Renjiro leap onto the bed as soon as lyra left, he was feeling a bit tired and decided to have a few hours of sleep but before he did that he opened up his system to check on the notifications he received earlier.

He nodded to himself content with what he saw, and shut his eyes falling asleep immediately. By the time he woke up it was morning already, and his stomach rumbled, he found it very surprising that no one decided to wake him during dinner time so he could eat.
he peeped out his window seeing that it was still dark and that he had enough time to do whatever he wanted to do before lyra came knocking, he headed to the dining area looking for something to eat and he saw that there were untouched dishes on the table, and they were still warm he grabbed some for himself and walked back to his room to sate his hunger.
He ate to his fill and went into the bathroom to get prepared before heading towards his mother's room, he saw that she was still unconscious and there were still tubes connecting to her body, after his slip up the previous day he was making conscious effort to refer to caelia as his mother.
he saw Finnegan hunched by her beside, every now and then his body would tilt to the right or left before he managed to stabilize himself, renjiro found the scene completely hilarious, he knew the only reason Finnegan was comfortable falling asleep was that there were guards situated outside and any attempt for a foreigner to get through them would generate enough noise to wake him up.
Renjiro walked towards caelia and Finnegan reacted so quickly renjiro didn't see him move, he found himself with his back on the wall and his feet in the air, Finnegan dropped him immediately he saw who it was.
''I am so sorry about that, but don't sneak up on me next time. Always make your presence known to me'' Finnegan bowed to renjiro and went back to sit down.
Renjro noticed that Finnegan had bags under his eyes and he looked completely haggard, he must have been going through a lot while taking care of caelia, his gaze moved to caelia and he saw that she still looked the same way she did when she first fell unconscious.
''is she getting better now''
''since the last time you were here she has woken up twice and every time she gets up her condition seems to get better, elysandra said her previous estimates were wrong but she is sure caelia should regain her consciousness in less than twenty four hours''
''talking about elysandra, where is she. I haven't seen her in a while now'' renjiro asked
''elysandra was tired since she had been working nonstop for a while now and she was beginning to feel dizzy so she had to get some rest but I believe that she will be here soon''
''I have to get going, when I hope she would be conscious when I am back'' renjiro said and walked out of the room, it had gotten brighter and he could see the sun peeking over the mountains, he went to get his bag and waited outside the castle doors for lyra, hoping to surprise her with his punctuality this time.
He waited for close to an hour before a sleek black vehicle approached the family castle, renjiro stood and one of the guards rushed to pull open the doors for him, renjiro wanted to stop him but decided against it, he had to keep up with the façade of a noble.
''I am surprised you were early, you saved me the stress of coming over to drag you away'' lyra said with a smile.
Renjiro smiled at her since he didn't have a reasonable reply to her statement, he turned towards the window and enjoyed the as the engine revved and the vehicle shot towards the academy, renjiro kept mute since he was avoiding having any interaction with Melora, he found her increasingly obnoxious with each statement she made. Renjiro kept staring out the window till the vehicle rocked violently.
''what is happening'' Melora shrieked in fright they were about ten feet in the air and if the crashed to the ground at that speed someone like Melora with such a weak constitution might get seriously hurt.
[System shutting down]
[Safe landing activated]
The vehicle shook violently before descending slowly, renjiro and lyra stepped out of the vehicle Melora tagging behind them.
Three men with funny looking mo hawks hid behind trees and high fived themselves happy with their job, they had stalked the area for days, tracking the time the particular vehicle passed by and when they knew the area would be deserted.
They waited till the vehicle approached and managed to shoot it down with a disruptor, which scrambled the systems signal, and sent it crashing. Considering the system model, they were certain that they were sure enough to make enough money to keep them settled for a while.
When they saw the weak looking snobs that walked out of the vehicle, they were ecstatic, they could make more money by kidnapping the nobles and demanding for ransom, they high fived each other again and waited for the three runts to draw closer to them, so they could capture them and head away with their loot.
Lyra felt like something was off, this was the first time the vehicle had developed a systematic issue, she suspected that the issue wasn't internal.
''melora get back inside the vehicle, zephyrus stay behind me '' lyra said and decided not move any further.
