“Did he follow us?” asked Mirumi.

“Nope he won’t, he is supposed to be guarding the sacred books, he will never leave the place.” Replied Harmony

“So is he a bookworm?” questioned Mirumi.

“Not that, he is the guardian of knowledge, he guards those books, so as mortals or any other beings actually won’t know about the decent past.” answered Harmony.

Mirumi, at the verge of tiredness, fell on the bed. “Whew, it’s surely tiring to soar with that new power.”

“I think you just need more practice, it’s your first time invoking its power anyway. Give it more time. Now, get some rest, I need to go and check out something.” said Harmony and casted a spell to make Mirumi sleep soundly.

“Now… I need to search for the other locations of the trails… I wonder the locations are still the same and not damaged yet, it’s like… 50 years already.” thought Harmony and he flew off.

The next morning, a sudden meeting was conducted in the school’s conference regarding the Corridor.

“WHAT!? Someone went in the Corridor? You sure?” questioned the Head.

“Yes I guess so; the seal was released, by quite a promising scorer. And I suppose a Ritual was called too.” replied the Scout.

“This is insane, really. Who is that scorer? Comb the entire school today! I expect at least some clues!” commanded the Head.

And here we have Mirumi, who is getting ready for school, gets a sudden flash of vision, showing that today might not be a good day. She was puzzled as the surrounding she sees were some strange places that she never saw before.

Despite the warning, she doesn’t wish to skip school as she has an assignment to hand in today. Also, she decided not to tell Harmony regarding the foresight.

Reaching the school gates, it was filled with chaos, with strange people around, checking. It’s almost like an army boot camp. Thus Mirumi just walked in slowly, trying not to be noticed.

Thanks to her height, being short, she made it to the classroom and heard some students discussing about what happened yesterday evening.

“What’s with this commotion” pondered Harmony.

“I think… It’s regarding the corridor, we went in yesterday, didn’t we?” asked Mirumi.

“Something strange is going with this school, why did they want to protect that corridor when it could only be unsealed by a Scorer. Unless… But… there is no way.” thought Harmony.

“I thought Scorers like what I am, are known to be extinct? As in selected ones are Scorers, there’s almost no Scorer around.” asked Mirumi.

“Apart so, I would deny that. There are Scorers all around, just that they aren’t selected. A selected Scorer becomes a real Scorer or rather, we don’t really refer to the others as Scorers, they are basically known to adapt well to music and melodies that’s all.” explained Harmony.

“Mirumi, remain hidden till we get home. I sense trouble.” warned Harmony.

Everything was peaceful till evening, where Mirumi passed by the corridor…

“This is… NO WAY!” replied Harmony.

“It’s a reseal? The dragon can’t reseal, he doesn’t have a Scorer, unless there is a Scorer, more superior to Mirumi…” said Harmony.

Suddenly, someone came down the corridor, and took a glance at Mirumi.

“Hmm? Why are you… Wait… You are not normal. You are the Scorer we wanted!” said the Man.

Mirumi tried to run, but fell to the floor since she isn’t good at running at all. Soon, the management team surrounded her and brought her to a room she never been before.

“Waaaa help me Harmony….” cried Mirumi.

“Harmony? Where are.. you? “ pondered Mirumi.

Suddenly, a man came in, his figure seems more of a zombie, no undead. Holding a staff and the orb on the other hand and approached Mirumi.

“Muhahaha, so this is the Scorer they spoke of, kinda cute though. But… I afraid I can’t let you go.” the man said while laughing devilishly.

“I afraid your Harmony or I supposed your guardian? I think he is gone. Like right here…” the man shown Mirumi his hands.

Suddenly, a voice itched through Mirumi’s mind.

“Mirumi, put your hand on the wall. And chant, Erobos Exorcism.” said the voice.

Mirumi followed as she thought that was Harmony and got brought into another room, held by a hand.

“Sorry Mirumi, I’m late to save you, and I supposed you knew nothing about this school. Right? questioned the guy.

“You are… Estial?” asked Mirumi.

“Sorry that I didn’t tell u or anything. I’m a Scorer. But let’s chat later shall we? It seems that we are trapped in the school, or rather, the basement. Let’s get out of here first.” said Estail.

“Then… Harmony? What about him? I need to go save him!” said Mirumi.

“Don’t worry, he is with you, just that… This place seals the power of guardians. It’s meant to trap low-willed Scorers. Since they would rely on their guardians; Come, let’s go.” said Estail.
