When I had finished transferring almost half of my mana to the strange disk in my hand, I let out a deep sigh, placed it in my bracelet, and took a deep breath.
'Why did you stop halfway? You would normally go all the way to the end.'
'I'm just... thinking, Lithoa.'
It had been three days since the dungeon gate at the academy had opened and two days since it had been cleaned. lany Quie, the rector of the CDA, had single-handedly cleared the dungeon in less than a day. This allowed the gate to be safely contained and transferred.
And now... almost everything was as it had been. At least that's how it looked from the outside. But almost all of Lunerra had in fact changed in a single night.
I sighed deeply as I leaned back in my chair, my eyes fixed on the ceiling, thinking about the news that had been broadcast to all of Lunerra last night.
A new era was indeed beginning. Because... after this sumr vacation, it was going to be very different, especially for the academy students. They were going to help clear the dungeons that had been opened all over Lunerra. Because the number of people available was insufficient to prevent dungeons.
So Lunerra found the solution by providing internships for young people at E grade and above. There were other asures taken, but this was the biggest change that concerns us.
The organization called Saligia was still silent... they introduced themselves, left a 'gift' to the world, and disappeared.
"Haaaa..."
I closed my eyes and let myself sink into the comfort of my armchair.
I thought of just sleeping there, even for a short while. I didn't feel like training. But... just as I was about to surrender myself to sleep, the watch on my wrist began to vibrate and ring, shattering all my sleep.
There was a familiar na on the screen. So I answered the call without thinking too much.
"Julian?"
"Ah, were you asleep? You sounded tired."
"I was just about to fall asleep, it's no big deal."
"Oh, I see..."
Sighing slightly, I straightened myself up, then Julian continued.
"Anyway. You know the Foundation Festival is a month away, right?"
I remained stunned for a mont, staring aninglessly at the wall in front of .
"Founding Festival?"
Julian sighed slightly in response to my question.
"I knew it, you have no idea... Every year in July there is a one-day festival celebrating the founding of the kingdom. Even though this year was a bit of a bumr... it's kind of a tradition now, so they're going to do it anyway. I guess they want people to blow off so steam or sothing. So the festival is happening again this year."
Festival, huh...
I heard about them a few tis when I lived with my parents. I've seen sothing similar on the only TV in our house, but I don't think I've ever experienced it...
When I escaped from that jungle and lived like a beggar in the nearest city, I didn't have ti to deal with festivals. And now...
A festival...
"Oh... You said a month later, didn't you?"
"Yeah, in exactly twenty days."
"Got it. Thanks for letting know."
Julian was silent for a mont. Just as I was about to hang up the call, he suddenly interjected again.
"By the way... I've noticed a rumor lately. You probably know about it since you're always going to the training building."
My finger hovered over the hang-up button. My eyebrows raised in curiosity.
"What rumor?"
"They've been seeing a mysterious person in the girls' section lately. No one could recognize her because she was wearing a hoodie, but recently soone said she had purple eyes."
Purple eyes...? But what does that hav- Wait...
"Celine...?"
"Yeah. I'm not sure if it's her, like I said, it's just a rumor. Do you know anything?"
"No, I've never seen the person you're talking about."
Julian sighed.
"Then it's probably made-up stuff. Anyway... see you, Adrian."
"See you..."
The call went off. An intense and heavy silence enveloped my whole body. I squinted as I stared at the white wall of my room.
Celine... Is it possible that she's the girl in the rumors Julian was talking about? It's been months since I last saw her, I haven't seen her from a distance, let alone her face since that incident, but Aiden said a few months ago that her treatnt was getting better.
Could she really be on the nd?
I closed my eyes once more as I let myself sink back into my comfortable chair.
Like Julian said, it's probably just a rumor, but... I hope it's true.
*******
Six people...
The first is a silver symbol of strength and purity. The second is the most beautiful weapon ever created on Lunerra. The third is a gray light that can touch reality. The fourth is a powerless demigod who holds all the knowledge that exists. The fifth is a symbol of death that can control the rainbow. The sixth is soone the world rejects, soone who shouldn't exist, but who holds the ultimate key.
It has been four days since I heard the poem with this aning in my dream. And a few months since I woke up with the Clairvoyance.
It can't be a coincidence that I received this prophecy on the very day this Saligia organization appeared, can it?
I sighed deeply and opened my statistics window.
