Chapter 12 - Chaotic Day of Becoming Elite

Chapter 12 of The Legacy of Dimension Legend

Me: “Ouf…”

 

At the end, I had to carry Miyu to my room. I can’t just leave her in the bath. If someone like that one girl shows up, I don’t know what will happen to her. I had to change her into new clothes and it was hard to carry her to my room. She may look like a skinny girl, but she is actually a bit heavy. It may be because I’m a girl now but who knows.

 

A moment after I lay her down on my bed, someone knock on my door.

 

Me: “Who is it?”

 

Woman?: “I am from the elite student assistance team. Since your rank have become within top 50, there are a few things I need to go over with you.

 

Elite student? Well, I remember El is an elite student. So elite student means that person is within top 50. I never bother to check to ranking at all. Maybe I should’ve care for the ranking a bit more. After thinking for about a minute, I open the door and there stands a woman who is in a military uniform.

 

Woman: “Hello Miss Hajiura, I am Aika Honkin. I will be explaining a few things to you, is that alright?”

 

Me: “Yeah, but come in first. Take a sit anywhere.”

 

I walk to the side and prepare tea for her. When I look back, she is just sitting there waiting. I guess she is the type that will not show any interest and do her work properly.

 

Me: “Here is some tea. You can start any time you want.”

 

Aika: “Thank you.”

 

She takes a sip and then begins explaining.

 

Aika: “First, I must congratulate you in becoming an elite student. Becoming within top 50 is not an easy task. Sure, the year has only started not too long ago but you are a transfer student. To be able to rise up this fast, it is not easy.”

 

Me: “Well, I guess I got lucky. I wasn’t expecting Germ to go down with one hit.”

 

Aika: “Yes, I have heard of your achievement. Even if it was luck, luck is still important. As I was saying about the elite status you gain, there are three privileges along with it. First is your meal and basic medical need will not cost you money. This is the minimum all academies have to offer.”

 

I nod in respond. I guess when someone become strong and that person can possibly make the academy more famous, it is a small price to pay. It is same in this world, everyone are always looking for a way to gain advantage over another.

 

Aika: “The second one is you can choose to skip tests from your classes. You won’t gain or lose any points for doing this. There are quite amounts of student who are better at fighting than studying. This is to prevent them from losing too many points from certain tests.”

 

Me: “I guess the privileges are nothing special. They are all something that can be deal with easily.”

 

Aika: “I agree, but the last one is different.”

 

She takes out a small glass bottle filled with transparent liquid.

 

Aika: “Now, may I have you drip a drop of blood into this bottle? I need it to complete the process since it looks like you have already picked one out.”

 

Me: “Pick what? Well, I guess is fine.”

 

She hands me a dagger and I poke the tip of my finger with it. This actually hurt more than I thought, but I manage to squeeze out a drop of blood.

 

Aika: “Thank you very much; I will now start the ceremony.”

 

She walks over to Miyu and drew a symbol on her chest with that bottle of liquid with my blood.

 

Me: “What are you…”

 

Before I finish asking, she makes a short chant and the symbol flashes for a second. Miyu look like she was in pain for a bit but as the symbol disappear, her facial expression recovers.

 

Aika: “There, all done.”

 

Me: “What?”

 

Then Miyu slowly wakes up. After looking around, she is surprised by something. She closes her eyes for a few second and then looks at me with a sinister face. Then Aika suddenly cut in between us.

 

Aika: “You should be honored to be chosen by Miss Hajiura.”

 

She said it with a mean face. She was smiling at me the whole during our conversation. I can’t believe how different they treat people like Miyu. Then Aika turn towards me with a friendly smile.

 

Aika: “Can you verify the slave seal is in order?”

 

SLAVE SEAL!! Don’t tell me that thing she did to Miyu is the slave seal. I can’t help but show a surprised face at Aika and Miyu.

 

Aika: “Yes, I am aware of the process being very fast. This is actually a new type of slave seal.”

 

I look at Miyu but she look away. Wait a second; don’t tell me when Miyu look at me with that face is because it shows up on her stat. I close my eyes to check if that is the case.

----------------------------------------------------------------

 

I didn’t ask for this! Aika really made Miyu into my slave.

 

Me: “Yeah I see it but…”

 

Miyu: “Stop, this is going to happen sooner or later.”

 

Aika: “Good, at least you understand your position.”

 

They really treat people like Miyu as some kind of trash. Just because she is an orphan, it doesn’t make sense for her to be a slave.

 

Aika: “Good thing the church raised you correctly. By the way, this seal is a combined technique with an ancient curse magic and church’s Binding Seal. To remove this, the only way is with Royal Purification Tear.”

 

Me: “So it is something only royalty can remove?”

 

Aika: “Yes, so you don’t have to worry about your slave breaking the seal. However, there are chances that someone stole the tear and selling it. I would keep a leash on her if I were you.”

 

My head is starting to hurt. This is all happening out of my control. Well, I could have stopped her but I had no idea what she was doing to Miyu.

 

Aika: “Now, if there no more questions, I shall take my leave.”

 

Me: “Alright, I don’t think I have questions right now. If I come up with any, can I find you?”

 

Aika: “No problem, you can find me at the student management office. It is located at the same hall as the head master’s office, you can’t miss it.”

 

Me: “Thank you.”

 

I said while giving her a small nod and she takes her leave. I slowly turn towards Miyu and give her a deep bow once Aika left.

 

Me: “I’m sorry; I didn’t realize what she was doing there. I will find a way to remove the seal for you.”

 

Miyu: “Does that mean I’m not even good enough for you? Just to let you know, I still have some pride. Even if I am force to become a slave knight, I will do my job to the best of my ability.”

 

Me: “I’m not saying you are not good or anything. I just don’t think slavery is right.”

 

Around this time, the door to this room opens. Dia walks in and is surprised from something.

 

Dia: “How bold, I didn’t think you are this type of person, Naomi.”

 

Me: “What do you mean?”

 

Dia then look at Miyu.

 

Dia: “You are from the wolf tribe of Granz Forest, right?”

 

Miyu: “Yes, are you from that area?”

 

Dia: “Yeah but…”

 

Dia look at me with a scared, yet hesitant face.

 

Me: “Is there something wrong?”

 

Dia: “You said you are from a country in the Far East, the same area as me. But you say you can’t talk about it because of certain circumstance.”

 

Miyu’s face changes almost immediately after she said that. I have a really bad feeling about this.

 

Me: “Well yeah, I can’t really say no to that.”

 

The moment I said that, Miru grab my sword, which is right beside the bed and attack me. However, the seal glows right before the sword reaches me. In a flash of light, tons of chain shows up and restrain Miyu completely.

 

Dia: “This is interesting. So this is what they mean by the slave can never hurt their master unless is purely an accident.”

 

Me: “Where did those chains come from?”

 

A moment later, the chain starts to glow purple.

 

Dia: “Wait; don’t tell that seal has punishment system. Naomi, hurry up and dispel the chains!”

 

Me: “How?”

 

At that moment, Miyu is getting electric shocks. I can’t believe this magic. No, curse magic can do this. I am actually more surprise at the fact the church helped making it. The church in this world is very different from the one I remember.

 

Dia: “You just have to verbally command the seal! Hurry up or she might die!”

 

Me: “Oh ehhh, Stop!”

 

The shock stops right after say stop. This is rather convenient if one wants to control another person. No no no, what am I thinking? Slavery doesn’t do any good. That is a fact, which has shown repeatedly in history. When I look at Miyu again, the chains are still there.

 

Me: “Can I get rid of the chain the same way?”

 

Dia: “You should be able to do it. I’m surprise you don’t know anything about slave seal. Almost everyone knows the basic in Niphon.”

 

Miyu: “…”

 

Miyu is still staring at me with the will to kill. I can’t believe my lie would end up causing more trouble. However, I can’t just tell them I’m a dimension traveler either. I really wish someone can tell me what to do right now.

 

Me: “Chain, release!”

 

The chains disappear at my command. Then Julien shows up.

 

Julien: “Can you girls quiet down? I can’t nap when you guys keep making all that noise.”

 

Then both Julien and I are surprise to see each other.

Julien: “Naomi, you live right below me?”

 

Me: “I guess so.”

 

Dia: “You two know each other?”

 

Julien: “Yeah, when I was out for the special quest little over a week ago.”

 

Miyu: “A little over a week ago?”

 

Miyu is thinking about something then look at me with a serious face. Her killing intent seems to have disappeared as well.

 

Miyu: “You are not from Niphon are you?”

 

Me: “Well…”

 

I have no idea how to answer this. If I say yes, she will hate me and wish me dead. If I say no, then might hurt Dia’s feeling. She was dying for a friend, I don’t want her to find out her first friend is lying to her this whole time. While I am hesitant to answer, Miyu continues.

 

Miyu: “I thought so, you are not from Niphon. You are one of the dimension travelers.”

 

Then Dia make the pose of “Oh, so that is it!” How did she find out?

 

Dia: “So that is why you lack so much common knowledge.”

 

I never thought Dia will be doing fine after finding out. I guess she is stronger than I think she is. Then Julien turns to Miyu.

 

Julien: “Are you an orphan?”

 

Me: “Why are you asking her that?”

 

Miyu: “Yes.”

 

Julien: “No wonder.”

 

Me: “Hello? Can someone explain to me what is going on?”

 

Julien: “The orphans often make their communication network in this city. Since some are trained as spy, it can be good practice for them.”

 

Me: “Oh…”

 

Dia: “Now the misunderstandings are solved, we should hold another party for Naomi.”

 

Me: “Again?”

 

Julien: “Why?”

 

Dia: “Naomi just becomes an elite and she just become her slave knight.”

 

Julien: “In that case, we should just order all the food we want and party hard. Let me go tell the others.”

 

Me: “Wait; what do you mean order all the food?”

 

Julien walks off and ignore my question. Seriously, why is everyone around me lately are always in their own pace. I didn’t think Julien is this kind of person.

 

Dia: “You can get free food right? It is like a tradition to do this when a friend becomes elite. I will go tell Ristia and El.”

 

Me: “Alright.”

 

After she left, Miyu walk towards the door.

 

Miyu: “I should leave then.”

 

Me: “Don’t, you are a friend too. It would be unfair to you if you don’t participate.”

 

Miyu: “Are you stupid! I tried to kill you!”

 

Me: “But that was because of a misunderstanding. So let’s just forget everything and have fun.”

 

Miyu: “I can’t believe my master is this kind of girl. I don’t know if I have the best or worst luck.”

 

We sit down and talk about our past. Miyu really went through a lot because of the country once known as Niphon. The remnants seem to be trying their best to revive the country for the past three years. However, Miyu had to suffer even more since her tribe was one of the few that were used as disposable pawn by them. Because of this, everyone is separated and have no idea who is at what place. As for me, I can only talk about things like classes in my world and stuff like cars and computers.

……

…

When everyone is here, I decide to tell Ristia and El the truth about me. That include the fact I am a dimension traveler. They didn’t like the idea of having Miyu with us but when I tell them I consider her as a friend, they seem to have dropped the case. Then, our party starts when all the food we ordered arrives. The food is enough to feed around 10 people at the very least. Also, I, Dia, Ristia, and El will have two day straight party now. I have never done it before, it is fun at least. I just I won’t get into trouble by ordering such large sum of food.
