"Chloe, you okay?"
Mary curiously asked, noticing Chloe's pale face had turned completely red.
"I-I'm fine. I'm going to head to the meditation place——"
Watching Chloe rushing out of the classroom, all three of her dormmates looked at each other before laughing out loud.
"What are you guys laughing at?" Mary asked, her face looking a little confused by their action.
"Nothing. Don't worry about it... Anyway, we're going to meditate as well. See you guys tomorrow."
"See ya!"

The rest of Monday quickly went by, and nothing much happened on Tuesday as Miss Amy continued rambling about basic algebra.
It was clear they were not getting out of the boring math class until the end of the month, as half of the class was still struggling with it.
However, the only interesting thing that happened was when Tuesday nighttime arrived.

"You miss me?"
Sarah asked as she carelessly stretched her arms into the air, allowing the side of her chest to be completely exposed.
"I'm thankful for your help."
Alex answered, ignoring her question as he had already gotten used to the way she acted.
"You're no fun, Alex... Anyway, let's stop training for today. You're going to need it tomorrow."
The announcement confused Alex a little, but he was more than happy to get a better night's sleep before tomorrow's PE class.
"Let's just have a little chat."
With a blink of an eye, the two were back to the familiar house, with the table and tea before them.
"What do you want to chat about?" Alex asked first, as he didn't really know what to say at this point.
She had either already answered everything he wanted to know or had been given a vague answer.
"How about your love relationship?"
"My love relationship? What about it?" Alex asked as he took a small sip of his tea.
"You aren't going to confess to any girls in your class? Chloe? Camille?"
Sarah's directness caught Alex a little off guard, but his face didn't flinch a single bit.
"You know my situation... I'm not sick enough to do that kind of stuff when neither of us are old enough."
Seeing her staring at him in silence, Alex remained firm and held up a poker face.
"Then how come your body seems to react the opposite——"
"You're reading my memories?" Alex interrupted, his face looking a little angry.
"What? Can a Grand Archmage like me not be allowed to read your memories?"
Alex fell into silence, knowing there was no way for him to argue back to her statement.
But he wasn't just going to let that happen every time, remaining silent as a protest against her invasion of privacy.
"Okay, I won't read your memories anymore... To be honest, I never even read your memories.
"Hey, Alex... Why are you up so late?" Katherine curiously asked as she walked closer and closer.
"I-I wasn't feeling well earlier. But I feel better now..."
As soon as Alex finished talking, Katherine's face suddenly turned into a warm smile as she gently patted his head.
"It's okay, Alex... Your body is only going through a lot of things. You don't have to be shy about it."
Hearing her tone, Alex couldn't help but feel she was clearly misunderstanding something.
"Mom... I'm just having my period. It's not whatever you're thinking of."
Katherine's face suddenly blushed, but she didn't react to it a single bit as she continued patting her head.
"Of course I know that. I had kept track of all three of your periods... Sophia's and Mary's period just came yesterday."
Despite the reassuring answer, Alex knew she had forgotten about it completely.
"I'm going back to sleep now. Good night, Mom."
"Good night——Wait, Alex. Let me give you mommy's goodnight kiss."
Alex wanted to say no, but she was much quicker than he could react as she kissed his forehead before running back to her room.
"What was that for...?"
Alex murmured as he headed back to his room, closing the door before going inside his bed.
As he leaned down and closed his eyes, his heart started to beat faster and faster.
His mind was filled with Katherine's warm smile directed only towards him, with her gentle hands patting his head.
"Stop it, Xiaoyun. You need to go to sleep before tomorrow's PE class."
After lying on the bed for a while, Alex's heart eventually calmed back down as he fell asleep on the bed.

"Am I at my inner soul again?" Alex wondered as his surroundings were back in the familiar house again.
But as he blinked, he was suddenly back in the house he was currently staying in with his family.
Feeling the lack of mana in the air, Alex quickly realized that the place he was in wasn't actually his home.
It was clear Sarah decided to pull a prank on him again, as there was only one place that he had gone to that was similar to this.
"Why did she bring me to Mom's dream again?" Alex wondered as he took one step forward.
As soon as the floor made a little noise, the door to Katherine's bedroom was instantly opened.
"Xiaoyun! I miss you so much!"
Katherine excitedly ran up and hugged Alex, despite the two just meeting each other a few minutes ago.
"I miss you too... Mom."
Alex hesitantly replied to her, as he felt a little bad to stay silent when she seemed to care about him so much.
"Let's go take a nap... You look so tired today."
As Katherine grabbed onto Alex's hand, memories of what happened last time flooded inside his mind.
"Mom... Can we talk for a bit?"
The question seemed to have caught Katherine off guard, but she nodded in agreement as the two sat down on the bed.
"What do you want to talk about?"
