The day has a bad start... Will it get worse?
Naturally, the days were similar, but the day was heavy for some reason. It passed very slowly, or perhaps because I did not sleep well, it seemed slow to me.
Especially with this difficult problem! The professor says that this week I tested the efficiency of the information students receive! What bad luck indeed.
I need to provide myself with information about the test in order to pass. Perhaps I can prove to myself that my labor was not wasted.
I'm a lazy person, life! I think I've reached the library and I need to stop thinking and frustrate myself even more.
"It is good that the work is easy and also in the library." Thanks to the library, I can provide myself with information for the test, good! Now I'm going to start arranging one of the shelves to clear up my time for studying...
Grebitch didn't come today either... And for three days now, I haven't even noticed his shadow. Where is he hiding? Come to think of it... It would be nice to wipe the floor with him as soon as he appeared.
I just want to confirm my instinct and find out the reason for the ominous feeling. Fortunately, the shelf was small today and did not require any effort, and was very useful in obtaining the required books.
It was the first book about the human body and internal organs, and many, many old books contain useful information and good doctors, and some contemporary books also contain great things!
It seems that I will be staying for a long time in the library today...!!
Although I am not a big reader, sometimes reading is fun. And I'm not going to lie...it's boring now because of studying! If it were another time, I would certainly enjoy reading.
Thanks to studying, the day went by slowly and it got late while I was in the library, to the point that my eyelids became heavy uncontrollably!
I quickly stood up, slammed my hand on the table and pushed the chair , feeling angry with life and studying.. I deserve this trouble, if I had not been stubborn and insisted on travelling!...
I would have been sleeping deeply and comfortably in my home! But I brought this on myself!
Anger really rose to my mind from studying. I quickly grabbed my things and returned to the room. I did not pay close attention to the strange emptiness in the sanctuary, even though it was not very late.
yawn!!
I lost count of the number of times I yawned and rubbed my eyes, I'm really sleepy! Good thing I approached the room just one floor up and I would be on my bed.
But... since when do the winds come as ships desire?
"Help! Help! Someone help me! Please help me!!"
I heard a clear call for help, and immediately the drowsiness was removed from my mind and my senses became sharp.
I hurriedly looked around to see where he was coming from, and it was almost from the sanctuary.
If my sight doesn't deceive me, is there someone running away from a monster right now? Or rather, this person floats in the air and is thrown to the ground...
I blinked several times to take in the scene, and without thinking, I crossed the small fence between the floors and jumped from it.
drop!! She landed noisily on the ground and hurried to find the man being attacked.
Thanks to my sharp senses, I can easily know the location of nearby monsters and, with the exception of ordinary humans, I can see the monster well.
but now! I'm very confused, I just feel the presence of two entities but I don't see them! I quickly approached the person who turned out to be...the director ?
"Mr. Savos Lee!.."
I knelt down in front of him and put my hands on his trembling shoulders.
"Mr. Savos Lee, are you okay?!" He looked around in panic, and a lot of sweat broke out on his forehead, looking extremely terrified now.
He even said intermittently, "a.. a monster! ... Save-
save me!!... please! a monster.. - are coming!".
I was very calm, looking at him very calmly, while he was terrified and continued to wail.
"A monster!... He will kill me... Please save me.."
I stood up and looked at him coldly. I extended my hand with a slight smile:
"It's okay, sir. It seems... Gone now." My smile widened gently: "Let's get out of here so he doesn't come again..."
Immediately, you stood up and clung to my arm, looking truly terrified.
"Please - please take me from here!"
"Okay, it's okay, just calm down and it will be fine.."
I walked, speaking gently, while he held on to me, and little by little we reached the destination. Imagine what?
The same place where I killed the monster a week ago!
I slowly turned to the director, huh! He was looking around with astonishment and fear. This is really ridiculous.
I couldn't help myself any longer and burst into laughter. He stared at me strangely, as if I was crazy, but that was enough.
"Oh my God, Haha! You are truly a brilliant actor. Please tell me, who taught you this acting? It's a good job, Haha!"
I quickly removed his hand and moved two meters away from him. l stopped laughing and looked at him coldly, giving him an evil smile.
I set my hand on fire, taking the humblest of defense.
"It's really enough of an act, hey! .. Mr. Grebitch.."
He looked at me in shock, and contrary to what I expected, he did not procrastinate and laughed slowly, his laughter rising louder, and suddenly his appearance completely changed from that of the director to the real Grebitch.
And by real, I mean he has light violet eyes, long pointed ears, and slightly long turquoise hair, dressed in elegant clothes that look like a nobleman? .
What is this exactly! ? It is impossible for it to be a human being... and I do not believe that there is a monster this beautiful... Ahh... I mean like this!
He laughed quietly without worrying.
"Okay, I admit it... You passed the test, Miss De Lier..."
I did not understand anything from him, but I prevented myself from making an idiotic face, and said sarcastically sharply,
"I was wondering when you would reveal yourself!?"
I smile exaggeratedly and put his hand back in a wise manner. He said with a side smile, which I think was sarcastic: "So, you knew that I was not human?"
I laughed sarcastically, while clenching my burning fist. "Ha! Of course I know, and since the first meeting..."
He raised his turquoise eyebrows in mock surprise. "Wow!, Miss de Lier! I see that you are really observant, but this is certainly ambiguous, so how do you know who I am?.. Just from the first meeting?.."
"Oh, of course I confirmed that you were non-human when I saw you one time in the library with eyes that were a strange color. It is impossible for you to be human, but just keep quiet about it until you reveal yourself and I will kill you then."
That was really the truth, ever since I saw him I felt his strange aura that didn't make me feel comfortable, plus I actually once saw him with that light violet eye color. And then I confirmed its truth!
Gribitch laughed quietly, for a moment it seemed like a sarcastic laugh, and then he stared at me blankly, giving the ghost of a smile, and I was no different from him, too, and I asked sharply, pressing on the words.
"Who are you?!"
He just stared at me without speaking, and after a while he said: "I am not an enemy.."
His answer only made me more upset, and it was not satisfactory because of the ambiguous tone with which he answered me.
I repeated the question, perhaps he would give a better answer. "I will not repeat! Who are you exactly? And what do you want from me?"
His smile widened and he said calmly,
"Miss de Lier, you can come with me quietly and find out everything for yourself."
Anger rose violently in my head.
This speech is very familiar. It is the same speech that I heard six years ago from one of the intelligent monsters. He had an ugly appearance, unlike Gribitch now, which seems very suspicious.
I said sarcastically, "Huh! Really?.. Do you think, just by saying this, that I will go with you? Haha!.. This is really ridiculous!.."
I laughed sarcastically, hoping my anger would calm down.
On the other hand, Grebitch was very calm, other than the smile that was wiped from his face.
He pushed his glasses back with his index finger and said seriously: "Miss de Lier, I understand your situation very well. But...don't you want to know the secret of the power you possess?"
My eyebrows furrowed tightly, and I looked at him with a mixture of shock and anger. Without realizing it, I shouted at him, and the flame in my hand grew stronger.
"You!.. How do you know the secret of that power!"
A slight smile appeared, almost malicious, and he put his index finger on his mouth, indicating silence. "This is a secret... If you become with us, you will know this secret in full."
Despite his gentle voice, his words carry a certain mystery
"Hey, are you bargaining with me now?"
I smiled in astonishment and anger, and gritted my teeth, but I said coldly and sarcastic, "And if I don't? .. won't you tell me?"
he smiled sarcastically, "You and your freedom.."
I couldn't help myself, without warning.
I lunged at Gribitch or whatever and blasted him with intense fire from my right hand, but he quickly dodged it and jumped back.
I really don't know why my head is burning so much with anger , but I think it's because someone knows my secret? But anyway, I kept throwing flares from my hand, while Gribitch dodged them.
This time, when she got tired of his evasion, she made several small flails, made ice daggers with fire daggers, and threw them at him.
Indeed, I succeeded and my bullets hit Grebitch and knocked him to the ground. He coughed several times in pain but looked at me calmly,
"Miss. - cough - we are not enemies! I am here to negotiate, please stop attacking me!.."
I advanced cautiously and lit my hand with fire to threaten him. "So tell me, who are you?!"
"We are the monster world," he said with exaggerated seriousness, "or... the high world—."
I cut him off and asked with a mixture of sarcasm and astonishment,
"Ha! And what do you want from me, monster world?"
He answered and began to adjust his position, trying to stand.
"I told you, I am here to negotiate. You are one of the centers of the legend."
I mocked seriously. "Huh! A legend? And what is that legend?!"
He finally stood up, his foot firmly erect as if he had not been knocked down a while ago!
Grebitch answered seriously: "Miss de Lier, these lines are very important and nothing can be revealed here. It is better that the answers to your questions be with those who are higher in status than me, as I am merely an employee in the Kingdom of the Heart."
I backed away from him at an appropriate distance, intensely defensive. I don't know why his words affected me, or perhaps I believed part of him, but this does not mean surrendering my neck to him easily, as I do not yet know exactly what it was!
But.. there is a word that greatly interested me. "The Kingdom of the Heart?..."
I muttered to myself, wondering where I had heard this name before, but despite the distance between me and Gribitch, he answered my question, which I
think he heard:
"The Kingdom of the Heart is... It is the central kingdom that lies in the middle of the world of monsters, and it is a peaceful kingdom..."
Yes, I was sure, I had heard the name of that kingdom before... not once, but many times.
My mind became confused from the many questions and hesitations. I even forgot to respond to his previous words. But he broke the silence,
"Miss de Lier? Do you agree to come with me to the kingdom?.."
It seemed that he thought my silence was agreement, but my silence was overwhelming anger, a very strange anger. I do not know exactly why this intense anger, so much so that, unconsciously, I attacked Gribitch with fire from my hand. And when I tried to control the ground to stabilize it.
I was the one who was installed with control of the Earth!
Hey, hey, what's that! And how in the first place! I'm sure I targeted Grebitch and not myself!
When I raised my head in amazement towards him, I found two people next to him who had not been there before, and both of them were wearing hoodies.
But one of them was raising both hands in the air... This looked like... controlling the Earth! .
As if this amount of astonishment was only the beginning!
The real astonishment was when one of the two people took off the hood... specifically, she was the one raising her hand in the air.
And by feminine, I mean...it's Lauren.
Yes, Lauren, that cute brunette girl!
The astonishment wasn't because of the identity of the controller, but the controller himself, I mean... is there anyone who controls items like me? !
This is really shocking. I have lived my life wondering, is there anyone who has amazing power like me?
I think the answer was in front of me now. He muttered in astonishment, "You are like me? How?!"
Lauren smiled as usual and said gently,
"Don't worry, we, like you, have control over the elements, and we are also peaceful..."
Her words calmed me somewhat, or I decided to listen to them, but of course I have to be careful!
I said calmly, completely contradicting my previous anger.
"So, what do you want to say?"
I felt the ground beneath me soften a little, followed by Grebitch's brief answer: "You must come with us first, miss. This answer is with the Queen and the court.."
I gritted my teeth in anger. I was not comfortable with the person from the beginning, and every time he spoke, I became angrier.
Moreover, does he think that as soon as I say these words, I will naively say, "Let's go!" .
I felt my tension increasing beyond its limit, as well as the hesitation between believing them or fighting them! This is really very confusing and difficult to think about.
Do I agree? Or do I fight?
