New Life Online 134 Before The Fire

*Akko's POV*

Hmmmm? What was that? I can sense a large amount of flame from our guild hall!

"Nymph, can you tell me what's going on there?" My monster soul can tell more.

"Lady Akko, it seems that your place is on fire right now. The fire is not from any magic user." Someone did this? Who would do such a thing?! Scy would be furious if he would find out about this.

"Elou, someone is burning our guild hall. Can you check it out for me?" I asked Elou to see who's responsible for this.

"Ok, just wait a sec. Garuda, time to fly!" He said.

"But I don't have wings?" It talked back...

"Just let me use your leg power. Here we go!" He jumped really high and I think he's using some vision enhancement spell to see if he can see who is doing that.

After a while, he came back from above.

"So did you find out anything?" I asked worriedly.

"Yeah, I got a clear view. If it's a guy then I wouldn't recognize him but it was a girl. My girl radar is stronger than anybody else." That's an awesome talent.

"Good for you. How about Scy? Do you somehow know his location?"

"No, but I found something dark place which I haven't seen for a while, we just head straight. This way leads to the Centaur army that the recruits were talking about. This way, on the other hand, leads to that dark place. Can you also feel Scy's Aura?" He asked.

"Yeah, I can also feel a malicious aura. It's really bad. I hope we can make it in time."

We continued traveling as fast as we can and we finally arrived at the place. The place is definitely devastated and you can see that the place is wrecked really badly. It's like there was a weather disaster happened here. Trees fell down cut to pieces, the ground is like there was an earthquake happened and even the sky is also separated from above. Just what the heck happened here?

As I look carefully, I found Elou checking the guy with th.o.r.n.y armor.

"Is he alright?" I asked.

"Yeah, it seems he's just unconscious from hitting his head. Lili, can you please heal this guy. Anyway, Scy's also over there. Can you check him out?" He suggested.

I rushed towards the direction he pointed out and I found Scy sitting beside a tree. Why does he always look so cool... Relax Akko! Don't get ahead of yourself.

"Scy?! Are you alright?!" I asked worriedly.

"Yeah, I'm just resting a bit. Here's a soul stone. We should keep it for now. It's a dangerous one." I can see that his leg is dislocated and also bleeding a lot! He must have endured a lot of pain to defeat this monster!

"Just wait here Scy, I'll fetch Lili to heal you!" I insisted but he stopped me while he's holding my hand and let me sit beside him!! Akko! Get yourself together!

"Let her heal the others. I am fine. Why don't you relax here a bit? It's also getting dark. The night sky always makes me feel comfortable and feel at ease. Well to tell you honestly, you look like you're tired more than me. Your face is really red right now." Seriously?! You're holding my hand! Kyaaaaa!

"Are you really alright? Your face looks like it's about to burst." He asked curiously. Kyaaaa! I'm too embarra.s.sed to say something! His shoulder is touching mine! Kyaaaa!

"Hey seriously? Are you alright?!" Then suddenly, he put his hand on top of my forehead! Wait a sec... my vision started to get blurry...

-Minami Household-

"NOOOO SCY! I'M NOT READY YET!" hmmmmm? I woke up on my bed...

"Since when did you have naughty thoughts sis..." It was Lili.

"And I was worried earlier... it's time to eat... get your as* off the bed, you perv!" Lili really talks a lot in real life than in the game. I like it more when she doesn't talk because she's basically the rudest sister when she talks...

"Ok, I'll be right there."

-North Forest-

We were able to return to the game and also reported to Scy what happened.

"I know it's really annoying but let's keep it to ourselves for a while. Let's show them that trust can't be earned that easily. If our plan works then our bond will be even better. Oh by the way, what happened to you earlier?" Scy asked me why I pa.s.sed out...

"I think it's because I didn't really eat well this morning and I forgot to have lunch." I reasoned out. You really are such an airhead...

"But..." Lili tried to say something and I think she wants to say that I really ate pretty well earlier today...

"AND... let's go back." I stopped her from saying anything...

"Scy, the recruits with Elle, Petula and Leion managed to defeat most of the Centaurs left. I think our recruits are really stronger than we thought when they are serious." Elou reported.

"Ok, just call them back to the camp."

"Then Zia is not with them? So where is she?" I asked curiously. Since we entered the forest, I didn't really sense her aura, maybe because she doesn't have a soul stone.

"Don't worry about her. She's safe and will log in back later." How is he so sure about that? He hasn't told us what happened but from the looks of it, he saved her with that guy with th.o.r.n.y armor.

After a long walk with the others, we arrived at our place. We tried to look surprised to make our plan believable.

"Hey, Scy, it seems Zia logged in back to the game," Elou said.

"Hey Zia, are you alright? I tried to look for you but I didn't find you anywhere. Thankfully you showed up here in our checkpoint which is the guild hall's location." He seems to be caring about her a lot...

After that small talk, they seem to be arguing about what happened earlier. I know what happened but it's too early to say anything.

And after that small argument, the recruits are really worrying now. There is someone here who wants to sabotage what we are doing and they started to distrust the other recruits. If Scy's plan doesn't work then it will scar our guild pretty bad.

Suddenly, Zia talked to Scy and Scy started to say something.

"Well it's just a normal flint and I think most of us... Oh wait, that's right! If the culprit used this to make a fire then that means the culprit doesn't have a fire spell! Of course, a lot of us don't use fire spell this also means that the culprit doesn't have his own flint!" Can I vote you now as the best actor? You are not just cool but you are also good at acting. Oh, Scy...
