Carol and Anthony both approach me with the girl simply giving me a nod and the guy grinning from ear to ear as he asks, “So did you see the annual broadcast with the Knights?” I blankly stare at him, which seems to be answer enough for him since his grin widens and he continues while bringing up his terminal with a video on it, “Well watch this then!” The video he shoves in my face shows four of the five Knights – with my mother missing as always – sitting across from a newsman as the man…-

The rest of my exams go by quickly as well, with Blood Magic’s exam being particularly cruel. But I do manage to get through it, with an even higher grade than last time on the Blood Magic exam as well. Also, the relatively small class size for many of my classes definitely makes things nice when the exams are graded extremely quickly. Like, by the end of the day quickly. A speed that I can very much appreciate. I can’t help but grimace though as I step out of my room wearing my stupid Lion’s…

Henry Cooper looks around nervously at the five chairs seated in a semicircle in front of him, with a glass table between him and the tables. He doesn’t show his nerves though, as that would be unprofessional and – in the case of these four individuals, one of the five seats being empty – career suicide. Of the four individuals, Blue can be seen wearing a blue and black suit and tie as he stares at Henry without a single hint of emotion on his face, making him look almost dead inside. Meanwhile Red…

I stare in silence, eventually noticing that Tar had left my lap and is staring at it as well. Neither of us say anything for a while. The great White’s name is Amelia Asger. Which means my last name did come from my mother after all. I knew it might happen at some point, but I wasn’t expecting to get one so soon. An achievement locked etched skill from White. Although this will be a pain to level up. I really wish you could just level up achievement locked skills like this one and blood…

I think back to my interactions with her before realizing that I do kind of treat her like a little sister. Huh. Good thing it’s impossible for her to be a changeling in disguise or something, since she’s the daughter of Blue and clearly has his inherent skills. And changelings can’t have inherent skills. Even Tar confirmed it almost right away after meeting her when he mentioned the smell changelings have that she clearly doesn’t have. A smell that can’t be covered up. Which reminds me that…

Aria and I play games for a little while before she gets a message from her butler and manager and has to go. So after seeing her out the door, I head back to my room and lie down on the bed, letting out a sigh as soon as I do so. Such a long day. Fought in four Fractures, one of which I cleared out personally, and the others I was beaten to the punch. Overall, only gained three levels. Not a single one of them from the three Fractures after the first, unfortunately. Oh. Yeah. Forgot about that. At the…

Okay, that’s not as bad as I was… wait, gemstone broadcasts? What are those? Yeah, that makes sense. Actually, do you know why the humans from their world put a barrier up in the first place? And come to think of it, I feel like we talked about this subject before. But you also mentioned something about not finding me with the help of your father back then, and we never actually discussed it. What’s with that? How did you find me? Tar doesn’t say anything for a few seconds before answering my…

The others – after their initial surprise to learning that I was the one who cleared the Fracture, and Belle’s initial scolding of my being reckless before she realized that I wasn’t – quickly move on to bringing the results of our shopping spree back to the limo. And during this process, I can’t help but notice that Arthur was still holding the bags when I got back. Guess he held onto them in the bunker he hid in while the others fought. And now he’s carrying them again. I would feel pity…

I don’t waste any time in reaching the core and grabbing the thing with my shifted hand before raising it to my face to get a better look. The thing is absolutely gorgeous, with a gemstone like quality to it and a radiant red glow similar to the blood moon above the building. It is as smooth as glass. One of the smoothest things I’ve ever felt. And the thing is even smooth in the corners it has as a three dimensional octagonal shape. Also, the thing gives me an odd feeling. A familiar one. Along with…

“How…” Phenex mutters as he sees the girl wiping sweat from her brow with hot steam lifting off of her hands from his attack. An attack the filthy human actually managed to block without getting severely wounded. Even Phenex doesn’t know what exactly it was that set the Demon King off on the humans. None of the demons do. Not even the Demon Lords, if rumor is to be believed. But what he does know is that, according to the history passed down by his father, his father’s father, and various…
