Chapter 62: Guide
It all happened so quickly at the speed of light.
Damien and the fairy suddenly vanished from Ahara’s sight, zinging straight into Gibforge’s stadium the next moment in a flash. The boy didn’t even have time to blink. It was as if he’d been snapped into another dimension and everything else had moved but him. Immediately after they appeared in the stadium, a student dressed in Fangpeak’s red uniform made her way towards them.
Damien immediately recognized her silvery hair cut into a bob and that quick gait that made her look like she was gliding.
"Alicia?"
"Damien Amaris?" The girl beamed as she approached him. "Oh my goodness it’s you! I was wondering what snobby first year I’d get this year, who knew it’d be you of all people? Can you believe my luck?"
"Yeah, it’s me," Damien’s face heated up for no reason. He could understand her excitement, after all, he too was happy to meet someone he knew on his first day at the academy.
"Well, this’ll be easy then. I’ll be your guide throughout the entire process for tonight so follow me closely okay? Even if you don’t, I can sniff you out if you suddenly disappear from me," she pointed at her nose, grinning.
’Right. She’s a werewolf."
"Yes, ma’am," the boy nodded at Alicia, making her laugh to herself.
"Come on, we don’t want to sit in the back after you came this early bow do we? Not to mention the saucy feast that’s been prepared by the fairies today—it only happens once a year you know. The rest of it we have to take turns cooking by ourselves," Alicia rambled on and on, rolling her eyes as if searching for the words to speak inside her head.
"Wait, what about my luggage?" Damien cut her long unending speech.
