Chapter 169 169 Inauguration (2)
[El's POV: ]
She was worried, obviously, anyone would be worried when the people you find out the people you looked up to the most and had sworn to protect with your life had vanished right before the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people.
'Poor Eva…'
We had vanished in the garden during the summoning process while she was inside the academy castle finishing up her official helper registrations.
She was doing her work by doing that and she knew we would be fine with so many people around us.
There there was no need for her to worry about anything when even the headmaster was there, and besides, it was just a summoning.
Even her own griffin had only caused a little trouble for them. What we might have summoned should not have been that great of a threat that not even the people present there could not repress it.
We told her it was fine and she went away to do her work, however, against all odds or expectations of all the people present in that place, we vanished from that place right before the eyes of everyone present.
There was not even some kind of indication or worming why we had vanished.
As some students here were talking about, most of them thought we had somehow died and vanished while summoning… some absurd words from these all dumb fuckers around us.
It was all shit, they were all shit, however, Eva was not fine with what she had to go through all by herself at that moment.
'I know just how much worried she must have been, I know just what kind of feeling might be resurfacing in her heart, I know that, and, I feel guilty to worry her like that.'
She had already had a dark past that had made her confined to herself in her own darkness where she locked up all of her anger, sadness, and weaknesses.
After meeting us, she had gained a new light and that darkness had shrunk down to only a little dot, however, I knew this event that happened, this little scenario that caused her self-doubt, anxiety, and tension, might just become some kind of trigger that she might take as her being not good enough for being able to protect her like she wanted.
'Even right now as she was hugging us, I could feel she was in no state of being perfectly fine.'
The doubts had not gone, the anxiety remained as well.
She had been worried and though a little relieved after seeing us in this perfect state, she still could not let go of the fact that something had actually happened to us while she was away.
She knew she was not strong enough to contend against all that we face on a regular basis, however, she was stronger than she knew.
She was still not at the top of what she could achieve and there were still many things that she needed to learn and realize about herself, however, if she continued doubting herself instead of knowing her strengths, she would never get the chance to know just how much different she was from the other people in this place.
"Okey, okey. We are fine, Eva. Look? We are perfectly fine, right? And stop doubting yourself and thinking about what you would do if you were ever actually in a problematic situation.
Stop it. And, instead of doubting, channel that anger and all the negativity into doing your best in the training and learning as many new things as you can from any and all things you see on a daily basis.
Look at a butterfly's winds and think about the winds they rise and look at the fishes in the water, and learn how the waves are the same as winds, a flow.
Learn, get strong enough so that no doubt remains, and, I beg of you, please don't you dare select clothes on your own from now on.
You have no fashion sense whatsoever. It's worse than mine.
That dress is a complete disaster."
A yellow dress? Well, hell no.
She would look lovely in green, black, even white, or orange at one point. I would accept red at one point but even that would look shit on her pretty body and green hair. But yellow? And this shitty bright shade of yellow?
Fuck that looks disgusting on her.
"Hahaha. Yes. I will keep that in mind."
She was laughing now. Which was good.
She looked good when she laughed. That is better than this sob-sob drama.
"Who dressed you up by the way? Did you just select some random dress from the closet or something?"
"Ummm… yes. Lady Alquea did offer help however, we had this little thing in the morning-"
"She used charm on you and your mind went blank or something?"
"Hmmm? Yes…? Something similar."
She was supposed how I knew about it, lol. I'm supposed how she doesn't know how to use the powers of a specific stat. She really has a long way to go.
'Well, it's something she could only learn through self-realization. Teaching it would make the whole point of it being a unique technique meaningless.'
"Alright, well, don't fear her just because she tried playing some pranks on you. She's a good person, and a talented one as well. Try learning from her as much as possible."
"I… understand."
Alquea. She's one hell of a strange bitch.
Like, lol, she liking a specific kind of lady is a personal preference, but the fact that she is a great mage trained directly by the greatest mage after the headmaster on this planet makes her a special being.
And, even if we don't count the fact that she is a witch by birth who has lived for a hundred and thirty-six years by this point, she is a unique bitch that has the power to use the water attribute to a very great degree.
'Eva has the power to control winds now thanks to Ash so, learning the nature and working system of a 'fluid' from Alq will be a very good idea.'
We will be working with Cathy for a little something anyway, so, we all are going to see each other often anyway.
Having a good relationship with her will increase our chances of getting close to Cathy's grandma, and if things go right, she will willingly give us the ancient artifact their kingdom has guarded for generations.
'But, well, that's something for later.'
We still have yet to have the meetings with Cathy and Rex so, before those meetings conclude tomorrow, we cannot plan how we will go about with the rest of the things.
'Though there's one thing I will make sure in this life of mine.'
Cathy and Rex have to be together. Those fuckers have been friends ever since they were young but, the fuckers have only been just that. Friends.
Political friends more precisely.
Rex bastard was the least romantic character in this place, and, Cathy's horny bitch.
If I wanted them to be together, I would have to make sure he sees Cathy in a new light from now on.
If he becomes a little assertive and makes a 'move'… well, she will finish the rest.
"Oh, by the way, are these two adorable ones your familiars?"
"Oh! Right! We almost forgot to introduce you two-"
"Nes' s here El."
I was just about to introduce Cary and Anna to her, when Lucy spoke up, and, not long after that, we heard some familiar worried footsteps sprinting towards us…
