432 Fall and Rise - III
"His performance was quite good in the tournant," Sylvie said,
"What do you think about it, Emmy?" She asked.
"I think the Young Master's future is brilliant," Emmy replied.
"And what about the report I asked you to make?" Sylvie said as she activated a runic barrier around her room.
"I have seen changes in Young Master's behavior, he doesn't look similar to the one I rember just as reported by Damian Seymour," Emmy reported.
"I see, I thought it was a lie, but he is getting better," Sylvie smiled.
"When I saw the ssage from Damian, I thought he was just covering Asher as his friend," Sylvie said.
Emmy noticed the smile on Sylvie's face as she opened her mouth again.
"About Alyssa Astaria, she wasn't present at the tournant, so I don't have any information regarding her," Emmy said.
"It was reported that her body collapsed, and she couldn't fight at all,"
"And judging from the reactions of the students, it seems that the collapse happened just before the tournant started,"
"I am not sure whether she is capable of using Young Master, but I don't think that's the case," Emmy said.
"We have looked into her past and this is the report we have collected," Emmy touched the device on her wrist as a hologram popped out.
"Selling art?" Sylvie muttered.bender
"It seems that she wasn't around the Astaria household a lot and most of her expenses were made from the money she earned by selling these arts,"
"All the people that have bought these arts didn't know her identity and their backgrounds also seem clear," Emmy reported.
"But according to Alia, she was using Asher," Sylvie said.
There was a burdenso look on Sylvie's face as she didn't know that the relationship between Alia and Asher wouldn't get better inside the World Academy.
"About Lady Alia, she is still in her old group," Emmy added.
"Asher is smart enough to know the consequences of his actions, but I wonder what he is thinking," Sylvie said out loud.
"Shouldn't we tell him to distance herself from that girl?" Emmy asked.
"I would, but I want his experience inside the World Academy to be free," Sylvie replied.
"He is still young, and there's a lot he will learn in the future, I am sure of it," Sylvie said.
"I was hoping to talk with both of them, but it seems they will not co back this year," Sylvie said.
As a mother, she couldn't find fault in her own children. Sylvie had kept a close eye on what Alia and Damian reported to her, but she found it hard to say that to Asher.
In her eyes, it was the first ti Asher was taking the first step to do sothing, be it the classes he chose, unlike the emotionless boy in the past, he was getting better, although that change appeared small, but Sylvie hoped that smaller would beco sothing bigger in the future.
***
In the Faculty Council, Asher was working on a report which Fernando told him to complete as soon as the End Year Tournant ended.
Asher's original research was based on drugs that could offset the burden of mana inside one's body, but it wasn't a tested result.
Because Asher's body could manipulate all mana inside and outside him at will, he was an exception for whom such a drug would have no side effects on.
But the potency of these drugs could have been harmful to others, and for such reason, Asher didn't object to the claims of Fernando who said that this research wasn't valid.
While looking at the past research, and mistakes that were pointed out on these graded reports, Asher's focus wasn't here.
It was the first ti he had found himself so distracted by sothing.
As soon as the End of the Year Tournant ended with his defeat and him claiming Second Place, there were a lot of people that were talking about him, but all he wanted was to et Alyssa.
But when he went to the dical Facility, the Head Doctor denied entry of any students inside.
Due to the injuries that happened on the final day of the Tournant, there were a lot of high-ranking students that were inside the dical Facility, and with the restrictions in place, there was no way for Asher to et Alyssa.
Flip!
The sound of the paper flipping was echoing the seemingly empty room with nothing but a table full of past reports.
Outside the Faculty Council, in the outer sector, Damian was talking with Eric.
"So, the Young Master is stuck doing reports?" Eric asked.
"Can you imagine?" Damian said while shrugging his shoulders.
"Imagine performing so good and you can't even enjoy it, I was hoping we could have at least celebrated him taking the second place," Damian said.
"Yeah, I guess I will see him when you guys also graduate," Eric said.
"Two years went by so fast, I still rember the first day we joined the World Academy," Damian said with a smile on his face.
"Can you imagine the Second Place was behind most 100th place rankers at that ti?" Damian said.
"I was helping him with sparrings and now looking at him makes a bit jealous seeing his progress," Damian said.
"Haha, Young Master Damian, you are quite an oddball yourself, wouldn't your ranking be higher if you had let Lord Seymour teach you his martial arts?" Eric said.
"Don't call Young Master co on Eric, we are friends, just call Damian, I have told you so many tis," Damian changed the topic.
"I can't, as the son of the Head Butler of the Greville Family, I am expected to follow the etiquette at all tis," Eric replied with a smile on his face.
"What etiquette, you are a brute that wants to join the Abyss Guild instead of having it easy and overtaking old man, Stephen," Damian said as he lightly punched Eric's shoulders.
"Anyway, it's my ti to leave, tell Young Master I will complete the task he gave to ," Eric said.
"Sure," Damian said.
"And cheer up a bit," Eric slapped Damian's back as he dashed ahead.
"Etiquette my as*," Damian touched his back as he scrunched his face.
"He has such a nosy personality," Damian knew the aning of Eric's words.
"Well, this vacation, I am going to fix everything!!" Damian said as he lifted his fist in the air.
"No brother-sister fights anymore, I will make sure everything goes back to the way in the past," Damian said.
On this vacation to Halcyon, many people had different plans, and all of them waited for these long two weeks to end.
"Elena! Do you think Alia would like our plan?" Kevin asked with a smile on his face.
"She would Kevin!" Elena replied with a smile.
"I knew I could count on you; I hope this will help Alia cheer up," Kevin said.
Elena kept listening to him.
"I will get you whatever you want," Elena muttered softly.
"What?" Kevin asked as he looked at Elena.
lightsnvl "Nothing, show what your other plans are, I will ask Eva to help us with the scheduling," Elena replied.
Far from them,
"Are you sure about this Leonard?" Jack asked as he looked at the hologram in front of him.
"You are doubting my plan?" Leonard asked.
Leonard had already left the World Academy as soon as the Graduation Ceremony ended.
"There are too many people involved, if things go wrong, you know what will happen," Jack said.
"You worry too much Jack, don't worry about this, deal with the Princess that is sitting inside the World Academy," Leonard.
"This is just the start," Leonard said as he disconnected the call.
"Young Master Leonard, the Aircraft has arrived in the Capital of Halcyon, and we are detecting two powerful presences ahead of us," A man wearing a blindfold reported.
Leonard turned around as he wore the cape that was present on the desk, and wore ten rings, one on each finger.
His eyes shined as he looked at them, and suddenly all of them disappeared.
After an hour Leonard was standing on the top of the aircraft as he looked at the two n in the air standing before him.
"I greet the King of Halcyon," Leonard said.
"And Archduke Allister," Leonard added.
"Welco, Leonard Tarvian, to the land of Halcyon," Rewilh said but he didn't look exactly happy with it.
"His Majesty, I think this place is not good for our discussions," Archduke Allister suggested.
Rewilh looked to his right and glanced back at Leonard Tarvian who was standing there confidently.
"Let's move to the Royal Castle," Rewilh suggested.
