CHAPTER - 106
Dav: (Standing up) I guess that's enough for today...
We'll try again tomorrow.
Kael: Alright.
Eldrin: (Waving) See you at dinner, then.
Kael: (Leaving) I'm heading to class.
Narrator: Leaving the arena, Dav made his way to the library in search of Valeria, hoping she could help him find a specific book on the mind.
Arriving at the library, he stopped at the entrance and scanned the area, looking for Valeria to the left and right.
He even looked up, but a cold shiver ran down his spine when a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
He turned around abruptly and shouted:
"Stop appearing out of nowhere like that!"
Valeria loved every bit of it and would never stop doing it.
[Valeria, crouching with her hands behind her back, smiles at him.]
Valeria: Davy! What do you need?
Dav: (Sighs) A book on mind control, aura mastery, and meditation.
Valeria: (Putting a hand on her chin) That shouldn’t be too hard to find.
It'll mostly be psychology books. Let's go look for some!
Two hours later

[Valeria, sitting next to Dav, intertwines her leg with his.]
Valeria: (Flipping through the book) What do you think of this one?
Dav: (Closing the book) Well... It talks about meditation, sure, but it doesn’t really help me control my aura if I lose grip on it.
I need someone who can actually guide me inside my mind...
Valeria: Do you know anyone with a power like that?
Dav: (Thinking out loud) Someone... Someone...?
(Looking at Valeria, eyes wide) ...OH!?
Valeria: (Raising an eyebrow) So that's a yes?
Dav: (Loudly) That damn woman can help me!
Valeria: (Annoyed) Tsk... Another woman?
Dav: (Deadpan) Not just any woman... but a pain in the ass.
My sister.
Valeria: (Curious) What’s she like?
Dav: (Looking at Valeria with a blank stare and a funny expression) She’s a real pain with her powers...
Do you know how many times she tried to get into my mind when we were kids?
Absolutely insufferable.
(Takes a deep breath) Anyway...
Wanna go eat something at the mall with the guys?
Valeria: (Excited) What kind of question is that? Of course!
Dav: (Small smile) Then, once the exams are over on Friday, we'll all go.
Damn, we’re gonna need a bigger van this time... Maybe even a bus! Ahaha.
I’ll ask that old man.
[Meanwhile, the director sneezes]
Director Vittorio: (Shivers) I feel cold...
Narrator: Leaving the library, Dav returned to his room and took a few hours of rest.
Staring at the wall, he muttered:
"I hope those three get along..."
Flashback - The day before
Dav: (Knocking on Fin and Leo's room) Guys, are you in there?
[Leo opens the door.]
Leo: (Curious) Yes, sir.
Is there a problem?
Dav: (Looking at Fin, sitting on the floor) Lazy bum.
(Turning to Leo) Let me in, I need to talk to you guys.
Leo: (Even more curious) Ah... Okay.
Dav: (Sitting on the bed) Would you guys like a much bigger and much, much nicer room?
Fin: (Funny face) What’s the catch?
Leo: (Thinking) Hm?
Dav: (Fiddling with his fingers) You’d have to share it with the heir of the United Kingdom.
He doesn’t want to stay alone and would like some roommates.
Leo: (Uncomfortable) A prince... I’m just a commoner, sir...
It might cause problems.
Dav: (Pinching Leo) There won’t be any problems as long as I’m here.
So, give me an answer.
[Leo smiled, reassured by Dav's words.]
Fin: (Curious) What’s he like?
Dav: (Hand on chin) He’s about your age, I think 16.
He’s very polite and doesn’t seem like a bad guy...
You’ll meet him at lunch in a bit.
Fin/Leo: Alright.
Present
Dav: (Eyes closed) I hope they’re not fighting...
(Thinking) Now that I think about it... Should I help them with their books? Maybe not.
That weird guy specifically told me: "For two connected souls..."
If there were a third, it might interfere.
I don’t want to risk anything happening to them...
Now that I think about it...
I just gave them a book from a really shady guy like it was nothing...
(Shivers, sweating) Sorry, guys...
No turning back now.
