15 Chapter 12 Rafania, Two Sides of Coin
Valencia House have three daughters and one son. The daughters were rarely seen in the high-society as they could simply not attend it because of their high social standing, plus they were not interested in confronting two-faced high-class people. Same went for the son, purely because of his love for children and countries' people. The son only paid attention to others in poor states, no time for a boring and full of scheme's high-society.
Many would be curious on how they looked, on how they dressed, on whatever regarding them. And there must be oh-not-so less that hunted their lives whether it was inside or outside their residence. The reason was simple, because many were envious on the sweet peaceful life the Valencias have.
The only son was the first child and was a very talented physician, he has mastered either the medical theory of human body or the healing magic taught by the 'church'. Titled as 'Gaius' Prince' for his outstanding talent on medic and the favorite human of the rare healer spirit. The first daughter was the second child, a good friend of the crown prince and foreign princesses who were candidates of crown princess. The first daughter mastered a lot of languages along with the royal capital language that usually only taught to the royal and was the favorite of wisdom spirit, she also could communicate with nature spirits and do elemental (all elements) magic.

As if it was not enough of Valencias' fame, there were the twins adopted. The twins adopted after the death of the first daughter because of an unknown disease. The twins was adopted to cease the stress and shock of the Valencias' Madam due to the death of the daughter.
Went by the name of Arunarafa and Arafania. Blessed by the dark spirit and have elementals crests on one of their body part. Both have an unique-level skill and was a born-talent magic swordwoman. Though they were freakingly outstanding, they hid themselves perfectly as to not get used by people and of course… to not be 'finished off'.
One has a crest of a crimson blood rose on the left shoulder to the waist. The rose thorny stem coiled the body of a pair of green-scaled king cobras showing their fangs, and a thin bluish white crown on top of the two snakes' head. The other one with a blood-shaded purplish lotus held by a white male lion with a pair of bluish eyes. A black rose with a long black thorny stem coiled and pierced the lion's front left leg, and a dark purple flame burning from under the lion's other foot.
Three child with a massive unfortunate event. Hid themselves to prevent bloodshed, either for their safety or others' well-being. Foolish enough for those who wanted to 'end' them. Because… every time an attempt appeared, the sender was the one who would end first.
…
Rafa opened the door to her room. Following by Tiana behind her, bringing in a few sheets of paper.
"Wah, Onee-sama, Tiana, welcome. I've been waiting for you both." A girl with a long black hair and a pair of golden eyes greeted them.
(Note : 'Onee-sama' means 'older sister' in Japanese)
Rafa and Tania stepped in to the room. Rafa closed the door behind them while Tania put the paper she carried on the wooden desk by the side of the bed. There were four single bed along with the white sheet of blanket, a good quality one and should (or a must) be comfortable to sleep in.
"Yo, Nia, long time no see! Do you miss your onee-sama?" Rafa said with a grin on her face while approaching her sister, Nia, who was sitting on the closest bed to the door.
"Hihi… I am, now that Onee-sama is here, we could get all the great excitement here!" Nia declared with a satisfied look.
Rafa seemed to lost words, "Em, Nia, what so exciting about school? There wouldn't be anything interesting or fun around here, am I right?"
Nia shook her head, "No, no, no, there is!"
"Tell me the example." Rafa smirked as she was aware there was nothing interesting in school. Well, from the very basic, school only for studying, learning, there would not be something to get excited or amused on existed here.
Nia shook her head again, "No, no, n—"
"Miss Rafa, please read this paper." Tiana said as she faced Rafa.
Rafa furrowed her eyebrows and walked toward Tiana. She took the paper Tiana offered and read it. The content was about the school faculty and class subject for first semester. There were a section of various training fields and courses, followed by the schedule and courses' teacher. And then, there were gymnasium, cafeterias, sport fields, fashion stores, food stores…
Was this a school or hotel?
'Hm? What was that again?' Rafa thought as her eyes followed by her voice recited.
"Swimming pools with professional couches stand by. In every night of Wednesday and weekend, from 7 to midnight, various of onsen?!" Rafa could not believe her own eyes and words.
(Note : 'Onsen' means a 'hot spring' or a 'stream', there were varieties of onsen, electric, herbal, sodium bicarbonate, etc. A few also have sauna, body-spa, etc in it. Be sure to try it in the real world if chance came by~)
"Tiana, check the time!" Rafa said enthusiastically.
"Half an hour to seven, Miss." Tiana replied as she checked with her 'Time Skill'.

"Let's prepare to wash up, then! To the onsen, go!" Rafa declared with a big smile on her face.
"Oui!!"
…
The night sure was chilling. A mysterious fog always came across whenever night came. It was a bit troublesome to have the imperial guard tensed up because of a may-be incident.
"Hah…" Rio sighed. He stood on the balcony of his room, uninterested.
"Why are you sighing, Rio-sama?" From aback, a young woman with a long blonde hair and a pair of ruby eyes approached.
"Ah, Miriam…" Rio shook his head and welcomed Miriam, his wife, with a hug. "No, I was just thinking about Rico."
"You mean, the sword hero summoned a few months ago?" Miriam asked with a gentle smile.
Rio nodded, "Yes. Rico, along with others summoned heroes, wished to attend the 'Great Hero Academy'."
"Then, what is the problem point? They could train themselves and build connection with other people. What is the 'bad' point on that, Rio-sama?"
Rio looked down to meet his wife's crimson eyes, "No, but the prophecy said the hero would end if they met their 'Fated Half'. I know we could not trust the prophecy bluntly, but I kept Rico and others to a private villa and training ground to prevent that from happening."
Miriam caressed Rio's cheek gently. "Why would you stop their very own story? This may be our 'line story', but the heroes have their own stories to make. What was said, shall it be happened. We may scold them for their wrongdoings, but we shall not interfere their 'stories'. Was it not Rio-sama's words said back then?"
Rio smiled and gave a kiss on Miriam's left cheek gently. He lifted Miriam to his arm with a mischievous smile. "You really are talk-active today. Won't you do that to accompany our night, then…"
"Ma-Marquez-sama…" Miriam stuttered with a getting-red face covered behind both of her hands. Miriam could only put her arms around Rio's neck when Rio began to give kisses randomly to her entire body part.
"May I have my way, My Lady?" Rio said with an alluring smile as he carried Miriam into the room.
With a blush on her face, Miriam nodded, "Yes… you may, My Lord…"
Basically, they 'spend night' together, if you know what I mean.
In another part of the land, the private villa, the academy dorm, from all the place, the main characters would come to begin the 'real' story. A boy with his wondering eyes, a cold girl with her faint smile, a black-robbed boy with an urge to 'end' the things, a wild dark-elf warrior wished for peace and no discrimination, all kind of people despite their race, problem, background, would gathered in one place.
Proceed?
