Chapter 307: Lady Mother Arrives in the Capital
Chapter 307: Lady Mother Arrives in the Capital
Due to the attack by the Diabros Cult and the emergence of the Shadow Courtyard, the Midgar Mage Knight Academy decided to start the summer vacation early.
Despite being the top academic institution in the Midgar Kingdom, the Academy couldn't escape blame with the presence of teachers like JENO GULIPI, a degenerate, and Ruslan Barnett, the Associate Dean. The Academy's principal also bore some responsibility.
The early vacation was not only to renovate the damaged facilities but also to allow the shocked students to settle down.
During this vacation, the Midgar Academy was also ordered to conduct self-inspections to prevent incidents like those involving JENO and Ruslan from happening again.
After the recent events, Sherry Barnett decided to study abroad in Las Vegas, feeling disillusioned.
The revelation that her foster father, who had raised her for many years, was the murderer of her mother, dealt a significant blow to the fluffy-haired girl.
Night City could tell that if it weren't for Sida, the "white moonlight," suddenly appearing, the fluffy-haired girl, Sherry, would have either turned dark then and there or lost the will to live.
Of course, Sherry's love-hate relationship with Sida was not of great concern to Night City. At this moment, he was sitting on a train, ready to enjoy his vacation.
While the Academy was on summer break, as a member of the Royal Knight Order, Night City was supposed to continue his training.
However, due to his recent accomplishments and frequent battles, the leader of the Knight Order, Princess Alice, granted him a special leave, allowing him to relax and unwind.
Since coming to this world, Night City hadn't traveled much. He had initially stayed in his territory and then moved to the Capital City.
Aside from the Midgar Kingdom, Night City hadn't visited many other places.
Recently, the Holy Land Lindblum was about to open the Holy Realm Gateway, an annual event, and a grand occasion called "Goddess's Trial" was also taking place. Night City planned to go and witness the excitement.
Night City was quite excited about this vacation.
However, just as he was about to depart, his mother, Medis, suddenly arrived in the Capital City from the Omega Territory.
Ever since Night City left his territory and started attending school in the Capital, Medis, being a doting mother, had been worried about her son.
After hearing about the attack on Midgar Academy, Medis, disregarding Gais's objections, brought several servants to the Capital to check on her son's well-being.
With his mother in the Capital, Night City couldn't ignore her. Finally, after Princess Alice's explanation, Medis abandoned the idea of having Night City drop out of school.
After confirming that Night City was indeed unharmed and had achieved another accomplishment, Medis didn't rush home. Instead, she expressed that she hadn't left her territory in a long time and wanted to take this opportunity to travel around.
Upon learning that Night City planned to visit the Holy Land Lindblum, Medis revealed her long-held desire to experience the so-called "Goddess's Trial." Thus, she boarded the same train.
When Medis arrived in the Capital and expressed her intention to witness the "Goddess's Trial" in the Holy Land, the sycophantic Kreaya naturally followed her.
At this moment, the two women sat across from Night City, laughing and chatting. An outsider might mistake them for a close mother-daughter pair, while Night City seemed like a mere bystander...
"Oh, what a waste of a good vacation..."
Although the vacation hadn't officially started, Night City knew that traveling with his mother and childhood friend would likely turn into a nightmare.
"What's wrong? Is it so humiliating for you to be seen with us?"
Night City's sigh immediately displeased Lady Medis, who had just heard about Night City's antics at the academy from Kreaya.
She was quite unhappy with some of her son's reckless actions.
When they were in the territory, as a mother, she could still manage this precious son of hers, but now that they were in the capital, it seemed he had completely let loose!
"Hmph! Bootlicker!" Night City muttered under his breath as he saw Kreaya, standing next to Lady Medis, sticking her tongue out at him.
He felt he couldn't stay here any longer. If he continued to loiter in front of Lady Medis, who knew how much lecturing he'd have to endure from her.
Just as Night City stood up, intending to find a place to get some fresh air, he accidentally bumped into someone walking towards him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault..."
"It's alright... Night City, I never expected to run into you here. What a coincidence."
There was no mistake; the person Night City accidentally bumped into was none other than the dazzling student council president of Midgar Academy, Roz Oliana.
"President Roz, what a coincidence indeed..."
Looking at Roz, Night City's face immediately turned troubled.
Ever since the Swordsmanship Tournament, the student council president had been paying a lot of attention to him. And after he saved her during the academy attack, Night City noticed that the way she looked at him became even more peculiar...
Trusting his instincts, Night City's rationality told him he should distance himself from this trouble as soon as possible.
But just as Night City was about to leave, his mother, Lady Medis, was also captivated by the beautiful Roz in front of them. She then asked, "Night City, is this beautiful young lady also your classmate?"
Seeing Lady Medis' dignified and beautiful appearance, and her dazzling white hair that was identical to Night City's, Roz initially thought she was Night City's sister. So, she took the initiative to introduce herself.
"You must be Night City's sister. My name is Roz Oliana, the student council president of Midgar Mage Knight Academy, and also a senior to Night City."
"Although I'm his senior, when I was at the Mage Knight Academy, I received a lot of care from him. Night City is exceptional in both character and swordsmanship."
Upon hearing Roz's words, Lady Medis was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled lightly. "So, you're Night City's senior? Our Night City has been under your care.
But there's one thing you guessed wrong, Miss Roz. I'm not his sister; I'm his mother."
Any woman, regardless of status, age, or size, would naturally be pleased to be praised for her youth and beauty.
Roz's initial mistake of assuming Lady Medis was Night City's sister not only didn't offend her but also won the favor of the mother.
"So, you're his mother... I was truly rude earlier."
Previously, Roz's greeting was in a casual manner because she genuinely thought Lady Medis was Night City's sister.
But now that she knew Lady Medis was Night City's mother, the usually unflappable president was flustered and quickly changed her demeanor to that of a junior.
