Ch 356: Sorry it’s late.
I'm sorry this is a day late. I always say my luck is bullshit. And I had no clue what I was in store for yesterday.
Got a 100 on a final project with not that much effort.
A 90 on a final with minimal studying.
An 84 on a final no studying.
And that's how I should've foreseen the bad day ahead.
The tempered glass on my phone broke.(phone screen is fine)
Car issues. (I think is fine? maybe? Will know for sure Tuesday.)
Wallet broke and my credit card fell out without my notice / found it hours later after a lot of luck.
Internet is out at the apartment because the number students taking online finals at once crashed it and burnt part of the server room.
Got home from work made sure I had no more finals. Then went to sleep.
Last one is today at 2 and hopefully they fix the WiFi I don't wanna take a final at a Starbucks.
======================
"You're late." Ruby says the second Kyra appears.
"Sorry, hunting an anthropomorphic owl that ate human hearts." Kyra says as she gets helped into her dress by Ruby.
"Why wasn't I invited?" Ruby asks
"Ah, well. I kinda forgot." Kyra says looking apologetic.
"Doesn't matter. You can make it up when we dance tonight." Ruby says
"Well of course. I will probably dance with all of you." Kyra says hugging Ruby and doing a spin.
Setting down Ruby they both giggle.
"Right, got your speech prepared?" Ruby asks
"I'm just gonna wing it like I usually do." Kyra says
"You're usually good at that." Ruby says
'You say that dear but in my first life I had the worst stutter. I mean it was usually fine till I got tired. I blame the fact I was thinking significantly faster than I could speak and a few other issues..' Kyra thinks happy that her rebirth has freed her from several issues that plagued her past life.
================
Kyra walks into the massive ballroom with Ruby.
The two hug as Ruby goes to a table with the rest of the family.
Kyra walks up to the main table which has Ghira and a the city representatives along with several envoys.
Kyra gets to her spot and coughs to get everyone's attention.
The talking of the massive ballroom comes to a stop as everyone focuses on Kyra.
"Citizens of Niwaki. Two years today, was the final battle that brought atlas down signifying the end of the war against Atlas. The end of Atlas' tyranny and oppression. The day that we guaranteed freedom and equal rights to all faunus and humans. Coexisting, for an untold number of years to come.
However, we have not let this victory stop us or fully define us. Speeding forward, we have continued to look onward hoping for more. Searching for new boundaries with the goal of breaking through them. All of us knowing, that the decision we make today. Will have a lasting impact on the generations of tomorrow. With that I would like to make an announcement before we begin the week long festivities, that I know you are all eager to begin." Kyra says with a smile as that gets the attention of all the faunus watching where every there is a tv.
"Many of you were wondering about that mysterious device that we recovered from atlas' wreckage. Well I can now tell you that it was a portal to another world. Contact has been made and we have several representatives of the countries on the other side sitting up here with us. Very soon it will be available for you all not just hunters to travel there, after proper arrangements have been made. Once again we have the opportunity to explore that which is unknown to us. Let us embrace that with open arms and continue on forwards as we always have." Kyra says to massive cheers from the civilians and hunters.
"With that! I would like to announce the start of the second victory festival." Kyra shouts over the cheers which get even louder as she sneaks away to go eat with her family.
"Well done." Blake says when Kyra arrives at the table.
"Thanks," Kyra says looking up at the representatives table all talking amongst eachother the even lord admiral from monster hunter having a fun time laughing and joking.
"Where did you get the skills for that." Richard says
"Well, when you memorize every book you read subconsciously. You get good at accidentally mixing and matching speeches together. Especially if you like reading history books." Kyra says
"That's a nice skill to have." Judy says
"It's a blessing and a curse. By the time was around 20 or so. I could predict the ending to almost every book I was reading a quarter the way through. I started reading Japanese, Chinese, and Korean books that were translated to English. That lasted me about a year before I had the same issue of guessing the ending at the start. I ended up having to read books by new authors that a lot of times don't have really any experience writing or know how to properly plan a plot. If they wrote well, it was a chaotic master piece that kept me on my toes. Though sadly a lot of them were never finished." Kyra says
"I love reading, that would completely be a curse." Judy says
