Chapter Eight

After almost a day of rest I went downstairs and found out everyone was still asleep. Hunger filled my mind I was about to go to Sakura-neechan's room when I remembered the incident last year

I left a note on the fridge and went out. It was 6 pm and the sun was already setting I walked to the nearest convient store and bought a bag of chips with a juice box. Not pretty healthy for a meal but my budget was low.

Note to self ask the President for a raise in allowance. I walked all the way to Pawlownia to the CD shop.

"Maybe they have some albums of my fav bands" I thought and happily went inside. Minato-niisan and I both loved music but has very different taste about them. But sometimes we end up loving the same song being in CD stores takes me hours before leaving

After almost 30 minutes I end up only doing some window shopping. I sighed when the store clerk told me someone else bought the last album of my fav band.

"Did you wished to buy this young man?" Someone asked I turned around

Standing behind me was Igor holding the CD I wanted.

"You're the weirdo from my dream" I said and he chuckled

"I told you before your highness my name is Igor" He said

"Anyway why are you here?" I asked as we sat at a bench

"Ever since Elizabeth left my other assistance Margaret isn't around ever time so I have to buy my food from time to time" He said and I knew exactly what that feels

"What do you mean by the riddle you give me?" I asked

"Riddles are made to be solve, as much as I want to offer you my assistance. You are not destined to hone a wild card yet your power is worth watching" Igor said back

I just blinked once and he vanished How does he do that! I asked myself. He left the CD he bought I thought about taking it but then since it belong to him I decided just to leave it alone hoping he would come back for it. As I walked home I saw a group of students might be around Aigis-neechan's age walking pass me

They wore a different uniform one I've never seen before. It was dark blue in color. With a black lining on the edges. What puzzled me was that they didn't have the same school logo on. Roughly there was a dozen of them and what still puzzled me was that the wore a half mask.

One of them looked at me for a brief moment then moved on.

"What school are they?" I asked myself as I walked back home.

At my front door I was a letter on the door mat. I looked at it and notice there was no stamp on it

Make sure you solve the riddle. Strong guests will come your way very soon

Sincerely Your

Igor

I sighed and thought about his riddle and whether or not I should tell the others about it. I went inside and Sakura-neechan was already preparing dinner

"I'm home" I said


Once I was fully rested I walked upstairs to my room and changed clothes. I was the first to wake up and everyone else was sound asleep. But when I got downstairs the sound of my feet woke Akihiko and Mitsuru-sempai

"I am sorry to disturb your rest" I said

"Nah it's okay to be honest I was about to wake up anyway" Akihiko-sempai said rubbing his eyes

He looked at his new jacket and laughed. I saw Mitsuru-sempai laugh as well

"To think even when we are not Gekkoukan students we still fight with our evokers like the old days" Akihiko-sempai said

"Yes but we still have debts to be pay one is our debt with Minaru and what we did to his family" Mitsuru-sempai said and Akihiko-sempai sighed deeply

"Yeah one day for sure will tell him" Akihiko-sempai said.

After saying good bye Mitsuru and Akihiko-sempai opened a Paradox Tunnel and they soon left.

The next day all of us are well rested as we went to school I heard some rumors from the students

"Exchange students are coming here next semester" One guy said

"Yeah I heard this school is absolutely private and that stars go there" Another guy said

"I heard they are so smart and that they getting into that school take a lot of effort" A girl added

During lunch Junpei-kun joined me and Fuuka-san in eating at the roof top

"Did you guys heard about the rumors about the exchange students?" Fuuka-san asked

"Yeah it's like the hottest news in school. They're coming next semester right?" Junpei-kun said holding a sandwich

"Well at least it's not transfer students" Yukari-chan added and all of us laughed

"Man exams are a week from now." Junpei-kun complained

"What's the matter Stupei didn't study a week before?" Yukari-chan teased

"I studied the first four pages" Junpei-kun mouthed and all of us laughed

After school I went to find Minaru-kun. Lucky he was still in his classroom. I wanted to ask him if we are going in the tunnel tonight

"Huh nah we only go if Professor has a mission for us. In the mean time how about you study for exams" Minaru-kun said then thought for a while

"Anyway I gotta go I have to fetch something for Sakura-neechan bye" Minaru-kun said and left the Classroom straight away.

After class I decided to pay a visit to Minato-san's grave. Once I got there I wasn't alone, Ken-kun and Koro-chan are there as well.

"Oh Aigis-san you came as well" Ken-kun said as he places an incense near the grave

"Arf arf" Koro-chan barked happily

"It has been a while since I last visited him" I said

After a few minutes me, Ken-kun and Koro-chan walked away when I felt something strange. I turned around but no one was there

"What's wrong Aigis?" Ken-kun asked

I shook my head and continued walking

"It was nothing" I said but I felt as if someone was watching me. But I let the feeling slide
