Exploring the Dimension After Reincarnation: Academic

Nightfall

In short, the three of them reached Kai and Leon's house. Elena was less concerned with where they were going, she paid more attention towards the almost dark afternoon sky with a thick crowd of clouds covering the view. What Elena was looking for was the moon, because if it was there, she could recover a bit of her natural energy using Lunarkinesis. Unfortunately, a thick cloud covered Elena's gaze so that she could not see the sky scene.

“Excuse me, we're home!” leon said in a rather loud voice as he opened the door of the house.

Elena and Kai stayed behind her. They both prefer to wait by letting Leon open the door. Apparently, Kai had a more reserved attitude, whereas this was still quite normal for Elena because she felt awkward.

A short time later, a woman appeared after opening the door. She-Catherine-looked red hair the same as her two sons, only she braided her long hair. His skin was white, and he had orange-colored eyes. She seemed to be such a friendly person that Elena did not put any vigilance on her. After all, if most people had evil intentions, then Elena would never be able to sleep and would always be wary of everyone.

“Welcome, you two spent quite a bit of time looking for Penther. It seems, you two didn't get any of them, but it's okay because it's not that easy to catch one in the wild. If you give up looking for it, you can buy it in the store. I have no problem with spending a little money,” he said with a sweet smile on the three.

“No, Mother, I will not give up just because of one failure. Even if I had to repeat it hundreds of times, I would still do it.” Leon clenched his hands with his face filled with spirit. “I will definitely become a great Trainer like Father and Sister in the future. Together with Kak Kai's help, I can definitely find one Penther that suits me!”

“OK, okay, I know very well you are excited to become a Trainer, but do not force yourself, yes.” Catherine then turned her eyes to Elena. “You, what did you do to have that torn clothing sleeve? I can guess that these two children have helped you in a difficult situation, but what just happened to you?”

“Eh?” Elena regained her senses, then looked at her left arm. ‘Ugh, I forgot. The previous attack of that person had managed to cut off my left hand, making me have the sleeves of the clothes cut off. I can heal my hands, but the story is different if it's my clothes. I do still have a change of clothes in the shadow storage, but I absolutely cannot take any of them.’

“Eh! I think, it is a style of dress that is currently trending, so right, huh?” Leon just stamped it in wonder, as if what he did was not something strange.

‘I didn't even notice and pay attention to it at all,’ thought Kai.

“Yes-Well, some things happened until my clothes could be torn up like this, I myself was not aware when this happened. But more importantly, introduce, I am Madison Elena, just call Elena because this is my name with the other one being a surname. I'm just a passerby who just happened to get lost in there.”

“Eh? I thought you had a Penther with you during the trip, which you put in the pet House. Quickly, I feel strange with you walking alone in the wilderness,” said Leon astonished.

‘Hmm, I didn't notice this either. Indeed, it was very common for a weak Trainer to inherit a strong Penther belonging to their parents so that they were of such high level with no experience. Really, it's so unique there's someone without Penther in this world,’ Kai thought.

‘It's still not a day, but I've got another term. In essence, something called the Pet House is an object that can be used to store Penther. The form of the Pet House itself is a pale white crystal and will change color depending on the element Penther when something goes into it.’

‘By the way, one of the Red Moon members who issued a high-level spirit used this thing as its spirit container and Kai also used it a while ago, too, but unfortunately I didn't notice when he did.’

Elena fell silent and her brain worked very hard considering the most logical answer that could be given at this moment. He was unable to give an origin answer or this would only add to Catherine's suspicions. If he could, he would have to give a completely logical reason in this situation and not involve about his parents as there was indeed nothing in this world.

“Ak-I, I'm just lucky to have gotten into that forest without any wild animals coming my way. By the way, inside the forest it was very peaceful and there were no predatory beasts of any kind. I didn't receive any injuries while I was inside, and I didn't realize when my jacket's arm was torn. Is this answer enough?” said Elena.

‘I know, I know! This explanation I gave was completely absurd and like giving it all up on luck. In fact, I also risked my luck so that they could believe in this explanation. If only I could find others more logically, I would definitely use that excuse. Using luck like this is really not my style, and I'm sure Noctis will laugh hearing me get cornered.’

‘Ugh, my telepathy could have been developed into something else to make other people's minds I manipulated. But, I needed more energy and needed a deep focus at that moment. In my exhausted condition right now, there is not much I can do using psychic abilities.’

The three of them could only fall silent listening to Elena's absurd explanation. The three of them were unable to swallow this information raw and just like that so the three looked at Elena intensely and waited for another explanation Elena. Elena herself who was the informer started to shrink and really wished they believed about this.

“So so yes. You are just in luck.” Catherine patted her hand gently to melt the atmosphere. “Please enter! I'll make dinner for the three of you. Meanwhile, you can use the bathroom, really, Elena.”
