Chapter 28: Chapter 63: The Operation Begins!(4)
[ Koschei Manuscript ]
The book itself seems pretty old, maybe even decades seeing how the pages are almost rip off from the cover.The leather seem pretty rough to touch too, but the thing still pretty useful and can be read too.
"Ma'am Claire, where did you get this book?" Caspian asked, the older woman replied back.
"I just found that in the school library. But, the library is officially closed down 5 months ago."
Caspian licked his dry lips, he opened the book and saw the title again on the front page, this time the title is written in gold ink.
As always, there's a signature below the title. The signature is also written messy, seeing how the ink drip down from the page and the author handwritten sucks.
"This is so cool looking," Gwen reached out to touched the pages. It's her first time seeing this kind of book, she spent alot of times in a lot of library, even taking trips to the other town just to visit the library, but she never saw this kind of book before.
Why is this specific book is different from the others?Well, the thing that amaze them is the light of the book, yes light.
The book emits light that reflects a pure aura. In short, the book is glowing. Caspian turned to look at the older woman but she is also confused, she only took interest in that book because it glow.
How can the headmaster place this book when it feels divine, so that's why Ms.Claire got this book to treasure it because they announced that the library is closing.
"I want a copy of this book," Gwen said, her eyes twinkling as she traced the book with her fingers.
Caspian agreed to that, he is also want a copy of this. He don't habe any hobby like reading but this is very eye appealing, he want to even steal it but that's bad. He will just asked his Father to buy this from Ms.Claire or even asked his brother for a copy of this.
"Now, let see what this book contained."
Caspian js about the opened the second page of the book, Ms.Claire spoke up.
"Gwen, can you help me get to the bathroom? The clinic doesn't have one and the only near bathroom is the garden."
Gwen mouth opened like a gaping fish, her eyes meet Caspian, Caspian nodded to her as if he's Gwen guardian, well that's half true.
Gwen stood up, helping Ms.Claire sat up, she assisted the older woman to the door.
"I'll tell you the details when you come back."
The two left, leaving him alone. He opened the next page, the story begin there.
-----
Once upon a time, there's a young boy who lived very perfectly as you can say. He have a really happy family, a kind couple and very protective siblings.
They lived in a small village called Atraxia, a place where there's no crime at all. The boy family is famous for their kindness their sharing all over the town, it even reached the other kingdom.
The young boy name is Azazel without a last name. That is also the reason why his fmaily got attention from the others, because they don't habe any last name. But, even if they did have one, they don't remember anything.
One day, someone save Azazel from a carriage that almost run him over.Azazel look up to that person very much, and he even had another feeling for that person.
But, who's that person though?
His name is...Unknown, nobody even knows that he exist in the beginning. Everyone in town knows each other but the appearance of the boy was never seen before.
Azazel parents decided to make him a guest of the household because of the generosity that he did, Azazel pretty much got the person attention and he love it very much that he wants to lock that person away from everybody and that he is the only one can see him.
The two spent most of the three days together, Azazel guiding him and being a tourguide for that person, despite the huge ap of their age, Azazel wants to marry that person, but the only thing problem is that the person is a male.
But of course, the unknown person can't stay longer, he still have many things to do and he only stumbled on that village.
Azazel beg his parents to make him stay but they are also powerless. The unknown person disappeared after that.
Azazel awaken his power at the age of 13, making him the youngest in the history to do so, so his parents decided to hold a huge party to celebrate their son achievement, but that event made their son in danger.
Azazel was kidnapped on the day of the event, his siblings died and the parents fell into a coma. Azazel was kidnapped by the demon king; Samael.
----
Caspian mouth opened by the shocking paragraph. He traces the name of the person that made him shook to the bone, he even feel shiver.
Somehow, his head is hurting while reading this. He didn't even know the feeling that is swarming inside his nerve. He closed the book to make him mind think for a moment.
Is that a coincidence? His past name is the same as the protagonist of the book, and the demon king name is also Samael.
All the weird things keep happening these past few days, including the bridge accident which he didn't even remember at all.
Let's not forget the part where he met Samael and even said anything about being reincarnated. He thanked Valerie for finding him, ir else he will drown and be stuck with Samael inside the 'room'.
The two returned with a fresh look, it seems the two had an great conversation while going to the bathroom.Gwen assisted the woman back to her bed and she came back next to Caspian.
"So, mind telling me about the story?"
Caspian had to think if he wanted to say about the things he thought, the similarities of the book and the reality. He take a quick glance at the older woman before sighing.
"I—"
!!
"Oh, your awake Caspian."
Adelaide marched towards the male, ruffling the pink locks. A warm smile on her face, it's actually common to see the headmaster smile like that, but he bet that students still be in shocked to see that.
"Grandma, I'll join tonight."
Adelaide shake her head, thought so.
She already predicted that Caspian will participate the patrol tonight because he missed yesterday.
"You need to rest Caspian, I should have know better. I even scold your brother becuase of the lack of responsibility."
Adelaide greeted the woman on the other side, she sat down at the end of the bed.
"It's partly my fault, I should have never even slept and went to class."
Gwen and Adelaide looked at each other
before sighing. Caspian is still a child, Adelaide should know better to not pushed his limits, knowing that he also collapse on the first day because of the weak body.
His weak body is weaker than a child at the age of 5. No wonder why he drained so much after using a little bit of mana, but he felt proud knowing that he actually is fine while getting rid of the fire at the Modan.
"Wait, you have night shift Caspian?"
Shit.
Caspian quickly thought of a lie to tell her, she is also can't know about this operation.
"Uhhh...."
"Yes, you see we are lacking patrollers and Caspian here, volintary to help us. He is a really good kid you know." Adelaide pretend to wipe of a fake tear escaping her eye.
"Then, can I also be one Headmaster?"
Gwen catched both of them stunned.
There's nothing wrong if Gwen wanted to be one, but there's also a possibility that she can be a target of the mole. Caspian inly smiled as he turned to look at the Headmaster.
"Can you make her one as a patroller Grandma? I will take responsibility for her."
Gwen eyes sparkle, she turned to look at the Headmaster and using her tactic, the puppy eyes. The most dangerous weapon there is.
Adelaide only sighed, she is really weak against children. She got up and fixed her clothes.
"Fine, but if anything happened to the both of you, im going to kill you personally."
Caspian and Gwen got shivered down to their spines, the Headmaster rarely be like that and only specific people got to see her other side, just like what happened back there In Modan but of course Caspian didn't get to see it since he is busy freezing the houses.
"Is she always that scary?"
"...."
"So, mind telling me about the story?"
------
Gwen left after a couple of minutes pursuing the male to read the book, she wanted to also read the book but Caspian returned the book to Ms.Claire.
He didn't even want to finished it, it only give him creeps. He even wanted to burned that book down because of the uneasy feeling, but that would be a waste.
Caspian is again excused from all the class, seeing how his body is still weak and everything. He wanted to chat with Maxine and Stein also, but seeing the mysterious smile on the Headmaster, he shut his mouth.
Adelaide told Caspian to follow her, she didn't want to let Caspian out of her sight when Valerie mtioned about him being controlled, that's what Valerie told the Headmaster.
There is also a posibility of being controlled but how? Unless, th—
"Arthur?" Adelaide suddenly said, Caspian quickly tip toe to peak over from the Headnaster shoulder.
Arthur is indeed outside the office, with him leaning on the wall with a deep expression on his face. He is clesrly waiitng for the Headmaster but he saw someone else too, behind Grandma's back.
"Caspian...?" He slowly breath out, Caspian peak out his head at the side with a goofy smile. "Heyo."
Arthur quickly walk and grab Caspian shoulder, Adelaide took a step at the side. Allowing Arthur to have more access to the younger male.
"You always get in danger Caspian! I heard that you almost jump off fron the bridge! What the hell are you thinking? I know that you love me very much but I was only gone for a day!"
"Uhm..."
Caspian fave flushed red when Arthur said that he is inlove with him, how would he reacted to that?!
"Arthur, stop scaring the poor boy."
"Scaring? Grandma you can see that im scolding him! Im like his wife or something but that's better than a friend scolding him!"
Caspian eyes blinked a couple of times.
"Eh?"
