Chapter 451: Accusation of Misunderstanding

"Whoa... So, this is an academy, a place where young human seedlings hone their talents, knowledge, and magic. Do academies exist on every continent?" Yuuki pressed her hand to her forehead to block out the morning sun.

"Mm, yeah, maybe? The Devil Continent also has several academies that are not inferior to this one." Sylvia folded her arms and nodded.

"You seem very knowledgeable about the Devil Continent, Sylvia. Have you been there?" Evelyn asked for small talk.

However, it sounded different to Sylvia"s ears. "Ah, uh, yeah, I"ve been there. As I recall, Holy Grandfather, Pope Alexander was a world traveler. I believe he knows a lot."

Fortunately, no one doubted that. After clearing the suspicion and changing the topic, Sylvia wiped her non-existent sweat.

"Ermm... Aren"t we getting excessive stares right now? Are we the center of attention for the students?" Ella grasped her hand because she felt uncomfortable.

"Ahaha? You say that like you"ve never experienced anything like this, Ella. Didn"t we used to go through this together? All of that only escalated because Ely is with us now after more than a week off." Evelyn patted Ella"s back in a gentle motion.

Elysia glanced at her surroundings. On the way to the Resource Building, the students took a few seconds of their time just to look at her group.

She also couldn"t do anything but accept those stares as if she didn"t know. If it was her forty days ago, obviously, she would have felt nervous inside even though there was nothing to show on her face. After all, her past self doesn"t like to get too much attention.

However, her current self is like the new Elysia. She could overlook that easily. After that, she glanced at Ella and Evelyn beside her.

The two girls were having a light conversation to fill their morning with joy under the warm sun.

"Aren"t they good friends, Ely? They must have been pretty overwhelmed, especially in the past week. What are we going to do, yes? After all, your extraordinary disco light talents amaze everyone as if they were so willing to kidnap you for their benefit." Elena lay on her stomach and rested her chin on her hands. She kicked her feet with a smile on her face.

"En, I"m lucky to meet them." Elysia replied with a tender smile.

"Ah, we"re almost at the Resource Building. Remember your promise just now. After we come back from the academy, I want you to spend your time in the outside world with me, Sister Elena. Don"t be a lazy girl who likes to lie in bed or you"ll be one of the lay down group." Elysia reminded Elena like a fierce instructor.

"Pfft, you are not suitable to use fierce intonation, Ely. You were born as a gentle person. But, well, my promise is the truth and it will happen. You don"t need to be anxious or worried." Elena jumped out of the super comfortable bed to do a stretch and a light exercise. "Look, I"m doing an exercise routine."

"Yes, yes..." Elysia just took the excuse for granted.

"Hoho, looks like it"s going to be a little festive this morning, Ely." Elena"s eyes sparkled with interest.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Elysia didn"t immediately understand what Elena meant.

However, someone suddenly appeared out from within the Resource Building.

*Thud*

Rhea"s barrier took effect, and someone who suddenly appeared crashed into the invisible wall.

"Ow! What was that? Since when was there a wall at the exit? Eh?" Raylee rubbed her forehead and looked up to check. He ended up stunned for a few seconds to look at the girl in front of him.

"Are you all right, Prince Raylee?" Serena rushed over and crouched down beside Raylee to ask worriedly. When she also looked at what Raylee was staring at, she was also stunned for a moment.

"Y-you, you?" Serena stuttered while pointing at Elysia.

"Good morning, Senior Raylee and Serena. It seems you have become very close in just a week. Are you all right, Senior Raylee?" Elysia only answered with a polite greeting and a friendly smile.

"What"s wrong with you, Serena? Please don"t point your index finger at Ely as it"s rude." Evelyn snorted softly with dissatisfaction.

"You disappeared for a week and you came back with a baby, Elysia!? I misjudged you as a virtuous and polite girl! You had a baby at such a young age and out of wedlock!?" Serena exclaimed with surprise and one other hidden intent.

Dozens of students in the surroundings instantly stared at Elysia in shock. Then, they glanced at the baby girl in Elysia"s arms as if they couldn"t believe what they had in mind.

Fifty meters from the Resource Building, a group of students were leisurely strolling. Their attention was instantly drawn to the source of the sound.

"Huh? There"s a student who has a child out of wedlock and dares to come to the academy? Is that accusation, slander or real? Anyway, what a sin from adultery. That student need-" Brian walked towards the Resource Building with his group. But, he was also stunned to see the ident.i.ty of the accused girl.

His idol girl was out for a week, but she came back with a baby daughter in her arms? Who, who was the man who presumptuously dared to do that to the girl of his dream!?

Even though there were thousands of words of wrath in the mind, despair, sadness, and mental anguish triumphed over anything. Brian fell to his knees as if the morning sun was no longer shining.

"What a baseless accusation. It was a very offensive act on your part, Serena. If you don"t know anything, can"t you just shut up and act like a nice girl like in the last few days? It"s for your own good, apologize immediately now. "Ella pursed her lips with dissatisfaction. She was also quite worried that the G.o.ddess of Nature would punish that ignorant girl.

"Then what can explain this? Who is the father of this baby? Did you disappear for a week to give birth to this baby? Prince Raylee, I had to guess that Elysia is not as amazing as you think." Serena sneered eloquently, then she looked at the stunned Raylee.

"Sigh... Why did you come to that conclusion right away, Serena. I think, you"ve become wiser because of the punishment... If you"re holding a baby, are you also a student who gave birth out of wedlock? Again, the cute girl in my arms is about seven years old. Does that make sense to your accusations?" Elysia was tired of this kind of nonsense. Even though it was still early in the morning.

Hearing Elysia"s statement, Raylee immediately stood up as if nothing had happened before. "Haha, that makes sense. I find it ridiculous to be shocked for so long in disbelief. Nice to see you back, Elysia. If I may ask, who is the little girl in your arms?"

"Hehe, why don"t you just get acquainted with her directly, Senior Raylee?" Elysia just left everything to Rhea. She couldn"t introduce Rhea as she did to her friends.

"Haha, It"s a pleasure to meet you, cute girl. You seem very spoiled to Elysia. My name is Raylee, and you can call me big brother." Raylee introduced himself with a welcoming smile.

"Mother once told me not to talk to suspicious strangers. Mama, this uncle"s stare makes me cringe." After saying that, Rhea buried her face into Elysia"s arms like a frightened little girl.

"A-um..." Elysia was shocked to the core by Rhea"s answer. Rhea really wanted to be her baby daughter and gave her a lot of trouble from misunderstandings!?

"See? Like I said, right? That Elysia, that-" Serena once again pointed her index finger at Elysia. However, she was unable to finish her sentence because a large man came before her.

The three-meter tall man with tan skin and wearing a dragon patterned full-body armor stared down at Serena with a piercing gaze.

Gio really didn"t like seeing his divine master being shouted at and pointed at like that. Whoever it was and whatever it was, even if he didn"t know what happened and what was said, what he would do was evident. Advance forward to protect his divine master.

"..."

"..."

Gio said nothing but gave the ignorant human a look. After all, the one in front of him did nothing more after he came forward to meet her face to face.

Meanwhile, Serena could only look up to see the big, fierce man in front of her. She gulped her saliva because of nervousness and fear. The effects of sunlight, shadows, and viewpoints made what she saw was not only a large man but a giant who seemed to be staring at her stomp her flat!

"Ah, uh... I"ve heard this before. One can be referred to as a mother without necessarily having a real child. Yes, yes, I thought that yesterday too." Sylvia raised her hand and jumped slightly.

Then, she pursed her lips to Serena. "You"re ignorant girl, you screwed up. I don"t know what you"re trying to achieve with that stupid move, but you won"t succeed at anything. Only jealousy burns you from within."

"Mm, yes, that"s what happened. It"s just a misunderstanding. I was about to claim my resource pack. With that being said, allow me to excuse myself." After saying that, Elysia left Serena and went inside the Resource Building.

She didn"t know that many male students breathed a sigh of relief to find out the truth. Serena became awkward, but Raylee"s eyes somehow shone to look at the baby daughter in Elysia"s arms.
