Chereads / A way back home / Chapter 16 - Alexis

Chapter 16 - Alexis

{Ana's POV}

"Ana~"

I was walking to my house, went someone called me, as I had only two people would call me by my name in the mage academy, I knew who the owner of that voice.

"Alexis?"

"Ana, how come you are here? I thought that your teacher would already put you to sleep for good" Said Alexis with a smile.

Alexis was a friend of mine since we were kids, she was a blond-haired girl with beautiful green eyes, however, that wasn't the most … attention catching fact of her…

*Boing*

"As usual, your two mountains are too lewd"

"… As usual, your sense of humor is too wicked" Said Alexis with a smile.

"No, no, I am serious, how do you even walk with those two balloons, like can you even see your own feet? How about you lend me some?"

"They are not that big, okay!?" Said Alexis.

Well jokes aside, they were REALLY huge, however, I won't tell her that.

"Hey Ana, have you heard the rumors about the transfer student!?"

"Yeah, I heard them, what about it?"

"What do you mean what about it!? It's a dual element mage that have no more than eight years old!? A genius, a genius among geniuses! He must be for a real powerful house!" Said Alexis.

He was just a homeless kid though.

"I heard that he is a powerful magician that expense tons and tons of money to buy that weird artifact that drains the opponent's mana! How rich must he be!"

He was crying for a gold coin the first time I saw him.

"I heard that also has a little sister! And she is very talented as well! She must be a genius as well!"

Yet, she cries all day and can't even get one-minute separate from his brother without making a scene.

"Y-yeah, but you know, rumors are just rumors…" I answer.

"Ana…"

Alexis came close to me until she looked me right into the eyes.

"Wha- what is it?"

"I also heard a rumor, in fact, is the louder rumor you know, coincidently, it has to do with an older student who always accompany the so-called genius" Said Alexis.

"Ye-yes?"

"That's right.. and the older woman happens to be a woman with red hair, there maybe a lot of colors of hair in this academy, however, the red color is rare one, too rare indeed"

"In fact, only two persons have that hair color, one of them, is currently on a mission so, it cant be her, the other one on the other hand…"

"I am currently looking at her"

"That…"

"Ana, confess, how do you know the genius? What is his name? where does he live?"

"Calm down Alexis… that are too many questions at once"

"Well, there is a better way to settle this"

"And that would be?"

"Let me meet him"

"NO.WAY"

"WHY!?"

If I had to say a reason…

I looked at those huge balloons looking at me. They really piss me off.

"Because… he is a very busy person, so, he doesn't have time for visits!"

"If you don't tell me where he lives, when I eventually meet him, I will tell the principal that this wasn't the first time you escape from the academy"

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Prove me!"

.....................….

"So, that was the situation, Noah. Let me introduce you, this is Alexis Pells, a master mage of A class" Said Alexis.

I was wondering why she would visit me out of nowhere, so it was for this?

"Hello, miss Alexis, my name is Noah, this is my little sister Hope"

"Auu~"

"If you want you can- Ugh!"

"Kya~ isn't he a little cutie~"

Before I could finish my words, I sense a huge pressure on my head…

A very soft one.

"Alexis! Let him go!" Said Ana.

"Auu!"

Woah, this one was a first, that Hope and Ana where actually agreeing in something, for some reason, these two always seems to fight, big brother is very happy.

"Little Noah, do you feel uncomfortable~?" Asked Alexis.

"I- I am not a little kid" I answer with all my will.

"That's not an answer~" Said Alexis.

"…" I couldn't answer.

"NOAH!"

"Au!"

What do you expect me to do? Despite my looks, I am a full thirty-year-old man.

"M-Miss Alexis, would you please let me go?"

"Alexis is just fine~"

"But I-"

"Alexis~"

"I-"

"A-L-E-X-I-S~"

"…"

This girl was that type of girl, right?

The pushy one kind.

"A- Alexis"

"Yes~?"

"Wo- would you let me go?"

"Sure~"

Finally, Alexis let me go, however, not before I was put on the ground again, another pair of soft things welcome me.

"Alexis! What do you think you are doing!?" Shouted Ana.

"Haha~ I was just playing with Little Noah~ I could ask you the same though, what are you doing~?"

"I-"

Ana looked down and saw me looking straight into her eyes.

"I am- yes! I am defending him from a predator like you!" Shouted Ana.

"Predator? That's a little bit rude"

"Before you two continue, Miss Ana would you-"

"Miss?"

What's wrong? I called her Miss until today! Why does she look so angry!?

Is jealousy!? It can't be right!?

"A-Ana"

"Yes?"

"Would you mind putting me down?"

"I don't wanna"

"Eh?"

"I don't wanna"

"This isn't a matter of you wanting or no!"

"Au! Auuu! Au!"

"Ana! Not fair! I also want to hug little Noah!"

"LET ME GO YOU TWO!"

.....................…

After a couple of hours, I was finally let go of those two.

Currently, Miss Leyla is taking a bath with Hope, I am glad that those two are getting closer this past few days, it seems that Hope is gradually opening herself to Leyla. That put my heart to rest.

"Au!"

"Master Noah"

I look up and saw that Hope and Leyla had just go out of the bath.

"Leyla, you can go rest now"

"Don't you want anything else, master?"

"Don't worry, go rest, you have worked hard today as well… Oh! But remember to wake me up earlier tomorrow, I have to go to my first class"

"I will sure to remember, you will have the same breakfast?"

"Yep, just a small bread and some milk"

"Au!"

"Little girl, you should eat a little bit less, you are become chubbier by the days!" I said while I grab the puny cheeks of Hope.

"Auu~"

"Master Noah, you should really eat a bit more" Said Leyla with concern.

"I am fine, don't forget to prepare your own breakfast as well"

Leyla only smiled and nodded, then she closed the door.

"Come little girl, time to sleep, tomorrow is a big day for big brother"

"Au?"

"Hehe, your brother will make his big debut! And with that, I will be able to earn a lot of money! And I will be able to buy you more and more of fancy stuff!"

"Au!" Hope hugged me with a happy smile.

"Don't worry about anything my little sister, big brother will always protect you"

"Auu!"

I hugged back Hope and lied down on the bed.

That's right, my real objective coming here it wasn't to become a magician and gain respect, All I want is to make a lot of money to secure Hope's future and find a way to go back to my world.

With those thoughts in mind, I fell asleep.
