So, Sakuma killed a man and thrown him outside the tower. Sakuma was shocked and he wasn't brave enough to go near the window. But then he stayed silent for a while and started pulling his hair. He felt something heavy hanging on his hair. He kept pulling it and he found that the man was still hanging on his hair, and still unconscious. He felt relieve, he slumped to the ground and accidentally let go off his hair. The man fell again but Sakuma managed to pull his hair back.
"I almost killed a man, twice!" he mumbled to himself.
Now he put the poor man on the carpet. He fixed the broken window with a spell. And now, he started to examine the man.
What should I do now! I almost killed him twice! Oh, did he hurt somewhere? Should I revive him with a spell? I guess it's better if I do that.
Sakuma started casting some reviving spell at the man. After he done, the man moaned and opened his eyes. He tried to study what happened and where he was right now. Then the man's dark ruby eyes saw Sakuma sit beside him.
"Are you alright? Did you hurt somewhere?" Sakuma began to worry.
"I'm okay, I'm okay. Where am I?" asked the man.
"Um… you're in my house." Sakuma told him nervously. Well he can't tell him that he was in a magic tower.
Wait. Sakuma thought to himself. I thought only wizard and witch who can see the tower? Does that mean that he…
"Stand back!" Sakuma retreat as he pulled his silver hair from the man.
"Huh?" the man looked confused.
"Just stay where you are!" Sakuma yelled at the man.
"What's wrong?" the man asked. What's wrong with this guy? He thought.
"A-are you by any chance a wizard?" Sakuma asked the man, hiding his hair.
"Yeah. Why?"
Sakuma gasped and moved farther from the man.
"Hey, what's wrong with that? Aren't you a wizard too?" the man asked.
"How do you know that?" Sakuma asked sarcastically.
"Your eye patch. That sign on your eye patch is a sign to seal a hidden power!"
I never know that… Sakuma thought. Mother never told me anything about my eye patch.
"Wow, such a long hair you have here!" the man took Sakuma's hair and stunned. "I can't imagine how you washed it, hahaha."
"Don't touch it!" Sakuma yelled at the man.
"S-sorry!" the man let off the hair. "What's wrong with your hair? I mean, why can't I touch it?"
"My mother said that I can't let anyone touch it because it contained power!" Sakuma said to the man.
"Pfft- hahahahaha" The man started laughing.
"What? What's so funny?" Sakuma asked as he crossed his arms.
"You silly, hair can't hold a witch or wizard's power!" The man laughed.
"But, how come I can't cut my hair?"
The man reached for his pocket and pull out a small book. It was written Magical Academy on the book's cover. The man moves his finger and began to open the book. He examined the page like he was looking for something.
"Ah'ha! Come here." The man ordered Sakuma to come near him. But Sakuma shook his head as a sign of no. The man sighed and begin read aloud.
"The silver hair you're having is the hair of the ice dragon."
"What do you mean by that?" Sakuma interrupted.
"Means that one of your parents must have the power of the ice dragon, and the only thing that could cut your hair is the claw of the ice dragon itself. But the dragon races have been distinguished centuries ago and so the dragons. But there's a believed that the dragon races will be reincarnated in the future." The man continued. "There are several types of dragon in this world: Fire, Wind, Water, Lightning and Ice dragon. And the people who believed in the dragon said that there will be 6 chosen people who are the reincarnated of the dragon races. And one of them is you."
"Then what's the relation with my long hair? I mean, everyone could have this kind of hair color too." Sakuma won't lose. He won't believe with what did the man said.
The man opened his book again and started read aloud. "There's a believed that said about the characteristic of the reincarnations. Water dragon reincarnation will have a pink hair and he/she can't stand 10 minutes without water. They can also hold their breath underwater. The fire dragon reincarnation will have his/her eye brows look like a lightning spark. And I have no idea why. The wind and lightning dragon reincarnations will not show their characteristic from their appearance, but more from their power. It will be easy to be found because lightning and wind power have been buried centuries ago too and they said that there will be no people who can possess those powers except the reincarnation of the dragon."
"Okay… go on…" Sakuma said.
"The last one is the characteristic of the reincarnation of the snow dragon. She or he will have a silver-unbreakable-hair. This reincarnation could only have his/her hair cut with the snow dragon claw." The man closed his book. "So, do you understand now?"
Sakuma nodded. He can't believe that his mother never told him anything about this.
"Now please believe me. I'm not here to hurt you, okay?" the man said. He now walked toward Sakuma and pulled out his hand. Sakuma took his hand and stood on his feet. They smiled to each other.
"So, what's your name?" Sakuma asked.
"Kidou Yuuto, but everyone call me Kidou. You?"
"Sakuma Jirou, you can call me Sakuma."
"Well then Sakuma, I want you to come with me to Magical Academy." Kidou pulled Sakuma's hand and ready to jump off the window.
"No, no! Mother would get mad if I leave this tower!" Sakuma let go of Kidou's hand.
"But you need to go there! You're a wizard and you barely know nothing about this world!"
"At least if I stay here I won't get bullied like I used to!" Sakuma shouted at Kidou.
"Bullied? By who?"
"Don't you get it? I'm an orphanage and no one loves me! The villagers hated me and they always called me a cursed child."
"Then how about that person you call your 'mother'?" Kidou pushed him.
"She saved me from those villagers and took care of me all this time. She treated me like his son and so I can call her mother in return."
They boys grew silent by Sakuma's answer.
"Don't worry, Sakuma. I won't take you to that village." Kidou said with a gentle voice and took Sakuma's hand. "I was going to take you to another village."
"But I thought, there's only one village in this area and the nearest village from here is so far away." Sakuma confused.
"Not exactly." Kidou pulled Sakuma's hand and ready to jump. "I'm taking you to my village. The village that's full of witches and wizards. Normal human couldn't see or feel it. It's the village for people with powers, like us." Kidou wear his goggle and snapped his fingers. Sakuma's hair started to move and they tied themselves together.
"What-?" Sakuma tried to ask.
"Don't worry. I only make your hair looks shorter." Kidou jumped out from the window and he pulled Sakuma's hands and soon they started floating.
Maybe it would be okay of I left the tower for a while before mother got back. Sakuma thought to himself.
Kidou pulled Sakuma closer to him.
"Shall we?"
Sakuma: Cool! So I'm the reincarnation of a dragon race!
Mochi: Thanks to me!
Sakuma: I know, I know~ then how about Kidou?
Mochi: You're going to find it out on the next chapter! w)/
