Chapter 218 218 - New Quarters (1)
“Yeah, I really didn’t, was it that impressive?” questioned Aiden as he looked around seeing everyone nod.
‘Well, I guess I have good vision, who wouldn’t try going for that red sphere, at least hide it better,’ thought Aiden, as he didn’t understand why everyone was overreacting in such a way.
“But did it really take me two minutes?” asked Aiden as he remembered spending quite a lot of time inside there.
He felt as if he had spent literally hours inside that space, so he didn’t understand how there was such a big difference between what he felt and reality. Sure, he was in an illusion, but was it really all because of that?
“Yes, it did,” responded Melinda right away.
“What you’re thinking right now is probably about how you thought that you had spent a lot more time inside that illusion, right?” said Melinda, reading Aiden’s mind, without any difficulty.
Aiden only nodded upon hearing that as it seemed that his feeling was quite common if Melinda had been able to guess it.
“Well, that’s normal, the ratio between how the time goes by in an illusion and in the real world is quite different. That’s why you had that feeling.”
Aiden once again moved his head up and down showing that he had understood what she had just said.
“Then, what does one hour equal one minute?”
“Well, that depends on the strength of the illusion and many other things, so sometimes that might be the case and sometimes it might not be,” continued explaining Melinda while everyone made sure to remember every single one of those words.
“But, yeah enough about that, both of your performances were really impressive,” said Melinda, in an attempt to conclude the discussion.
However, the two girls who were holding Aiden’s hands did not agree with that statement at all.
“Both impressive, hmph, he was much better,” said Emma as she hugged his arm shyly.
It was rare that Olivia and Emma agreed on something, but when it was regarding Aiden they were most of the time in agreement and this was one of those times.
That’s why she instantly nodded when she heard this.
‘What is the deal with those two, always complimenting me and holding my hands?’ thought Aiden, as he didn’t understand why both of their actions had changed so drastically over literally a few days.
It didn’t make any sense in Aiden’s mind, that the shy Emma was now a lot more confident when talking with the others.
“Well, I will announce one thing here, you two won’t be in the same room as A- the Reaper,” said Melinda almost letting Aiden’s name slip out of her name since she was kind of used to using it.
The two of them, then went on to complain that it wasn’t fair and that they had done nothing wrong at all, however, Melinda seemed quite serious on that matter.
“In fact, my new student here will be living with him as I think that it will help her in the long run,” said Melinda, clearly indicating that her new student was Isolde.

“Both of you will be living in here,” said Melinda talking to both Emma and Olivia and throwing them into one of the rooms which had a rainbow exterior.
The room in which both Emma and Olivia would be living seemed to be about the same size as back in the Everheart Family Manor.
But, it seemed that rooms of that size were common as this whole wall was filled with quarters as big as that one and in the Everheart Manor there had been two of them.
Nonetheless, a founding family shouldn’t be compared with a middle-level family since they were nowhere near the same level of resources.
“You’ll come to see us, right?” asked Emma as the rainbow door closed in front of her face.
*BAM*
“Are they usually that annoying?” asked Melinda, as she seemed extremely exhausted.
However, this time Aiden shook his head as he also didn’t understand that change in both of their personality, especially for Emma. He didn’t have a good idea of Olivia’s personality but it still wasn’t like this during the Inter Family Tournament.
“No, I don’t know what’s happening to them?”
The maid who was still accompanying them seemed to have a pretty good idea as she murmured something in a really quiet tone that no one heard.
“It’s your fault that they’re acting this way.”
“What did you say, Cheryl?” asked Melinda, hearing a faint noise from behind her.
“Nothing, don’t worry about it.”
Hearing that, Melinda turned her head not worrying about it at all.
Then, the quatuor continued walking in that rainbow corridor as they suddenly took a sharp turn to the left into a completely new corridor which had fewer colours than before.
It seemed that the theme of blinding colours hadn’t reached this place yet, as Aiden was finally able to glance at the colour black on one of these walls.
‘This is incredible!’ thought Aiden to himself as he hadn’t seen that colour ever since coming here.
Then, Melinda who hadn’t stopped walking in a long time suddenly stopped all movement as she rotated her body toward the right facing a completely black door.𝓝𝑶𝒱𝞮𝓁𝒏𝑬xt.𝔠𝔬𝕞
“This will be your room, I know it’s quite the sad colour we will make sure to fix that soon, no worries,” said Melinda as she showed with her hands the exterior of that room.
‘No, no, no, don’t fix it. Please don’t fix the colour,’ thought Aiden, as he dismissed that thought and observed the sheer size of that room.
Aiden looking at that exterior was quite impressed by the size of that room, it seemed to be at least twice as big as the room that both Emma and Olivia had entered.
“Come in, what are you two idling for?” said Melinda as she opened the black door to the two of them, revealing the interior of Aiden’s new quarters.
