"Huh? What did you just say?" My sister asked towards another child, with orange sky peeking through the window, sign of evening has come to pass.
A girl then whisper back to Aurel, telling her back the information that she just said to her.
"No way that happen, right?" My sister said in almost a shouting and bewildered tone. Confused, I walked to them after I tidied up my stuff from my desk.
"Sis, what happen?" I asked, startling her.
"Ah, you're finished already?"
Seeing me, the girl quickly left, leaving me, my sister and only a couple of children left inside.
"What did she said to you?" I asked once more, trying to know what does that girl say to her to cause such reaction.
"Ah, nothing. Apparently Thomas fall of a tree again." She said while scratching the back of her head.
Ah, did I forget to tell you, I forgot that this school is almost like your usual daycare system. Just because almost all of the students were from nobility, every children here is so outrageously annoying, there's nothing to be tell about in this last three months except children having fun playing with magic that both I and my sister already knew about.
"Ah...I see" My expression droops to a disappointment, followed by an exhausted sigh.
"Kids, am I right?"
"It's ironic just because we're also the same age as them, not mentally though" I said while pointing out a kid that was just crying just because he ran and slipped on the floor.
"Ugh..."
With a glance, she then look at my book while also glances back at me.
"Is there something wrong with it?"
"Not really, I just wanted to know what did you write for the past three months since we left Ignarion, other than kids running around and causing troubles like forest fire." She said in almost mocking manner as she sat on my chair.
"Is that even a question?"
Hearing my reaction, she sighed. "I suppose not even a creator of this world could make the past three months into a story" She quipped sarcastically while putting her head on the desk.
"I'm exhausted." before she proceeded to close her eyes.
"Ah, yes. It does make sense considering we're doing child labour all day" I replied back with my stern yet undertone backhanded meaning.
"It was because of boredom, okay!?" She shouted back, snapping back into a sitting position. "At least child labour were much better for me than just sitting in class, doing literally nothing!"
"Don't just stand there with that smug on your face. You know you could convince Cedric to brought us back to Ignarion yet you decided not to." She said in a loud manner, pointing her finger towards my smug expression.
"Relax, you do want some well-deserved vacation right?"
"Well..." She stopped for a while before she mumbled. "It was fine at first, I mean..."
After I thought about her reaction along the way as we walked back to our dorm, a thought passes in my mind. You're as bored as her right? Why don't you get on a camping adventure for a while? Killing some monster might get you leveled up, you know?
"Sis" I said to my sister that's below my bunk bed as we were ready to sleep for the night.
"What is it, brother?"
"Want to skip class tomorrow?"
"...Sorry?" Confused, she then came out to my bed. "You said you wanted to skip class tomorrow?"
"Just a day wouldn't cause that much problem, would it?" I reconfirmed, followed by my nod.
Before long, she then clenches her hand while also closing her eyes...She seems a little irritated as she mumbled. "I swear if a problem happen to us tomorrow, I'll blame it on you for jinxing it" She said before she jumped at me from excitement.
***
"Next time if you jumped at me like that, just say it when" I groaned while I hold my arm that I thought almost break upon Aurel's weight yesterday. "You know even if you're probably only 40-50 pounds (20-25 Kg), you're still not as light as a feather"
"Brother, look! A caterpillar with wings! It's rare to see that in Ignarion." She interrupted, as she's purposefully doesn't want to heard anything related to what happen the yesterday night.
"Aurel, just hear m-"
"Did I stutter?" She turned with a terrifying smile before she continue walking through the forest. "Anyways, the sound of the waterfall beside us is calming huh?" She added.
With a he atmosphere then quickly changes from calm to threatening. Noticing this, our eyes then darted around our surrounding while looking for what causing this.
"Brother, there's something that's spying on us, right now" My sister stated.
With a nod, my sister immediately healed my arm and we recited our magic, backing towards each other whilst trying to get ready for what kind of threat that's coming and now targeting us, that were cloaked by the thick forest.
The bush and vines from the forest then started to rattle as a being, spotted our weaknesses, sudden yet expectedly lunge from it.
"Mountain Wolf at 7" I shouted.
"Alright, Fire Ball!"
The wolf, then dodges her fire ball before it proceeded to rush it ways towards me, trying to claw me before it ran behind the bushes.
With a quick reaction time, I soon dodge it strike before I aim my finger at it.
"Flare Focus"
In just a second, the wolf heart was pierced before it wobbles back into behind the bushes. After a short break, a pack now came from behind the thick forest. Now with more target, with a grin both on our faces, my sister commented.
"Time for target practice, brother?"
"Totally!"
The fight spans from the early morning to the late afternoon, with more and more wolves came from behind the thick forest, possibly alarmed and called by the howls that the wolves perform throughout the day.
Slash after slash were healed one by one as the wolves' remains keeps piling up. After what it feels like forever, I finally dropped, kneeling on the ground with corpse surrounded us, waiting to be absorbed into our level system.
All I could say was gargled and mumbled at this point, with foam started to came out from my mouth. I could felt everything in my body as it like burning inside out, to the point that I couldn't even keep myself from trembling.
My sister then collapsed fully to the ground. Even though our mana still hasn't reach it end yet, our body just may or may not not suitable for fighting hundreds of wolves at the same time.
"Hey...brother, remember when I only tasked you to fix the nations that the MC went through...?" She said with a hint of pain behind her stuttering voice.
"Fixing nations, huh...We're not even started at one." I said back with also a pained and mumbled voice.
"I know..."
"Ah, I wish I could just reset back..." Soon enough after I said that, my body collapsed to the leaves covered ground before my vision went black.
After a while, grasping upon what just happen, I quickly woke up, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. All I could see was a sight that's just...indescribable, of how serene and peaceful it is. In front of me, there was a pool of water, clear as a mirror, to which drops water tick down to it like a drizzle.
Sparkling sounds that's out of this world, blue plants and sprouts coming out from the ground, with white vines covering the huge pure white tree that shines like a porcelain that surrounded the pool of water. It seems this environment is itself more out of this realm than the world where this suppose to exist.
I then decided to inspect myself upon the clear water, just to see that my body was blurred from some sort of visual barrier, as I just barely see the outline of it. A while later, I decided to walk around the pool, trying to inspect more of this weird surroundings that I'm in.
An information tablet then popped up in front of me, startling for a bit before I recomposed myself to figure out what it said onto it.
Gain ???? Xp from 121 Mountain Wolves
I killed that many?? My thoughts gasped before trying to open the measly unassuming piece of text for more details, but my attempt doesn't result to anything other then me wasting my time, trying to access something that's none existence in the first place.
Gave up after several unsuccessful endeavor, the next thing that passed my mind was to search my sister and see if I could know more about this world that we're in. Through the forest of tall white trees, I ran inside it, trying to spot anything that has the colour of scarlet red.
"Aurel, where are you?" I shouted like a child trying to find its mother. "If you hear me, don't you dare stay quiet!"
Until, after sometime of running, I finally see something with red scarlet hair. Excitedly, I immediately ran towards it, thinking that it was my sister before I was stopped by another thought passing through my mind. Ardentia, this world itself is different from the world that you created...Are you sure that's your sister?
Deciding to be more cautious, I inspect her movements from the bushes. Trying to get closer and closer to get a better look, just to see the sight that I never thought I would see before.
A red dragon, with scales as strong as diamond and shiny like ruby, the size of a three story building just sitting there with his hands playing from what it looks like a game of card with my sister sitting in front of him, having a time of her life.
"Flamaris, I never thought I would even see you here, it's been how many millennia since then?" My sister giggled.
"It's been only 2000 years, Elyssia. I'm a little surprise for your decision to retire from the title of Goddess of Knowledge. I never thought such a prideful goddess would just relieve her authority just like that." His voice echoed throughout the forest, as he asked in a strangely informal manner.
"Hehehe" She chuckled nervously with sweats visible on her face. "Can we not talk about that and just move on?"
