Chapter 98 - The Last Moon (1/2)

Evan went out of the lake and calmly began to dress. He didn't care that Sana was looking at him right now, but the girl, on the other hand, was surprised by such a thing.

She quickly turned away and said loudly: ”You should at least give me a warning!”

The young man smiled and replied, ”So I did, you're just reacting too slowly. Okay, take your Azure Dandelions and show me the way to the Academy.”

Of course, Evan knew how to get to ”The Last Moon”, but he was sure that Sana, as a student of that Academy, knew a shortcut to it. If she often collects plants in the neighborhood, she must know it well.

Upon hearing Evan's words, the girl turned around, measured the young man with a glance and said: ”That coat looks good on you, too bad you have to say goodbye to it at the Academy.”

Evan looked at the girl puzzled, ”Why? Are there any strict rules about clothing at ”The Last Moon”?

Sana nodded: ”Yes, of course not all of them, but there are for outerwear like mantles and coats. I'm not wearing a mantle right now, but when I return to the academy, I'll have to wear a blue one.”

”Do all students wear blue mantles?” Evan asked in surprise. He didn't really want to change his appearance because of the school rules, but he knew there was hardly anything he could do about it.

Sana shook her head, ”No, I wear the blue mantle because I am a ”Creator”. Those who are ”Summoners” wear green mantles, and ”Amplifiers” wear yellow ones. Each student also has an emblem like this.”

The girl pointed to the round purple emblem on her chest.

”There are two kinds of emblem: white and purple, depending on what color is your ”Warp”.

”I see, well, is it time to go back to the academy?”

”Take your time, I'll show you the short way, but you have to help me with something.” With a smile on her face, Sana said.

”With what?”

”My teacher`s told me to gather not only the Azure Dandelions, but also the pits of the Purple Tree Fruit, it will take me a long time to do it myself, so your help won't hurt.”

<She's crafty, knows how to take advantage of a situation, but okay. If I help her, I'll get to the Academy faster and learn more about it.>

Evan thought to himself and quickly agreed.

”All right, but you're going to tell me what's being made out of these pits.

Sana nodded, and at the same moment, her ”Warp” was spinning. She needed somewhere to put her dandelions and pits, so she decided to create the necessary thing.

Whoosh.

Many thin branches appeared in the air and began to intertwine with each other, and in a couple of seconds they turned into a pretty basket.

Sana took the basket in her hands, plucked three Azure Dandelions and put them in it.

<Her control is at a pretty high level, I think I couldn`t have done something like that with my spell>.

”Come on, we need to get to the grove.” Sana said and headed towards the dense forest of Purple Trees.

They quickly reached the first tree and Sana plucked the yellow and blue fruit which taste Evan hadn`t liked so much.

Crack.

The girl easily broke it in two and pulled out an oval, brown pit.

”This fruit just tastes awful, apparently the pit has some special effects?” Asked Evan as he watched Sana pull the pit from the second fruit.
