Isekai: New Adventure In The Fantasy World
70. Masalalu Vendelous

"Actually... We used to be unhappy now." Hali's words made Zion more curious.

Zion immediately put up a comfortable sitting position according to her and prepared to listen to Hali's story.

Hali who saw that chuckled a little. Seeing Zion like that is like seeing a child who would listen to a fairy tale.

"We have been together since childhood, after our family knew the great strength we had, they started training us hard. Even to bring in a special coach." Hali paused his speech. He looked at Zion who was still staring at him curiously.

"Sometimes I hate having great power. Like the noble families, of course many respect us. In public we look like a good family with no problems. But it's inversely proportional to what's going on inside."

"We were trained so hard. I am not even allowed to rest and train against the best knight in the Kingdom. I didn't think much of it, but my other brother's brother, specifically my sister Kei."

"Why?" Ask Zion.

"I never thought about my condition. Anyway I don't care. But Kei is not as strong as I am. Especially because of his wind magic, he often practiced in the air and often fell from a height. Seeing her being in so much pain is enough to make me angry." Hali paused his speech. There was clearly misfortune on the red-faced face of the young man.

It's only natural that Hali is angry. Who would not be angry if a brother, let alone his biological sister to such an extent, right?

Hali continued his story. "When it looks cheerful, Kei always hides his sadness. He covered it with a smile and his ignorant attitude that made most people unaware if he was sad. But there was a time when I saw that smile was completely gone. Seeing her cry, made me feel sick."

"Others aren't much different either. Leo has the best physical condition of the rest. With her fire magic abilities, she often performed match exercises with knight knights. But, if he fails or complains a little, it must be immediately hit. That's what makes me not look at it. With a similar attitude, Leo often tried to escape even though he always managed to get caught."

Zion who heard that was a little moody. He really didn't think about this.

Hali continued his story. "Then Ice. You know he's pretty lazy. But it's not really so. Ice and Leo are opposite each other. Ice has a bad body condition and often hurts. He also could not stand the heat. But to help reduce Leo's burden, Ice always trains hard and does Leo's work. As I recall he never stopped training for three days. After three days he fell asleep."

"Three days asleep?" Zion asked quite surprised. How can one not take a 3-day shower? Ah forget that.

Hali nodded at Zion's question. " Tau is Ice is the type of person who can sleep anywhere and anytime. Polar bear's nickname does fit me, though."

Zion agreed to that. " There's a point. Considering he fell asleep at practice or when he wanted to compete, I don't think it's surprising anymore. What about Thory and Sein?"

"For Thory... You know for yourself he's the most innocent. Too innocent in my opinion. He's a master of plant magic, a fairly rare magic actually. Because of his magic, Thory often practiced in the forest. Her trainer lets her deal with monsters on her own and will only help her when the situation Thory really can't handle. So often Thory came home with a wounded state. But behind his innocent nature, there are times when Thory can be very cruel if anyone dares to hurt his brother, specifically his sister Sein."

"Thory can be cruel? I'm a little hard to imagine." Zion said considering how sweet and innocent Thory is. It even seems like her tenderness exceeds that of a girl. Plus her most cute face among other money with big eyes and charming emerald irises, moreover plus her wide, sweet smile was clearly making everyone anxious and fascinated.

So it was obvious he was a little hard to imagine the figure being cruel. What do you think it will be like?

"Okay, next Sein. He's a mad scientist. His own brother was an experiment. His sky-high self-esteem and his over-narcissistic style let alone insane popularity was hard enough to imagine the genius was actually hiding a lot of trouble."

Zion chuckled a little at that. Soon that Hali to Sein to describe his attitude like that? But it doesn't seem wrong either...

"After his parents knew Sein's genius in potions and light magic, they always forced Sein to make various drugs for sale. They threatened to hurt your brother if Sein didn't want to do that."

"Yes... At least it's over. I started getting sick of it all and quietly slipped the code while attending meetings to ask for help. But unfortunately they thought it was just a joke. Until finally one night someone understood my code. That guy hated my family a long time ago and we worked together on the guarantee that he would help us be free if he could destroy the Vandelous family. Strange to destroy my own family. But I'm sick of all that. I don't want my brother tormented any longer."

"And you finally agreed?"

Hali nodded. "That night I told all my plans to my other brother and managed to escape with his help. After that we went to our grandparents' house in the village and stayed there for 3 years before starting to enter Star Magic Academy. At least it only takes a short time for others to be cheerful again." Hali.

Zion now understands the reason why Hali has such a great leader soul. Through his experience and life, caring and taking a step forward can already prove himself worthy of being a leader.

"But at least now you're safe. Things like that won't happen again." Said Zion arriving with a smile. Somehow seeing her cute face made Hali calm down.

"Yes... At least it's all done now." Hali agreed. Yet...

Kruyukis...

Instantly Zion instantly turned away and covered her face of flushed money. He just remembered they haven't eaten anything since they got stuck here. Hali who heard that laughed a little.

"Yes too. We haven't eaten anything." Her speech. Zion just nodded. He looked around him. It seems impossible to find fruit in a place like this.

But what if it's in the pool? "Don't you?"

"It's not a monster, is it?" Ask Hali. He watched the fish swimming in the pond. Yeah, it doesn't seem like. "All right, I'll catch him."

"Okay, I'll prepare the fire." Said Zion. Hali also nodded in understanding. "Eh but how-"

Byurs!

Be late. Hali has jumped into the pool. Zion shook her head to see that. At least now they understand each other.

*****

In a laboratory room there was a young man with white hair who was asleep with an infusion needle stuck in his arm. Seen bandages tied his neck and hands.

The pale face was clearly visible on the young man, making him look quite apprehensive.

Suddenly, a young man with black irises entered the room. He looked gently at the young man who was still asleep and walked up to take an injection and the liquid that added his magic.

"I think it's time." He said while grinning cruelly.
