Chapter 208. Buying Terminals
Once upon a time, there was a princess. Her cage was so beautiful that others saw it as a splendid castle. She was weighed down by many responsibilities that seemed to define her every day... blah blah blah. One day, she longed to see the outside world and asked her father, the King, for permission. The King agreed, but on one condition: she must return to her castle before nightfall. Tempted by the freedom she found, the princess became greedy and decided to stay outside a little longer...
"Ahhh... Why are we even studying this stuff?" Mathilda grumbled, her frustration evident as she sat in a building that looked precariously stacked atop another. It was a library, though it slanted slightly, giving it an unstable look.
"It’s the story of the founding members of Starfire Academy," GG explained patiently. "It’s best to know this, because they might ask about it during the final interview."
"Grizzy-chan, it’s not like they’re definitely going to ask these questions, right?" Mathilda asked, leaning back in her chair with a huff.
"Grizzy-chan?" GG blinked in surprise at the sudden nickname, but after a moment of consideration, she decided she liked it. "Alright, I’ll allow it. But seriously, what are you interested in?"
"Take me to the Alchemy Lab," Mathilda said with a glint of excitement in her eyes.
GG let out an awkward laugh. "Uh... the Alchemy Lab was actually flipped upside down... outside."
Mathilda sighed, her disappointment palpable. "Seriously, how is this Academy even surviving?"
GG shrugged. "There is an Alchemy Department in the main Starfire Academy. If you pass the entrance exam, you won’t have to worry about these things."
"But I wanted to blow something up today," Mathilda muttered under her breath.
GG chuckled thinking that she is just joking around.
