Chapter 5 - Eden and Eliza

On a skyway, where a huge piece of land floated beneath the clouds over the paths of lust mountains, this land was covered up in an immersed forest, large waterfalls falling beyond the land.

It had mainly all four seasons nourishing its beauty. At the main point, there stood the school year not everyone could believe in its existence. It was called the Gate of Golden Bridge.

Unlike other schools, colleges, and boarding schools where students wake up in sleepy heads, swinging their lazy structure straight to the restroom and then preparing themselves for their boring days which is the start of the school day until accidentally, they realize they have mixed up with their stained shirt and school uniform.

At the last moment for the bus to arrive, they must change again to zero.

But, here's the thing; Gate to Golden Bridge is a mystical school that admits all types of creatures around the globe.

Whether you are a wizard blooded or a mermaid creature, a man with intelligence beyond a normal human being's brain, or with an ability hidden deep within you. Not to mention, even supernatural holders are additional to overpowered beings.

As long as you wish for a place in society your best choice is to attend this school.

Meanwhile, this fantasy academy was burning up in preparations. Staff members, Professors, Teachers, Sirs, Masters, and lecturers plus Principles every single teacher was rushing here and there completing tasks, cleaning up the mess, and arranging the halls of classrooms.

Each gentleman and lady carried sacks of supplies while dashing into the quarters. Witches and Wizards flew around on their brooms while Fairies ran through walls.

"MY TEACHERS!!" alarmed the brown-haired man at the center of the doorway, pausing every crazy teacher in their pace. All eyes were on him.

He coughed a little speaking up "My people! It's almost time to carry on our students and bring them to the Golden Bridge! We will be soon working hard to brighten their future! Prepare yourselves!"

All the stars dashed away when a man showed up questioning whether the Golden Express shall take off.

"Exactly!" nodded the man in grave demanding to set off all trains and let them race around the globe carrying every invited student to their new destination.

This academy had nearly eight trains that flew into the sky each carrying forty carriages. From the underground station of the skyway, eight golden trains cried out their whistles and flew out into the vast sky, each of the carriages heading into different continents of the world.

In the other corner of the world, inside a house, two wild animals were staring at each other inside a room. One was hung upside down, the other stood grave at the door.

"Why would you attack the Magus blood, Eliza?" Asked Eden with a smile as he gazed at her "After all, you are a fan of Mages, right? So these two are similar to each other".

"Shut up, you!" thundered the blonde girl" Don't try to pick a topic with me. You know very well that I hate speaking with you. I hate you!"

"Then why did you come here?" Came up with a grinning contest.

"Eh! You brat!" She grew furious as she stamped her foot just by getting annoyed by him "I want my birthday party to BE a great party. I am warning you! If you stepped on pace into the party hall..... I will suck away all your blood leaving you a lifeless body on the ground" she threatened him as she flicked her tongue over her thumb.

However, on the other side, Eden chuckled at this remark.

"WHAT?!" stunned the girl. She started boiling up like a pressure cooker due to which she lost her temper. She grabbed her right sandal and threw it straight at him by force.

Luckily, Eden threw his head to the right and the scandal got to shoot out of the open window like a rocket behind him.

"Eh! AAAAA! Why did you laugh!" She roared at him tearing get throat.

"I laughed because you forgot the main theme of a bloodsucker" replied Eden "and that is... You can't drink a Magus's blood, you need a pure human to remember?! Or else you might get a tummy ache."

This made the girl mad.

Both Eden and Eliza were step-siblings. Eliza had her lovely parents in her support however, Eden was just a lost-and-found boy. He was taken in by Eliza's daddy as he suggested keeping him, in the hope that their daughter would get the company of a sibling while the boy was just a child.

Unfortunately, things didn't work out the way they were planned.

Both Mama and Eliza didn't agree with him as one family. They mistreated him. They left him to starve for days, never cared for him or even asked what he wished for.

They made sure he should stay up in his room from dawn to dust and never bother them. The only time he was cleaned, fed, and cared for was at the time when Daddy was home.

There would be an argument about the boy being abandoned and then the boy would be called down. It may seem the boy would be saddened and darkened in his expression, displaying the solitude of his life.

On the contrary, Les Miserable didn't play here. The weirdest fact that both the girls discovered in him was this boy smirked at them instead of showing his puppy eyes or begging for mercy. They learned that this boy was solid from the inside.

Hence, the Mother ignored her misbehavior with him and decided to run the house as a normal lady.

But, for Eliza, this was a match.

She stamped an oath in herself that she would try her level best to make him cry by tearing off his smirk.

Tragically, even this didn't work. She would always get caught by her father and then get scolded before she even realized that boy was smirking at her from behind the crouch just like pinballs when they annoyingly winked. Her plans would fail and she would be punished.

Just like every sibling stamps an incorrect name for the little ones, the same choice she agreed to in the hope of her being satisfied and finally calling him a name she felt relief when speaking out.

"You are a dough-head!"

"Mm?" The boy grew surprised by hearing this. "A dough head? That's over, Eliza."

"It suits you due to your filthy hair color! It's white like dough brat!" Thundered the girl at him.

Both these siblings weren't at one age. On this day, Eliza had turned 14, and Eden grew up to 13 but, both were quarreling like little kids who might anytime grid wild and start scratching each other. Fortunately, a call from heaven rescued the house from havoc.

"ELIZA!" mama called out from the lower floor" Come down here! I have prepared your dress!"

"Coming!" replied Eliza as she veered at the boy warning" Beware of your behavior! My eyes are keen on you!" She was about the quit when Eden called out,

"Hey! Cinderella!"

"What! Dummy!" She burst into rage.

The hung youth pointed his thumb at the window behind him and reminded "Your scandal is left out. Be careful 'cause it might have crushed on a passerby's head and he might be looking for you to tear you off."

"Eh! IDIOT!!" shouted the girl when Eden grinned at her adding,

"A prince won't come to find you with the scandal. You need to search it yourself."

"QUIET!" roared the girl at him and slammed the door in his face.

The loud noise burst his ears as he stayed in his pose stroking them.

"Ouch! That kind of hurts. Well...." he did a Kolmon and sat up on the broom adding, "Well, nothing hurts much when you are surrounded by weird kinds of stuff..."

When he opened his eyes, seven small cubes were floating around him and an eighth ring was in front of him. This was displayed as a tag that said

[HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOST! HOST NAMED: EDEN LOCKER]
