Unspeakable bubbles

"Don't worry about the time. I'll approve a flight route this afternoon and we'll take a private plane to Lily of the Valley."

"Alright." Kazuhiko nodded.

He was born into a prominent family and wielded considerable power, but he always kept a low profile and was used to driving alone.

A private jet is fine; it's nice to have one occasionally.

Bubble's braids trembled, and the little girl was overjoyed.

She gets new clothes, delicious food, and an afternoon flight... It's her first time flying.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Because of Masumi, Jack is now much closer to this little girl.

Upon hearing this, he simply waved his hand and said, "Bubble, we'll probably see each other often in the future, so don't be shy."

A thought struck him, and he glanced at his friend, realizing that he had made a decision.

Everyone's happy now.

He felt very gratified; it really felt good to do good deeds.

......................................................................

After getting off the plane, the little girl hadn't even recovered from the novelty of flying when she saw something that surprised her.

"Wow, it's huge!"

Bubble rubbed her eyes, and in front of her was a vast campus that stretched as far as the eye could see.

A magnificent cluster of buildings, a spotless running track, a lovely receptionist, and energetic students playing on the playground...

"Is this where Bubble will go to school?" she asked Kazuto incredulously.

Seeing the little girl's expression, He Ren nodded with great pride.

Lily of the Valley Academy is the culmination of his family's efforts, and he himself graduated from there, so he has a special affection for the academy.

"Lily of the Valley Academy has a long history, dating back to the very beginning of the Federation."

"For nearly a century, it has continuously provided fresh blood to the mystical side, providing a solid guarantee for the development of the Seven Ring Tower."

Now that things have come to this, Kazuhito no longer hides the existence of the Mystic Side from Bubble, since this little guy will likely become a member of the Seven Rings Tower in the future.

“Outstanding graduates can go directly to the Seven Ring Tower and become assistants to the senior students of Linglan.”

"After a few years, you'll be able to stand on your own."

“The people of Lily of the Valley are quite united,” Jack added from the side. “Bubble, you made the right choice.”

"If you go to the Military Unification Academy or Unicorn Academy, you won't have any kind seniors to help you after graduation."

Jack shook his head as he thought about the situation at the other two colleges.

Those who achieve unification by force are all lone wolves, and none of them are willing to submit to the others.

The graduates of Unicorn Academy are even more outrageous. Not to mention that seniors help juniors, most of the seniors who graduated from Unicorn will be happy to kick you when you are down.

Jack knew the inside story, and he always believed that there was a big problem with the order of the three houses.

Judging solely from the graduates' abilities, Suzuran's graduates are naturally no match for the militant faction's Wutong or the fiercely competitive Unicorns. However, looking at it from a broader perspective and in the long run...

The contributions of Lily of the Valley graduates to the Seven Rings Tower far surpass those of the other two colleges.

"The college's mission is to unite, help each other, and make progress together."

"Here you can choose to stay in accommodation or live in a nearby apartment with your family; few specialized colleges offer such freedom."

After thinking about it, they decided not to bring up Masumi's matter now.

The little girl has just arrived; she needs some time to adjust.

"Everyone here is older than you, Bubble, you need to get along well with them."

Seeing that the little girl nodded obediently, the man led her towards the classroom.

"There are twelve classes in the first year of junior high. Bubble will tell me which class you like later."

Students who come in normally don't have the right to choose their class, but since we're here, we'll leave it at that.

A group of people led the little girl around, and the teachers who were teaching saw the school board member personally leading a child, so they were naturally very polite. They all praised Bubble for being sensible and smart, and patted their chests to ensure that if she were in their class, they would take good care of her.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the last classroom.

"here......"

Bubble walked in and found that there were very few people in the classroom. One, two, three, four... seven, eight.

The little girl counted; there were only eight students in total.

"This is a newly opened class, so there are relatively few students."

He said slowly, "Hmm, it seems the kids in this class are a bit shy around strangers."

"Shy" is a polite way of saying it; the behavior of these eight students was indeed somewhat unusual.

A large group of people walked in without any teacher present, but they didn't react much; they just kept their heads down and read their books.

That was fine, but because of his profession, Jack was always quite observant, and he quickly noticed that something was wrong.

The students' postures while reading and the frequency with which they turned the pages were almost identical.

Upon closer inspection, the eight students included both boys and girls, but they all shared a striking resemblance in their features.

'Octuplets? No way.' Jack thought in astonishment.

"Hey, Kazuto, what brings you here today?"

A well-dressed middle-aged man walked into the classroom. Jack vaguely remembered him; he was one of the people who had attended the meeting that day.

Section 122, Chapter 121: Everything Will Be Alright

Wallis

He nodded slightly to the man who was walking towards them. "We have a new transfer student today, so I'm showing her around the school."

"Ok?"

Wallis glanced at Bubble, clearly recognizing the little girl.

'We finally arrived at Lily of the Valley.'

Thinking this, Wallis smiled at Bubble and then walked up to the podium.

Wallis put down the heavy black book in his hand and tapped the table.

The eight students put down their books and stared silently at Wallis.

"Attend class"

"Stand up!" a girl sitting in the first row shouted.

The students stood up in unison and bowed to Wallis.

"Please sit down."

Jack frowned, sensing a mechanical coordination in the students' behavior.

Similar to well-trained soldiers, but fundamentally different.

Looking at the quiet students, Jack felt uneasy.

"Let's go, we won't make Wallis' class late."

He led Bubble and the others out. As they went out, the little girl looked back and happened to see the girl who had called for them to stand up looking at her as well.

Their eyes met, and the girl gave them a friendly smile.

The little girl also smiled broadly and followed the others outside.

A strange thing happened: the other seven students, as if a little slow to react, all looked toward the empty doorway, and then they all gave each other the same friendly smile.

"Ahem, everyone look at the blackboard."

Wallis was used to such things and calmly began today's lesson.

"Bubble, I've shown you around the classroom. Which teacher would you like to visit?"

"The last one."

The little girl thought for a moment and then stated her choice.

“Wallis’s class.” Kazuto hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He thought this was a good choice, since Wallis's class had fewer students, allowing him to spend more time looking after the little girl.

"Bubble, are you sure you want to choose that class?"

Seeing that no one objected, Jack couldn't help but say, "Don't you think the people in that class... are a little strange?"

"No, she even smiled at Bubble! We'll definitely become good friends!"

The little girl didn't feel anything was wrong; on the contrary, she liked the girl who told her to stand up.

"Oh, I see."

Jack glanced at the man, only to see him shake his head slightly.

Seeing this, Jack stopped insisting.

"Okay, whatever you like, Bubble."

................................................

On the way back, Jack asked suspiciously, "Why didn't you choose a more ordinary class? I always felt there was something wrong with the students in Wallis's class."

"Objectively speaking, none of the students in this school are without problems."

Maekawa Kazuto said this first, and then began to talk about the situation of the eight students.

"Have you noticed that those students are moving in a very synchronized manner?"

"That's right, they can't be related by blood, can they? They do look quite alike."
