In the middle of the dark room supported by a cold black floor, alex knelt with both of his knees touching the cold floor.
His heart beat quickly as if it would explode, his ears rang together with his vision that started to blur. Alex turned to his right where krystal was jumping around happily showing off her new wings, he then looked to the front where saint azara slightly lowered her head toward the two of them.
Alex had difficulty hearing the conversation between saint azara and krystal, he shook his head, pain spread throughout his head as if thousands of needles were stabbing him, alex’s breathing started to beco irregular, cold sweat flowed from his forehead.
He turned back toward krystal, this ti krystal looked at him and tried to approach him, her hand almost touched alex, but darkness covered alex’s vision first, he fell face first forward, his face kissing the cold black floor.
The ringing in his ears did not stop, but he could hear the voices of krystal and saint azara "what happened to him?"
Krystal shook alex’s body "is he dead?...." saint azara then pulled golden light from inside her body, she covered alex with her golden light "it seems he is tired after hearing the fairy tale..."
Saint azara smiled while looking at krystal, she looked over krystal’s whole body while her own body and alex’s started turning into golden light "we will continue later....if you are sleepy don’t hold it in...just sleep..."
Krystal nodded in understanding, saint azara and alex disappeared from the dark room, krystal returned to her loneliness, but she looked happier than before, she laid down on the cold dark floor, her eyes closed, she saw darkness again.
The sa darkness that alex was seeing in his sleep, he only drifted around doing nothing until finally a point of light ca toward him, a point that slowly grew larger and sothing was painted there.
Alex opened his eyes, he blinked once because of the light he suddenly saw, the first thing he saw was a bright chandelier with a luxurious style, alex swallowed his saliva, a bitter taste could be felt on his lips.
Sothing entered his hearing, a sound like soone clinking glass, alex moved his hand, he felt sothing cold.
A person’s voice was heard which made alex turn his head, there saint azara was sitting on a chair while eating her food, she looked at alex while biting at as large as her face "are you awake already? You really fell asleep after being told a fairy tale..."
Alex scratched his cheek, his eyes narrowed, his voice sounded hoarse "a fairy tale? I think the word fairy tale no longer fits..." alex swallowed his saliva, he rembered all the things he saw and experienced inside the fairy tale again, he even got goosebumps just imagining it "....a nightmare seems more fitting."
Saint azara chuckled, she bit her at again "to think you call your ancestors’ story a nightmare, you know you could get cursed? Do you want to beco a stone?"
Alex tried to stand up, he saw his own reflection on the glossy floor "cursed?...." alex smiled faintly "there is no way parents would want their children to beco stone..."
Alex slowly sat on the floor, he scratched his neck while looking at saint azara who was still eating "besides, you are a little heartless aren’t you? Why didn’t you move to my room or the sofa..."
Saint azara clicked her tongue while biting the at she was eating "if you woke up because I moved you, you would complain too..." saint azara tapped the dining table "....just eat here already, you haven’t had breakfast right?"
Alex opened and closed his mouth several tis, he was confused about what he wanted to say "what ti is it now?" One of saint azara’s eyebrows rose "around nine o’clock I think..."
Alex let out a sigh, he lowered his head "damn...all those nightmares were only two hours? I thought I spent at least thousands of years there..."
A vibration sound ca from saint azara, her smart bracelet vibrated, alex did not care about it, he simply fell asleep on the floor again, what he accidentally heard was saint azara’s shout.
"What?!....I thought she wasn’t coming?!"
"She ca without an escort and only flew here alone?!"
Saint azara slowly stood up, she left the dining table and passed alex, but her steps stopped, she turned around and looked at alex’s back that was sleeping sideways on the floor "hey, I’m busy....the dragon princess is going to join us..."
Alex did not listen to saint azara while saint azara spoke again "if you need sothing just tell the servants....most importantly don’t ask for weird things...."
Alex raised his hand and showed a thumbs up, he agreed to saint azara’s words only because he heard the word ’weird’
Saint azara then left the luxurious dining room, leaving alex still lying on the floor.
Alex played with his fingers, he drew sothing he did not know on the glossy floor, his face looked empty as it reflected on the glossy floor.
He did nothing for so ti until finally he started standing up, his body began to gather strength to rise, a tired sigh ca from him.
He looked at the dining table that still had a lot of food left, his stomach growled but his desire to eat had disappeared. Alex swallowed his saliva, in the end he only tore off one chicken leg and ate it while walking out of the luxurious dining room.
His steps felt like they were floating, his mind was empty as if still left sowhere else, but he did not stop chewing the chicken leg and walking, and strangely he did not fall while descending the stairs, he did not crash into walls or passing servants.
His steps brought him to the grassy field inside sunkiss fortress, the green grass grew lush in contrast with the sea of sand outside, a warm wind blew against his body behind his sports jacket, the sunlight’s shine slightly dazzled him.
A sigh ca from him, he was only one step away from stepping onto the green grass, no sound could be heard except his sighs and the blowing wind, no other students could be seen, he was alone until a voice made alex turn his head.
"Sir alex? Do you need sothing?" Alex turned to the right, no one was there, he then looked downward, one of his eyebrows rose.
"You? Were you the one from before?" Alex imdiately crouched down so he could speak more easily, he looked at the hedgehog servant girl from the natural beastman race, the hedgehog servant girl wore servant clothes, the spikes on her body pierced through her clothes.
The hedgehog servant girl nodded several tis, she smiled faintly "do you need sothing? You have just been spacing out..."
Alex sighed, he pointed around the grassy field "why is it so quiet? Where did everyone go?"
The hedgehog servant girl looked over the entire empty green field, she glanced around every corner of the visible area "it is indeed quiet here....the other students are in another area or another building...." The hedgehog servant girl looked at alex "this is saint azara’s area..."
Alex opened his mouth and nodded in understanding, he looked at the green field again while the wind blew over the two of them, the hedgehog servant girl spoke again "later near evening there will be preparations for the party, and at night the welcoming party will be held..."
One of alex’s eyebrows rose, he pointed toward the field "the party is here?" Alex exclaid weakly "woah...that’s really nice"
Alex fell silent for so ti, he only stared at the grass that looked soft "can I lie down there for a while? I will leave when the party preparations start..."
The hedgehog servant girl nodded several tis, she pointed backward "of course you can...do you want to bring you a blanket or an umbrella...?"
Alex thought for a mont but then shook his head "I don’t think it’s necessary..." alex took out two small papers with symbols on them.
The two papers with symbols glowed and one large lollipop appeared along with a banana ice cream, alex gave them to the hedgehog servant girl who hesitated to accept them.
Alex imdiately stood up, he removed his shoes and sports jacket which left him only wearing a white shirt and sports pants, he started walking "good luck with your work..."
The hedgehog servant girl could only stare blankly while both of her hands held a lollipop almost as large as her face and a lting banana ice cream while alex started walking toward the middle of the field.
A refreshing feeling spread through the soles of his feet, he smiled unconsciously, the blowing wind hit him and this ti no jacket blocked it, he imdiately laid down looking at the clear sky, his smile was still clearly visible before finally disappearing slowly.
’Damn...there are too many dangers in this beautiful world...’
Alex swallowed his saliva, he forcefully closed his eyes ’krystal is a mystical creature? That’s good....but there is a boss bigger than demons? That’s a disaster. I need to ask katarina...’
A tired sigh ca from alex, he opened his eyes which once again made him see the blazing sun and the moving clouds, several tis the clouds shielded him from the sunlight ’the closest thing is training with saint azara...’
’I hope the silent mountain expedition goes well....I don’t want to fight that leak...damn’
Alex covered his forehead, his head felt painful ’I haven’t done anything but I’m already tired...’
Alex slowly blinked once, he then blinked again which made his eyes feel heavy, he relaxed his body and the grass supported him to rest.
A shout from the students entered alex’s hearing, but alex ignored it until his first soul core made him open his eyes.
Alex’s black eyes widened, the sunlight shining on him was now blocked by a large figure with two moving wings, a long tail could be seen along with four legs, on its head two long white horns could be seen.
Alex imdiately rose from his sleep, he quickly prepared himself as if the figure would eat him, the figure then landed in front of alex, its landing caused the grass beneath it to be crushed.
Alex raised his head, he saw the figure’s long neck, one of his eyebrows rose when he saw the dark gray figure ’a lizard?....what is this? A dragon? Why is the dragon so small? Why isn’t it as big as malakar or the others?’
The gray dragon lowered its head toward alex, smoke ca out from its entire body, its purple reptilian eyes looked at alex "hey human...please find clothes for ..."
Alex opened his mouth, he could not speak seeing a dragon that talked instead of roaring like malakar.
Smoke continued to billow until it covered the gray dragon’s whole body, slowly all that could be seen was its silhouette shrinking until its height was not much different from alex with two horns still visible above its head.
Alex stared at the figure while the smoke slowly disappeared carried away by the wind, a scream was heard, this ti sounding like a woman’s scream "hey!! Quickly give clothes!! I’m not wearing anything right now!!"
Alex’s eyes widened, the smoke covering the woman’s figure kept disappearing, alex hurriedly took out clothes and pants from his smart bracelet, unfortunately all he had were patient clothes along with the pair of sandals he had used before "damn..."
Alex no longer cared, he imdiately threw the patient clothes, pants, and sandals.
The woman scread as soon as she received them, but she imdiately wore them "what is this?! Why patient clothes?!"
Alex cursed himself, he was afraid of being eaten alive which made him imdiately run barefoot, he directly jumped over the wall at the edge of the green field as if he had co back to life.
anwhile the smoke covering the woman imdiately disappeared, she now stood in the middle of the field wearing patient clothes and a pair of sandals, the wind blew against her long dark gray hair, her bright purple eyes showed calmness, but not her clenched fists and the veins bulging on her forehead.
Two figures approached from behind her, one of them was saint azara, she spoke before noticing the patient clothes worn by the dragon woman "princess calista, why are you not escorted?! I thought you weren’t coming-" saint azara’s words stopped when she saw the clothes calista wore from top to bottom, she even saw the sandals.
Saint azara covered her mouth to hold back laughter, while kong who was also present did the sa, both of them held back their laughter.
Calista slightly turned her head backward, she pointed toward the place where alex had been sleeping earlier, her voice sounded calm on the surface "who is the black haired black eyed boy sleeping here?"
Saint azara and kong looked at each other, both of them knew who calista ant, laughter broke out between the two of them while many other students ca to the green field to see calista.
