2419words
After treating their wounds, Vampire Theo and his friends looked around. They did not find Moon in the medical hall. They only saw Lily's group and her friends. Alpha Grey's group and his friends also arrived. They all started treating their wounds.
The teachers began to take attendance of the students who returned. Hundreds of students had yet to return. Professor Aria Star did not see Moon return. The girl was not on the attendance list, but Professor Aria Star paid close attention to the girl.
Lily, who had treated her wounds, did not see Moon's presence. Alpha Grey also did not see Moon's presence, so he immediately went to see Lily.
'Lily, have you seen Moon?" he asked.
'No. I don't think she has returned. She came along, right?" Lily replied.
'Yes, I went with her before. But after the hunt, she decided to go alone," Alpha Grey replied.
Vampire Theo, who saw Alpha Grey and Lily talking from a distance, immediately approached. He heard part of the conversation.
'You met her? Where?" asked Vampire Theo, joining in.
'Outside Undermoon. Did you see her?" replied Alpha Grey.
'No, I was looking for her too. By the way, does she know about the magic stone to get back here?" replied Vampire Theo.
Lily and Alpha Grey shook their heads.
'Sorry, I don't know about that. I didn't ask her about it," replied Lily.
'Argh! Gosh, I feel upset. I hope she knows and comes back soon. If she doesn't come back, she'll be all over there," said Alpha Grey, upset.
Undermoon Academy, I'm back. I saw the front yard of Undermoon Academy filled with students who had returned. Those who were injured immediately went to the treatment room. Those who were fine immediately waited for their injured colleagues.
Until the teachers began to direct them to the main hall for the submission of the hunting results. Everyone started to be in this hall by representing the group to submit the hunting results.
I sat in the corner, watching everyone who looked happy with the results of the hunt.
The teachers sat in their respective chairs to assess and pay for the students' hard work. The first person approached one of the teachers' tables and began to hand over their hunt results.
Surprising everyone, the first person handed over the blue deer antlers, goblin ears, blue magic stones, green magic stones, yellow magic stones, purple magic stones, and many more. After doing a small inspection, the teacher accepted the items and paid with a check that could be cashed at another table. The following person handed over something unexpected.
As time went on, people began to hand over the results of their hunts. When the time came, Lily handed over the hunt results, representing the team. At the second table, Alpha Grey represented, and at the third table, Vampire Theo represented. The three of them took out the results of their hunts at the same time, surprising everyone with their hunt results.
The magic stones of monsters, brown bear skin, blue deer antlers, dragon scales, snake scales, goblin ears, leaves of immortality, snake scales, and many more items that were hard to get. There were also other rare items, namely dragon magic stones, phoenix feathers, darkness magic rocks and several others. All of these items made their group reap praise. They got paid in the form of a check and immediately met the other teachers to cash the check. The three were on the list of the most in-hunting results.
Until the last one, I stepped forward to submit the results of my hunt. I am not registered as a student here, but I am registered as part of Undermoon.
'Excuse me, may I also?" I asked hesitantly.
'Yes, of course. You are part of Undermoon. You should also register as a student here, 'she answered me.
'Yes, but ....," suddenly the position was replaced by Professor Aria Star.
'Sorry, Moon. She doesn't know much about you. Just give me what you get. I will pay for everything like the others," replied Professor Aria Star while sitting on the chair.
'Thank you, Professor Aria Star. I'm just looking for medicinal plants. Is that possible?" I replied.
Professor Aria Star nodded, 'Yes, of course. Healing mages will need that. They must be accommodating."
I immediately removed the medicinal plants from the small magical bag. Professor Aria Star smiled, seeing the bag. I removed medicinal plants that could reflect light, healing medicinal plants, and thorny medicinal plants.
Professor Aria Star was surprised and did not expect the medicinal plants that were difficult to pull out by the roots to be in front of her eyes now.
'How did you pull out this light-reflecting medicinal plant with its roots?" asked Professor Aria Star.
I immediately smiled, 'Ah, sorry. Did I do something wrong?" I said.
'No. It's just that this is very rare. Few people can do this. You have to be at the Alpha Grey, Lily, or Vampire Theo level or above to pull it out with its roots. I know you don't have magical powers. I won't assume anything negative. But was anyone else helping you there?" said Professor Aria Star, which surprised me.
I didn't expect the roots of this medicinal plant to be so strong. I suspect the man with me might be more potent than them.
'Yes, there was someone who helped me. Don't worry. I didn't rob or force that person. He did it voluntarily to help me," I replied.
'Yes. You are fortunate to meet him, Moon. (Smiles) Okay, what else do you have?" replied Professor Aria Star, smiling as if to hide something.
'Can this thing be sold? I was given it by a friend," I said while taking out the red dragon and snake scales.
The two items actually added to everyone's surprise.
'Wow, you're so lucky. Your friend gave you this?" asked Professor Aria Star.
I nodded.
'No problem. If you want to sell it, of course. I will accept it. Is there anything else?" replied Professor Aria Star.
'Nothing. That's all!" I replied.
Professor Aria Star began to write down the price she had to pay. After writing the numbers on the check, she began to give the check to me. I stared at the numbers on the check, the high selling value for all my belongings.
'Is this really this much?" I asked.
'Ah, yes! I will add some. As an option, do you get a card as an Undermoon Academy student, a dorm room, and meal money? You officially register as an Undermoon Academy student. I know that won't be enough. I paid for all of it for the one year you are here. You don't need to pay for meal money," said Professor Aria Star, surprising me.
I was surprised by Professor Aria Star's words, which made the selling price of my belongings even higher.
'Yes, okay. No problem," I replied.
'Please go there for cash withdrawal, and make sure you have a bank account to transfer the money," Professor Aria Star said, pointing to another table.
I immediately went to another table and handed a check to a man who was handling cash withdrawals.
'Here, please help me," I said, handing the check to him.
'Wow, that's quite a number for a beginner like you. It seems like you had a hard day on hunting day," he said while taking the check. Then he handed me a piece of paper. 'Fill in your complete and correct personal data. We are not responsible for any mistakes in money transfers, so it must be correct and complete."
I nodded and then filled in my personal data correctly and completely. Then, he handed the piece of paper back to me.
'Okay, wait a few minutes to transfer the money. In the money transfer information, I will mark you as a freelancer in your home world. Please wait," he said.
'Okay, thank you very much," I replied, immediately leaving.
I walked, trying to leave this hall, but I heard cynical and jealous words directed at me with their cold gazes.
'How could that girl without magic get so many rare and rare items?!" said an annoyed wizard.
'That girl is so good, helped by others. Her grades should be low because it wasn't her own effort."
'Sly girl. She uses other people's power."
'Sly girl. I hope she's not in the same class as me. I'll bully her to death if she's in the same class!"
'Is she trying to curry favour with Professor Aria Star?"
Such words were mainly directed at me. I became afraid, and everyone started to hate me. My face didn't smile at all with my catch. Yes, my catch was indeed helped more by other people. People like me without magical powers don't deserve to join. I was shocked and stopped from sadness when Lily was in front of me. She quickly held my hand tightly with a sweet smile, saying, 'Congratulations on your hunting results, Moon! I didn't expect you to achieve hunting results equal to the students. You're even higher."
'Wow, you're great, Moon! I thought you wouldn't remember the herbs well. You must have studied hard," praised Vampire Theo.
'Congratulations on your success, Moon! I'm glad you were able to enter Undermoon Academy. It doesn't matter that you don't have magical powers. I will still support you," said Alpha Grey, patting my shoulder.
Until the school went up to the podium and asked for our attention. The Head of Undermoon Academy spoke using a loudspeaker, 'Welcome back, everyone. Congratulations on your success on the hunting day. This is quite strange, but this is not just ordinary hunting. I have received reports of who I was eliminated or who was forcibly executed and returned to the original world. As we know, this hunting day has great risks. However, no one forces you to participate; this is just proof of your abilities while studying here. Use your abilities well. I hope we can still have a hunting day in the future. To Miss Moon, congratulations on being accepted as a new student at Undermoon Academy. I officially closed this hunting day, and the portal to exit Undermoon has closed. (Thunderous applause from everyone until it stops before the Head of Undermoon Academy speaks again) That's all I have to say. Thank you, and get back to studying harder," said the Head of Undermoon Academy, who began to leave the podium.
All the students of Undermoon Academy were happy with their hard work today. They dispersed out of the hall. I walked with Alpha Grey, Lily, and Vampire. Theo stopped when Professor Aria Star blocked our way.
'Moon, come with me. I need to talk to you about something. The others, please leave!" said Professor Aria Star.
'Okay!" I answered briefly.
I started to part with them and followed Professor Aria Star's steps. The first trip with Professor Aria Star was to the student room, where I took care of my personal data to officially become an Undermoon Academy student and got the dorm room key. My second trip with Professor Aria Star was to Professor Aria Star's room.
The door opened, and a medical healer was seen in this room. The door was closed again, and the atmosphere became cold and scary. I was invited to sit on the sofa facing a medical healer and Professor Aria Star. They smiled sweetly at me.
'Moon, congratulations on your achievement. Your hard work has paid off. Thanks to you, I have good medicinal plants and as I wished when I wished for the students," said a medical healer.
'Thank you, Miss," I answered spontaneously, making her smile and laugh.
'What do you see here, she?" asked Professor Aria Star.
'She is a woman. Am I wrong?" I answered in surprise.
'No, but other people will say she is a man. It's so strange, other people's views!" said Professor Aria Star.
I quickly addressed the person in front of me. No matter how well I observed her, she was still a woman in my eyes.
'Moon, someone is looking for you. He contacted me just now. You are a great person. I should have given you a title, but I'm sure they will be jealous and hate you. They will underestimate my assessment. So I replaced it by giving you good facilities and equal to the students," said Professor Aria Star, which confused me.
'What do you mean? I don't understand. Who is looking for me?" 'Mr. Seikyu Yuuki. You met him, right?" said Professor Aria Star, smiling.
I nodded, 'Yes, that's right. We started to part at the end. Is he here?" He is a student of Undermoon Academy, right?" I said.
'No. You won't be able to see him again!" said a medical healer, making me panic.
'What? What happened to him? He is okay, right? He wasn't killed there, right?!" I said.
'Calm down, Moon! He is okay. It's just that for now, he and you can't meet. So he is looking forward to seeing you on the next hunting day," replied Professor Aria Star, which relieved me. I was so happy he was okay.
'Hahaha… you are so funny. No wonder he didn't make you….ah yeah! What kind of man do you like?" said a medical healer who changed the conversation topic.
'Eh! I don't know. Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"
'It's okay to ask about that once in a while?!."
'Yes, that's right. But I didn't think about it. But I am very grateful to him for helping me."
'Moon, why aren't you afraid of him?" asked Professor Aria Star.
'Why should I be afraid of him. He is a man who doesn't look at me because I have magical powers. I don't," I said.
'Yes, that's right. Moon is Moon," Professor Aria Star replied.
Meanwhile, Alpha GrAlpha Greyhad eavesdropped on Lily's conversation. Lily guessed that they were discussing Alpha Grey.
'Huh, Moon likes Alpha Grey, huh? That's great. I'll make them close!" Lily muttered to herself.
'I see. So Moon likes me. I'll try to make her feel comfortable around me," Alpha Grey muttered.
They only heard part of the conversation once a misunderstanding occurred.
