Transmigrated With A Resolution System

Fae cast an uneasy look in Mae's direction, not liking what she had brought upon herself for asking such a question.

"Why use my gift when my babies are sitting still and collecting dust?" She shrugged, getting up and walking over to the wall.

"What are you..." Fae's mouth gaped open at the sight of Lumina pushing a secret button, a puff of smoke escaped the moment it opened up revealing an array of daggers lined up.

'So these are your babies?!' She cringed at the different shapes, lengths, and cutting edges.

"What the heck are you doing with all these?" She gawked in disbelief.

"What are daggers used for?" Lumina retorted, rolling her eyes.

Fae's lips sealed shut at the witty response. Although that wasn't what she meant, she couldn't help but feel that her question did warrant such a response.

"You win this time." She shook her head, sitting on the floor comfortably, looking upwards and shaking her head at what she had seen.

Lumina shook her head, pulling out taking a pair of draconic curved daggers with part of its side and the tip having a jagged edge, in a signature reversed grip, her gaze darkened.

"This would definitely make the culprit have a slow and painful death." She snickered in a blind rage, channeling her gift through its blade.

The glow came off and made Fae raise her hand to shield her eyes.

"Lumina, you know I can't always be there to calm you."

Looking over her shoulder, she gave a slight rise of the corner of her lips at what Fae had said.

Although it had always been a miracle that whenever she had gone on a rampage, she had her friend to pull her out every time. But sometimes she wished to be left alone.

"Do you think I need you to calm me if we get to know who it is?" She brought the dagger close to her face to inspect its jagged edge.

Fae was once again tongue-tied. Although she knew that Lumina would never feel guilty for whatever she had planned, she needed some sort of push to change her thinking.

"Although I can't really say I have a push driven motive as you to get back at them, do you think that's what Ian would want?"

Fae's words struck a chord in Lumina's heart, one she had not wanted to open.

Closing her eyes momentarily, she groaned. "I thought we had discussed that we wouldn't talk about him."

"..."

Looking around she hoped that half an hour was up. Wishing Nix would barge in and throw her out.

'Shit! I had crossed the line.' She sweatdropped at the building tension in the air.

Placing the dagger back on the vertical metal dagger wall mount. She pressed the same button which closed the opened part of the wall.

Finally, she had enough attention to be directed at Fae.

That was a name she had not wanted to be reminded of, it brought nothing but hurtful memories.

Fae masked her nervousness with a chuckle, pushing back with her feet, and shaking her head at an approach by Lumina.

"We can discuss this amicably." She voiced out, cautious about what awaited her.

'You just had to go with that approach!' She facepalmed, cursing repeatedly in her mind.

The last time this had happened, that was the first and last time she had battled with Lumina.

At the time she had placed too much regard on the strengths that she had developed over the few months before she had been recruited to the academy that she underestimated Lumina's abilities.

It was on that same day she had been humbled and had vowed never to mention that name ever again.

'Stupid, stupid!' She repeatedly referred to herself as she expected another unfair advantage when it came to being beaten.

She switched her gaze from Lumina who was nearly close to her and the door, expecting some sort of miracle.

Click!

"I hope I didn't interrupt anything?" Nix barged in, tired of waiting at the door as he had done since he pretended to leave.

[Hearing augmentation deactivated]

Whatever was going on that wasn't explained, and probably due to eye contact didn't sound like it was pleasant. There was no way he would let a brawl happen where he was meant to sleep.

Lumina took a step back, turning flustered all of a sudden.

Fae's lips jaw dropped open in shock at what she had just witnessed, this was a different character from the same person about to whoop her ass for that slip.

'You got to be f*cking kidding me!' She wasn't too shocked at the reaction but rather the switch she had displayed.

Even she couldn't bring about such a change from her in such a short period.

Getting up quickly, she brushed her buttocks, straightening her back and clearing her throat.

This was the best time to dash out. What she needed to confirm had been done there was no need to be alone with Lumina. That was as good as signing a trip to the infirmary.

"No, you didn't do anything!" She exclaimed, bowing to Nix and out of character.

Nix raised a brow at her action, then turned his attention towards Lumina who had a bashful appearance.

"It's alright, your time was already overdue anyways." Nix nodded his head in dismissal.

"See you tomorrow in class!" Fae called out before her voice began to trail in the hallway.

Finally done with her presence, he let out a sigh of relief. 'At last, she's gone!'

"Nix, I..."

He had merely walked in her direction, then past her like she was never in his way.

Dropping on the bed, face first. He spread out his hand wide. Felt that her eyes were burning holes at the side of his head.

Slowly adjusting his posture, he rested on his side with his hand supporting his head.

"If you feel that you want to be secretive, I can assure you, I won't pressure you to speak." He emphasized with a shrug of his shoulder.

"..."

Lumina had wanted to speak, but the more she thought about it, the more difficult it was to voice out her concerns.

Fae had just triggered a memory they had vowed to keep to its barest minimum, yet it was open.

'Could he have heard?' There was a feeling she got, thinking Nix could have heard what she and Fae had been discussing.
