"Maybe I will go and visit Claire," Aether was walking towards his sister's dorm. It's prohibited to go to the girls' dorm at night after 9.00 p.m, but Aether was going in the evening but he still was careful on his way as if someone sees him, he might be in trouble. Aether stood in front of Claire's door and looks around. Since seniors often have classes there wasn't anyone outside walking on the floor, it was quiet. "no one's here, good." Aether knocks on the door, but there was no response and he already gave up as she might have extra classes "She's not in? Guess I will go back to my dorm," Aether turned as he decided to leave, but, "Sigh, she might return soon, I will just wait for her," and opened the door and went in. "This feels like a robbery, I won't be arrested, would I? That would be big-ass trouble."
Aether peeks into the room and whispered "Excuse me, she's not sleeping either. Guess I will wait for her, I don't have anything to do anyway." Aether looks around the dorm but he didn't touch anything. "There's a big difference between my dorm and hers. As expected, the Childs of Lights gets all they need to practice their magic more effectively. Good for you ahh sis." Claire has most of the things that a mage needs to cultivate, when Aether roams inside her room, he could feel the air filled with power as he breathes, a soft breeze going through his body and strengthening the muscles. "Nice, this room is good," Claire and Aether have one thing in particular, both of them are neat freaks, and both of their rooms are neat and clean.
Even from a small age, Claire has already decided what she wants to be when she grew up. She often read books about mages when she was a child, and that becomes her ambition too. After awakening, she started practicing her mana manipulation. She was interested in magic. Today, she is one of the chosen ones in the famous magic academy. If she is standing where she is now is all thanks to her practice and efforts which leads her to how she is today. Power changes people, but Claire's love towards her brother has never changed, "And that's the story of Claire Ryens, anyway I am feeling a bit hungry right now," Aether walks to the kitchen "I am hungry, she doesn't have anything to eat?" Aether opened the refrigerator in search of food "She has the ingredients but I am not in the mood to cook right now. Besides, what if she's is reserving the food for other days." As he closes the door, he hears doors opening "Ahh, she's back now," As Aether walks out of the kitchen, he heard voices "Come on let's go guys..." It was Claire's voice and It seems like Claire didn't come alone and brought some of her friends, can they hide their secret after this?...
"Ohh, nice smells as always, haah, it feels like heaven..." said one of Claire's friends referring to her dorm. "Stop joking around and move forward," said Claire to her friends. "Ahh, you are back," Aether said unaware of the presence of others. He stood there completely blank as if he turned into a stone seeing Medusa. "Ehhh! Aether?" Claire looks at her friends slowly turning her head. Aether standing puzzled mounts "What a good day to bring your friends over ahh, I am fucked now. Haisyhh, this is not how it should go. Does me showing kindness to others is bad luck or something, forget it, she just brought friends over to her dorm. That's something normal, it doesn't have anything to do with bad luck," it was complete silence, everyone was staring at Aether. When Aether saw their faces his eyes widened a bit as one of the girls voiced "I-Its the handsome boy that we saw that day in the hallway, what is he doing here," said one of Claire's friends pointing at him while seeing Claire. Aether then remembered "Ahh, it's the senior girls that I met three days ago. So they are Claire's friends ahh," Aether mounted in his heart.
"Ehh, it's A-Ahh-Ehn," Claire struggling to talk looks at Aether and he nods "Tell them, we are caught red-handed anyway," he whispers in his heart. Claire understands what Aether was thinking and she gets happy and excited to tell her friends about Aether. "Guys, he is my-," before finishing, she was interrupted "What is this? Is he your little boyfriend. Oh My God, you didn't even tell u-," and before that sentence, Claire interrupt with hitting her friend's head. "Hey! What's that for?" yells Claire's friend. Claire sighed and said "Idiot, he is my brother," They were lost for words. "Wha-what?" said Claire's friend who was standing to her left. "Ahh? you have a brother and it's this handsome boy," said Claire's friend who was standing to her right. "??" says Claire's friend who was standing behind Claire.
Claire for a moment took her time to feel proud because her friends know that she is the elder sister of the handsome boy. "Anyway Aether introduces yourself to them," says Claire with a proud face. "Nice to meet all of you again, my name is Aether Ryens." The one standing on the right voiced "You have the same last name ahh, you both really are siblings," she said with a satisfied face. "You didn't believe me at all when I say...did you?" Claire mounted with a spout face. "Well of course we didn't. If I can, even I will take advantage of telling people he is my brother too." she mounted while giggling. "Don't you dare," says Claire clinching her fist. "Anyway Aether, this is my friends, their names are Lena Known, Zheny Shin, and Hinata Lyes."
"Good to meet ya," said Lena.
"Hello Aether," says Zheny.
"Nods," Hinata nodded her head.
"By the way, Aether why are you here," asks Claire.
"I was free today, so I thought I will give you a visit. Since you are with your friends I will come next time...bye!" Aether quickly takes his leave but "Where are you going, you are hungry aren't you?" Claire asks with a rock face. "I-I am not," Even though he lied his stomach "Growls," Aether mounted "Damm you, I am giving you good foods all this time, why are you betraying me like this," Aether tries to run away "Hinata catch him don't let him run away," Claire says pointing at Aether. Hinata pulls Aether back in and closes the door. "Oh my god, how did you know he was hungry Claire," Lena asks with curiosity. Claire with a relaxed face explains "Well, it's because he came from the kitchen just now and I am pretty sure there is nothing there. Besides I am his sister, I know everything about him, hehe."
"Everything is ok except for the last part, haha," says Zhenya.
"heyyy!!"
"Well, that was embarrassing. Who would have taught she could find that I was hungry? I have never seen her doing anything like that back at home..not bad sis, you can use your brains sometimes too," Aether chuckles looking at Claire talking with her friends. "Did you say something Aether?" Claire asked and Aether shooks his head.
