Chapter 54：Dormant state (2/2)

Yman could not believe that Ms. Pai would sell him to those people.

”It's not what you think, please calm down Yman. Besides, we are inside the academy,” Ms. Pai tried to calm him down.

He bit his lips until it bled.

”Yman listen to me...” Ms. Pai approached him and slowly reached him. But he subconsciously stepped back with an afraid look on his face.

”Yman looks at me, Listen to me!” Miss Pai forced him to look at her.

He stared at her eyes and noticed that they were the same eyes from that day when she helped him escape from that hell-like place. And what she just said was sensible. That they are inside the academy.

However, he could not get rid of the feeling that started to creep out once again from within.

”L-Look, I'm sorry for not telling you ahead of time. I - l thought, you've already gotten rid of your trauma from that place,” She added in her trembling voice as she slowly embraced him.

Yman was standing still. Letting himself be embraced. He could even feel her slightly trembling body, and her breasts poking on his chest. Yet, for him, she was like an older sister to him and Yana. A moment of silence before he finally let a sigh escaped from his mouth, after he calmed down himself he said to her, ”Sorry, for my sudden outburst,” Yman whispered his sorry shyly.

”Ahem!” When would the two of you stop flirting in my lab?

”!!”

”?”

The two of them got startled, by a sudden question from someone. Ms. Pai immediately released him.

Yman glanced ahead and noticed the woman who was sitting on the swivel chair just a moment ago.

Now she was standing in cross-arms while leaning her shoulder on the door of the room that was separated by a glass window.

”W-W-What do you mean flirting, Elona?!” Ms. Pai stammered her voice.

Yman was stunned. This was the first time he saw her like this. He always saw her as stoic, calm, dignified, and a woman of good virtue. But right now she looks awkward, but he finds it cute though. Very different from her usual self.

Miss Pai immediately introduces the two of them.

Yman learned that Ms. Elona was Ms. Pai's cousin. And they even had the same last name. Looks like their fathers were brothers.

The two of them are both physicists. But Ms. Pai quit after he helped him escape that time. And now she works as an adviser at this academy.

”So this is the kid that you are very interested in, huh,” Elona said while walking in a circle around him, like sizing-up him. Yman was standing stiff.

”W-What do you mean interested, Elona? Yman is just my student.” Ms. Pai said with a red face. ”In any case, stop walking in circles around him and do your work!” Ms. Pai roared.

Elona was older than her for 1 year. But the two of them were as close as real sisters. ”Ehehe,” Elona snickered at Ms. Pai's reaction.

”What's the rush, Pai. Although this kid was not so handsome, he's not ugly as well. He's thin yet cute. But don't worry I won't steal him from you, ehehe.” Elona cracked a joke and chuckled once again.

Yman noticed that Ms. Pai had become redder every passing second. He really didn't know why. His first impression of Ms. Elona was someone who likes teasing other people.

”Ms. Pai, what is the reason for me coming here?” He asked. Actually, he just wanted to change the topic.

”Ha?” Ms. Pai startled by his sudden question as she gawked. ”Ah, that, yeah, Uhm, erm... I mean... I asked Elona to help you and have an in-deep inspection of your Hollow Cell. Hah!” She said in a laggy voice and breathed a sigh at the end of her words while pressing her chest with her hand.

”In-deep inspection to my Hollow Cell...” Yman repeated.

A moment later, Yman was now laying on the steel bed, connected by some apparatus. He was nervous though. Since it was like this when he was being experimented in that facility. Four big chords were connected to the crown on his head towards the device that was seemingly an amplifier.

The steel bed was slightly bent upward like he was sitting on it. And beyond him, Ms. Elona and Ms. Pai were staring at the large monitor in front.

Suddenly, the monitor lightened up and a display that separated the monitor screen into two areas was being displayed on the monitor.

”Yman, what can you see inside the monitor?” Suddenly asked by Ms. Elona.

Yman narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth, ”On the left side, it is like a snake that is spiraling away from its hole. And on the right side... on the right side, why there's no movement on it?” Yman was puzzled on the right side of the monitor.

”Hehe, on the left side, that is the normal reaction of the Hollow Cell inside a magician while distributing mana to every part of the body. And on the right side —- that is your Hollow Cell... in a dormant state.” Explained by Elona.

”Dormant —- state?” Yman repeated with a frowned.
