chapter 2: A warm welcome
Harith's POV
"Excuse me, can yo-" "I'm not wasting my time on you" the man said, not even looking at the poor girl. She reminds me of when I first got here...
"Excuse me sir, do you know-" "out of the way!"
"Excuse me ma'am, do you know-" "I'm not wasting time on you, you worthless *****"
I sighed. I looked back at her to see tears in her eyes. I frowned. I don't like how they ignore the younger ones and help the older ones. The next man she approached pushed her to the ground and kicked her. I gasped at the sight. "Hey! Stop that!" I yelled "shit! It's you again! I'm out!" He exclaimed running. I walked over the the girl and bent down.
"Hey, are you okay?" I asked her "no, I'm not. I've been shoved, pushed ignored, kicked, yelled at. What's next?! I suppose you'll do the same" she said starting to cry.
I felt bad for her. She had it worse than I did. I was only shoved and yelled at, not to mention swearing. But she was kicked, multiple times even.
"Dry those tears. I'm not like them. You really remind me of when I first got here" I said
"really?" She asked "yeah, but, I see you've had it worse. I wasn't kicked at all" I said "anyways, what do you need help with?" I asked "I want to know my way around the place. I also want to find my room" she said
"oh! That's easy! What's your room number?" I asked "16B" she said "that's perfect! It's my room too!" I exclaimed "wait, isn't it illegal for two of the opposite genders to share a room?" She asked
"well, yeah. But, these rooms aren't much of rooms. They're basically a huge house two people will share. Usually opposite genders are chosen to share. I'm pretty sure it's because girls usually keep the house tidy. I've been living alone for a while now. It would be good to finally have a roommate!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, I guess it would be nice!" She exclaimed. "C'mon, let's go" I said starting to walk to the house.
We got to the house, yet she didn't seem phased. Unlike me, I was surprised when I first got here. "Hey, um, why aren't you surprised?" I asked her. "Well, I was born into the Vance family, a very wealthy family I should say. Our house is actually bigger. I'm surprised none of us ended up as a spoiled brat" she said "I see, why don't you come in, I'll lead you to your room" I said
I lead her to her room and opened the door. Upon looking at it, her eyes sparkled. "How is it already decorated the way I wanted it to be?!" She exclaimed, her eyes still sparkling.
I chuckled.'cute', wait, what am I thinking?! I just met her! But she is cute... Ah, I'll let it slide for the meantime.
"You should unpack. I'll leave you to it. After that, I'll tour you around the place. I'll even show you where we wait for battle. There, you can find out if you'll fight in the battle field or not" I said "alright, I'll be down in a few" she said
I walked downstairs and waited on the couch. I started to wonder what awaits. 'will she fight in the battle field? She seems too petite to do so. Then again, she did pass the test. It probably took her longer than I did. Eh, I'll ask her later' I thought. Then I realized, I forgot to introduce myself and ask her for her name. As if it was meant to be, she walked down the stairs and approached me.
"Great! Let's go. But before we do, I'm Harith, Harith Elven. Here, I'm known as time traveler. And you are?" "Y/n, Y/n Vance. I'd like to be known as magic's mistress, or mistress of magic." She said.
"Alright, let's go" I said. We walked out the door and I decided to start a conversation.
"So... You must be the sister of Harley and Lesley Vance if I'm correct" I stated "yes, yes I am. You must be the brother of Nana and Miya Elven?" She asked "yes, I am! How did you know?" I asked, shocked she knew. "Well, I've heard stuff..." She said "alright then... How long did it take you to finish the test?" I asked "surely quicker than you did" she said "oh yeah? If you must know, I set the record of finishing it in 3 minutes!' I stated "yeah, and I beat you. I did it in one." She said. At that, my jaw dropped. "How?" I asked "you'll see..." She said. 'mysterious, I like it' I thought.
I finished showing her around and brought her to the board. I looked at it and saw that she WOULD be fighting.
"Hmm... Let's see... You'll be fighting for... The next fifty matches?!" I exclaimed. "Well, you are new... People would want to see how good you are..." I said "well, I'll probably dominate" she said "and why do you think so?" I asked "my specialty is burst damage and crowd control, why wouldn't I?" She said "Jesus! That's like, the deadliest possible specialty combo!" I exclaimed "yep" she said bluntly.
"May I ask, why was that man affraid of you?" She asked "well, he was one of the people who passed but were weak compared to the others, so he wasn't allowed to fight. Later on, he saw how strong I was, so he was scared of me. Everyone like him who mistreated me is. Maybe they'll be scared of you too." I said "hopefully..." She said looking down "hey, cheer up! I promise you, they will. Plus, your first match starts in a few!" I exclaimed as little lifted her head up by her chin. I just noticed, her face was kinda red. I wondered why until I noticed... Our faces were too close to each other.
I blushed at this. I moved away quickly, very embarrassed. "Uh... S-sorry..." I said "i-it's fine..." She said looking away. Man, this is embarrassed.
"Anyways, seems like we're gonna be on the same team for the next... Fifty... Matches... Boy, that's a lot." I said "yup, well, let's get ready." She said "sure, let's go to the waiting area" I said
