章節 42: Chapter 37: The Sacred Grounds (2)

Elizabeth is always being wary ever since she met Regis. He is someone that was unusually transferred to the academy without taking any examination and he is also surprisingly related closely to the famous academy director.

Then the second day of class, his younger sister who is surprisingly the very famous child prodigy suddenly appeared out of nowhere in their classroom. She even made all the other students have a hard time with the magical pressure she emitted because she found out that they tried to bully her brother.

No one would ever have thought that the guy they want to kick out from their class has a genius sibling. And the genius sister even said that her older brother is way stronger than her. It only indicates that Regis is stronger than a genius child that only appears in a thousand years!

And the most important thing of all, Regis has a very close relationship with princess Arias. Ever since the duel between the two after the opening ceremony, Arias and Regis are always being caught together by many students. The two even went on a night date the same day after their duel. Rumors say that there's something about their relationship.

Elizabeth knows that Arias is searching for her childhood friend who is also a boy. She knows that even though the princess appears cold and aloof to others, deep inside she is a very sweet and caring girl. After Arias learned that he is the one she's always searching for, a serious and fast turn of a hundred and eighty degrees change happened in her feelings. Her best friend, Arias, seems to like and trust him very much.

The truth is that Elizabeth also admires Regis for his skills related to magic and his anti-magic skills. Heck, he even has that overwhelming magical pressure. But as Arias best friend, Elizabeth can't shake off the feeling that there's something about Regis that she can't explain. Something different from the other people in the academy. He also has an air similarly to the academy director.

'Maybe I should start investigating the things about him when we returned...'

As Eliza was thinking somewhere along those lines while she was looking at Regis, a whisper, audible only to her, suddenly breaks her train thoughts and brought her back to reality.

"—sometimes there are things that you better not know of..."

Before she knew, Cecil already moved behind her and now staring at her with a serious pair of oppositely colored eyes yet wearing a playful smile.

Just the look from her gave Elizabeth a different feeling. Cold sweat suddenly trickled from her back as she feels that indescribable pressure. It's a pressure that can only be emitted by mages who already experienced a lot of hellish life and death battles like wars but since the continent of Ozmark where the Edinburgh Empire is very peaceful in the past 50 years, there's no way Elizabeth will know of what the pressure she feels mean.

But that pressure, although a bit milder, felt similar to Regis. She already experienced the pressure Regis is emitting so she can somewhat relate it to Cecil's.

'...So they are somewhat related to each other!!'

No more words needed to be spoken, now Elizabeth knows that Cecil is related to Regis and maybe Clarabelle too. She thought they are only old acquaintances who came to the same magic academy and happen to be invited on this short outing.

Unbeknownst to her, the pressure she experienced firsthand was only the tip of Regis and Cecil's power. If she was to experience the full brunt, her mind and body will surely collapse.

Elizabeth did her best to pretend nothing happened as she headed to the group and it seems that Arias did not notice anything. As for Reena, even if the little girl noticed something, she will only ignore it as she doesn't really care about it.

She tried to send a sneaking glance at Regis, to check if he knows about it. But as Regis being Regis, he did not fail Elizabeth's expectations. He wears a small smile as his eyes met her glance, telling her that he knows everything, causing Eliza to be angry at herself.

"Come with me Arias, let's go to the middle of the field. We will be able to enjoy this place better if we go there. Cecil, Clarabelle, and Elizabeth, you're free to do what you want." Said Regis to the other girls as he guided Arias to the center of the field.

"As for my beloved little sister, reign yourself and don't overstep your boundaries while playing with the fairies." He added without turning his head.

Soon after that, a cheerful voice immediately filled the flower field as Reena started to play with the fairies while laughing and running around in the place.
