Chapter 719 Devastated others
?[Eon's POV: ]
[[ "How is she doing, Rein?" ]]
Leaving my big sister alone, I was finally going down to the second floor lobby where Rein and Miss Mia were talking right now.
[[ "She has calmed down, and she looks better now. I think we can leave her alone and she will be alright by tomorrow or something." ]]
[[ "That's good." ]]
Miss Mia won this year's alchemy competition, and achieved what she had dreamt of for the past few years. But after hearing all that, seeing the people and their reaction to all that had happened and considering how she was given that strange vial of potion by that unknown entity, a lot of things were going on in her mind now.
She was confused as to what to feel and what to think of everything that had happened, but Rein talked with her.
'She told her how there is nothing wrong in celebrating a victory, how the loss of others was not her mistake, how the elixir that was granted to her meant something much greater than just a coincidence, as well as she should stop worrying about things that are unrelated to her.'
It took Rein a long time, but at the very least, it seems they reached a positive conclusion.
[[ "I am almost there. Wait for me and we will-... oh. Looks like you will have to wait a little longer Rein." ]]
[[ "Hmmm? What is it? Did something-" ]]
[[ "Ah, no no. Captain Alpha is here. Let me talk with him a bit." ]]
[[ "Hmmm... come quickly." ]]
We invited a few of our friends, some acquaintances, and a few others who were present there to join us in the Heliox estate for a few days. And since it was approved by the headmaster himself, they had to come with us.
'They were told the people were chosen at random, but that was not the case at all. The othe in Hu?r students who also wanted to come with them knew that as well.'
Princess Isabella and Prince Claudius, Quin and Lizzy, Titania and her two vice captains, Nox and Med, Miss Mia and Ball, Eula and lastly captain Alpha were invited this time.
And though many others also wanted to have this golden opportunity to live in the Heliox mansion in the capital of Roxanna empire, only nine others were chosen with a random draw as per the instruction of the headmaster..
'And since the students themselves did not have any say in this, even though slime master Deleon, villainess Ezra and oversmart Nova had no intention to come to some faraway noble's house, they can't do anything about it anymore.'
We would leave around tomorrow evening after everyone had finished their preparation and everything, so, until then, all nine of them and the rest were staying in this place.
'Some of them were indifferent to the things that were bounced, the lives that were lost and the things that happened, and that was a good thing.'
Some other students were crying, screaming, mourning for the people totally unrelated to them, and the more empathetic ones among them, ones like Med, Quin and Princess Bell, were in a rose condition.
'Thankfully, Quin had Chry, Princess Bell had Alf, and Med was being handled by Zoe.' This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
Zoe was practically looking after all the other people that needed help right now. And, she was the best person to have around in times like this.
We were hoping their moods will return to normal or at least get a little more positive when we reach our home in the capital.
Aunt Haze's flowers, Alf's books, Uncle El's lab and my Anna will help in their healing, and the Povpoi are there as well, so, it should be a fun experience to all of them.
"Captain Alpha?"
"Hmmm? Oh... Master Axion."
"Haaaa... yes sir."
I left him to his own devices. And continued towards where miss Mia and Rein were.
It was late night already so the two of us had to go see the others, and get some sleep.
We have been up for two nights... and after fighting that war, we needed at least a little bit of rest.
[[ Oy, Eon. ]]
[[ "What is it Rayray?" ]]
[[ I was wondering if you were going to test your new origin skills. ]]
[[ "Hmmm? Now that you mention it, I was going to do it before going to bed... what is it? Is something wrong?" ]]
[[ Well, how about you do that in a safer place somewhere far away where no one can see you.
You see, from my experience with my late master, I have seen cases of very powerful branch origin skills appearing in individuals that have a late origin awakening.
And since you are a unique case anyway... ]]
[[ "Hmm. I understand. We will do it after we go back. How's Zoe though? Is she well?" ]]
[[ "I am fine big brother-" ]]
[[ She's done dealing with all the children and has exhausted herself completely.
She looks miserable. Please send someone or tell her to go and rest.
She doesn't listen to me anyway. ]]
[[ "Oyy Rayray! Whose familiar are you?! How can you say something like that about your master?" ]]
Of course she would be exhausted.
Being with those people, especially our crybabies Med and Nes was no easy task.
'Just the fact that she was taking care of all the other people alongside them was a task even Rein and I find difficult.'
She is amazing.
And she has done well.
[[ "We will be there in a minute, Zoe. You are going to your room and sleep for the night. No excuses." ]]
[[ "But big brother-" ]]
[[ "No Zoe. I said no excuses." ]]
She was a divine being but she had not gained her complete powers.
She was only a little stronger than me in her current state which obviously meant she was the same as us mortals.
'She also needs sleep just like all of us. And I am not going to let her be around those young adults for the rest of the night.'
What she did for them was enough.
Now, they should just take care of themselves.
