Chapter 79 Going Back!

With both of them resting, the time has come. The exams were over, and it was time to return to our school. The headmaster wasn't there, but a teacher could be seen.

"Everyone! We will be leaving within twenty minutes. Get everything you need and be ready to return within that time." The teacher explained what was going to happen. Saying her piece, she left the room.

Students all over the room began to leave, and some stayed since they got what they needed. While the rest went to get some stuff that they wanted. Olivia and Jenny both stayed asleep during the teacher's speech.

It was pretty amazing how tired they were. Since I already had everything I needed, I did not need to go. I don't know if Olivia and Jenny had some things that they needed, but I would feel bad if I woke them up and they needed nothing.

Some students had returned after leaving. Time was ticking, and most of the students that had left returned.

I didn't know how many students were there, but I could sense that some students hadn't arrived. Most of them probably had unfortunate accidents during the exam, it was unfortunate, but that was what the exams had tested us on.

"Everyone! We will be leaving in five minutes! There is a teleportation circle drawn in this whole area. You would be sent back as long as you stay here!" I was worried about how we would be teleported.

Since the teacher had told us how we would leave, all my concerns about the teleport had been gone. Many of the first years also seemed relieved, knowing how we would leave.

Within a few minutes left, some students would arrive before we would leave, five minutes were up, and I could see a glowing light surrounding us. It was time for us to leave, I didn't have much attachment to a place like this, so I was glad I would return home.

Teleported back to our school, I held both Jenny and Olivia on my shoulders. My actions looked very conspicuous, but they couldn't be helped.

Hurrying back to my house, I powered walked all the way there. It wasn't far from where I lived. Seeing my house, I felt comfortable. Staying somewhere else other than my house for a week wasn't fun. I hope there wasn't an event that would make me leave for a while.

Going to the door, it took me a while to open it. I still had Olivia and Jenny to carry, and I was surprised that my power walk hadn't woken them.

Walking in, I immediately went to Olivia's room. They needed a proper resting place, so I gently put them on the bed.

Now all that had been finished, I went to my room and began to take a bath. While I could use my magic to burn everything dirty touching me, a bath was something that would help me relax.

Refreshing my mind, I dried my hair and went to my bed. I wasn't physically tired, but mentally. I needed to mentally recover because of how much had happened during this week. Thinking about this, I drifted into a deep sleep.

Waking up, Olivia was sleeping, hugging me. What time was it? I then began looking out the window. It seemed like the sun was beginning to rise. It was somewhere between 4 to 6 AM.

Since Olivia was here, where was Jenny? Did she go home? Or was she still sleeping in Olivia's bed? I didn't know, but I don't think I could move without waking her up.

Taking a peek at Olivia's face, she looked much better than she was during her arrival at the school examination site.

I didn't know how long I was staring at Olivia's face, but the sun was already up. When I looked away from her face, it was already somewhere in the morning.

It was soothing that Olivia was clinging to me. I felt oddly emotionally detached when I wasn't around her.

Thinking about these things, I could see Olivia's eyes twitching. She seemed like she was going to be awake. Her eyes then opened, and she stared at me.

"Goodmorning Olivia," I gave her a morning greeting seeing her awake. She didn't answer me but instead gave me a kiss on the lips and hugged me tightly.

"Is Jenny still here?" Asking that, I felt my shin being kicked. I didn't know why she did that, but it wasn't painful, to say the least.

"She left." I didn't know how she felt when she told me that.

I nodded, seeing that I shouldn't continue, "Then are you feeling better?" Changing our topic, I asked how she was feeling.

"Better." I didn't know what had happened to Olivia in the forest, but by the sounds of it, something terrible had happened.

Should I ask about her experience, or should I leave it? If it was terrible, I could make this worse. Moments like these are the worst.

"We should get up. We shouldn't stay in bed for the whole day," I told Olivia that we needed to get out of bed.

She shook her head, signaling that she didn't want to move. I guess that we're going to stay in bed then. I couldn't really blame her for that. Seeing only two of them return meant something had happened to her group members.

They were most likely killed during this monster hunt. I needed to do my best so she could feel better about it and move on.

It may be cold of me to say that those two deaths were good for Olivia. In the future, events where Olivia's partners may die again, but this could be used to drive her to become stronger and grow as a human being.

"Olivia, since you're not going to move, use this chance to train. We might have a test like this again, which could be more dangerous.

I could feel fear in her eyes. But in the end, all she could do was close her eyes and begin training her mana.
