[OP: ]
Back in the corridor junction where they had left each other, Eon, Rein and the group had gathered again.
Their first personal class had ended just now and while a few had already gone to their second ones, those who had common classes again were here now, with a bucket of new experience in their abundant empty oceans.
And the first thing Rein did after seeing Eon, was run up to him and hug him out of the blue, surprising him with that sudden, emotional thing.
He didn't know what had happened in their class for her to be like that. But she was sad, he could feel that much, and he didn't like seeing her like that.
But he knew this little hug was also a cure to calm her down and bring her back to normal… so they were hugging, passionately, in the middle of a corridor, while everyone was watching.
They mostly didn't care about others, and a sight like a couple kissing in some corner was usually a normal sight, but they were special cases.
They were house captains and every single move from them would be the talk of the town. And the house captains here were from two opposite teams so the level of importance these two's actions had for their houses was far beyond anything normal and on top of that, there were house captains Zoe and Aleequinn here as well, so the attraction was too obvious.
But the two were in their own world as they hugged, continuing their hug for exactly three minutes before kissing lightly and looking at each other.
"So? What happened?" Eon asked, looking into her pretty black eyes.
"A lot," she answered, giving him a positive smile that simply indicated she was fine now.
"Want to tell me now or should we keep heading towards the class first?" He asked again, kissing the forehead of his pretty and now in better condition fiancée.
"Let's start walking first. It's long and cool, you will love it, and also be jealous of me and my classmates," she smirked while saying that and grabbed his free hand.
"Jealous you say? Interesting…" A smile appeared on his face as he looked at her smirk and held her hand back, feeling the coolness of her touch that he had been momentarily deprived of.
"Hehe. Yeah. Let's go-… right."
She stopped midway and looked behind her at the girl standing right there with a warm smile, remembering something important.
"Zoe had something to talk about so you should do that first before we go. And she got a class point and great compliments from the teacher so… you should praise her too." She whispered that last thing in his ear and then smiled at both of them, a different smile that was unique from her previous ones.
But he knew what she wanted to say so he nodded, and walked back to Zoe, asking her if he could have a precious moment with her.
And Zoe being Zoe, obviously agreed with a little loud and cheerful smile.
[[ Master~! Master~! Sister Elle and Zoe's class was funnnnn~! There were cute snakes and flies over there too~. ]]
And Celes spoke up just then, telling her master about this new thing for the first time.
[[ "I see you really were having fun too, little one. Well, I missed a lot of good things if even you are this much excited and happy about this." ]]
[[ Yes~. Sister Elle was having fun… but then she lost Bob. ]]
She sounded sad at that last thing, and hearing a name from his familiar was a unique thing for Eon.
But he stopped himself from asking more. He would hear that directly from his darling.
"So big brother." Zoe created a unique barrier around them as soon as they were some distance away from the others.
"I see you got a compliment from your teacher. That's great~." He patted her head while saying that and she smiled warmly at that familiar warm touch she was feeling after a few sunrises.
"And I know you want to talk about your artifact creation class." He said in a low voice while smiling down warmly at his special little sister.
"But you have nothing to worry about, dear.
Your mom was a creator of a level that I doubt I will ever see again.
Her specialty was the artefacts with all kinds of effects but they were all derived from the technology of the past.
She had lived a long life, and she had seen the world from the moment it wasn't even in a state to be called a proper world, however, you are different from her.
If you like creation, which I know you love, then just go for it. There's nothing holding you back and there is no need to even have someone else's opinion for something you want to do in your life.
Besides, your mom was far more than just a creator. She was an artist, a chef, a mage, a weapon wielder, a force that the world feared at one point, a teacher, and a being that the current world knows by many names.
She had lived long and seen it all, and in her last moment, she wanted you, my dear little Zoe, to live your life your own way.
She wanted her dear little daughter to be happy, and she asked me to take care of her. That is all.
Yes, you have all the knowledge of abundant talents she had honed throughout those countless years, but you know that you actually have no experience to execute all those things, right?
Yes you might be able to wield a weapon better than any of us if you want, yes you might be able to cast spells even the headmaster has never seen before, and yes you might be able to do anything you want, but that's just the thing!
What do you want to do? Do you want to do this or that? Or this and this? If that seems good, then do it. And if you want to try doing everything like your mom, then it's fine too.
It all comes down to what you want to do and if you will be happy doing that.
There are some constraints on your sister Elle and me but that's by our own choices.
You, on the other hand, are different, my captain.
You have a house to lead and houses to beat. And how you want to do it is your own choice too.
Just, do whatever you want as you did in this class and you will receive all the compliments and praise you want.
You are already strong enough to use us however you want without any powers anyway. So do whatever you want and live however you want.
Just do what makes you happy. And it will make me, make us, happy too."
He said that all, and patted her head again, almost making the forever-smiling Zoe teary.
"There was no need to answer all my questions like that, meanie."
But she was still smiling right now, happy to hear all that from the dearest person in her life.
"We have classes dear. And your sister Elle will punch me if I'm late to hear her grand tale."
And so he smiled for the last time, put his hand on her warm cheeks, looked at her warmly for the last time, and took a step back.
"Don't worry. You already know your teacher is a unique person himself, right?
You will have fun, so just go and have fun."
Then, the barrier of illusion series vanished with a snap of his finger, and he bowed to her respectfully before taking a step back, and escorting her to everyone else.
"Alright. Now that this is done, let's go~." Rein, more properly Uriel, shouted cheerfully, and everyone laughed at her sudden change of emotions.
There were Zoe, Eon, Rein, their cute Med, Quin, and Chry here so Carla, Lizzy, and Alf were in their classes now. And though Zoe was going in a different direction from others, she was still here with others.
But Eon, Rein, and Med had their alchemy class while Quin and Chry were going for their political science class which was almost in the same direction.
But Eon and others had to hurry now if they wanted to reach their class held on the northern castle wing in the main alchemy lab so they all finished their talking, shared the highlights of their classes and some floating rumors that they had heard, which included some peculiar details about their group, and parted ways.
They were going to their own classes, Zoe was in a unique situation right now, Quin and Chry were getting along well, the other prodigies were also on their way to their next classes that would overlap with the people we know, and in the midst of all this, Eon heard about a unique person from his personal talk with his Rein.
"A possessed person called Dan, hun…? And one with 'holy eyes' at that, you say? Now that's an interesting one."
He was smiling, and she knew from that rare and unique smile that her dear darling was on his way to get his very first slave in this great academy…
