The beautiful morning sky , as the sun rise , the kingdom were filled with people opening their stalls and thousands of people coming through the gate

Knocks

May stood guard by Ria's instruction not to let any intruder in

May-"Neo it's morning , please wake up and come down to eat before you go to school"

May heard from Ria that he is a advance warrior from Mr.Bui's class , so she was instructed to support him.

Neo-"Yes...coming...zz"

Sven woke up and jumps on top of Neo's chest

Neo-"Hmm..for some reason.. whenever I have that dream.. I always fall into long slumber.."

Neo who is used to sleep only a couple of hours at night felt really tired as he woke up this morning

Neo-"Ugh.. how do people sleep for 7 hours straight.."

Sven-"Raawwrrr"

Sven kept jumping on top of Neo as he try to wake him up

Neo-"Wahh Sven , I understand , food! let's go eat , but we have to bath first"

Sven turned into a blur , he quickly jump off from the balcony

Splash

Neo-"Hehehe Sven"

Neo quickly got out of bed and head into the bathroom

Cyel-"Good morning little Neo!"

As Neo came down the stairs , Cyel quickly held him in her arms

Neo-"Guhud mning sster Cyel*My.. breath*"

May-"Cyel , I think you could let Neo go now , Neo has a long days ahead..no.. aslong he is in MrBui's class.."

Cyel-"But..but.. It's your fault for not letting me in!"

May-"I was just protecting Neo"

Cyel-"Hmm fine.."

Neo and Cyel sat down and began to eat

Neo-"Sister Cyel , where is sister Ria?"

Cyel-"Hmmm , she haven't left her room yet"

Knocks

May-"Hello , Ria is still asleep but please come in"

It was Ria's 2 best friends , Mii and Saya

Mii-"Good morning May and this Ria.. what would happened to her if we weren't there for her.."

Saya-"Mhmm.. let's .. wake her up..we have to hurry"

May-"Please do"

Sven quickly came through the window and pounce on the table

Cyel-"Ah , Sven..he got bigger?"

Neo-"Really?.. he looks the same to me"

Cyel-"Hehehe that is because you 2 are always....always.. together..*not fair*"

As Cyel poutted , she notice 2 girls coming into the house

Mii-"Good morning sister Cyel and little Neo!"

Saya-"Uhm.. good..good morning sister Cyel and.. Neo....and .. Sven"

Cyel-"Ah! Good morning girls! Ria is still upstairs , give her a good lesson ehehehe"

Neo-"Good morning Mii and Saya! come on Sven , you have to say hi too"

Neo held Sven who had a piece of meat in his mouth

Sven-"Rwrwrwrrw"

Saya-"Ah..."

Mii-"Oh , Sven grew bigger.. I guess is normal for tigers to grow fast right Saya?"

Saya-"I.. think so.."

Mii-"Anyway! We have to get Ria or we will be late for our meetings!"

Mii and Saya ran upstairs

Neo-"Sister Cyel..is this meeting important?"

Cyel-"Mhmm..I don't really know when is her meetings but I know that she is the 2nd years council president"

Neo-"Hmm.. sister Ria is late.. for such late meetings.."

Neo quickly stood up and ran toward the stairs , Sven who soon noticed his face , quickly jumps on his shoulder

Mii-"Ria!?"

Mii scream echoed through the house and they all rush into Ria's room

Mii-"Ria , what happened?!"

Ria on the floor beside her door , her face became very pale as she breath through her mouth

Neo quickly arrives in her room , notice Ria laying on the floor , he quickly ran to the windows and baclony door

Neo-"*It's locked.. no one came in..*"

May and Cyel arrived together

May gets down and rest Ria onto her bed

May-"She has a unusual fever.."

Saya-"Unusual..?"

May-"Yes , her body temperature is very hot , too hot for a fever.. they don't developp this kind of heat over one night.."

May quickly left the room , quickly came back with some tools and blankets

May-"I will watch over Ria , you all have to go to class"

Mii-"Okay.. please take care of her.."

Neo was worried as he take a closer look , he notice that she is still wearing the necklace

Neo-"Ah"

Without a thought , Neo , from Ria's neck , he put his hand into her shirt

Mii and Saya turned around as they heard Neo

Cyel-"Ah..Neo.. if you wanted to touch them.. you could of-"

As Cyel talk emberassingly , Neo held out the crystal with his hand

Neo quickly lifted the necklace away from Ria and looks at Cyel with a worried face

Cyel-"Mii , Saya , go on ahead to the meetings"

Mii and Saya nodded and left

Cyel held out her hands and pats them on Neo's cheeks

Cyel-"What is it Neo?"

Neo-"I think.. the necklace has something to do with this.."

Neo explained about Fleur's reaction when she also held the necklace and he also insisted that it glows blue

Cyel-"Could it be.. a cursed artifact..?"

May-"But.. Neo , weren't you wearing it yesterday?"

Neo-"Mhmm.. and I didn't feel anything bad"

Neo then decided to tell them he found the necklace in a sealed container

Cyel-"A sealed artifact on the first floor..? Let's go Neo , we have to go see grand pa Lest , May , take care of Ria"

May-"Yes"

Neo was surprised by Cyel serious reaction

Neo-"Yes.."

Cyel quickly held Neo's hand and left the house

As they arrived early at school , Cyel and Neo were told that Lest left the kingdom last night

Cyel-"Mhmm.. grand pa Lest is gone again.."

Gessi-"I am sorry"

Cyel-"It's okay , it wasn't urgent"

As Cyel and Neo turns around , Gessi quickly called him out

Gessi-"Ah , Neo .. Erhm..before principal left , he instructed me to reward your team..so.. if you could.. bring your friends over to the office...for the rewards.."

Gessi felt guilty as she was finally convinced by principal Lest to test Neo's ability.

Cyel-"Rewards..?"

Gessi-"Yes.. principal Lest is the one who decided.."

Cyel-"Well we should be leaving now since class is starting soon*Hmm grandpa Lest really adores little Neo huh.."

Cyel and Neo said their good byes to Gessi

Cyel-"Little Neo.. I need my energy.."

As they reach the main hall , Cyel held Neo into her arms

Neo-"Uhm..Yes sister Cyel"

Neo held his sister as other students watched them

??-"...Those girls are beautiful"

??-"Isn't she a 3rd year.. what is she doing here?"

??-"Hehehe.. what are they doing ... in public.."

Female students were blushing at the sight of Neo and Cyel while male students kept staring at them

Fleur-"Ah , isn't that Neo?"

Fayn-"You are right , Neo!"

Neo grasp for air

Neo-"Hua..hua.. Hey Fayn , hello Fleur , are you okay now?"

Fleur blushed and replied

Fleur-"Y..yes.. mistress told me about last night.. thank you Neo.. I am fine now and I am so sorry.."

Neo-"Mhmm , I am glad I could help"

Sven-"Rawrrr!"

Fayn-"*what about me..*"

Cyel-"This is...?"

Cyel looked at Fleur

Fleur-"Ah.. Nice to meet you , I am Fleur.. Neo's classmates and friend"

Cyel stared at her closely

Cyel-"Hmmm... I am Cyel , Neo's sister"

*tingggg*

The first bell rang

Cyel-"Oh no , I will be late for my class , please take care of yourselves , and becareful Neo!"

Cyel kissed Neo's forhead and ran to the other end of the hall

Fleur-"Wah.. your sister is so pretty.."

Fayn-"Mhmm I agree.."

Neo-"Should we start planning for the 2nd floor?"

They both agreed with Neo and head to the school park.

After finishing all of their classes , they decided to go to the tower after school.

Lor-"Children.. ah yes , you are the slow ones from last night , 2nd floor today right?"

Fayn nodded and Lor pointed them at the staircase

Lor-"You may proceed to the 2nd floor , be careful"
