"I was just curious." Gia pulled away from her grasp. They had been told about the barrier being set up. It wasn't just done by a few magic users, they were a collection of top-ranked users there in the organization.
Recalling what Ayanami had said, she couldn't help but think there was so foul play involved that could have gotten her mixed with their caliber.
"Curious is an understatent, whoever might have done so can't be trusted," Fae said with an air of warning. "Only those of higher rank who have ties with the organization can. Except the individual has an insurmountable power."
Gia gulped, finally understanding why it was stupid to go along with what Ayanami had said. Whatever might have gone wrong was not sothing worth ntioning.
"Do we need to be one of the best selected during the coming graduation?" She queried, unsure of her skills as a magic user.
Leaving the window, she closed the curtains. "It's not about being the best, but about your usefulness to the organization."
Tilting her head to the side, she stared at her in confusion wondering what she could be saying. "I'm not following."
"As it's said, if you aren't useful you can never... and I an never graduate no matter how many tis you try." She said in a whisper.
'But... but Ayanami has ties with them.' Gia took a step back in horror. She had always wondered why she had been approached by her.
Looking around, hyperventilating, she held onto a grab bar on the wall for so support.
"What's wrong?" Fae questioned, worried about what was going on.
"She has ties with the organization." She said in a breathy voice, her vision began to blur as she tried to stay awake.
"Gia?!" Fae assisted her in keeping her balance, concerned about the sudden behavior change. Whoever she was referring to could wait, Gia's current state was a bit alarming and needed attention.
"I'm f..." Her speech slurred, then she went limp on Fae's shoulder.
"Shit!" Fae cursed looking around for the possible solution to this.
With a touch on her shoulder of Gia. Through levitation, Fae transported her back to her bed.
Gently pulling the covers over Gia, she looked down at her for a while, her eyes narrowing, deep in thought.
"What the heck happened here?" She asked no one in particular.
With a sad look, she sighed as her attention was on the fruit basket.
She had seen a similar experience and was surprised by what just transpired.
"Please be safe." She whispered as she watched Gia's body shiver. Whatever was going on in her mind, soone was trying their best to stop her from speaking.
Raising her hands, she cast a spell that surrounded the infirmary. This way no one could break the barrier she had set.
There was only one person she could et to ascertain her suspicion.
Slam!
The door made as she left the infirmary.
–––––––––––
"Lumina, open up!" Fae knocked on her door in quick successions.
Click!
Jumping back at the shock she received when her eyes were glued to the towel-clad Nix.
Her mouth hung open for a while in disbelief at the steam that ca off him. He had another towel drying his wet hair.
The sll of the sa lavender she had gotten used to from Lumina graced her sensory nerves. There was sothing about his sll that felt different, and intoxicating.
Nix looked down on her, his eyes following her gaze to where it had been glued to for a while.
Fae gulped, imdiately closing her mouth before she began to salivate at the well-defined abs he had.
'What the hell is wrong with you?! Pull away!' She tried to force her gaze away from him before it turned awkward.
Nix raised a brow at her reaction to his half-naked body. "You have a male dorm counterpart, am I right?"
That were the right kind of words she needed to get herself together. Straightening her back, she tried to look in, below his armpit. Trying her best to dodge the question.
Even though she had a male counterpart, he was as shy as most girls caught changing their clothes. No matter how she had tried to bond with him, he was always clothed and wouldn't try to attempt what Nix had done.
'You lucky fox.' She thought with envy of what Lumina enjoyed.
Nix shook his head, understanding what she was trying to do.
"Are we allowed to roam the hallways during this ti?" Nix questioned, even though he would never follow the rules set if there was ever one.
"Nix! You are back?!" She quickly changed the subject, hoping that wherever Lumina was, she could hear her as she increased her voice as she spoke.
'Where the hell are you, Lumina?!' Fae sweatdropped as she began to feel anxious standing as stiff as a pillar in front of Nix.
'Why would you answer the door while being in only a towel and worse, in front of ?!' Her eyes widened, speaking volus as she tried to speak but couldn't.
"Is that question also too complicated for you to comprehend?!" Nix said as he shook his head in disappointnt.
All Fae had done after she had seen him was open her mouth with no words except grunts and a definite blush spread across her face.
'I don't need that look right now!' He did a facepalm.
Tired of waiting for so sort of explanation, he took a step back, throwing the smaller towel he was using to dry his hair over his shoulder.
Fae had considered his actions strange, her intuition told her he was about to act.
True to her suspicion, Nix slowly closed the door, enough for them to maintain eye contact as he did so.
"No... wait!" She called out in desperation, using her ability to hold the door's jamb before it closed in her face. What she had planned on doing wasn't accomplished.
