Chapter 725 246 - Showy Entrance Is A Must (Part 3)
"Grrr...!"
As they stood there, two more beings showed up from inside the dormitory building causing Hachiko to bear her fangs as her tail dropped.
Two massive brown wolves of which each at least twice or even three times as big as the dark-brown wolf belonging to the healer magician... and Hachiko already was much bigger than the average specimen of her kin.
Each of the massive wolves sat up straight right next to the brown-haired girls.
...even while sitting, the monsters were much taller than the girls they were next to...
The monsters were females just like Hachiko but if put into comparison, Burushi\'s armored wolf with her teeth flashing and her fur bristled seemed like a bandit-turned bodyguard while the perfectly calm wolves next to the brown-haired girls were more like stoic palace guards.
"..."
Burushi returned the hostile glare while biting her lips and taking a deep breath.
"Lady Leveo Tallaran, lady Teofee Tallaran... It is an honor to have both of you greet me."
After some mental preparation the blond-haired girl curtsied and greeted her seniors... and half-sisters...
"Hello, lady Kallerontte."
The girl in the female school uniform responded and also curtsied although her dark expression didn\'t improve at all.
"Burushi Kallerontte. Don\'t fool yourself into thinking that we came here for you."
The girl in the male school uniform scoffed, straightening her back and putting one hand on her hip to show her annoyance.
"In that case, if you don\'t mind me asking... What business do you have with me? If it is about healing, it would be better to discuss the matter privately."
Burushi bowed her head doing her best to not let her emotions get the better of her and suggested while keeping up the polite speech.
"No. It is not about the healing."
"But thank you for the offer."
The girl in the male school uniform continued being angry but the one in the female school uniform seemed to get appeased a little bit.
"Leveo!"
"..."
...which earned her an angry stare from her younger sister, which she didn\'t reciprocate and simply looked the other way...
|Just like before, it\'s Teo who hates me and Veo who kind of likes me or at least doesn\'t actually mind me at all. Wait, no, Teofee and Leveo, I need to use their current names...|
Burushi thought to herself watching her half-siblings.
Rather than argue or fight with them she would much prefer to have a relatively normal relationship.
After all, even though their father was a cheating scum why should the three of them hate each other?
Burushi didn\'t feel guilty in the slightest about being born – not to mention that she actually reincarnated and was on her second season of living in the world from the otome game.
She really didn\'t feel like dealing with any additional shit.
Not to mention that in this timeline Teofee and Leveo not only weren\'t just attendants but straight-up nobles, but the two of them were also well-known variant magicians with conjoined mana reservoirs.
Yes, Burushi remembered that originally the two of them were earth magicians, but with the unfortunate circumstances, they went through never happening their attributes seem to be affected.
Teofee ended up being a variant metal magician while her older sister Leveo\'s golem creation attribute allowed her to conjure artificial earth and stone elementals that bested any earth and stone puppets that standard earth magicians dared to call golems.
The twins became truly famous when the Marigottie – a city-state directly neighboring the Tallaran territory – launched a surprise attack at the village recently turned town that was their home.
The two of them stood on the frontline together with the fearless ice-attribute-wielding knight serving in their land.
Just successfully defending the newly established territory from the forces of enemies that outnumbered them not just twice or thrice but more than a couple of dozen would be enough to make them famous...
...but because of the wrath of the ice knight who froze and sliced his way through the previously impregnable defense of Marigottie and cut off their ruler\'s head, the Tallaran territory actually managed to capture the city-state and offered it to the king of the Bellcephora kingdom as a tribute.
Needless to say, nowadays the Tallaran territory\'s capital was in the previous Marigottie fortress and the Tallarans initial status of low nobles was raised. A rumor about the Tallaran family being granted the honor of a middle name in the not-so-distant future was going around certain circles.
All that said... Burushi might have earned a lot of favors from the aristocrats, but never once was she called to the royal castle and have an audience with the current king while Leveo and Teofee were.
"Please forgive me if I am coming off as rude, but if you aren\'t here to greet me nor to request healing... what is your reason for coming to see me?"
Burushi shook her head getting rid of the thoughts that didn\'t really help her in the current predicament and asked.
"The man who is lucky enough to be our father. When he will get kicked out of the Tallaran family... do not help him."
"...!"
Teofee declared with a grim expression and Burushi could only blink in utter confusion.
"Pardon...?"
The dual attribute magician shook her head again and inquired, leaning forward not believing her ears.
"When Modari Tallaran will get divorced from our mother and stripped from the noble title, do not help him. Just so you know, your mother isn\'t the only woman he cheated on our mother with. Do not offer him any help."
"It would be great if you complied with this request, lady Kallerontte."
Teofee explained very clearly intending for everyone else to hear her too while Levoe made eye contact with Burushi and actually smiled.
|...so... so it\'s not about me but about pa...?|
"HOLD ON, DID YOU JUST SAY THAT THAT SCUMBAG HAD EVEN MORE WOMEN?!"
Burushi thought to herself in surprise before the information truly settled in and caused her to blow up in pure anger.
"AFTER MAKING A FOOL OUT OF MY NAIVE MOTHER...! I WILL PHYSICALLY CASTRATE THE FUCKER THE NEXT TIME HE DARES TO SHOW UP IN FRONT OF ME!"
"Master...!"
Burushi raged so violently that both Geroizen and Metvicero had to hold her back.
"...pff... ehem... I see we are in agreement. I hope you will have a good time in the Academy, lady Kallerontte."
"See ya~!"
Seeing a reaction that wasn\'t that different from her own, Teveo snickered and masked it as a cough before nodding at her half-sister, and after Levoe cheerfully said her goodby both the twins and their wolves walked towards the main Academy building as others made way for them.
"...hah... that was way better than what I expected..."
After a minute or so of making a scene, Burushi breathed out and declared while straightening her uniform.
"Young lord Victureo, after you."
Even then she didn\'t enter the dormitory building and even though Geroizen opened the door for her she didn\'t walk in but rather stepped aside and made way for Grazio.
"...hmph..."
The red-haired boy scoffed not even acknowledging the gesture and stormed inside where he could finally hide from the gazes of the other students.
"Idiot."
"You mean worthless trash."
Metavicero grumbled under her breath but was heard and corrected by Burushi.
As their group finally got inside the building the crowd of other students began to thin out.
When there were only a few people left in front of the dormitory, a certain red-haired girl and a boy wearing a porcelain mask showed up at the Academy\'s main gate...
