Chapter 22: Chapter 18: The Unexpected Visitors (2)
"Greetings… Your visitor Reena Acias Falna, has arrived just now along with her beloved big brother."
Suddenly, an adorable little voice with an air of very deep respect can be heard out of nowhere.
Finding the source of the voice, everyone saw a small little girl raising each side of the skirt of her dress, bowing gracefully in the small podium in front of the classroom. She's like a cute doll with her white smooth skin and silver hair.
Alongside her are Regis, their classmate who suddenly left earlier without saying anything, and a cute silver cat with golden eyes standing in Regis' left shoulder.
The moment Regis appeared inside the room, his eyes automatically found its way to Arias. Although a bit pale, she faring quite well under the pressure.
Learning the little girl is Regis' younger sibling, Arias quickly understood what's happening since Regis already told her about this little sister of his during their first date.
"Hmm… You came early, Reena. It's good to see you back."
"Oh!~, it's big brother Bert! Greetings~ Reena never thought you're also here~ You didn't even remember to visit me once in the last few years. Hmmp! Little Reena will punish you later!"
Though it may not seem like that, Reena and Robert are really quite close; after all, they always meet when Regis visits Manaria in the past.
"Haha… Please refrain to talk like that in front of my students, Reena. They might think that I'm just a pushover professor… Anyway, can you disperse this whole magical pressure? The students are having a hard time just breathing some air."
"Tehehe~ Okay~"
The moment Reena dispersed the magical pressure; some of the students are finally able to breathe a sigh of relief but most of them are drenched in cold sweat. Brent Galius gritted his teeth and clenched his hands as he tries to fight back the pressure weighing down on him.
'This Regis again...!'
'How can they suddenly appear like that...'
'What in the world is this little girl?'
'How can a child like her got a magical pressure like that?'
'I think I heard that name before... Reena Acias Falna...'
'Could she be that 'Acias'?'
Everyone present inside the room aside from Regis, Arias and their professor Robert, shows a hint of anxiety in their face towards the little girl who called herself Reena as Regis' little sister. Thankfully, Robert immediately guessed what really happened which enable him to clear out the tension.
"Calm down everyone. First, let me introduce you this little girl, Reena Acias Falna. She like a real sibling to me, unlike her brother. She just came here to visit without us knowing so she's a little upset that no one came to welcome her." said Robert with a teasing smile, bringing a frown on Regis' face.
Reena Acias Falna, the genius child who almost turn the world of magic upside down because of her innate talent and the vast amount of mana she has. While being only in her six years of age, she's someone who's really worth being called the genius child who only appears once in a thousand years.
"But to think that she is that Regis' little sister..." A classmate muttered in a surprised tone but very low in volume which still didn't escape Reena's sensitive cute little ears.
"Hm? Big sister, did I heard it correctly? You called my beloved big brother by 'that Regis'?"
"—Eh? Is there something wrong?" asked the girl in confusion.
Reena turned her gaze to that student who is sitting in front of Arias right and queried the girl student which also made Arias wonder.
'Huh? What wrong with that?'
"What? You're asking me what wrong with that? For you—No, for all of you to call my beloved big brother something isn't fitting to his stature isn't something Reena can allow!" shouted Reena with a sharp hint of danger in her voice as she glowers at the student who spoke just now.
"I don't get it… Why are you saying that? He's just a fellow classmate."
"What is she talking about?"
"He's 'just' Regis who happen to match the professor in the battle practice earlier."
"He can only use his speed and a little bit of his magic. Nothing too special."
"Above the norms but there isn't anything special about that 'guy'…"
"W-what? You're asking me what wrong with that? Unbelievable! To think that all of you are ignorant fools…
Reena is greatly shaken just by hearing the comments from the students present in the room. Robert can only sigh and remain standing alongside Regis who wore an expressionless look on his face.
"My big brother is nothing special?... Only happen to match the professor? Do all of you know what you're talking about?! Does every one of you have a death wish?!"
Unable to contain her emotions, Reena's words almost become a scream which is also accompanied by the raging outpour of magic.
Seeing this, Regis picks Reena up and hugged her close to his chest. The outpour of magic instantly recede.
"Reena, it's okay. I'm currently a student here and it doesn't really matter."
"But Brother! Reena will never let anyone say something about you like 'that guy' and saying 'just' when talking about you!"
"Don't make me say it once more Reena. I know that you're only getting angry for my sake but you don't need to make a fuss about it."
"But… Hic.. Hic.. Uuwwuu… Brother~~… "
Being scolded by her brother, Reena who still can't accept it, can't help but cry and bury her face to Regis' uniform.
In front of the whole class, Reena, a six year's old little girl, was crying which make it seem like they are bullying her. Even the "the genius child who only appears once in a thousand years" is not that accustomed to this kind of thing.
Though Reena is crying with some snot coming from her cute little nose, her crying face still looks so adorable that you will end up sympathizing with her.
Now, the students who said something earlier are now wearing conflicted expression.
"Uwuu.. Hic hic… *Sniff* Brother…"
"It's okay now Reena... Though I don't really care about this at first, after seeing you cry I think I'll give a little punishment to everyone in this classroom on the next few days."
It may not really like it but Regis is always a doting big brother to his little sister, so much that even something so trivial like this won't end peacefully.
After stating those words which flowed clearly in the ears of everyone, Regis glared at his classmates while still hugging Reena.
Almost the same as the expression of his face, Regis' cold and cruel magical pressure flashed down on everyone making all possible means of opposition to stop. Albeit short, it was enough for everyone inside the room to feel it and understand what it means. Everyone's expression darkens as they feel something bad will happen soon.
"Just who on earth are you, Regis?"
Unable to comprehend what's in front of her, Elizabeth can't help but mutter this question while looking to her adversary and her best friend's companion.
"Someone who's not supposed to be here..."
"Not to be here?... What are you talking about?"
Elizabeth widened her eyes as she asked in confusion but there's no answer came in return.
Regis and Reena who's still sobbing in his arms started to walk towards the exit. Stopping for a bit, he unexpectedly turned his gaze to Arias and said,
"Come with us, Arias. There's something we need to talk."
Without asking anything, Arias quickly grabbed her bag. She quickly followed Regis outside and left the room, leaving the other students looking at the direction from where they left with a complicated expression. Timing, the ringing of the bell resounded signifying the end of the class.
"It appears that everyone here is in for a good time for the next days." said the smiling professor, earning a dark look from his students.
'So you're still here?'
'If you only said something to diffuse the situation earlier!'
