But what Ronald said next, even his guards turned their heads looking at their master in surprise.
"Sadly we couldn't rescue you earlier and you had to go through those troubles.... as a compensation allow me to send you to the University of Tuberg as a resident student, what do you say?"
Lucifer's eyes narrowed and he turned towards Stella asking her for confirmation. Stella excitedly nodded her head giving her approval.
Lucifer then answered, "How can I say no to you Mr.Ronald"
Ronald almost choked on his saliva,
"Do you think am blind not seeing the obvious confirmation you asked from Stella, what if she hadn't approved huh". But he didn't speak it aloud.
Ronald after getting the confirmation, immediately brought out a slate from what seemed like air and passed it to Stella. Stella took it in a flash and looked at Ronald suspiciously.
Lucifer licked his lips when he saw Ronald bring out the slate from air and murmured
"Space Chip"
Ronald after looking at Stella's suspicious gaze just gave a sigh and nodded towards Lucifer before leaving with his guards.
As soon as he left Stella immediately held Lucifer's chin and started looking at him, checking his throat, eyes etc. Lucifer could only growl in anger because of the abruptness of her actions but he didn't resist.
"Alright you are fit as a bull, I will discharge you soon."
Lucifer asked in frustration,
"Atleast give me an explanation, what all was that about?"
Stella passed the slate given to her by Ronald to Lucifer and started speaking,
"you are going to the University of Tuberg which is anytime better than the what I was asking for you but let me tell you beware of Ronald he's a crafty guy that's all. Also fill in the details on the slate and you will get admitted to the University."
Lucifer couldn't care less about Ronald's craftiness after all he wasn't a 17 year noob which Stella thought he was. But still knowing that Stella was worried about him made him somewhat giddy. Lucifer wanted to say something but at the end he just bowed and said,
"Thank you Stella!"
Stella gave a slight smile and passed a suitcase to him, before leaving.
"There are some clothes inside, get changed and ….hmph get the hell out of my hospital freeloader."
Lucifer just smiled looking at Stella's tsundere behaviour. He filled in the details on the digital slate and after confirming his admission status he changed his clothes. Lucifer after looking at the clock which displayed 9.56 pm he silently left the room moving out of the hospital.
Inside Stella's Office.
She was standing in front of a wide window looking at Lucifer. When she did tests on Lucifer she had found no dosage of sedatives or whatsoever but Lucifer had clearly lied about it to Ronald. Stella just shook her head burying her doubts.
"Good Luck Brat"
....
The air finally was rid of the medicinal smells. Tall Crystal building stood before him. The scent of a metropolitan city, the Scent of opportunities and the seed of ambition growing in his heart, Lucifer could sense it all.
He checked his pants and found a Credit Card inside probably kept for him by Stella. He looked at the map in the quantum Slate and took a public hover bus towards the University.
An hour passed by….
Finally Lucifer was standing in front of a huge gate with some Guardian knight looking Statues beside them. Suddenly a hand grabbed his shoulder.
"I know the feeling of entering a new place. School, High School and now College its amazing right but we are both late the opening ceremony was a month ago. All those chicks they must already be booked by now but don't worry i heard there's a brothel nearby"
Lucifer stiffly turned his neck around to see what kind of phenomenon had landed beside him.
But little did Lucifer know that this same 'phenomenon' here was going to be one of his closest confidant one day!
