Emma looked at Haoran with a look of astonishment.
"Why would you do that? I don't understand," Emma said. Haoran only smiled and pinched Emma's nose.
"It's okay if you don't understand," Haoran said. He retrieved his cellphone from Emma's hand and put it back in his pocket. "Don't forget, this afternoon, we'll go see Mr. Neville."
Emma nodded. She tried not to think about Haoran's words, which she thought was unusual. The girl returned to her lunch and, before long, she finished the sandwich and fruits in her lunch bag.
After she finished eating, Emma laid down on the grass. Her stomach was too full to immediately do something serious. She noticed many other students too had also taken advantage of the soft, thick grass they were sitting on to lie down and relax.
"We still have 15 minutes, right?" she asked, turning to Haoran. Haoran nodded, still enjoying his sandwich slowly. Emma took a deep breath and then pulled out the black sunglasses from her shirt pocket and wore them.
This way, she could see the blue sky directly. The sun didn't feel hot, but the glare still made Emma's eyes uncomfortable. Her sunglasses weren't the polarized type. She didn't think of buying more expensive but decent sunglasses.
In the corner of her eye, Emma caught a line of moving white clouds heading to block the sun.
'Ah, if only the clouds can get here faster, everything will be more comfortable,' she thought.
'At this rate, the clouds will get there in half an hour. Useless. We'll be already inside the palace by then,' the girl said to herself. She turned her face to the left and stared at the clouds. She casually raised her hand with the intention of 'pulling' the clouds to move faster toward her.
"Ahh! My hat!" Bianca shrieked suddenly. She stood up and chased her summer hat, which hovered lightly to the west. She managed to catch it in time before it plunged into the fountain.
Some leaves also flew from east to west as the wind blew a little strongly. A minute later, the clouds that were to their east were now floating above the heads of the students. They were nicely blocking the blinding sun from Emma's view.
'Wait a minute... What? Did I just control the wind?' Emma asked herself. She took off her sunglasses and sat up while looking up with an astonished face.
Earlier, she idly 'called' the clouds to approach her. She didn't understand how she did it, without thinking at all. But at that time, she just didn't like the glare and wanted to cover the sun temporarily.
'Uff... Emma, how many times do you have to remind yourself. Don't use your power casually,' she scolded herself inwardly.
Her chest felt a little tight. Emma grabbed a bottle of water to drink and felt a little relieved. She should have known whenever she used her power, her energy would be drained, and she'd feel tired. Luckily, she didn't get injured and lost her memory like what had happened two nights ago at the Eiffel Tower.
She drank for the second time, and suddenly, a flash of memory appeared before her.
Ah, that's right. Usually, whenever she used her power, some flash of memory would appear. She's slowly getting her memory back this way.
Emma watched as Arreya fetched water from a running spring by cupping her hands and gave it to her husband, who was sitting while leaning on a large tree.
"Drink up," said the beautiful woman in a melodious voice. "I didn't expect you'd exert all your power to give life to this valley. Now you're hurt."
