"Big Sister...are you sure about this? There are many uncertainties in your plan and your destination is very difficult to reach. Are you sure, you would be okay?" Charlotte couldn't help but smile at her little brother, who was undoubtedly worried for her.
Not only he, but her mother also seemed concerned despite how encouraging she sounded previously.
Crouching a little, the brown-haired girl, ruffled his hair slightly as she conveyed her thoughts, "Don't worry about me, Rey. Regardless of hurdles, your big sister is confident to cross them all."
Charlotte has recently decided to enroll in the Starfall Academy. The reason for her sudden change in decision arises from the desperation she has been feeling for the past few days.
'Stop trapping yourself in your past and strive for a better future.' His every word had been etched on her mind and following his words, she was heading to the place where she hoped to find her future.
"Are you sure you will find him there, though? Although that person was strong he didn't show any sign of being a Divine Awakened." Her little brother, who was only a year apart, asked in a doubtful tone.
Just like everyone, Rey also has heard the feat that the masked man achieved before he disappeared. The young boy knew the intention behind his sister's sudden change of mind. However, if that savior wasn't a Divine Awakened then there was no point in going to the Starfall Academy—which only allows a Light User to enroll.
Rey and the older lady whom they call, 'Mother', were startled upon seeing that thin smile lifting Charlotte's lips.
It was unusual to see her smiling like this so evilly.
What neither of them noticed was the parchment Charlotte held in her hand, which was the sole clue she had to find her savior.
Turning her attention to particularly no one, Charlotte uttered in a tone, that sounded passionate rather than confident,
"Oh, you don't have to worry about it. I will surely find him, even if I have to take some extreme steps. "
Charlotte didn't have any life goals until now other than to ensure a good future for her mother and her siblings. However, now, along with that motive, her entire being was encouraged to meet that person to whom Charlotte owes a 'Thanks'.
Clutching the parchment in her hand, she muttered under her breath,
'Wherever you are Kyle....I will make sure to find you. '

It has been some days since Kyle and Alatia returned to Belur and were engaged in their everyday work as usual.
Kyle was exempted from his daily duties since he still was recovering.
Maria was extremely concerned about his sudden disappearance but thankfully Collen had sent a mail beforehand which allowed her to take a breath of relief.
However, once her eyes laid on the bandaged Kyle, injured and broken, she was once again reminded, of how reckless Kyle could be.
Like a mother, she scolded him for a good hour, and Alatia supported Maria for her actions.
It didn't take long, mostly because they had many topics to converse about before the duo reached their destination.
A small part of the town is surrounded by tall walls that cannot be climbed until the ambusher isn't well-experienced in their job. And even if they succeed in climbing up, the long poisonous spikes awaiting at the crown might prove to be fatal.
This separate section was created on special orders from the central ministry in Belur last year after the Great Sage agreed to teach Alatia.
The two got off the carriage and stood side by side. Kyle has already worn a wooden mask to hide his face for obvious reasons.
The entrance of the Sage grounds only opens from the inside.
Alatia was about to call out and inform about her arrival when suddenly the large steel gate suddenly pushed open and revealed the figure of an elderly-looking woman with her eyes widened apart.
Alatia was naturally startled and so was Kyle upon witnessing the woman all of a sudden.
However, their surprise didn't stop the old woman from approaching Kyle and raising her hand toward him.
"Master. " Alatia placed herself between them and shielded Kyle behind her.
The old woman frowned and stated, "If I wanted to harm him, I wouldn't have shown myself in the first place."
Alatia didn't waver from her stance and responded, "I am aware, master, but I can't take a chance to let you touch him until you have a reason."
Kyle panicked behind her. He believed that Alatia was being a little too cautious but as someone who knows the Sage closely, Alatia was being sensible—well, from her perspective she was.
The old lady's frown deepened as she kept her gaze steady on Alatia. In response, Alatia also retained her gaze without showing any signs of backing off.
Amidst the wordless battle of the two, the older one yielded first, "Alright fine. I won't touch your man. But once he enters the place don't expect the same mercy from me again."
The old lady turned around and began walking inside—much to Alatia's surprise as she glanced towards Kyle and soon asked the Sage.
"Master...that means you accept him as your student?"
There was no response from the lady but that was enough for an answer.
Alatia held Kyle's hand and looked up at him with her eyes turned crescent,
"Let's go, Kyle. You are the thirtieth student of the Great Sage. "
Kyle, who hasn't spoken a word after getting off the carr
iage, only could let himself get dragged by his lady.
'... seriously, what kind of twisted situation has this turned into?'
