The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Meanwhile, at Aurous Hill University…

The vibrant atmosphere of Aurous Hill University filled the air as the freshmen completed their registration, got their class placements and were assigned counselors. Today, the school distributed military training uniforms to all the students in preparation for the two-week training that would commence tomorrow morning.

To avoid the hassle of daily commuting, both Maria and Claudia made the wise decision to reside on campus. As they chatted in their dormitory, they busied themselves with arranging their beds and personal belongings.

Ever since the tragic loss of her family, Claudia had become guarded and rarely engaged in conversations with others. During her time in Canada, she had placed her trust in only two people, Aunt Lewis and Lisa. However, despite Claudia’s usual reserved nature, she discovered an unexpected connection with Maria. Their conversations flowed effortlessly and Maria’s engaging presence made Claudia feel as though they had known each other for a lifetime.

From Claudia’s perspective, Maria possessed not only beauty and grace but also depth and education. Her every movement exuded elegance and decency. Deep within her heart, Claudia admired Maria and even subconsciously regarded her as a role model.

Maria, in turn, treated Claudia like a caring older sister in all aspects of their lives together, be it at school, in their dormitory, or in Claudia’s presence. Maria’s kindness and warmth nurtured a special bond between them.

Although Maria had a genuine desire to get closer to Claudia, she also felt that Claudia’s personality was the perfect counterbalance to her own. Despite her curiosity about Jagoan, Maria hesitated to bring him up in their conversations. She yearned for another encounter with him, but she also feared that he might not trust her and would test her with his reiki once again.

Although Jagoan’s psychological suggestion had no practical effect on her, the aftermath of his reiki entering her mind still lingered. Maria couldn’t help but frown as she observed Claudia chatting away. Concerned, Claudia noticed her expression and asked, “Cathy, is something bothering you? Are you feeling unwell?”

Maria forced a smile, rubbing her temples and replied, “It’s nothing, just a headache.”

Caution laced Claudia’s voice as she inquired, “Is it your time of the month? Our counselor mentioned that if you’re experiencing discomfort, you can inform her and she’ll help us request leave from the instructor.”
