Chapter 46: Esper Academy
"I’m not even going to bother to talk," Rina said, folding into herself with her legs resting against her chin, her eyes half-closed from boredom.
Kaizer and Keith shared knowing looks but didn’t try to bother her. They could somewhat understand how the young girl was feeling because she had finally received an answer about the super-secret society that was hidden behind the veil of the world, and it turned out to be quite... unremarkable... to say the least.
It was more than just that too.
"So? What do you think?" Keith asked his son since his niece opted out of the talk.
"Looking at it, we really only have one choice, and only had one from the start," Kaizer answered while folding his arms, his tone casual.
"Exactly, whether your mother or your aunt, both of them unanimously agreed that the two of you should enroll in the Esper Academy," Keith revealed, leaning back into his seat.
Rina groaned audibly, throwing her hands into the sky. "I knew it! From the moment I saw the list, I knew you guys would send us to school again!"
Keith glanced at his beloved niece with a soft look. "Rina, you have to understand that it’s the best option you have."
Rina instantly settled down. "I know, Uncle, it’s just that my previous school just blew up, and now I already have a new one before the month ended."
Kaizer and Keith were rendered speechless by this. They had both thought that the destruction of the school would weigh heavily on the young girl’s mind, especially since she had witnessed many of the killings firsthand.
Clearly, they were overthinking. Whether it was Rina’s own natural resilience or something inherited from the nature of her death-related powers, she did not seem bothered that hundreds of her former friends and acquaintances died unjustly.
