14 Goodbye Aseid (1/2)
”Seriously? How old are you actually?”
”17.”
”Why do all girls in Esperia look so young?!”, Sun murmured.
”You should get everything set now. The trip will exhaust you. Trust me, I have experience ...”, Rose said.
”Thank you for your concern. It's just one thing that I need to say goodbye to Will and Lady Minerva.”
”What are you talking about, Will is working in the capital. He comes here in summer to train the younger generation. Did not he talk to you about this?”
”Nope. I had no idea. But that sounds great. I'll be able to see you guys there as well.
By the way, what are you doing here in summer?”, Sun was wondering since students usually kept training in their school over summer.
”I'm here to help out my sister.”
”Your sister? Who's your sister.”
”Minvera.”
”...”
”Why did you not tell me about it?”, Sun found Rose a bit mysterious since the beginning. Now it's clear.
”Did I have to do so?”
”...”
”Anyways, I'm going to check on Will.”
Sun was ready to leave. However, he was held by Rose.
”Wait a second. William is currently reporting to my sister. I plan to visit her and bring her my results on the fragment testing, but I still need to evaluate other experiments. Since you're heading there, could you please take the results to Minerva?”
”Sure.”
”Here you are. Be careful, the minerals shatter easily. Handel them with care.”

Sun walked along the usual way to Minerva's office. Even though he was here for only two weeks, it felt more nostralgic than any of his childhood memories.
Both sides of the left and the right were those paintings again. The architecture as special as ever ...
He arrived in front of the office door.
As he touched to the doorknob, a stream of his first time visiting this place flashed through his brain.
”Come in.”, a cold woman voice sounded.
It felt like the first time. Sun could not determine the mood of the person behind the voice.
It was emotionless, yet refreshing... It was indescribable.
Sun carefully opened the door, not wanting to let the precious research material fall down.
”Minerva, I've come here to report, that I entered the Esperia Magic School. My rating was fairly great. It was all thanks to your guidance!”, Sun said with a serious face.
He searched the room and found Will sitting on a chair in the left. They briefly exchanged greetings by simple nodding.
”Great. I've been expecting this result since you're my student.
How's it going with your Class cultivation?”
”Beginner 2, striking Beginner 3”
”Great.”
”Uhm, by the way. Rose asked me to bring you the results of her research.”
Sun walked towards her desk and laid the minerals along with their description down.
”Thank you. I hope that Rose didn't cause you too much trouble with that task.”
”No, it's okay. I'm glad I could help her a bit.”
”Oh? You two seem pretty close.”, Minerva raised her eyebrow.
