Book 1: Chapter 105.2: A Shock Part II

Scarlet

White? The White? The Knight with null magic that has supposedly never lost a fight before, and almost never appears in public?

How on Earth did your father manage to get her permission to start an Association of his own?! How did you manage that?! Both Carol and Michael practically shout at the same time, Michael apparently not having heard anything about it either.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

Belle just shrugs and says, No idea. I just know that he apparently struck a deal with her. Then the next thing I know, he started the Association and went on a business trip and eventually came back to bring me to an orphanage he had created in a Tier 3 city.

I blink in surprise, not having known that the Association was started at the same time as the orphanage.

It also seems to confuse the others, but fortunately I dont see any discrimination on their faces against orphans. Because that wouldve made things awkward beyond belief.

Although Im pretty sure Michael, Denise, and Emily already know.

Nick seems to be ignoring the conversation after his initial surprise, and Alex is just as quiet as ever, kind of just spectating things like Emily and Denise are.

Actually, on that note, why is Denise being so quiet? In fact, she looks a little numbed for some reason. Like shes just going through the motions.

I walk up to her before poking her shoulder, seemingly snapping her out of it before quietly asking, Whats wrong?

She glances at me and seems to grow excited at my talking to her, noticeably twitching with the desire to hug me or something which has me stepping back. But she holds it and answers, Im fine. Theres just someone going here that I really dont want to run into.

Oh. Okay.

I nod my head to her and pat her shoulder once in what Im hoping looks like support before focusing on the others again as Carol asks Belle, Does your father have any connections to White? I thought she was the most illusive member of the Knights purely because her null magic lets her nullify other peoples sight, information, and memory of her.

Not that I know of, Belle answers, and we all begin to head towards Carols suite again, albeit at a slower pace now. Ive personally never met her though, so

Isnt this a little too grand?

She opens the door, revealing a large entryway on the other side both spacious and luxurious as she says, Every Top class student has their own suite of about a couple dozen rooms in one of the mansions, and they can invite anyone over that theyd like. The girl starts walking into the suite. Each mansion has its own cafeteria that the students living in the mansion can go to should they not wish to go to the other Top class student cafeteria outside of the walled off portion of the campus for us, and there are also common areas, along with a garden, and entertainment section. We also have one large plaza where the Top class students from all mansions can congregate. But make sure you stay away from the faculty mansions, as there are some professors who dont like students getting anywhere near their home.

Thats I mutter before hearing Belle finish, A lot, bringing my attention to her just to find the girl giving me a look that says, you better invite me over on a regular basis.

I raise a brow at that, only to ignore her and focus on the room around us.

Shes already rich. I dont care that she doesnt technically live in a place as luxurious as this. Shes still rich.

Although I guess Ill probably end up being rich too, since any and all Guardians who dont kick the bucket end up being rich.

Even the ones in Tier 3 cities. Although whats considered rich down there isnt rich in a Tier 1 city. Or a Tier 2 city for that matter.

Anyways, the entry room to her suite has a freaking fountain in the center of it. A fountain.

Thats really all that matters in showing how extravagant the place is.

Is the color scheme on purpose? I hear Denise ask, finally speaking up without being spoken to during this little tour. And Carol nods her head to her after turning around and sitting at the edge of the large fountain which has a statue of a sword in the center stabbed into the ground, Yeah. All of the suites are automatically adjusted to their owners by a member of the faculty adjusting the mansions magi-tech core.

Oh. Wait, doesnt that mean my suite will be all red and black?

Cool!

I cant help but smile at the thought of seeing my own suite here. One that should be even better than the one I have at the base.

Yeah, Ill absolutely be living on campus now.

I could definitely get used to living in luxury.
