Leon Greyrat: The Second Son - Mushoku Tensei OC

Chapter 58 - Silent Seven Stars

"— And this is our alchemy lab, at least for the first-year classes. This class is very popular for many students as it does not require a knowledge of magic, at least at the beginning, while still giving some insights into mana's uses," the professor who was acting as our guide said, motioning to a room full of various flasks and vials.

Looking down at Norn, I could tell from the way her eyes sparkled slightly that she was interested.

Perhaps my sister would become a cute little alchemist?

Maybe...

As one might expect, I was currently walking my sisters through the school, enjoying a tour of the large academy and all it had to offer.

Oh, and Ariel and her group were here too, of course.

Honestly, I was quite impressed with the place, as it had much more to offer than I initially thought.

It really had something for everything.

I was even interested in some courses myself.

Maybe I could become a student after getting Mama back?

I wouldn't want to be the only sibling to not have an education, after all.

That would set a bad example.

But anyway, I was glad.

Not only had I spotted a couple girls around Norn and Aisha's age, a thing that I was worried about, but the academy also had a lot to offer in activities and subjects past the basic magic that my sisters might enjoy.

In fact, while they had tried to hide it, I could already see some building excitement in their expressions that sometimes came out in an excited smile, like with Aisha when we saw the botany class and Norn when we visited the library.

It was as cute as it was relieving.

Either way, I was confident that the two of them would be able to find something they enjoyed, and as for friends, while they would be a few years younger than most of their classmates, they were more mature for their age anyway, so I didn't think that would be a problem.

As we continued to walk through the impressive-looking halls, we were soon interrupted by a familiar face.

"Brother? What are- Oh! Is this that tour you were talking about earlier?" Rudy said.

"Yeah, but I didn't think you mentioned going to class today," I said. "What's up with that?"

"Oh, well, I had to meet vice-principal Jinas and explain that I'd be taking a year off," he said, rubbing the back of his head. "And as for right now... well, I'm going to tell the same to my friends."

Nodding my head, I then looked at my sisters, who were both still acting a little awkward around our shared brother.

We had already talked earlier today about the changes in the plan, and how they would be staying with Ariel and Sylphy instead of their brother.

Luckily, they didn't seem that upset, and were in fact, they seemed a little relieved that they would be in the care of people they were familiar with.

But on the other hand... it also meant that they wouldn't be using the time to bond with their long-lost brother.

Ah, well... that could happen later, like with Mama and Lilia.

And at least their relationship wasn't as strained as it was with their father. I had a feeling that would be an annoying mess to clean up.
