Cliché Scene
Iris's POV:
"But it was fun to hunt for the last time,"
"Last time?" He tilted his head.
"I'm going to Capital. Every student who has reached the age of 15 is required to attend the academy for as long as they are physically capable."
"When are you going?"
"Tomorrow,"
"So, soon,"
"Yeah, summer vacation is almost over and academy begins soon, so I need to go,"
"It's that so," He said with a somewhat bitter expression.
It's been four years since I met Eethie. As time passed, we grew closer.
Aside from the fact that he's gotten taller, he's remained pretty much the same, he still had his baby fat.
Even though he is eight years younger than me, it sometimes feels like he has more experience and maturity than I do, but then he does some silly and innocent things that make him seem like a normal kid.
He has a lot of talent, not only as an enhancer but also as an emitter. And it's worrying me about his future. It's only my thought, but it looks like he had some threat to his life. It's just a gut feeling that I have. I have no explanation for that.
So, seeing his bitter expression, I also feel sad about leaving him. But all kids from noble families must attend the academy, so I can't avoid it.
I embraced him.
"Don't feel sad, I will visit you in the break,"
"Sis, your breasts have gotten bigger again,"
He said, as his head was in my bosom.
*Smack*
"Ouch! Ouch! My head,"
This little…, I looked down at my breasts. Well, he's not wrong; my breasts got a lot bigger than before.
'Leave that aside,' I shook my head.
"Let's head back. I have to pack my things."
"You're not going tomorrow," He suddenly said.
"Why?"
"Because it will take you days to pack your things,"
"Haha, very funny."
"For your kind information, I have already packed my things. I just need to go through them to make sure I have everything."
We both got back to our houses.

Ethan's POV:
The following day,
Iris was all set to go; old man Kieran would drop her off in the village.
"Why don't you accompany Kieran to the village, Eethie?" Grandpa asked.
"I don't have any problems, but why did you ask now?"
"Someone is coming to our house, so why don't you pick them up from the village while dropping Iris off?"
"Who is coming?"
"Granddaughter of an old friend,"
"All right, but how does she look?"
"Kieran is familiar with her, so just follow him."
"Okay,"
"Looks like you wouldn't be lonely," Iris said with a smile.
"Seems so,"
"Let's leave,"
We arrived in the village in no time, since it was only ten minutes' walk from our house.
"Sis, make a lot of friends," I told Iris as she sat in the carriage.
"And don't forget to find a boyfriend."
"Grandpa Kieran, don't you think she can easily find a boyfriend?"
"You are right. Bring your boyfriend with you the next time you come,"
Hearing our words, Iris said as she closed the carriage door.
"You guys are ridiculous,"
As the carriage began to move, I said,
"Love you, sis. Stay safe, "
Hearing my words, she leaned out the window
"Love you too,"
"What about me?" Old man Kieran asked.
"Love you too, grandpa,"
-------
After Iris left, we waited for an hour,
"When will they arrive?"
"Any time,"
A luxurious carriage came to a halt not far from us. When Kieran noticed this, he said,
"Here they are."
A beautiful woman in a maid's dress with black hair and brown eyes emerged, followed by a young girl around my age with a beautiful face enhanced by blue eyes and pink hair.
"Let's greet them,"
I nodded and followed him.
"Our little princess is finally here," the old man said with a warm smile.
Seeing the old man's warm smile, I was shocked.
'He never spoke like that to me, he always had this annoying face when he spoke to me.'
"How have you been, grandpa Kieran?" The girl asked with a smile.
"I've been fine. How about you?"
"I've also been well,"
The old man still had a smile,
'Is it a gender thing?' I thought.
After saying that, the girl looked at me,
"He is Ethan, Aldric's grandson,"
Kieran introduced me,
"And she is Sylvia Beauvillers."
Before I greeted her, the old man said,
"Don't be shy; say hello to her,"
He shoved me from behind, causing me to lose my balance and fall.
*Thud*
Sylvia was on the ground below me, and I was above her.
"Ouch!"
My hand grabbed something small and soft; as I squeezed them, I had a voice,
"Ah~"
When I heard the voice, I took my hand away, alas it was too late.
"WATER CANNON"
I was sent flying before I could understand anything. After a certain height, I began to fall down.
"AHHH!"
*Plop*
I fell into the river,
"Huff!"
'Oh great, this cliché scene from the novels and mangas,'
I thought as I wiped the water from my face.
"Hey, what are you doing there?" the old man asked.
I looked at him; this sly old man had a large smile on his face.
"Swimming, wanna do?"
"No, thanks." He waved his hand.
"Come out of there. I have other work to do; I'm not free like you brat,"
"Work my ass. All you do is wake up, drink, sleep, and repeat,"
Having come out of the river, I used the wind to dry myself.
"Fly,"
I float towards Kieran and the others. As I landed,
"Air Bullet,"
"Wind Blades,"
Seeing that, Kieran raised his eyebrows.
"What are you doing?"
"Try to kill," I said as I moved my hand.
Countless bullets and blades began to rain down on the old man, but he dodged them all, as I expected.
"You need to do more than this to kill me,"
He reached out and picked me up like a cat by the scruff.
"Drop me down, old man," I said, moving my hands and legs to free myself.
"Don't wanna,"
Sylvia and her maid were taken aback when they saw my spells and command over the spells during our little fight.
After a few minutes, both the old man and I settled down and headed to the house.
