During breakfast; A big-butted Butler-Maiden stood outside the privacy barrier.
Almendra's eyes locked onto the woman's neck adorned with a blue jeweled light-pink choker. "Thyfall…" She grunted scornfully, but ultimately, let in the Butler-Maiden.
"Good Morning, «Daughter of Breyda». I have come on My Lady's behalf. She tasked me to deliver this invitation."
She presented a floating red letter with elaborated pinkish patterns.
Almendra grabbed the object; Her irises shone brightly, while her black sclera turned so dark, that it was unsettling to watch.
With the Maid's approval. The letter reached Balalaika's hands, who read the content aloud. What displeased the Butler-Maiden.
My dear, beloved Kaya…
I love you.
Did your heart race reading my confession?.
Mine did writing it. Don't tell anyone about this; Or i will die of shame.
Jokes aside; An incredible opportunity has presented itself for the two of us.
My super strong cousin, Giassmennia, has come to Bramnt.
I don't know the details very well. But she and her friend, (Who ended up being my cousin Cailly), are looking to tutor people with low ratings.
Two geniuses of our generation could help is to improve.
Aren't you excited?!
I am!.
But to be honest, Cailly scares me a little.
She is always plotting something, which i understand.
Her Cyannûss Family is on the rise, she can't be slacking off like i do.
However, last time, she was really mean with me.
If it weren't for Naíndra; I wouldn't be here.
And no, I'm not exaggerating.
Cailly did jumped at me with killing instinct. For someone who is so composed.
It only makes it weirder.
I must had done something to anger her.
In any case; My grandmother didn't like a bit hearing about what happened. And gave me a Butler-Maiden to be safe.
Now, i'm watched-over all day long.
So please.
Come with me to the conference room near the private offices.
I heard that Instructor Valkysh will be present to officialize the matter.
Always yours: Odette Thyfall Mussers.
P.S. Read this out loud. That Butler-Maiden loves secrecy. She hasn't even told me her name. Can you believe it?!.
The letter's patterns ignited in pinkish flames, and destroyed the invitation.
{Instructor Valkysh?. What is she plotting?}
"This reunion sounds entertaining." Admitted Naylyn, and Vurckair agreed.
"Indeed. We'll tag along, Bereza."
After breakfast, they went to the conference room.
Outside the entrance, two ladies had a discussion.
However, the blue-eyed blonde interrupted the ongoing exchange, waved her hand, and hurried towards the newcomers.
"Kaya!." Odette grasped Balalaika's delicate hands; But turned her sight to the side. "Who is this Vecturion?. Don't tell me he is your boyfriend?!. She leaned closer to Balalaika's face, and whispered. "He's handsome."
Vurckair smirked and winked at Odette. She blushed, and giggled nervously.
"I've seen, and been hit on by better looking guys. Like Cailly's brother." Remarked the haughty, conceited pink-haired damsel behind Odette.
{The type of woman i abhor the most. A cock tease pretending to be a queen bee when she's not even a larva}
"Cincaid is handsome?." Puzzled said the blonde. "With that constipated face; I can't say he is."
Accompanied by a boyish tomboy; Cailly turned the corridor's corner. "What did you cackled about my brother?."
"I said Cincaid is ugly!. Like you, «Ironing board»!". Odette stated firmly, and boasted out her large breasts constrained in a white cotton t-shirt and denim overalls.
Though she walked back, hiding behind the Butler-Maiden; Who has a very modest bosom if compared to her own massive rear.
"Sorry, «My Meat-shield», I wasn't talking about you. Don't be mad at me, i'll massage your legs later, okay?." Odette showed her teeth with a bright smile.
The Butler-Maiden rolled her eyes, sighed, and became serious. Her attention focused completely on the metalized, ice-frosted wasp appearing near Cailly's shoulder.
{A Summon?. She must hold her Brother in high esteem to react so brashly. Good to know}
Giassmennia and Vallad'Yanna exited a contiguous door. "Is there a problem, Miss Cyannûss?."
"No, Instructor Valkysh," Cailly dissipated her Summon with a chilling blizzard.
The hallway got covered with a thin layer of frost.
Maidens and Ladies defended themselves with their Nimbar; An ethereal light brown revetment around their silhouettes.
Only Giassmennia, Naylyn, and Vurckair remained unaffected, their Halos isolated them from the cold wind.
The Tomboy doesn't enjoy such luxury.
Pain intensified from her frostbitten skin; What left her in the verge of tears.
"You are a brute!." Odette screamed, and Balalaika gestured an order.
Almendra Insta-casted a Node above the Tomboy's orange hair; Green light melted the frost, and provided a minor aid to heal the damaged skin.
Vallad'Yanna sighed, and allowed the entry to the conference room. Where Giassmennia started the meeting. "Thank you for agreeing to my petition, Instructor Valkysh. I know you have a busy schedule–"
"Miss Gydllurn." Vallad'Yanna sighed with her hand signaling a halt. "This is part of my job. Coordinator Phrangnerth somehow learned about what happened; And she–"
"«She loves to set the world on fire and then watch how it burns»." Odette remarked, which made Vallad'Yanna sigh once again.
"Correct, Miss Mussers."
"What exactly happened?." Interjected Naylyn, puzzling Giassmennia.
"Didn't this Vecturion told you?!."
"I don't understand what you're talking about, Gydllurn. I came to meet those i'm being compared to, and after seeing you two; «People must be blind and retarded»."
Cailly retorted. "The Grade of a Singularity doesn't determine a person's value."
"Funny. Isn't it." Vurckair mocked. "It seems you understand now."
Vallad'Yanna raised her voice. "Don't argue; I'm already swamped with work, and it's going to get even worse."
Giassmennia blinked. "What does that mean, Instructor Valkysh?."
"As i was saying; Coordinator Phrangnerth grouped us into her Squadron–"
"What!." Everyone exclaimed hurriedly, except for Vurckair. Who has no idea what it's going on.
{I thought this was related to the bet. Why is everyone so panicked?. Even Almendra and the Butler-Maiden are visbly startled, and altered}
"All of us will–"
Cailly stamped her hand on the desk. "This is unprecedented!. None of us are Squatsis, Escortis, or Sophomores!. There is no way the Headmaster–"
"BE SILENT!." Vallad'Yanna demanded, her voice aggressive, yet afraid; She is the less enthusiastic about the outcome. But it's clear her hands are tied.
"Coordinator Phrangnerth spoke with Deputy Director Blanchard, and Headmaster Aldevor. Both gave their authorization. It's a fact. If you don't believe me; Confirm it with your Families."
'She knows!.' Naylyn muttered softly. "My Mother–"
Vallad'Yanna shaked her head. "They didn't told me everything. But i did some research. In your case, it was Captain Nephron who gave the permission."
"My Father!." Naylyn felt lightheaded, and leaned onto Vurckair.
Captain Nephron is well known for protecting all his children, even those who don't come from privileged backgrounds, due to his extended list of affairs.
"I'm surprised too, Miss Nephron. I expected your father to object, not to support the decision. We'll depart at 27:30 sharp. Don't be late. The punishments imparted by Coordinator Phrangnerth are… Excessive–"
"Is that so, Instructor Vallad'Yanna?…"
