Chapter 12: Trust game

Under the strong heart is our kind feeling

"How you remember your power?", professor asked.

"I just suddenly remember..", I said.

They taking a look at me. It's like that they didn't trust my word. I confused.

"Why?", I asked them.

"No.. Nothing..", Arisa said.

"Then! Shall we treat your wound and Yumi's too!", Arisa.. Her smile is the best.

"Yeah..", Sarasa continued.

"Ohh, ok..", I just follow as they said. I think they were hiding something.

"Azure..", Cleaf called me.

I don't want to turn my head but, it will make an akward situation so, I turned my head and smile with a word.

"What?"

"Thanks..", he said softly.

"For what..??", I wonder why he said thanks?

"You didn't hurt Yumi..", he look down. He just look so sad.

"It's not a problem.. We are friends!", I said with a happy toned voice. But, inside my heart.. I don't really care.

After that, I went to my room on the second floor. Arisa used her healing skill.

I knew it. They all were hiding something from me. And so, I stand.

"No, you better rest now..!", Arisa said with a really caring heart.

"I need to talk to professor..", I said.

"You can talk later, now...", she hold my shoulder and push me slowly until I sit on my bed.

"You sleep!", I can't lie. Arisa is a true kind hearted. And so, I followed as what she said.

Speaking of kind heart. What about Sarasa? Didn't she asked me to be her best friend? She seem enjoying her self with her brother and forget me.. I guess I was choosing the wrong friend.

"She know that we were hiding sbout something..", Arisa said from the ladder. She went down.

"Did you guys heard what I said?", Arisa asked. She thought that no one heard what she said.

"We heard that..", Austin answered.

"How's Azure?", professor asked Arisa.

"She fell asleep..", Arisa started to show a serious face.

"What ar ethey talking about..?", I said in my mind.. I was standing behind the pillar. No one can see me because this area is dark.

"Yumi?", Arisa asked back to professor.

"Sefarto took control of the entire brain..", professor look worried.

Cleaf just sat next to Yumi and looking at Yumi. Yea.. Yumi is beautiful. That's why he loves her. Ah! What I'm thinking about?!

"So..?", Austin asked.

"Still, don't tell Azure about the conversation..", professor said.

"I knew it!", I said inside my heart.

"She know something but, she didn't tell us so, we also hide it..", professor continued.

"Is it alright?", Arisa asked. She worried.

"Yeah, how if our is even more important than her? How if she just know and still unsure so, she didn't tell us?", Sarasa asked professor.

"Just follow my plan", professor answered. He look so sure with his decision.

"Ah!", Austin shouted slowly.

"What is it?", Arisa want to know.

"I heard something from Azure's room", Austin said.

"Really? I didn't hear anything..???", Arisa doubt.

"I will check", Austin said.

Austin stand and went to the ladder. How I suppoesed to go back to my room? I hate this.

"Austin", professor called him.

"Umm...???", Austin turned his head and looking at professor.

While Austin looking back, I quickly using a small wind balance and jumped very high without a noise. I jumped until the last ladder and quickly run to my bed without noise.

"Oh, nothing", professor said.

"Okay..", and so, Austin turn his head and went to my room.

*Crieeekk..*, the creaking sound of the door. Austin is here, in my bedroom.

I keep acting that I'm sleeping.

*Clack*, closing door? He's out?

"Azure", Austin called me.

I still act that I'm really sleeping. I want to laugh but, I need to hold this. Ughh.. Faster go out, Austin!!!

"I know you were down there and professor also knew that. I think..", he said.

"How you know?", I slowly open my eyes. He's standing beside my my bed.

"Just go now..", Austin said.

"What?", I don't get it.

"If you want to finish your business, now is your chance!", he said with a little bit raised voice.

"Why would you say that?", I asked.

"I think I know about what you know.. I realised something", he said with a lower voice than before.

"Good..", I stand up and open the window.

"You didn't bring anything with ya?", he asked.

"Nope. And you..", I said.

"Yes?", he asked back again.

"Careful!", and I jumped from the window and used the same wind balance to jump out and run away.

"You, too", he said after I went away.

"Professor!!", Austin shouted.

"What?!", he shouted from the first floor.

"Azure is gone!!!", Austin made his voice sound panic.

*Clack..*, someone open the door, behind Austin.

"No one will said that after letting someone, which is our special source to escape..", someone from the back said that to Austin.

When Austin turned his head. It was professor.

"Professor, you are quite old.. No one as old as you can walk that fast and also the ladder is high..", Austin stared at professor.

"What do you mean?", professor asked with a calm face.

"I trust Azure, not you.. Sefarto..", Austin raised his voice a bit.

"I'm not Sefarto.. And I know you are not stupid like Cleaf.. You must be finished in the first place!", professor shouted.
