Chapter 2: My New Life Starts Here!

Mari is panicking due to Kiyan being unconscious on the table.

"HEY MR.KIYAN WAKE UP!!!" Mari said with a uneasy tone.

' What should I do? Maybe I should try calling Her to come over '

*Beep beep beeeep*

After sometime there's a loud footsteps outside the door. Then someone entered the coffee shop. She's a beautiful lady she has long black hair with highlights of purple and her eyes are like amethyst.

"MARIIIIII!!!!"

"You finally arrive! What to do here? He collapsed"

"Who's that man? How did he..."

"I know! But what should we do to him?"

"You need to calm down, I think your 'Friend' here is fine"

*Hmmhmm... *

"I'm still alive? Hello Ms. Mari"

*Sobs* "I thought you were dead!"

"Why are you overreacting? I just collapsed because of embarrassment earlier..."

"What's your name? " Said by the Woman who just entered the café.

"Your friend Mari?"

Mari nods at him and Kiyan looked at the woman.

"I am Kiyan, Kiyan Feit"

"Let me go straight to the point. How did you enter the café? "

" I opened the door? Why?" Kiyan said with a confused look on his face.

"Who told you about this place?" The woman said with skeptical tone.

"I'm asking for directions and a woman from earlier told me that if I go far right from the train station I'll saw a café and that's where I can find lily street"

'...' The woman becomes silent for a moment. She seems lost in thought.

Mari's expression changed and she laugh again. Mari smirked as she turned her face to the woman.

"Oh yeah right! Claire, remember that fake ad you made as a joke?"

'so her name is Claire...'

Claire raised an eyebrow. "Yeah? Why?"

Mari pointed at me, barely stifling her laughter.

"This guy thought it was real."

"Oh Really? You're joking right?"

"No ma'am, I definitely fell for it"

'You're so stupid Kiyan you already know something is wrong about that ad and proceeds anyway'

" Where did you saw that ad Kiyan?"

" I'm browsing on my phone for a place to live because I was planning to move here at Estelle City and then I saw your ad. "

"Basically, you came here to rent a room on my residence because you thought it was a apartment, am I correct?"

" Yes, because the ad indicates that it is an 'Apartment for Rent' "

Claire sighs feeling uneasy. "It's fine you can live at my place. Since I'm the one who caused this"

" You're not joking Miss?!"

"My my, what a rare sight, Claire is acting so matured now " *OwO*

"Shut up Mari! Yes, you can stay at my place but I can only give you a room are you okay with that, Kiyan?"

" Yes, I'm okay with that"

"I'm Claire Flauren. You can call me Claire. "

"Don't forget about me! I'm Mari Gold" *she laughed playfully*

'how iconic'

"Why aren't you surprised Kiyan?!?!" *Pouts*

"Mari Gold... Like the flower?"

"Beautiful right?!?!"

"Just don't mind her she's like that everytime."

"Anyways let's go Kiyan, We're leaving Mari"

"Bye Ms. Mari, thanks for everything "

"No problem Kiyan, nice to meet you, Have a safe trip~" *waving her hand*

*Cling cling*

Me and Claire left the café, as we walk together there's a akward silence between us.

'Uhm'

"Let's wait till we get to the house to talk"

"Okay..."

(Few minutes later)

There's a big modern looking house in front of Kiyan.

"We're here, let's go inside"

'This house is pretty big '

"Okay, by the way do you live alone Claire?"

"Hmm? Yeah why?"

"Nothing, I just thought that this house is big for a single person"

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

The both of them entered the house. When they're on the living room, Claire sat on a chair.

"Alright Kiyan, sit on that chair and answer my questions with honesty. If you dare to lie I will kick you out of the house. Understood?"

'I have a bad feeling about this'

"Okay, what's your questions?"

"So, Why'd you plan to move here?"

"I want to study on a university here at Estelle City"

"Oh? if you were planning to study on a university then why did you fell for my stupid ad?"

'I know this is coming, I'll just say it looked nice so I got interested, that sounds good'

"Because it is near on the university that I want to go also free utility bills so I can save some money."

'I didn't said that! But it's actually the truth though'

"HAHAHA dummy, that's smart of you and stupid at the same time. "

"Alright", Claire said with a shrug.

"You can stay here. I'll handle the bills, but in return you're on chore duty. If that doesn’t work for you, the door’s right there."

Her bluntness caught me off guard, but I nodded quickly.

"I’ll do it. Thank you for letting me stay."

"It's a deal, then. your room is on the 2nd floor, the last door on your right. Here's your room key" Claire tossed a key to me.

"Uhm Claire?"

"Yeah?"

"What did you do to me earlier?"

"You tried to lie? Too bad— I only see truths"

'what does that mean? It's not important right now. At least I manage to get a home'

"... I'm going to my room now Claire."

"Make yourself at home"

So many rooms, It almost looked like a legitimate apartment for me. My room is on last door on my right...

"There it is"

*Click click, creeeeeakkkk*

This room is pretty cozy. I'll start unpacking my things tomorrow. I'm tired both physically and mentally.

"Haaaah, The bed is very soft and comfy too"

' I need to get some rest, better if I'd take a nap.'

Meanwhile on downstairs, Claire's in the kitchen.

'What I've done? I mean it's okay to have a company but why a potential student on the school I'm working.'

[Claire Flauren a 'teacher' at Astralliz University, she is 28 years old]

'I guess I'm not alone here anymore, that makes me somewhat happy' *smiles*

(Few hours later, 7:30pm)

*Knock Knock, Knock Knock*

‘ Why there's no one answering me? Is he dead? ’

" Oi Kiyan are you alive? It's Dinner Time, if you don't answer I'll enter "

'seems like he's sleeping'

Claire entered Kiyan's room.

*Creeeak, thug*

' He's indeed sleeping, I knocked so many times and he's still sleeping. He sleep like a log.'

Claire tapped Kiyan's shoulder.

"Wake up Kiyan"

"Hmmm..." Kiyan opened his eyes...

"Claire? What are you doing here?"

"What do you think? Waking you up, obviously. Dinner is ready come downstairs when you are ready, I'll be waiting there. "

"Okay"

*Click, thug*

*Yawn* 'What time is it now? '

I checked the time through my phone .

'7:33pm huh. Claire is waiting I should prepare myself.'

Kiyan stand up and go to the mirror on the table.

"It's been a while since the last time I saw myself on the mirror."

Kiyan stared on his reflection in the mirror. The reflection shows a image of him with a messy white hair.

"Even how hard I try to fix my hair it goes back on being messy. I'd better go downstairs"

Claire is sitting on a chair holding her phone.

"I did the chores for today. Have a seat"

"Thanks Claire." Kiyan said with a smile.

The foods on the table are so tempting to eyes and it's mouthwatering.

"We're having a feast! Did you make this all by yourself?"

"Who else?, I made a lot for tonight. Consider this as your welcome party"

"Party? sounds good!"

"Don't mentioned it. You said you were enrolled a university nearby right? Would you mind telling me the name of the university."

"Ah yes, the name of the university is Astralliz University. Why you ask?"

*slurps the ramen*

'So he is a potential student of mine...'

"You see, I'm working in there. I am a teacher at Astralliz University."

" Acckk!!! Pardon? Can you repeat that?" Kiyan is shocked on what Claire said.

"You heard it right there's no need to repeat it."

"I'm surprised that you're a teacher. Can you tell me what does the University look like?"

"I'm too lazy to explain. Where's the fun if I'll spoil you about the details? Go see it for yourself. Tomorrow is the first day of the classes be sure you're ready."

"Yeah, you're right"

Campus life huh... My new life is just began, I'm looking forward for tomorrow.

"Thanks for the meal" said the both of them.

"I'll take care of the dishes Claire"

Kiyan stand up to clean the table and wash the dishes.

"Hey Kiyan, when we meet at the campus don't just call me "Claire" out of blue, okay?"

"Okay, uhm by the way what subject do you teach?"

"I don't teach. I'm just a Adviser you can always meet me at the student council office"

"I see, I'm done here I'll go back to my room. Goodnight Claire"

"Goodnight "

I wonder what kind of classmates I'll meet tomorrow. Time to go to bed early tonight.

Meanwhile at Claire's room. She seems like talking to someone.

*beep beep*

"Any Disturbances on the surroundings Mari?"

"It seems pretty normal to me, I can't sense any magic beast around the town tonight."

"That's good to hear, hey Mari is it me or you sensed it too? I tried to use a Truth Revealing magic on Kiyan and seems like he have sensed it."

"Why would I call you at my shop over nothing? The fact that he entered my shop so casually earlier made me left in shock"

Mari's Coffee Shop is not your ordinary café. It is surrounded by a magic barrier that Mari created so any abomination of mana can't enter the barrier or hurt anyone inside the parameter. Only Mari,Claire and others can only enter the shop.

"He is quite something... maybe he can wield a REGALIA? What do you think Mari?"

"That's possible but if so– we need to assist him after that he can help clearing on missions"

"Let's continue this talk tomorrow Mari, Goodnight "

"Goodnightyy Claire~"

*Beeep *

'Kiyan Feit, Who are you? I should sleep for today.'

(Next Morning 6:30am)

*Yawn*

That's some goodnight sleep, I should ask Claire about on what time does the opening ceremony starts.

Where's her room again? If I remember correctly her room is on downstairs.

*Knocks* "Claire?" no response.

"Yes Kiyan? Need something?"

"AHH!! You scared me why did you sneak up on me like that?! " Kiyan exclaimed.

"Anyways what time will the opening ceremony starts?"

"Ahh yes about that, you need to be on the auditorium before 8:30am the program will start at 9am."

"If you need something talk to me at the campus, I'll leave early than you so lock the house when you left."

"Okay, understood "

"I'll be going now, see you later"

"See yah"

Claire left the house.

' I need to get ready too. ' Kiyan goes to the bathroom.

*Haaahhh... *

"The water is so refreshing it's so warm."

'This is it, Don't do anything stupid on your first day Kiyan. You got this.'

*Splash Swiish–*

That's some nice bath. What should I wear... I still don't have the university uniform so maybe I'll wear my old uniform.

Kiyan goes back to his room to get dress.

"Where is it? I'm pretty sure I put it on my ba– there it is!"

Kiyan wore a white polo with a black necktie. He look in front of the mirror and fix his attire.

I'm ready, time to head out. It's been a while since I last wear this uniform.

"I'll be going now"

Kiyan shuts the door of his room and goes outside the house.

' How's this lock work? Weird lock. I think this should do the trick' *Click click* 'and done'

Where's the location of the university again? If I head to the north of Lily Street I'll reach the shopping district right? Then If I go straight to left I'll get into the campus' area. Time to get moving.

' I didn't expect that the Estelle City is so quiet and beautiful, it's so peaceful here.'

Kiyan is talking to himself. There's a lot of students walking on the streets.

'My school life starts here'

Kiyan arrived at the entrance of the Astralliz University. The building ahead is huge, it has 5 floors and a rooftop it almost looked like a mansion

"Wow the Astralliz University is so big!"

"I know I can find you here" said by a Woman's voice

"Oh Hello Claire"

Claire raises an eyebrow "You're forgetting something"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Claire"

"Sounds good, I'll take you to the auditorium that's where the opening ceremony will be held"

"Thanks Ms. Claire"

Claire and Kiyan walks inside the campus. Astralliz University is one of the biggest universities on Estelle City. Astralliz University is known for its high quality standard of education.

They arrived at the auditorium's doors.

"This is the auditorium Kiyan, most of the school events are held here"

'The auditorium is so big... It feels like I'm watching a theatre'

"Thanks for the tour Ms. Claire"

"No problem, I'll be going now, The ceremony will start soon, find a seat. "

Kiyan sat on middle isle of the auditorium. After some time a pretty girl with a pink hair with blue eyes sat beside of Kiyan.

"Mind if I sit here?"

"I don't mind " Kiyan replied to the girl.

"Are you a transfer student? Your uniform is different"

"My name is Roselle Slywiltz, you can call me Rose for short. What's your name?"

'Seems like I've met her before...'

"I'm Kiyan Feit, Nice to meet you Rose "

"Nice to meet you too Kiyan. Oh the opening ceremony is starting "

Speaker: "Attention all students, please be seated as our Principal will now deliver his speech. Please welcome the principal of Astralliz University Principal Carter Evans Von'Cloude"
