A new beginning
Days passed, and the Lesser Lord Kusanali has gained its authority as protector of the region.
The Sages who has been involved with the fatui and making if the False God has been punished and stripped away from their title.
The False God has been locked up under the orders of Lesser Lord Kusanali.
The Akasha terminal is no longer allowed to use, and it is now held in the Alademiya.
Cyno accepted the position as General Mahamatra again, Aaru village is recieving the help they need.
Many things changed, including...
"You have been nominated to become a Grand Sage?" Y/N exclaimed as she watched Al Haitham get ready.
As he done that, he also told her about the news he recieved.
"Yes, I did." He answered before grabbing the book he likes reading so much
She sat down on the arm chair of the 3 friends' house and stared at him.
"Did you accept it?" She asked.
Al Haitham looked at her, she looked adorable sitting on the chair while her head is tilted a bit on the side as she stared at him.
He hid the small pink tint in his cheeks by looking out the window.
"Of course..."
"...Not."
Her eyes widen, but soon fell as a smirk replaced it.
"Let me guess, now into leadership?" She simply said.
The Scribe gave her a smirk back and nodded, knowing she already knew about him.
Sometimes he can be easily be read.
"How about you? Now that the sages has been punished, what are you going to do?"
He asked walking toward her slowly.
Y/N's thoughts started to move and gazed upwards, recollecting her thoughts.
'What will I do?'
The Grand Sage is gone, and got the punishment they recieve. Nothing can control her from now on.
But then.. what happens next?
"Maybe... Stay as a forest ranger." She answered honestly.
The silver haired man crossed his arms, "Oh?"
"Yeah, there are still withering zones here and there." She reminded him, subconsciously twirling her the stand of her hair on her finger.
A habit that her friends noticed when she feels relaxed.
"Besides, I want to explore the desert aswell. Maybe even join Cyno when I get the chance."
Al Haitham felt a small twitch of jealousy inside him, when she mentioned the General.
Even if him and Cyno worked together when saving the Archon, they still have disagreements here and there.
"Cyno, huh?" He calmly wondered, wanting to know her answer.
She smiled slightly, "Yes, of course. I mean, I wanna train more to enhance my skills with the polearm. We could also play TCG when we get the cha-!"
Her words were cut off when The Scribe slammed his arms on either side of the armchair, causing Y/N to leaned back against the the the cushion.
Al Haitham pinned her against the couch. His eyes narrowed at her ambers one and the two stared.
Y/N was shocked, she never seen Al Haitham act like this before. Just the mention of Cyno could already make him mad.
"W-What are you doing?!" She questioned as he leaned closer to her.
The man smirked leaned closer to her ear, his breath sending shivers down her spine.
"Sometimes, you get so annoying everytime you mention him." He whispered to her ear, his lips touching the sell of her ear softly.
"Next time, I want you to pay attention to me only." He said before burrying his face to her neck causing the girl to hold his arms suddenly.
She gasped, "Pay attention to you?! Stop it."
"Of course, besides... I like you, not as a friend..." He replied back giving her neck a simple kiss before pulling away like nothing happened.
He looked at the flustered girl who was staring at him with her wide eyes, completely confused.
Nodding his head, he grabbed his key before heading off.
"I'm going to the library in the Akademiya. I'll see you around flower." He called out before closing the door of the house.

"Excuse me? He did what?" Nilou exclaimed when she met up with Y/N at the Grand Bazaar.
Y/N told the events this morning with Al Haitham, she was confused. The only person she could as was Nilou, luckily she found her practicing some dance steps.
Before that actually, Nilou invited some of their friends to celebrate for releasing the Archon, the traveler went around Sumeru to re invite their friends after not receiving any reply from the letters.
"Yes, and he just left." Y/N finished.
Nilou pulled Y/N down to sit down on the steps, "Ehem, does Sir Al Haitham do any more actions similar to that?" She asked carefully.
Y/N frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Like you know, physical contact, nicknames, and other?"
"Well he kept calling me 'flower', he gives me hugs, kisses my forehead before I go back to Gandharva Ville or somewhere else I go to an expedition, but he does all of that as a friend... Right?" She listed off then questioned Nilou who was smiling widely.
"W-Why are you looking at me like that?" Y/N loudly questioned, which caused Nilou to laugh.
She giggled and said, "It looks like Sir Al Haitham has a crush on you?"
"What in the Archon's name does that mean?" She questioned again.
"I thought your a scholar in Sumeru? Aren't you smart?!" Nilou yelled back.
"Yes, I'm smart! But I haven't heard of that term!"
"It means he likes you! Or even clearer... He loves you!"
