《Five Elements Academy: A Tale Of Magic》Chapter 8: Onwards to The Weekend
Advertisement
(PDV 3° person)
Umbra entered the mansion followed by his wolves. When he gets in, he sees a maid walking by. She immediately notices him, and then bows, saying:
(Maid): “Welcome back, Master.”
Umbra smiled and said:
(Umbra): “I’m home, Athena. Did you stop calling me young Master?”
Athena smiled. She’s a fifteen years old girl, with long, straight amber hair and hazel eyes, with pale white skin and relatively small breasts. She’s wearing a classical maid outfit, black dress with a white apron with frills on her shoulders and in the edges of the white apron, as well on the bottom of the long skirt.
She’s also wearing one of those arcs with frills on her head low black shoes. Her height is around 1,70 meters. She smiles at Umbra’s words.
(Athena): “Well, Master Umbra has left home, after all. Master Umbra is the Master of the house, not Lucas-sama, and since I have chosen to follow Master Umbra as his Head Maid, it’s only natural to call you Master instead of Young Master.”
Umbra laughs and before he could talk, and then Athena says:
(Athena): “A warm bath at the bathroom on your room?”
(Umbra): “How did you…”
(Athena): “Well, since Master has brought Anu and Padomay home he has been drenched in droll every time he gets home, so a bath is a give!”
(Umbra): “That’s my head maid for you. Please, prepare the bath as I get some fruit to eat in the kitchen.”
Athena bows and walks upstairs as Umbra goes to the kitchen, being followed by his wolves. Giving them some treats and eating an apple, he pets Anu and Padomay. Sniffing the air, he says:
(Umbra): “I definitely will give you both a good bath this weekend.”
Padomay whimpers while Anu barks and wags her tail. Umbra chuckles, and walk to his room, followed by the wolves. Those two follow him everywhere since he got them when they were just recently born pups one year ago on Russia.
He did actually raise them as a parent, and they see him as a pack leader. As he gets to his room, Athena comes out, saying:
(Athena): “Master, you bath is ready.”
(Umbra): “Thank you, Athena. I’ll eat dinner after the bath.”

(Athena): “Yes, Master.”
She says, walking away. Umbra goes in his room. There’s a king-sized bed, with metal reinforcements for both wolves be able to lay on it without breaking the bed, a widescreen TV that’s absolutely enormous, and under it, there is a shelf with a lot of consoles from various generation, from PS2, nintendo 64, ps3, xbox, ps4, etc.
Beside the TV there is another large shelf, with a lot of games, even the latest releases. The closes his door after both wolves enter the room and lay down in the bed. Going into the bathroom that’s on a door in the side of the room, throws his clothes in the dirty clothes bind and immediately enters the bathroom.
After washing himself, he sinks into the bathtub. Releasing a groan, he says to himself.
(Umbra): “Finally, some rest… spending the last nights working wasn’t easy at all…”
Taking a remote that’s on a small table besides the bathtub, he turns on the 72 inches widescreen TV that’s hanging on the wall. Yeas, Umbra has a TV on his bathroom. Every morning he likes to take a long bath while watching the news.
After a few minutes wasting his time in the bath, he finally decides to get out when his stomach starts growling. Going out, he takes dries himself and goes out while drying his hair and put some comfortable clothes. After the dinner, he went to bed, laying down on the bed with the wolves leaning on him.
(a few days later, during Saturday)
Serena woke up early on the Saturday, she and Maria would go out with Ari, their new best friend. They were a bit awkward in the beginning, but soon they created a deep friendship. Ari was just like any other girl, and he was quite a good advisor too.
They didn’t have anything planned, the primary objective of hang out was to explore the White District to see if there is something interesting to do. After they put some casual clothes, they go to meet Ari.
They meet up in the commerce center of the White District.
(Ari): “Hello girls! How are you doing?”
(Maria): “We’re doing fine, Ari. And you?”
(Ari): “Me too.”
They talk a bit as they walk together, looking for stores to buy something or to eat. However, they barely find three stores worth visiting.

(Serena): “There isn’t a lot in this island…”
(Ari): “Well, the island is new after all. I guess that there isn’t a lot of people willing to start a business here yet.”
(Maria): “A shame, it would be nice to have some stores that are focused in selling to teens.”
(Ari): “Well, most of the population is young and are the students of the academy after all.”
After an hour walking without finding anything, they quickly get bored. They sit on a bench that’s on one of the many squares.
(Serena): “If I knew that it would be this boring I would have suggested something different…”
(Maria): “There’s nothing to do here…”
(Ari): “Hey, Maria, Serena, are you both into games?”
Ari asks, surprising both girls. Serena is the first one to answer.
(Serena): “I’m into RPGs and survival.”
(Maria): “Me too. Although I also like an FPS from time to time.”
She says. Ari laughs, saying:
(Ari): “Oh my, oh my, who would know that the princess of England would like to play videogames!”
Serena blushes and says:
(Serena): “Games are a good way to blow off steam, ok? And my dad likes games, and taught me how to play since I was young!”
She says, puffing her cheeks. Ari just laughs while Maria says:
(Maria): “And for me, I always liked games since my dad gave me a console when I was a little girl.”
(Serena): “Why the question?”
Ari smiles and says, with a cheerful tone:
(Ari): “As far as I know Umbra has a great collection of games, and I know for sure that he’s an gaming addict. I know where his place is, do you girl want to crash there?”
They look at each other and just shrug.
(Serena): “Sure, why not?”
They get up and start walking. As they walk, Maria notices a few cars on the streets. White and round, it looks more like a white, round box over four wheels with windows. However, the strangest thing that she noticed is that there wasn’t a space for a motor. And also, she noticed that the people inside were sitting facing each other in both edges of the car, as if the entire space of the car was dedicated for passengers.
(Maria): “What the hell are those cars? I never saw something like that before…”
Ari, noticing what she’s talking about, says:
(Ari): “I think that is the free public transport… let me see…”
He says, taking his SG and looking for something. After a few taps and swipes, he says:
(Ari): “Ah, here is the explanation, they updated it today. Let me see… ‘today, the iDontWalk system is online once more. After we finally finished with the adjustment on the system to support all of the new students, you can now request a ride from your Student Guide or you Citizen Key for free, no matter how many times to transit around the Five Elements City. Just download our app and request a car, and you will be ready to go.’ Is what it says.”
(Serena): “iDontWalk… that’s an interesting name…”
(Ari): “From what I heard, these cars were being updated and they were making more to be able to attend all the city without taking more than 30 seconds.”
(Serena): “Eh~, how cool. Let’s take one then!”
(Ari): “Sure. I just downloaded the app, let me call it.”
Ten seconds after he calls the car, it stops by, just in front of them on the street. The doors open by themselves, revealing the interior of the car. It looks more like a small room with wheels, with a center table and four luxurious and comfortable spinning chairs.
Sitting inside the car, with Maria and Serena in one side and Ari in the other, the doors close by themselves and a voice comes out from the ceiling.
(car): “Welcome to the driverless car from the iDontWalk. Please, Miss Ari, select your destination on the table.”
On the round table, a hologram of the city appears. Ari touches the area that’s selected as White District, and the map zooms. With his hand, he moves the map and selects Umbra’s house. The car then says:
(car): “You have selected the residence of Umbra Vane as your destiny. Please, enjoy the ride.”
