Even though Aether was recognized by everyone at the arena, they still lost the tournament. It is because the majorities that are standing are the mages even after the tables were turned. Even though the mages won they didn't celebrate their victory as they all know what would have happened if Lucas didn't interfere with the fight, In reality, it would have been a loss for the mages this time and I am sure everyone at the arena knows that. From this, Aether gains respect and doesn't need to hide his relationship with his sister anymore. Everything ended smoothly.
After everyone clears the arena, Aether was still there cleaning his creation. While he was doing that, the dean approached Aether. She asked Aether to come with her to the dean's office for a talk and Aether agreed to that and follows behind her quietly. "What does the dean want from me? She didn't find anything about me, did she?" Aether was cautious "Sometimes, the situation that I don't want always sticks with me," Aether sighed and followed the dean. They arrived at the dean's office and went in, the conversation between the dean and Aether begins.
The first thing the dean said was "I am sorry for what happened today, it was our mistake for not stopping Lucas." Aether was not surprised as seeing the dean bringing about that, Aether decides to not hold back and says "That's right, it's your fault. A little mistake and something unavoidable could have happened." The Dean glanced at Aether with a "Huh?" expression and mounted in her head "He's not holding back at all, is he?" she sighed and asked "Tell me what do you want as compensation," Aether made the dean ask and "As expected, this is what I want to happen, but first."
Aether voiced towards the dean "If the dean wanted to ask me about this, I don't think you would bring me here, would you? State your reasons first, dean," The dean was surprised as Aether caught onto her intentions, with a surprised face, she laughed and said, "You got me, very well then I will come straight to the point." One of the reasons why the dean asks Aether to follow her to the office is to ask Aether to sell his mechanism to the academy. The dean said she was impressed by how Aether was able to build such a creation in a short amount of time. The dean says she will give 50,000 contributions points for selling his mechanisms.
"50,000 points? that's rich. I can buy most of those things I wanted now, nice," With a happy face, Aether accepts the dean's deal but he also asks for an extra 50,000 contribution points as compensation for today's tournament. "What? 50,000 contributions points?" the dean asked. With a smiling face, he replied "Well yes, you are the one who ask me to ask anything as compensation." The dean had enough of this boy as she mounted in her head "This damn brat, he got me again," she sighed and voiced "Fine, you will get want you want." Aether also asks for another thing before leaving the dean's office.
"I don't know why, but I feel like everything is going according to his way and what's with his last request anyway, haisyhh! forget it," the dean mumbles as seeing Aether leaving the office. After everything finishes, Aether was walking in the hallways and everyone was watching Aether as he walks. There were even a few girls who begin approaching him to talk. Knowing this, Aether begins to walk quickly before they approach him. Then, he decides to go to his dorm, he checks his surrounding carefully to make sure no one follows him.
"What's with the crowd today, it's exhausting. For now, I will go in." Before opening the door Aether sensed that there was someone In his dorm. He slowly opens the doors and "Tadaa! Congratulations on winning," it was Claire sitting inside his dorm. "Shit, I forgot that she has spare keys to my dorm. I thought someone else was in," Aether was relieved as it was Claire and not someone else. "Hey! What's with your disappointed face or were you waiting for someone else? hehe," Claire says with a smirking face. "Nothing like that idiot, anyway what are you doing here? and besides, I never won," As Aether began walking inside his dorm he saw something and...
"Aahhhhhhhh?"
Yes, he screamed...
