Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Letters.
With the first two messages already check; Khallyon opens the envelope, immediately seeing a solid Card and an embroided paper sheet, in the content, the cursive writing so characteristic of his Aunt Solange is unmistakable.
My ONLY MALE NEPHEW, By the moment you are reading this, I am sure you already are aware about the Personal Table I bought under your Name.
Please, don't get mad at This Mature Woman and make good use of it along with the Credit Shard attached in the envelope, as I have a couple of business to take care in Luodburg, and we would not have the occasion to discuss your Birthday Gift until I End The Deals with My Partners.
Have fun and Enjoy your Academy Life without forgetting your Studies and Practices, I Want you to be Better Than your Parents.
Always Your's, Solange Rwöllmör.
Anyone probably might think that what Khallyon just read is a bad taste joke; But the writing is full of hidden clues, since there are many words or phrases that his aunt Solange would never use, except on determined situations, too specific to be a mistake.
Being better than his Father is almost impossible, as he was Level 208 by the time he died; And the same applies to his Mother, since she possessed a Singularity Category 16, and Khallyon doesn't have a third of that, even when having a Singularity Category 2 is already really good, and he has a Singularity Category 5 to brag about.
{Solange put Mature, not Old; And is aware of how much I abhor with every particle in my body when she gives me Credits}
Luodburg is "The City" of commerce, not just the best option, as excels in the ambit by a large margin to the second place on this subject.
Nevertheless, Solange promise to Khallyon that she would never go to that City without him at her side, a promise that has never been broken; And is not different than saying, "I don't have any clue to what place I am being taken away".
{Aunt Solange mention my Birthday, so she is not in danger, but don't want me to contact her, as she never "Ends A Deal", just pause them until they are profitable again}
Khallyon grabs the solid Card and the Prefect whistle "Credit Shard!, That is good gift!, I got one from my mother when I entered in Tiaone, and another one after becoming a Prefect, add an Åyûrïc Node and you can activate the Shard, but do it quickly of anyone else can cash it".
{That is so like her!, *Sigh*, But if she let this, is because she genuinely can't look after me; In what type of situation her Sister put her into?!}
"I don't need to know Sharding?"; Asks Khallyon with reluctance to the gift his Aunt Solange left.
"No with Credits, Perennence, Tattoos or Talismans, But once activated, must be stored in your inventory or used, as is the case with the last two".
Khallyon still wants to reject the Credit Shard, However, he can't waste the income that his Aunt obtain on her own.
{I am not going to use it, and once we encounter again, I return everything}
The Young Man inputs an Åyûrïc Node in the Credit Shard, the item gets an ethereal apparency and merges with his left hand.
* +897,675 Real Quadrillions of Credits *
{Unbelievable!, 315 Millions for the Shard Package indeed was a menial amount of Credits for my Aunt!}
Taking a moment to regain his sanity, Khallyon prepares himself to open the Scented Diamond; Winning a dim grey graphite brightness due to the [Åyûrïc Field] as he imprints an Åyûrïc Node in the paper sheet rhombus; The design starts unfolding itself before the Cadet, showcasing a beautiful, girlish and more elaborated cursive writing.
Greetings, Khallyon Cravemeneer, First of all, let me apologize for investigate you, is not the way I wanted to properly introduce myself to you, yet, I couldn't contain my joy at knowing we are in the same Exploration Group.
I don't know if you are aware or not about the "Ten For Teammate" situation related to the Imperishable Monoliths; Whichever be the case, I would be visiting the Office of our Instructor at 22:30, I hope you can accompany me during the Explanation regarding Tomorrow's Schedule.
After the meeting, if is acceptable, I would like to have a light refreshment, only you and me in the Cafeteria, to know each other better and catch out the past.
Excited and happy to see you once again, "Etzchielle Sulltryen".
{Do we know each other?, I don't recall anyone with such name}
Khallyon deactivates the visibility of his [Åyûrïc Field] and the Scented Diamond retake its sealed shape.
{Nice trick}
"21:42" Seeing the hour in the Reception's Clock, Khallyon stands up from the waiting area, and walks out from the Iota Fraternity Tower, having enough time to advance slowly towards his destination, paying attention to the structure design, just in case there is another Passage he can spot during the stroll.
Obviously he arrives earlier than the hour mentioned, waiting in the corridor of Londra's Office, taking out his credential to pay more attention to the other designations.
‡ — ‡ IOTA FRATERNITY TOWER ‡ — ‡
Cadet ARSE-83 / "Cadet DICK-69"
Cadet RODE-55 / Cadet VVVV-77
Cadet DAME-42 / Cadet GWLC-57
Cadet CUNN-69 / Cadet SLUT-18
‡ — ‡ Instructor Lorna Anss'Thallyz ‡ — ‡
{"ARSE-83", is the only designation with "S" and "E", Although that doesn't tell me anything; As no matter how hard I try, I can't remember anyone whose name is the one written on the Scented Diamond}
"Khallyon!, You are already here!"; The surprise in the feminine sensual voice can't be faked or mistaken, as the intonation is familiar yet more mature and seductive.
Drived by curiosity, the Cadet turns to observe who is speaking; The Young Lady in question is undoubtedly a marvelous sight to admire, as Khallyon lost himself for an instant looking at her.
The Lady has a dark purple skin, with purple glossy puffy lips tempting others with the idea of kiss her, yet, that would be an absolute error, as this young woman is exuding Åyûrïc Energy from her body as if were an spendable and infinite resource.
"Indeed, I arrive early because I don't like to be late on anything, Ryenelle"…
