Chapter 403 Interlude: Asteria“s typical day as a student part 10

30 minutes later.
[[[According the Celeste and Kibou's analysis, by this time around, they should have been able to open the books that will allow them to thrive and survive in the trial. After all, the yellow books were meant to protect them. But instead of having the protection that they wanted to have, what these two got was something else instead.]]]
[Celeste]: Ahh!!!
[Kibou]: Ahhh!!!
[[[Celeste and Kibou are both flying hastily right now, with a crowd of murderous-looking monsters rushing behind them. These monsters appeared to be filled with the desire to kill Celeste and Kibou, which made the two run away for their lives.]]]
[[[Fear and confusion could be seen on Celeste's face, as she was clearly surprised with what had just happened.]]]
[Celeste]: Kibou! Why is this happening? I thought that if we opened the yellow books, we will be able to get a creature that will protect us? But instead of having a protector, what came out of those yellow books were creatures that wanted to eat us! Kibou, give me an explanation right now!
[Kibou]: Ki! Ki! Ki!
[Celeste]: So you don't know why too? Argh! What should we do now?
[Kibou]: Ki… Ki?
[Celeste]: We will just fly away until we can escape? Kibou, if we do that we will-
[[[Whatever Celeste was going to say at this point was suddenly cut off, as one of the monsters managed to take a swipe at Celeste's body. Its massive paw smacked Celeste like she was a fly, ignoring all the defensive shields that Celeste conjured.]]]
[One of the monsters]: Roar!
[Celeste]: Ahh!!!
[[[Celeste only managed to let out a shout before the massive paw forced her body to explode. Bits of her flesh then scattered all around the place, with some parts of it sticking on Kibou's face.]]]
[[[It took Kibou a few seconds to process what had just happened, and when the realization of Celeste's fate began to sink on him, the only thing that Kibou could do was shout shrilly.]]]
[Kibou]: Ki!!!!!!
[One of the monsters]: Roar!
[[[The monster who just killed Celeste appeared to have obtained some kind of boost, as its lumbering body sped up as it began to head towards Kibou, who was still in shock with what happened. It took the monster only a few seconds to catch up to Kibou, and once Kibou was within its range, the monster opened its mouth as it released a terrifyingly cold beam of light.]]]
[One of the monsters]: Roar!
[Kibou]: Ki!!!
[[[By the time that Kibou realized the nearby presence of the monster, the monster's ice beam had already hit his body. There was nothing that Kibou could do but to receive the monster's attack, which proceeded to destroy his body.]]]
[[[Boom!]]]
[[[The last thing that Kibou saw as his vision darkened was the sight of Asteria and her lackeys on the ground, with the other monsters rushing towards them with greed. As he saw this, Kibou struggled to move his body as he attempted to save them. But this attempt was futile in the end, as his metallic body shattered like a fragile ice cube. Everything about Kibou were now destroyed into millions of fragmented pieces, turning him into nothing but a pile of spare junk.]]]

SIMULATION COMPLETE.
SCORE: 27/100
GRADE: F
REMARKS: BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME
[Asteria]: Ahhh! Why did I fail this test again! Ahhh! I hate this!
[Celeste]: At least you're the one who got the highest score among us. I only got 10/100….
[Asteria]: Hmph, you got 10/100 because you did something stupid there. I don't know what you did, but I am sure it is something stupid!
[Celeste]: Yeah… I get it. It's my bad.
[Asteria]: Hmph, at least you learned your lesson now.
[Celeste]: Huhu… only 10/100? My mother will punish me because of this!
[Asteria]: Hehehe, good luck with that. So what will your mother use this time? Will it be her belt or her slippers? Mind you, you will be lucky if she uses her slippers. That s**t is way softer than her belt!
[Celeste]: Ah! Don't say it that casually! I am about to get spanked, and you still have the mood to tease me? What kind of friend are you!
[Asteria]: Hmph, if you don't want to experience that, then make sure that you pass the test.
[Celeste]: Huhuhu… but how can I pass the test that is labeled A in difficulty? For me to get even 20 points is already a miracle!
[Asteria]: Hehehe, so my 27 points is beyond miracle then? Hahaha, I am really a genius!
[Celeste]: ….
[Asteria]: Oi, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?
[Celeste]: ….
[Asteria]: OI, stop staring at me like that. It's getting creepy. Wait, are you having the hots for me? I'm sorry but I only like men. But I can still accept a kiss from you if you want one.
[Celeste]: Hey! I don't swing that way!
[Asteria]: Hah? If you're not looking at me because of attraction, then why the hell are you staring at me like that? Geez, your stare is getting on my nerves already…
[Celeste]: Hmph, I am staring at you because of your abnormal score!
[Asteria]: Hah? My abnormal score? What the hell is wrong with my score?
[Celeste]: Asteria, I just told you earlier that getting a score of 20 in this simulation is almost a miracle. And yet you obtained 27 points! How were you able to get a score of 27? Argh, I want to know it! Please, if you know something, tell it to me now!
[Asteria]: Celeste, our memories about the simulation were already wiped away from our minds. Whatever we did there, we will always forget it once we turn the simulation off! So if you want to know how I got a score of 27, then go and ask Teacher Kuro. She's the one who holds the memories of our simulation, so you can just request her to show you that.
[Celeste]: But you know that Teacher Kuro won't do that. She won't show those memories. That's the property of the school already.
[Asteria]: Yes, I know. That's why you should just keep quiet and stop asking anything like that. If you continue to do this, some people will be pissed at you.
[Celeste]: Huhuhu, why are you always this good, Asteria! Why are you always getting the high scores in the simulations? Ugh, this is so unfair!
[Asteria]: Hehehe, I think I am just lucky.
[Celeste]: Lucky? You think your luck allowed you to get high scores?
[Asteria]: Yes, that's what I think. So don't pester me anymore! Without a lot of luck, you will only suck at the simulations! Wait a second, luck and suck actually makes a nice rhyme. Hmm…. No Luck, You Suck! Hey, maybe I can use this as my new catchphrase…
[Celeste]: Ugh, I wish I can have your luck too.
[Asteria]: You want my luck? Hehehe, if you want my luck, just give me lots of honey. Maybe I can bestow you with some of my luck if you give me…. Like 10 jars of honey!
[Celeste]: Hey Asteria! You're just ripping me of! There's no way that you can just give away your luck. Only transcendent beings can try that kind of manipulation!
[Asteria]: Hehe, are you sure about that? Have you seen all of my abilities already? Of course you didn't. So how could you be sure that I can't give some of my luck? Hmph, you're just suspecting me again!
[Celeste]: What? Hey, you-
[Asteria]: Hmph, if you're not sure, then that means that it could happen!
[Celeste]: But-
[Asteria]: Just give me honey, and I will give you some of my luck. Who knows, maybe you can really get some of my luck. But you will only know that if you give me honey… If you will not give me any honey, then you will get no luck at all.
[Celeste]: Argh! You're so sly Asteria! Hmph, I will never give you honey! I know that you're just pulling a fast one on me!
[Asteria]: It's your loss then. How about you Kibou? Do you want some of my luck? Just give me honey, and you will be blessed later!
[Kibou]: Ki? Ki ki?
[Asteria]: Yes, 10 jars of honey will do. Do you have it with you now?
[Kibou]: Ki! Ki ki ki!
[Asteria]: Hahaha! Now that's what I like from you Kibou! You are always prepared! Now give it to me!
[Kibou]: Ki!
[Asteria]: What? You will only give me the honey if I give you some luck?
[Kibou]: Ki!
[Asteria]: You-
[Celeste]: Hahahaha! How about that, Asteria? Why don't you give him some luck first? You said that you can do it, right? Come on, do it already!
[Kibou]: Ki ki ki!
[Asteria]: …Hey, why don't we just go back to our seats and wait for Teacher Kuro to come in? She will do a deep analysis about our simulation, right? We can't just stand here when she comes in. She might get angry at us, you know.
[Celeste]: …Wow, Asteria, you really are shameless. No wonder only few can stand your presence.
[Kibou]: Ki ki ki! Ki!
[Asteria]: Hey! Are you saying that I am a loner? Hmph, with this magnificent appearance of mine, I am never a loner! A lot of hunks and beauties alike are always looking for me everyday!
[Celeste]: Asteria, those people are looking for you because they wanted to beat you up. You can't exactly call them friends that way….
[Asteria]: …
