I can’t help but feel conflicted as I look out over the edge of the Garden at the Tier 3 city we’re approaching. The city, just like every other Tier 3 city, has two sets of walls. One large wall with a powerful barrier covering the entire main city, a city consistent of mostly two or three story buildings, with one five story building acting as the town hall and a couple other decently sized manors that are likely owned by the few Guardians in the city. And one much smaller wall only half the size of…-

After the duel, Angelica quickly sprints over to me and practically tackles me with a hug, the short girl grinning like an idiot as she does so. And it takes all of my mental fortitude not to throw her off due to the physical contact. “That was amazing, Scarlet!!!” she exclaims before seemingly remembering and backing away, breaking the contact. “We I smile at that, but right when I’m about to respond, I hear a particular conversation that strikes my interest. Ava winces at that, but doesn’t…

The second day of the internship is spent mostly just going on a tour of the underside of the Garden, which is a lot more modern in terms of technology. Probably because the underside is meant for battle and not living or anything else. Aside from some storage and the hangars, that is. After that I’m given the opportunity to train with some of the members of the Garden, following which I’m led to that very same training hall as yesterday. And immediately upon entering the training hall to start a…

The Demon King’s mouth quirks upwards ever so slightly as he looks out from the balcony of his bedroom in the castle at the barren wasteland spreading for as far as the eye can see. Or as far as most eyes can see. After nineteen and a half years of searching, she is finally within sight. And all it took in the end was for his granddaughter to become so well-known amongst the humans that the changelings he sent could easily find her just from their news alone. Unfortunately the scrying of the succubi…

The rest of the day goes by pretty quickly, with the Bloody Valkyrie seemingly throwing herself into the internship as a way to forget about the duel that she lost. She shows me around the Garden, pointing out the residential buildings, the Association member’s personal shops, and the main building, along with various different places in the main building that I might need to go to at some point. Like the reception desk where I’ll be able to exchange Association points for some of the resources the…

After the carriage lands, we all get out and begin walking through the plaza towards a large street. One split in two by a river of blood, with an occasional bridge over the river. When I look around, I find that every last person here is not only female, as I already saw from above, but they’re also Guardians of varying levels. Not to mention varying ages, with some being just between sixteen to eighteen years old, and some being in their twenties. Although the higher Class Guardians are harder to…

The trip ends up being incredibly awkward. But then again, it’s me alone in a carriage flying through the sky with White and Valkyrie just staring at each other. Although more than once the Valkyrie has tried asking White for a duel. And gotten rejected. Overall, White is acting quite a bit different from how she normally does. Instead of the socially awkward mother trying to fix her past mistakes, she’s acting like the professional and powerful Knight everyone in the world knows her to be. It’s an…

I collapse in my bed with a grunt, followed by a sigh. That was… a lot. After that whole confession thing was out of the way, they started giving me more details on what White had told Belle and Arthur and why she did it. Not that there was much more explanation on the why than was already said. Then Allen and Cynthia told me how they figured it out, which has me wondering if there are any other Class IV Guardians who know what a blood lycan smells like. Even if Allen assured me there shouldn’t have…

The next morning finds me awkwardly sitting in Allen’s office with Allen, Cynthia, and Belle – who had joined at the last moment to my surprise – all in the same arrangement we had when we settled on the adoption. Me sitting on a chair on one side of the table, and the other three in chairs on the other. None of us say anything for a few seconds before Allen finally asks, “You wanted to tell us something?” I look up at the three to find Allen and Cynthia seemingly with a hopeful look on their…
