Chapter 816: Funny friends
[Eon's POV: ]
After parting ways with miss Faith, we first went to the place where the book of vivid stories had pulled Quin, Zoe and the rest in.
They were trapped in a historic horror drama filled with elements of horror that made half of them rely on their friends and partners that were enjoying that thing instead of being afraid of those dangerous things that were killing and sucking people, and were appearing out of nowhere.
'They weren't the characters but instead just spectators who could watch everything that was going on so, for those who like mystery like Alf, Bell, and captain Alpha, that place was more fun than anything else they have experienced in a while.
But they were mostly enjoying that thing, so we left them on their own after I told Zoe and others how they could get out of the place, and some of them immediately got out of that horrible place along with us.
Which was a fun sight as well.
'Then we all went to find our other friends who were actually facing the ghost creatures.'
The creatures that resemble candlelights were small playful ghost species that were pretty useful and domestic creatures that helped in preservation of things and kept the temperature of places cold without the help of any spells.
'This was the store room where Miss Faith had stored special books and some of them were sensitive to magic, so she had to place some necessary measures in place to deal with the books.'
She didn't go there often so she had placed those cute, smart, and pretty intelligent ones to guard the books.
'They were cute creatures that looked like a monster out of a horrific story, creatures that looked pretty unattractive but were actually pretty calm and cool with the guests that visited their territory.'
That was the first reason I knew Rein would love them, and the second reason was their relationship with darkness.
'They were dark and fire attributed creatures.'
That's why I knew that they would love the person that possessed the most darkness among us as well… and I was right.
The moment we reached that room and came across the creatures that were starting to get along with our friends, Tia and the others, all the ones that were present there ran towards her and gathered around her.
'She loved them, as I knew.'
And she found them genuinely pretty as she finds any other kind of unique looking creature.
"Are you sure this will work?"
"Pretty much."
"What do you mean pretty much?!"
They were reading the books stored in there and Miss Mia was having fun with the new kind of knowledge that was stored in that place.
It was certainly not like the things that I had taught her, but they were still alchemical knowledge that she did not know about and that made her even more interested in those things.
'They were lucky to have found that place so early into their lives here.'
And since they had found it without anyone's help, they could borrow the books that weren't usually available to the new students like us.
"How am I supposed to carry two people though!?"
"You have someone that could help us, no?"
"…right."
They took their time browsing through the books, but thankfully they didn't stay there for too long.
They just picked up a few books and went out since the little ghosts were a little too spooky for their taste.
But Rein wasn't ready to leave them, so we had to leave her behind and walk back to where Zoe and others were.
'It was the library so talking loudly and playing around in big groups like that wasn't allowed, so we had to get out quickly.'
So, we got out and then we told them about the plan…
"Ummm, Lucifer? How will you take all of them though? And Uriel as well… how can you handle so many people?"
We were more than twenty people here. And aside from those who could take care of themselves and a few others, there were still a number of other people that we had to take care of.
'Hearing that we would be flying to some secret place was a shock to them, but flying there was a necessary element.'
They will understand when we get there but until then, they were better not knowing much about it.
The element of surprise was necessary here.
"Uriel! Tell me how you are going to take care of them! Are you secretly a witch with special witchcraft powers that can make people fly?!"
Tia had many questions, and the others did as well.
'Flying wasn't a unique concept to students of this academy but doing it was a different matter altogether.'
They were confused, but that made things more fun for us.
"Looks like everyone is ready?"
They were surprised to see us since we told them we wouldn't be back before Monday night, and since we were here, they knew we would finally be going to that place they wanted to visit so much.
'So, they were looking forward to it…'
But then I brought up the new thing about going to a better, secret place.
And even though they were certainly excited and ready for it… flying to that place wasn't something that they were looking forward to.
"Tia take Miss Mia and Miss Araxie."
"And go where though?!"
"Up. Where else?"
I was going to lead them there so of course they would have to follow me, but to get there, they would at least have to first start flying.
"Ughhh! You better take us to a paradise!"
Oh yes.
It would be a paradise.
Perhaps more than a paradise for her, since she could also get into the Astral realm.
"Alright. Hide will take the three of them, Quin, Chry, Baal, and Med will go with me.
Rein will take Zoe, Lizzy, Ginger and Janet his Miss fiancée.
Captain Alpha will have to help Miss Luna, Prince Alph will be helped by Lady Ezra, and rest will be as we planned."
We were ready to take off.
And apparently, the Salamander that Captain Alpha has, the grumpy creature that plays around the entire academy garden most of the time instead of being with him, can control the flame particles in the atmosphere and with a unique fusion reaction help his master float continuously.
'Captain Alpha could help another person float with him and then with some wind magic, they could fly normally with us.'
That was pretty similar to how Miss Ezra was going to help Prince Alph, but she will most likely carry him in her arms like a princess.
And that's going to be a delightful sight to admire for all of us.
"Alright then?"
They were still confused about how I was going to take these four with me but they did not have to worry about us.
"Uriel?"
I nodded at her, and with an excited smile, she nodded back and called out her familiar, Branwen.
[{ "Don't make him too big. Five people can easily go on with 50% release." }]
[{ "I was thinking 45% but fifty works better for me~." }]
Branwen was a unique creature that can change his size.
He wasn't just a pretty black crow.
A night crow… they were the nobles of the night, darkness, and shadows.
-Oooooooooooooooong!
When she summoned him from her familiar mark, some of them were seeing her do it for the first time.
But then, for the first time in their lives… they saw a simple crow with deep pink eyes turn into something… that even they couldn't explain.
"Damn…"
"What the hell?"
"So… she was hiding the fact that… why?"
Quin and Med found the new appearance of Branwen to be more attractive than when he was in his smaller state.
Though, it wasn't actually his complete appearance.
"Ohh! I see! Uriel was hiding a Spectrum bird!"
In the form that he was in right now, it was pretty easy to mistake him for a (Spectrum bird). A blue ranked creature that was pretty rare but well known among the students.
The unique thing about this one though, was the fact that it could change size… so they thought this one somehow possessed a unique skill, and that made this creature even more special in their eyes.
'Only a few of them were able to guess the truth about him though, but they weren't certain about their speculation.'
A night crow was a unique origin beast and there were only a handful of people in this world that possessed them.
'They were as rare as Zoe and my crystal butterflies.'
But then again, not that many students believed that RayRay was actually a crystal butterfly so the two situations were pretty much the same.
"Let's go then."
Rein was ready with Branwen, Alf and Bell were ready with their little dragons, the ones that I gave the special artifacts which let one use the power of wind elemental spirits to fly around were also ready.
Tia was ready with her wolf companion, Hide was ready with his (Dream bird) , a creature that could perform limited polymorph that currently resembled something that was close to an eastern dragon.
Newtines had his own creation that allowed him flight, while Deleon had a special slime that helped him fly along with a few others.
'Mostly, everyone had their way of flying now… so, we were ready.'
Of course, I was ready as well. So, I took out a whistle from my storage space, and took a deep breath.
"Huuuuuuu."
And then I played it in a unique manner.
-Pheeeeeeeeeee…!
-Ooooooooong.
Since it seemed to be made out of a crystal and was too good looking, the others knew this was no ordinary whistle the moment I had taken it out.
But, only those who knew about the past of the academy and some of the less known facts that they could have only known about from the history books of the library, knew about this certain whistle.
"SKEEEEEEEEEEE…!"
And, well, knowing about it still didn't affect their reactions that much.
"Wow…"
They were just as surprised as the rest of them when they saw the phenomenon that happened after I had blown that whistle.
