[OP: ]
"Ahem. You can relax now. I'm convinced you two are perfectly fine. And it would be plain foolishness to harm important people like you two." The president was smiling with little drops of sweat on his forehead visible… splendid acting, for sure.
"Of course, we will calm down. But, shouldn't you tell San-San and the vice president to calm down first? It's too obvious they would do a little something if we reflex just yet.
And you president, of course, shouldn't also be that obvious with your intent to do a quick draw with your sword."
Eon looked at the hand that was still on the sheath of his sword and the president, after concluding there was nothing he could do in this situation, finally sat back down, and, after dispelling her many invisible magic circles all around the room, the vice president also calmed down and sat back down with a defeated sigh.
"Come San-San. We lost this time. We lost twice in a single fight actually."
"Ptsssssss… ptsss!"
The little snake that had instantly transported at the back side after his signal, vanished with a little light and came back to the table again, with an angry look of course.
"Pttttssssss…!"
He couldn't feel any kind of hostility from the two of them from the start so he was sure from the beginning that these two unique people were no threat to them.
ƥαṇdαs ηθνε|·ƈθm This little one was an Ocagi and his innate senses were some of the true greatest among the creatures roaming throughout this nature.
He knew they were good people, one of the best among a selfish, weak, and unfaithful race that he had ever seen actually.
There was no need to be on guard before them, and he still surprised him and announced an emergency of third highest priority against them!
"Ptsssss!"
He was having a strangely comfortable time in her hands, a unique comfort that he hadn't felt in the embrace of his papa. And then he surprised him with that announcement and the poor little him had to point his spells at them.
"Yes, yes. I know. I was in the wrong there. I accept it already. I'm sorry…" The president held him and genially touched his forehead with his.
It was an adorable sight and they would have loved to just watch it, but...
"Alright. So, can you please turn off the last defense system so that we can finally start with the tea? Ah, and you don't have to trouble yourself. Eon will treat you to his special tea on this good occasion." Rein offered with a smile and the two of them looked at her with a shocked expression, and then at the boy beside her that still had a serious calmness painted on his face.
"How the hell do you even know that?! The trap spells, I understand we couldn't notice because of the situation, your clone skill, well it's good, your familiars are special too so we were caught off guard but how the fuck do you know about the defense system of this room?!"
The vice president and a shocked expression. An absurdly shocked expression that even the president rarely ever saw her with.
"This marks the third and last defeat of the day then… to think after spending three years defeating every single opponent in this academy, I would lose on my last year by a new student. Haaaa… San-San. Looks like we can cross out the first tactical defeat."
The president sighed and stretched his back on his comfortable chair. He was defeated so, he can relax now too.
-Snap! Snap! … Snap!
So, he snapped twice, waited a moment, and snapped once again. And as he did that, a certain crystal ball in the room that was placed on the shelf as a decoration, blinked with a blue-red-green-blue light. Indicating the neutralization of emergency mode.
They were defeated in the true meaning now that even the last option of a surprise attack was gone. And they had lost in their own territory so the unfamiliar feeling of defeat they were feeling right now, was new to them.
"Ptsssssssssss~! "
But the little snake was happy. He was so happy that he was even dancing and singing with his hissing sound.
The defeat of his dada in any kind of match, competition, or fight was a joyous occasion for both of them as they had actually hardly ever faced it throughout their time on this island, this academy, this continent, or even this world.
They were almost undefeatable in this office filled with their own defense system and the internal defense system of this room. But, they were defeated. And this wasn't a bad defeat like the few they had faced and lamented over for hours, days, months, or years. This was a healthy defeat and his papa was just overjoyed to face a defeat of this kind.
"Ptssssss~!"
And if his dad was happy. He was also always happy!
But he had to note down this amazing moment so the little snake hurriedly summoned a unique diary that looked too attractive and magical, a feather pen that definitely held a feather from some holy bird, flipped the pages with his exceptional magic, and crossed something written in the diary, wrote a few things in a unique language, drew some funny and adorable emojis resembling all of them present there and presented the book and pen to his father…
And the president just signed at the bottom of the page with a smile and patted the little one.
"Ptssssss~!"
"Alright then~!" Rein also cheered up alongside the snake this time and called off the clones, erased the spells, took down the strange shadows, and dispelled all the traps she had set with her special skill.
And then she took up the little snake again and started playing with him with a delighted smile.
"So, President-"
"San-San! Can you show us your true form~? I really wanna see those cuteeeeee feathers."ραпdαs `nᴏνɐ| сom
Right, Rein and Eon were now in their true form and she looked far, far, far… far more gorgeous than a moment before. Her witchly charm was dangerous. And it was working wonders on the vice president if not on the president too.
But the one beside her was also not that far behind her as the way his gold-like hair shined in the current evening light of nature, and how his gem-like red eyes with long eyelashes blinked at the two of them with a happy calmness, would defiantly have been breathtaking for both of them if it was out of the blue.
But, they were in a state of combat when it happened so their breaths survived. Still, it was undeniable that he was handsome as hell. And undeniably a perfect match for her.
"Ptssssss… Ptsss?"
But the looks had nothing to do with the little snake so he just asked for permission from his dada. The permission to show them his true form that only their vice president and the headmasters of the academy had seen until now.
"They have already seen it long ago anyway so it's fine…" President was still thinking over what had just happened so he just gave his permission with a smile and returned to his thinking and analysis of their previous match.
But the vice president was staring at the two before her and was in deep thoughts of her own so they all left her there, and the little snake cheered joyfully after receiving permission from his guardian.
"Ptssssssss~!"
-Oooooooooooong!
He first started floating and then golden light same as his eyes covered his body.
A moment passed like that as they saw the visible changes happening to the body of the little snake inside that light.
"Ptssssssss~!"
But then the light vanished, and a winged snake-like creature, the Ocagi, the mythical creature that preferred living in solitude according to the lores, emerged from it like a legendary bird emerging above the clouds.
"Kyaaaaa~. Cute, cute, cute~!"
But to her eyes, it was nothing but cute. Actually, as once mentioned, it was just too adorable looking creature to consider a being feared by folks of countless villages in many hilly parts of the world.
"Ok, so, now that this is over…"
Eon smiled at the president that still looked to be lost in thoughts but, his smile brought him back and he focused on him.
"What did you use when she was in that bad state after that incident, sir president? I'm thinking she was with you at that time so you must have almost saved her life back then, right?"
His question reached his ears and his mind processed it too. But as soon as the understanding hit him, he was surprised once again at how sharp he was to figure out something like that without any information about them, the locations of theirs at that time, or anything related to them.
It was just too surprising for him, shocking truthfully, and he was now seeing this person that had fascinated him for a while in a new light too.
"Hahaha. Master Axion really is an amazing individual.
Well, you can say that I used a personal divine elixir that San-San and I produced with his skills and the knowledge of classical alchemy that I had from my homeland.
It is very difficult to make so I only have three of them now, but she's still not completely healed from what San-San says so it's really eye-opening to me just how bad the injuries to the soul are that even an elixir of that level couldn't cure."
He was smiling at him, but Eon was looking at him calmly with an interested but slightly serious gaze.
"Do you have one on you right now? Can I see it?" He asked with that same look and the president didn't understand why, but his heart just told him to show this person before him the thing that he had kept a secret from even his dear close friend.
"Haaa… here. But, it takes very precious ingredients and a very long time to make so I can't guarantee I would trade it with you even for hundreds of platinum."
Which meant he would sell it as long as the price was right and in the league that would soothe his greedy heart.
And Eon understood that perfectly as he looked at the shimmering golden ball-like pill placed before him.
"Wow… you used something like this for me Zod? Now that's generous of you man…"
All of them could tell just how precious this thing was just by looking at it with their special eyes. And Eon could tell it too, but he wanted to know more… so, he lifted his hand and placed it right above the pill, and closed his eyes.
Lucy already knew what to do at this moment so, without any delay, she activated her analysis ability and a white bird came out of his palm, went inside the golden medicine, and came back to him by the same path.
"Fascinating…"
And when he opened his eyes overflowing with awe and administration, he looked at not the person before him, the one that had created this, but the creature playing with Rein without whom, this amazing creation could never have been possible.
[ "You are amazing, San-San." ]
"Ptssss? …ptttsssssssssssss?!"
He was praising him, many had done that in the past so it shouldn't have been as surprising to him as it was right now, but, this was his first time hearing someone using the same 'language' as him, something he was hearing for the first time in his life, so it was just absurdly surprising to him… as well as the two unique people sitting before them.
