I quickly created a soundproofing barrier at our table and we started talking.
"Okay, where we were at?... oh yes, well since the five of us will be taking the next examination, we need to get organized."
The examination that cos at the end of every month was approaching, where, depending on your achievents, you either move up or down in class. Honestly, it wasn’t sothing I was worried about.
I was more excited because, I would finally be able to hunt beasts. I’ve always felt it’s much more exhilarating to gain stats hunting creatures than just fighting each other.
I don’t think anything bad will happen, since nothing happened to my alternate self, but with the appearance of the demons the previous ti, I can’t be so sure anymore.
I don’t know if it’s the butterfly effect or sothing, but because of that I’ve been on the lookout all this ti. Although, after that incident, the kingdom invested in strong anti-demon protection asures and according to my father, who has co to visit more than once, the demons are now strictly guarded.
He told many things that should be national secrets, but the point is that there should be no more demonic attacks. At least, they won’t take us as easily as last ti.
So, in theory, nothing should happen from here on and I could finish my academic year without any more accidents, as originally planned. If all goes well, I’ll be relaxed from now on.... ’Shit! I shouldn’t have thought that.’
I’m raising obvious flags.... No, wait, this isn’t fiction, so I don’t think I’d cause an incident just by thinking about it, would I?... Yes, it’s just stupid to think that sothing will happen...
’But, if and only if sothing really did happen..., what could I do to cancel it? Hmm... ’Oh, well it never hurts to be cautious....
"Well, first of all, let’s create counterasures for any unexpected events."
yeah, I decided to ask for outside help, brainstorming is better.
"¿?" (x4)
They all looked at doubtfully, even Elena and Selene were giving a "what did you say?" look. I think I’m overreacting, This is chronic anxiety, isn’t it? Also, I rembered that William is at this school.
My alternate self may not have had anything happen to him during this period, but once we left the academy William has always been a magnet for strange happenings around him. Not for nothing, in the mind of my alternative self, was cented the idea that William was the protagonist.
And, in fact, I think so too, seeing all the unexplained events in several of my inherited mories, and perhaps because of his attraction to the events started earlier , if I think about it William may be the cause of the previous invasion,
’if William is to bla for everything...I have no examination, but no doubts either.’
I definitely can’t let my guard down. What I have to do is prepare for anything, whether sothing happens or not. Yes, maybe I’m a little paranoid...but, well, it’s better to be cautious than to end up with another hole in my chest. So, flag or not, I’m going to face it.
"Well, think about it... this is like an opportunity. If demons or anything else wanted to attack us, it would be during this exam, don’t you think? They could try to catch us by surprise, like last ti."
"But, big sister, I heard my father say that the kingdom has the defenses at their highest point and they are watching along with the other kingdoms on the continent. The defense against the demons, is stronger than ever it would be impossible for sothing similar to happen again."
’No, Alice! You are raising obvious flags...’
"Yes, my lady, I understand your caution, but it is too much. Rember that your father is also involved in the counterasures, if such an event were to happen, the family’s honor may be affected,"
No, Elena, even you, why are they raising more flags, to hell with the family’s honor I’m more worried because that old fucker is involved. Who knows if he’s paying attention to his work or is busy looking at so picture of .
’I’ve got to stop this or else a fucking final boss is going to show up.’
Although thinking about the flags seed like just a joke at first, the more I hear them, the more I feel that sothing is going to happen. My instincts are screaming at from all sides.
"Yes, we shouldn’t worry about anything. My father is the defense minister, so everything should be fine."
"Yess..."
’No! Now Eira too, and even you Selene, do you agree, damn it. ’
Co to think of it, it’s true that the twins’ father is the Minister of Defense, but the point is, I’m going to get ready. Luckily, I have a lot of domain stuff and I’m ready.
The rest of the girls don’t seem to take this seriously, but if a prominent entity appears, I’ll be ready. b
"Well, girls, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Don’t co crying when a demon king shows up or sothing.... Alice, remind us of the rules."
We better I continue with the previous topic. it doesn’t look like they are going to give any productive ideas as they don’t seem to think anything is really going to happen so I’d better prepare myself, I’m sure I’ll rub it in their faces if sothing really happens.
"Yes, big sister. This examination is asured by points. We will be given a bracelet that will asure the power and number of beasts we hunt. Points will also be awarded for defusing traps, collecting materials such as herbs, minerals or useful parts of the beasts. Also, we can’t carry personal belongings."
"Huh, what do you an we can’t carry personal belongings, what will I do without my stuff, my counterasures are there!"
"Big Sister, you’re being paranoid. Nothing will happen."
’No, Alice, you don’t understand. The more confident we are that nothing will happen, the more likely it will happen.’
"So what are we going to do with our guns and stuff?"
"My lady, didn’t you read the booklet with the rules of the exam that I handed you this morning?".
"Huh? Oh, yeah, uhm, I forgot it, tee-hee.(╹ڡ╹ ) "I tried to escape the interrogation by acting cute,
"눈_눈"
But Elena did not fall for my charm, I had no choice but to apologize.
"...Well, I’m sorry, it was my mistake. I didn’t think it was important to read it."
"Don’t worry, big sis, I read it." Luckily my sunshine Alice ca to my rescue.
"Well, that’s my pretty Alice. Good girl."
"Hee-hee."
" (’◡`)"
Happy for Alice’s endorsent, I petted her. Her smile was radiant. It ward my soul. Alice was my little sunshine, while Elena, with her cold gaze, was the beautiful moon that chilled my soul.
Anyway, it seems we can’t carry weapons, unless they’re from the academy’s point store. That’s only fair, so those who have put in the effort will gain advantages, and those who haven’t will have to use the standard equipnt provided by the academy.
I wonder what will happen. will it be demons, or will it be a mutant beast that sneaks into the examination area? I just hope a high level demon isn’t passing through the place and destroying the damn forest because Eira looked at it ugly.
’Ahh... I’m definitely paranoid. My instincts won’t stop bothering . I don’t know what will happen, but I have to be prepared. ’
Besides, I got distracted by this now, but the most important thing for is what will happen when the examination is over: the joint temple will open, where the gods affiliated with the kingdom will have a presence.
Basically, the gods, always busy, will pay a little attention to see if anyone is worthwhile.
My goal is to initiate my plan to deal with the goddess and use her to the fullest. I am sowhat nervous, as this is key to many of my future plans.
Plus, it could an the release of Seraphina, which makes uneasy, knowing she’s been inside all this ti.
..

Anyway...
In the end, I had to do sothing to strengthen myself before the examination began. And well, here I was, guiding Alice after class to my usual job as an assistant.
The purpose: to make us stronger, if for no other reason, if my intentions are entirely pure.
Today I will try for the first ti a threeso with Astrid and the person I brought with . I know she will like it. In fact, I told her that today I would bring one of my mistresses.
By this point, Astrid knows who I’m dating, although I haven’t introduced them and they haven’t spoken to each other in class. The point is that finally, today I will introduce her to alice so they can ’get acquainted.
’ Huheuheueheueheue.’
"....?"
"What’s wrong, Alice?"
"nothing it’s just that my big sister seems happy, do you like the instruction so much?..."
"yes, well, in fact I like it very much, as much as I like you my sweet Alice. You are ready to et the instructor. Rember to call her ’big sister Astrid’ when you see her. She will be happier.
"Well if she’s your lover she’s my big sister too."
Alright!, the plan is perfect and I don’t doubt its functionality. So the two of us went into her office and....
