Akademic Results | Scaramouche (Wanderer) x Reader

"You should be happy you didn't feel the wrath of the Raiden Shogun." I hear the all too familiar voice. "When will you lighten up about this? It's been years, Scaramouche. Let it go." I state and he gets even more upset. "You would never say that if you knew. You've been so lucky, everything handed out to you. The amount of things you've been given, achievements you've done. I've had none of that!" He yells and I don't flinch a bit. "I understand, but there was nothing I could do!" I yell back. "You don't need to worry about that. I know a way to make you understand." He says before fading away. Why can't he just let it go....

I blink a lot and see Aether and Paimon walking in. "Sorry about that. We had to fight an Abyss Herold." I raise an eyebrow at Paimon's statement. "Why is one of those here?" I ask and they shrug. Haypasia comes to and we hand her the letter from Tighnari. They start to talk about Lesser Lord Kusanali, and I don't listen because it doesn't concern me. I'm only here to help Aether on his journey, whilst finishing my own. I notice she hasn't eaten her food yet, so I interrupt. "I'm sorry, but please say the food before continuing." I interject while handing her the box. "Oh your right, my bad!" She smiles while starting to scarf down her food. With that, I take the box back and they continue their conversation.

We come back to the village, to see what looks like scholars asking Tighnari to join the Akademyia. "I'm not going to the Akademyia. I have duties here as a forest ranger. You also don't have a certain time when I would be returning, sage Khajeh." He retorts. We walk a little closer and the before mention sage looks shocked to see me. He runs up to my and looks me dead in the eyes. "You look exactly like him...did he have a friend made the same way as him?" The sage asks himself. "Listen sir, I have no clue what you're saying, but please back up." I say pushing him back lightly. He sighs before rounding up and leaving. We then walk up to Tighnari, who Aether asks if he can help them meet Lesser Lord Kusanali. "Yes I can. I will help you through an acquaintance I have in the city." He says making Aether and Paimon rather happy. "Go see Collei off, and I'll let you be on your way. You both seem much better." I wave to Tighnari and he waves back.

I walk into Collei's room to see her writing something. I knock on the wall to get her attention and she jumps up to see us. "Oh! Are you leaving already?" She asks kind of sadly. "We are. It was wonderful to meet you." I say and the other two nod. Collei waves them bye and I tell them I'll meet them outside. As soon as they leave, she hugs me tightly. "I'll miss you Y/n." She says and I hug her back. "I'll miss you too. I'm glad I could cheer you up. Please, be careful and take care of yourself. I'm sure I'll see you again." I say and she nods. We then waves and I meet the others outside.

As we find the entrance of Sumeru City, a very outgoing man gives us an Akasha Terminal. I put it on and I don't really like it. I let it go and keep it on. "Tighnari wrote the address of Rohawi's house. Oh, looks like it's not too far from the entrance!" Paimon says as she starts to float away. We follow her until we reach Rohwai's house. Aether knocks on the door and a man with light brown hair and glasses comes out. We explain the situation and ask about Lesser Lord Kusanali. Sadly he didn't know anything, so Aether decided we should ask Katheryne. We walk to where she was standing. We ask her what she knows but she also knows nothing. "Try Asfand. He and the Eremites work all across Sumeru so they might know something." I say and they agree. We reach out destination and as him about the god. He states that the Eremites know a lot less as they aren't religious and have less need for it. "The Akademyia only upholds Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and not Kusanali as the former created Sumeru." He explains. We thank him for the information before starting to roam around the city, with the two lamenting the lack of information they found.
