The Promise of Forever | Yae Miko x Reader | Genshin Impact

The Lakes

After all the tests, you see your friends tiredly walk out of the door, sighing deeply as you contemplate on whether or not you should go with them or stay in the classroom for a while to just wait until the coast is clear and free. Suddenly, you remember that you should be searching for ways on how to make Miko's dreams come true.

You look around your classroom, remaining on your seat. There weren't any books about dispelling of curses, but, they might be present in the library. Your eyes then wander around but then pause at the blond male sitting at the teacher's desk, checking papers as he was shifting his glasses. 

You then recall all the rumors about the teachers and apparently, this one... is known to be a super genius. Some are even saying that the word genius was made specifically for him. You hesitate but then decide that there shouldn't be any harm in asking a simple question.

"Um, Professor Albedo..?" You get his attention, making him look up at you and smile. You only then see the amount of work he has to get done. But, since you've already caught his attention, there's really no going back.

"Is something wrong, (y/n)?" He asks, having a cheery smile on his face. Even with the amount of work he has to do, he still looked calm, relaxed, and happy. Seems like the papers he had right now were nothing but child's play. In any case, you snapped out of it, remembering what you wanted to do.

"This might be a sudden question but, do you know anything about curses?" You ask, hoping and praying that he might know a thing or two about them. Well of course he does since it's one of the subjects derived from dark magic but, Miko's curse is practically... ancient.

"...Given your expression, I can tell this is a personal matter so, I won't press further. Answering your question, yes, I do know about curses." He says, having a smirk on his face as he lays his back on the soft chair he's sitting on. You shift your facial expression, hoping that it's a little happier than what he noticed.

"Then... do you know how to break them?" You ask, watching your tone as you didn't want to come off as rude or impatient. His expression then changed into a more serious one. Realizing that this might be diverging into a whole lesson, you take a chair and silently sit down in the space in front of his table.

"Curses can only be broken if the caster themselves do it or a more powerful being will do it." He says and you sigh inside your head, casting that as practically impossible since the caster is probably dead, and there's probably no one you can contact that is more powerful than a literal being from a hundred years ago. Maybe a god but, they surely don't have time.
