<strong>Evening 7 o'clock, Elite Division Girls Dormitory;</strong>
"Woah, you look like a Disney princess. I'm so envious." The usual ever calm Mia went to a daze for a moment as her eyes fell on her best friend who was wearing a one-shoulder golden sheath gown and now was wondering whether to let the hair loose or go for a braided crown.
Mia's comment brought Claire back to reality and looked at her. Her eyes darted to Mia and then, herself. She mumbled, "I'm the one who is envious."
"Hmm, what is it?" Mia asked her, wondering what she was unhappy about.
"Nothing," Claire shook her head and then, asked her help for the braid.
After a while, Snivy entered the room, depressing the both of them even more as they compared their…
Contrary to their thoughts, the situation was the same for Snivy too. The busty loli was also envious of Claire who is tall and looks elegant and Mia who has the perfect body and curves that every girl of their age desire.
Soon, Claire received a message from Azzy. She looked at both of them. "Let's go."
With every guest left, there are only like 40 girls living in this Elite dormitory. So, it was expected to be empty. However, it wasn't as Claire expected. A large number of girls gathered at the entrance hall.
A few of them are squealing in delight while a few of them are murmuring while looking outside as if they were seeing a celebrity.
In one sense, Azzy and Gideon are indeed celebrities within the city of Aclein because of winning a prestigious tournament. Now that they got even scouted by WAMO, every media company is interest to contact them.
However, as Barton was adamant about refusing any kind of personal interview, the photojournalists of several media companies and other freelancers could take photos and collect the information to publish articles on the next day.
And that caused the swarming of the media into the academy. With several bodyguards blocking them, they were taking pics of those Azzy and Gideon.
The former just crossed his arms to the chest and was waiting for the girls while the latter became busy with a photoshoot.
Soon, as the three girls exited the dormitory, their attention was quickly shifted towards them. Claire and Mia were accustomed to this kind of situation as they usually attend formal events in their respective nobility circles. On the other hand, Snivy blushed feeling shy and nervous.
Then, her eyes fell on the two boys waiting for them. With the black tuxedo, Azzy looked handsome, just like he always has been. There's not much change. However, Gideon seemed way different from his usual nerdy look.
After changing his spectacles for lens and spiked up his hair, he indeed looked a bit stylish and handsome too. The only thing that's put him at disadvantage is his height.
Compared to Azzy who was at 5ft 6in, Gideon was only 5ft 2in, so when they stand beside each other, the former grabs the attention even without doing anything.
Meanwhile, Azzy was seen staring at Claire as she was walking towards him. Usually, he was immune to the charms of a woman but at the moment, Azzy's heartbeat rose all of a sudden while remembering the image of his future family. He couldn't take off his eyes on her for a few moments until he realizes it and quickly looked away in embarrassment.
"Looks like you attracted your hubby's attention," Mia whispered to Claire, trying to tease her. The latter blushed slightly and continued to walk straight. She was feeling a bit happy inside though.
"Hey, let's take a pic as a group." Gideon was the first to act as soon as the girls arrived but Azzy dismissed his suggestion and got into the vehicle.
The rest of them also followed one after another.
"Woah," Snivy looked around in amazement as she never got inside of such a luxury car. Even Mia and Claire also had the same reaction. For a while, everything seems good. But, when Barton and Sahara also joined them, the males and the females sat separately, bringing Azzy and Claire to face each other all the way.
Both of them neither could look into each other eyes nor they could look away. Thankfully, the restaurant was only fifteen minutes away from the academy. So, the awkwardness between them didn't last long.
Soon, everyone get down from the vehicle and followed Barton into the empty restaurant.
There, Azzy saw two ladies were seated, having wine together. One was a graceful-looking young lady while the other is a stylish old woman with spiky short hair and a butterfly tattoo below her left eye. There was another long tattoo over her right arm but the script is unreadable. She was wearing a black coat over a black t-shirt.
As she stood up, Azzy saw she wore ripped jeans and long boots. Everyone was just shocked to see her appearance. The white-haired woman only lacked a guitar. If it was there, they would have wondered whether she stopped on the way from a concert.
Not only Azzy but even the others including Barton are also surprised at her outfit. When Sahara informed them to wear the custom-made clothes, even Azzy thought there would be an event similar to that of the Royal Feast.
He didn't expect it was just two women and one of them even dressed strangely. It was only after the Reaper informed Azzy about their soul realm, he remembered Aegis and his usual outfit and convinced himself that there are all kinds of weird people in the world.
"You are late, Mr. Everglade." The woman spoke to him as soon as she saw him at the entrance. Her eyes then shifted to the teenagers standing behind him.
"It's my fault. I apologize, Venerable Silverthorn." Sahara bowed in response.
"Venerable?" Everyone's heart skipped a beat for a second. It is well known that Venerable is only used for Supreme Realm experts. They finally realized why the Principal said the one they will meet in private dinner is a very important person.
"Alright," She waved her hands and then, asked the young woman, "Are these the kids who won the trophy?"
"Yes, ma'am. The one on the far left is Azrael, the second left is named Gideon, the middle one is Mia Leveret, the second right is Claire Lefeuvre, and the one on the far right is named Snivy." The young woman whispered to her.
Everyone sat down, wondering about her identity.
Barton then turned his head towards his students. "Let me introduce her. She's Angie Silverthorn, a mid-rank-9 Arcana Master and the head of Eternal Educational Institutions. And this is her assistant, Linnea."
"You forgot to mention that I'm future Director too, Mr. Everglade." The old woman added.
"I haven't informed them, yet." Barton apologized to her.
"Is that so? Fine, Linnea will explain it to them." The old woman didn't take any offense and was cool about it.
"Thank you."
"Eh? Our director?" Azzy and his teammates looked at each other faces in confusion.
What does she mean? Was she trying to scout them? But then again, none of them ever even heard of this Institution either.
Only Mia had an inkling of that word. She spoke, "By Eternal Institutions, do you mean the Eternal Financial Group?"
"Oh, you seem to have knowledge about us. Good." Both of the strangers were surprised for a moment before Angie praised her. "Now, it will make it a lot easier…"
While Claire and Azzy appeared to be calm, on the other hand, Snivy was feeling nervous. Realizing that she's even stronger than the royal ancestor, Snivy was being overwhelmed by her presence.
As the waiters were serving the drinks, Linnea proceeded with Angie's permission. "First, let's start with the introduction of our Institutions. Like Ms. Leveret mentioned, our parent company is Eternal Financial Group (EFG). It is comprised of Eternal Global investors, Eternal bank, and Eternal insurance.
It was only eight years ago, we entered the education sector with Eternal Educational Institutions. So, you can say, we are fairly new in this circle. Currently, we have over twenty-two branches so far, of which fifteen branches are working, six of them are in the middle of a renovation, and the construction of University for advanced studies is almost complete.
Anyway, coming to the point, a few weeks ago, we had a deal with Mr. Everglade. From the next academic year, Aclein Academy will become a part of Eternal Educational Institutions."
"What?"
