"EVE, show Guidence's mission."
Instantly a holographic screen appeared in front of me displaying the face of a woman all blue.
"Gathering data, please wait. Data received. Documents that have been scanned as many as 14 sheets. Mission process ... 27% complete."
I waved my hand forward and instantly the holographic screen disappeared. Closing my mouth with my right hand, I weighed and tried to remember which coordinates I had not yet collected the data.
My side-mission-Guidence-is a little neglected for working on the main tasks of Grade C missions, accidents, and. What the hell is he doing?
He sat on the bench on the front of the fountain of the academy's front yard. Oh, already wearing a white official-shirt uniform with an ash alma mater as well as a short black skirt.
His head was not stopping looking back and forth. Sometimes he was silent, looked down, and then looked at the people around.
If there is no task, he should learn because he must be good at managing time, including the mission we receive will be very much later.
I tried to get close to him. "What are you doing?"
He was surprised to see me, then took a deep breath. "Because I don't know what to do so choose to sit here."
"Why not go back to the club? If you're free, you should learn from others."
"Club's? Oh, about that. I don't know where the class is. This place is very spacious, but I don't find a room that looks like a classroom."
Ah, he really doesn't understand anything. I don't know why I feel bad leaving him alone.
"No, there's no class here. Our academy is different from the usual. Eeem, you could say our class is a club. There we can study with others, there are some missions and exams to be done with club members. Yeah, like second house. Do you have a club?"
His eyes looked at me, then he shook his head. "Sorry, I don't understand anything."
Really, suddenly a feeling arose in my heart because I really saw it like I did. Lost direction; do not understand anything, when looking for answers precisely ....
"Follow me."
"Eh?"
"Enter the same club as me and I will explain everything, don't hesitate," asked me gently.
She looks at me and-ah, smiles? It didn't seem like it, but in a moment it was also my right hand he held. I was stunned. It's too sudden! Suddenly my heart was beating fast.
"Your hands are warm."
Uh, what's he saying? Instantly I felt blushed.
Slowly trying to let go of his hand, but he just held it tighter. Oh, blimey! I-this ... Before people see me and think no-no, I immediately step up. It's safer to enter the club yourself.
"Red, are you okay?"
I quickened my pace, maybe too fast to the point that he tripped. "Red, fuck--ah!"
Bruk!
Cuddled! I-i'm hugged?! Oh, my God, what the fuck! When I stopped wanting to help her, she grabbed me.
"I'm sorry unintentionally. Ouch, sloppy." My heart is like a drum right now until my body freezes. "Red, your face is flushed. You okay?"
When I saw his hand coming to my face, I was shocked. Lordy! Red, be self-aware! I took a few steps back.
"No. No. gabe. Yeah, it's okay. Ki-we'll be there soon."
She looked at me in wonder, i-ah, enough! I shook my head and immediately took a step. Put both hands in her pants pocket, just in case she doesn't hold my hand anymore.
Until finally our clutter stopped on one of the doors that had a logo like water.
"Club Dion, is this it?" ask Fate when reading the writing under the door logo.
I replied with a muttering voice.
Inhaling deeply, trying to calm down and throwing my mind away.
I went straight in, while Fate said an excuse that drew the attention of the people inside.
"Greetings, my name is Fate" he replied, bowing in honor. So polite.
Seeing his movements, Daniel rubbed his chin.
"New child. Can he join us?"
"Ecie, Red! Yes, you can dong! Finally you invite your prayers too, you guys are a suitable couple, huh Cil?" seduce Daniel by elbowing Cecil-the little girl sitting beside him.
"Ahahaha, we're not a couple," Fate replied with a crisp laugh.
My ears were hot when the club members started to rumble at the time Fate said so. Ah, too many. I didn't want to hear anything so I decided to go to the second floor. Fate followed with a wave of astonishment.
Upon arriving, I immediately slammed the top of the sofa facing the long hallway full of doors.
"Like an inn."
"Yes, students who do not have a home can stay here."
"Home? Can we have a house?" asked Fate in a surprised tone.
"Virtual houses provided by the academy. Using the Heart Core, we can teleport into that virtual house. The house can also be designed as you wish as long as you have the funds. Oh, you can visit your friend's house if you have permission to access it."
"Heart Core? Something like ...A ball that lights up and instantly breaks into holographic pieces forming a vehicle?"
"You know a lot." Putting myself on the couch, I feel like a lot is going on today.
I ended up muttering, "It doesn't take me to sing ...."
"When I sat there, I saw a lot of people on the move. There are holography and many other floating objects. Then the crystal ball, he's like using it? And suddenly that person turned into a hologram shard and was milling. I'll take the conclusion that the Heart Core you're referring to, can be used for teleportation."
Ah, it turns out that the observation was really good.
"Yes, it's Heart Core. Highly multifunctional. It can turn into weapons and vehicles, even teleporting you at map points. It's a very important tool. EVE can track us with the Heart Core so that it can still connect with the academy even if it is a very long distance away. Don't lose it" I explained by taking out a black crystal ball a handful of hands that glowed softly.
He looked at my Heart Core for a moment, then took out his. "My mountain is different, not lit up like you."
"That's probably because yours hasn't been given an elemental stone. Elemental stones help to strengthen the core. The stronger, the more useful."
"It turns out it's useful, meaning I need to do a side job or buy it at the Gear Department ...."
"You know that already? Oh, I happen to have an unfinished side assignment. Want to work it together?" bargained.
He's nodding. I hurried off the sofa.
As I recall, before taking up this task, I had to first report to EVE. "Follow me."
I slowly climbed down the stairs. They were still talking in the middle room. "Go first, want to continue the mission."
"Yooo." Daniel turned to me who started to step out of the club. "Cie invited! Do not be monopolized, know us-we dong!" the screams I ignored.
Outside, I threw a pin similar to the Club Dion logo at Fate and nimbly caught it. A good reflex.
He looked at me in surprise and asked, "What is this?"
"Pin club, wear on the left chest. A sign that you are part of us. Can serve as a protector too if someone's after your heart."
He nodded in understanding and did as I commanded. Fate's pretty submissive. Plus don't know anything and a lot he doesn't remember, if it falls in the wrong hands, he-ah, that feeling. The same emotions as before.
I immediately threw away my face.
When the mind feels chaotic, I leaned my forehead into the right palm to get rid of it and continued to move on later.
We have been walking long enough, indeed the Main Building is quite far from the club buildings. Actually taking a walk like this was good for introducing the academy. However, I put both hands back in my pants pocket.
Didn't want my hand held again, because somehow. A warmth, a nostalgia.
A feeling I don't deserve.
