Theresa chocked on her cake, "You what?" she exclaimed between her coughs, her eyes sparkling as she scooted nearer to Cecilia, holding her sister's hands "Tell me more" her sparkling eyes twinkled under the room's chandelier, it was obvious that Cecilia's statement had piqued Theresa's interest, when else would one confess that they've somehow bent and fold the passage of time? To be stuck in a time loop? That was unprecedented to happen to an NPC, of course, Cecilia had expected this reaction but she couldn't help but feel like she was making the wrong decision.
"May I perform a check-up on you?" Theresa's hands squeezed Cecilia's tightly, not letting her go.
"Uh, what sort of check u–" Before Cecilia could finish, her sister pulled her up and through the door, walking quickly while saying hello to her colleagues and friends along the way, she dragged Cecilia through the long hallways of the institute stopping for no one. Cecilia looked around the hallways in awe, it was gorgeous with statues and metal armor being shown off along their ways, trophies, and photos of alumni.
Cecilia bumped into Theresa as she stopped abruptly in front of a room with a plaque indicating that it was the Headmaster's office, "Master~!" Theresa barged in without knocking, resulting in Cecilia face-palming at her actions 'Why must she be like this'
"Theresa dear, what did I say about knocking?" the Headmaster sighed, but quickly dismissed her, as if this was not her first rodeo. "Is that your sister?" he inquired, the Headmaster had short white hair with a white mustache, evidence of his age. The Headmaster wore a brown suit and was reading paperwork on his humble desk,
"Yes master, this is my sister, and she just experienced something truly interesting" Theresa stated, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she told the Headmaster about Cecilia's experience, causing him to hum in amusement,
"Hmm, Katherine, bring in a Main Character" he instructed his assistant, she was a different Katherine than the one who greeted her, and this made Cecilia wonder how many Katherine were there in the academy.
They didn't have to wait for long until a blonde man with blue eyes walked in gracefully, his sword sheathed nicely beside his hips, wearing a knight uniform of white in color, the man entered the room with an angelic smile. Typical of a Main Character.
"How may I help you, Headmaster?" he smiled.
'Sh*t he's gorgeous'
