Chapter 12: Paternity

All of them stared at Nina who gave them a deadpan look on her face. What did she mean by Thomas and Lissa having the highest compatibility with the Clones? All eyes turned to Thomas and Lissa who were just as confused as they are.

"Maybe we should call it a day and rest." Nurse Slate clearing his throat and ushering them out of the office, it was after all evening and all of them were exhausted (and injured in regards to Thomas' hand) so naturally all of them agreed to head back to their respective dorms without hesitation. However, Nina remained as she narrowed her eyes at him.

"Accusation: You are hiding something from them." Nina pointed out. "There are some things...they aren't ready to know about especially Thomas and Lissa." Nurse Slate said in a low voice as he turned towards her.

"Query: But why are they unaware of the truth?" She asked him as he took a seat. "Take a seat, Nina, I have a lot of things to discuss with you."

"What happened to your hand?" Yvonne asked glancing at Thomas' hand as soon as she saw his bandaged hand. "Oh, this? I got into a bit of a reckless accident." Thomas smiled earning a nervous chuckle from Ester behind them while Axel curled on Yvonne's lap while she gently rubbed the back of his head.

"You should be more careful then." Yvonne rolled her eyes. "Oh is that concern I hear in your voice?" Thomas teased her with an equally teasing grin.

"If you weren't injured I would have given you a fist in your face." She said with a glare. "Joking aside it's not so bad anyway." Thomas continued looking at the hand recalling that rare look of concern that Lissa had at the time, which he found somewhat adorable.

Though if she were to hear of that he'll likely be on the receiving end of a sparring sword, as their weapons were lost and any attempts of returning there in the future might seem difficult. With that place being a potential hideout for ALC Members.

"Keep telling yourself that," Yvonne muttered and returned her attention towards Axel.

"That reminds me, what will happen to Nina?" Ester whispered to Thomas. As after leaving the Nurse's Office the last thing that Thomas ever saw was Nina staying within there that evening. "Oh yeah, I wonder what will happen to her," Thomas whispered back.

Meanwhile, on Class 1-A, both Lissa and Louis looked in surprise at their new classmate sitting nearby. Which was none other than Nina, or Nina Erde as she introduced herself, as it was announced earlier that day.

"You alright?" Uther asked Lissa in mild concern. "You look slightly pale."

"I'm just surprised." Lissa lied. "I'm going to talk to the new student."

"Want me to help?" Uther offered.

"I'm good," Lissa reassured him as she made her way towards Nina.

"Statement: Hello, I didn't know you were the Class Representative whichever the case I am in your care," Nina said with a nod.

"I have several questions that I hope you can answer them later at lunch if it's alright," Lissa told her. "But that aside if you have any troubles regarding classes or anything don't hesitate to let me know."

"Statement: I understand, in terms of academics I am quite adaptable in more ways than you think." Nina nodded as Lissa returned to her seat.

From what Lissa had observed so far, Nina was capable of blending into class with several of her classmates already befriending her as she was very much open to talk to others, something that Louis and Jun teased Lissa who was as friendly as a corpse. And while they found her speech pattern slightly weird, as she was prone to add prefaces into her sentences, but apart from that, she was nice and friendly to all.
