Celesta showed up a while later, apparently searching for someone.
Having looked around she eventually found the group and approached them.
"Ahh, there you are. How was it, Nicolas?"
The older priest answered her.
"Well, I have a good and a bad message for you, as well as a odd one. Which, would you like to hear first?"
She pondered for a second and answered, "tell me the bad first."
"The bad is, that, the boy possesses a red talent." He said while looking at Yumeii.
What for real?," asked Celesta in a suppressed but clearly shocked voice.
"Unfortunately, yes," said the younger priest.
"Could you show me his page, William?"
"Sure."
With a hand motion of William a translucent blue window opened and one could see in between the black letters a distinct red portion which read:
"
After a slight pause, she asked, "and what's the good message?"
" The good message is that, the girl, in turn has a green talent named
While heaving a sigh of relief, she pressed for the odd message,"what about the odd one?"
"The pages of both of them opened instantly. This could only mean that they have already been opened once, probably by their parents," continued William
"How cruel, to throw your own children out, after just seeing the talents," she concluded.
"But that's not all, they also have a name. Here let me show you."
The page of Elise also showed up and the pages were brought together.
"Yumeii and Elise, so that are your names."
After a pause, "but what about the surnames?
"There were none, they have probably received their names before their first examination."
"So we don't even a clue who their parents might are," she said in a sunken voice while, looking at them.
"Sorry, for that."
"No, please don't apologise. There was nothing that you could have done." Said Celesta and waved her hands in front of William.
"Okay, thanks for your hard work, I'm leaving. Please bring the kids back, you know where, yes?." Saying that in a seemingly better mood she turned around and left.
Having seen Celesta off, they waited again for their colleague and after approximately an hour, he finally emerged out of his room carrying the other boy in his arms, joining them.
After the both priests confirmed the colour from the boys talent, did they also told him what happened at their side of the examination and started the discussion again.
Nicolas and William talked about, Yumeii's red talent, the green talent of Elise, about the incident were both pages opened instantly and how the two kids had a name.
The explanation of the events took a while and as the duo slowly came to an end, had one of them noticed how late it was.
Nicolas was the first who spoke up.
"Ok, the conclusion of this day is that we've got an uncommon green talent, a common blue talent and lastly the most surprising, even a extremely rare red talent.
We also found out about the names of Yumeii and Elise.
"What a day," added a tired William.
"Let's wrap this up and bring them back to their rooms"
After they were brought back and the priest dispersed.
Yumeii still pondered about the matter of today and as he was about to complain about his bad luck again, he suppressed the urge to do so and realized:
"What would it help now at this point. I can still become successful in life because of my knowledge of the modern world and my experience from my mental age. I should just leave them stunned when time to shine arrives!"
But there was still one thing on his mind.
"The name of the girl is Elise and the chance that she may be my sister is really high, I should interact with her more, in the future."
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
Hence, Yumeii made up his mind and plans and could rest in peace.
The time as infant passed by with nothing else really happening besides, the lectures of Celesta he heard now and then.
Yumeii became older, his body developed and he could speak more clearly. His muscles could now support his body to walk on two legs and he ultimately turned more independent.
Some years have passed, Yumeii and Elise were now at the age of five and the resemblance between the two started to show. Which has confirmed that, they were siblings.
Both had long platinum blonde, almost white hair, sky blue eyes, fair skin and bore almost the same height.
Yumeii's build was on the slim side while, Elise was petite and a little shorter than her brother.
They where also not living in their old chamber anymore but, another similar room with a wooden floor that was a bit larger. It contained small beds instead of cribs, equipped with dressers at the front. Inside where already other children that were a bit older or at their age.
They entered the first time with Celesta, after moving in the afternoon and got immediately surrounded and bombarded with questions by the kids:
"Hi, what's your name?"
"How old are you?"
"Are you siblings?
"What's your favourite colour? Mine is orange!"
"Do you want to be my friend?"
Overwhelmed with the situation, Yumeii and Elise didn't know how to react.
Fortunately, Celesta was with them.
"Alright! Please disperse and stop bothering the two, they have just arrived. You can question them later, one at a time. Do you all understand?"
"Yes!" Answered the kids.
"Nice one, Celesta," thought Yumeii and gave her an imaginary thumps up.
Elise also looked relieved and said to Yumeii, "good that we had Celesta with us."
"Yeah."
"Ok, Yumeii, Elise just make yourself comfortable. I've already made your beds and filled the dressers with suitable clothes. You can also use them to store you other belonging, but be obedient.
And when you change your clothes, please put your dirty laundry into the basket next to the door, Okay?" She instructed them.
"Okay," said both.
Elise wore a simple, white one piece dress, whilst Yumeii had a white shirt and brown shorts on, as it became warmer outside.
This land had four seasons, like in the temperate regions of earth.
That seem to also have similar lengths as well. The arrival of a season was determined by observation alone and didn't had a particular date when it began or ended.
Other climates also existed, dry and cold, or even tropical and humid with vast unexplored forests.
There was also, another known continent on the other side of the ocean that was recently discovered.
However, expeditions were almost impossible due to the difficulties of sailing across a sea, filled with unknown monsters and sudden weather change. Thus, explorations stagnated till a solution was found.
"Then, I will come back later." Informed, Celesta and strode to the door.
Barely, after she was out of sight, the children were approaching them again. This time without causing a ruckus.
"Sorry for just now, we must have startled you ." Said a boy that was probably the oldest and their leader.
"No, no, we don't mind it," said Yumeii.
Elise nodded.
"Let's become friends, my name is Eric." He said while holding his hand out.
"Sure, I'm Yumeii," and grasped his hand.
"And who are you?", he asked Elise.
"Elise."
A thing that Yumeii discovered relatively fast in the past was that, Elise usually spoke little or was quiet. Yet she did not seem shy or timid like Celesta.
"Errh, okay. Then, I won't bother you further, but, I think the other will."
With that said, the other kid swarmed at them again and inquired them with questions.
It started from their most liked seasons and ended with how fast they could run.
The children were satisfied and left them alone after they answered every question that they came up with.
The pair was now sitting on their beds, recovering from the assault.
"I'd never thought that answering so many people could be that tiring." Said Yumeii to Elise.
"Yeah."
"And what should we do now," he asked to extend the conversation.
"Don't know, didn't Celesta say that she would come again."
Coincidentally, she called for them the moment Elise finished her sentence.
"Yumeii, Elise could you please come with me?"
Both of them got up and followed her. They were escorted into an open room near their old chamber.
Peeking inside, they saw rows of tables and simple benches. At the back was again a tall window with a pair of shutters and on the tables where framed slates that resembled a small blackboard, that were probably for writing.
It was without doubt a classroom.
"Both of you are now five years old and I think that you should also participate when I teach. I just wanted to show you the room where I will hold my teachings," she explained while smiling at them.
"So what do you say?"
Not hesitating, the siblings answered with:
"Yes, please teach us!" Even Elise was excited which, surprised Yumeii a bit.
"Alright then, please join with everyone else, tomorrow after breakfast, understand?
"Yes, understood!" Agreed both together.
"Then, see you tomorrow. I still have some things to do, bye."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Enthusiastic about the next day, they left and walked back.
Elise took the initiative and questioned Yumeii.
"Yumeii isn't it nice that we also get to finally participate?"
"Sure it is!"
The reason why they were so happy about it was that, both already expressed their wish to attend Celesta's class, to one another.
"Let's ask the the older kids what Celesta is going to teach." Suggested Yumeii to Elise.
Arriving, they asked around and found out:
"Hmm, you want to know what Celesta is teaching?"
"She shows you how to write and read."
"That's true, she will also teach about you history."
"And numbers too!"
"Does she talk or teach about magic?" Elise wanted to know.
"Don't know, maybe try asking Eric, he's the oldest."
"What about me?"
"Do you know if Celesta teaches about magic."
"Well, she does sometimes talk about it."
"What about teaching?" Interrupted Elise.
"Not that I know of. But you could try asking her personally if, she would show you something."
"Yeah, we will do that. Thanks Eric." Said Yumeii.
"No, problem."
Overall, they found out that from tomorrow onwards, Celesta will also teach them about the basics of this world and perhaps magic if they get lucky.
Determined to learn more about magic, Yumeii and Elise decided to ask her personally about it and if possible let her show them how to use it.
The day ended and they were going to eat dinner together with the others in a communal hall for the first time.
The hall was quite big and contained several long tables and chairs.
Inside the children were already setting the tables and brought the food from the nearby kitchen.
A quick prayer when everything was finished made the meal accessible and the dining began.
After clearing the food, the kids had to help cleaning and proceeded afterwards to their bedrooms to rest.
Only Yumeii and Elise had a hard time falling asleep due to anticipation for their first lesson.
