After school, Richard waited for his sister at the school gate to go home together. Same as his sister, as a new kid he had to take additional cla.s.s after regular cla.s.s.Too bad he pa.s.sed out so he couldn"t attend the cla.s.ses. Fortunately, he was unconscious for only two hours and his facial was no longer pale.
Having fire elemental energy was very beneficial. As long as the fire energy in his body remains burning, then he would be able to recover quickly.
When he woke up earlier, he was somewhat surprised to learn that Edward was waiting for him to wake up. He was even more surprised when the man asked him about his origins.
Richard did not lie to the man, but he also did not tell him that at this time many people were after his sister. Edward and the Elementalist knights don"t need to know this.
After all, even if they knew about it, the knight of Beast named Kazuto would make sure his sister would not get hurt or whatsoever.
"Richard!"
Richard looked up and smiled at his sister. He was stunned for a while when he saw a black shadow with the shape of a wolf following his sister. But as soon as the wolf saw him, it immediately disappeared.
Ah. So that"s how it works. Thought Richard.
As long as Kazuto was not by his sister"s side, he sent his shadow to guard her secretly. For some reason he did not like the idea, but he also could not protest.
This was all for the good for his sister"s safety. Besides, he could do nothing facing an Elementalist knight who claimed his sister as his inamorata.
Richard"s movement was restrained as soon as his sister hugged him tightly making him couldn"t breathe.
"Uhm, did something happen?" Richard asked, lightly tapping Niken"s back. And as an answer he also felt she shook her head slowly in front of his chest.
"I only miss you. I don"t know why I suddenly want to meet you. Maybe ... " Niken raised, "Did something happen this afternoon?"
Once again Richard was stunned. Did his sister remember the afternoon events? Impossible. If so, Niken won"t even ask.
"Nothing. What happened?"
"Don"t lie. Then why do I feel your energy" flowing is very strange. Are you forcing yourself? I know that you want to be strong, but at least take care of yourself not to fall ill or faint. Luckily today you didn"t faint, otherwise, I will cry all day at this school."
"How do you know..." his words stopped as he remembered the simple answer.
Of course. Niken must have gotten slightly stronger by getting a quarter of the knight"s energy. Now she could sense the changing of someone" flowing energy.
"I don"t know either. Usually I can"t feel the flowing energy of other people, but in the next second I could feel it. Even now I know the difference in energy flow for each level. And even more strangely, I could move a wave of water in one experiment today. Sir Won praised my drastic progress." exclaimed her with a proud voice.
"That"s great!" Richard took his sister"s hand and they both walked back to their home.
Richard was relieved to hear the story of his sister who was endlessly talking. At least he should thank Kazuto. Now the younger sister could become stronger and no longer sheepish.
He hoped, when Niken walked alone facing danger, Niken could take care of herself when he could not be with her.
But surely he didn"t need to worry about it anymore. Niken will never be alone again. At least Kazuto wouldn"t leave Niken unprotected.
