Chapter 269: Chapter 269 Academy.
Three days passed instantly, and they enjoyed their vacation to the fullest in a hotel in Italy. All of them are currently inside a limousine Beatrice's own, and their destination is an airport where Serafina's private plane has been waiting.
This is probably the time Soma had spent slovenly with the girls; he occasionally flirted with Hina and Serafina, and as for Xiao Lian, he would go together as a tourist searching for delicacies or some souvenirs to bring.
Inside the limousine was lively with Beatrice, who kept talking to each of them, probably to get her fill because they wouldn't be meeting anytime soon.
As always, happy times will always feel the shortest. The limousine finally stopped its tires and stood near the private plane.
They left the limousine one by one, starting with the servants from Serafina's side, Beatrice, and then Soma and his group.
"I am going to miss you everyone".
Beatrice gives each girl her warm hug while holding back a sob. Serafina, who was being hugged, flushes in embarrassment but is also happy because she can see her mother is healthy and can leave the mansion.
"Soma".
"Yes, mother!".
Soma finally gave in after being cornered into calling Beatrice his mother, and that name had already seeped into his consciousness. Besides, the feeling of having parents who were always watching him and encouraging him was not too bad.
All of them entered the plane and were sent off from the airport. Beatrice kept waving her hand until she saw the plane had drifted off into the sky.
"Safe travels, everyone!".
Soma and his group are a bit reluctant to leave the island, but it is already their obligation to return to the Ark to attend the Academy.
As the plane drifted off, inside the silent plane, as usual, Soma, sitting calmly on the seat, circulated the Mana through his nervous system while also training his lighting magic. A crackle of tiny bolts sometimes emerged, adding color to the room.
Soma is not alone. All the girls also began to copy his routine, sitting on their own seats and circulating Mana in their bodies. They focused their minds while occasionally resting and enjoying a soft drink that Violet had brought.
Time passed, and eventually, when the sky turned orange, they could see the scenery of the Ark floating on the Pacific Ocean, with its majestic structure and strong foundation.
Thanks to technological advances, planes can move faster and more efficiently with fuel, so travel that could take days can be finished in just half a day.
The plane began to descend and landed in the
"Everyone, is there any place you want to visit?".
Serafina, who almost entered the limousine, turned her back and faced the other.
"No I have none in mind".
"Mmmm".
Hina and Xiao Lian shook their heads to the side while Soma, still pondering something, finally opened his mouth.
"I have some place, I need to go".
"Okay, I will take you there, Is everyone okay with this?".
"No, problem".
"Mm, me too".
"Thanks everyone!".
After Soma told Serafina where he wanted to go, she informed the driver, and they entered the limousine. As the engine started, the limousine began to drive off from the airport. They glided smoothly on the road, carried by a luxurious car. Soma, who usually spent his time training, rarely cast his gaze outside, seeing the mundane scenery, and seemed fidgeting.
The girls began to wonder why Soma seemed excited. Hina, who sat beside him, poked his cheek.
"Soma the place you want to go, where exactly is it?".
Soma snapped back from his long thoughts, which were getting wilder as he imagined the things he wanted to do.
"It was a blacksmith, I want to ask for some custom-made clothes".
"Clothes?".
"What for? Is it a Battle-suit?".
"Are the school uniforms not enough for you?".
"Well, you guys can see it later".
Hina, Xiao Lian, and Serafina, whose curiosity piqued, exchanged looks, and they chuckled seeing this are Soma, who excited like a boy his age.
Not long after that, when the sun above them was almost completely submerged in the west, the limousine stopped in front of the Red Gate, which was still in operation.
Soma and the girls decided to walk on the market street, their eyes filled with joy as they witnessed the scenery of the Market when it was almost nighttime. Multiple tiny neons tied on the wire above connected across the buildings, creating a cross pattern that gave color to the street. The stall vendors still keep their spirit yelling to attract every customer who still comes to the place.
Of course, not all places opened; some had already closed, whether it was closing time or their product had sold out.
In this lively atmosphere, the girls began stuffing their mouths and hands with many foods that were still abundantly showing themselves at this time.
"This is delicious".
"Mmmm".
"Lets go buy that this time".
HIna Xiao Lian and Serafina began visiting each stall, selling foods or snacks on their way to Malik. Occasionally, they would give half of it to Soma, making him enjoy the festive atmosphere the girls and the surroundings created.
While they were still enjoying each meal in their hands, Soma finally stopped in front of the shop he knew well. Without hesitation, he ascended the stairs and pushed the door, followed by the chime of a bell that alerted Malik, who sat behind the counter lazily.
"Mr. Malik, how have you been?".
When Malik saw Soma enter, he stiffened his body. Then, after seeing other pretty girls coming inside, his eyes knitted into a frown.
"What is this? Are you trying to brag?".
"No, hell no. I came here because I have something I want you to make!".
Before many eyes gathered at him, Soma stepped forward and summoned something from his relic.
"What is that?".
"It is Silver?".
"I never saw a big chunk of silver in my lifes, Hm, wait?!".
The girls' eyes were wide open, for they had never seen a huge chunk of silver ore in front of them, but upon getting closer, the girls who were sensitive toward Mana felt something strange from the silver chunk.
However, Malik was different; as someone who delved into the smithing, within a glance, he already knew what kind of chunk Soma had shown to him. Because of his frantic thoughts, Malik jumped from his seat and stood in front of Soma.
"Kid, is that what I think it is?".
"Go and have a look at yourself".
Soma placed his palm on top of the massive chunk beside him. Malik began to take his monocle and inspect the silver. Soon, his body stiffened in shock at what he assumed was right.
Serafina, curious, began to take her monocle and look toward the silver. Her eyes opened wide in shock. With trembling lips, she spoke.
"Mi-Mithril!".
"What?!".
"?!".
The soft voice from Serafina jolted Hina and Xiao Lian's brain, for they had seen something so outrageous for the first time in their lives. They were so shocked that they turned to stone.
Malik, who saw the smile on Soma's face, felt slightly irritated but also glad that the kid was still alive and well after that incident.
"So, what do you want, Kid?".
"I want to make some battle clothes with this!".
"?!".
