After that incident I wasn't allowed to compete on the anniversary event and same with Cecile. Honestly she was shocked. that's normal since we are just in training we aren't really supposed to fight with our lives on the line
"Haru I heard what you did was dangerous, please don't do that again"
I looked at Cecile, on a wheelchair with her amputated legs. the poison actually was a flesh corroding venom. it ate her calves. now I really felt bad. If I didn't asked her to come with me just because I was blowing off some steam
"Haru!"
Her voice is distressed she tugged on my arm and held my hand firmly. Looking at my eyes with such a strong emotion of anguish. Even though those emotions are not directed to herself but to me as well.
"it.. wasn't your fault"
I really felt a heavy guilt for that. I really didn't mean to drag you into this. Well not that I know what will exactly happen, Even though we could grow them back I still felt bad even.
"Instead lets just watch the Event tomorrow ok?"
yeah the event, I shook my head. right now I don't have something to write with so i grabbed her arm and start writing on her palm 'not safe, stay' that's what I just wrote
"well this time you don't have to worry. Teacher's will be watching with us so.."
her face is really saying please, I want to refuse but since there are teachers there. It might be safer, after all the one's I should be wary of is the Student council. Since that was my thought process I accepted, and since we were both patients at the moment. we decided to watch movies together on her phone since mine was trashed.
—————
Me and Cecile got the permission to spectate the the Event but on the teacher's sit, seems like we having a VIP treatment. Though resting On the hospital It seems like due to the attack me and Cecile are going to rest for throughout the remaining two days. Well that's fine
Cecile invited me in a game of Uno. since I have nothing to do I just played with her
"since a casual game would be boring.. want to have punishments?"
ah. a game of Uno with punishments.. Well why not as I shuffle the cards and then distributed them
7 green
"Haru, does life in the Academy excites you?"
I drew first 7 blue while nodding at her question
"you know, I went in the Academy because I like being near the City. even though tutors are available"
She drew 3 Blue
"The outer walls are kind of nice too but there are too much military action there"
I drew 3 green
"What about you?"
she drew 4 green
I gave her a smile and went ahead to write, 'It's fun. the studies with someone and spending time with people in general' then putting down a plus 2 green
"ah!" she placed down another plus 2 but in red
I snickered and placed down another plus 2 in yellow
"that's unfair!"
she grabbed 6 cards as a result
"are you really aiming for that punishment?"
As I lay down a 1 yellow
she laid down 6 yellow
I wrote down Uno and laid down a 4 yellow
"tsk tsk!"
and she drew a 8 yellow, that concludes the game since I have a yellow reverse card.
"ugh... that plus is unfair!"
I laughed
'What punishment do you want?'
She kind of sighed and started thinking. I insinuated a kiss and this girl is now blushing red.
"Wha-what do you?"
I grabbed her arm and she let out an "eek!" as I just used two fingers to slap it on her wrist. She was confused for a moment and now she's having a tantrum. I laughed at that moment of her being annoyed.
The last 2 days aren't very memorable, but it was the time where I had fun the most. The last day in which we have to go have Cecile's prosthetic legs get checked. There wasn't issue whatsoever so we tried walking around the hospital. if she didn't get used to it, she'll be on a wheelchair.
I went ahead to walk with her around the Hospital with a guardian of course. having the same accident there is stupid since the place is guarded but it's better to be safe than sorry.
"Haru, By the way"
'?'
"Every time we aren't talking you're always deep in thought. Like- realizing a conspiracy is happening"
I shook my head and just wrote on her hand 'not really'
"hmm.. If you ever have something in mind. you can tell me alright?"
I nodded to that as we walk along the Hospital garden.

We are now going back to the academy being escorted by a teacher in his Car
"thank you sir Johnson!"
"haha.. its my duty as your homeroom adviser"
we went back to the Right Wing of the academy and the whole third floor was changed like a football arena. Its wide and there's a lot seats. Me, Cecile and sir Johnson took a sit close to each other, though we're near the teachers reserved seat.
"are both of you excited?"
Cecile excitedly said yes and started rambling about the seniors at 4th and 5th years. I was curious as well so I just listened, it turned out the most powerful one out there which is Seishi, withdraw. Since he won't get defeated unless its a teacher. His sword technique is focused in Defense which a new thing I've heard even in past life his offensive magic is like taking on an edged locomotive.
The other Seniors on the other hand are mostly Elemental. Lot of their Unique powers are revolved in elements. only a few uses Imbued Weapons, C'mon we're in the future and all of you are still thinking like a past sage, Not using any tools whatsoever.
The Event went like as it is, There is a few cheers then and there, What caught my attention the most is that Snow actually joined the fight. though She went down and there and decided to look at me, She's showing off. The one who's fighting Snow is... Adrian? wait wasn't it different on the board why is Adrian there?
"Hello ladies and gentlemen. sorry but we found what we need its time for the Tournament to stop~"
On what I know from the past. they're supposed to be not here. something went out of Adrian's nose, one would think it's snot but it was long, blackish and creepy. Its a parasite.
