Book 1: Chapter 108: To A New Life

Scarlet

Turned out that hed already called for Belle as well, so when I reach the gate, theyre both there. Then we quickly make our way back to the base where we spend over an hour going over documentation and paperwork.

Eventually we finish it all before he sends us away to go sign up for our classes.

I decide to go to the cafeteria to eat one last time here before I fully move into my new suite, and it looks like the others had the same idea.

Scarlet, Belle, Michael says with a smile as I walk over to their table with Belle after ordering food. Nice of you two to come join us!

Kind of surprising that everyone from our team is here.

I sit down next to Emily with Belle sitting on the other side of me before asking, Did we all just decide to eat here instead of on campus today?The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

Well, actually, I sent out an email to them to invite them, he says, sounding slightly sheepish, but I didnt have either of your contacts, so I couldnt get in touch with you. Not without contacting Sage to ask, and I wasnt going to do that.

Oh. Right.

I open my terminal before sharing with the three my contact ID, and Belle quickly does the same. We all then simply chat as we wait for our food to arrive. And once it does, I immediately start digging into it.

So how do you think campus life will go? Michael asks, and Belle is the one to answer him as she says, It should be fine. How different can it be from a regular university?

Even without lifting my head from my food, I can tell the others are giving her a strange look just from the silence that ensues before Denise says, Theres a lot different between the two. Specifically the classes you take.

I raise my head at this before Michael takes up the explaining from her, There are quite a few classes you can take, and all of the required courses not all of the electives, mind you involve your status as a Guardian. Whether theyre magic classes, classes over the System, classes over Guardian laws, how society treats Guardians compared to normal people, combat classes, demonology, and so on.

Huh. Thats interesting.

Itll certainly help you become less reckless if you know more about what youre doing, Tar says with a huff in my head.

I ignore him to continue eating.

So why exactly did you order wine? Denise asks, sounding vaguely amused.

Michael just stands up and grabs his glass with a chuckle before saying, To have a group toast with my team!

I share a glance with Emily and Denise, then Belle, only to shrug and stand up as well, along with the others.

Honestly, Ive always avoided medication and anything that can mentally inhibit me. Not to mention that the legal drinking age is twenty, and Im not that old yet, so I wasnt legally allowed to drink.

But as a Guardian, there is no legal drinking age. Meaning all Guardians are allowed to drink.

Mostly since the poison in the alcohol doesnt affect us as much. And at the higher levels, at all.

This is a special moment though, and since it wont really affect me much, I might as well.

Besides. Its just a single shot.

I grab the drink along with the others before raising it up.

To our team, and our time at Lions Heart, Michael says. And to an amazing semester!

To an amazing semester! we all repeat before clinking our glasses and taking a drink.

This year is bound to be the most interesting year of my life, thats for sure.

Right Tar?

Right, Scar, Tar says, calling me by a nickname or something.

Scar, huh? Alright.

Lets see just how tough these Guardian University classes really are then.
