Chapter 66- Excited
"Professor Clara!" While she was on her way to the staff room, Clara heard a voice calling out for her.
"Student Logan? Do you need something from me?" Turning towards the raven-haired student of hers, Clara asked in her usual tone.
Logan, who was breathing a little heavily since he ran all the way to the upper floor, halted before Clara.
Once he calmed down a bit, which didn't take much long, he asked, "I heard about the incident...are you fine now?" Logan woke up today and heard the news of Ceaser's death from his new deskmate.
Upon hearing the news, Logan both felt agitated and worried. He had a good relationship with Professor Clara which is why he felt frustrated with himself that when this disaster befell her, he was lying in bed.
Clara's expression turned a little bitter—well she had to look like that—before she responded, "Well, I am doing fine. Thanks for asking."
Seeing her weak smile, Logan felt his heart turning heavy.
With his fist clenched and determination flaring up in his eyes, he said, "If you need to talk to someone, then I am here, Professor."
Clara's smile now became strained and her eyes turned crescent as she nodded stiffly, "Of course."
What she didn't notice nor did Logan was the prying eyes of a certain old man, who had been hearing their conversation since the beginning.
*******
[In the Headmaster's office.]
The old man sighed and leaned back in his chair.
He has been tracking Clara since yesterday, from the moment she leaves her dorm to the point she returns home.
And from what he has seen, the only person who held strong emotions toward Clara was Logan.
Not only has he been enquiring about Clara's case with many other students but he has shown disgust at the mention of Ceaser as well.
'But if he had been there with Professor Clara in that dimension, then he wouldn't—hmm...' Suddenly, the headmaster had a thought.
The earlier conversation between Logan and Clara. Could it be, that they are pretending to be like that? Could it be that Logan purposely spoke like he didn't have any knowledge of the incident and only came to know through rumours? Because there was no one monitoring Logan in the infirmary when the incident occurred in the staff room, elevates the Headmaster's suspicion.
There are a lot of things that dictate Logan's involvement in this matter. And above all, his personal feelings for Clara were a strong factor to note.
'This needs a thorough perusal...'
The others were as shocked as Isabella. However, the President didn't ask the reason for her excitement, but rather, brought up what she originally intended to let her know, "From next week, your practical classes will begin, as such, I would advise you to decide your team members as soon as you can."
Not as the President but as a senior, Isabella suggested. The on-ground training of the students is a very crucial part of the tutelage in this Academy. And to participate in the raids, one must have the assistance of their teammates.
Alatia's excitement didn't subdue hearing that as she politely bowed and responded, "I will do as you suggest, President."
Seeing the girl being so polite and acting so adorable, made Isabelle smile and urged her to pinch Alatia's cheeks. But she restrained her desires and hummed in response.
Alatia didn't wait long in the council room before making her way out. And outside awaited the face that she could never get tired of gazing at.
"Good work." Kyle took her bag and greeted his lady. That soft smile on his face melted all her stress in an instant as with loose shoulders, she replied,
"It was a long day...I want nothing more than a hug now." Seeing her extending her hands, Kyle panicked before he reminded the girl,
"We are still in school and you still are a princess. Hold your horses, my lady."
Alatia's hands, which were extending for a hug, fell lifelessly as she gathered her lips in a pout and with a strong 'hmph' began to walk away.
Kyle low-key rejects her advances to see this childish side. But naturally, he wouldn't tell her that.
He also began to walk behind her as the duo left the main school building—heading towards their love nest a.k.a dorm.
Alatia didn't chat with Kyle en route since in the academy she has to pretend to be the same Alatia which everyone knows. Showing over-familiarity with Kyle would create rumours and those rumours would reach the Capital in no time.
Until 'that' happens, Alatia doesn't want her father to know about her relationship with Kyle. So for now, she has to keep herself in check.
While carrying her bag, Kyle silently walked behind her and thought about what he would prepare for lunch.
Just as they were turning towards their left and entering the dorm section, a certain person passed by them—and for some reason, Kyle found this scent quite familiar.
However, just as he turned his head to look at the person, they disappeared.
'Strange...'
*******
A/N:- Ig everyone knows who this person could be. More drama? Alatia turning a full yan? What drama awaits in the capital? A lot to know.
