"So you're saying that someone from the land was able to achieve the physique of a superior?" Silvia asked upon hearing what Hiro had just said.
"Astra felt it towards one of her teachers, she said that he was once a talented player but because he tried to reach four numbers he became a non player," Hiro nodded.
All twelve of them were sitting around a table.
This was not a simple finding after all, in the thousands of years that the superiors are aournd, not once have they thought about this.
They knew that players will become non players but they didn't know that it could cause such change in the physique of the person.
"It was said that number two would appear and disappear once these players become non players, right?" Asuna, the one with the king number, asked.
She has yellow shoulder length hair.
The others nodded, this is no longer an unknown to all of them. Since someone tried to reach the fourth number, they were already aware of it happening.
As she asked this and them absentmindedly nodding, realization hit them one by one.
"So that's what it was," Takako, the queen numbered superior with silver elbow length hair, voiced out what they were all thinking.
"And because they are born as humans, their life span was not long enough for them to cultivate even more especially so since their physique have changed," Banji, the jack numbered one with silver clean cut hair, added.
He was the current eldest among the Superiors.
"Since that's the case, Hiro, if you can then I want you to enter the school and help Astra to watch over this person. We need to observe and record the changes that had happened for those players that became non players," Silvia nodded her head and tasked Hiro.
"I understand."
*****
Kaito couldn't stop himself from smiling as he and Astra walked towards the train station.
Astra still looked very sleepy.
He can say that she must have tried her best to wake up on her alarm in order not to always be woken up by them.
And since it was still early, they could sit on the train with not a lot of people around.
"Wake me up once we arrive," Astra suddenly said and without inhibition leaned her head on his shoulder.
Kaito chuckled and left her do whatever she wanted.
He looked outside the window and fell into deep thought.
They heard of it yesterday while Astra was sleeping in the room, almost all of their classmates hated her and was even thinking about bullying her.
Even though they knew that the four of them were her friends, they still talked as if they were not there.
'Should we always stay by her side? It is not like she wanted this as well, it was her ability that caused for this to happen. At the same time her strength is far superior than those people who wanted to bully her,' he couldn't help but think.
"Astra!!" Kaname jumped at the still sleepy Astra upon seeing the two of them enter the main gate.
Since she was still sleepy, she was unable to stop the force that came from Kaname's jump, ending with both of them falling to the ground.
"Ouch!" Astra voiced out.
"Hehe, sorry sorry," Kaname stood up before extending her hand towards Astra.
"Geez."
Just as she stood up.
"Making such ruckus early in the morning. Too weak to even fall because of that jump."
"What would you expect from a number four?"
"She just got lucky she got herself a pure ability, if not for that then she should have been on the bottom of the first years."
"Just looking at her makes me irritated."
Kaname wanted to rebuke when Astra yawned so loud, "I'm still sleepy. We still have half an hour before our class, let's go and allow me to sleep."
She started walking not even giving those people who kept talking a glimpse as if they were but air to her.
Her reaction made her friends smile triumphantly while those who speak ill of her were infuriated to the bones.
"So that's the new first year student that was famous," one person stepped in through the gate and commented.
"Why do I feel like she was not someone to be trifled with?" the man next to him wondered while tilting his head to the side.
Both had number tens as their numbers.
"It's the president and the vice president," the students saw them and exclaimed.
Student Council President of Gem Academy, Xenon. A third year with three numbers, ten of heart, nine of earth and ten of spade. He currently has the strongest control of his next level element, Ice.
Student Council Vice President of Gem Academy, Subaru. Another third year with three numbers, nine of diamond, ten of heart and nine of clover. He currently has the strongest control of his next level element, Magma.
These two are also the strongest students of Gem Academy and was among the top for those possessing three elements. Meaning they are the strongest in using the third level element, Lightning.
The two of them smiled at the other students before returning their eyes to the group that was walking further and further away.
"I can feel the same thing as you, her demeanor does not show it but somehow I can feel a monstrous strength within her," Xenon answered as they made their way to their own classes.
Astra and the group walked towards their room and found the door closed, before they could enter Takao and Yuno were called by their classmates for help. Even Kaname was called for some help.
Kaito just furrowed his brow before hearing Astra's sigh.
"What is it?" Kaito asked when she didn't open the door.
Astra looked at him and sighed once again, if she were to open the door that was opening inwards, a bucket of liquid would fall to her.
So without using her hand, Kaito watched her raise her feet and kicking the door open before turning and using her other leg to kick the bucket that was falling towards the center in front where some students are waiting for her demise.
"Aaaaahhhh."
Kaito heard a lot of shrieks before peaking inside seeing three girls wet with who knows what type of liquid.
Their other classmates were watching with wide eyes some were even on their feet, but most of them were obviously shock at what Astra had just done.
With a shrug, she went in and sat to her chair, she placed her bag on the back before lying on the table ready to have her sleep.
The girls who got wet finally returned to their senses and glared at her, just as they opened their mouths.
"What are you doing there? What's with your get up?"
It was their first class teacher, Camelia.
"Teacher it was her, she threw a bucket of some unknown liquid to us," one said while pointing at Astra who couldn't sleep.
'Geez, why is she so early?' she thought before raising her head with a nonchalant manner.
Just in time for their friends to come in and see this scene. Seeing as those girls are glaring at Astra they walked in and walked towards her standing near her as if protecting her.
Astra shook her head in a defeated manner, they only met her yet they are this protective.
