28 Lepidoptera Academy (2/2)

After both girls were finally on top of the beast, Arnin began to clap his hands

”Vilis, get up now. Let's go.” Arnin didn't care much about the two girls' reaction. He just needed to make sure that they didn't act like they were adults and were not under lots of pressure. That would be detrimental to their future cultivation. Facing their fears and acting like children would be a benefit to them.

When Vilis suddenly got up and began to walk, Elidia's and Lilise's eyes were already puffy and red. Although, tears didn't fall out, but they were extremely scared. However, as Vilis slowly moved and they didn't feel his threat,so slowly their little hearts calmed.

”Are you finally done screaming?” Arnin turned his head and mocked Elidia.

”Hmph, I wasn't screaming. You were just hearing things.” Elidia crossed here arms and was about to turn her head, however out of fear of falling off, she grabbed out to Vilis' fur. She then let go just as quick, thinking that if grabbed too hard, the beast might eat her. Arnin noticed all of this and couldn't help but shake his head.

”Elidia, you can grab his fur. Vilis won't hurt you.” Arnin slowly explained to Elidia, as if he was trying to explain that threat level of a ladybug to a baby. Seeing that Elidia was still somewhat hesitant, he walked closer to Vilis and grabbed a handful of fur. Seeing that there was no reaction from Vilis, Elidia blinked with a gaping mouth.

”Now, both of you try.” Arnin spoke with dull eyes. Elidia and Lilise nodded their heads and grabbed onto a handful of fur. Seeing that Vilis still made no reaction, their eyes brightened. Wide smiles appeared on their little faces, making them look like children.

”We are finally here!” While the girls were in their own worlds, they had already reached the academy's front gate. As the group reached the gate, Arnin decided that it would be a smart idea if he put his robe on. Although he could mess with the teachers like the way he did with Gil, he didn't want to waste anymore time. When they finally arrived, they found that a teacher was signing people in and handing them robes and identity cards. The three got into the line and waited until it was their turn.

---------------------------------------------------

An hour passed and it was almost their turn. The girls stayed on Vilis the whole time, which Arnin didn't mind.

”Next.” The teacher called for the next set of people. Vilis walked forward with the two girls. The teacher looked up and surprised to see a beast. He then frowned slightly. ”Were you unable to walk up the hill? How are you going to be cultivators if you can't even do that?” The teacher didn't ask with any mockery or scorn. He asked a simple question, however it still made the girl feel embarrassed.

”Teacher, whether we walk up the hill or not shouldn't be of your concern, right? So why are you asking such questions?” Arnin didn't speak disrespectfully to the teacher in any way. Arnin found that the teacher did make a fine point, so there really wasn't a reason to cause a problem.

”And you are?” The teacher looked at Arnin with some surprise. He was shocked to find that he was questioned on the first day. He didn't feel irritated, rather he felt more shocked and surprised.

”Teacher , my name is Arnin and I am a part of the Moth group and Mark Master's class.” Arnin didn't hide his academic identity. He wanted to get through the process as quickly as possible, so exposing his identity would help speed that up.

”So you are a Moth student! I didn't notice the robe. Well, yes, it isn't something that I need to ask, but a student should be able to walk up themselves. If they can't, then they are honestly not fit to cultivate.” The teacher was more courteous when he spoke, however he still answered without hesitation.

”I see where you are coming from, but who's to say that they are not able to walk up the hill themselves? People have different reasons for their actions, and you can't judge based on what you see.” Arnin spoke like a scholar, which surprised the teacher greatly. He couldn't believe that such words were coming out of a child's mouth.

”The Moth group is truly different from the rest. Here, let me take back my comment, I should not have asked before knowing the truth. Let's move onto the robe and identity hand out.” Arnin was surprised and glad that the teacher was not some petty person that would argue with a child. He was happy to see at least someone that would accept the truth without getting angry.

”The names are Elidia and Lilise. They were assigned through the quota method.” Arnin told the names that should be in the list.

”Hmmm… alright, found them. So, you two will be in the Green Butterfly class. These colors don't mean anything, they are just a way to divide the classes.” The teacher gave the two girls their robes and identity cards. Arnin nodded his head and walked past him.

”Thank you for your help, teacher. Maybe we will see each other in the academy.” Arnin smiled before crossing through the gate and stepping into the academy building.

He finally made it to Lepidoptera Academy.
