 Chapter Two-A Shared Goal

    After moments of silence filled with astonishment and confusion, a murmur spread among the students in the hall. Their eyes were fixed on the magical circle, still fading, and the strange boy in unfamiliar clothes standing beside Lizzy.


    "She summoned a human?!" "This is impossible! No one can summon a being from another world!" "Is this a successful summon?"


    Amidst the chatter, a man with an imposing presence stepped forward. Dressed in a deep blue robe, he was easily recognized as one of the academy''s instructors. His gaze shifted between Lizzy and Suzuki with a neutral expression before he spoke in a calm but audible voice: "It seems we have an unprecedented case here."


    The students fell silent as they realized their teacher was about to intervene. He turned his attention to Lizzy and asked seriously: "What happened here, Lizzy? Can you explain?"


    Lizzy swallowed nervously before answering in a steady voice despite her obvious discomfort: "I performed the ritual exactly as instructed, but... instead of summoning a magical creature, this boy appeared."


    The teacher shifted his gaze to Suzuki, then said thoughtfully: "Hmm... This is unprecedented. However, since the ritual was completed and the seal between you two is established, this summon is considered legitimate. We will determine whether it is successful or not through an evaluation. You both have three days to prepare, after which we will assess the bond between you as master and companion."


    He then turned to address the remaining students: "That will be all for today. You may leave."


    As his words concluded, the students slowly began to depart, their eyes still filled with astonishment and doubt.


    Later Inside the Students'' Dormitory


    Lizzy entered her room, with Suzuki following behind, looking around in surprise. The room was modest¡ª a small bed, a wooden desk, and a medium-sized wardrobe. But what caught Suzuki''s attention the most was the single bed.


    Raising an eyebrow, he said with a playful grin: "Only one bed? Don''t tell me I have to sleep on the floor?"


    You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.


    Lizzy¡¯s face flushed slightly as she crossed her arms and replied, "Of course not! It¡¯s just¡­ I didn''t expect to share my room with anyone."


    Suzuki sat on the edge of the bed, then turned to her with a serious expression. "Alright, let''s put that aside for now. I need to understand what¡¯s going on here. You summoned me, but I wasn''t supposed to be here, was I?"


    Lizzy nodded slowly: "Yes... I was supposed to summon a magical creature to help me with the upcoming test, but it seems the ritual failed and brought you here instead."


    Suzuki chuckled lightly: "Well, I consider myself special, but I didn¡¯t expect to be summoned as a magical creature."


    He then lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling. "So, what happens now? Is there any way to send me back to my world?"


    Lizzy hesitated for a moment before speaking quietly: "No one knows. The summoning process is complex, and it¡¯s never happened before that a human was summoned. But... one thing is certain¡ªthe bond between us, master and companion, can never be broken."


    Suzuki sat up again, his eyes glinting with thought: "So, I have to stay with you all the time?"


    Lizzy nodded: "Yes. From now on, we are bound by this relationship. You can''t stray too far from me, or you will feel intense pain."


    Suzuki paused for a moment, then smiled with a playful tone: "This is like a forced marriage, huh?"


    Lizzy''s face turned crimson once more as she shouted: "It''s not like that!"


    Suzuki laughed softly before lying back down. After a few moments of silence, Lizzy decided to speak seriously: "By the way, there¡¯s something I need to tell you."


    Suzuki sat up, now giving her his full attention. She continued: "My goal is to reach the top at the Royal Academy in the Kingdom of Humans."


    Raising an eyebrow in curiosity, Suzuki asked: "The Royal Academy? What exactly is that?"


    Lizzy took a deep breath before explaining: "Here, in the Elf Kingdom, we study magic for four years. In the final year, we take a major test, and if we pass, we are transferred to the capital, ''Athena,'' in the Kingdom of Humans, where we study at the Royal Academy. There, we learn from the elite sorcerers and compete to reach the top."


    Suzuki asked with curiosity: "And why do you want to do that?"


    Lizzy hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a quiet voice: "My mother is very ill... she suffers from a rare disease, and the cure can only be granted by the King of Humans. The only way to get it... is to be first at the academy."


    A heavy silence followed before Suzuki smiled and said in a tone that was both lighthearted and serious: "Despite everything you''re going through, you¡¯ve never given up? Well, I admire people who don¡¯t quit."


    He sat up straight, looking at her with confidence, and extended his hand: "We each have our goals. Let''s fight together and reach the top. I¡¯ll support you with everything I¡¯ve got, and you¡¯ll do the same. Together... we¡¯ll achieve our goals!"


    Lizzy stared at him in surprise for a moment, then smiled and shook his hand: "Yes... together!"


    In the Kingdom of Humans ¨C A Mysterious Conversation


    In a massive hall inside the Royal Academy in the Kingdom of Humans, two figures stood before a large magical crystal, displaying an image of Suzuki peacefully sleeping in Lizzy¡¯s room.


    The first person spoke in a calm voice, filled with intrigue: "So... the Elf girl summoned a human companion?"


    The second person replied, more seriously: "This is unprecedented. But more importantly... that boy is no ordinary human."


    The first person turned his gaze toward the image, where Suzuki was lying quietly. No one noticed the strange mark that briefly appeared on his hand, glowing for a moment before vanishing.


    "This... is quite interesting."


    Before either could speak again, the crystal suddenly shook... then began to crack, before shattering into tiny fragments!


    A heavy silence followed, and one of them whispered in a low voice: "It seems things are going to get very interesting soon..."


    The End

 Chapter Three_A Flicker of Light in Her Lonely World

    The gentle morning sun filtered through the window, casting its warm glow over Lizzy¡¯s face. She stirred, her eyelids fluttering slightly before she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Though her body still carried the weight of exhaustion from the previous day¡¯s events, a lingering warmth settled deep in her chest¡ªSuzuki¡¯s words from last night still resonated within her, like a flickering ember that refused to be extinguished.


    She turned to her side slowly, her gaze falling upon him. His chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm, his black hair tousled messily over his forehead, his expression soft in sleep. For someone who had spoken with such confidence the night before, he looked surprisingly vulnerable.


    She reached out and gently tapped his shoulder. "Suzuki, it''s morning. Time to wake up."


    "Mmm¡­ five more minutes," he murmured, half-asleep.


    Lizzy stifled a chuckle, watching his peaceful face with amusement. "You were so bold and cool last night, but now you¡¯re just a sleepyhead? How mischievous," she whispered, unable to hide her smile.


    Later.....


    The academy corridors were packed with students as Suzuki and Lizzy made their way toward the lecture hall. The air buzzed with excited chatter, but amid the noise, familiar voices cut through like knives.


    "Look, it''s that half-breed again."


    "Not only is she a disgrace, but she summoned a human? That''s beyond pathetic! Hahaha!"


    Laughter erupted, sharp and mocking. Lizzy, used to this treatment, kept her gaze down and her steps steady. But something felt different today. Their words, usually like daggers in her chest, failed to wound her as deeply as before. His words are still with me¡­ she thought, a faint warmth blooming inside her.


    Then, she felt something firm and warm beside her. Looking up, she saw Suzuki walking next to her, his fists clenched, his jaw tight with anger. He was furious¡ªfurious for her sake.


    She blinked in surprise. Even when no one else cared, he was here.


    The lecture hall was packed, the students buzzing with chatter until a sharp voice cut through the noise.


    "Silence!" The professor¡¯s voice boomed, immediately silencing the room.


    Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    "I have an important announcement," he said, his sharp eyes scanning the class before landing on Lizzy and Suzuki with something that looked suspiciously like amusement.


    "Starting today, there will be no more regular lessons," he declared.


    The students exchanged confused glances, whispers rippling across the hall.


    "You are now in your final year. As you all know, the final examination will determine whether you qualify for the Royal Academy of Advanced Studies in the Human Kingdom of Athena."


    He let the words sink in before continuing. "This exam is far from easy. Historically, only ten out of every hundred candidates pass."


    Tension settled over the room. The nervous murmurs grew louder, fear creeping into the students'' expressions.


    The professor smirked slightly before continuing, his gaze flickering toward Lizzy and Suzuki. "The exam was originally scheduled for next week."


    Silence.....


    "But the administration has decided to grant you all a full month to prepare. Details of the examination will be posted on the academy¡¯s notice board in due time. That is all. Best of luck to you all."


    The weight of the professor¡¯s words settled on the students, but Suzuki barely paid attention. His mind was still clouded with frustration from earlier.


    Later that night, back in their shared dorm room, Suzuki let out a tired sigh as he collapsed onto his bed, rubbing his face.


    "Someone¡¯s exhausted," Lizzy teased.


    He groaned. "For some reason, today felt way longer than usual."


    Lizzy chuckled. "You¡¯ll get used to it."


    "That¡¯s amazing," he murmured, still lying on his back. "I don¡¯t know how you put up with that nonsense every day."


    "I had to,"  Lizzy said with a small shrug, her voice carrying a weight of acceptance.


    "I don¡¯t really have a choice."


    Her words made Suzuki pause. There was something about the way she said it¡ªso casual, yet so heavy. He studied her face, and for the first time, he noticed it. The loneliness hidden behind her gentle smile, the weight of years spent in isolation, the unspoken pain she bore alone.


    After a moment, she cleared her throat, brushing a loose strand of golden hair behind her pointed ear.


    "You must be hungry."


    Lizzy placed two wooden boxes on the table, their lids open to reveal neatly arranged, handmade food. Suzuki, still sprawled out on the bed, lifted his head and stared at her in surprise.


    "Huh? Did you make this?" he asked, taking a seat and peering at the meal.


    Lizzy hesitated, her fingers fidgeting as a faint blush dusted her cheeks.


    "W-Well¡­ yeah. But I¡¯m not sure if it tastes good. This is my first time making food for someone else."


    Suzuki picked up a piece, inspecting it before taking a bite. His eyes widened in surprise.


    "Mmm¡­ really? You¡¯re kidding, right? This is amazing!"


    Lizzy blinked, then let out a small, nervous laugh. "Haha¡­ I was a bit worried, but I guess it turned out okay."


    Suzuki smirked. "Wait, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"


    Lizzy giggled again, shaking her head.


    "No, nothing... I just¡ª" She hesitated for a moment, then exhaled softly. "It¡¯s just¡­ I¡¯ve been alone for so long. The only person I ever truly trusted was my mothr. But now, she''s¡­ bedridden.The nights have been so lonely, and everyone else has only ever mocked and belittled me."


    Her voice trembled as she averted her gaze. "But when you said those words to me yesterday, that you will help and support me¡­ for some reason, that fear inside me started to fade." A faint, almost fragile smile formed on her lips. "I think¡­ I can trust you, Suzuki."


    A heavy silence fell between them. The only sound was the quiet clinking of chopsticks against the wooden bento boxes.


    Suzuki¡¯s heart skipped a beat. His mind scrambled for a response, but all he could manage was an awkward scratch behind his head.


    "U-Uh¡­ D-Don¡¯t worry," he muttered, looking away. "We¡¯ll be together for a long time¡­ so you¡¯ll get used to it."


    Lizzy stared at him, her golden eyes reflecting the warm glow of their dimly lit room. Her lips curled into a soft, genuine smile.


    At that moment, something inside her shifted, The loneliness that had burdened her heart for so long¡­ the cold emptiness of all those nights, the constant sting of cruel words, the aching solitude¡ªthey no longer felt as heavy.


    For the first time in what seemed like forever, she felt warmth, And for the first time in a long, long while¡­ she wasn''t alone.
