Chapter XXI: Daily schedule
Stern was walking across the next street from her school to her house. She was quietly reading one of the Infinity Library's suggested magic books and tricky tactics. Somehow, she can't wait to see that auburn girl and at least, have a talk with her about Precia's true plan and about Fate's wish.
And at the same time was still scared to lose like what happened the last time she fought her but she was hopping that it would be different this time. After all, she doesn't want to repeat the same mistake what happened years back when she was still six years old. She then suddenly almost hit head her with her book for remembering a slight tragic part of it.
At the bus stop, she saw her two best friends walking right in front of her, closed her book, ran towards then and greeted them. It was really a rare sight to see two rich girls walking to their respective homes when they have their own limousines to pick them up now that winter's coming.
As the three friends reunited, they went to a convenience store to stop by and buy some art supplies for their upcoming project which is New Year's Cards making. Suzuka even had a hard time choosing which kind of paper is better between Japanese paper or scented paper and her two friends just laughed at the helpless friend.
Suzuka then puffed her cheeks and hit her friends head softly with the Japanese paper in her hand. "Really, can't you stop laughing at me will you? I just can't decide what kind of paper I'm going to pick but with you two laughing at me, I guess Japanese paper is better for it brings more pain than the scented one."
"Eh, what do you mean "brings more pain"?" Arisa asked. Suzuka just turned to her back and smirked. A chill then went down to her friends' spine and this tells them that she wasn't joking on what she just said.
After that, the friends went different ways and waved their hands as they walk away. And when her friends were gone, Stern opened her book and once again started to read it. There were so many tactics and spells that she haven't thought while fighting the auburn so she stopped from walking and held on her blue jewel.
She slowly chanted some words and then a barrier from the specific area was formed. She wanted to be independent from Yuuno's teaching once in a while so that's why she's training secretly while he's away. "Luciferion set up!" she said and her clothes transformed into her barrier jacket. She placed her bag beside the lamp post and then flipped the page of the book and was looking for a strong yet defensive spell.
[Standby ready] She threw an empty can of juice to the air and casted a single pyro shooter orb and started hitting it while her device was counting on how many seconds can she lasts. At the count of seventy seven, the orb disappeared and Stern was already panting even though it was only a single orb she casted.
But she won't give that easily, she once again casted a single pyro shooter orb and started hitting the can and requested her device to once again counts to one hundred. Her training lasted for two hours but she was able to improve the seventy seven seconds to ninety eight seconds. The barrier disappeared from the area and the girl then picked up her back and went home.
Furthermore, with the barrier set, time won't move even a second so she was able to go home on time. Once she's home, she placed her bag at the sofa and started helping her mother on preparing their meal for tonight. When she's done, she went upstairs and called her brother who was studying for his tests and same for her sister who was also studying for her achievement tests.
She knew how hard working her two siblings are so she was also trying her best to become stronger and be the class' top. And when she's finished on her meal, she went to her room and started doing her homework for tomorrow and set her cellphone's alarm. Afterwards, she went in her bed, closed the lights and patted her ferret whilst saying good night and the whole process repeats again.
