Chapter 213: Eyewitnes then Stalkers
Hearing that, not only Elena felt a sudden panic, but Elysia as well. Even though Elysia didn’t feel the loss because of that platinum card, it still caused a shock when it was suddenly brought up by someone. Apparently, an eyewitness was present during the incident.
Elena considered her decision right then and there. That opportunity could be used to get Serena in big trouble, but Elena had other plans for the rude girl. It was decided after asking her sweet little sister’s blessing, of course.
She glanced at the smart girl with glasses named Nova, then checked if anyone was eavesdropping on Nova’s whisper. Realizing that no one else heard or glanced at her, she nodded weakly at Nova. She also put on a pitiful expression like a bullied girl.
“Oh, for the love of Goddess… It turns out to be you, Elysia. Why did you hand over your privilege card to those bad girls? The academy will protect you, you know?” Nova covered her mouth in a little surprise then whispered again.
“That’s fine, Senior Nova. The fact that you saw it and just watched it without helping me already let me know where you stood. Maybe, if you are an ordinary girl who doesn’t know much and feels threatened by aristocratic girls, then you will know what happened better.” Elena whispered carefully in using her intonation and pronunciation. She wanted to dramatize the situation.
“A, uh… Sorry. I’m sorry for just ignoring what happened that day. I’m a coward…” Nova looked down a little. She felt guilty for some reason at being said that.
“Very well, I don’t know why you are asking me this at this time. Maybe because you feel guilty for not having the courage to help the helpless girl that day?” Elena started sowing scenario seeds onto the stage.
“…” Nova could not answer because it was guessed correctly.
“Alright, that’s fine. However, I will not remain silent about the treatment that day. They will get retribution soon. Please don’t spoil my plans. But, if you want, you can be an eye witness to it when the time comes. You are an innocent person who happens to be there from a distance. That sounds good. Thanks for your concern.” Elena gave a weak smile, but she was grinning like a sly girl in her mind.
“I will. Umm… Wouldn’t it be better if you reported this as soon as possible? You are also close to Princess Evelyn. I’m sure she will help you.” Nova nodded in understanding, but she didn’t understand a few things.
“I’m not going to do that right away. It will come at the right time. That girl needs to learn a valuable lesson that she will never forget in her lifetime. At that time, you will know about it, hehe…” Elena covered her mouth with her hand, worried that she was grinning involuntarily.
“Ah, un… I understand. I’ll be there as a witness to defend you, but I won’t be alone. Is that all right?” Nova nodded as if she understood more than what was said.
Broadly speaking, she saw Elysia as a scheming girl who would pay back all evil deeds and abuse. However, it wasn’t light things because it came with a plan…
Even so, Nova could only look at Elysia with favorable impressions for several reasons.
“That’s okay. I’ll look forward to seeing you on that day. Thank you.” After saying that, Elena got up from her chair to approach Evelyn, who had just returned.
Nova looked at the platinum grade talent girl’s back with some thoughts, then she sighed.
“Eve, how about it?” Elena welcomes the cheerful girl.
“The instructors have given their permission, yay! We can take our creations home.” Evelyn announced it in a slightly loud voice so that the other students could hear it too.
Hearing that, the other students immediately secured their respective products with enthusiasm. After all, it was their first creation in the world of craftsmanship and alchemy.
“Wow, that’s good news for all of us. Then, this and this is mine now.” Elena smiled as she kept the two products she made today, namely a simple bulb and a simple stove.
Simultaneously, Joanna and three other girls also took their products from the table and put the items in their Space Bag.
As for Evelyn, it was clear what she was doing. She asked permission because that was her primary intention.
‘Ely, swap back with me. I’m done, see? Everything is going well. Umm, there’s a slight loss.’ Elena requested it with a regret that was still there.
‘En, you are wonderful, Sister Elena. No, please don’t be sad about the broken Luveeda. We can get that again, or a magic device that is better than that. Relax and smile~’ Elysia comforted the girl who still wanted to apologize.
‘Un.’ After saying that, Elena immediately swapped back with Elysia.
Elysia blinked a few times, then left the lab with her study group and parted ways afterward. Senior group and junior group with their own goals.
“Nee, Ely. Where are we going today? Today we don’t have class any more, right?” Evelyn asked as they walked down the corridor.
“Hmm… How about practicing sword and magic in the training ground? I remember there was a girl who asked me to train together because she felt like a lazy girl.” Elysia put her finger on her chin before answering. Sher gave a teasing smile to the girl who asked.
“Mou, it’s me. Do you guys also want to come with us for group training?” Evelyn pouted cutely for a moment, then she invited her four friends.
“My pleasure, Miss Evelyn.”
“Wow, group practice. That’s a good thing. Count me in.”
“Yes, I’m in.”
“I’ll be stupid if I refuse. Let’s go to the 1st training ground building!”
Joanna, Betty, Lana, and Maggie immediately responded positively. They wholeheartedly accepted the offer.
“Let’s go!” Evelyn raised her hand excitedly.
“Eits, wait a moment.” Elysia grabbed Evelyn’s hand so they wouldn’t rush over there.
Sure enough, when Evelyn stopped and turned her head, the other four girls did the same.
“What’s the matter, Ely?” Evelyn had a clueless expression.
Elysia took the white cat near her feet first and picked up Vanessa. Then, she conveyed her reason. “Before going to practice, we need to have lunch first, right? Shall we stop by the canteen first?”
“Oh my, I almost forgot. Our body can quickly run out of energy if we train without lunch. Yes, we need to eat lunch first before our training activities.” Evelyn nodded in understanding.
After all the girls agreed, they headed straight to the academy canteen. They came to buy some dishes, then ate them to replenish the energy they would need for practice.
After that, they left without exchanging pleasantries at the cafeteria table like the other students. Their arrival at the cafeteria was not to linger there.
Neither Elysia nor Evelyn was aware that some male students were intending to approach them. It was unlucky for the spirited boys… The girls came and went without giving them any chance.
Their training hours seemed short regardless of how long they had spent on the training ground. They practiced their basic swordsmanship and magic until evening greeted them. At that moment, the blue sky had turned into a reddish-orange sky.
“Exquisite practice of sword and magic.” Suddenly a voice greeted the Elysia and Evelyn training group. A girl walked over with her group.
“Stu-student council president?” Joanna was the first to stand among her dorm mates. She was somewhat surprised by the girl who suddenly came to say hello.
“Hello, you guys are training hard. That is a good determination.” Rosie gave a light nod with a smile.
“Good evening, President Rosie. Is this another coincidence?” Elysia greeted with a slightly stiff smile.
“Oh, haha… Of course not, Ely. Today we came on purpose. It’s no longer a coincidence. Well, it’s kind of obsolete if it’s repeated.” Rosie wagged her hand with pleasantries, but her final sentence was spoken subtly.
“Hmm? On purpose? Yes, then please continue with your noble duties. We junior girls need to go home immediately.” Elysia glanced at the clock for a moment, then nodded lightly. She even walked ahead to leave as if running away.
“Wait, nee, why are you talking as if we don’t know each other? Did something happen to you, or is there something I did wrong?” Rosie frowned briefly and probed it nervously. She didn’t know what had happened, but she didn’t like Elysia treating her like that.
“But, we are little girls, and little girls have to go home when the sky slowly turns dark. Are you going to hold that little girl until the sky goes dark? It would be a pity if something happened to her.” Elysia stopped in her tracks and offered a little ridiculous excuse.
“What? Hahaha… I thought about what happened. It was just my imagination. If you need to go home soon, then so do we. Besides, I’m already satisfied watching you guys train from afar.” Rosie laughed out loud with relief. She guessed that wrong.
“Uhm? You three didn’t come for the thing in this training ground?” Evelyn looked at the three seniors with a confused look. She had a hunch they came only for Elysia.
“Are you a stalker, President Rosie?” Elysia just threw the accusations down.
“Wait, wait, what? Stalker? That’s a nickname that doesn’t sound pleasant to hear. I, Bianca, and Fran just watched from afar openly. Well, we’ve been sitting on that bench for a while. So, we’re just spectators, aren’t we?” Rosie asked for help from her reinforcements.
“Ye, yes… That’s right.”
“Hum.”
Bianca and Fran defended Rosie with their confession.
