“(Magical Eyes? Is she using this skill or is it something else? Why do I even bother having these questions? Of course, it is something else.)”

  Well, she just said it, but there is a difference between Magical Eyes skill and legit Magical Eyes. The skill simply allows the user to see magic and their elements if trained enough for it. The Magical Eyes just as I said, allows the user to use some special magic with them or from them. I don’t have any experience with them so not much I can say about it but if Kiana is associating this with a Magic Core that Roxy might have, in other words, Roxy might as well not be human

  “Hey Roxy, I see that you have Magical Eyes but at the same time I can sense a Magic Core inside your body. Are you some sort of spirit? Would you mind telling me about it?”

  A simple question, no? If Kiana was that close to Roxy, then yes it would be. In this case, she’s more than prying on her privacy, she might as well be asking about her origins. Even if she asks it with the most genuine care, she simply can’t do it right now. In this moment, she’s a complete stranger to Roxy, there isn’t enough confidence for such a question and even if they were best friends, it would still be better for Roxy to say something out of free will rather than Kiana asking about it.

  Roxy- That’s exactly why I am in this situation! I forgot them at home and because of it, I exposed my true identity! Ah! What a crisis I have at hand! How am I supposed to get out of this with my life intact?

  Alright, while Kiana was having a crisis on what to do, Roxy on the other hand does this, or say in this case. Her tone of voice, still the same way however, she does raise it a tiny bit, not only that, the look on her face matches her tone, not a single bit of emotions are present there.

  Kiana- Is that why you are hiding? Yesterday, some people still recognized you, so why are you worried about it now?

  Roxy- You think so? I’ve denied everything so I think I was fine, not only that, I had the sunglasses on, so they probably confused me with someone else. Yes, they are the key to my identity! Or in this case to hide it, since no one can recognize me when I have them on. Perfect logic. No flaw, I just need to go home and get them so that I can keep on going with my normal life.

  Kiana- Wh-what? I don’t think that logic makes any logic at all. In fact, I don’t think it works like that-

  “Oie! Have you found her yet?”

  Swoosh!

  The moment they heard that voice, one from a man to be extremely precise for no reason whatsoever, Roxy quickly but without making too much noise, she gets even closer to Kiana, then with her right hand she gently but quickly at the same time, she puts her hand on Kiana silklike lips, covering the mouth in the process and of course, shutting her up. Kiana's golden eyes are wide open as this happens; she has no clue what’s happening but she decides to just stay put and trust Roxy.

  “Shh, I don’t want them to find me.”

  She brings her left index towards her lips while the rest of her hand is closed, she quietly says this to Kiana, who now is mere moments from having a crisis. Yes, an emotional one at that.

  “(Ah! She’s too close! I can feel her! Literally! But she smells nice though, and her hand is surprisingly smooth and even soft… Why am I feeling this hot though? My cheeks that is… Wait! Get a hold of yourself! Why is she hiding from him in the first place!?)”

  Ah, what a sight to the viewer! Kiana looks extremely cute as her cheeks get bright red thanks to that “hot feeling”, in other words, her embarrassment. Her golden eyes, she avoids eye contact with Roxy, she looks left, then right, then faces Roxy only to quickly look towards other direction. Her hands are wide open unable to do anything as her mind is getting overload with the embarrassment, her legs shake as they feel the touch of Roxy legs, they are almost intertwined with each other, seriously, they are basically on top of each other and that alone, that overwhelming sensation of touch, the sensation of her body touching another one is making her feel in such a way. What an innocent lady, but moving on. While they are having this scene, another person arrives next to that man.

  “You haven’t seen her!? How is that possible? I saw her come here!”

  Loud Male Student- Maybe you mistook someone else for her? Maybe you saw another woman coming here and because of that, you thought it was her? She’s nowhere to be seen here, let’s just keep looking, she has to be somewhere! We can’t lose hope yet!

  Desperate Female Student- Ye-Yeah! You’re right, we can’t lose hope yet… Not yet. We will find our idol! I-I believe it too!

  “That’s the spirit! Let’s get going then!”

  And so, both of them leave with quite the hurry so much so that their footsteps are loud thanks to it. This of course left the two of them alone in complete silence as not even the wind is present or able to be heard. The trees near them are quiet, the students all over the Academy are for some reason, not here and therefore not making noise.

  ........

  ......

  ...

  Kiana's mind really is about to burst. They are almost the same height, Roxy is just a tad bit taller than her however, Kiana can easily feel the warmth of her breathing on her forehead as those 5 or centimetres of difference are allowing this phenomenon to happen. The gentle smell of perfume, one that Roxy has all over her, in this situation allows Kiana to perfectly smell it. It has a floral smell to it, something akin to a Jasmine but mixed with a soft scent of honey. A lovely scent of course but a little too strong in this situation as it is overwhelming her, causing her to even get dizzy. Just as Kiana's vision was about to get blurry, Roxy slowly removes her hand from Kiana mouth and backs off a bit. The moment she does that, a loud “Sigh!” is heard from Kiana, a sound of relief I would say. However, as time does its thing, Kiana slowly regains control of her emotions and the moment she fully is back to normal, she quickly and even a bit “violently” she grabs Roxy by her shoulders and faces her directly with quite the confused look on her face.

  Kiana- What the hell is happening!? Why are you hiding from them? Why are they looking for you? Why did they call you an idol? You have to give an explanation! I’m beyond confused right now!

  Back-to-back Kiana bombards Roxy with questions. Her golden eyes are wide open but they are also shining, although this might be thanks to the previous emotional state. Either way, she really has no clue what’s happening and that alone is making her uneasy about this situation. After all, why would you want to hide from someone else? Two options come to mind, the first one is that Roxy did something that she shouldn’t had done and therefore, she is hiding from the consequences. The other option is that they want to harm her or something similar. Just having this possibility in mind is making Kiana worried but when she heard what they called her, then confusion quickly took over her worry. I don’t know if this made it worse or better, but Roxy simply slightly tilts her head to her right, then with her eyes just a bit more open than normal, she stares at Kiana and for last, with her monotone tone of voice she sends Kiana into the abyss of confusion.

  “You really don’t know who I am, do you?”

  Although her voice is normal, her facial expression is just a bit different from normal, but not enough for anyone to notice that, she is somewhat surprised at this. Maybe her ego got hurt? “How is it possible for Kiana not to know at the very least, anything about me?” That is a good question after all, since yesterday, Roxy has been somewhat the centre of attention so it would be normal for Kiana to at least think that she’s well known just like Alice for example. She knows that she still has a long way for everyone in the city to know her, there is a lot of work left to do for that to happen but here at the Academy, she has basically achieved that. And yet, our Kiana here, even though Roxy is a stranger to her, Kiana has always treated her with respect and even with care. She was her opponent at the mock battles, but even with that massive difference in strength, Kiana still fought her with respect so much so that she even helped her out at the end by giving out some tips on how she could do better the next time. There was no favourable treatment at all, what Kiana did and is doing, it’s her true self, she’s a kind young lady ready to help out those in need.
