I opened my eyes, my body felt very weak and hot because the blanket covered my whole body.

I woke up my body that felt very hot and opened the blanket from my body. but there was a hand on my blanket so that the blanket felt heavy to lift, and it turned out to be Erina's hand.

it seemed like he was constantly watching me while I was unconscious, but it seemed like he was sleeping next to me.

"You are awake" said the owner of the House who had just come from the next room suddenly.

I saw the girl coming.

"where is this?"I answered with great curiosity.

"You fainted during a forest fire, and your friend said someone used fire magic and beat you unconscious, then he asked me to take you to my house. you probably fainted about four hours ago. now it's night, you better sleep" the woman answered me as she left.

now I remember what happened. maybe Erina lied to keep me out of trouble.

I tried to stand up even though I felt weak.

"It seems that Erina is still tired" I said while looking at her who was still asleep.

"kreek" I opened the door. And it turned out that this house is very spacious, besides there are several rooms and a lot of jewelry. but I smell a fishy smell around my room. Then I heard someone talking in a room. I heard the voices of one man and one woman, they seemed to be laughing at something until I finally got curious and tried to listen to her.

I approached the room covered by the door. then I heard it by pressing my ear to that door and listening to what they were talking about.

"Now you can take revenge on the little boy who interfered with your plans to become the headmaster"

"Oh yes of course, I can avenge all my revenge, I will torture him while the bad boy sleeps and kill him. What's more advantageous is that the principal's daughter is here, that way we can make her a hostage so that I can be appointed as the principal"

When I heard that the principal's daughter would be taken hostage, I remembered that Erina was the principal's daughter, Mr. Agra. and if I recall, it was I who ruined their plans when Mr. Agra was taken hostage.

I intend to leave that place. "kreek" the door opened and I also fell because I was leaning on that door and I was caught red-handed by them.

"Unfortunately we got caught, arrest him and don't let him go!!"said the woman in the room.

My hands were held and tied to the pillars of the House.

"Erina ran away!!"I said while shouting very loudly.

"Shut up," he said, kicking me in the face.

then the man ran to Erina and came back again.

"Very bad! We lost him, he escaped through the window" the man said.

"Okay, it's your fault, let's torture until you apologize" the man said.

I don't know what they want to do to punish me.

Erina kept running to look for other residents who were there but there were no residents living around the place. he saw a horse that had no owner, in the end he rode it and headed to the Royal Military place.

"I hope you are well, wait for me a little longer" he said as he rode his horse that was running very fast towards the kingdom.

"Let me go," he said, trying to get away.

"After what you did? Huh, don't dream that you have ruined our plans twice, now we choose what is the right method to torture you" he replied with a very creepy laugh.

I was taken to a very bright room and smelled very fishy, it turned out that the fishy smell was coming from the room in front of me.

"Kreek" the sound of the door being opened and me being dragged into that room. I saw that there were many heads in the big jar and legs hanging down.

"Is this murder?"I said it in my heart.

a fishy smell everywhere and a lot of blood in that place, I tried to untie the rope that was binding me.

"Shut up," he said, kicking me.

*************

Erina arrived in the Kingdom and reported what happened, and it was very coincidental that she saw her father and approached him.

Erina reports what happened to her father and actually Erina doesn't know what happened either, but Arth tells her to leave. Erina reported what she could catch in advance, then Mr. Agra ordered royal personnel or soldiers to approach the place.

"You went with dad while showing me the place" said Mr. Agra calmly and tactfully. Erina agreed. finally they left with 9 personnel.

***********

"Let go of me," I repeated over and over again.

I was lifted up and my hands were tied so that my body hung in the middle of the room.

"Now we torture in what way? Scissors, slash, or cut into small pieces, " said the man, holding a very sharp little knife in his hand.

"I wanted to rape her, it would be a pity if it was not used, especially from her face" said the woman with a very creepy smile.

"Let's tie him to a chair and then we'll cut him off one by one," said the man, carrying a chair and a rope.

then she kicked my genitals until I was unconscious.

***********

I came back to my senses tied to a chair. I can't move at all. then the criminal took a knife and stabbed it in my wrist.

"aahhhhh," I cried out in pain. then stabbed again and screamed again. they looked very happy. the room was like hell with screams of pain and loud laughter inside the room.

**************

Erina and the others approached the place indicated by Erina.

"at the front," Erina said to her father.

****************

"Agghhh" Arth was in so much pain that he finally lowered his head and fell silent.

"Why are you silent? Don't die " the man stabbed her again but Arth fell silent. But the man stabbed her continuously.

Until finally the villain took the sword with the aim of killing him.

"Well, your life ends here," the man said.

he immediately slashed his sword at Arth's neck. but the sword broke when it hit Arth's neck. they were surprised and took another sword and slashed it again, yet it was the same.

suddenly the rope that bound Arth's hand was cut and Arth held the sword.

Arth wielded a sword and turned to the two villains with eyes that turned yellow.

"You will die" said Arth uncontrollably.

then the woman took a spear and pierced it into Arth's head, but the spear was destroyed instead.

the woman was shocked and very frightened and all the ropes that bound Arth were cut and Arth stood up with a very terrible look.

the two criminals escaped but they immediately stuck to the ground like a very strong gravity. Arth radiates his magic energy on the ground.

***************

"That's dad!!"Erina told her father. They approached the place but something strange happened, the house shown by Erina shone with a big glow.

"Turn around and quickly get away from the place" Mr. Agra told his personnel.

they turned around and their horses ran very fast, the house was getting brighter and there was an explosion so strong that earthquakes were happening everywhere. the wind blew its blast, Ashes flew, until finally Mr. Agra used his protective magic to protect the personnel and his daughter.

the magic was released from his hands so that a white aura came out and surrounded them. instantly the wind blew away the waves were so big, but the protective made by Mr. Agra was very strong.

"I hope you're okay" Erina said in her heart.

That night Mr. Agra was still holding back his protective magic until it was completely safe.

"It looks like the explosion has been completed" Mr. Agra said.

Mr. Agra opened his protective magic, how surprised they were when they saw the atmosphere there. which was originally very green so be. But now it has turned into a meadow burned by an explosion.

"Everything! Out comes the magic of water" Mr Agra told all his soldiers.

they cast water magic and extinguished the fire around it, then they headed to the place where the explosion occurred to find out the cause while extinguishing the constantly burning fire.

They arrived at the place that Erina indicated.

"I think this is where he is," Erina said.

but the place has now turned into a huge hole and burned down due to the explosion that has occurred.

"It seems to be here, now look for traces and things that can be used as evidence," Mr Agra told his soldiers.

they immediately look for something that can be used as research and evidence.

"I saw someone walking in the fire there!"said one of the soldiers who reported to Mr. Agra.

"No doubt he must be Arth, because he's the only one who can withstand the heat of the fire, now show him the way," Mr Agra told the soldiers who had just reported.

They approached the place indicated by the soldier who reported there was someone. they approached him while extinguishing the fire. It turned out to be true that they found a running Arth.

"Hey!"Erina said while shouting.

then Arth turned to where Erina was and went straight to them.

"I'm glad you're okay" Arth said to Erina with a relieved expression. then Mr. Agra asked "what happened" but Arth replied.

"I don't remember anything, it's just that my neighborhood was on fire and I didn't feel any heat at all"

Mr. Agra is satisfied with Arth's answer and he already knows what happened but is still in his research.

"It looks like someone wanted to kill you with explosion magic, but with your magic you were able to survive the heat of the fire and the effects of the explosion" Mr. Agra said with the conclusion of his research.

Soon reinforcements arrived and helped to extinguish the fire.

************

"Now you go home," Mr. Agra said to me and Erina and we were escorted by soldiers in horse-drawn carriages.

"What actually happened? When you told me to run?"Erina said to me with a curious face.

I explained it in detail. then I told him about those who want to take the post of his father Erina. Erina became sad to hear that, but I tried to cheer her up with my jokes.

"Don't worry! they've been burned by the fire" I said to comfort him.

Erina laughed even the soldiers escorting us, she also laughed out loud.

It was a very tiring night and could also be an experience for myself.

In the end we arrived home and were immediately greeted by Erina's mother who was so worried, it could be seen from the look on her face.

I went to my room while Erina went to the bathroom. Erina told me to go to bed immediately because tomorrow is the Merit Test. but I still want to know about the explosion and the sword that I haven't mentioned.

I tried to pull out my sword but my efforts were unsuccessful. until I finally named my sword Light Blood without even taking it out.

That night I told my story in my notebook. I wrote down everything I remembered, and tried to sum it up.

"Krekk" the door opens.

"Now it's your turn to take a shower" said Erina who had just opened the door to my room.

I went to the bathroom to refresh my body.

After bathing, I was given a nightgown by Erina's mother and immediately put it on.

"Arth" Erina called me from her room.

I approached him, but he approached me.

"Are you ready for the aptitude test tomorrow? "It's been a long day," Erina told me.

"Ready or not, you have to take the exam" I replied.

then Erina nodded with a sign of agreement.

"Okay now let's go to bed, maybe tomorrow the group election" Erina said as she went to her room. and I also went to my room.

I lay in my bed reading books on magic and history. I read seriously to quickly understand witchcraft, and I also read history because I was still curious about the DARK Flame, I kept reading until I finally fell asleep very soundly.
