Chapter 2: Let's team up!

Together, fight the bad guys!

What the..?!

Seriously?? I don't know I can use magic..

Ms. Emet smiled at me. She said the class dismiss except me.. She want to talk with me.

"Well..?", I asked.

"What do you mean? You should enter the university, not the high school!", Mr. Emet look happy.

"Noooo.. I.. I don't know that I could do that? I thought.. I-I.."

"You mean you don't know how to use and control it?", said Ms. Emet before I finish my sentence.

"Yeah..", I said it sadly.

"Don't worry.. I will teach you how.. This Sunday, 9 am, I want you to go to Syrell Forest, wait me in front the entrance!", with her smile.

"Okay", I smiled back to her..

"Now, go home and take a rest", she hold my shoulder and go back to her office.

I'm still looking at her for a half minute and turn back, going home. My home..

I only stay on a tree house that I made my self at Morva Forest. Morva forest is near with Syrell Forest so, I went to Syrell Forest and take a look after I put my school stuff.

I need to work soon at the Cartella restaurant at the town, near my school as a cleaning service. I don't care about the job. I only care that I get my money and I can buy food and stuff.

I wish that I could have a better home.. And.. A family..

Ah! Why I'm thinking like this?!

I-I don't mind being alone! Just finish my work at night and having fun after that!

"Azure!", from the left corner of the restaurant

"Ya??", I turned my head and looking for the person. It was my boss.

"You made a great job on this month.. Well, I guess.. I'll give you a double payment", said my boss. Smiling at me.

"Are you serious?! Thanks, boss!!", I said it out loud, of course! It's a really good news!

I went home and I don't know what to do..

I guess I can look around Syrell Forest again so I use a simple clothes and barefoot. I don't know why but, Syrell Forest is quite nice..

There are old trees around 50 years or more..

I found a really huge tree and this one is very old, I think it's the biggest.

I tried to climb up.. When I reach the highest, I can see a small waterfall with a small pond..

There are trees but it's abit far from the pond so there is a little space to sit.. I went there and it was a nice view!

I think soon I'll move to Syrell.. Haha..

But, it's hard to rebuild a tree house and move my thousand stuff..

"Can you hear what I said?

I remember you.. You asked me to save the world..

I don't even know what a slayer do? I should give up about this since you asked me to.. But.. Y-you saved my life so I wanted to finish this and.. And..", I said. I was talking to the sky.. I know this is crazy but, he give me a name, Azure the Sky Slayer.. So I think, if I need something, I just talk to the sky?

"I'm so stupid", I turn my head and walked back to my tree house.

-The next morning-

"OH MY GOD!?", I'm looking at my clock and it's aleady 9.23, as usuall.. I'm late!!

I just change my clothes and wear my favourite shoes then, I run..

When I arrived at the Syrell entrance.. No one there..

"Don't tell me Ms. Emet left or she also late..", I'm talking to my self with uncontrolable breath..

I was looking around and..

*kreekkk..* like a broken glass sound

I stepped on something. When I lift up my foot, I saw Ms. Emet's spectacles.. I bend my knees and pick up her spectacles then, I stood up with a shocked face.

She was here! But.. Her spec.. Why?

I quickly run around, looking for her..

"It's impossible if someone kidnap her, right..??!"

"No no no no no noo..!!", I was talking while I'm still running around.

Suddenly, I heard something strange..

I think.. I think someone is talking!

I hid behind the tree and listen to that voice..

I lost the sound.. I can't hear it anymore..

"Hey.."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!", I shouted because someone hold my shoulder from the back.

When I turn my head, I saw a tall guy, wearing grey shirt with a short pants and a slippers. His face look cute enough. And I like his hair style.. Not bad.

"W-who are you?", I asked him.

"What? You don't know me?", he was asking me back.

"I.. never saw you before..", I tried to make sure that I really don't know him.

"Hmpp.. Bad memory", he slapped my head.

"Excuse me?!", I said it with an angry face.

"I'm Cleaf, 16 years old, also in Jyon. 2 levels above you.. Azure..", He said it while his eyes looking at somewhere.

"You.. Know me? Why?", I'm confused

"Why you ask? You are the Sky slayer, right?", He said. This time he was looking at me.

"H-how do you know?!", shocked.

"I'm also a slayer.. Cleaf the Plant Slayer. There are 12 slayers in this world. Sky, fire, water, plant, rock, lightning, poison, gravity, machine, spirit, ground and..", he stopped and making a sad looking..

"And..?", I asked him.

"Mind..", he said.

"Mind? Mind slayer? What is that?", I look confused.

"Most of mind slayer has gone bad.. they were trying to do a bad things because they can control everyone's mind..", he explained.

"Oh..", I feel bad.

"But.. You look so funny.. Hahahaa..", I laughed.

"I know! Everyone said that! Why I'm choosen as a plant slayer?! It supposed to be girl's job!!", he embarrassed.

"Hahaaa!!", I laughed more loud.

But, I suddenly remember! I was looking for Ms. Emet!

"Oh, wait!! Have you seen a girl around 20 or more years old. Her hair is totally black with blue eyes. Her name is.."

"You mean Ms. Emet?", he cut my conversation.

"Ya!"

"She is in danger. Long explanation. Would you like to team up with me, girl?", he hold my shoulder again and smiled at me.

"Of course!", I said. I think this is going to be fun.
