20 An Old Acquaintance!
"If it isn't you, Henry." A girl with black pony-tail, huge black pupils and a novice knight's uniform stood in front of me. "Hmm? Who are you?" I ask the girl. "Huh?! You don't recognise me? Really? It's been almost 8 years you idiotic flying fool!" I am confused what she's talking about. "Hey Henry, let's get..." Cyan pauses as she looks at the girl and blinks a few times. "WHO'S THIS KNIGHT?!" Cyan looks confused. "Oh? You never said that you had a friend in the knight's Henry." Mr. Daniel comes after Cyan and following him everyone else.
"I have no idea myself." I say. What else can I say? I honestly don't have any idea about who this girl is or from where and when she appeared in front of me. "Huh?! Really now...8 years ago...YOU INSPIRED ME TO BE A KNIGHT YOU IDIOT!" The girl punches me in at chest. That didn't hurt though I still felt it you know. Wait... "HUH?! How did I inspire you?" I ask. "When you dealt with those nobles 8 years ago...You were...So brave...No fear in your eyes even though you were just a elementary school student." The girl smiles. Oh no...Oh no...All this time who I kept thinking was a guy was a girl...I facepalm myself.
"You are Jess, aren't you?" I ask pointing at her with an unsatisfied face. "YOU REMEMBERED!!!" Her eyes sparkle. "Yeah...You never told me you were a girl." I say. "Hey that's rude!" Jess says. "Jess is the name my friends call me by, my name is Jessica Novera." She says. "HUH?! You never said that to me!" I say to her. "Yeah because you I few days after you rescued me from those nobles and you stopped talking to everyone. Everyone back then...They begin to ignore you and so I was trying to blend in with the crowd...But after I left our elementary school I tried contacting you but I never got any contacts to you. It was almost as if...You had vanished from existence..." She is speaking the truth. Mother was always secretive about us and didn't leave a trace no matter where we were. "But then I heard...You were here and I took my day off and came to meet you." Jessica smiles.
"So you guys are old friends?" Cyan asks. "I wouldn't say friends but I am indebted to him and he is my idol." Jessica says before I speak. Well, she isn't wrong, she does idolise me and call me her inspiration through our meeting right now. I shouldn't judge her so quickly though. She is oddly very friendly towards me but I still do feel a very hostile intent in her aura. "Who are you though? Don't tell me..." Jessica keeps her fingers on the mouth and chuckles. "What?! What's so funny?" Cyan looks confused and sweating. Jessica keeps her hand on my shoulder. "You have got a good woman and I know it. Don't upset her." I tilt my head with confusion. "What?!" Cyan's face is all red. "I AM NO ONE'S WOMAN!!!" She drops the bag she was holding on my toe.
*Smack*
"Okay then...I have no idea what happened..." I say. "That was a situation I didn't expect..." Mr. Daniel says. "I am going too, meet you all outside." Ilora says. Wait? Her tone didn't seem right...What's happening here... I look towards Sean. "Don't look at me dude...I just arrived." Sean says. "Did I say something wrong?" Jessica looks confused.
"She definitely doesn't understand the situation here." Casey says to Luis. "I know, it's almost as if she pulled that out of her ass." Luis says. Caster keeps his hand on Luis's shoulder. "Anytime and everywhere you can find a nice ass that's the hospital nurses for you." Caster says with twinkling eyes. "And here comes teacher's perverted side." Both Casey and Luis says.
"Let's go, Mr. Daniel." I say to Mr. Daniel. "Hmm?" Mr. Daniel seems confused. "You know where we are going." I giving Mr. Daniel a serious look. "I do know where we are going. Just give me the directions." Mr. Daniel says. "I do know the direction but I don't know the way well from the hospital because the hospital was always far away from there so we never came here." I say. "Your gotta be kidding me." I say. "Where are we going teach?" Casey asks as we walk out of the hospital. "We are going to a place where you kids might not be safe, so I recommend you should stay where you are and wait until we come back." Mr. Daniel says to everyone.
"I will come with you as I am a novice knight already. That shouldn't be a huge problem, should it?" Jessica asks Mr. Daniel. Mr. Daniel nods. "There is no way in hell we are staying back especially when your taking Henry who has just recovered from his injury with you." Ilora says who is followed by Cyan. "That's right, we can't let an injured man walk just like that into the face of danger." Cyan says. I smile. "But-" I stop Mr. Daniel. "It's alright Mr. Daniel they can come. The more the better but if we even by a little chance sense a high mana power we run back for support. Did I make it clear?" I ask. "Understood."
"Alright then everyone, get in my car." Jessica says pointing at a silver car with at least 8 seats in it. The front, the mid and the back sit. Plus it looks like a racing car. That's definitely a knights car. "Good, now we won't have to walk or teleport there. So, let's adjust shall we." Mr. Daniel says as Everyone looks so surprised by Jessica's car except for Ilora. Why is she never surprised?
We adjust ourselves in the car with Mr. Daniel taking the front seat along with Jessica, followed by Ilora and Cyan in the mid and Casey, Sean and Luis in the back. Where am I? Guess what? I am sitting right in middle of Ilora and Cyan. "I do not condone to this." Ilora says. Her face seems to be getting quite irritated. "I don't care as long as you don't touch me." Cyan says as she begins to suck her lollipop again. She does realise that we are already touching due this being such a small space.
"Now, now ladies we weren't the one who asked you to come with us. You came on your own accordance. So, enjoy your sit. Hehe!" Mr. Daniel says with a grin. He always knows how to heat up the situation. "Yeah right, like he wouldn't do anything to reckless like fighting against an Elf lord or something like that." Ilora says as she looks out of the window. Is she concerned about me?
"Where are we going anyways?" Jessica asks. "It's a place you are familiar with." I say to Jessica. "What?" She looks confused. "We are going to my house." I say with my serious face. Everyone look at me with confused faces. "Stop joking...Where are we going?" Jessica gives a nervous smile. "You heard the kid, we are going to his house." Mr. Daniel says with his serious face. "Understood..." Jessica seems to be scared. Did something happen there? "Why his house?" Cyan asks. "I will explain on our way there." I say to them.
