Chapter 21: Chapter Twenty One- leaving for school

Chapter Twenty One

The following days were mainly preparing for our leave, since we would be going to live in the dormitories, we were going to be bringing lots of furniture and clothing. Luckily with the help of Claire and Clara, I was able to pack without much hassle.

Furthermore, with our time with Gregory coming to an end, we each had a spar against him. Although I had done better than last time and was able to make him forget about playing me around the hook, he still didn’t have a hard time beating me to a pulp.

Casually reading my book one night, Both Claire and Clara suddenly strolled into my room.

What were they here for? I did not have the slightest clue. However I knew I wasn’t going to be able to read my book any longer, so I marked it and put placed it under my pillow.

The atmosphere in the room was about to change…

“James, we are having a barbeque out in the back, get your shoes on and come down,” Clara said while walking out of the room.

“Don’t forget to bring some of the sweets you have been hiding from us either,” Claire said while following up with a hmph!

Honestly, I don’t understand these two girls, they are truly bizarre.

Although she said that, I was hesitant. These were some delicacies that I had gotten from the Capital a week ago, and they were extremely expensive.

On the other hand, if I do bring them, the girls will surely praise and hug me

But if I don’t…

No, no, no. Let’s not think about that.

After getting my shoes on, I sighed and brought some of the expensive sweets down in a bag and went out to the back garden.

However, when I got there, I could see almost the whole family. Was it some sort of party? Why wasn’t I informed?

“Ah, he’s here, alright let’s start, everyone Shhhhh!” Elizabeth said while putting down Katie near Liza before beginning to walk towards the front of the crowd.

“I’d like to congratulate Claire, Clara, and James on advancing to Kingswood School of Swordsmanship and Swordcraft! These little rascals have always tried their hardest in anything that they have done, I am truly proud to be a part of their lives, thank you. Now let the party begin!” and as she toasted, the cheers rang loud.

The party lasted for a while, and from the bag of sweets being full at the start, I could say the exact opposite from when the party ended. My bag of expensive sweets was all gone.

Truly a depressing thing.

However everybody had smiles on their faces, so I guess it was alright.

After the party ended, the festive mood slowly died down, leaving just Claire, Clara and I next to the burning campfire, it felt cozy, like I could just fall asleep here without any worries

However, that was not the case.

That was because we were starting school next week.

After talking for a while at the campfire, we decided to go inside and have a bath before going to bed.

 

The following days were nothing special, we had already finished the training with Gregory so we had even more free time than usual.

All we did was spar and eat food. This is about it, nothing more.

Oh I forgot to mention, Katie is now training with a small wooden sword and Claire and Clara have been teaching her. It’s like watching two older sisters teach the younger. It was adorable.

Now that we only had one day until we left, I guess I should've brought all my luggage downstairs, however, if I did that, then I would have to bring the girl’s luggage down as well and to be honest, I couldn't be bothered. I just wanted to sleep.

As so I did just that, I fell flat on my bed and had a short nap, until I was waked up by Liza for dinner.

“James, it’s time for dinner, I have made your favorite, Chicken soup, now hurry before it gets cold.”

Chicken soup? I haven’t had it in ages. Was this a farewell gift from Liza? Well if it was I wasn’t going to be polite.

I ran downstairs, and luckily I was the first at the table, so I served myself first.

After another couple of minutes, the rest of the family followed my steps and served themselves a bowl of chicken soup and we started digging in.

This is a flavor I can never forget, truly something worth to be called Liza’s Special dish. It’s even better than the food we got from the capital…

After dinner I got into my pajamas and was followed by Claire and Clara to bed, they were very adamant about sleeping in my room tonight (it’s not like they do it every night anyways) because this was going to probably be the last time they could do it, due to the boys and girls being separated into different rooms at school. This was to keep any relationships from happening, however, it didn’t stop most couples, they just decided to leave the school grounds to do-the-deed.

 

I was woken up by the sound of my gut being crushed.

However, before I knew it I was dragged out of the bed (still half asleep) and was getting stripped naked.

Why was this happening to me? God, what have I done wrong?

It was Claire and Clara, who was already fully dressed for leaving, I guess it was time for breakfast, however they didn't have to be this forceful!

“Okay, Okay I get it, now let me change myself!” I moaned while rubbing my eyes open.

After a giggle, both of the girls left my room and I could hear them heading to the dining room.

Well, I guess this is it, isn’t it?

The next time I will be here will probably when the holidays start at the end of the year.

I’ll miss this place.

However, I have to fulfil my promise to Scott. I have to get stronger, strong enough to avenge Edward and Scott, and strong enough to know the mysteries of the Red Gem.

I opened my drawer and opened the fake bottom it had on it, lying there was a black box with a keyhole.

I took the key from the necklace that I had on and opened the box.

The Red gem which had caused the deaths of hundreds of villagers and my family, the same gem that gives off the aura I felt when I reincarnated.

“Just what mysterious do you hold?” I muttered this out in a low voice, luckily nobody heard me.

After putting the gem back in the box, I put It in my rucksack and brought everything downstairs, and continued to the dining table where everyone sat eating breakfast.

After breakfast, we headed outside and then Claire pointed in the direction of the capital.

“Kingwood, here we come!”
