My daily life which started as a loner was, actually progressing pretty good.
Apart from the looming thread on our head, This almost feels like my dream life That I couldn't live.
I was waking up to morning sun, Attending classes, Training with Phoebe and attending various clubs.
Yes, This academy had clubs for Students to join.
I decided to join the music club,
I was really into music in my last life and was very much depended on it as it was my only source of calmness.
I was more of Hypnotic and indie pop and if the mood is right even some soft rock.
My favorite artists were Frank ocean, TV girl, Tame Impala.
I really like TV girl's Old stuff up to French Exit.
That beside, I was genuinely flabbergasted to see the artists from my previous world putting out music here.
With seeing the record of charm by clairo, I was overjoyed to say the least.
Pretty much nothing happened besides me getting stronger over the course of the week, Now I could even fight toe to toe with Phoebe, With all threads without getting crushed.
The main cohort progressed smoothly with their training, Vivi as always was A ray of sunshine, She and Nolan had gotten pretty comfortable around each other, Lex was constantly dueling Nolan for training and Lily was training with her friends who had similar light and Preception threads. Phoebe as always had me with her for training and as such she had opened up to me quite a bit. Actually everyone in the cohort was accepting of me, Even Lex and Lily asked me about Theory related stuff which I was quite good at besides Vivi.
Days passed quickly, And came Monday.
Today was the day we were going on Ishtara Mountain Range.
Thus, Teacher's instructed everyone to get up early and wait infront of Dorm Building.
After arriving Infront of the Dorm Building, Everyone was waiting, including the rest of the three classes.
This was all to make students ready for them to fight against The Threaded as well as the neighboring Kingdoms.
This was also where the first signs of church's involvement are shown.
This whole mountain Range spanning across Theon Kingdom is under Church's authority, It is kept under the name of Sacred Mountain. That there is divine revelations hidden in the mountains.
But all there is, Is the first seal of Netharis. Present at the end of mountain chain with the biggest mountain flowing with eerie mist. And beyond the mountain is a vast ocean.
Netharis has 7 seals placed on him, But the Mc only came in contact with a seal, when Netharis finally awoke. The first seal was broken by the church towards the end of first semester and the rest of them started to whither away when a war started to brew. They broke the seal with the help of Nolan's mother's Thread which they severed from her soul.
Her body was still alive but without any threads. She was then transferred inside the royal palace as a experiment subject. She right now should be in stronghold of the church in Ishtara.
Yes, I the Novel A small coincidence could've been enough to save Nolan's Mom.
But this Time I will make sure that she escapes. Although I doubt she has her Thread within her soul.
That aside.
Teachers gave us instructions and we got in the Bus, There was in total four bus for four classes.
In the bus I sat on the seat with the window
And The Our trip began. This Trip was of 1 week in total.
The academy bus rattled along the road, students' chatter filling the air. Some laugh loudly at the back, others exchange snacks, while teachers sit at the front trying to keep order. In the middle row, I sat by the window, Phoebe beside me. Nolan and Vivi are in the row ahead, Lex and Lily behind. The bus hums with energy.]
From the row in front I heard Vivi and Nolan chatting.
Vivi in a gentle tone "Nolan, did you bring that sketchbook you mentioned?"
Nolan grinned sheepishly "Yeah… but it's nothing special."
"I still want to see later."
Their conversation blended into the noise. I glances out at the blur of trees and road, then back at Phoebe. She sat with arms crossed, gaze forward, ignoring the commotion.
"You're not joining in?" I said with continuing to look out of window.
Phoebe Flatly replied.
"Wasting energy on pointless noise isn't my style."
I smirked and said while glancing back at my seat "Noise… huh."
From the back seats, Lex and Lily's voices cut through the chatter.
Lex's voice cut through the chatter with a hint of annoyance "Would you stop kicking my seat already?"
To which Lily replied with mocking innocence "Oh, was that your seat? My bad."
The classmates around them laugh, some cheering on the argument like it's entertainment. Phoebe shakes her head faintly, her voice low enough that only I heard.
Then Phoebe said in a even tone "Predictable. They'll argue until the teachers threaten them, then act like nothing happened."
I chuckled "You sound like you've seen this a hundred times."
Phoebe glanced at me, calm "Because I have."
A teacher at the front raises his voice, scolding Lex and Lily. The bus quiets slightly before noise resumes.
The ride to Ishtara mountain was going take 1 and a half day.
'Might as well enjoy.'
After the pain in the ass journey, We arrived.
