Arts and Scene

Distractions. A problem to someone is an answer to another. That's what its definition is to me and I need one right this instant. Drawing and writing just so happens to be my chosen distraction.

I headed to the school library and sat down at one of the tables. The place only had a few students and the librarian in charge which I'm  glad to see that the prince or the rest of the capture targets aren't.

Otherwise this place would be flocked with the worst fanbase the kingdom conjured. 'But it won't be as bad as twitter' I thought randomly as nothing could kill that mass of negativity easily and stay dead.

'So what should I draw?' I decided the former would be better since I don't really have anything to write about at the moment. Beside, I've done a lot for the past month drawing characters on to my pocket book.

Maria opens the book showing each page containing a different sketch. All of them were of characters or things.

'I've drawn things like Luffy, Touma, Jaune or Mako.... Neuvillette or Chloride... Or Onii-chan....' I caressed the page of my brother's incomplete sketch.

".... let's just draw myself." I concluded and specifically, my past as Furina. I flipped to a clear page and held my pencil. First, trace the line. I'll line out a front image template. Second, make the shape. The drawing will need spheres, circles, and square. Third would be to draw the look. Make it more specific and I had quite a dress in the past.

It was a deep blue formal attire I had with some complimentary colours alongside it and a few shiny jewels but that detail is useless since I'm just making a decent looking pencil sketch not a coloured masterpiece. All grey lines and nothing else.

Maria doodled out herself, taking time to carefully trace the image she's making. She would've continued if it weren't for time running out as the white haired girl needed to be elsewhere.

"Time for class again..." Her voice lack any enthusiasm. Who wouldn't be as it was a lecture. One to two hours subject class.

"It's the last for today so I'll just bare with it." Maria grunts, packing her belongings as she headed to class.

Leaving the library, a male figure walked out of their hiding place, "I'm glad it was worried for nothing."

[I understand master, but did you really help stalking an underage girl] A levitating metal sphere appeared beside him. If Maria heard it's comment, there would be a pile of metal to be scrapped.

"Yeah-No Luxion why did you have to phrase it like that?!" Leon said in a restrained voice after recalling that they were in a no noise ruled space.

[But was it not what you were master doing?] The robot named Luxion inquired causing the boy to grimace.

He sighed and looked at the seat Marie sat on, remembering finding her from the ceremony "It was just surprising to see someone like that to be here even though I haven't heard of them."

[Isn't that to be expected Master? Not everything from your knowledge of the game would appear to be exactly the same goes for additions that haven't been mentioned.] Luxion points out

True. Despite the otome game having many characters, modes, scenarios difficulties, lore and weapons, those would only be a part of this world and it already proved it with Luxion's background and its creator. The world once possessed a human civilization that's similar to a more highly advanced state from Leon's knowledge of earth.

Extras or background characters with little to no well story or dialogue are likely to be alive. Artifacts that were of unparalleled power that were never a thing in the game could be here. The same goes for buildings that have more details and stories carved in their structure. All these mentioned are subjects that have lessons unknown to him.

So a character with white hair and heterochromatic eyes wouldn't be out of that unknown. However... Leon touches the table while Luxion appears to tilt

[Master?] Leon ignored the boy's inquiry as he thought in mind a question. One that really stuck out like a sore thumb

'Why does she feel familiar to me?'

The case for Marie in Leon's eyes, she isn't as unrecognisable as he might have imagined and was a step closer to a conclusion.

"Achooo!*" On her way, Marie suddenly sneezed and blinked as she wondered if it was an omen of warning but disregarded it for now as she might end up getting absent from her first class and she can't have that.

...

'Well the professor seems decent but can I just get out of here already!' Marie cried mentally as she's looking down from her upper seat at the board with the sole regret of attending the accursed lesson, she calls.

The girl was currently at lecture hall B-7, waiting for the class professor, her left leg was twitching underneath her seat as she shifted her eyes to the clock.

1:56 PM it read through her different coloured eyes.

"I have a chance to see a good one." Marie mumbles whisperingly.

In the otome game, there are inevitable dialogues that aid in the development of a character ending route.

Among them, Marie knows that the Julius route will start.

'But I'm not sure.' I rubbed my nape. I don't have much certainty that Olivia would go to the Julius route. The same goes for the rest of the targets or the harem route. Each of the male main characters have their own baggage of a story to be revealed to the heroine.

Already know them but I sure as hell want to see, in person, the scene with a front row seat to the sight. Seeing a raw emotion-fueled action would  bring join to her heart. Mainly because he deserved it of course.

"We're out of time students so see you next meeting. Class dismissed!" The professor, whose voice I only registered, finally declared the lesson to be over.

So I went to find the main fountain of the academy as it was the location of Olivia slapping the pathetic prince. 'Heh can't wait to see it. Gotta go fast brrrr!' she hastened her pace as she smiles excitedly.

Meanwhile the crowd sees Marie and starts to murmur about her. Leon spots her as well in the hallway, "Isn't that the girl and why is she headed to the garden?..." It didn't take his paranoia to creep into mind since he decided to follow in secret.
