Of all the things the attendant could have expected to hear at that moment, Jet's name was nowhere near what he could have imagined, making the shock plain to see on his face.
"Y-You want a meeting with Je- Ascended Jet?! Who the hell do you think you are boy??"
"Yes? Did you hear me say something else perhaps? You know... Ascended Jet is and old acquaintance of mine. I'm sure you have ways to communicate with her, right?"
In his mind, the old man was thinking a lot of things, who was this boy? How does he has so much certain that he could talk to Jet? Was he really someone she knew? If this was some sort of trick... could this battered and weird kid really be trusted to meet a Master? If not, then he would have a lot of problems with the reaper... but what if he really knew her? Then he could have much, much bigger trouble.
"I'll see what i can do for you, what's your name?" As he asked, the man turned to the communicator next to the table, looking for the number of someone in a higher position, after all he couldn't call directly for a high-importance awakened like Jet.
"I'm Sunless, from the outskirts, oh, it is important to mention that last part when telling her about me, maybe she know more than one Sunless" As he said this, Sunny was trying hard to maintain a friendly expression, which is why he found it so strange that the man's face looked like someone staring at some kind of madman.
After some minutes, the man finally talked directly to Sunny again.
"Well, i have some good news to you, Ascended Jet is in a government complex not too far from here, maybe you can get to her from there."
"Oh okay, what about the meeting?"
"I couldn't talk to her directly, you'll have to try your luck there"
"Uh-huh, better than nothing... changing subjects then, do you guys have a shower somewhere here?"
***
Since he was going further inside the city, a shower really made him evade too many curious glances, not all of them of course, since in his way Sunny had to walk past a place with a lot of teenagers, he obviously understood that this was some kind of school.
During his youth, social contact was something he never really had any proximity to, which is why his time at the awakened academy had also been the first time he had had contact with groups of people his own age, it was also the first time he had set foot in an educational institution since he dropped school.
As he walked across the street, he could see several groups of teenagers talking, some of them with practice swords at their waists, and it was obvious that none of them were awakened, after all, if any of them had had the first nightmare they would have already been taken to the academy, so either they were on their way to some training, or they were just wanting to show off.
'Look at those twats, I would knock them all down without even raising my hands, oh, how I miss having a minimally capable body.'
"How is it?"
The sudden voice took him by surprise, looking to his left, Sunny saw a tall man, broad shoulders and blond short hair, with a typical handsome face, a awakened. His clothes looked like a simple leather armor, he would've assume that this was a memory if it weren't for the insignia pinned to his chest, indicating that he must be a tutor at that school.
'Damn, i must have spoken it out loud'
"I mean, i had a very strong body before, but as you can see I was a little sloppy..."
As the supposed instructor looked Sunny up and down, he seemed to be amused by the boy's comment.
"You know I wasn't talking about that part kid, you must have a lot of confidence to say that you could beat any of those students... especially without using your hands.
'It's true, I should be more careful with what I say, after all I'm just a poor 16 year old with no power whatsoever. It would probably be something like this that I would say to escape a situation like this in the past, oh, I would even say that I miss those times, but who would I be kidding, right?'
Sunny locked gazes with the instructor, his face changing to an odd seriousness.
"Confidence? Please, even if I was insecure about this little body here I would be sure that I would put those little fools under my foot, forget about not lifting an arm, I would do it without even moving one of my legs!"
