Rift

"Harriet, are you sure it is a good idea?"

"Nah, it is not."

"Then why are we doing it?"

"Because I want to see them and don't play like you aren't interested."

Harriet said to Fleur as both of them slowly made their way through the forbidden forest until they didn't reach the place where Luna said the spirits saw the dragons.

"Look!"

"Shhh!"

Fleur shushed Harriet as she looked where she pointed just to pale as she saw the beasts that were caged inside the cages.

"Tt-that's madness! Do they want us to fight fully matured dragons?! And females to boot?!"

Fleur distressingly said as she trembled.

"Huh, they look like aunt Salem's wyverns..."

Harriet said, remembering her time on the back of the wyvern Grimms, she still had some phantom pains from fighting them as aunt Salem let wyverns fight without any limitations, to say that day Harriet's eyes opened on the matter that was danger of Grimms she until then easily slew would by understanding, these Grimm wyverns are a menace to fight against...

"Hey, Hey! Fleur, it is alright, look at me!"

Harriet said as she shook Fleur's shoulders that were frozen in fright.

"Fleur, look I have a plan ok? Don't panic!"

"H-Harriet?"

"Yes, yes that's me, look you don't need to worry ok? I have experience in fighting even bigger things, don't worry, we will do it, ok?"

Harriet said to Fleur's eyes that were still a little dilated.

"I said OK Fleur?"

"Y-Yes! I-Im sorry, it is just..."

"I know, I know, look you don't need to be worried, if they think they could make us, students, fight against these beasts when even adults are just meat for them, then we have the right to use anything we wish."

Harriet said and tightened her drip on Fleur's shoulder in a sign of silent support.

"T-Thank you Harriet."

Fleur said to the younger girl with pure sincerity, as she was a little ashamed of herself and how the other girl could hold herself calmly when she herself was too scared.

"Don't mind it, I think that just are your genes, you know, like when mouse faunus meet a cat faunus, then you who is avian faunus have right to by scared of a dragon."

Harriet said with a smile.

"Faunus?"

Fleur asked with confusion.

"Ah, right, you don't have that term there, well you see..."

And so Harriet started to tell Fleur of Faunuses as they made their way back to the castle as Harriet didn't want to risk being detected if she teleported.

"They want WHAT?"

Asked Eredith with clear furry etched on his face as he listened to Sentinel's report about the dragons he saw when he shadowed Harriet.

"From princess and my conclusion, they plan to put the champions against dragons, and from the fact that each of these dragons is of different species from dangerous to even more dangerous, I think they wish to let champions draw a lot, so to say."

"For dust's sake..."

Eredith said as he massaged his brows, to say he was pissed at the organizers was one thing, another was his urge that made him wish to just take his Warhammer and beat some sense into the people who wished to send children that weren't trained in combat against such danger, at least Remnant Academies trained their students, but these magical schools from what Eredith took were very lax or more like thinking that their wand wawing could breach the gap between them and fully trained Aurors who Eredith heard had themselves problems against dragons...

In short, Eredith knew that this world, at least most of Magical's are a very ignorant when it comes to combat knowledge or utilization of said knowledge.

"This place starts to get on my nerves more and more..."

"Sir."

"Yes, Sentinel?"

"Sir, I think it would be best if we let princess Harriet take care of this herself."

Eredith eyes narrowed at the unmoving Sentinel as he made a gesture for him to continue.

"Sir, princess Harriet already showed that she posses initiative in taking care of herself, I think this would be a good test for her, and even if she was somehow to fail, it would just teach her a good lesson, plus we would be ready to interfere in case of crisis."

Eredith closed his eyes as he thought about what the Sentinel said, coming to a conclusion, he nodded with his head.

"Alright, but be ready to strike if some mishap happens."

"Yes, Sir!"

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

"They want what?! These ignorant, stupid IDIOTS!"

"PSSSSSSSSHHHT!!!!"

"PSSSHHHHHHHTTT YOURSELF!"

Hermione screamed at the librarian Pince who looked at Hermione's outburst so shocked that she just left with a frozen expression.

"Hermione, it's alright, so calm down."

"Not it isn't! These imbeciles want you to fight a dragon with CAPITAL D!"

Harriet just shook her head wrily at her friend's outburst, enjoying the warm feeling of happiness at how her friend was outraged for her safety.

"Yes, Harriet, it isn't alright, if my papa and mama hear of this, I do not think Britain could justify itself."

Fleur said as she had booked before herself with all knowledge of four dragons they saw.

"Don't you think they already know it? Just transportation of dragons is a big matter that is hardly overlooked, especially your headmistress should know about it too, and I don't see her doing anything against it."

Daphne said as she used her knowledge of politic's she was taught from her father and mother.

"No, and that is another matter that makes me mad."

Fleur said with anger in her eyes as she thought about the headmistress of her school who didn't even have the gall to tell her of the danger.

"Girls, girls, just calm down, do you see Luna panic? Or Tracey? Look I said I had a plan, so calm down."

"Well, for me, I just still absorb the idea of letting you going against a dragon."

Tracey said with a deadpan face as her mind looked like if she was overloaded.

"And don't speak about Luna, it is clear she is again in her dreamland."

Scoffed Daphne, not maliciously, because what she said was the truth as Luna, who sat by Harriet's side, was just having a faint dreamy smile as she seemed to bask in Harriet's aura feeling.

"Are you sure it isn't addictive?"

Asked Hermione as she calmed for a little just to look at Luna strangely.

"Before I met Luna, I would say yes, that it isn't addictive... but..."

Harriet said as she looked at Luna who just airily smiled at her, Harriet just shook her head.

"Well, it seems it has such an effect on Luna..."

Harriet said as she patted the head of a younger girl who just shot her beaming smile as she melted into the patting.

"Harriet, ignoring Luna's lunatic for a while, what did you mean you had planned? You said it before, but you didn't say what plan it is."

Hermione said, completely alright to let Luna do, whatever Luna does.

"Well, first, let me show you how my other sisters and I fight with such big beasts."

Harriet said and pulled out her scroll to show her friends how she fought against the Grimms that aunt Salem made for them.

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

Moira Vahlen looked at her scroll that showed new notification with a faint smile.

"Finally..."

She said as she stood up from her workstation on what were laying documents about biological improvement implants for civilians and military and cybertronic implants just for military purposes.

"It seems that we can finally start testing the rift."

Moira said as she looked at the feed of finalized portal facility.

"Album, by kind and start gathering drone probes for rift experimentation."

"Verry well Moira, and good work."

Album said from her holographic avatar, and Moira just smiled.

"Please, this just starts..."

Moira said as she already saw the path she would pave for mankind and Schnee family that supported her in her work...
