62 Ch. 62 Rumor (1/2)

Hokuto and Shin Ha arrived at the SS club room simultaneously where Scarlet and Edward were waiting for them. Hokuto didn't find any way to help Kazuto's inamorata, but he calmed them down by saying that Niken would be fine.

As for Shin Ha, he managed to find where the time-controllers came from but could not find the island. During his search, he heard that the island had disappeared since being attacked by a group of unknown elementalists twelve years ago.

”So does anyone know the whereabouts of the young princess?” Scarlet asked.

Shin Ha shook his head. ”There is no one know. But I heard an interesting rumor, maybe you want to hear it.” Said Shin Ha seriously, ”I heard the time-controllers who managed to escape, went separate ways and hid. They waited for the right moment to go back to the island.

Unfortunately, there was someone who sucks out their energy causing death. At present, there were only a few left somewhere. The one who targetted time-controllers had freaking amazing tracking abilities. The target will never be able to get out of his grasp. I also heard a rumor that someone has seen this person.”

”What are his description characteristics?” Hokuto couldn't let this criminal passed. He would find him and bring him to the Hakim to be punished.

”He has two disc-like blades and had white hair. This person is also seen floating in the air. There is only one that has these characteristics in this world.”

Scarlet held her breath. She had a suspicion of the person's identity yet she did not dare to believe it.

”Elementalist knight of the Gale.” Hokuto's answer made Scarlet's knees weak.

”I also think the same thing.” Replied Shin Ha. ”But ... that's impossible, right? I mean, the Elementalist knight was supposed to protect humans and maintain peace. He wouldn't hurt humans let alone suck the energy to death.”

Hokuto seemed to think. ”You're right. Perhaps there's someone who wanted to tarnish our reputation. It was just a baseless rumor. We still don't know the truth yet. We need to investigate it carefully.”

”You are right.” Shin Ha agreed right away.

”Assuming that the person was a white knight, could all of us defeat him?” Scarlet's question surprised Hokuto and Shin Ha, while Edward who heard it only sighed.

”Eight? Who?” asked Shin Ha, whose feelings began to get uncomfortable with the direction of this conversation.

”Of course eight of us. With other knights. Do you think we have a chance against him?”

”That's a difficult question. Unlike us who only have either defense or attack mastery, the white knight has both of them. Besides that, he also could control the weather like me. It's possible to win against him with all of us, but I doubt that. I'm not too sure.”

”Besides, why are you so sure that the one who killed all time-controllers was the white knight?” asked Shin Ha curiously.

”Didn't you said yourself he had disc-like blades and a white hair?”

”Didn't we agree we won't believe it as it was a baseless rumor?”

”Just assuming it was true. We need to make a preparation.”

Both Shin Ha and Hokuto looked at each other in confusion. The men agreed there was something serious the girl was hiding. But they didn't ask anything. They would let Scarlet spill it out whenever she was ready.

”We need to find her!” Scarlet shouted rather loudly made the men jumped out of shock.
