Arcanum - Chapter 66

Chapter 66






I awoke to the alarm bells ringing in my head . Wanting more sleep I pulled a pillow over my head in the hopes to block the sound . Till I remembered I never went back to my room . . .

Jumping up in shock I awoke in Paul's empty room . 'Did I fall asleep mid conversation??? . . . ' reluctantly waking up, "Paul?" I shouted seeing if he's still around but no reply .

"I guess he's already out doing S-rank business… . . . " I said to myself getting up . I was still wearing the same top and skirt from yesterday, noticing my robe was folded up on the table with a letter on top of it .

"Sorry I had to leave early . . . . Sadly I have stuff to do . . . . . Was a great talk last night . Grab some breakfast if you like and I left lunch in the fridge for you . From Paul" the letter read .

'Hmmm . . . I'll pick up the lunch and quickly change some clothes and head down for breakfast . . . . ' Quickly grabbing the lunch from his kitchen fridge and quickly made my way back to my room for a change of clothes, taking extra care no one notched me walking down from the S-dorm level and then making my way to the dining hall .

"HEY EMILIA!!!!" Daisy voice shouted out to me the moment I exited the dorm building .

"HEY!!!" I shouted back noticing everyone was walking to me .

"What happened to you last night???" Helen asked looking worried, causing me to contemplate if I should tell them or not . . . . .

"Yeah!!! We waited for you and even went to look for you!!! You wasn't even in your room!!!!" Grace said .

"Yeah we was gonna sneak into the S-dorm but we got caught . . . . so we were sent back to our rooms . " Jay informed me .

"Sorry for making you guys worried . . . . . Yesterday I met up with Scarlet in the courtyard and we talked little bit then I fell asleep in her room . " I told everyone .

"Well you can tell us everything at breakfast!" Daisy said wrapping her arms around my and began pulling me gently to the Dining hall .

"Did you see Paul? . . " She whispered .

"Yeah I did! We talked a little . " I whispered back to her .

"OHH OHHH what did he say?! How is he doing?!" she whispered loudly unable to contain her excitement .

"Yeah he's doing well . . . . He's really busy with stuff he told me… . . " I answered her .





"Do you think you can take me next time?!!!" she whispered asking me looking extremely hopeful squeezing my hand tightly .

"It wasn't really a planned meeting . . . they just kinda turn up and said lets hang out . . . " I replied .

"Ooooowww . . . " Daisy replied saddened at the reply .

"If I ever get the chance to meet Paul I'll defiantly bring you along okay? . . " I suggested .

"Yes please!" she said looking at me with a giant smile her expression flipping instantly .

"So . . . . . What did you guys get up to last night? . . " I asked them once we were all seated in the dining hall .

"Nothing really . . . planning on ways to get more information on our opponents . " Jay said .


"Hmmmm do you think the school keeps records of students and their capabilities? . . " I asked .

"Not sure . . . . . But it would be extremely beneficial tactically if they catalogued each students and what they can do . . . " Grace guessed .

"Because I'm friends with Ashley I'm sure I can ask him for help . . . . . " I replied .

"Ashley? . . " They all replied not knowing who he was .

"Yeah . . . . Paul's friend… . The dude with the metal arm we met at the demonstration festival thingy . " I reminded Jay and Daisy .

Daisy gasped at me mentioning him . . . . "was was . . . was . . He the guy that helped Paul save me in the cult? . . " she asked me .

"I guess so . . . " I replied . . .

"Let's go meet him! We all have a day off tomorrow anyways!" she suggested filled with excitement by the thought of meeting him .

"I'm not sure . . . if he has time off . . . I think he plays an important role in the running of the school . " I said .





"Well . . . . He could defiantly be extremely helpful if he decides to help us . . . " Jay said .

'Hmmmm . . . . I wonder if Paul and Scarlet has time if they can help us . . . ' I thought to myself . . . .

"So what happened to you last night??!!" Helen asked me .

"Ohh so I went outside . . . For a walk . . . and met Scarlet . . . she wanted to hang out for abit . . . . " I replied .

Helen looked at me weirdly as if she somehow knew I was lying or . . . . suspects me of lying, "Hmmmm Do u think Scarlet can help us train? . . . " She asked .

"I dunno . . . . she's really busy apparently . . . . . " I said .

"Yeah . . . . I assume even though Emilia knows Paul and Scarlet . . . . I'm pretty sure they both are super busy protecting the school and stuff . . . . " Grace added .

"That would be so awesome though! . . . to even train with a day with them without being in a class… . !" Helen said .

"I know right . . . I would love to ask Paul on some spell advice . . . . " Jay agreed .

"I wonder if he knows Druidic spells . . . . " Helen wondered .

"I think he does . . . " I answered her .

"He does?? . . How do you know? . . " she asked in shock .

"When we met . . . . he somehow caused a burst of vines to sprout out of the floor to entangle and hold me . . . " I replied to her .

"Holy crap . . . . How does he know Druidic spells?!!!" Jay said in awe and surprise .

"No idea . . . . but was it a Druid spell? . . I assumed it was as it was to do with nature . . . . " I asked .

"Sounds like Grasping vines to me . . . " Helen answered .

"That guy never fails to amaze me . . . " Jay said in awe .





"Ohhh did you hear?? . . . apparently there's gonna be a big announcement in the Colosseum today . " I heard a girl say to her group beside us .

"So do you guys know who's duelling today? . . " I asked .

"No idea . . . . " they all replied .

"It wold be awesome what to know what other people can do . . " I replied .

"Yeah it would be defiantly a good learning point . " Jay agreed .

"Wait wait . . . . I just realized . . . so prior to Atlantis . . . you guys have had previous training and learning? . . . " I asked in sudden realization .

"Yeah . . . Me and Helen has had some training . . . . not much though . . . we spent more time in books when we did in combat . . . " Grace replied .

"Yeah . . . I've had quite alot . . . . The Cult had a very rigorous training schedule . . . . . And the priests taught me a little . . . . " Daisy replied .

"Yeah . . . I had one previous teacher . . . he taught me the some basic spellcasting and spells . . . " Jay answered .

"Damn . . . . I'm the weakest here . . . . " I replied .

"Don't think like that!!!" Daisy said instantaneously to my reply .

"Yeah!!! We all started somewhere!" Helen replied to my comment .

"By the way . . . . . Emilia? . . . . are you from Consecratus? . . . " Grace asked out of the blue causing me to cough from the shock .

"What what? . . " I asked trying to catch my breath making sure I heard correctly .

"Yeah . . . you said you and Paul were old friends . . . . but we all know he's from Consecratus . . . " Helen added .

Daisy gasped in shock . . . . "Everything makes sense now . . . . why you and Paul have some sort of friendship!" Daisy said astonished .

Fiddling with my clothes unsure how to answer, I gave Jay a glance for guidance on what to do next . He gave me definitive nod and smile . "Okay guys . . I'm sorry it was all my fault . . . " Jay confessed to them . Causing them to all turn to him in shock, "The reason why she kept it quiet it because I told her too . . " He explained .

"But why keep it a secret?! It's such a big thing!" Daisy replied .

"It's because she's still new here . . . completely new . . . . and I didn't want anyone taking advantage of her . . . or you know kidnap her . . . . " He answered .

"Really? . . . you think that might happen? . . " Helen asked .

"Yeah . . . I would bet my life that any of the other schools would want to take her one way or another . " He replied .

"Hmmmm that would make sense . . . . . Having two students from Consecratus must be pretty daunting . . . . " Grace replied .

"So I wanted her to keep it quiet till we knew we could trust everyone . . . and well . . . . . Hope everyone could keep it hush hush . " He replied .

"Don't worry my lips are sealed!" Daisy said putting an arm around me to cheer me up .

"Same you have our word we shall never speak of this subject again . " Grace said giving Helen a nod .

"Yup!" She replied with a smile .

"Wait so there's like no magic where you're from right? . . " Daisy asked realising what Jay said .

"Nope . . . Zero magic" I answered .

"Ohhhh that explains so much . . . . wow life must be so different there . . . " She said looking into space imagining what life could be .

"Wow . . . . it's so crazy I'm friends with someone from Consecratus . . . Helen whispered .

"Do you think you'll be strong as everyone else from Consecratus? . . " Grace asked .

"Paul said I could be if I keep training . . . . but I really doubt it . . . . my score during the entrance exam was horrible . . . " I replied .

"You really should have more confidence in yourself!" Daisy said giving me a hug .
