"Haa~ I finally finished" Finishing my last book I closed it and put it down next to the mountain of books that I had read.
Right now I am in the greatest library of the Akademia or even Sumeru, the House of Daena. Now that I'm here I have to say that I'm quite glad that my dad sent me here in the first place.
I had known about Akademia even when I was cooped up at home but coming here, I've realized that it is absolutely not as I thought it would be. Of course, my father had books that were way beyond some of the stuff here, even people here still count with their fingers. But the information within these halls are things that my father never showed us... or at least hidden from us.
He had given me a book about basic chemistry and it mentioned something called a 'Nuclear Bomb'. I had asked Dad about it and if he did have a book for it then he could give me a book about it since I was curious.
But hearing me asking for it made him go pale. he told me that it was a weapon of mass destruction. it could probably wipe the whole of liyue if you shove one or two of them in their land. but of course, he didn't give me the book so knowing that I'm sure that he has a lot of things he has not shown us.
he has always been a man of many secrets after all.
when I first came to Sumeru I applied to the Akademia so that I could join as Dad recommended. I had gone through a few tests, and from what I heard from other applicants they were supposed to be extremely difficult.
but I had obviously passed with flying colors. the test was a written test that asked you about various topics that were absolutely unrelated to each other. but apparently, it was a test to see which of the six Darshans you could possibly be put in in other words it was some sort of aptitude test.
though I aced the whole thing earning the intrigue of the Akademia, apparently in the whole history of the Akademi the highest score someone has gotten was a mere 46 percent.
so someone getting it aced aroused their interest. after that, I was asked to take a test related to the six Darshans, usually, people would only take one of them if they even passed the test, to begin with, but they just wanted to test me more.
I had passed all six of the tests though the Kshahrewar Technology test and the Rtawahist Astrology/Illuminations test were the ones I had the lowest score. I have a vast amount of technological knowledge from my dad but it's different when it is on than just reading a book. and with the Astrology test, I had to try to do some divination with some constellations but it was my first doing a divination so it took me a while.
the funny thing is that when I told them it was my first time doing it they all had shocked faces at what I said. they told me that it takes time to connect to the stars or some bullshit like that but I think that they are just making some unneeded extra steps for it.
Anyway as I passed all the exams I was told to join one of the houses of the Akademia I ended up choosing Spantamad that were related to Elementalism. I know that I should have joined the Etiology or Biology related houses as those were the ones that interested me the most.
But I asked myself 'What do I want to do there' 'What do I want to make' 'what legacy do I want to create' After thinking about it hard and chose the Spantamad – Elementalism.
while I was thinking about what I wanted to I remembered the magical appliances my dad had. he told me that they ran on elemental energy and that it made it easier for him to do things like other magical appliances he had. I decided to join the Spantamad house to learn more about the elements, leylines, and the world's energies so that I could bend them to my will and make living better for other people.
I could make so many types of things that could make people's lives easier. like my dad's stove, vacuum cleaner, and many other things. I had also wanted to start small so that I could get a taste for doing research so here I am now in the Akademia Library doing research.
"hm~ Ley line and its basics, Elements and their reaction, Technology and Elemental Energy, Ruin Guards and their structure, My~ you have been reading quite the interesting topics," said a voice behind me
Looking behind me I saw a tall slender woman with short black hair, golden eyes, and a face that looked like it was a sculpture molded to be beautiful. though I never left my guard down as I've learned that there are no such things as friends in the Akademia, only people with interest.
"And who might you be" I asked in a neutral tone.
though she only smiled back at me and said "Just curious about the so-called new genius of the akademia she even refuses to wear the Akasha Terminal calling her a fool."
earning a glare me i said, "I couldn't care less, and someone told me not to wear it so I listened."
hearing my words her eyebrows raised "Oh and who might that wise person be?"
"I have no obligation to tell you," I said in a cold voice.
"oh come on~ I'm just curious as to who would tell you that, I'm sure that it's some high-ranking person in the Akademia," she said with curiosity.
'High Ranking? why would she assume that... well it's not like I can say no since I don't know much about Dad. who knows he could probably be one of the Ancient founders of the Akademia for all know.
I was curious to see if she probably had any connection to Dad so it wouldn't hurt to ask.. Right?
"... it was my dad who told me not to" I answered as I waited to see her reaction.
"And what would his name be" she asked with a smile.
"his name is Meliodas" I answered back but the moment I did her smile broke and her face looked like she was about to break down.
Looking at me she asked "A-and w-whats your full name" she asked with a shaking voice.
seeing her reaction it seems like she knows something, good.
"It's Violet Pendragon" I answered back.
hearing my words tears broke from her eyes as she started to weep from happiness "Heh HAHAHA he's back he's finally back!!!" she laughed in happiness as she cried tears of joy.
'well it seems like she does know Dad, and he's back? what does she mean by that?' I thought to myself.
as I waited for her to calm down she finally stopped her happy crying and looked at me with a smile "It seems like you the captain's daughter, fufu~ though I'm jealous that he got together with another woman and didn't even look for us" she remarked playfully as a dangerous glint appeared in her eyes.
feeling chills down my spine I said "I'm adopted along with my other four sisters" I Answered to clear up the misunderstanding.
"I see~ so he still has the habit of picking kids, *Giggle* I guess he never changes," she remarks as she giggles to herself.
"huh, he picked up other kids?, and why do you call him Captain?" I asked as I tried to pry out answers from her.
hearing my questions she only smiled and said "Sorry but I'm not telling if you want to ask somebody then you should ask him of all people"
hearing this I became disappointed at the fact that my only source of my dad's information wouldn't tell me anything and I couldn't force her to do so.
"Then could you tell me your name at least," I asked, if I could find out her name then I could maybe find some info about her from other people in the Akademia?
"It's Merlin" she answered as she turned around and started to walk away.
But before she went far she said "I know that you are curious about the captain but I can't tell you about his past without his permission, but I will tell you this... he should have been among the seven" Saying those words she snapped her fingers and disappeared from my sight.
"The Seven? What does she mean by that" Hearing her last words my mind started thinking of the possibilities until it stuck me like lightning.
"Captain, among the seven, he's finally back!!!. Fuck dads a god!!" I said in realization.
that's the only answer I could come up with, from calling dad captain meaning that they had some sort of group, among the seven meaning that he is strong enough to be one of the Archons, and he's finally back meaning that he disappeared or died and came back somehow during the Archon War!"
"I have to tell them" Getting up in determination I started to pack my things in my room as my first stop was Liyue where my sisters Asuna and Mtsuri were. seems like I'm going to have a long talk with them when i get there,
