Chapter 184 Arcadia Academy#11 Adara Harriet

She was beautiful and breathtaking. If I were to remove Lucia from my past, then the only other girl that I really liked was her. My master, Adara Harriet.

She had a system related to shadow where she could erase her or other shadow at will…

Yup, that's all she had when I met her. Yet I could not defeat her without even using everything in my arsenal.

It was her skills. She was a weapon master who had mastered all the weapons to its limit. She could kill you with a toothpick even if you used dual swords against her, though the only limit she had was exactly this. That's all she had going till the very end, where she fought and killed a SSS-Grade monster, herself dying in the process.

Within the Arcadia Academy, she was one of the orthodox ones who, purely on her skills, entered into the Academy, later becoming one of the pillars of the Student council. After the previous student council president retired, she was elected as the next president and that was during her 3rd year, that is 2 years ago from now on.

I met her at the very end of this year when she had left the Student council, and we actually were enemies when we fought for the first time. However, not killing me, she started talking about me and my life.

For some reason, I opened up to her quite a bit before she, out of nowhere, proposed to teach me her mastery in various skills. She said that these skills were like a legacy to her, but because everyone was limited by systems, nobody could really inherit it. Luckily, I was someone who wasn't bound by the system, so I became the perfect candidate to inherit her legacy.

'Though, I never noticed the reason why she taught me her skills,' I thought as I kept moving towards her. Back in the previous timeline, I was really devastated to hear that she had died. She was one of those people who I had always looked forward to meeting.

'Didn't know fate would twist things and I would really get my chance to meet her again,' I thought as a joyous smile formed on my face and I dashed even faster to the location where she was.

…

About an hour later…

In a lavish office near the window, a young girl of about 19 years old was reading a book as she looked at the moon that was slowly rising up. Her red eyes traced the night city in front of her, where the student body was focusing on their training and other mundane tasks. She brushed her brown hair with her silky white hands, as she sighed a little before she muttered,

"Another tiring day…" as she turned away from the window.

Then a sudden cooling sensation felt her body, and she regained her strength and energy before she realised that someone was standing behind her in the same window from where she was observing the scenery.

Turning around, she found a white-haired kid of no more than 16 looking at her as if he were looking at his long-lost lover. Though she didn't sense any ill intent coming from him, so she didn't proceed to attack and first asked,

"Who are you?"

Her eyes were narrowed, and she was looking around to find a weapon which she could use.

"The name is Aidan Williamson, one of the Unorthodox ones that was admitted today," Zero spoke with the same smile which he had as soon as he saw Adara.

"Your ability to sneak in here doesn't seem so Unorthodox to me," she spoke as she gained her composure, finally reaching the knife on the wall and grabbing it in her hands. Now that she had a weapon, she was finally relaxed.

"Well, I have my reasons not to show my power," Zero spoke with a kind smile and she put her index finger on her chin before speaking,"let me guess. So that others won't be harming you or perhaps harassing you? You must have something really special to make you hide your powers and still come to this Academy."

Zero chuckled a little,"a little bit wrong there. I am not hiding my powers because I fear being harassed by others," and then he vanished before reaching behind Adara and grabbing her weapon, swiftly twisting it out of her grip and then speaking,"it's because I don't want them to annoy me enough to wipe them out of the surface of Vermillion."

Adara proceeded to kick Zero, but he vanished again before coming back to his previous location and passing the knife back to her. She catches the knife before narrowing her eyes and speaking,"and may I know why someone strong as you is telling me all this?"

Zero chuckles a little before getting closer to her, one step at a time, before reaching extremely closer to her with their eyes about 2 inches away from there. Adara was holding her knife at Zero's neck and Zero just smiled before speaking,"because I have fallen for you."

For a brief moment, Adara just stood there and then Zero kissed her on the lips. It was a light kiss, without any force, and before Adara could realise what had just happened, he vanished and reached back to the window.

"Look forward to seeing you again, love," he spoke before standing on the window and then pondering a little before speaking,"change the last digit of your number to 2 from 1 and you will get my number. Call me if you need anything and I will be there for you. Good night for now."

Adara looked like she wanted to ask a lot of questions, but because of the events that happened all at once, she was confused how to approach it. In the end, she decided to look into this year's batch of Unorthodox ones.

Look into who this is, Aidan Williamson.
