Looking Forward To It
Atlantius was a city with a very long history behind it.
Although it was not as economically advanced as the one Vivian was staying in, it had a very rich
cultural heritage and a much slower-paced lifestyle.
In fact, it was so similar to Jazona that anyone from that area would fit right in.
As it was autumn at the time, the first thing Vivian and Sonia noticed upon arrival was the golden and
brown leaves scattered all over the streets.
However, the citizens were in no hurry to sweep the leaves away as they enjoyed the beautiful scenery it
created.
For some reason, the sound of the leaves crunching beneath their feet seemed to soothe their hearts
and ease their minds.
Vivian closed her eyes and tried to immerse herself in the beauty of it all.
Sonia, on the other hand, was busy trying to figure out the directions to Atlantius University using a map.
“Vivi, according to this map, it’d take us an hour and a half to get to Atlantius University by either subway
or bus. However, we could get there in thirty minutes if we take a cab instead.”
“Then let’s take a cab.”
Eager to see Kurt, Vivian couldn’t be bothered to rely on public transportation this time.
The two then hailed a passing cab and headed for the university.
Being the chatterbox that she was, Sonia began asking about Kurt along the way. “Kurt is two years
younger than us, right? That means he’s only fifteen now. My goodness, he must be a total genius if he
can get into such a prestigious university at the age of fifteen!”
Vivian’s face was filled with a trace of pride when she heard that.
“Yeah! He’s super smart!”
“He really is! You know what, Vivi? I just realized the guys in your family are all really amazing! If I recall,
one of your brothers is in National Defense University, and the other is working in a research institute,
right?” Sonia asked.
As the two of them had been close friends for years, Vivian would tell her some stuff about her family.
As Vivian was a hardcore fan of her brothers, it was only natural that she would also tell Sonia about
them.
“Yeah, they’re both really amazing. Unlike them, I’m so stupid that I haven’t achieved anything great even
after studying for so long,” she replied, sounding a little dejected.
Sonia was quick to reassure her, “How are you stupid? You’re Lady Adalyn’s personal fashion designer,
for crying out loud! That’s something most of us can only dream about!”
Unsure of what to say, Vivian simply lowered her head shyly in response.
Sonia was about to continue the conversation when Atlantius University came into view in the distance.
I wonder if Kurt will be happy to see me… After all, it was Mr. Frost who came to protect me that day.
Does this mean Daddy has changed the person in charge of protecting me? After all, Kurt did agree to
tell Daddy honestly that I’m dissatisfied with him, and that he would willingly be replaced.
Those thoughts got Vivian feeling anxious all of a sudden.
The cab soon pulled up next to the entrance of the university.
“All right. We’re here, Vivi. Which course is Kurt studying? It’ll be easier to find him if we know where to
start looking. This campus is really huge, so wandering around aimlessly will get us nowhere,” Sonia
said.
Vivian pulled out a notebook from her handbag and replied, “According to my mommy, he’s studying
architecture.”
“Huh?”
Sonia’s eyes went wide instantly.
Architecture? That ridiculously talented genius is studying architecture? Shouldn’t he be doing something
like IT instead? Why would he pick architecture?
Although Sonia found it a little hard to believe, Vivian didn’t think much about it.
She believed that nothing else mattered as long as Kurt liked what he was studying.
The two of them made it through the university’s entrance without any issues from security.
However, it wasn’t long before Vivian’s young and beautiful appearance caught the attention of the
students on campus.
“Are those freshmen too? They sure are getting a lot younger these days!”
“I don’t know. Shall we go ask them?”
“Sure!”
As Vivian and Sonia were walking through the campus grounds, a pretty blonde girl approached them.
She was accompanied by two tall and handsome male students.
“Hello, we’re third-year students here. Is there anything we can help you two with?”
“Huh?”
The two of them, who were walking hand in hand, panicked upon hearing that.
“W-We’re not students here. We just came here to meet a friend. He has only recently enrolled here.”
“Oh, so you two aren’t from here…”
The university students finally understood what was going on here.
I knew it! These two look way too young to be university students!
“Who are you two looking for? We might be able to help you if you tell us more about your friend,” asked
the blonde girl patiently.
