There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 746

Chapter 746: Side Story 4. Endless Journey - 29

In the end, the twins decided to enroll in the esper-guide Academy that their father and Uncle Radia established. Not because it was familiar, but simply because it would mean they didn’t have to part so soon.

At least, not until Kar graduated--which would happen three years earlier than Asa.

But since the Academy was in Projo, the twins would have to enter the dorm. Which meant leaving the house. Which meant even more drama.

Nari and Byul were throwing a tantrum, crying as hard as they did in the hospital. It was even more miserable for Byul, who couldn’t get too close to the newly awakened Kar. The five-year-old was shrieking from the corner of the room, calling for Kar’s name while his parents were trying to calm him.

It was inevitable. Even for Kar, controlling their mana was not yet within their reach. This was why most awakened esper decided to enroll in Academy--or at least home-schooled. It was hard for them to stay among people who had no immunity against mana. Until the mana inside their body settled quietly--be it through training or time--they would find it hard living among civilians.

Kar had tried his best to calm his mana during the journey. Unfortunately for him, he had a father whose mana pool was as vast as the sea, and it seemed like he inherited the trait. No amount of genius could assist Kar in settling down his mana system quickly.

In the end, his godfather had to pull an artifact from House Mallarc’s vault that could potentially suppress his mana, and Kar had to spend about an hour hugging Byul before the little boy stopped sobbing.

Funnily, Nari stopped crying when Byul had his episode, because her sister instinct switched to comforting her baby brother instead. So thankfully, it did not turn into chain-crying like what happened in the hospital.

"Uncle, can Kar borrow the item for one more day?" Asa asked while Kar was patting Byul’s back. When Radia tilted his head inquisitively, Asa added an explanation. "So we can have a farewell party for our friends and teachers."

"Ah," Radia nodded, patting the boy’s head. "Sure."

And that was how a farewell party could be held.

Well, it wasn’t a party as much as a gathering for meals. The twins chose who they wanted to invite, which were their close friends and the teachers they wanted to apologize to for what they did that night. There were some teary faces, but all in all, the event went well.

"Dada..."

Lucy, who was wearing a pretty coat dress, climbed to Zein’s lap in the middle of the party. She was taking a nap earlier, because she was busy getting excited with the twins in the morning, but got bored because she couldn’t play with the other kids.

"What’s wrong?" Zein hugged his daughter and stroked her sleepy face. She was rather pale, but her skin’s temperature was normal. "You don’t look too good--are you feeling sick? Is your tummy hurt?"

The little girl shook her head, bouncing her white curls around. She pressed her head to her father’s chest, curling her small body inside the warm hold. Zein worriedly checked on her temperature with his commlink, but she was fine. The scan didn’t show anything wrong with her body either.

But Lucy was fussy, rubbing her face on Zein’s shoulder and whining about the noise. It was rare for her to do that, so Zein made a signal to his husband, telling Bassena to continue hosting the party while he took their daughter out for some fresh air.

Standing on the balcony of the master bedroom, the winter sea looked beautiful under the clear sky. Thankfully, the wind wasn’t as harsh during the day, and it was indeed refreshing for the fussy toddler. Lucy blinked a few times before turning around to enjoy the breeze with her father for quite some time.

Lucy laid her head on Zein’s shoulder, and fiddled with the beads on his father’s necklace, the one that belonged to her deceased uncles she unfortunately never met. "Dada..."

"Mm?"

"Lu have stlen dlim..."

Zein raised his brow and looked down. Lucy was frowning slightly, and making a confused face. "Strange dream?"

"Many," the girl nodded.

"Strange dreams?" Zein corrected himself. "Are they all the same?"

Lucy did not reply immediately. She raised her finger and pressed her temple to try and remember. Zein smiled watching the adorable frown on his daughter’s face, and was about to put his thumb there when Lucy shook her head again. "Difflent, but...feel same!"
