Merry-Go-Round Wonders
Chapter 1
Today is a sunny day in the Republic of Padokia. A little girl is bouncing around the mansion she's living while humming a soft tone. She is especially happy today because her Mommy and Daddy are going to give her a gift as she heard the news from one of the Reinhart butler.
'What will Mommy and Daddy give me this time? Is it a souvenir from their vacation?' Lorielle Reinhart wonders,'Well, I do hope it's the latest Aegis prosthesis arm and leg model since Daddy said that he will visit the factory in the place he and Mommy spend their vacation,'
Yes, that's right, this girl doesn't have a left arm and a right leg. She was just like that when she arrived into this world. Fortunately, her parents, Darius and Clairine Reinhart, is working in the technology development around the world. More like they own it. Thus, they can create a modification for both the prosthesis arm and leg.
And of course the modification is for her benefits.
Lorielle once feel sad about her physical condition, but she accepted it after hearing what her parents said to her.
Flashback
"Mommy, Daddy, why am I different from everybody?" the 6 years old Lorielle asked her parents when they were having dinner together.
Her parents paused their eating at once and looked at each other with unreadable expression on their faces.
"I mean... My friends in the academy have complete body parts and I know that I don't, but why do they always look at me... lowly?" The short haired girl slumped her shoulders as memories in her school came to visit her.
After a few moments of waiting, they answered her slowly and carefully.
"Honey, being different is not bad," Darius said.
"Daddy's right, sweetheart. It is true that you are lacking physically, but that will not change what you can do and who you are," Clairine explained softly then she looked at her husband.
"Daddy can't say that that kind of situation will end. There will always be people who are going to bring it up. People may think of you as low and pitiful in the future, though as long you keep working hard, never stop doing your best, and always bring up the best in all your work then Daddy can guarantee a fifty percent that you will succeed," The brown haired man smiled.
"Wait, only fifty percent? Where's the other fifty? What do I do to get the other fifty, Daddy?" Lorielle tilted her head cutely.
"Just be yourself, honey. Don't ever let anyone drag you down," Lorielle parents said with loving smile attached on their faces.
End of Flashback
The eleven year old girl hold a squeal from coming out when she imagine the modern technology is going to be given to her and it's not even her birthday just yet! She turns her bouncing into a full sprint until she reaches the royal wooden door. That's the door to her father's office.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in," a muffled deep voice says.
Lorielle opens the door with her small hands and faces her father and mother a few feet from the door.
"Mommy! Daddy! What is it do you want to give me? I'm so curious!" says Lorielle as she tries to refrain herself from bouncing on the spot.
Darius and Clairine chuckle at their daughter's cheerful behavior before smiling to each other and face Lorielle.
"Honey, we do have a present for you, but you have to do something first before we can give it to you," Clairine gives the short haired girl a warm smile.
"What is it that you want me to do? I'll definitely do it!" the child says innocently.
"You see, Lorielle. Mommy and Daddy have looked into each of your training with Master Vianne. We both are very proud of your achievement in such a young age. Master Vianne told us every detail of the training that you have progressed very well and he thinks that it is time for the exam to commence," the man's smile is fading completely at the mention of 'exam'.
"Exam? It's exam time, Daddy?" Lorielle blinks as she plays with her thumbs.
"Yes, sweetheart. It pains us to see you go out there for the exam, risking your life to pass, and not even knowing how you are for 2 months at the least, but it is essential for your future," Clairine sighs.
"What are you talking about exactly? I don't really understand," the girl pouts.
"I respect Master Vianne very, very much as he is also my Master, but-" the brown-haired man starts.
"Darling. Don't. All of us has agreed to this since last week," his wife cuts his sentence.
Darius stares at his wife for a moment as if regretting that he have made such decision. Although, nothing can be changed now.
"Lorielle," Darius calls.
"Yes, Daddy?" she answers, feeling the tension in the air.
"Master Vianne recommended you to go for the Hunter Exam in January with addition..." Darius pauses.
"With addition for you not wearing any of the Aegis prosthesis..." the woman turns away.
'It's time for you to use your own technology, Lorielle,' the man says in his mind.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Somewhere near the Heaven Arena, a house is still filled with light in the middle of the night. A girl is packing her things to her bag in her room quietly, not wanting to disturb her brothers who are sleeping in the same room as her.
'Towel, personal things, 3 change of clothes, some water bottles..,' she says in her mind while putting the things in her bag.
A soft knock sounds inside the room and the girl stands up to get the door.
'Hmm? Why would Sensei shows up in front of my room?' she asks herself as she open the door.
"Is there something you need, Sensei?" the green haired girl asks her teacher.
"Ah, sorry to disturb you. I just wanted to give you the map to the exam before I forget about it," the middle aged man scratches his black hair.
"Oh, I see. I almost forget about that too. Thanks, Sensei!" she smiles.
"Your welcome. Good night, Chigusa," the thin man nods.
"G'night!" she waves and goes to her room once again.
'Alright! Let's continue our packing, shall we?' Chigusa throws the map into her bag.
'I am as ready as I will ever be,' the golden irises in her eyes stands out in the moonlight from the window, shining with determination, 'Hunter Exam, you're going down!'
