Chapter 26: Nobody is Me

Both Joy and Geeta could only watch as Luciel slammed the door behind him.

They just stood there before Joy looked furiously at Geeta. "Was that really necessary?! Couldn't you just at least have waited a day so he could rest more?!"

Geeta didn't react to her accusations and calmly looked at Joy. "How are you doing Nurse Joy, he hit us with an extremely strong impression of death, of course it wasn't enough to affect me, but it doesn't look the same for you."

"I would like that you offer the same worry for my health for my patient." She rebuked coldly, which forced Geeta to sigh.

"I would prefer to not create a conflict with you, I wouldn't want to fire you and your sister after all."

At the mention of her sister, Joy stiffened before lowering her head. "...My apologies for my rudeness...it just...it wasn't fair for Luciel."

Geeta's eyes soften a little. "I understand, however I needed to correct this situation before the other nation's government heard about him. They spent a lot of money in this academy after all in order to build a new peace where every nation is equal. So if they learned that a third party is able to take possession of the whole academy, then they would certainly ask us to correct this problem immediately."

"Well I still think it would be better for you to give more time for Luciel to think about it." Joy rebuked.

"I would also agree if it wasn't for what happened to the Emperor of the Barren. We still don't know which country ordered the murder of him and all of his lineage, but I don't think the fact that Luciel is one of our students will stop them from doing the same."

Joy's eyes widened at the realization that it was more than just Luciel's heritage at play. "...but still..."

"And I still made sure he would have a lot of benefice, benefice that some nation wouldn't accept to allow him. But this isn't the most important point, you've heard him yourself, he doesn't care about his authority over Danu, he would have given it out for free if we didn't come up with the payment first."

Joy grew pensive for a moment before being forced to admit that the dean was right, Luciel didn't hold any value on the island and in fact hated it. "...you're right...Luciel made the decision by himself...and I know that you don't hold any malice toward him..."

Geeta simply nodded before rising from her chair. "Tell yourself that it was either that, or we put in peril the combined effort of multiple nations that worked together for world peace, just one child getting scammed a little is still better than a million more dying." Geeta closed her eyes for a short instant before reopening them with guilt inside them. "Even if I would have loved that it would be any other child than Luciel who have to suffer once more."

Joy threw a last sigh before moving toward a cabinet and bringing out some pile.

"What is it?" Geeta asked out of curiosity.

Joy didn't even look behind her to respond to Geeta. "Luciel left before I could give him his medicine, so I will have to bring it to him."

Geeta frowned before shaking her head in disapproval. "You can leave this job for someone else, you're currently too tired."

Joy stopped for a moment before turning her head to face Geeta. "Rich coming from you, when was the last time you got any sleep?"

Geeta raised her eyebrow before clearly thinking about her answer. "I think it was three days ago, but don't worry, I was able to sleep for 5 hours, so I have more than enough energy to go on."
