Episode 18: Unexpected guest

After such tragedies, Reena promises her teacher that they won't celebrate the new year at her kingdom anymore. "Teacher... Are you okay now?", Reena asked gently. "Ah, Reena. Sorry. I couldn't handle myself. I'm still just a small child... 15 this year after all.", Ayu said while laying on the floor. "Sorry teacher, I forgot you're 15 years old. I used to see you, being so perfect. But, teacher. I'm still curious.", Reena asked. Ayu look at her with curiosity. "If you're 15, and you started to do all of these for 1 year. What was your background?", Reena asked. "Oh, if I say I was reincarnated. Is that normal?", Ayu said and Reena nods, "I mean. Reincarnation is not weird.". "Well, I don't actually understand my circumstances. But, I know for sure. This is my new life.", Ayu said.

"Still, teacher is that young, huh?", Reena said. "What do you mean? We're both the same age, right?", Ayu said. Reena shook her head. "Actually, teacher. I'm 25, this year.". "Is that true?! But we look the same!", Ayu was shocked. "Well not exactly, my race is called dream humanias. Which actually, age twice slower than humans.", Reena said. Ayu understand. "But, teacher don't have to worry either. When you become a cultivator. You're basically immune to aging.", Reena said. "So, that's why I didn't grow much even when living for so long in the Training Book.", Ayu said. "Well, that one is different since I don't understand that book principle.", Reena said.

"Reena. Can I know why your hair is green? Your mother and sister is different too.", Ayu asked. "Of course. My hair is green due to the elemental choice. Which the forest spirit pick me. It depends on the child of every dream humanias. Some will be picked and some won't be picked. Those who aren't picked usually been thrown into the forest and die from starve or being eaten.", Reena said. "That's... Too brutal.", Ayu said. "Well, we were born from a pearl. So, it's different from humans.", Reena implied. "Now that makes sense. No wonder there is a lot of you.", Ayu said.

Few days later, the gate was knocked like crazy. "Hm? Visitors?", Ayu opened the door. "Please help me...", they're shivering with fear. Ayu being a kind person allowed her to come inside. And then, some people came towards her gate. "Lady, have you seen a person went through here?", the person asked. "Oh, is it this tall?", Ayu implied. The person nods. "I saw them running to that mountain.", Ayu lied. And they thanked her.

She brings the people inside. And saw Reena was armed. "Woah, Reena. Calm down.", Ayu said. "Teacher! Who is she?!", Reena looks at them with wary. They take off their cloak, "Forgive me for intruding your residence. My name is Calliera. A viscount from Lanyia Kingdom.", the person said. Ayu tells Reena to make tea and discuss. "Who are those people?", Ayu asked. "Actually, those people are after my head. It seems like my family was framed. And I was in this situation. Please, I'll do anything. I've nothing on me.", Calliera asked. Ayu look at Reena. Reena sighs and allows Ayu to make decisions.

"Um, so... If you can. Can you clean the house? I will let you stay.", Ayu asked. "I'm not good with cleaning. But, I'm good at organizing!", Calliera said proudly. Then, Calliera also implied, "Oh, right! I can even be your bodyguard! I'm an ascent cultivator! Rank impure diamond! I'm a rare ascent cultivator!". "Um, Reena. Is impure diamond ascent good?", Ayu asked. "Well, teacher. Impure diamond ascent is a rank below me. Since it is an ascent. Meaning, they are as good as 100 elite soldiers. While I am as good as 1,000 elite soldiers.", Reena said.

"Hm... I don't really need strong people. I mean. Having Reena alone is enough.", Ayu said. Reena was proud. But, Calliera tried to provide even more. "I can be a good maid! Um, uh... I can give you a lot of magic knowledge!", Calliera said. Ayu was curious, "Magic?". Calliera saw that Ayu is interested in magic. "Yes! Magic! Despite my look, I'm actually a top magic academy student. I've memorize every single magic!", Calliera said. Reena look at Ayu, "So, teacher. Are you going to accept her? If you don't, I can just throw her.". Ayu being herself. Accepted Calliera as one of her pupils.
