Sebi looked at the mirror and lifted his arms up. He turned around then suddenly flexed, making his biceps bulge up. They weren’t huge, but they now looked firm and forceful compared to when he first woke up from coma.
Grinning brightly, Sebi put on the grey hoodie and straightened up. He wished he could measure his height as well, but that would be too much. Gaining height in a few weeks was impossible, so he’d have to comfort himself with the fact that he had gained some muscle. He had also gained a kilogram of weight after checking it at the clinic yesterday.
A knock suddenly came on the door. Sebi reached out and opened it, revealing Headmaster Juno.
“Oh, Headmaster!” Sebi grinned. “I was about to look for you before I leave, but you came instead.”
The headmaster reached out and patted Sebi’s hair before glancing at his bags. She suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of pride.
“Which planet did you say were you going?” Headmaster Juno asked.
“Planet Phohenus,” Sebi answered. “We’re staying at Bellona’s place! She said it’s by the ocean!” He timidly smiled as he scratched his nose. “I have never seen the ocean… so I’m really excited.”
Headmaster Juno stared at her adoptive son and felt a bit regretful. All his life, Sebi had spent in the Academy. They rarely even stay at her mansion. She was always busy, so she never got the chance to take Sebi out and explore the world. It was one of the things that bothered her, especially when Sebi was in a coma and was on the brink of death.
Dying without seeing the world was cruel.
Now that Sebi had the chance, Headmaster Juno couldn’t bear to allow the experience to suck for him. She immediately pointed at his bags and sternly said, “Then, have you packed up enough underwear?”
Sebi smiled in embarrassment and nodded. “Y-Yes!”
“Your toothbrush? Your comb? Face towel? Did you bring sunscreen? How about your facial wash? Did you bring your vitamins?”
Sebi trembled as he was attacked by a barrage of inquiries. In a daze, he went to confirm if he did pack the things Headmaster Juno. Under her scrutinizing gaze, Sebi flinched when he saw a missing item and busied himself by gathering everything.
For a while, Headmaster Juno helped finalize his stuff until another knock came on his door.
“Sebi? Are you ready?”

Recognizing that it was Necomir, Sebi stretched his hand out and with a flick of his wrist, he opened the door.

Sebi felt his cheeks redden as he looked away. He looked so mature, so grown up…
So hot.
He covered his mouth, stopping a startled squeal from leaving his mouth due to being shocked by his own shameless train of thoughts. They have become even more beastly as days pass, maybe Sebi should pick up some meditation techniques from ancient texts at the library so he’d calm his feral thoughts down.
“Ah, Necomir is here,” Headmaster Juno said, urging Sebi. “You can’t let him wait.”
Sebi nodded and rushed out, his cheeks tainted a light tint of pink. Headmaster Juno briefly exchanged glances with Necomir and they nodded to each other.
I hope you take care of him.
I will.
“Where are your bags?” Sebi wondered when he saw Necomir’s free hands.
“They’re in the suspension car already,” the taller man answered as he reached for Sebi’s bag. “Let me hold it for you.”
Sebi blinked and before he could even protest against it, Necomir had taken two of his bags, carrying it like they were nothing heavier than a bag of chips. Sebi could only allow him to help him and rushed to catch up after his fast strides.
When they reached the suspension car, Sebi stopped on his tracks and had to blink several times to check if he was seeing things properly.
Akhenaten, Bellona, and Chunmi were talking to each other in front of the car in casual wear. It might sound nothing special, but Sebi had really only seen them wear the uniforms and plain clothes. This was his first time seeing them in trendy, casual wear that he had only seen in pictures in his past life.
While Necomir looked quite formal yet casual, the other three were in more youthful clothes. Akhenaten wore a plain black shirt topped with a blue jacket matched with highwaist jeans. He looked good, but Sebi’s reaction to the women were stronger.
It was because their personalities didn’t match what they wore at all!
Chunmi might be cute, but she gave off a calm, scholarly vibe. He really didn’t expect to see her in a red sundress and heels, making her look quite seductive especially with her scarlet lipstick. Meanwhile, the girly, bubbly Bellona wore simpler, larger clothing – a large white hoodie paired with leather black pants. Her hair was up in two buns, revealing the undercut Sebi failed to notice due to her thick, long hair that she usually wore down.
Bellona noticed them and she grinned brightly. She waved her hand and called out, “Sebi!”
Akhenaten and Chunmi looked over, smiling as the two approached them.
“Everyone ready?” Necomir asked after letting the escorts that Bellona had with her take the luggage.
“Yes, yes,” Sebi excitedly answered, eyeing the suspension car. It didn’t look anything like the cars he had seen in the past or in any of the books he had read. It was huge and sleek as it hovered over the ground with a blue light, something that looked obviously expensive.
“Sebi, don’t you think I’m so cool?” Akhenaten proudly tilted his chin up. “I’m sponsoring our teleportation!”
Sebi’s eyes shined. “Really?”
“Even the starship!” Akhenaten bragged. “I couldn’t help it, Bellona’s family is amazing but she hasn’t been on good terms with them for a while–”
“Alright, pretty boy,” Bellona smiled as she reached out to cover his mouth, her temples twitching in irritation. “You can shut your blabbering mouth now.”
Akhenaten struggled away from her grip. “But for real! Auntie would have definitely sent us a ride if she knew–”
Necomir looked over and saw Sebi staring at them like a lost little chick. He thought it wasn’t good to have him pay attention to their nonsense so he swept him away without saying anything and led him into the car.
“How about them– wow!” Sebi’s eyes widened as he stared at the spacious interior of the car, quickly forgetting about the others.
Necomir dragged him to sit with him and immediately offered him a luxurious breakfast.
Sebi felt a bit shy, watching such an elegant, noble-like Necomir serving him food. Like… like those romance novels he used to read about faithful butlers who served their masters in all kinds of ways…
Sebi shook his head, feeling ashamed. How could he think of Necomir as a butler? He was obviously a rich young master!
And Sebi was just a pauper that he spoiled… like a pet… That sounded a bit wrong!
Necomir stared at the little hatchling who had gone silly.
The others finally get into the suspension car. It was noisy as Bellona, Akhenaten and Sebi chattered about their plans for the next few days.
“We’re going to my vacation house, and it’s near the beach. It’s our property, so there will be no one but us,” Bellona winked.
“You sound perverted,” Necomir chuckled from the side.
Bellona gave him a sour look. “That’s on you, Augustine. I was simply thinking about cultivating our friendship! Shame on you!”
She proceeded to berate Necomir, who didn’t look bothered as he took a wine glass and filled it with beer.
“Anyway,” Bellona smiled brightly again at Sebi. “You’re going to love it.”
