Chapter 83: Lost Keys
“It’s your fault!”
“No, no way! It’s your fault!”
“Hey, girls… Could you calm down?”
Among the various buildings of the academy, the argument between two girls and a young woman trying to calm the situation caught the attention of… The pigeons.
Yes, late at night there are hardly any students wandering around the academy buildings, except for these three girls.
“You lost it! I gave it to you, what excuses are you going to find?” shouted one voice, a girl with weird black hair.
The other girl, with half of her hair black and the other half pink, snorted angrily. “You gave it to me? That’s pure bullshit! You had it!”
“Uh…” In the middle, a woman with pure white hair sighed with regret and weariness.
Luna and Alice always go around arguing; at first, they had tried to like each other, but after several minutes, they realized that… It’s impossible!
The two were trying to make each other’s lives miserable. At first, Luna tried to be nice and warm, but Alice’s constant attacks made her just as harsh and spiteful.
The girls’ battle had lasted several hours! And now it seemed to reach its final climax!
In front of Nora’s shocked eyes, Alice’s body was covered in bright pink Mana, as was Luna’s body which was covered in black Mana.
They released their powers and Paths.
According to the results given by the path verification machine, Alice’s Path is one rank higher than Luna’s, which is a Unique rank, but Alice’s is Exclusive.
Moreover, they are both in the intermediate rank, with the difference being that Luna is Peak Intermediate and has much more battle experience.
Yes, Luna had made her breakthrough to Peak Intermediate!
It’s a fight between Talent and Hard Work, and despite the disaster that was about to form, Nora looked forward to the fight.
“What are you doing?”, but before they could fight, Theos arrived with an indifferent and cold expression.
The two girls, Luna and Alice, froze, petrified in place. They had been discovered at the worst possible moment…
Turning around, they opened their eyes at the sight of Theos. They noticed immediately that his physical appearance had changed, becoming even more handsome, almost in an unbearable way.
But they quickly answered Theos’ question, “Nothing,” they both said in unison, dispersing their Mana aura.
“Are you sure?”, Theos raised an eyebrow suspiciously, making the girls more nervous.
Since when was he here, had he seen everything?
But before they could defend themselves, Theos let out a big sigh. “Forget it, I’m too tired to deal with this now, let’s better talk tomorrow,” he commented, approaching the girls and giving them both a big hug.
For a moment, they just enjoyed the hug, even though they only spent a few hours apart, they had missed him quite a bit.
Unfortunately, Theos just wanted to sleep and rest, so he broke the hug.
Holding out his hands, he signaled with his hand for something to give him. Seeing this sign, Alice and Luna broke out in a cold sweat, while Nora laughed at the whole scenario.
“What’s the matter? I’m asking for my keys,” he said in confusion.
As he remembered, he had told them to grab his room keys for him, since he couldn’t retrieve them himself.
But now no one seemed to give them the keys… A bad feeling settled in his heart.
“Have they lost my keys?” asked Theos with a frown.
Alice was about to say something, but quickly Luna beat her to it. “No, it was Alice who lost your keys,” she confessed.
“What are you talking about? You lost them!” countered Alice angrily.
The two stared at each other with hatred, if before Theos thought he imagined sparks and lightning between their gazes, now it was an undeniable fact.
“How did you lose my keys?” he asked, not peculiarly blaming anyone.
“Uh…”
“Uh…”
The two didn’t know how to respond, remembering the events that had transpired today until they lost their keys… “Right, how did we manage to lose it?” Luna asked.
“Just from one moment to the next it disappeared without a trace of sound,” Alice stated.
Theos rolled his eyes. Fortunately, Nora offered a rescue. “Little brother, how about sleeping with me… I mean, in my room? It’ll just be for today before you get the key back.”
Hearing Nora’s words, both Luna and Alice expressed their disagreement. “No way!”
“Wait,” he unexpectedly interrupted the disagreement of the pair of women, who had finally agreed on today.
Stepping closer to Nora, he smiled and nodded. “Fine, I’ll go to your room to sleep,” this single statement made both Luna and Alice jump again.
But they stopped, not because Theos told them, but because they knew why he was doing it… Teaching them a lesson, he wasn’t going to sleep with anyone today to teach them a lesson to behave better.
Knowing this, the two fell silent, their faces full of guilt. “Seriously, how did they lose the keys?”
“I have no idea, it’s weird…” for the first time, Alice and Luna bonded over this mystery, and without realizing it, their friendship would be reborn at that moment.
Instead, Nora grabbed Theos’ hand and pulled him towards one of the hundreds of buildings in the academy. “Goodbye, sisters-in-law, I’ll borrow my brother for one night,” she exclaimed.
Both Luna and Alice frowned, but still let it go. First of all, Theos was not against this, and besides, they wanted to find the keys for Theos and make him proud.
And in the same way, so began an all-night search for the key.
Instead, Theos was dragged away by a contented Nora, who opened one of the buildings.
“Sorry, men can’t come in,” said one of the guards on-site when she saw Theos.
The rules demanded that both men and women have their buildings and rooms, only men could enter a building with a woman during the day.
But at night, almost midnight, a man and a woman together… The Supervisor frowned.
Noticing the female guard, Nora smiled happily. “He’s my brother, he’s only coming to stay one night because he doesn’t have his room keys.”
The guard was about to scold Nora and Theos, but her eyes sharpened a little, realizing something terrifying… She was in front of the successors of the Fallen family! Theos Von Fallen and Nora Von Fallen!
Quickly, the guard’s expression relaxed; she even smiled slightly. “Sure, you can come in, you can even take as much time as you want!” She exclaimed.
Nora smiled as she received the supervisor’s consent, pushing Theos into the room.
‘I have a feeling this is going to be a strange night,’ Theos thought with a slight smile.
