46. The Hidden World (8)
"with this the Mock Battle ended!" Venti declared
"and it's the end of this year Preparation Class, Congratulations! With this you all officially member of our Crimson Eagle!" Venti applause, with her lead the others followed applause congratulating themselves
The Guest remain indifferent they just following the mood to clap their hands, but the Numbers most of them collapsed in relief, they achieved their dream or they achieved the first step toward their dream on this day, some of them even cried, with them being officially members of Crimson Eagle support will come toward their orphanage
"Lex! Thank you! it's all thanks to you!" Max full blown crying on the spot beside Lex
"why are you even grateful to me!?" Lex was confused he can't connect the link between Max joined Crimson Eagle and him
"wait…" He realized something "If you think that you came this far because of me then throw away that thinking as far as you can, remember this you came this far everything is your own effort! Don't underestimate the Crimson Eagle!"
"un" Max nodded but still crying joyful tears
"haa~~, this child…" Lex patted his back softly, when he took a peek at Venti, Venti was looking at him too She gave him a smile
(ah! Looks like she heard what I say just now… I don't think I said something that can offend them..."
*brrr
(ooohh~ I felt like a Frog in front of Snake, my instinct warning me not to get involved with her at every passing time!)
(she's sadist quirk overflowed sometimes, but I knew she's a good person… she's always considerate with us, she did not need to wait for us yet… she gave us time to let out our feelings)
After a few minutes
*claps
Venti clapped her hand gathering the attention of all freshmen "I knew you all happy, but we still had things that needed to be done today, for Numbers we gave you one week of time to choose which path you're going to follow among us high executive, on this period of one week you're allowed to visit every path, as for the Guest I hope you all can participate on this one week too, familiarize yourself with every path you can attend"
"for now… let's introduce the ten high executive" Venti walked back to the middle of the training ground, but the training ground has disappeared
"""!!?"""" everyone shocked when they saw the training ground replaced with a high platform, there's one seat on the platform, Venti went toward it
And when she sat down
*flaashh
With a flash of light another nine chair appear on Venti left and right side in the shape of half circle. While the Freshmen stood on the middle of that half circle, it's like they are ready to be judged
Lex observed the other nine chair, every chair has a person sat on it, and he recognizes one of them.
(Vera Crimson… well, she's the leader it's obvious!)
From Lex's view, from the most left,
An Old Man with white hair and a strand of red hair, he wore a military uniform which is Crimson Eagle official uniform, they seemed similar but the different, the one which executives wore looks much more beautiful and special
'ho~ho~ho~"
(the old man laughed like an old man… aaa!! Is this what they called Old Man's leeway!? I knew I said some bullshit just now, but this old man looks handsome even at that age! Kugh! Ok, to appease my old self who can't step on that realm in my past life, lets call him a Dandy Old Man! From now on…)
"we got a very promising young man here~, congratulations fresh blood~, I am Kuri Crimson, the First seat" after he said that, Kuri touched his sword hilt which rested on his lap
!!!!!
The freshmen felt it to their bones, cold sweat dripping from their face, but no one can move
(w-what is that!? It feels like I just got killed by a sword!! Dangerous! That dandy old man so f**king dangerous!!! I must avoid slipping out and call him Dandy Old Man in front of him…)
"geez, why did you do that!?" Venti complained *clap *clap she clapped her hands twice, the freshmen felt like they just freed from restraint some of them even collapsed to his knees on the spot
"done! Well then you all knew me already Venti Crimson, the second seat, defensive path…" then her eyes started to glint in a dangerous light as she stared straight to Lex "…oh I almost forgot. Lex you can follow my path too!"
Lex can feel the chill to his spine, (take one wrong steps, I will open gate to the new world! That's something I must avoid at all cost!)
"Ahaha, you must be a joking teacher! I'm a 'Guest'"
"the rule said, The Guest isn't necessary to follow the path! But it doesn't mean Guest can't follow a path"
"gee!" Lex blurted out (aaaaahhhhh!!!! I dug the wrong escape hole!!! What tooo dooooo!! Aaaaaa!!)
"leave it at that, I'm sure he's interested to watch the other path too, it's not too late to invite him later" The one who stopped Venti was Vera
(angel~~, angel has descended~~, wait… there's a real angel over there!!) Lex peeked at Cleos
(aaa~ who cares to me she's an angel, she gave me a helping hand when I almost dragged to enter the new world!)
(wait is it okay for an angel to be that tremendous!? Can they fly with that!?) Lex thought when he saw Vera's chest
(uu, I need to stop my stupid thought here, focus, focus!!)
The others did not show it on the outside but they were pretty much surprised when Venti personally invited Lex like that, to end that atmosphere Vera quickly
"Vera Crimson, The Third seat, Leader of the Crimson Eagle" brief, compact and clear, even with that the freshmen got fired up as they saw the Leader of the Crimson Eagle, "whooooaaa!!" the Numbers as they admired Vera
Vera put out her hand to calm the masses, and signal the others to continue with the introduction
"Mare Crimson" it is a petite small girl, she's like not different much in age with us freshmen
(I knew this is strange …. But she's glaring at me this whole time! Why!?)
(this is our first time meeting, no? what could I possibly do to her!?)
It was when Vera urged her to continue when Mare finally stopped glaring at Lex but she still peeked a glance once or two "I'm the one in charge with Magic Weapon and Tool, the Fourth Seat, and Lex… Lex Spifer remember to visit me later"
(hey! I did not do anything this time!!! Just what the hell happened here!!)
Twice, Lex finally gathered the attention from the freshmen even a few executive started to get interested with him
(damn it! It isn't supposed to be like this! I'm standing out in the strange way now!)
"Peter Crimosn, the Fifth Seat, I'm specialized in Spear, if any of you interested in the way of spear, or you like spear, come to me, I always welcome a newcomer with both hands opened wide" he shown the rest a bright teeth smile and winked to the freshmen with his handsome face that action, in "Kyaaa!!" girls racket while the boys exude an envy aura and of course Lex was the same
(tch! he looks like a Damn narcissist!)
"Turner Crimson, The Sixth Seat, I excelled in scouting, I myself don't even know why I become an executive, but I'll try my best if you choose to follow my path"
(dandy old man, sadist woman, an angel, a loli, a narcissist, and…a good natured uncle... hmm we got a pretty good line up here)
Turner Crimson was bit plump, his face looks like a kind uncle from next door
"Ura Crimson, The Seventh Seat, pheww… this is a bit hard for an old woman like me, I knew a tad more about Magic than other" Ura Crimson with white hair because of old age said, she looks like an old woman but the impression from her expression tells she's a healthy old woman
(she looks like the oldest among the Executive…)
"Neptunia Crimson, The Eight Seat" she gracefully said, Neptunia Crimson is a beautiful woman too, she has a graceful and elegant demeanor which comparable with Vera Crimson
(but…, it's sad that her chest is not even half of Vera)
*chill
When Lex thought something like that he suddenly feels his instinct to survive kick on, he's having goosebumps all over his body
(hiii..!?) Lex felt like he was on the palm of the death god's hand when he saw Neptunia stared at her very very cold, (she can read mind!? or Is this what they called woman's instinct? That's scary!!)
It was after a few minutes, when Lex felt the gaze disappeared, Lex can finally breathe in relief
"The Ninth, Luto Crimson, hidden weapon" unlike Vera who looks cold to others and didn't speak much, Luto Crimson who looks like a capable worker Man, giving a cool guy vibe who speaks little and that's the end of his introduction
The Freshmen waited a bit while looking at the Last Executive, the last Executive was a beautiful girl in her late teenager, she looks like a high school student, the girl has pink, peach like sakura colored hair, unlike the other who wore Crimson Eagle official uniform, the girl wore a big black robe which covered her entire body except her face
""""…."""" they waited while staring at the Last executive, but the girl still did not show any action to introduction
The other Executive too have used to this situation, they knew that the last executive will be like this, so they don't interfere much
While the freshmen confused, suddenly in front of them all, one word appear in greenish blue color
"Witch" the word said
(witch?) after Lex read the word, he looks back to the Last executive, but the girl has already gone from her chair, there's only an empty chair on that place
"that girl didn't change, I even think her text becoming shorter and shorter each time" Venti exasperatedly said, some of the executive agreed with her while the others remain indifferent
After that the other eight executive disappeared along with their seat and platform only Venti alone stood on that place
"then, you are given one week of time to visit and decide, the rest will be explained by my subordinate" she said before leaving the training ground
The Guest one by one left the room after that too, while the Numbers for the first time they saw a mystical thing happened right in front of their eyes, they a bit overwhelmed by the situation.
Even if they knew about Magic and Mana it's only a simple one which not very impactful, but today the impression left by the Executive made them dumbfounded a platform appear and disappear in the blink of an eye is just impossible in the world they knew before, it was the same for Lex too, but what he thought is a bit different than others
(as I thought, I'm influenced by this body, even with all those beautiful women gathered my interest attracted to Mare and Witch more who looks closer to my age)
(normally it's strange for an adult Man to get interested to girls on that age, except they had a strange fetish but I'm not one of them!)
(it's proven now… so that's the reason how Mio and Aria can make my heart skipped a beat…)
