Reilly didn't say much as she was getting ready and I lazily exited my warm bed. For some reason my body felt heavy and I was exhausted even though I got enough hours of sleep. Side effect of the timeloop maybe? I was totally in no mood to go sit in the classes or study but I know I need to try and figure out this whole being-a-princess thing. I need some solid evidence that it is true, that Viysus and all of those legends about ancient gods are real. Did I hope that I will get a confirmation? Yes. But at the same time there was a ball of fear growing inside my chest for some reason. What happened that they've decided to ditch me on Earth and was it my fault? I will have more time to think about this if I get to the new Noion texts Professor Coldos received and will have a chance to study them. Now, I have to get my ass into the closet and pick and outfit which right now sounded like a very hard task since my head was foggy and I would rather sleep through the whole day rather than read some mummy-old books.
I didn't bother with my outfit and took only black skinny jeans, paired it with long-sleeve black turtleneck and I will get my leather ankle boots later. After I left the closet, Reilly was all done sitting in silence on one of the couches, dressed in a similar clothes that it almost looked like we planned to dress the same. But this warrior princess outfit looked better on Reilly more than it did on me. She did compliment my choice and joked if I am trying to steal her vibe. First words she directed at me since she greeted me with a good morning and some basic conversation then went silent. Is she mad at me? I wasn't aware of doing anything to anger her but maybe she was tired too? My body is exhausted probably more than hers after all those "beginners" exercises Reilly made me do, but the hot bath helped to relieve some of the tension in my muscles. Like Reilly mentioned, my legs are in a better shape so they don't hurt as much and they can still carry the rest of my body which is definitely in a worse state than my lower body. My shoulders are stiff, moving my arms just by a few inches hurts like hell and even my stomach muscles feel like someone has been punching them.
I asked Reilly if she feels okay to which she replied only that everything is good and then grabbed her backpack and walked towards the door. She saw that I was already putting my shoes on, so she grabbed the handle and waited for me even though she didn't say anything. She is definitely acting weird but maybe something happened with her mom or she is stressed out about her training and that's why she is so quiet?
Me: Is something wrong with the training or your mom? She still trying to push you to being the leader or something?
Reilly: Yeah, that's been going on still but she pulled back to let me focus on The student's week. You know with all that academy comes first, do your best, be perfect so that you can inherit the company, bla bla bla. But I am fine. Are you?
Me: My body is wasted by your so called easy beginners work outs.
Reilly: I told you to work out more. Don't blame me for having tofu instead of muscles.
Me: Yeah yeah yeah, I know. But I promise to join you from time to time or I might perish the next time I have to run up those bloody damn stairs. But are you sure everything is alright? You seem quieter than usual.
Reilly: I am, I promise. And if you need to talk about anything, I am here. Right now I want to know what the hell is that noise that's coming from the hallway is.
Something I need to talk about? So she is pissed about something I did but I am not sure what it is. Did she also notice the timeloop and figured it out? But if she did, I think the loop would reset itself so she doesn't know about my origin. But I will deal with that later. Like Reilly said, I also noticed a loud chatter that is coming from behind the door which is definitely weird since it's only us and Saxa, sometimes her usual company but even those times it is pretty quiet around here. The noises we hear now is something we are definitely not used to. Reilly opened the door with a force and ran out to the hallway, yelling at someone and demanding to know what are they doing here. I followed her out to check out who is she talking to and what the hell? There is a group of students that look annoyed and angry filling the whole corridor, blocking it and not letting anyone pass. Anyone meaning Saxa and her bestie, I think her name is Rudy or something. I asked Reilly once but even though I wanted to know, somehow my brain didn't retain that information. Saxa was angry too, yelling at the unknown students and telling them to step away or she will disintegrate them. Those were her exact words and they sent a shiver down my spine because it showed the difference between us, how much control and power she has that I don't. Not that it matters because my lightning doesn't come from Zeus anyway so comparing us as descendants is useless now, but still, she is so much more stronger than my weak pathetic bursts of kid-level electricity zaps.
