Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Don't judge the book by its cover
The man greeted the cold face man with enthusiasm he was pleased by the visitation of the cold face man.
"Alexius my sweet baby!" as he got closer to him and kiss both of his cheeks. The cold face man felt a bit shy despite his cold act that he usually shows to everyone. But this person was an exception because he or should I say SHE is the person who raised him and cares for him since he lost his parents.
Now you might be disturbed and currently, confused by the situation he was actually a she. It might look quite different but she is a very gentle and kind maiden despite her flaws. She is an angel in which Alexius often describes in his heart. And of course, if she heard what he said she would be so happy and possibly she would throw a party for complimenting her.
"Ms. Venice I am here-"
"Oh! don't be so cold to me dear have a seat and take a chamomile tea." As she motions him to seat on the sofa while offering a hot tea on the table. As she has taken the opposite seat and settled in as Alexius takes a sip with the tea. Taking in the flavor of chamomile tasting the sweetness like honey. As Alexius enjoys the peaceful tea-drinking with his aunt. He has almost forgotten what he was here for distracted by his kind aunt he then straightens his suit and puts down the tea. His aunt noticed it and watch his lovely cute child in front of her, he then clears his throat.
"Aunt" as he looks into her eyes with full attention with a firm resolution of his decision. His aunt was waiting for him to continue what he was trying to say to her.
"I would like to attend the Academy."
This brought silence to a harmonious atmosphere in the room. It was almost suffocating because of its tense atmosphere as his aunt continues to watch him like a hawk. This continues for a few minutes that seem like centuries. Suddenly his aunt then sighs and puts down her teacup onto the table. Then look towards his eyes like she was looking towards his soul. It was like she was entering into his mind yet his eyes shown determination and a strong resolution in his decision.
"You know what it means to get in the Academy?"
He then grips his hand and then releases it but he already made his decision.
"I know Aunt."
His aunt watches him for a while then suddenly stands up and goes to her office table. She grabs something and comes back to where she sitting earlier and gave a box to Alexius. It looks very old like you typically seen in the medieval period, to store something precious. Alexius then took the box and tried to open the contents of the box. Yet it didn't open he then looks at his aunt seeking answers for his curiosity.
"You could only open it when the time is right Alexius."
Her words seem to be echoing throughout the room and Alexius realizes that something is up. Yet he couldn't pinpoint where it is but he knows this box, could have a connection with his future. He only tightens his grip on the box it seems he looks like he was trying to keep it away from being rob.
"I understand Aunt."
His words made it sound like he was carrying something precious and he really listen carefully to his aunt's warning. His aunt then smiles at him like she knew that he wouldn't betray her without a reason.
"I know the child and I support your decision, after all, I will always be your side even the world would turn its back to you."
As she fondly said those words at him with great affection like a mother and a child. That would comfort him even in his hard times and always there for everything. The both of them look to each other even without words they understood each other. Then he suddenly hugs her like a child searching for comfort. Of course, she accepted as she has always done this many times and tap his back to calm him.
"The world is very cruel Alexius now that you have grown up and left in my side you might get hurt." Her voice seems to be broken and she sniffs as she was holding back her tears. As she pats his head when she's nervous and afraid she always does this when things are not going well.
"Hm."
"I know that you are preparing for this day but I just-" as her tears fall in her face while hugging Alexius afraid he would vanish if she didn't hold him enough.
"Hm." as he pats her back to calm her.
"I-I I don't want to lose you too Alexius just like how I lose your mom." she cries even harder and made Alexius felt bad about making his decision but he needed to do it. He remembers his mom how she left him in the tree hole and never came back...alive.
Even so, he must do this the academy would be the beginning of his revenge. He will hunt his enemies one by one until they vanish from the face of this earth.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Did you get everything?" As Ms. Venice checks Alexius' suitcase in case he forgets something.
"Hm."
"Stop 'HM' me Alexius! did you have your toothbrush? your towel? what about your favorite rubber duck?"
"I'm not a kid anymore aunt," he grunted at his aunt and a bit embarrassed by reminding him about the rubber duck. It was a long time ago but he did bring the duck in his suitcase. Well, it might contradict to his image that he portrayed but he still likes his favorite rubber duck.
He just drags his suitcase and confronts his worried aunt. Her face was painted with worry and hug her she was already taller than him. He hugs his gentle aunt and did goodbyes to her as he walks towards the portal. He then suddenly turn around and wave at his aunt as a last farewell. His aunt also responds to his goodbye and he then turns back and walks towards the portal.
As he enters the portal it leads him to a train station where it was filled with other creatures. You could see some pixies talking, goblins, a person with characteristics of the beast, and other creatures. He looks to the station for his ride towards the academy which is from the B2 section. He then starts walking towards the B2 section, when he arrives at the section. He then notices a running person towards his location, it seems to be a running elf. He has a silver blond with forest jeweled eyes, his height is around 5'9 ft a bit short to his height which is 6'1 ft.
When he almost arrives at his location, he then suddenly trips and loses his balance. The direction of his fall was towards Alexius he thinks that Alexius would catch him. He thought. Yes, he thought that Alexius would be kind to catch him and when he almost falls towards Alexius. Unfortunately, Alexius evade by the last second of his fall which results in him falling flat with his nose to the ground.
Alexius then labels this person as 'clumsy' which seems rude, to this poor man who just fell flat onto the ground. The poor man then stands up and looks towards Alexius he glared at him for a second. Then arrange his dress and pats off the dust, this poor man looks again to Alexius wanting to rant at him. But before he could the train announcement came.
"B2 section passengers please get ready for your train has arrived in 1 minute."
"Hmph!"
That was all the elf man could do he wanted to ask why he didn't catch him before he could fall. But he knew that it was not his responsibility to catch him. Like as if they knew each other anyway but still he couldn't release his anger because of what happened. He felt like wanted to accuse him but at the same time, it was also his fault for being clumsy.
*Damn**t before I could argue I already lost to someone damn**t it still hurts a bit of my pride---grrr. Never mind he is lucky that the announcement came in if not then he would really taste my wrath hmph!!!
And this was the first meeting of the two people that soon would become life comrades.
