Chapter 29 – A Human that can fly?

 At lunch time, Atsushi and Saya went to the school rooftop with Basuki after buying some ham sandwiches with cheese, mayonnaise, and lettuce. They had their own water bottles, too.

 "Man, everyone in class are from different backgrounds," Atsushi commented to Basuki, who was from 3 – B.

 "I know, right?" replied Basuki. "The Red Scarlet Army accepts all recruits regardless of background and country of origin."

Saya was happy to hear that but wondering if those students had their own guardian spirits, too.

Arriving there, they saw a girl with dark blue hair and black eyes talking to her guardian spirit, Balam.

 "Hi there, Baek Myeong," Basuki greeted her.

Upon hearing that, the girl, a Korean named Baek Myeong, turned around, "Oh, hi there, Basuki."

 "Woah, is she Korean?" Atsushi asked.

 "Yes, I am," Myeong said to him happily. "You must be Ikari Atsushi, right?"

 "Yes, I am."

 "Greetings," Balam greeted.

 "Who's that?" Atsushi raised a question.

 "This is Balam, Myeong's guardian spirit and a wind spirit one," Basuki said to him.

 "Oh, nice to meet you, Balam."

 "Nice to meet you, Atsushi," Balam responded with a bold voice.

 "Hi! My name is Saya," Saya greeted Balam. "I am Atsushi's mountain spirit."

 "Oh, okay, nice to meet you, too, Saya."

The three of them sat down to eat lunch.

Myeong had a simple bibimbap for lunch.

 "Wow, that looks delicious," Atsushi commented her lunch.

 "Yup, this is bibimbap, a well-known Korean dish," Myeong positively replied.

As they eat up, Myeong asked Atsushi if he was originally from the Imperial Demon Army.

 "Yes, I am," Atsushi replied in confirming. "Why?"

 "Nothing, I'm just asking. Why did you transfer here?"

 "Well… personal reasons."

 "I see."

 "He wants to be here because he doesn't want to suffer hard in that strict faction," Basuki explained to Myeong.

 "Oh, okay," Myeong responded.

Atsushi won't mind it at all.

 After eating lunch, Myeong stood up and decided to show Atsushi her ability granted by Balam. "This is one of my abilities," she said to him with positive confidence.

 "Okay!" Atsushi was anticipating for it.

So, Myeong took a deep breath, and Balam gave her power to levitate from the ground.

Myeong then levitated a few meters from the rooftop.

Atsushi and Saya are very, very amazed while Basuki and Kawah already knew that.

 "What?"

 "She can fly?!"

 "Yes, Balam granted her the wind ability and an ability to fly," Basuki explained.

Myeong then flew around as proof.

Atsushi and Saya are equally amazed by it.

 "So cool!"

With that Myeong landed back on the rooftop safely. Atsushi then stood up and said, "My turn!" 

To Saya. "Let's do this." 

Saya nodded and gave her power and strength to activate his aura ability, shrouding Atsushi in blue aura.

Myeong and Balam are amazed by it, partly because they know that the aura ability is a rare one.

 "Wow…"

 "Amazing…"

With that, Saya deactivated Atsushi's ability.

 "See?" Atsushi said. "Cool, isn't?"

 "Yeah, it was," Myeong commented in amazement.

Balam said a similar comment, too.

 "Thanks, Myeong-chan!"

Myeong then turned around while blushing a bit.

Is she in love with him?
