Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Arc: Elenio (English): Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

“Well... She’ll definitely want to wander off for a bit.”The creature had no face, but somehow Jo knew he was smiling when he said it.“She will come back if she senses your presence, right?” Michael asked as he put the glass dome, which he had closed again, onto the dining table.Maybe it was just Jo’s imagination, but Michael looked different now. His aura no longer exuded a father who thought about his daughter to the point of exhaustion. Michael was like... a genius with a cold personality.“Of course. The princess will come looking for me.”“What creature are you?” Sarah, Jo didn’t know what was wrong with her mouth, asking questions as if it was a question-and-answer session at school.The creature turned, or so it seemed, to Sarah. Then the creature chuckled. Yes, he chuckled, and it sounded creepy.“Forgive me for not introducing myself first.”

Gemma sat stunned on the living room sofa. Everyone surrounded her. They stared and kept their distance as if Gemma might explode at any moment.Gemma’s mind was a mess. The last time she remembered fighting the Draconians in this house, and after that, everything was dark.Gemma thought she had passed out at that moment, but she didn’t. She knew she was conscious, and she was in endless darkness.Gemma had been fixating her gaze on both of her palms. The terrible burn had completely disappeared. There’s not even a trace of it.“There’s someone else in my body?” Gemma muttered, wondering who to ask.Gemma woke up lying on the floor, her body covered in vomit. Jo helped her up, took her to the bathroom to clean herself, changed clothes, and carried her back to the living room.There, Gemma’s attention immediately focused on shards of light that resembled a fully human form. From Jo’s explanation

The long-awaited day arrives. The day Gemma will receive the announcement that she must leave this city and live a proud life as an Archturian.Gemma did all the selection tests flawlessly. Even on her last day, she received many praises for her fluid fighting style and decisive moves.Gemma opened the mailbox, trying not to squeal with joy when she saw a white envelope with The Arc’s emblem emblazoned on it.Gemma took it, impatient enough to open it in the house. She sat on the steps in front of the door, tore the envelope hastily, and began to read its contents.Gemma skimmed through the opening sentences at the beginning and immediately looked at the score table. All of her scores were near perfect, and she became the third-ranked winner in Archturian selection history. Gemma couldn’t hide her grin as she read that. She was only one rank below Jo.Gemma continued reading, looking for the word that she was accepted, but couldn’

Nero, Sarah, and Jonah hold Heros with Alfhild, while Jo guards the exit. Without saying anything, Gemma threw her best shot at Heros’ face. Gemma had been wanting to do this for a long time.Gemma didn’t expect that Heros could dodge her attacks so fast. Heros ducked and tripped over Gemma’s leg, making Gemma nearly fall to her knees. But Gemma didn’t lose that easily.There was a gunshot. Sarah’s Alfhild almost hit Heros’ arm, but Heros could dodge again. All this time Gemma had always judged Heros as someone who couldn’t fight, but it turned out that she was wrong.Heros jumped over the railing, then he shouted, “Wait a minute! Wait a minute!!”But who wants to wait?Jo climbed the stairs in one big stride, then threw a kick with both hands on the banister for support. Heros jumped, and he plunged back down to the floor.Heros doesn’t know, and Gemma doesn’t know since when

Waiting and being patient are two things that make Gemma itch. Maybe she’s allergic to those two actions. Then Servant appeared and offered an interesting idea.Gemma was lying on the cramped bed in her room. She still couldn’t face her father without her emotions overflowing. So, after a silent breakfast, Gemma cleaned up her own plate and rushed to her room.Not long after, Servant knocked on the door and entered. Gemma was still not used to this Servant form. Repeatedly, Gemma felt like she had a heart attack because she saw Heros in front of her.“Based on your radiance of energy, I can sense that you are a formidable fighter. It would be even more extraordinary if you could combine your powers with Princess Lanaya’s.”Without further ado, Servant explained a theory that made Gemma get up from the bed.“How’s that possible?” Gemma’s enthusiasm crept up from her question. Or maybe it’s
