11 To Enter the Academy 2 10 (2/2)
Tiptoeing as she got near to his bed, the little girl poked his left cheek numerous times. ”... I am breathing still, you know?” was Eddra's comment.
”Oh... That's good news...” She brought a hand on her chest and slowly blew through her mouth. ”I am sorry for disturbing your rest, Mister. My hen has a habit of storming in this room every day,” she continued, grabbing the annoying rooster on her arms.
”That is not a hen, Little lady. That is a rooster.”
”No. This is a hen,” she insisted, ”I know this might be unbeliebabel--”
”Unbelievable,” Eddra repeated the word correctly.
”-- Yes, that word-- but she lays eggs.”
”Uhm... That is obviously a rooster.”
”No, no.” She waved a hand with her eyebrows together. ”Oh look, Mister. You are lucky! It's laying!” she cheered, facing the rooster's bum in front of his face.
Soon enough, five minutes passed, the bum of the bird opened and gradually pushed out a golden egg on top of his face. ”That egg is proof that this is certainly a hen, Mister.”
Eddra held the egg on his hand and surveyed it. When the sunlight from the window in his room met the golden egg, it shone and blinded his eyes. Sitting straight up on his bed, he instinctively threw the egg on the wall. However, instead of breaking like it was to the ordinary eggs, it bounced back and produced a powerful thump, causing a quite big crack on the spot where Eddra threw it.
Blinking to what he had witnessed, Eddra looked at the little girl again. ”Unbeliebablu!” she joyed out, raising her hands on the air, throwing her rooster pet.
...
Washing his face from the given basin contained with water from the innkeeper, Eddra prepared himself for another long travel. Cleaning himself was quick, however, the coachman wasted 20 minutes of his duration time.

'What is he doing?' Eddra started to get irritated while he was waiting on his bed for the coachman to call him over.
Gathering his annoyance, Eddra had chosen to went downstairs to search for him. When he set foot on the lobby, Eddra expected for at least a person present, however, he had seen not a single soul.
And soon later, the anxiety made its way in him, slowly creeping as Eddra stormed outside to check for a living.
”Where is the keeper...?” Eddra audibly asked himself when silence greeted him after pushing the exit door open. Scanning the streets without seeing a single person and the lobby back and forth, Eddra felt his heartbeat racing unmeasurably. Blinking, Eddra stared again at the lobby.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Din... Di... D...
[WARNING!]
Numbers of plates showed themselves continuously one after the other, all contained the same word, floating before his eyes. And before Eddra knew it, the numerous plates had already blocked his view, making him unable to see anything. Getting utterly confused and scared to what was happening, his breathing somehow turned abnormal, panting while he read every plate.
Ding!
His vision eyed the one plate centered and leading above all others.
[You have failed to complete the Side Quest (2/2) in time!
The System wishes you to reset. Do you want to reset? Yes / No]
”Wha--” Eddra reached a hand on something like a wall to lean on to when he felt his knees were losing its might-- ”What do you mean reset, you piece of shit? Of course, that is a [No]!” he growled.
[You have pressed 'Yes'. World rebooting... ]
”I did not, you shitty [System]! I was waiting for my death, you f--”
[World successfully rebooted. 'User' now resetting... ]
