Emery returned to his room within the academy hall, seeking a moment of respite. As he settled onto the comfortable bed, a knock on the door interrupted the quiet of the room. Klea entered without a word, her presence bringing a sense of warmth and familiarity.
Without hesitation, she slipped under the covers beside him, her arms wrapping around him in a comforting embrace. Her face drew close to his, her eyes reflecting affection and understanding as she spoke softly. "I'm glad things are working out with you two."
Emery smiled warmly in response, grateful for her support. "Thank you for covering for me... and for understanding."
"Of course," Klea replied gently, her finger brushing lightly against his cheek. "She is your daughter... You need to take good care of her."
Their closeness in that moment spoke volumes of their shared history and the bond they shared. They spent the evening in each other's arms, the weight of the day lifting as they found solace in their connection and the promise of better days ahead.He knew that Klea, with her affinity for water, would greatly benefit from the spring's energies. Ashaka, on the other hand, would find the spring's light energy immensely helpful for his own development. Emery felt it was only fair to share the reward, given how much they had done for the academy while he was away handling personal matters.
Seeing his determination, Klea and Ashaka finally relented. "Alright then, let's go."
The three headed toward the special area within the mountain and arrived at the chamber at their allocated time. However, when they got there, they found two grand magus standing guard at the door, both adorned with excessive golden accessories that glittered in the ambient light. It seemed another instructor was still using the spring.
Realizing their time slot had already passed, Emery approached the grand magus and politely reminded them of their reservation. The two grand magus, however, didn't even acknowledge his presence, continuing to stand stoically by the door.
Klea, noticing the disrespect, felt her irritation rising. However, the fact that the door was guarded by two grand magus indicated the importance of the person inside, and she decided to approach the situation calmly. She stepped forward and asked about the identity of the instructor inside.
Her inquiry was met with a curt and dismissive reply: "Scram!" The word was spat out with clear disdain, echoing in the corridor.
Such blatant disrespect towards Klea immediately stirred Emery's frustration, but before he could intervene, a composed female voice emanated from behind the door.
"Why is it so noisy... Who is it?" The voice inquired with a touch of irritation.
One of the grand magus replied curtly. "Just magus instructors from the middle hall," "I am still using the spring, just wait quietly," the voice insisted firmly.
Unfortunately, Emery knew that rescheduling the slot would not be easy; it might take weeks before he could secure another opportunity.
Klea's patience waned at the dismissive tone, her brow furrowing in annoyance. Emery, however, decided to use VIA, to verify the identity of the person inside.
After a moment, VIA responded with the following information:
[Grand Magus Isthar]
[Hall 6 - Nephilim Faction]
The revelation that it was Isthar, made Emery believe that he had to tread carefully in handling this situation.
