Click-Clack
It didn't take more then 10 minutes for Gaia to be walking through the gates of Celestial Elementary.
She didn't pause for a moment to look at the stunning view of the most elite elementary school in the world.
A wife, white building with hundreds of rooms. The building had four stories, one for kindergarten, another for 1st grade, the next for 2nd.
The top floor was filled with training room for not only sparring, but also for alchemy, simulations, and the arts.
Funded by a mysterious rich backer, Celestial Elementary was the school for the rich and the smart.
You only went to this school if you were a genius or were the relative of a backer, such as an investor or member of the board.
Gaia strutted through the front gates with confidence, almost like she knew the building's layout like the back of her hand.
When she walked through the front office doors, she was greeted by the sight by at least 10 individuals seated behind desks, tapping away at the holographic screen in front of them at fast speeds.
Walking up to a desk, Gaia politely said "excuse me. I am Gaia Void, mother of Aiden and Alex Void. I was called here to speak with the headmaster."
Only then did the woman stop typing.
Looking up at Gaia, she sneered to herself and said "follow me." With ought waiting to see if she was following, she walked out the door and into the hallways.
Gaia followed her quick pace easily, and it was only two minutes later that they finally reached the headmaster's office on the 4th floor.
The young lady knocked on the door. "Headmaster, Ms. Void is here to speak to you."
"Enter." A deep and gruff voice sounded from within the heavy wooden doors.
Gaia pushed the doors open and walked inside. The room was large but sparse. The only furniture was a desk, at most 5 chairs, and a slightly worn brown couch.
Sitting behind the desk was a tall, broad man. He sat with his hands folded in front of him placed on the desk. He had a scraggly brown beard and mustache but the top of his head was bare. Eyes closed and brows furrowed, he seemed like he was debating something incredibly profound.
In front of him sat her two adoptive sons, Aiden and Alex. While Alex looked as if he were on the verge of tears, Aiden sat holding his brothers hand, not worried in the least.
"Please have a seat, Ms. Void," The large middle-aged man said with ought opening his eyes, his expression even.
Gaia walked in wordlessly and sat down next to Alex.
Silence encapsulated the room, thick as smog.
'Whatever it was, it must be serious.' Gaia thought to herself. 'Should I just check the records?'
Before she could continue her train of thoughts, the man finally began.
"Ms. Void, we call you here today to inform you of the expulsion of your children Aiden Void and Alex Void."
"…What did you just say?" Gaia said, completely stunned.
"Your sons have deliberately harmed four classmates, Vince Winchester, Lucas Forrester, Avery Lion, and Foxton Hunter. After careful deliberation, I, as well as the Vice Headmaster and your child's former instructed, have settled upon the punishment of expulsion."
Gaia stared at him blankly.
"From tomorrow forwards, your children Aiden and Alex Void may not enter the schools premises. Please collect their things and leave immediately. Thank you for your understanding. Your daughter, Ava Void, may continue her education at the academy freely." The man said, opening his eyes only now.
He sweeper the beady orbs in his head across the room sternly, intimidating Alex.
Gaia turned to Aiden and gave him a questioning gaze.
Aiden quickly summed everything up in a sentence: "Foxton Hunter tried to force Ava to sign a blood contract saying that she was to be his concubine, so I punched him in the face."
Gaia glanced between Aiden, Alex, and the headmaster slowly.
Seeming that the headmaster's expression didn't change, she instantly understood what had happened.
Some spoiled little brat saw how adorable her precious pets were and tried to claim it as their own, but when he got beat up by Aiden, the spoiled brat ran to his daddy, crying about revenge and hence the situation.
Foxton Hunter… the third child of the Hunter family. His mother was the leader of the fox clan.
Gaia snapped her fingers, and a series of events happened.
First, a message was sent to her main body as well as every last one of her avatars.
Then, a message was sent to the board of Celestial Elementary school.
Then, a barrier covered the entirety of the fox clan grounds, barring anyone from either entering or exiting.
It took no more then 30 seconds for the headmaster to get a phone call from the board.
The 'sage-like' man grabbed the phone as quick as possible and quickly answered in a fawning voice, completely disregarding Gaia and her children.
"Mr. Ruth, what can I-" It didn't take long for him to get interrupted.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" A loud, angry voice rang out from the device, "We just got a notice from the big boss. They said that if you didn't fix your mistake, then you will be fired immediately!"
"What?!? But I didn't think do anything- oh." He began, but upon remembering that Gaia was there, understood what had happened.
He hung up the phone with ought hesitation and stood up on his feet, walking in front of his desk and bowed deeply.
To be able to obtain the position of Headmaster, he had no choice but to be smart and cunning.
Though his position was nothing compared to the members of the board, inside this school, he was king.
His job was essentially to do paperwork and deal with the demands of the rich people that the school would rather avoid attending.
He had only been doing what he normally did: an easy favor for a rich person here, another for somebody there…
Usually, everything would be fine.
Alex, Aiden and Ava might have had an exceptional talent, in his eyes, they were something expendable if it meant the fox family's clan leader owed him a favor.
The more powerful his connections were, the easier it would be to maintain his position as headmaster. Though the position was not easy to obtain, it was even harder to maintain.
Expelling a few students every now and then was normal.
But today, he had made a grave mistake.
"I deeply apologize for this mistake, it won't happen again, you have my word! I will watch over your children and if you so wish, will expel Foxton Hunter and the other boys who picked on them."
Gaia stayed silent, allowing the man to maintain his bowing position for an entire minute before opening her mouth.
"I trust you will do well. You know the consequences, do you not?" She said in a low, drawn out voice.
"Yes ma'am! I will do better and will never make the same mistake again!"
Gaia turned to the boys. "You kids can go back to class now. Have fun!" She ruffled Alex's hair. "You boys did well. Thank you protecting your sister."
Alex smiled at Gaia while Aiden only nodded his head in acknowledgment before dragging his brother out of the door by his hand.
Gaia got up from her seat and walked to the door, her black stilettos made a sharp click-clack that seemed to increase the headmaster's heart rate by twofold each time they connected with the marble tile.
It was only once she had one foot out the door that she spoke once more, "You should know that if something like this ever happens again, begging fired will be the least of your worries."
The headmaster gulped and choked out a reply, his voice strangled, "Yes, ma'am."
"Good."
The door closed behind her with a loud slam, and the sound of her walking away echoed though the empty hallways and into the his heart.

No. Nothing like this would ever happen again. If he wanted to live, he would make sure of it.
