"Am I familiar you ask?" Sera had a goofy smile on her face which she quickly hid. Discover tales on m_vl_em_p_yr
"Of course I am! She is our groups leader!" The man stared at her, then continued.
"Okay then. We reached the second part of this interview. Tell me about what happened since the Fall of Copen."
Hearing that Sera started to panic a little. It was one thing for them to know her title, but to learn she wasn't from Copen. That would be certainly devastating, which meant she had to do the thing she hated most, lie.
"Uh... I became an Evolved, when Copen fell... Bea was already one... and with the help of some other people a large group survived... about 20 thousand."
'Shit, what happened next?'
Suddenly a sound came from in her arms, Vicky spoke.
"We went on a long journey and eventually arrived in an abandoned city named Havel. We survived there for a few months, then made our way here. About 150 of us made it."
Sera was stunned, yeah she technically was there through the whole way, but she wasn't prepared for her to answer in Sera's place. A small smile crept onto her face and she kissed the top of her head.
'I will have treat her with something. What is her favorite food, I don't even know... wait, what is my favorite food? I don't remember!'
The man was typing away, then he looked at the two of them with discontent.
"You say Queen of Nature is your leader? Then explain to me why multiple of your people say otherwise, Angel Monarch or should I call you Queen Seraphine?"
'FUCK! I forget about those idiots! They think this is a way to honor me! Dammit!'
A weary sigh escaped Sera's lips, there was no point hiding it anymore then. She looked up at the man, who was patiently waiting. She took a deep breath and began her story.
"First things first... I'm not from Copen... I'm the last survivor of Newber." The mans typing froze. He was surprised, but not like the other times. He knew that a 4th Class Gate destroyed Newber, just surviving that as a regular is impressive and achieved by literally by no one other than her.
But Sera didn't wait for him, she continued and as she said more the man become more frightened. When she reached Havel and began talking about the fight on the roof the man finally spoke.
"I think this is enough. Please go to the University to began your studies. Transport has been already arranged." The man spoke like a robot and he couldn't even look at her. Sera only noticed it now, but the man was trembling and was so white he might be dead.
"O...okay...uh... sir, are you alright?" The man still didn't look at her and just said.
"I am fine, thanks."
'Yeah, that was very convincing!' But looking at the man she didn't linger, instead holding onto Vicky she left the room.
On the outside the others were already waiting for her. Bea looked at her embarrassed.
"This is the so called Evolved University?" Asked Bea with awe in her voice.
"It's huge!" Said Vicky, she looked very excited, not even a hint of fear remained in her.
They went through the massive gate and into a huge courtyard with an exquisite fountain in the middle. The car went around it and stopped in front of its main entrance. There were a couple people in the door waiting.
Sera and the others looked at each other, then taking a deep breath they got out of the car. One of the people an older man stood in the front of the group of people.
"Good day to all of you! I'm the Director of this humble school, behind me are a couple of our teachers and helpers. I welcome all of you and hope you will learn many great things, that you can utilize for furthering of humankind."
He took a deep breath before continuing.
"We already got your files and made the necessary preparations for your stay to be as comfortable as possible. My daughter Helen will lead you on a tour of the school grounds."
The Director thought for a couple of seconds.
"I think that's about it. You can access most information about the University on your Watch, but if you prefer real life conversation. Just ask one of the teachers or any student with a badge like Helen has."
With that he stayed silent and a kind of average looking but cute young girl came out from behind him. The girls smile immediately brightened seeing Vicky.
'There must be very few little girls in a university. Maybe they can play together, it would do good for Vicky to have friends of her age.'
"Hi everyone, I'm Helen! Please follow me and I will show you around!" Her voice was happy and light, like she didn't have a care in the world.
They began the tour of the campus, but unknown to all of them something else happened in the city.
...
-In the castle grounds, in a large room-
A man was walking with hurried steps, he reached his chair and sat down. The room had a large table in the middle with about a dozen people sitting all around it. There was silence in the room, until the younger woman sitting next to the man who just arrived spoke.
"All of you know why we gathered here correct?" Her voice was emotionless, but there was a smile on her face. The smile was confusing, it gave her face a touch of happiness, but her voice was the opposite. The people around the table nodded and she continued.
"So what do we do about them? They are only Evolved now and fairly knew as well. We can either kill them or convince them." Silence spread around the room until the man who arrived late spoke. His voice was strong unlike his face which had a feminine touch to it.
"I think we should find a way to integrate them. The person named Angel Monarch especially. You read her accomplishments, they are unlike anyone's. The others are similarly amazing. Killing them would be a mistake."
Prince Otto looked around the people with a small smirk on his face, the other people were convinced by him pretty easily. Only her sister saw trough him, but she was on his side.
'Easier than I thought.'
