lifting, Luanvin flicked a small glowing orb from his finger.

The fake Fateke bounced and hit the boundary wall of the forbidden college grounds. The magnitude of the effect of the small flick that Luanvin gave seemed to be able to burn his body.

In an instant, the fake had shot upwards, spreading his arms wide, before he finally prepared to let out a huge black light that clouded the surroundings of the hermitage. The wind began to blow hard, accompanied by lightning flashes from the sky to the courtyard of the veranda where Luanvin was standing.

Pulling the sword slightly, the light from the silver sword shot out swiftly, destroying the black light that the fake Fateke emitted. His body bounced again, and before he could touch the earth, Luanvin had already made finger movements that seemed to grab the fake Fateke's body and slam him against the steep wall on the left side of the College.

Guard!

The sound of the fake Fateke's body shattering resounded around them. Luanvin closed his nearly opened sword again and stared at the fight between Alhena and the real Fake. The place he was standing still didn't move an inch, even though he had destroyed one Fateke figure whose strength was almost the same as the original Fateke.

"Fateke!"

The jet-black male figure's movements halted when a soft, calm, elegant, and dignified voice called out to him. He looked at Luanvin, the face of the Head of the Forbidden College leader, who looked handsome and charismatic. Exactly a pearl juxtaposed with the moon. The leader is suitable to be made the next sacrifice by the King, who always feels thirsty for fresh meat, like a wild animal.

"What do you want here? Meet me?"

Fateke stared at him blankly, appraising a graceful, well-educated woman who had managed to destroy the duplicate.

Alhena also stared at Fateke's savage-looking movements. She could see that Fateke was looking at his Headmaster with lust and desire.

"Of course. My lord Madeira intends to marry you, President of the College. He wants you to be his man, his life partner."

Luanvin's lips curled into a crook, staring at Fateke's face, which looked like a beast, to be precise. Raising his sword crossed in front of his face, Lanvin brushed it with an elegant motion and a calm expression on his face.

"There's no need to use violence if your intentions are good," he said with a faint smile. "Come with your best vehicle tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. Pick me up, and then I will gladly come to your Queen's kingdom."

As if getting a heavenly breeze, Fateke smiled happily. He looked at Alhena with a smirk full of contempt.

"You see, the Headmaster you protected has low self-esteem. He even automatically agreed to come and satisfy our Queen. What are you proud of him for?"

Alhena's eyes widened. She looked at Luanvin's face, who gave a short gesture to calm her down. If it weren't the Headmaster himself who requested it, then she wouldn't hesitate to continue the fight.

"Go home, Fateke. Tell this to your Queen. I want him to welcome me well, fully prepared, and also full of honor. I'm waiting for an invitation from you."

Fateke laughed, then spun around and disappeared from the college grounds. After he died, Luanvin only needed to turn his hands beside his thighs, and the pages that had been torn apart were back to their original state.

"Come back as before. Elena, come with me."

Luanvin turned around and strolled towards the room where he meditated—leaving hundreds of college students bowing respectfully.

"What will the Principal of the College do? Is the Headmaster coming to the northern cardinal kingdom?" Alhena asked as they walked towards Luanvin's private room.

"Yeah, it looks like my adventure has already begun." Luanvin took a deep breath. "You must know who I am, Alhena. If you trust me, then come with me to solve those problems. If not, take good care of this forbidden school as before."

Alhena was silent, following the steps of the Headmaster, who started towards the door.

"College President," he said quietly, stopping Luanvin, who had just entered the room, in his tracks.

Without turning to look at the young man, Livin already heard his voice again.

"The Lord of Heaven's Rishi ordered me to stay by the side of the Headmaster at any time."

Lanvin smiled, still not looking at Lanvin. "If the Principal of the College is about to embark on a journey. Allow me to prepare everything. I will accompany the Chair of the College wherever the Chair of the College goes. I'm sorry."

***

Luanvin rubbed the stone slab before him until a dark blue lute with sparkling white strings rose above it. Positioning his slender fingers over both sides of the lute, Luanvin paused for a moment to focus his senses.

He slowly pulled the lute strings with the middle finger of his right hand. Slowly but loudly, the buzz seemed to shake the entire private room.

Luanvin was silent, staring at the light waves flashed from his freshly plucked lute. The bluish-white waves are like smooth, thorough waves, scattering around them. In an instant, objects such as golden glasses, teapots, small tables, chairs, and other small objects rose. It floats on the surface and moves with the light waves around it.

Plucking the left-hand string again, the objects slowly stomped down, sprinting back to their original place.

"The first string, to lift what object you want to lift." A voice sounded as if telling.

Luanvin was silent, calm in a cross-legged sitting position. His face was directed forward, staring straight at the wall on which several lanterns were plastered.

"Pluck the second string from the right, and you will be able to destroy any light as strong as it can."

After the voice disappeared, Lanvin caught a sizeable yellow light sparkling from the wall he saw. The light shot out in full force, causing Luanvin to pause and move his fingers before finally plucking the strings of the second-row harp, precisely one meter away from hitting him.

Guard! Boom!

Holder, the booming sound sank into the eardrums. Lanvin is still silent, smiling slightly when he realizes his lute is not an ordinary harp.

"Each string has its level of strength. From top to bottom, the power will be greater and greater and invincible." The voice told, but Luanvin remained silent.

"My grandson... You will become a strong and unrivaled woman. Your life is full of twists and turns, and you will face many things. Difficulties and the evil of people who increasingly want to try out your magic knowledge and the fame of your name and magic."

"My advice, stay calm and think clearly. You will start your journey, and you will start your adventure. The celestial kingdom of Arkawisesar awaits you, awaits your arrival. As you go along, you will find it and also know who you are."

"Should I look for him?” His voice was flat, but his positive aura and curiosity were evident in his tone.

"The kingdom that was yours, the legacy of your grandparents, ended up in your father's hands and is now ruled by your cruel and arrogant Uncle. The life of the people of the sky Arkawisesar depends on you, and they are waiting for you. Find that Kingdom to understand what has happened to your people and your kingdom. You are destined to be an inheritor of the College, so follow your destiny."

"During the journey, Alhena will be your commander and personal bodyguard. He will never betray. If later you get a slander that is directed at him, never believe it. Investigate first, then act. You will understand what happened. Go, begin your adventure of eradicating evil from the northern kingdom of the compass, Headmaster."
