CHAPTER # 50

"I have to find his weakness at all costs! End of discussion!!!"

I said, all fired up.

"That's all okay but you can do that later. Right now, you should focus on your cultivation" Miss Granny said as I cooled down a bit.

"But Miss Granny, this is not even the official cultivation. Why do I have to meditate for two hours straight for no reason?! It's so boring~" I whined, earning a sigh from Miss Granny.

She put her tea cup down and stood up. She walked towards the empty space and flicked her finger and soon a blackboard appeared with a lot of weird stuff written on it.

'Why do they seem like scientific formulas?' I thought.

"Miss Granny, Wha-....?" I stopped in my mid-sentence when I saw Miss Granny in a long white coat and transparent glasses.

'Now why is she dressed like a scientist?' I questioned.

"Sabrina, just wait" Celimine said.

She and Augustus were sitting on the couch, just chilling.

"So, Sabrina," Miss Granny spoke, turning towards me as I got attentive.

"Yes!" I exclaimed.

"*tch* How many times should I tell you not to shout?!" Miss Granny said as I shut up.

"So, Sabrina. The reason I told you to meditate is because to cultivate into your second awakening. And as you know, a second awakening is not a child's play, it requires great mind set, effort, patience and tolerance. Meditating is the first step towards your awakening since you have to meditate at least five hours a day and..." and there Miss Granny went on with the awakening session while demonstrating on the black board.

<><><><><>

"...And that's how you become a powerful Agnola and the reason why a second awakening is important. Do you understand?" Miss Granny completed.

"...."

"Sabrina?"

"...."

"Sabrina!!"

"Huh? Wha- Yes, I understand! Absolutely! You are right!" I said as I finally regained my consciousness.

'Geez, that was so boring that I dozed off with my eyes open. I didn't know that it was even possible until now?!' I thought.

Whereas Augustus was laughing while rolling on the couch.

"Haizz...Were you even listening?" Miss Granny asked as she let out a frustrated sigh.

"Yeah~" I said, averting my gaze.

"*sigh* What will happen to you if I'm not around?" Miss Granny said as she sat back on the couch and picked up her teacup.

"Haha...Anyway, why are you so obsessed with my second awakening?" I asked.

"*tch* It got cold" Miss Granny said after sipping her tea while I was looking at her dumbfounded. She warmed up her tea with magic, fully ignoring my existence...again.

'Again, I got Deja vu' I thought as I again looked at her Miss Granny.

'And what in the heck is her obsession with tea?!' I thought as I judged her tea.

"Excuse me?...Miss Amelia? Hello~" I said as I waved my hand left and right.

"Yeah?" she asked.

"I asked something," I said.

"You'll know in the future," she said as she sipped on her tea.

"*sigh* You'll never change. Well, it's late so…come on, send me back to my dorm" I said as I got off the couch.

"I also really want to order Amelia with the same sternness" Augustus said calmly but earned a hit on his stomach by Celimine.

"Am I a servant or what? Go back the way you came" Miss Granny said.

"But that stone you gave extracts so much mana out of me~ I get tired." I whined.

"Then cultivate! So that your mana level increases and so that such a mere magic tool doesn't affect your mana" Miss Granny said sternly.

"Okay I will, but for now please send me back! Pretty please\~" I whined as I showed my puppy eyes.

"Haiz...You and your sugar-coating. Fine, close your eyes" Miss Granny said in defeat.

"Yay~! Thank you! Bye bye!" I said as I closed my eyes and counted to three and as soon as I opened my eyes I was back in my dorm room which was dark since the light was out and Anne and Ivy were fast asleep.

"We will now leave as well so, good night" Celimine said as I nodded and both of them also disappeared in mid-air.

I plopped on my bed and thought about the day ahead.

'A new journey begins tomorrow...I'm ready for it! Come on baby~'

<><><><><>

"What in the world of strawberries is this...?"

I mumbled as I saw the schedule provided to us after the long welcoming speech.

"What's this? Why is it so busy? Would we even have time to use the restroom?" I exclaimed.

"Bold as ever" Aiden sighed and shook his head.

"I'm happy that Sabrina and I have the same schedule except for the swordsmanship class" Ivy said as she flushed in happiness.

"..."

"Anne?"

"..."

"Anne, are you okay?" I asked Anne who was silent the whole time.

"Anne?" Aiden shook Anne a little bit. She looked at him as he got a little taken aback.

"You- You're crying?" Aiden asked.

"What?" I said as I looked at her and saw her glossy eyes all ready to bring a flood.

"A-Anne? Why are you-"

"Uwahhh!!!!"

Anne suddenly cut me off.

"What's...wrong...?" Ivy asked.

"My schedule is way too different from Sabi~!!!" She cried as we all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

___

"Have you calmed down now?" Aiden asked while passing a water bottle as Anne nodded.

It took us a while to calm Anne down. She even took us to the administration office to change her schedule or change her electives but they refused.

They said that they can't until the foundation year ends, but they made an exception since she's a Saint which was a fact known by the head of the Academy, for security reasons but they didn't know about me. So now Anne has to wait for five months to change her electives.

*Ring*

"Oh, it's time for our first class. Sabrina let's go, Floral dynamics class is first" Ivy said as I nodded. I looked towards Anne to bid good bye. She again had tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry about her. I'll handle her, we have the same class. You go ahead" Aiden said as I nodded.

"Maintain distance. No touching. At least two feet away. Or else..." I said as I threw daggers at Aiden.

"Haha...yeah..." Aiden said awkwardly.

'Why is she acting like Duke Syle?' Aiden thought.

"Bye"

Soon me and Ivy left for our class whereas Aiden had to drag Anne to class since she was too drowned in her pain.

<><><><><>

Our first class soon went by, which was held by Miss Ambern who for God knows what reason was throwing daggers at me but no doubt, she is a talented teacher.

Next, I had swordsmanship classes where Knox and I trained together and many students got impressed by my skill. And to my surprise, Grandpa Flyn was appointed as the new training coach which was awesome.

And now I was heading for my Pazerian language class where I met a frustrated Aiden who told me about Anne's behavior and I laughed at his poor state.

"And she was zoned out the entire time, gazing out of the window like a depressed broken-hearted person" Aiden exclaimed as I laughed.

"Stop it now. She is already sad. And lastly, did you maintain your distance?" I asked as I raised my eyebrows.

"Yes Ma'am" Aiden said as I nodded in satisfaction.

The door creaked open indicating the teacher had entered the class. I lifted my head to see who it was and froze.

'What is he doing here?' I thought.

"Good evening students. I'm your language teacher from today onwards. I hope you treat me as a normal teacher and nothing else" the Crown Prince said. His eyes were closed...again.

"Is your brother really a Royal subject? He sure has very free time to teach students instead of attending royal affairs" I whispered to Aiden but received no reply.

I turned towards him only to find him glaring at me.

"Haha...my bad" I said as I again focused on the class.

Prince Dion started the class as everyone got attentive. All the girls were crushing over him whereas I was silently glaring at him.

'Why do I feel so irritated whenever I see him? Is it the original Sabrina's feeling? Is her feeling still lingering inside me? Or is it because of our first encounter?' I thought.

A while passed by and class finally ended. I stretched my body as a yawn left my mouth.

'Oh God, that was one heck of a long and boring class' I thought as I got up.

"Come one Aiden. Let's go eat something." I said as I wrapped my arm around his neck.

"You go ahead. I'll follow later. I have something to discuss with my public relations teacher" he said, unbothered, making me pout.

"Bookworm" I mumbled under my breath as I picked my stuff and started to head out of the class but a voice called out for me.

"Lady Sabrina, May I have a word with you?" the Crown Prince said as my steps froze.

"Me?" I asked as I turned towards him.

"Is there any other Lady Sabrina here?" he asked.

This b!@!#

"I guess not...but you never know" I said while shrugging.

'Hah! Try me, you monkey!' I smirked.

He stayed silent for a bit as I felt a little uncomfortable.

"Anyway, please follow me," he said and headed out.

"Oh my, are the rumors true?" "I think they are"

I heard a few girls talking.

'Rumors?' I thought as I followed the Crown Prince outside not knowing the fact that a shock was awaiting me...
