Since Mio has nothing to do for one hour, she decides to go up to Alice to ask permission to use one of the Training Grounds next week. So she made her way to the Principal's office with Somi in her hands. When she made her way toward the office, she got a lot of stares and it was all because of all the stories that had been going around her, but it was not just her who was getting stared at, even Somi was getting some.
Of course, there are a lot of talks going on about Mio that are circulating around their Academy and it was because of what she did in the Gate accident yesterday. Though she doesn't even know why such things would go around the school since what she did is not something so shocking, when she thinks about it again, maybe it was shocking because people would naturally think about her as a nerd who just does Theories every time.
But she can't blame them since it is natural, human will judge someone just because of what they do or what are their hobbies, even though it is bad, she can't do anything about it.
As for Somi, students and some teachers would be naturally attracted to her since it was the first time they saw her, and the fact that she was being carried by Mio just draws more attention towards her. It was clear that they had some close relationship, but they couldn't guess what their relationship was, and probably the question that was in their head, was why she was wearing a blindfold.
But even though all of the attention was towards them, they were all just ignored, even if they were talking, Mio and Somi just ignored all of them and continued their way towards the office.
When they finally arrived, Mio saw Martin leaving the office with a slight smile on his face, but when his eyes set on Mio, his face immediately turned cold. But he couldn't do anything about it and he just ignored her brushing his shoulder against her to which Mio just chuckled before whispering something.
"Such childish acts~" When Martin heard what Mio said about him, he almost exploded in anger, but he still managed to keep it himself as he didn't want to cause another commotion that would go into Alice's office. So he just ignored her and continued his way without looking back.
"Does that person have a grudge against you? He just intentionally bumped into you." Somi asked curiously, but she was more curious as to why Mio didn't do anything because from what she knew, that was something that Mio wouldn't let slide. Her personality is someone who easily holds grudges and would take revenge on them, but she just saw Mio letting what that man did to her.
"Well… taking action right now would just make it worse for me. Maybe the rules or laws of the Immortal Realm are different from here, but killing someone is illegal here." Mio slightly chuckled as she stopped just as she was about to knock on the door to answer Somi's question.
"Ahh… so there are laws huh? You are not entirely correct, because in the Immortal Realm, there is not really a law that is set. Because just as you can guess, in that kind of place, as long as you have the power or money, you are the law. You can do anything that you want." Somi explained slightly what she knows, though why she said that is because in reality there are still laws there that people need to follow. But of course, in the face of immense power, that law can bend.
"Huh… that is interesting. Maybe I'm more fit in that kind of place." Mio laughed once more before finally knocking at the door of Alice.
She only needed to wait for a few seconds before she got permission to go inside and when she opened it, she heard a gasp from the person inside of the room.
"Mi- Mio!? What are you doing here? Do you need something from me?" Alice immediately stood up and looked at Mio tensely, because she originally thought that it was another person who wanted to talk with her, but it seemed that she was wrong about it.
"There is no need to be so tense, Principal. I just came here to ask for permission if I can borrow one of the Training Grounds at my homeroom time on Monday." Mio smiled as she didn't mind Alice's reaction when she saw her, but as she sat down and looked at her, she saw the bag under her eyes which concerned her a bit.
And when she remembers what happened just a day ago, she immediately knew that it was because of the Gate that she became like this, but it was also because of her poor staff that she became so tired and sleepy.
'Looking at her condition, it seems that she hasn't slept for a whole day because of what happened… That guy is so fucking useless, he loves her and yet he won't even do anything to help her, fucking pathetic. It seems that he only loves her appearance.' Mio said to herself as she got mad at Martin for being useless in front of the woman he loves.
"Ah… you want this for your students? Well… I can do something about it, but there is only one place available at your time, but the thing is… that place is smaller than the rest of our Training Grounds because it is the oldest one. But you don't have to worry about the equipment there, the only thing that is outdated is the whole place itself." Alice said that she could approve of her request, but because of the time difference, there is only one place where Yuki can hold her Training.
"It doesn't matter to me, as long as there is a place where the students can use it, I'm fine with it." Mio didn't mind the place even if it was old as she knew that she could tamper with it anyway. There is no one going to stop her anyways from doing it since in reality, she was helping the school since she was basically making it better.
"Consider it done then, is that all that you want to ask to me?" Alice asked curiously, but she herself didn't even know why she asked that, she just felt sad knowing that it was the only thing that Mio wanted to ask her, in her heart, it seemed that she wanted Mio to stay longer.
"Sadly it is, Principal… do you perhaps have something for me?" Mio asked as she already knew that there was something that Alice wanted for her, but she just didn't know what it was.
"No, there is nothing. I was just mindlessly asking." As if she was caught, she panicked a little and diverted herself by reading through the documents at her table, but in reality, she was not reading any of them. She just wants to escape from those eyes.
"Take this, consider it as a gift for me for accepting my request, and also for letting me bring her with me to the Academy," Mio said as she handed Alice an incense stick to burn.
"Hope this helps you calm down…" Mio said as she burned the incense herself and when Alice smelled it for the first time, she felt her whole body going down, and she didn't even realize that she already fell asleep.
'Take your rightful sleep.' Mio said to herself as she placed a soft and comfortable blanket on top of Alice's body before leaving. She then set up a timer on the door where no one would be able to go inside so that no one would bother Alice while she was resting.
