Chapter 50 The Burning Bird

-His heart rate is rising !

Someone shouted.A very bright light met my eyes i closed them because i was getting irritated.

-ugh where am i ?

I asked the people around me were astound for some reason was it because they thought i was dead and came back alive ?

My sight was very blurry for a second so i had to massage my eyes sweat was dropping down my nose and i could taste dirt in my mouth but over all i was okey.

-Why are you standing around !

Someone yelled it was a female voice i looked to my side and saw the face of the headmistress...

Where was i ? Did they carry me here the moment i fainted ? It seems like i was in the middle of something ?The room i was in was white but i could see a window there stood cecilia stella and...leraje ?

They also noticed me moving and started banging at the window stella's eyes were really red and tear stained even cecilia had red eyes as for leraje he didn't seem to have changed but i could see his muscles getting relieved he isn't someone who shows his emotions very often so i can understand.

I waved at them awkwardly which they all returned with a smile on their face.The doctor who was hovering a light ball above my head suddenly gasped and said

-Headmistress his...his conditions are back to normal there are no tears in his brain...but i could swear...

The others were evenly surprised because of my recovery...was it really that bad ? what if i have to explain it now ?i still remembered,remembered chronos and how i got back from the dead how i made a deal with him for my resurrection..

-...

I looked towards the headmistress she also looked at me i kept my face blank and asked her.

-Can i leave now ?

For me leaving was the only choice i didn't want these guys to further try and investigate me.She stared at me a bit confused and curiosity mixed in her gaze she said.

-yes you can leave..

-But headmistress this is....

She stared at the doctor who was standing next to her very sternly her made a whelping and took a step back choosing not to speak.She smiled again and turned to me.

-If you need anything ask me don't worry about it too much there is obviously no problem with you other then a bit of exhaustion.

I nodded to her and got up from the bed everyone else in the room was staring at me as if i was an alien but they didn't try to do anything probably because the headmistress was here who was protecting me.

-Let me escort you,your friends are probably very worried about you.

I nodded to the headmistress and just kept moving i could also feel something tugged in my breast pocket i was wondering where it got...the golden pocket watch.

=============================================

-uwaah ! brother !

As i exited the room the first thing that happened was stella jumping at my bosom i hugged her and told her it was okey...i already felt really guilty for making her scared like this but she would calm down eventually.

I looked to my front and saw a really agitated cecilia for some reason i wanted to say something but before i could say anything something unexpected happened.

-(hug)

Cecilia stepped forward and squeezed me hard she grabbed me from the neck to the back and i could also feel her bosom pressing on my chest leraje who was standing on the background leaning on a wall smiled at me and gave me a thumps up...you,you aren't even good with woman !

I wanted to retort him but noticed that cecilia was gripping me a bit too hard...

-Cecilia air....air....

-(sniff)

I could hear her sniff and in the next moment i could feel something wet hitting my shoulder it was seriously starting to soak...

-i am sorry(sniff)...i am really sorry (sniff)

-its oke...

As i was about to say that cecilia released her grip and looked at me her gaze held anger to it.

-NO its not its not okey i was an idiot !

I got a bit surprised by her and just stopped talking and stood at my position.

-ahem

The headmistress cleared her throat and cecilia seemed like she realized her position and quickly got away from me.

-Now now how about we all get to my office and talk this out for a bit.

-I don't think this is necessary since i am here alexis

I looked to my side and realized steward was here when did he get here ?Steward stood in his usual straight posture he still wore his butler outfit like always..

-I had news coming that there was a duel taking place here but when i heard the one who was fighting was not cecilia but her bodyguard i took haste into my own hands

He looked at me trying to see if its true i just nodded to him.When i did he looked at cecilia very stern with anger mixed in it she gulped when he did so and just avoided his gaze looking the other way.

-very well it seems like the duel had already come to an end why don't we let the children rest ? We could talk in your office if you like.

The headmistress made a sigh and just nodded at steward and told us to leave.Before we left steward told me something in private to the ear.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

-As i said previously as long as this has nothing to do with us then there doesn't needs to be words that have to be spoken but sometimes explanations are needed

He pointed at leraje who was leaning on a wall he looked at steward but didn't seem to mind the pointer.

-and another thing please escort the miss to her dorm also because of medical reasons i am freeing you from your duties for 2 days cecilia will be escorted by other individuals while your recovering.

I nodded to steward and silently thanked him as we left the infirmary through the magical gate.

===============================================

-ugh..

I really hate these magical gates...we were on our way towards cecilias dorm stella stayed quiet and just hugged me while we were walking.

Cecilia looked concerned by my expression and asked.

-Are you okey ?

I laughed a bit and said.

-Didn't you say it wasn't okey ?

She got bright red when i mentioned that and tried to franticly explain to me which made me even more laugh.

-You know what i meant !

I continued laughing even more and over all our conversation wasn't that awkward or forced but i could see she wanted to ask something and that something was walking behind us with his bright blonde hair and green eyes she probably already figured he was a demon.

I looked at her and noticed she would take couple glances at leraje.

-You wanna know ?

-huh ?

I pointed at leraje.

-His name is leraje he is like a...what should i say ? Lets say he works for me you may already know he is a demon but really a bad or a good one..wait are there even good ones ?

Over all it seems like she understood who he was and turned to him giving him a nod

-Miss...

Leraje at that made a proper bow but he didn't smile he never really smiled those were one of his problems he could make awkward smiles and amused smiles but never really smiled just because the heck of it i wonder why ?

-Did you...

-No i did not make a deal with him lets just say he has no other choice but to work for me.

She was surprised for a second and looked at leraje once again she didn't seem like she wanted to speak to him she was more like inspecting him like a alien creature were demons also rare ?

We were already getting near to cecilias dorm and the first thing i saw was the big gate with those numerous guards this sure was guarded pretty hard.

-You know i can understand you somewhat now

I blinked and looked at her for a second.

-How so ?

-You said it yourself you don't trust me that means you wouldn't tell your secrets to someone you won't

I laughed and said.

-Thank you captain obvious that was a perfect deduction

Cecilia looked displeased and said.

-what i am getting at is that there is enough time for you to trust me so i am confident you will someday have to tell me about yourself

I thought about it and asked.

-why are you so sure about it ?

It was a true question she was one of the most important people in the magical society it seemed if she knew that i came from the sky prison i am not sure what she would do with it.

-I am sure because i have another 6 years to wait for you to open up so i am not gonna bug you anymore i really don't need to because you will do it on your own.

I quite at that and regarded this little lady...would she able to make me open up in these 6 years ? It sure as hell took sera only 2 days...

-bye

She laughed and ran away towards her student while she did that i could hear a ticking sound in my breast pocket surprised i took it out and saw a golden pocket watch it was excluding a golden light and when i opened it the pointer which was once stuck was moving now with every tick tack sound a second would pass by the sound was almost hypnotic when i stared at it.

-ahh what is that!

Stella looked curiously at the golden pocket watch leraje was also watching he made a somewhat complicated face when he saw the pocket watch.

-This is a memento also a key should i say

-For what ?

Leraje asked his voice held uneasiness to it which i couldn't understand did he pick up something on the watch ? I looked at him and said.

-For unfinished business lets go

We turned towards the academy to the gate hall our walk was taken on leisure and we had small talk i also found out that stella would take her rank up test next month which she was quite excited about she didn't seem to realize that her black ring was gone which i was glad about.

Huh..what is that ? Something flew in the sky i stopped and turned my head to it but at the last moment i realized it already fly away it had a orange,red silhouette which was quite and for a minute i thought it was...

-A burning bird...

I muttered and continued to walk home.
