Location of Hikaru and sana- Henth region ( Region under Hana's Father-Hecter)

Nefrim made more connections with people in whom he saw his own profit. People working under him increased not by a great number but still some who willing to give away their life joined Nefrim.

So did his wealth increase. Which he used for his plans.

Time - Middle of 5th month of training

Location of Hikaru and sana- Mountain near the ground route to Island.

Hikaru and Sana were training on the mountain path. Humans were rarely seen around that region.

They take a break. And wipes off all the sweat

"You are improving rather quickly than my prediction." Said Sana

" It's already more than 5 months, if i hadn't improved that would have been weird"

" you are a great learner not anyone can master magic, sword, and also be a joker( who wields power of jokers of pre era)"

" It's because of my teacher, her sword play captivated me and in no time i become more and more interested in it"

Sana covered her face with the towel, hiding her little smile.

"It's been quiet some time when I last called them"

"Oh, are you talking about the jokers power"

"Yup, should I check if it still works"

"I don't know much about jokers but i thinks it not a good idea to call them for no reason"

Hikaru thought for a while then stood up. Walk a little far from Sana.

"Stay a little far, it can be dangerous"

" I told you it's not-".

"I call for one of the jokers" Hikaru shouted

Black. It was all black like someone changed day time to night but the sky had nothing but two half moons. The two half moons descended a little. Hair falls down like someone changed the direction of gravity, the two half moons become more visible, they are earrings , slowly a forehead also becomes visible.

Your mind would think the next thing to come should be eyes, but there were no eyes nor there was a nose.

Lips become visible, on that whole grey face there were only lips. Pure Red reminds you of blood with a, lifted up due to a faint smile. The mouth opened a little, you can see the whiteness of the teeth on the gray canvas.

Then came neck and chest, it was a woman. She stopped descending after her belly button became visible.

The only thought that came to Hikaru's mind seeing this was that he had made a big mistake. Sana couldn't move a finger. The jokers have the ability to make others fear them. They release mana in a way that makes all other beings' survival instincts kick in and so that they dare to approach them.

" Ahh! There you are Hikaru." Said she while licking her lips.

"Whats the reason you have called me"

' Think, think , think , think a way out of it, i can't say i just want to test that my power is still working or not. If I remember correctly I faintly remember seeing women among the 5 jokers. I wanted to see if there were any women among them out of curiosity but it was not a good idea to call them for nothing and I still did it. Guess there is only one way out.' thought Hikaru

Hikaru bowed his head as lower as he can while standing, Sana without moving a muscle glances towards Hikaru

" I am very sorry. I just wanted to see if my power still works" said Hikaru ‘Tell the truth.’

Hikaru was sweating hard from the training or from the fear no one could tell. The woman closed her slightly open mouth giving expression of disappointment with her lips only.

" is that the only reason you called me"

Hikaru lifted his a head a little and said

" yes and i am very sorry about that"

" Aren't you scared of us. Your existence can be vanished in a second by us if you call us for such things. We already told you we can't interfere with life on this world"

" As for calling you for such a trivial thing, I am so sorry. without thinking it through i called you, it was my stupidity. But i don't know why, i just can't get scared of you that much"

The woman was shocked by hearing it.

Sana turned her face toward hikaru and stared at him while thinking

'What are you saying? Do you have a wish to die idiot'

" I do get scared a little but not much that I can't even speak against you."

"Not even after seeing my appearance"

"I was shocked but not scared. Rather than being scared, the only thought that came to my mind was......." Hikaru paused thinking he shouldn't say any more than this

"was?"

" Nothing i forget"

" you didn't forget it, you just don't want to say it. speak up what was it?"

"...............l" Hikaru muttered

" what?"

"That what a beautiful woman you are" said Hiakru in just enough volume to be heard by that woman

Sana's eye widened

"is it a sarcasm" said the woman in anger

"No No, i am being honest." said hikaru while looking towards the woman with his pure eyes.

The woman laughed after hearing it and said

" You are a weird human, most people get scared by this face and you are saying it's beautiful. But I can tell that you are not lying from your voice."

Hikaru and sana felt a little relieved after the woman laughed.

"But I can't just go back without doing anything and to punish you let me give you a little demo of what others would have done if you called them for no reason."

The woman raised her hand and pointed toward the sea. There was an iceberg there which they could barely see. The woman altered their vision so they could see it. The ice berg burst and the area under it disappeared leaving behind a big hole in the sea and a little far from there on the upper north land of HOLY CONTINENT where not any creature lived, it was mostly forest area, there was a great blast which resulted in a some part of the continent separated and drifted away in sea.

" It was just a little demo, i will let you off hook this time don't repeat the same mistake"

The woman went back the same way she came.The scene changed back to normal. Hikaru was scolded by Sana for not listening to her. Hikaru promised her that he will not make the same mistake again. Then they continued their training.

The area around the ice berg was the habitat of some Dren. Which resulted in sudden appearances of Dren near The Island. Their usual habitat was extreme up north of The Island.

A meeting was held between people of MIXED RACE CONTINENT and HOLY CONTINENT regarding that blast. No culprit was found and the matter stayed unresolved. The people of HOLY CONTINENT and MIXED RACE CONTINENT had not very good relations before the incident but it became worse after that incident.People of Holy continent doubted Mixed race continent for that incident.

Time-A Month before their departure

Location of Hikaru and sana - Going back to the village in Etos region from a dungeon

A ship sailed to HOLY CONTINENT from the upper north ground route and it reached the upper part of HOLY CONTINENT. People from MIxed race continent were not allowed to set foot on Holy continent land. But people from HOLY CONTINENT can go to MIXED RACE CONTINENT , it was a deal between them after a war between these two continents 900 years ago.
