Chương 2: Ch.2
Seth would kill himself if he could. How could he forget that? Emi was a weak level and having a Golem would be a big help for her. Every female student who attended Lucas Academy had one. It would be great if she had a Makaizer, but because how rare they are now and the bonding requirements for them that be a blessing from the gods if Emi was that lucky.
"Oh damn it! I'm so sorry, I completely forgot. I was so excited you got accepted I completely forgot you need at least a Golem to help with your training there. CRAP!!!"
Emi felt bad. Seth went above and beyond for her the same way Ramírez would send her textbooks to read and a few coins to help her out, even if he didn't know Emi's boss stole most of the money.
Emi wanted to go bad. She needed to escape her boss and live her dream of being the Royal Artisan. She couldn't be the shy and meek girl forever. If she wanted to get out of the abusive situation she was in she had to go.
"I'll, I'll do it, Seth. I'll go to the academy."
"Huh?"
"I'll go. I can't rely on you and Ramírez forever. And I want to make my own Golem someday and I can do that there long as I get the requirements from the Academy's finance board and grades. I'll go and I'll make you proud."
Seth covered his eyes, he was moved by her innocence and honesty. He snapped himself back to reality to help her get started on her transition to the school. The first thing was a real shower, cutting her ratty long hair, and getting decent clothes to wear outside the uniform.
"Um, Seth I have a question. How did you register me for the school? When my parents died and I was orphaned my boss bought me for my services. I'm basically his slave and he has legal ownership of me."
That was true. She didn't know how he got around that. Even if he lied to the registration they would have found out and have penalized him for it.
Seth gave off a wicked smile and laughed like a villain. The only time Emi had seen him do that was when a noble cheated him out of pay for a rank A sword he worked on for two months. He added a self-destruction feature into it as payback for the deceit. He always did that to nobles he despised more than anything.
"Oh let's say I've been planning this for a long time. True I used most of my money for the registration fee and boarding, but I also had some plans in place for the other matters." Emi was confused but intrigued as well.
"I went to the courthouse and used some platinum coins I saved for my retirement to adopt you and erase the contract your boss had on you. Also, I filed an investigation report on him and his 'habits', turns out that pot-bellied warthog had been involved in some ill-moral manners using your earnings so he'll finally get the pigpen to match him now hehe."
Emi was bewildered, Seth went that far for her. He knew her when she was six years old right after she was orphaned and taken in. She was sixteen now and yet she cried like a child again hugging Seth tightly. Her tears soaking his apron and her crying being heard out load. Seth smiled and rubbed her head, he felt like he finally did something good other than making weapons or armor. But that wasn't the only reason he felt accomplished. He felt like he saw his dead daughter in Emi, the child he lost to the last great war before Emi was born.
"Now now no more tears you need to clean yourself up and get ready. You attend in three days better grab your tools and blueprints before you go."
Emi let go of him and wiped her tears. She was finally free to live her life now and work on her precious designs in peace. For the first time since before her parents died she was happy and she didn't want the moment to end.
**********
Emi arrived at the academy finally. Three days had passed and she felt like the weight on her shoulders was lifted, along with ten years worth of dirt and oil off her skin. It took her three hours to wash everything off of her, never having seen herself in a mirror even once thanks to her now ex-boss she didn't realize how much her body had developed.
She was at least 5'4, her body very slim but not completely malnourished. Even her bust size was big, though she never paid any attention to things like that. She was glad Seth cut her hair for her. She nearly cut her scalp trying to figure out how to do it on her own. He gave her a medium-length cut and some bangs to highlight her face. Seth never told her about his daughter, he didn't want to share that with Emi just yet. He was proud though. He felt like a father again helping her out, even getting her a new tool set when he saw how bad hers was.
Emi walked the grounds of the school with a big smile and bright eyes, it was everything she imagined. She made her way to the steps of the school, her heart raced seeing the many Golems and simulator arenas to train them. This truly was her haven.
Emi didn't pay attention when she walked up the steps, she accidentally bumped into a noble girl and her friends.
"I'm very Sorry." She said while bowing. The girl turned around to look at Emi, her face was gorgeous, but behind it was an ugly attitude. Her eyes squinted, and her mouth widened like a snake with utter disgust.
"Oy, you trash! Who do you think you are!?"
