踏進殘破大門，手上火光照亮是一所宏大的大廳。黯淡光線從天井破洞照入，稍微能一覷整個空間全貌。然而，比四周景象更率先為人注意的，是大廳中央一隻龐然大物。散發微光的身體盛載著深沉怨憤及悲嘆，在它身體形成一個個猙獰人臉。碩大爪子握著一支飾有工具的棍棒，伴隨其陰沉的呼吸聲，彷彿能在遠處撕破疙瘩雞皮。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNzre3FLmZ

「你呀！快把測量儀還我！沒有它你要我怎樣逃出你這破屋子？」在牠之下竟然站著一個身穿淺粉花裙的嬌小女孩，她用力拍打著巨獸前腿，伸出雙手似要奪回在牠手上的棍棒。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K6281v3fg

「吼吼！」巨獸突如向天井咆哮，把女孩嚇得應聲彈開，竄到阿爾法身後，牢牢握著他那塊靛藍披風。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8ldJmrpPx

「我感覺到牠身上有股不尋常的力量。」阿爾法把女孩帶到伊咘西萊身邊後，便一把衝前，劍光朝巨獸劃出青藍軌跡，龐大驅體接住如此一擊，正以體重之勢伸出巨臂壓向阿爾法。「蹡」的一聲臂爪落到盾牌上，其反作用力又讓阿爾法得以後躍與巨獸拉開距離。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3URyAD3Sf

「我……我們去找個地方躲著吧。」戰鬥令大廳上方燈飾在衝擊下搖搖欲墜，碎石開始沿天花板破洞掉下，伊咘西萊便趁勢輕拍女孩的肩膀，便稍帶害羞地拉著她急步走向一旁的短櫃，打算躲藏起來。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxHOZlqLJY

在兩位小孩逃到衣櫥後躲藏之際，殊不知巨獸目光早就注意到他們身上，利爪早就瞄準幼小的頭顱。見狀，阿爾法二話不說，丟出手上盾牌，剛巧擊中牠的左手，再度把其注意投放到他身上。巨獸隨即怒視阿爾法，「吼」的一聲把手中棍子當成鏢槍擊向阿爾法，見棍子從視角直接飛來，他再次召喚盾牌格擋著，把它彈到大廳角落地面上。才剛回過神來又見巨爪正要撲來，他側起身子以大腿俐落地踢開巨獸，盾牌再次抵住了攻勢。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwvphvsT7B

阿爾法正與巨獸拉鋸間，貝塔早就伏於到上方，抓住水晶燈的掛鉤等待時機作出伏擊。見巨獸正專注著阿爾法，便鬆開手滑到燈飾上一躍而下，朝巨獸頭部砍下來。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiVOqtnxq8

「影落斬！」稍顯得意的她還不忘給這串動作起名字。突襲一擊看似天衣無縫，但她並沒有如預期中擊中要害，銳刃貫進巨獸碩大的背部，刺激讓牠受到驚嚇，背彎一個伸展，便順勢把她甩到地上。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQyODbrtth

「可能會有點骨折和擦傷吧。不過阿爾法會治好她的，妳不用擔心……」伊咘西萊臉帶惶恐喃道，待女孩鬆開手後他隨即把雙翼收到體內，不留半點痕跡。而早就發現翅膀的少女亦只是盯著伊咘西萊背面，眉頭稍皺，不發一語。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ngk2fqgzm

「嗚……」貝塔整個人跌坐在地上，還差點弄得骨折，只好無奈對著阿爾法苦笑。而阿爾法瞧了她一眼，便不得不提起劍盾連忙招架猛烈攻勢，再也無暇理會她。他趁巨獸開始疲憊之際準備施放最後一擊，只見他甩了甩劍，劍尖在前方劃出一道光陣，再伸出持盾的左手碰觸陣法射出一束耀眼光束。光束打在巨獸身體上，並在其身上轟出一個洞口。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjOaIrYb7v

「吼嗚……」幾經辛苦，巨獸終於應聲倒下，溶融驅體化作一團光霧，瞬間阿爾法亦彷彿感到散佈於整座大宅各處的意識亦伴隨著龐然大物消失於空宅中。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJMGW38Z2A

「哇哇，我的寶貝！」而在巨獸被打倒之後，女孩隨即衝前撿回她的棍棒，拿著白手帕清抹遺在末端的污跡。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJG3Hridem

而當阿爾法收起武器，靜默下來，便聽見光團中響起一把柔和聲線向他答謝：440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxFO28muj6

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC0YBt0UOp
再次聽見「神族」一詞從逝者口中道出，霎時又令阿爾法呆站原地，望向巨獸消逝那處，反覆思索著自己形同被迷霧覆蓋的身世。然而，微弱抽泣聲又淡然傳入耳朵，他才注意到一旁的貝塔仍痛苦地半躺地上等待著他，他亦只好暫時放下疑慮，與伊咘西萊一同急步走到貝塔跟前架起陣術醫治她身上的傷。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEXVHgRBe4

「我……又失敗了呢。」隨著紅腫漸漸消去，她也能夠站起來，痛楚亦不再蔓延至全身。只是，帶點傲嬌的性格讓她每想到自己沒有阿爾法那般擅戰和敏銳，就會羞紅著臉，為此感到一點羞愧。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSztdJYUaME

「對了姐姐，這顆藥丸吞下去可以止痛和加快傷處自愈的，來試試吧！」她又從吊在棍子上的小袋取出一顆藥丸，再道：440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUC3ognVyz

「柔伊自家研發！保證一天內見效！」聽她熱情奔放說著，貝塔也只好接過她手中小巧顆粒，一把丟到嘴裡。就在嚥下瞬間，一股爽朗薄荷味直衝脈絡，連僅餘絲毫痛感也被抹去。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwJboTOkJj

然而，在答謝恩人之後，這位少女這下才記起自己到這個地方的來由，害她要花費半天勞力爬到大宅頂部，再撬開一個小洞從上方進入這個地方。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EoWGsVCok

她急忙跑到大廳盡頭的書架上，邊拍著塵埃邊從書堆中尋尋覓覓，從中挑出數本殘舊而厚重的書本，欣喜若狂地呼道：「這些應該就是派恩哥哥要的東西了。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLzCXyf3OZ

「魔導大學。穿過這個森林就是了。」她點了點棍棒一側讓光子把其收納起來之後，便抖起兩臂，使力捧起如大石般重的典籍，步履蹣跚朝大門方向步行。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeGJIvSmZB

「一個人怎樣搬這些重物，我們送妳回去吧。」而伊咘西萊見女孩逐漸遠去，便上前快手從女孩的書山上取去三本厚籍。然而，過後女孩倒是能正常步行，伊咘西萊自身則快要被重物壓垮。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BGMDwzeXC

「太好了！對了，我叫做柔伊，今後也請多多指教喔！」女孩向三人道謝之餘，亦不忘向三人自我介紹。往出口的路上她又提著書本靠近阿爾法，再道：「那個……你是阿爾法，對嗎？你真的很強喔，今後還請多多指教喔。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiraN6Ug7G

面對柔伊的讚嘆，阿爾法還是稍為沒法理解她的動機，只目無表情地點著頭回應。而看到阿爾法這麼一個反應，柔伊便半瞇起眼看著對方，嘟著嘴心想：「這個哥哥是怎麼回事了，呆呆滯滯的……不過這下我又多一個研究對象了。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZNUVuI4Ui

好不容易重臨外界，滂沱大雨亦伴隨亡靈的逝去而平息下來。一行快步踏過林間，一片花田旋即映入眼簾，帶動春天氣息纏繞眾人身邊的每段空氣，撲鼻花香濃烈而低調，像把片刻前那凝重氛圍一一抹去。在萬重花姿中屹立著一所聳高而古典的城堡，那正正就是阿爾法等人的下一個目的地—不屬於任何國家屬地的魔導大學。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJDeyBp37e
