《Anchore (Re-Write in Progress)》Chapter 8 Bullies and the way of Power
Advertisement
Morning, in the peaceful time, a singing bird and the warm sun make the morning is the best. But in this situation, a person in gloomy atmosphere can be seen walking with his shoulder dropped. He look so worn out and the black circle can be seen below his eyes.
'Haah... what the heck with Andini, it's alright if want to search something. But she didn't let me sleep at all.... Wait, what am saying. If someone hear it a rumor will appear. Sigh, it's because I am too sleepy so I said nonsense...' In his heart Arya complained.
The cause of Arya state is because Andini interested in the Ogres strange behaviour, coming back with another piled book and shaking feet. They started to check the books.
Between their search, Arya ask her about the function of Anchore. With a smile she tell him the common knowledge; like PvP mode, when someone challenged another person in real world they connect the Anchore online and the mini arena will be created.
They aren't send to Gracia Continent, but make a distortion and create another location on their place. A barrier will set around them to not harm the looker. Arya try to ask her how, but with smile she grab his left hand and do something. After a small 'Cliink' sound she happily withdraw her hand. With a cold sweat Arya aking what she do, which she is replied with eyes that saying 'I wonder~'.
After she give him a information she made Arya to search more book without letting him to close his eyes. With some luck, he find that if a Ogre attacking in group more than 3, the cause was they following their leader. So someone or something may controled them.
With a smile, she finally let Arya go and searching another herself.
'What with her, she can search many books all night without sleep? Urgh, I really need to go back now. At this rate I will collapse here in no-'
Before he finish his word, everything started to fade and he lost his consciousness.
Before long he feels something soft in the back of his head. When his nose picked the parfume smell, he started to wonder.
'Hm, what is this smell, I think I familiar about this...' Arya try to open his eyes, but the light made Arya only see a blured figure.
''Ah, good morning Arya-kun..''
''..Beautiful.''
''!!!''
A girl with long black hair and blue eyes, at first he looked at her in daze and muttered in low voice, but after she greet him, he hurriedly stand and make a distance with a roll so she didn't saw his blushing face.
''I-I-I am sorry Yukiha-san...'' Arya keep apologizing which Yukiha see as cute and she smiled.
''Fufufu...it's fine, so why did you sleep in this place?''
Remembering his shameful behaviour, Arya laughed to hide his embarrassment.
''Hahah... I just exhausted while reading all night, but why did Yukiha-san here?''
''Ara, that's bad your health you know. I came here to bring back some borrowed book to library and see a person sleeping here. When I try to call him he keep a sleeping. So I give you a lap before your head hurt.''
''...Is that so? Erm, how long did I sleep?''
Hearing Arya, Yukiha showed three finger and said ''30 minute.''
'30 minute...!? I let her see my sleeping face..!? I hope I didn't drooling...'
''Uuu... Sorry to trouble you Yukiha-san.''
''Un, it's fine.. saa, I must bring the books back.. see you Arya-kun.''

''Y,yes.''
When Yukiha stands up to leave, Arya sighed and started to move as well. With various mind in his head Arya arriving at the school backyard to find a shortcut only to find a familliar figure surrounded by 4 people and frowned.
'What with this situation? This is still morning you know...?'
''Hey, little boy. Come on, just give us some 'Point'.''
''Yeah, look we are so poor. Just give us few of them, or all of them is good too. Gyahaha...''
''Gahahah... that's true, you are still a child, it's no good if you holding to much...''
''Ghahahaha.....''
Arya standing not far behind them, so heard their unreasonable word and shake his head.
'What are you, a bandit? Hm, aren't they the one that stealing Edward place in the line before. Oh!' When Arya observed them, he found that Charles really surrounded and with pale face rushed while shouting.
''Hey, Charles what are you doing there!''
''Ah, Arya...''
when Charles heard Arya call, he look at Arya direction with teared eyes. Seeing it Arya rushed past them while pushed the boy infront of him. Arya standing still while covering Charles behind him.
''Tsk... what areyou doing!?'' A tall blond boy glared at Arya.
''Look, is he try to become a hero?'' A tall boy with spiky brown hair mocked Arya.
''Just go away little one..'' someone with bald head speaking with arrogance.
''Little one? Ghahaha... what a good nickname..'' another tall boy with short blond hair laughed while pointing at Arya.
''What? We just want to 'Ask' our friends.'' The boy that glared at Arya said with a sneer while looking at his friends behind him.
''Gyahaha... you are right.'' the short blond laughed again.
Nodding his head, the bald said ''It's just peaceful conversation between us you know!''
''That's true!'' The spiky hair said and they laughed togather.
''Did you that weak so you cannot find a good mission, and just trying to rob your 'friends'?'' Arya sneered at them while restraining his anger.
''Hey boy, watch your mouth.'' The Boy with blond hair that look like a leader snapped.
''Heh, do you think we are weak!?'' The spiky hair shouted.
''Let's me beat you.'' the short blond fold up his sleeve while looking to rush.
But, not like his friends the bald stopped the short blond and said ''No, we can't. The teacher will come if all of us have fight here.''
Heard it, Arya surprised and thought 'Heh, they have a quite smart person there..?'
''Tsk, let's leave.. you, don't think that it's done.'' The leader keep his hatred and turned to leave while threaten Arya with his word.
When they disappeared from his vision, Arya sighed and turned toward Charles behind him.
"Are you alright, Charles?"
''Yes thank you.''
When Arya ask him, he told Arya that 4 of them was his classmates, so that's why they know that Charles have quite many 'Point' himself. Arya nodded in understanding. But suddenly Charles speak with determination that surprised Arya.
''Hey hey Arya, can you teach me how to fight?''
''Hm..?''
''I want to be stronger too you know..''
Seeing a fire of spirit on Charles eyes, Arya sighed.
''Fine, tonight we find a place to do PvP.''
''Eh? Why not now ?''
''I am tired, I want to sleep.''
Hearing Arya wanted to sleep in this early day, although today is holiday it's still strange. Charles suddenly remembered someting and ask.

''Eh, come to think of it. Why you didn't back to dormitory yesterday?''
While avoiding eye contact, Arya speak in small voice. ''...Reading.''
*****
In the school backyard, 4 figure can be seen fighting each other, if you see clearly they aren't wearing school uniform but armour and robe. Yes, Arya and Charles is doing an PvP, but not real battle as Arya that training Charles about fight.
''Ah, my mana is depleted.'' Charles slumped down and sighed.
''Come on Charles, it's already 5 times you know. Look Edward is already sleeping over there! Sigh, let's rest for now.'' Arya lowered his spear and complaining while pointing at Edward that sleeping with happy face in the grass near a tree. When they told that they will go training, Edward want to come. But he lost his interest and take a nap.
Seeing Arya allowed to break, Charles thrown his body and lay on the grass with satisfied face. Arya, who looking at Charles frowned and thought about someting but he saw Airi approaching.
''I am fine, how about you, Airi..?''
Arya just sigh, and check Airi condition. Their enemy is mage, so it's normal that they getting hit by fireball or the like.
Airi ask with her concerned face but Arya grinning and said.
''Yeah, it's our chance to see magic too you know. With this we can study it's move and make a good plan if we find magic caster enemy, and we helping Charles to make him stronger too. hehehe... Isn't it like hitting 2 bird with 1 stone?''
Airi expressions cramped.
''No no don't say it, I know that already. Alright Charles let's started again, keep in your mind to not waste your mana. And attacking when you see a opening. What? It's hard to hold the finished chant? I don't care, you are smart use your head.''
After Arya finished his word, they started to take a stance. In one side, Arya standing in front Airi with his shield ready, meanwhile in other side, Charles battle butler prepare his heavy gauntlet while his master started to chanting a spell. Seeing this, Arya rushing forward with Airi following behind. David, the butler greeting him with a heavy punch and push Arya few meter a back, before the tip spear from Airi hit him, he dodge by ducking and let her pass.
After the chant is complete, Charles pointing at unprepared Airi. Magic circle appeared below Airi and a plant entangle her, with the traped Airi, David rushing and launch another heavy punch, but pushed aside by shield bash from Arya. After released from the trap, they started to retreat but a fireball and waterball appeared in their location at fast speed.
'Dual Chant? How did he chant that fast! Urgh, it's not good.'
The 2 spell aim didn't hit them but just collided each other, when a fire and water meet a thick fog appeared and surround Arya and Airi. Seeing the chance that his master made, David use his strong hand to dig the ground and scooped a big round earth and throw it at their direction then followed behind it.
'What with this fog, I can't see anything.' Arya swung his spear to make the fog disappear.
After the fog vanished, a big round earth heading their way. While gripping his spear, Arya using Heavy Blow to crush it. But, a iron punch appeared and he didn't able to block it in time. But his savior, use her spear and hit the approaching hand, and they retreated again.
''Fhew, thanks Airi, that was dangerous.''
''Al.. watch out.''
When Arya said his thanks, he looking at Charles direction, when he see a spark running in Charles hand, he didn't finish his word, he hold Airi with princess carry and leap backward with Airi screaming cute voice. His thought is right, a lightning flashed and his previous place is burned.
'Lightning bolt! He is serious this time..'
After dropping the blushed Airi, he looking at Charles direction. David already in front of him, while his master chanting more spell.
''They are finally get's serious.''
''Who know, but, we will go too. Let's go Airi...''
Arya and Airi started to rush again. This time, Arya hold his shield in his right shoulder, he look like want to hold something. After a few second, Airi understood the meaning and take a flip and landing in his shield after he stop his rush. Like a cannon, Arya launched Airi at full power. The flying Airi place her spear ahead and rotate her body wirh fast move and look like a rotated drill.
When she almost hit David, Charles finished his chant and unleashed his magic. He didn't use attack magic but a barrier, the barrier and a drill-like Airi collided and keeping like that for few minute before the barrier is destroyed. Airi didn't hit Charles but pass above him and landed behind.
''You win Arya, I depleted all my remaining mana in that barrier, really you are amazing..''
''... No, I am the one that must say that. You use barrier immediately right? It's true that I said that I will serious, but that skill is not planed you know.. are you Esper? Supernatural power? Foresight?''
''No, it's just I thought about it. When I chanting a lightning bolt, I tell to myself, 'If it's Arya, he will able to dodge it.' After release it, I chanting barrier instead attack magic. But, what with that skill? It's so strong you know... hey...''
''Airi..!!! Are you alright...!!!''
When Charles saying that he just doing it coincidence and trying to ask about Arya skill, he ignore Charles and running toward Airi.
''Sorry about that. And Charles, your training is done. Congratulation. The way of Power is to belive in yourself. But, that Edward he is still sleeping.?''
''Hey hey Arya, tell me about your skill...''
When Arya finished checking Airi condition. he started to go to sleeping Edward while Charles keep asking about his previous skill. When they wake Edward, they sit down in a circle and Arya start to review.
"Charles, your combat ability is good. but you forgot your hidden weapon! Did you forget your dagger!" Hearing Arya shout Charles paled and finally remember his dagger at his waist. Calming himself, Arya ask him.
"Anyway, I know this world is different for our. But how did the mage as yourself use a magic? There is no concept at it right? How does a normal people whose weapon is orb, staff, wand and the like suddenly so easily thrown attack magic everywhere!"
Hearing Arya question, Charles and Edward stared blankly at Arya and blinked in confusion. Looking at them who didn't understand, Airi speak her mind.
Airi explain it while sit down beside Arya. This explanation of course made Arya, Charles, and Edward to sit straight like listening a strict lecturers which made Airi scowled.
Looking at the three who nodding their head, Airi continued.
When Airi mentioned about a Core, Arya expression darkened before he shake his head. Unfortunately the other attention gatherd at Airi.
Like a good teacher, Airi asked a question at everyone. Hearing it Charles timidly raises his wooden wand and grimoire that make Airi smiled.
With gentle eyes, Airi asked another question to Charles. This time, his eyes shined and he raise his hand with a gusto!
"I know! To unleash a spell a person need to chant a magical word, based on what type of magic they choose a person can chant a spell in a short or long time!"
"Ah, right! As a spell caster, there is two method on using spell. The first is to chant it directly, I absord the gathered mana inside my grimoire and as a trigger to unleash it a chant is must! The other method is to charge the spell on the staff or wand, this is the simple and easy one however each wand/staff only able to charge a few spell at most before it need to charged again. My staff only charged with 3 spell."
Airi clapped her hand as to praise Charles.
Arya and Edward was speachless hearing this new information as the teachers on their class never have this lesson. When the Question Answer season continued, Arya sighed as he check the skill that he got not long ago.
