Ch.88 : Reunion of Old Friends and New Students

At home, Nic is still contemplating Zeta's words that she should be the one saved, not the Goddess of Love.

"Hah... it's just confusing, I don't even want to answer when asked."

Nic had asked Zeta many times why she said that, but she just kept quiet and only appeared when Nic wanted to activate her skill.

While he was daydreaming, someone knocked on Nic's door.. He quickly opened it.

It was Nova, he came because Nic told him to come here.

Nic smiled broadly, "Are you ready to go to the place?".

Nova nodded, and the two of them headed straight to Unity HQ. It was the weekend, so Unity HQ was expected to be very busy.

"Ah, later you don't care about the others okay.. and one more thing, there's someone you know there too."

Nova tilted her head slightly, but she just nodded as usual.

A few moments later they finally arrived, Nova was amazed to see how big the place was.

The door is open

Seen in the living room were Charlotte and Julia who immediately stared at them both.

Julia cleared her throat, "Hm hm hm who is that~".

Nic ignored Julia's teasing and immediately pulled Nova's hand towards the room he had prepared for her.

Leona and Vivi just came out of the gym and asked Julia if Nic had arrived yet?.

"I was with a new girl earlier, hihi".

Vivi and Leona looked at each other, "Leona, let's call Luna."

They both went to call Luna.

Nova and Nic arrived at his room, it looked dark inside and Nic told Nova to close his eyes, he quickly closed his eyes, his heart was pounding because Nova was 100% in love with Nic But he was confused why his chest was like this since yesterday.

Nic closed the door and turned on the light. He saw the room filled with star and planet accessories, along with research facilities and other items.

Nova wanted to open her blindfold but Nic held her back, "Wait a minute Nova."

Nic immediately activated the God of Illusion skill, making the entire room look like a real galaxy, while also making himself look like Nova's father.

After Nic allowed Nova to open her eyes, she fell silent... Surprised, seeing the figure she had been waiting for suddenly standing in front of her.

"Dad...?"

"Yes... Nova This is your father." Said Nic, pretending to be his father.

Without thinking much, Nova cried uncontrollably, she hugged her father tightly, venting her sadness and the feelings she had been keeping to herself.

"Nova.. I'll be sad if you don't accept my departure.."

Nova stared at him sharply, "Dad... You promised to give me a star, right? But... but why did you... Hiks..".

Nova continued to cry like a child, Nic showed the star Sirius in his hand and gave it to Nova, then he said in a low tone.

"Nova, you have to be strong.. forgive me for breaking my promise, Be my successor and accept my departure, I'm sure you can be happy again without me.".

Nova was silent then finally spoke, "If that's what you want, Dad.. okay, I promise I won't be sad anymore.. thank you for coming again.. I'm very happy to see my super dad's face;)".

Nova actually wanted to say something more but suddenly his illusion slowly disappeared because Nic started to feel dizzy.

"Eh... Ah, it's an illusion, huh... it seems real." Nova looked at her hand that had been given the star and she was still holding the star.

"Nova.. do you know who made you experience that illusion thanks to?", Nic had prepared this for something.

"Hmm, I don't know.." Nova is confused.

Then Nic opened the door and Luna was already waiting in front of him, immediately they both looked at each other, Nova and Luna finally met again.

"Hi Nova, do you still remember me?" Luna approached Nova.

"Luna.. oh my.. of course I remember, I'm sorry for not seeing you again.. since that incident I've always been alone" Nova lowered her head.

"It's okay Nova, I understand.. finally we meet again" They both hugged each other.

Nic lied and told Nova that it was thanks to Luna that he was able to experience the illusion. Luna was confused for a moment, but Nic signaled for Luna to just say yes. Nova then thanked Luna, thanks to him he was able to see his father's face again.

Luna just nodded awkwardly and glared at Nic, Nic just laughed then asked Nova if she was happy now? "Yeah.. I'm really happy, thanks Nic! But by the way, what place is this?".

When Nova asked, as soon as the other members entered, Emily immediately turned to Nova and said, "This is Unity headquarters! Are you planning to join?"

"EHHH", Nova looked around quickly confused by this situation.

Luna explains to Nova about the Unity headquarters that Nic made, like it's a second home for her, she's got a second family that supports each other, and Nova won't be alone anymore And they can also experiment or research together.

Nova smiled interestedly at that and quickly nodded in agreement, then was greeted by everyone.

On the other hand, Vivi nudged Nic's arm and whispered, "Is he your Girlfriend too, Nic?".

Nic shook his head, but according to his system data, Nova was already listed as his girlfriend—this was the advantage of Hearth Claim. Nic didn't need to appear pushy or continue to openly add girlfriends.

Nic leaves the base giving them space to get to know Nova.

And without Nic realizing, someone has been watching him from afar.

The next day.

In class E, teacher Clara announced that there was a new student.

"I'm Alexa, nice to meet you all" Alexa smiled with a sharp gaze full of intimidation.

Usually, new, beautiful female students are welcomed enthusiastically. But this time, even though she is beautiful, she looks intimidating and scary.

"Hmm... Why are you looking at me like that?" Alexa looks annoyed.

Everyone shook their heads, and Alexa sat at the very back, out of nowhere, she felt like Clara's teacher didn't know either and suddenly there was a new student in her class.

To be continued...
