( Previously in Chapter 13)

( We see some unexpected shenanigans and complete demonic visions from Akashi. After he got out, he threw a huge whirlwind at Ishiki with unconsciousness )

( But, Ishiki didn't get hurt that much, just a big bang on his head )

=========================================================================

( Now in Chapter 14 )

( With that perplexing, mind-boggling visionary chaos, we jump into the next scene where we see the old mighty-Victorian looking building with the sun rays hitting the glass paintings and shines like a crystal of glorious )

( This is the Zetralios Mystic School located in Grasswoods Village. Ranked as one of the most top-valuable and largest schools in the world. It still holds the #1 Ritual School that started 200 years ago. It has an amazing record of 291,200 sq feet, beating the next largest school in Xeno... Yukana Mystic School )

( This is the map of Zetralios Mystic School drawn by me. Looks well planned, isn't it? )

( The Mystic School provides,

(i) 25 main classrooms with each having a college-style

(ii) A big garden with a beautiful, well-structured lotus fountain

(iii) An 8900 sq feet hostel block with inbuilt playground

(iv) Four watchtowers, which will always be 24/7

(v) Four Sections well-connects to all areas

(vi) A 12,300 sq feet battle arena with inbuilt medical camps

(vii) A three-floored library that goes downwards

(viii) Ritual Laboratories

(ix) Ritualists Meeting Hall

(x) A big sensory center that connects all sensory orbs around Zetralios

(xi) Most importantly, The Five-Sisters Village's Mayor Office with Administrative Departments )

( We now enter into the sensory center where the ritualists have seated in a hexagonal shape with a big-green sensory orb in the middle releasing a big electric surge at the bottom )

( That surge is being absorbed by a potential surge absorbent [PSA] connected to the orb's bottom & covered with a big optic fiber. Then that potential surge transfers all the sensory messages into a big radio that converts that surge's sound frequency to human's frequency level which is around 20Hz to 20KHz )

( Out of nowhere, the orb in the middle gets brighter )

{Ritualist}: Master Yazuki !!

( Kogeki Yazuki: One of the Zetralios Mystics. He is a skilled-wind Ritualist and has a nickname for his acrobatic fighting skills - " The Mighty Eagle ". He is 29 years old with military green hair and deep sandal eyes )

( Yazuki hears it and comes in the sensory room. He sees the orb vibrating like crazy )

{Yazuki}: What is it?

{Ritualist}: We got a message from the Zetralios Police Chief " Zanshin Kogarashi ", Master!

{Yazuki}: Zanshin?! Tell me where the message came from?!

{Ritualist}: Message came from the Finnora's Monument, Master!

{Yazuki}: It's gotta be an important message about the blast. Send that surge to the Radio Room, now!

{Ritualist}: Yes, Master!

( That guy pulls down a lever next to his desk, then that vibrant surge gets transferred to the Radio Room. Yazuki rushed out of the sensory room and bangs open the Radio Room's door )

{Ritualists}: Master Yazuki! (salutes)

{Yazuki}: Everybody, get your speed up and start changing the incoming surge. Fast...Fast...Fast!!

( The ritualists started changing the frequency by releasing sound location ritual into the machine and starts adjusting the frequency in their minds )

( They start to hear something and keeps on adjusting it. Then we hear a clear voice of Zanshin through the machine )

{Yazuki}: STOP!!

( The machine's sound screen shows normal wavelengths which means they altered the frequency. Yazuki moves very slowly to the machine and inserts his hand. He closes his eyes and starts hearing it in his mind )

( As he hears it, he gets uneasy in-between and shows a very shocking face )

{Yazuki}: That's..That's Impossible!

{Ritualist}: Is there anything wrong, Master?

{Yazuki}: I need to see the mayor as quickly as possible!

( He rushes out of the sensory center, goes through Section D, and dashes through everybody )

{Yazuki}: (Runs fast) HAAAA! Move... Move... Ah- Move aside! Move!!

( He reaches the reception area and goes to the mayor's office, but he got interrupted by a lady receptionist sitting in the reception )

{Receptionist}: Master Yazuki! Wait!

( He stops before knocking on the door and turns to her )

{Receptionist}: The Mayor is not currently in the office right now!

{Yazuki}: I need to give him an important message that came from the sensory center. I have to meet him right now! It's urgent!

{Receptionist}: Alright! Master! Let me call his guardians right now...

( She takes out a sensory mini-orb that looks like a small pearl, puts it in her ear, and starts connecting her senses to the mayor's guardians. But Haruki interferes and says )

{Yazuki}: There is no need for that. I know exactly where he is!

( He runs outside and goes inside the school area. All ritualists looked at him doubtfully and he runs through the hallways and sees the huge stairs. He sees up and even more than 10 floors )

{Yazuki}: (sighs) I don't have time for this!

( Sees an open window next to him )

Let's go old-style!

( Then he jumps out of the window and creates wings between his arms which are made out of the crystallized wind. He flies around the area for good timing. He forms a swirling position in the air and says )

WIND RITUAL: SONIC BURST!!

( He releases a huge thrust from his wings, which launched him up so fast like a jet. All ritualists gazed at him like something crazy is happening )

{Yazuki}: Where..Where..Where is the balcony?

( From a window, two ritualists at the balcony, sees flying Haruki)

{Ritualist 1}: Is that.. Kogeki?!

( Kogeki enjoys flying around like a free bird. He sees the balcony with an open window at the top. He thrusts down from the sky and lands into the balcony with a beautiful twirl and the wings get vanished )

{Ritualist 2}: Woah!

{Ritualist 1}: That was awesome!

( Kogeki gets up and twirls his arms around with a pained moan )

{Yazuki}: Ow-Ow! After some huge gap, using that ritual...

(cracks) is tearing my triceps.. (Gets a huge crack) Ohh! That felt good!

{Ritualist 1}: Master? What are you doing here?!

{Yazuki}: Oh Yeah! I came to see the mayor. I have an important message for him!

{Ritualist 2}: Well! He's currently given us a task not allowing anyone to interact with him right now!

{Yazuki}: You gotta be kidding me! I said it's important... Quote it.. " IMPORTANT "..

{Ritualist 1}: But Master..

{Yazuki}: I am your higher-up. So I order you two to stay quiet or play tic-tac-toe on the wall!

( He noticed big tic-tac-toe on the wall. The other Ritualist tries to hide it with a screen)

{Yazuki}: Hmph! Tactical move.. Why don't put the X on my face?! You numpty-dumplers!

{Ritualists}: We apologize, Master!

{Yazuki}: Feeling sorry doesn't change the drawing on the wall, neither your inconsistency on-duty time! Hereafter, if see such childish act of you two.. You will be permanently undercarded from a guardian to a watchman!

{Ritualists}: Yes, Master!

{Yazuki}: Good!

( He opens the rooftop door and slams it shut )

( In the next scene, we see a huge flock of pigeons flying around the rooftop, circling all around in one spot. He sees it and looking down he sees a man sitting in between those pigeons )

{Yazuki}: My god, he is doing those kinds of stuff at this age?! Holy moly, he is crazy! (smirks)

( He slowly approaches the man. He steps upon some grains, picks some, and throws on the other side. Half of the pigeons saw it & goes, leaving a gap for him to go forward)

{??}: (Old voice) I saw you flying all over the school! Anything special happened?

{Yazuki}: Yes! It's indeed a special message, Master!

( The old man turns around and gives a cool-gazing face at Haruki. It was none other than Mayor of the Five-Sisters Village - Mayor Girukenchi )

( Mayor Girukenchi: A 70 yr old man who is the mayor of the Five-Sisters Village. He is one of the top most valuable people in Zetralios ranking at #3. He is a veteran in ritual battles both magic and combat and still moves like a 30 yr old. He was also a mystic and trained his five students which they are now known as " The Mystic Masters " passing down his legacy to them. He has salt &pepper hair with salt on the sides with black on the top with a long ponytail which he rarely puts outside public )

{Girukenchi}: Sit!

( Yazuki shows a great smile at him and sits next to him. Girukenchi takes some grains from the bucket laying behind. Yazuki gazed upon him with confusion )

{Girukenchi}: Take it!

( Yazuki slowly takes the grains from him. He rolls his hand and analyses it )

{Girukenchi}: Now! Throw it as I do...

( He throws some grains up in the sky and all the pigeons started to follow it. The grains landed far away from where they are, and the pigeons get their treat )

( Yazuki sees it with a great shock on his face )

{Yazuki}: Wow! All the pigeons that we were surrounded were all just moved after you some grains?! That's magical!

{Girukenchi}: Magical?! (giggles)

{Yazuki}: Did..I say something out of place, Master?!

{Girukenchi}: Magical is the term where if something happens unusual in your surroundings! Not everything in this world is magic..

( Yazuki gets confused after hearing such words from the mayor or his master )

{Girukenchi}: Now, throw those grains on the opposite side of where I threw!

{Yazuki}: Why?

{Girukenchi}: Something magical will happen! (smirk)

( Yazuki throws the grains as Girukenchi said, and the result was indeed magical. He expected the pigeons to jump into the grains he threw. But, it was the opposite. No pigeons came to his side and never even take a step to go )

{Yazuki}: Huh? The pigeons..didn't come?

{Girukenchi}: (smiles) See! That's what you call magical!

{Yazuki}: But..But.. How?! I did throw the grains at the plain sight?

{Girukenchi}: Maybe they don't want to take your treat!

{Yazuki}: That's not possible! I just gave the pigeons, some grains before I came here.. And I threw it right there!

HUH?! (Shocks)

( He points at the grains that he threw before meeting Girukenchi. He gets astonished by not seeing any pigeons in that place as well)

{Girukenchi}: I don't see any? Did you scare them?

{Yazuki}: No, Master! I saw with my own eyes. The pigeons did go there when I threw it! But now, it didn't even take a single piece of it!

{Girukenchi}: Hmph! That's also..magical!

( Yazuki gets to show a tempered face after hearing that and Girukenchi smile at him.. Just an old man mocking a Mystic.. A Master-Student funny moment.. What a relationship )

{Girukenchi}: All right! All right! Don't show that face... The truth is that.. I am testing a social experiment on these pigeons... That signifies peace!

( Gets up and walks towards the pigeons )

Plus, these aren't the normal pigeons...

( He picks up a pigeon and shows the pigeon's foot which looked bruised like a healed wound. Haruki gets up with some interest in his eyes )

{Haruki}: Those bruises.. Are those are..

{Girukenchi}: Yes Haruki! They are Passenger Pigeons.

( For the viewers, if you don't know what passenger pigeons are, they are used as messengers during the world war times, sending important messages to the allied forces without any disturbance from the enemies. They went extinct after the wars from the gunshots they took and also because of hunting )

( Image: Passenger Pigeon )

{Girukenchi}: These pigeons aren't like the normal ones we see every day. They are well-trained, smart birds that are well-cooperative with humans.

One day when I was your age, I saw a man in Astallias sitting on a bench and throwing corn on these pigeons. I also wanted to give some corns to them. So I bought one and threw some next to the man. But nothing came to my side. I was well-confused after seeing it. So,

I approached the man and asked him.. " Why? Why these pigeons are only taking your treat and not mine ?" That man smiled at me and said..

" Oh! That is really hard to say in words, my boy! It's like a bond that I and these pigeons understand each other! I always get so bored and my grandson will go to the war zone. I always felt all alone. Then, one day I sat on this very bench and thought about my son. These pigeons land next to me and circles around me. I found it very peaceful in my heart and threw some corn that I had. At first, they flew.. Then day after day, they recognize me and starting accepting my treat as if I was one of them! "

I felt very amazed after hearing that and felt something very peaceful in my heart somewhere after seeing the pigeons. Then the next day, I came to Zetralios and threw grains at this same rooftop. I did see pigeons flew right next to me but didn't come to me!

I did it again the next day, but didn't happen. Then after a week, when I was ready to toss the bucket of grains, I saw the pigeons gazing at me as if they are ready to accept my treat. For some reason, I smiled... I threw the grains right next to me, then the pigeons started flying in rush and started eating it. While some of it landed on my shoulders. I took some grains in my hand and they started to eat them from my hand. It did hurt because some of them pecked, but I felt some good emotions flowing through my body like I was one of them.

I felt some peace in me after getting the tensions of war times. Then I thought why myself..

Why not implement this in our current society? What if I say that the peace won't come after some treaty made by the governments?

{Yazuki}: What are you trying to say, Master?!

{Girukenchi}: Peace won't come into your heart as soon the treaty gets announced. It will take some time to go through the new measurements after the war. But if the people got the peace of what they want.. There won't be any discrimination between us.. It will be perfect peace.

Like these pigeons.. The people will not eat and digest the peace from any government officials too soon.. The people will only seek the person..the person that they knew for a long time.. The one who understands people's inner peace and wishes will digest the peace soon and better!

{Yazuki}: I see, so you say that "The peace" will not get digested into people's minds soon enough?

{Girukenchi}: Not only that, if that peace didn't apply to some people there will inner conflict and immense trauma in the society. People will go rouge and find their wanted peace without any knowledge about the dangers that they will suffer. Just like that incident at Silvannia... I still can't get out of that horrific incident.. It's still haunting in my dreams!

So I decided to play the king's role and make my own way that people won't go insane like that incident.

I want a world with peace that doesn't lead to any future conflict!

( Girukenchi symbolizes peace with the feeding of pigeons as an example. As you all know, pigeons symbolize peace. So, he is a fact machine ^^ )

{Yazuki}: I am.. I am out of words!

Huh? I am sorry, master. I forgot to tell you that..

( Then Girukenchi surprises Yazuki by pulling out the sensory orb from his right ear. Kinda taking off your earphone )

{Girukenchi}: I heard all of it!

{Yazuki}: WHAT?!

( He checks his pocket and realizes that there is no orb. He gets confused )

WHEN.. WHEN DID YOU? (shocks)

{Girukenchi}: I played the oldest trick in the books..

( Throws the orb at Yazuki and he catches it )

And you fell for it so easily!

{Yazuki}: Tsk! That's why you're the veteran of ritualists, Master! (smirks)

{Girukenchi}: Now, we have the evidence of who or what did this.. We just need that evidence to speak out the truth in Section D's Jail Vault!

Let's go, Kogeki!

{Yazuki}: Yes, Master!

( As they leave, he takes the bucket and threw all the grains. After seeing that, all the pigeons fly to the spot and eats. It was a wonderful sight that made Girukenchi smile. Then, they started to leave )

( Then as they leave, the pigeons started to fly all around. Then in a close-up shot, we see a black raven among the flock of pigeons. Its black eyes shone like a polished stone and flies away with a majestic way of leaving some black feathers at the roof and cracking like a demon )

( Then the feathers landed on the rooftop gets dissipated into small dark particles which made some grains go dark black as if they are poisonous to eat )

( If something poisons the peace seed that the people want, then something will happen which will end up monstrous in the social bond chain. If something better arises in the lands of heavens, the darkness will spoil it like slow poison just because the longer the pain lives, the more the fear will arise )
