Karla accompanied her lover to their destination.
It was night time and she had learned earlier from one of the drones who warned them that there was a curfew from ten pm till sunrise where students weren't allowed to roam outside in the premises of student quarters or other places. If they did then their points would be deducted automatically per second.
Both of them had to be quick on their motives then.
After reaching the place she pressed the intercom of the apartment room after showing her id to the scanner. A few moments later the door opened and her big sister Clara appeared.
She quickly hugged her and her sister responded similarly. After hugging each other for half a minute she invited them inside the room as her lover introduced himself,
"Miss Clara, it is very nice to meet you."
"We finally met."
Her sister responded as she took a good look at him.
°°°°
Blue shook her hand as he introduced himself. He looked at her and couldn't help but think inwardly that Laura's daughters had almost all of her genes in their body.
Clara looked the exact same as her mother would if she were at her age but her height was on the taller side. She had also got the plumb hourglass figure from Laura. Only differences were her eyes being purple in color and her hairstyle a bit different from Karla's ponytail and Laura's casual style as it was braided.
He had many plans targeting her. As the daughter of Blessed Womb physique she naturally had secrets waiting to be uncovered by him. Since he was already unloading on her sister then he would make use of Karla's love for him to further his plans on Clara.
That being said, some problems needed to be solved first.
"Miss Clara, both of us have prepared a very big surprise for you."
"Just call me Clara from now on. We are family after all. Now I am very curious about what surprise you two prepared."
"Karla, could you take her to a different room with you? I need to prepare something. Oh, don't tell her about the surprise yet, alright? Not a single clue."
"Sure. Hehe, you're bound for a big surprise, big sis."
She then took a very curious Clara away to the living room and kept refusing her probing to reveal any word of it.
He couldn't help but heave a tired sigh. He took out an item from his subspace and with that item he confirmed that there were no hidden surveillances here just like in his cloud house so he decided to get to work. Even if there was surveillance then any potential investigator who saw the footage would have thought he accessed his inventory just now because at his current state having a subspace was ridiculous.
Now he needed to fix her five weaknesses as she was a very important figure for his future plans lest the sixth weakness of the hostage situation befell him.
Before he could even do that the slave collar called Status Window skill needed to be fixed. He had Karla's matter figured out but Clara had been in the academy for the third year now. It wouldn't be wrong to say that the mastermind at Core Area had gotten all of her information during that time.
Whether it be her class skills proficiency, aether attribute comprehension details, main weapon mastery, any hidden innate ability and more it was all on their hand now.
"Now I can only salvage whatever I can from here on."
He thought out loud as he took out a syringe, a vial and a piece of cloth from his subspace before putting it all in a paper bag he casually tossed in the inventory before. At this moment given the current situation he could only fix the fifth weakness of four elemental methods before he let her see Laura.

The Status Window skill's true danger needed to be neutralized along with the contract parchment from the academy.
He went to the living room and said,
"Karla, come here. Blindfold her so I can bring out the gift."
He gave Karla the piece of cloth to blindfold her to which she showed a puzzled expression but obeyed nonetheless. Clara raised an eyebrow at their secrecy but didn't think much of it as she let her blindfold her.
"Now it will feel a bit weird but please don't be surprised."
"Uh, okay?"
She replied in an unsure manner. Karla saw him bringing out a syringe and a vial from the paper bag. She couldn't understand the need for it but her trust in him made her not to question his intentions.
He took Clara's arm and injected the syringe which made her jolt for a second but she didn't mind it much. The piece of cloth used to blindfold her had dulled her senses temporarily thus letting him do his work without being questioned about this and that.
He then drew in her blood and collected it in the vial before he wiped the traces away while her high leveled player body healed instantly. He put it all away in the paper bag as he told Karla to wait here for a minute. He was actually surprised that Karla remained quiet throughout the process and only stared at him strangely.
"I will talk about this later."
He told her that to curb her curiosity as he went out of the living room and made sure there were no eyes following him before he took out the Primordial Auditor and used that blood in vial to write an account for her.
He gave the account the same services as her family and then used his account to finally modify the foreign aether effects on her soul thus solving the fifth weakness.
The Status Window skill was such that it took a different approach from other four elemental methods as it gave the players the knowledge to be able to use it and in exchange for that knowledge it took some things from the player in the form of an exchange. Of course, the players were unaware of such an agreement being signed unknowingly when they tore the scroll.
The things taken from the players were more than a measly Status Window skill could ever compensate for as it could even force the player to kill themselves by placing certain conditions in the form of compulsory quest or any quest for that matter.
Only an abomination was able to permanently affect someone's soul but for others they needed to take the route of conditional contracts or temporary contracts to want to affect the soul in a long term manner.
The Status Window skill was a conditional contract that was hidden away from others knowledge and the contract parchment in the inventory when someone gained that skill was the temporary contract out in the open provided by the academy for a five year time limit.
The void words comprehension for six months was also a temporary contract route of aether. When the students used those tools back in the entrance test they unknowingly signed it as it also functioned to check for any signs of an abomination.
He then took Laura out of the [Clan Manor] menu and briefed her about the situation after they entered the academy. Just before he let her out he also took out another item from his subspace and activated it to prevent any potential spatial fluctuation that he didn't sense but the academy could have.
He had already put those things back inside when he brought Laura to the living room.
"This is the surprise gift we prepared for you."
He said to Clara after he took off the blindfold and put it away discreetly.
When she saw Laura standing in front of her with a gentle smile she thought for a second that she was hallucinating or maybe put under an illusion but when she was hugged by her mother all the doubts vanished as she also responded similarly.
"But how?"
She asked her and then looked at Karla before staring intently at him.
Karla then finally opened the dam of information she had been meaning to tell her for a very long time. Laura also chimed in from time to time. After she learned all the information she looked at him with a shocked expression.
"You have such a skill?"
"Well, Karla also has one."
"Sheesh! I know mister. But your skill is really broken. To think you fooled all the teachers and brought mom here. Can I see this Home skill?"
She eagerly asked him but he replied in a helpless tone,
"Unfortunately, I have forgotten to tell everyone a new rule I found out about this skill. Only two individuals except me could enter or exit it. The two slots have been occupied by Karla and Miss Laura permanently. But as long as I could increase this skill's proficiency in the future more slots will unlock. At that time I will let you inside it."
She felt a bit dejected for not being able to witness it but then she remembered many restrictions on "that" skill of her which was actually similar to Blue and Karla's so she replied,
"It's understandable. Such a good skill will naturally have many restrictions on it."
Just as she was thinking of revealing "that" skill of hers to the family Karla suddenly confessed,
"Sis, I need to tell you something. Actually… Blue and I are in a relationship."
"What!?"
She exclaimed in utter shock as she kept looking at the two of them back and forth.
