How long did she lived in the Clock Tower?

I then pull out something from my pocket, showing an erotic depiction of myself (I don't particularly appreciate doing this, but I got no choice.) I offer it upfront.

The male student face's looks puzzled when I show this; okay, what is this for? He said while sweat tearing is visible down on his face (His defiantly lying, I know for sure.) the male student began to look around, avoiding my eye contact.

And finally, his eye lay upon Alicia, and he stared in silence; he then grabbed something from his art kit and began to take steps with his and started running outside of the art room,

"Hey! Where are you going?" I said as Alicia, and I looked outside the window; we could see the culprit trying to run away from us. "What's going on?" we turn left to see Angelo walking toward us.

"ITS HIM! GET MOVING."

"A-Ah, Alright, I'm on it,"

The two shouted at Angelo for being absent; he began chasing after the artist. As Angelo approaches the culprit, the culprit slides through the hallway, ends up in the dead-end, opens his sketchbook, and draws something on it. Then turns around and emerges from the page like a pop-up book, a six-foot-tall humanoid pig with a slag hammer and armour on. Arises from the page, and the building begins to shake.

"What in the actual? Fuck is this!"

"It's a barbarian, face it,"

This sudden turn of events leaves Angelo startled, he now faces a stronger opponent, and without any means of defence, he stands there dumbfounded as the barbarian swings its slug hammer at him, "Get away, dammit!" Angelo heard this. He then snapped back to reality and moved his whole body aside.

Alicia sprinted towards the creature with needles the size of 12 long inches behind her back. As she stopped in front of the barbarian, the hands from her behind began to shoot toward it. Making the barbarian feel the pain of six needles penetrating their skin, it froze for a moment and kneeled on the ground,

"That was quick, I will say…."

"He told you I'm stronger than the average human; any would not dare challenge my talents."

"Yeah, yeah."

As the culprit tries to flee, Alicia slaps him on the face, causing him to fall to the ground, dropping his sketchbook.

"You're done."

"Urk… fine, you guys won."

And thus, the culprit artist has finally resigned after a short a minute of confrontation.

"Erased all the artwork you have done that made a mess yesterday, or I'll stab you with these needled on your eyeball."

"F-Fine, alright, I'll do it, just give me a break."

Alicia threatens the culprit just like she did with Angelo when they first meet, Lena finally catches up to them, and after that, they all run chasing a single student.

"What a bizarre day we have."

"I'll have to agree with you on that; I mean, I saw a humanoid pig appear from you from a distance."

"Don't you think this plot is fast-paced for the readers?" Lena asked; Angelo looked at her confused, "Yeah, I think so... the author is lazy to write more scenes, can't blame him, heck he didn't even incorporate mystery into this story, "Angelo said.

"What are you two talking about, author? readers?" After dealing with the perverted artist, Alicia heard the two talking.

"Oh, it's nothing," they both said.

Nevertheless, Angelo and Lena were clueless, and questions started to form in their minds after experiencing all that in one day. "It's done," the culprit confirmed as he finished working on his sketchbook.

Lena then begins to feel something warm from her pocket; she pulls it out to see her art piece herself begin to burn. She was a stunt to visit and drop it; before the art piece hits the ground, it turns into ash, blowing away throughout the breezing air.

=====

The time is 6 pm; as the trio enters the room, they begin to sit down at the tea-table to relax for a minute. They poured each other a cup of tea and drank it in unison. When they clung it down, empty,

"So uh, what was that all about earlier ago?"

"…."

Lena asks Alicia a question that has been keeping them boggle for a while now,

"I guess you two need an explanation, huh…."

Alicia continues to explain everything she has known of. Starting, she tells Lena to put down the old book she has been holding on to since yesterday.

"This is not a document."

According to Alicia, this old book is an artefact; it is an ancient artefact. That contains powerful abilities on which those who own one will grant its power,

"And what's that you always can't leave this so-called artefact?" Angelo speaks up with a question in mind.

"I am what you call a guardian. Our sole duty is to keep and protect the artefacts. I didn't realise how long I have been a guardian; it is lonely sometimes... "

"SO CUTE! Don't you worry for now own I'll visit you every day?"

"H-Hey stops this in an instant?"

Angelo describes Lena's tears of joy and tightly hugging Alicia from the perspective of a little girl holding her favourite toy, which Alicia became silent as she was being embraced. "This feels warm," she mumbled under her breath and finally hugged Alicia back later after that.

"Good work, you two. Now the only problem we have to deal with is this."

Alicia holds out the Sketchbook in her tiny hands and closely inspects it; Angelo and Lena watch silently.

"This is certainly an artefact."

"You right that is an artefact after all."

While they were on guard, the trio heard a voice behind them. They turned around to see a figure dressed in a coat and top hat with a bloody knife.

"You two stand behind my back."

Alicia instructs the two; as the dark figure slowly approaches them, Alicia snaps her figure; the room expands longer as the figure moves feet away from Alicia.

The candles lit up the room, and the moonlight shined through the window on the right, showing the figure's face; it was a boy; his face was too young to be considered an adult. Alicia then shouted throughout the long expanded room.

"Last piece of advice, boy, those who come in my territory must have to face me first."

"…"

"Staying silent… I guess I have no choice as well."

Many tiny needles started forming and appearing behind Alicia, and the hands were now aimed toward the boy. like before

"Say Alicia isn't this a bit too far for a kid like him…."

"Shut up; this is not someone we could trust look at him ---"

Alicia was cut off when the figure suddenly came towards her, holding a knife in his right hand. Her quick reflexes allowed her to dodge it just in time, get away from the figure, and get into the distance. "That was fast", She comments as she faces a quick opponent.

The needles are now reappeared in her behind again; this time, she was able to shoot a barrage of arrows toward the figure.

He did what every person would do in this situation; he dodged the barrage of attacks to the left, used the knife to stop a few, and sprinted towards Alicia.

Angelo and Lena watch as the fight counties; the figure looks back at them with intention. Alicia stepped in front of them and said, "It's not the time to watch a show. Get your body moving inside that door, don't let him have that two artefacts!" Alicia shouted back.

The two begin to clash. Both try to distance themselves, and the other tries to close the deal of the fight. Alicia tries to avoid close combat while keeping her distance from the figure and shooting him a barrage of needles, yet the intruder is skilful.

Enough to evade those attacks, and tries to approach Alicia faster than before; his speed is similar to what a boxer delivers their punches.

Due to her lightweight size, Alicia could backflip behind her and clap her hands tightly. This caused the two parallel bookshelves in the wall to hurry, trapping the figure from both sides. Stop him from moving by retraining him.
