2020-08-15 13:10:54FEW days after the incident, the Krystalline Academy went back to normal. The Teacher's room in the Rubi Tower was repaired and the students went on without the knowledge of what Chloe knew.
Not even Lucian and his friends.
Lucian stood at the back door of the house, leaning at the frame and crossing his arms as he watched his sister train close combat alone with the training posts. He was quite surprised that Chloe asked if she could take some time alone every after classes to train close combat.
Usually, they would gather around and play something. This only made the others train, too.
Only Jucel Greyn was not into honing her powers. Instead, she was always sitting close to them whenever they train while reading a book.
Now, Jucel was sitting on the grass under the tree near Chloe's spot as the latter trained. And here was Lucian, standing from afar and observing Jucel's actions.
The silver-haired girl was reading that brown book again, he

How...Probably seeing her shock-filled face, Master Hunn explained further, "It's easy for us, Knights of the Blood Star Shaula, to know what had happened. It was said that a water element Kryst caused such explosion. But no one could point who did.""M-Master Hunn, if you excuse me, w-where did T-Teacher Ailene go?" Jucel asked, her tone was curious but there was an edge to it that only Master Hunn could hear."Where's th

SHE blocked the strike that aimed at her head with her sword and shifted her weight to push it away. She blocked another sword coming to her stomach and turned to another opponent. Her opponent aimed at her throat but she ducked under the blade and swept her foot to knock her opponent off-balance.She turned to her opponent and dodged to the side when her opponent dabbed the thin dangerous sword on her midsection.

"We heard that you are going to kill the Blood Star and the Saranian so we came to visit you."Kill us?! Chloe looked at the queen in disbelief. Even some of the soldiers present gasped."How dare you address me with your blunt words?" the queen seethed. "You have no authority to come inside my palace and accuse me of such crime."Master Hunn smiled. He didn't respond to her statement and instead went back to his agenda.

Her white hair cascaded on her shoulder and her crown sat atop her head.The soldiers are already positioned, all of them sitting on the Pegasi - another type of horses used for battle.
