Unexpected Visitors 1

After my katana and I finished our long talk that reached until midnight, I decided to take a rest and closed my eyes to sleep.

Without much thoughts in mind, I slept peacefully and woked up with my body that was fully healed by now.

The nurse who took care of me two days ago was surprised when she saw that the injuries I attained during the dungeon exploration had fully disappeared a day after I woke up.

I was immediately called out to the principal's office after they found out that I was fully healed to question everything I remember back at the dungeon, and how I got that injuries from.

To keep things short, of course, I made a lie telling them that I fought some monsters while I was on my way to back Arthur and the others up, and that I got injured after those monsters ganged up on me, barely managing to survive.

But, even though the lie I made up was a bit detailed, the principal, Eva, gave me a long stare before saying.

"I'm not an idiot," She sighed. "Stop lying or I might expell you from these place."

Anyhow, I just got blackmailed... Wait, no. Actually, I guess what she said was only a threat since she doesn't have any evidence to blackmail m-

"Arthur and his team had already said everything that happened to them to me. And, I guess the so-called 'angel sent by the god' who healed everyone who got injured was also you..." Eva said as she crossed both of her arms to her chest.

Welp, I guess calling this as a blackmail is appropriate now...

Sighing, I dropped both of my arms down tiredly.

This continued on for a few seconds until...

...𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵.

𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵 𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦! As if realizing something, I bit my lower lips to control the sudden flooding of emotions that was about to burst in my heart.

𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘥...? 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦?

𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬'𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘬𝘦, 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘶𝘵!

Yep. 'Not in a million years' is what I promised in my heart... But, who would have predicted that in a few years by now, these shit (promise to myself) will be broken.

I could pretty much imagine myself grimacing because of it.

[𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭-𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵.]

These useless talk only lasted for a moment, as I noticed Eva blinking a few times in front of me.

"Oh, aren't you gonna answer my question?"

Breaking me from my pointless argument with the horny sword that was on my waist, Eva rested her chin onto her palm.

"But it wasn't actually me-"

"Expelled?"

"Okay, okay! Geez..."

Hearing my complaints, I didn't noticed that Eva was actually secretly smiling in the process of my whole explanation.

Though I didn't explained much about what actually happened, in the end, I was forced to admit that only a tini-tiny fraction of how the monster died was my fault. And immediately after this, I went back to the dorm so that I can prepare myself for tomorrow's test... Well, actually, I don't need to prepare myself and study all-night for that since I would no doubt get a perfect score.

Being too intelligent is such a sin, Ha ha!

The only thing I need to do for today actually was to finish everything. I mean, literally everything I had to do so that nothing in my plan would go south.

Oh, yeah! I think I remember Eva saying that she was not the main problem that I should be dealing right now before sending me back to my room.

Somehow, I flinched after I heard this from her.

"Huh?"

After I finally reached the entrance to my room, when I was about to open the door using my keys, I stopped halfway when I noticed that the room was already unlocked.

𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘚𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘺 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘐 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰? I pondered to myself for a moment. But, I immediately shook this thoughts off my mind and continued.

*Click!*

With a click, I slowly opened the door.

"You're back!"

Opening the door to my room, the first person who greeted me made my face stiffened.

𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦, 𝘐 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴...

"Mom..."

At the same time...

Alicia could be seen in the academy's corridor humming while making an expression that some people wouldn't be able to imagine.

She was cheerfully humming as she walked towards the Infirmary where Athan was supposed to be resting.

With a wide smile, Alicia slowly opened the door. "Athan, I came to visi-?!" She stopped herself after she noticed that the room was empty.

"A-Athan...?"

Alicia went outside the room to take a look if she went to a wrong room, but... she saw that she didn't.

"Where is he?" Alicia once again went inside to look for clues on where Athan could have gone to, but then, she suddenly noticed a black shiny thing placed on the table.

*Shiiiiii-*

She then decided to walk towards it to take a look.

"A black ring?" Picking the black ring up, Alicia took her time to take a closer look at it. "...It's pretty." Saying this, she briefly looked around at her surroundings once again before putting the ring on.

Alicia didn't know why, but somehow, she felt like the ring had been calling out-whispering something to her ear.

*Shii~~*

The voices was vague and she couldn't understand what it was saying, so, she decided to ignore it.

"I guess I should check back on the dorm. There's a possibility that he might've healed up overnight... Well, it's him we are talking about." Nodding to herself, Alicia shifted her attention to the door as she tried to stand up.

Just when she was about to stood up from her knees, the door that she closed behind suddenly opened as a girl with silver hair, and azure blue eyes entered the room.

""Umm... Who are you?"" Alicia and the new girl, who entered the room, stopped and looked at each other with a confused expression. Next, both of them tilted their heads to the side.

""Huh? Why do I feel like I've seen you before?""

***

Back to the dormitory...

Thirty minutes had passed since after I arrived back to my room. And in these thirty minutes, my mother, who was in her original form which had the nerfed mountain, had explained why she decided to visit me... Not that it was actually her plan.

"You see, I am planning on enrolling your little sister. By next year, you'll definitely become her senior." With a smug, mom placed both of her hands on her waist as she raised her chin up proudly.

"You know that by next year, she'll turn 10. And... The requirements to enroll at the academy is 12, right?"

"Don't worry, Chloe is gifted enough to be admitted here."

"But-"

"She is gifted enough."

"Bu-"

"SHE IS GIFTED ENOUGH."

"..."

I knew I couldn't refute anymore the moment her voice had turned serious.

I don't know what my sister did to convince her that she was gifted, but, knowing my mother's personality, it must've been something impressive.

My mother, Celestia, had the personality of being blunt with her words. She wouldn't hesitate to say what she wants just like me... I don't know if I got some of my bold personality from her or was it already engraved on me back from my past life.

𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘶𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦... 𝘴𝘩𝘦'𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘦.

As if a small pack of ice suddenly fell down to my back, I unconsciously shivered up after imagining that my innocent little sister suddenly made a teasing grin similar to what my mother made whenever she was talking to me.

𝘐 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯... I thought as I secretly glanced on my mother's chest-or actually, on the golden necklace, that had a picture of us and my little sister when she was still a baby, she was currently wearing.

"Speaking of which, where is Chloe anyway?"

My mother was about to answer my question when a loud explosion suddenly occured.

*Bang!*

The whole school suddenly shook after the explosion as I immediately rushed towards the window to see if I could spot where the explosion came from.

There it was...

The place where the explosion had occured was actually the Infirmary where I had rested to recover my body for a few days.

I was about to open my mouth to say something when suddenly, the door behind my mother opened.

"The principal was calling out for you, miss Celestia." Shifting her gaze towards me, the man continued, "You are also to be included, young sir."
