V3-C22: Arrival at Onost Academy Their carriage stalled to a halt, and from it exited four people. Avaros was the first one to step out, his eyes glued to the paper that contained everything that Lady Aqua had taught him. This will give me so much to research. A great misfortune turned into fortune when he was attacked. “Even death is a small price to pay for the knowledge of this ‘Aether’.” Shortly after, the trio of girls made their way out of the carriage. Avaros turned on his heel toward the trio and bowed. “I thank you for such knowledge, by the honor of the Lux family, the royal family will always have an ally in us.” His grin widened, and fists clenched around the notes. Aqua raised her hand, “Knowledge is to be shared. I am honored to meet someone as thirsty for it as you.” Her stood straight, his eyes piercing the trio. “I have a small request to make to your highness.” Sheira tilted her head. “What is it?” “Let’s make sure to be in the same testing halls. I wish to observe your real power firsthand.” “I don’t think that will be an issue.” Sheira awkwardly rubbed the back of her head. “Good, unfortunately, this means I must leave your side for now and prepare; however, we shall meet soon.” He curtsied and turned his back toward the trio. The trio turned to each other. “Rather strange individual.” Azure cupped her chin. “I don’t know, he is rather charming. Not as much as my Lucia, of course.” Sheira chuckled. “Your… Lucia…” Azure’s eyes fluttered. “What? I like her, you aren't the only one who appreciates the presence of a hot lady. Of course, she doesn’t know it just yet, but I plan to make her mine as soon as I am back home.” “Shameless…” “Unlike you.” She leaned in close and whispered. “I take what I want.” Azure’s ears twitched wildly. “Ugh, I can’t believe you sometimes.” Aqua tapped her fingers against her cheek. To think they had discovered the aether on their own, however, that father seems rather interesting. He must have been in contact with the world soul. World Soul was the originator of Aether conversion, the World itself had to grace the mortals with such knowledge, and only then would it spread to be used by anyone else. She finally had a lead. She crossed her arms and stepped away from Azure and Sheira. While she had enjoyed the banter, her thoughts had to be focused elsewhere. The voice spoke of the empress, and it was begging that entity for help. She hummed and tilted her head up. Whatever the rot was, it made the world soul beg for help. Even if it’s a weaker world than Sun God, it should be able to swat away any troublesome pests. Whatever it is, it is far beyond even the divine parasites. She shook her head, she had a lead now. The Lux family had a connection, however, as proven by their shallow knowledge, it painted a grave picture of the world's soul on this planet. It must mean it's capable of manifesting, and it even fought against Sun God’s presence even if he had spared it. Aqua felt a tug on her shoulder, and her mind was forced back into the current reality. Her head snapped toward Azure, who stared at her. Her eyes were wide and almost teary. “Aqua? You were in thought again. Is something the matter? Are you keeping something that’s bothering you from us?” Aqua shook her head, This is my duty, not yours, Azu. “Azure, you needn’t worry about me. I appreciate your concern, I really do. However, there are things that only I can deal with.” “B…but…” Her ears slumped. Stop being adorable, you are making it hard for me. Her hand hovered right above her head, then slowly landed on her long white hair. “Trust me, Azu. If a need arises, I will call upon your help.” She gently slid her hand down to Azure’s cheek and smiled. “Promise?” A tear rolled down her face, and her expression soured. “Of course, you know, I preferred the strong and untrusting you that I met when I first arrived in this world. I know your confidence might have suffered, but you are strong and beautiful.” Her hand moved under
