[Astaroth The Sexiest Demon Arc: Chapter_005 (Buddy!)]

Dusk turn down the day, but Elan is still stepping towards [Dormitory Ahad II]. A fairly old three-story building is located in the Angkringan complex, east of the main gate and west of the main academy building. The courtyard in front of it is quite wide, and on the other side there are the soothing trees.

"Woaaaah... bigger than my house," he said as he stared at the dorm in front of him. "But Kang Aris's house is twice as big as this, right? Is Kang Aris at home, huh~~"

He continued his steps into the dormitory. Someone came out and waved at him. His face was familiar, Elan had to squint to see his figure because the dusk light was quite dazzling.

"Oh my?! Danu?" He murmured accelerating his pace.

"You're in this dorm too," said Danu.

"Yes... where else? I heard this is a special dorm for beginner classes."

"Haha... you can't make a nice talk... so, how about it, do you wanna look at our new room?" He asked with a question.

Elan paused for a moment and said, "Our new room? Do not tell me if... "

"Don't stop here... just look at it, hehe..."

Danu opened the main door and the two entered together. Inside the dorm. Quite spacious central room, decorated with a chandelier—light crystal chandelier, round pillar with crystal light above it.

"Hooo... they use crystal light to replace lamps and fire candles. Only now, I saw this amount of it... " said Elan so enthusiastically staring at the front atrium.

"Come on... the room on the 3rd floor," interrupted Danu who was also impatient with his actions.

Someone greeted these two students.

"Welcome to [Dormitory of Ahad II]!" He greeted kindly, "So this is the last new student, is not it?" He asked as he looked at Elan with enthusiasm.

"Yes, that's right Mang Karman... he is... Elan. We met in front of the Academy gate before..." Danu replied more courteous than usual.

"Anu—"

"That's right..." said Danu remembering something, "He is the Head of the Dormitory of Ahad II, his name is Karman Bandar. You can tell by name, if he is my uncle, so you can call him Mang Karman like me."

"Ahaha... that's right. Danu rarely has friends of his age, I hope you can continue to be friends with him, Den Mas Elan."

"Of course, Mang Karman," Elan said, bowing politely. "We are friends... Mang Karman can also call me Elan, like Danu."

"Maybe I'll call you, Den Elan..." smiled then continued, "so what are you waiting for Danu? Hurry bring Den Elan to his room..." he orders more firmly.

"Aren't it is... Mang Karman, the one who made us stop here, huhh..."

Danu went first, leading the way to Elan's new room for the next few years, maybe. The two of them went up the first ladder and continued up the stairs to the second floor. Once on the third floor, turn left and continue walking through one room and stop in the second room . Written on the door and walls [Room No. 72] with a crystal decoration of light on it.

But... Elan was still staring at the room right in front of the stairs. There was a trail of aura coming out of the room which made him a little disturbed.

"What's up?" He asked, "it's just a dormitory library."

"Ah, no... just a little curious. So, that's the library... " Elan said to Danu.

He turn the door handle, then pushed the door open wide. Appears fairly spacious room with two queen-sized bed in addition exact in the left side beside the bathroom, two desks in the right side, a set of gray sofa, a window with a door towards the small terrace outside the room.

"Starting today, here's our room!" he exclaimed as if to present a gift to someone. "Ah... maybe this is not as big as your room first, but, quite comfortable ko..."

"Of course, it's not as big as my first room. Precisely this is better," he said with a smile.

Danu did not quite understand what Elan meant, but he did not bother and rushed to get him packed up and out to queue up some food for dinner.

...

A tower stands at the center of the Chyrma Academy. This place is a place where Wizards and Pendekars spend their day in addition to teaching the students of the academy.

Each floor contains a room full of books, parchments, ancient scrolls, magic tools and other files that each master uses. Each odd floor is inhabited by Master Pendekar and even by Master Magus of Wizard up to fourth floor, on the fifth floor and beyond can only be accessed by the Principal, Grandmaster Mandra himself. Meanwhile, the seventh floor is always locked with a special seal.

"Principal Mandra, it's me, Master Sadi. I came to give you a report today!" He exclaimed at the door of the fifth floor.

A small Magic Circle appeared on the doorknob and disappeared.

"Come in!" Someone answered inside.

Master Sadi stepped into the fifth floor room. In some places there was a thick pile of leather-covered books and leaves, and there was also a scattered parchment nearby, at the far end of a closed window curtain, a table with a tall stack of books. Master Sadi's face was more serious than when he was in class.

"How..." said the voice behind the pile of books, "Is this a good enough report to hear," he continued peering through the pile of books.

"I think you will be more excited this year!" Cried Master Sadi.

"Ohh, is that right ?!"

"Yes, this year's students... more than we can expected. Some of them even have enough courage to challenge me... " Master Sadi said with a smile on his face. He begin to explain the sequence of todays event.

* Tap! *

His hand hit the document in front of him. Principal Mandra was rushing to look up to Master Sadi with hope and spirit.

"It's interesting!" He said with a subtle smile, his eyes glimmered with hope.

....

In [Room No. 72].

Both seemed satisfied with one of them patting the stomach so happy.

"This evening's food is very good. I hope they can prepare more bigger pieces of meat..." Elan said looking at Danu who was stroking his stomach.

"Haha... you really like to eat meat..." he laughed, "do not forget to eat vegetables, or else you can become a meat roll..."

"Hohh... likely, am I hear something wrong here, right? Someone who greedily eats meat and leaves vegetables, then quietly discards them on trashbag... says something about eating more vegetables? Do not make me laugh, 'Nu, haha..."

"Ehehe... I eat, even if only half of... piece," he looked away, "by the way, why are you making trouble with Senior Sister Asta?" He continued trying to change the subject.

Elan looked at him doubtfully then said, "Next time, eat more!" he exclaimed.

"Ah, yes-yes..." he replied lazily, "so, why?" Asked Danu again.

Elan, he just replied. "I do not understand her."

"Huh ?!" response Danu who astonished by him.

Generally when meeting with Asta Rose, they will say, "I like her" or "She is very beautiful and sexy, so I..." or any other kind of praise that flatter her. However, Elan is so strange because he looks like didn't have the slightest interested in Senior Sister Asta. At first Danu thought Elan was one of 'those'. But, after remembering his gaze at Master Diani and the gossip about her teasing the girl in front of the Ceremonial Hall, the thought was gone. 'So what?'' thought Danu who was so curious about the relationship of both.

"Never mind," Elan said closing the subject, "There's something more important. Maybe this is not the right question for you, but... Did you know how to learn Protective type of Magic?" Elan asked seriously.

'This kid... he's plain or how the hell... If other students are definitely thinking about how to approach Senior Asta. Basic ... maybe next time I ask again.'

Danu smiled and said, "Hm... I did not know about magic. From the beginning, I had no talent in magic. Maybe you can find out in the library... of course the school library! Because the one here, can only be accessed by those who have lived for a month."

Wondering, "Why we have to wait a month before, to use the library? Aren't we are also residents of Dormitory of Ahad II ..."

"That's the rule that the Head of the Dorm himself made. He said... "Those who want to use the Library have to get something from their respective teachers," and that is something I've heard may be only given within a month."

"So that's what it looks like... it will be quite troublesome," says Elan, who looks thoughtful.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me that you are the one who challenging Master Sadi for a Protective Magic test for another week, right? Haha," asked with a joke.

Elan's expression was even more tangled and hard to think.

Danu's laughter sounded strange when he saw the serious expression of Elan, "Ah, ha, ha... you really challenged him?" Danu asked once more to reassure.

"Ah, sure. It's me who challenges him."

Elan looks so relaxed as to say it, although beforehand his face quite hard.

"Hey, actually you're clever or stupid in anyway..." Danu added another strange fact about Elan in his amazement.

Regardless of what his friend said, Elan yawned and said, "Hnh~ I'll think about it tomorrow. This morning, we have to do the exercises, I think... run 20km routine—almost half the academy round, right?"

Elan picked up the blanket and began falling asleep on the bed, quietly facing the outside window.

"Heehh ?! Did he just sleeping like that? Does his life always flow just like that?" Said Danu increasingly surprised with his carefree appearance.

Danu thought longer before finally falling asleep. Both do not know what new students will face tomorrow. At least the morning exercise is the first thing they have to go through before going to the main event. Especially Elan, who has made a Senior, Asta Rose, annoyed and very upset every time they meet.

...

In Tower of Seven Floors.

"They'll know what they'll face tomorrow! Tonight, let them fall asleep!"

Master Sadi nodded and hurried out of the room, then immediately used the portal magic to return to his room.

"Elan... it's been a long time since we did not meet, buddy!" Murmured Principal Mandra gazing up at the moon through the window. "I thought you would let me live to keep this place forever..." he reminiscing some face a long time ago.

The face of Grandmaster Mandra was so calm and happy as he stared at the the bright crescent moon with stars around it in the sky. As if a long waited time had stopped in front of him and only a few steps for him to get out of this waiting game.

Notes:

Wizards normally can use all-round magic. But this type of Wizards is the weakest one, they only can use all-round magic with a small effect. So, basically... Wizards only learn two type magic to increase their potential. The two type is;

Protective Magic Type, one should learn it in the first place for protecting oneself and,

Offensive Magic Type, one should learn it for fight with Demon Beast and the like.

The other type of Magic is like, Defensive Magic Type, Elemental Magic Type, Movements Magic Type, Special Magic Type, etc. All of it is the Magic Type that one should reseach himself, except for Bloodline Magic Type.
