Chapter 48
Home is a place you can be at ease. School is a place you can call as your second home. But… is that really the case,?
“Why are there so much weeds and vines in this place? Isn't it a little creepy at some point?“ Migo mutter as he let out his bows and arrows.
I can also see Kiel using his dark mist as he was having his guard up. The same thing goes with everyone. Even I do have my sword in my hand.
”Why is this place so eerie?“
Fiolle can't help but asked those words as she had no idea why the place gives is an off feelings.
”Is it alright if I burn this things?“
”No! Don't do that!“
A voice of a girl echoed as she shouts trying to stop Fiolle who was about to burn the plants
”Who are you?“
”Please, don't burn the plants… they are scared…“
She seems to be a student. Judging by how she dress, she is indeed a student.
”Xyra, what are you doing here? Everyone was looking for you“
”Flinn, there are people out there. They came and the plants told me that someone was about to burn them“
”Huh? There are other people outside?“
I had no chance to see the two of them having a conversation since the girl who shouts at us a while ago was in the second floor of this place. she was talking to a guy who seems to have a name of flinn. So she was Xyra? And.. She can talk to plants?
As soon as the flinn guy look at where we are, we saw his face as someone who seems to be a student. Just like the girl Xyra, he is also wearing a uniform.
”There really is other people out there!“
He exclaimed as if he was surprised by the fact that there are still human being outside other than them here hiding in the ground of their school.
”Wait, I will call pres“
Press? Is he trying to call their president or sort?
We did go on their grounds without notice, so maybe we should ask politely and so we can see where my sister is.
”Let us wait for their president to go. Don't make any nasty movements that they might dislike“
I let them be reminded as they all put their weapons down yet not fully removing it on their hands.
That was the thing I was expecting them to do. Not because you are being polite to anyone, you would let your guard down and be the one they would use.
Being able to know your place is a good thing, but being able to know where you must not be at ease is the greatest thing to do. Not all place are safe. Even if it seems like it brings no harm
”There are indeed other people…“
It was a girl with a long hair who go down the floor and walk towards where we are. So it was the pres they are pertaining? The girl with a short bubbly hair was still upstairs.
”The plants told me that they are not going to harm us“
I was surprised to hear such words. Is she really having the ability to talk with the plants?
”Good day, who might you be? Why are you here?“
Her tone was strict and for a teen like her, she seems to be capable and all. If I guess it correctly, she should be in the same age as my sister.
”We are here to look for my sister. Her name is Leisya Shunjinko. Do you know where she is?“
There was a frown on her face, it was as if she was thinking about who that person was. Does she have no idea who my sister is? I thought she was famous at school? Ah, but the school was so big, maybe they are not in the same department—
”Ah, now that I remembered it… Leisya, that girl. Yes I know her. But she isn't here. She left“
”What do you mean she left??!“
Her tone… why don't I have a good feeling with her tone I don't even like how she acts as if she was so knowledgeable and a genius. Her voice shows how arrogant she is.
At first I thought that she seems to be capable and have an understanding of an adult but… by the time I noticed it… she is not really like what I think her to be.
It was more likely… a feeling of facing someone that was hiding her true colors.
”Why won't she? She disappeared and didn't show up. That means that she was not here. That she leave this place. Isn't that right?“
But… why would she get out of this place when it seems like it was protected with great security?? Why would she do something that would make her be in danger?
Also, why does this girl have that attitude and arrogance?
I need to find where Leisya is… I need to find her before something bad happens— no! What am I even thinking? Leisya is not a person to be caught just like that. She was a genius, a kid with lots of potential and all… there is no way that she will be in harm
”Sk what should we do now? Ethan?“
It was Saypher who asked me. They all know that I am looking for my sister. But knowing that she wasn't here… there is no way we should stay in this place.
”Can we stay here for a while?“ Kiel asked the girl having a long black hair. She seems to be surprised by the question given to her by Kiel. He may be younger than her but he do have confidence, even if he doesn't tent to talk to others much.
”Hmm, and who are you?“
”I am Kael Zion. I once saw the badge that you are wearing. It was the same as the coat with a blue and white coat is having“
Holding her chin up as she use her hands to support it, she seems to be thinking about the thing that Kiel said
”Can you tell me more about how that coat looks like?“
“I have two buttons with a shade of gold on the sleeves. It was small enough to even be noticed. But there is a red neck tie with a letter of P on it”
As soon as she heard what Kiel had said, she seems to know something.
“What was your name again? Kael Zion…”
“Wait… are you perhaps.. The some of Professor Zion?“
”Why do you know that he is a professor?“ Kiel asked. Wait… what are they even talking about? I don't get what it was but..
”So you are his son… that was a luck. Alright, as Professor Zion holds a great standing in this school, it would bring a bad reputation to the school if I as the leader of the student committee would disregard the fact that you are the son of our professor. Letting you be outside is the same as killing you. Alright, all of you can stay here in the academy as you pleases“
