{(Annoyed) What, nya? I was just in the middle of a nap, nya.}(Master)

The one I ended up connecting with was surprisingly Master.

(Confused) Master?

{(Annoyed) What, nya?}(Master)

I ended up voicing out my confusion as I didn't think I would connect with anyone.

(Surprised) Uh just making sure I heard things right.

{(Irritated) Did you call me just to piss me off, nya?}(Master)

I realized that if I continued not getting to the point, Master might just come and bet my ass.

(Frantic) *Shacks head* No, no, no, I didn't even mean to call you! The system is the one that connected me!

{(Suspicious) And why would it do that, nya?}(Master)

I could practically hear the glare in his tone, and I could feel a cold sweat start to form.

(Nervous) Wweeellllll, Iaskedaboutwhatcreationmagicwasandhowtouseit.¹ I asked about what creation magic was and how to use it.

{(Cold) Rina, how did you learn about creation magic, nya.}(Master)

I could tell by the tone of his voice that this was not a question but an order. I was so nervous that I started playing with my fingers like a kid.

(Nervous) W-Well, you see, I-I was kind of upset and wanted to take m-my mind off of it. S-So, I-I thought about how mana and aura were similar. I then checked it out and tried sorting them, which surprisingly worked! I then tried to sort it all out until this horrible pain took hold around the point I was 5% complete. And well, after I woke up after finishing whatever I did, my everything hurt like hell, and I had formed something called a neutral core and got creation magic.

{(Enraged) YOU WHAT, NYA!!!??!!!}(Master)

I couldn't help but wince and fold my ears back at that as, unlike Master's usually cold and aloof anger. This one was real anger mixed with worry.

(Terrified) I-

{(Enraged) I NOW WHAT YOU DID, NYA!!! I WAS BING SARCASTIC, NYA!!! I- Dammit, nya! You're lucky something just came up, nya! Otherwise, I would have come over and ripped you a new one, nya!}(Master)

*Sigh*

I ended up letting out a sigh of relief at the notion of not being beaten by Master.

{(Pissed) Oh, don't sound so relieved just yet, nya! It's time for a lllooonnnggg lecture on what the hell you just did, nya!}(Master)

When he said that, the thought of just hanging up crossed my mind.

{(Pissed) And don't you DARE hang up, nya! Or I'll actually go over there, and you WON'T like it if I did that, nya!}(Master)

I then felt a cold shiver run down my spine when he said that.

(Meek) okay.

I was so terrified that it barely came out as a whisper over the link.

{(Cold) Now, first things first, nya. Do you even understand the dangers of what you did, young lady, nya?}(Master)

(Meek) death?

{(Upset) You could have died for good, nya!! *Inhale* *Exhale* Don't do something so dangerous it's bad for my heart, nya. Do you know how terrified I was when you told me that, nya?}(Master)

I could feel tears well up at the trouble I was causing

(Depressed) *Droop* *Sniffle* I'm sorry. *Sniffle* I didn't know.

{*Sigh* It's... fine, nya. Just couldn't you have waited a few weeks to do this, nya? At least just ask me first, nya. I was going to help you do it safely instead of you putting you and your sisters at risk, nya.}(Master)

When he mentioned me putting the others at risk, I could feel my heart racing, and breathing became hard, along with tears starting to form.

{(Panicked) Rina, Rina, nya! Breath, nya! All of you are fine calm down and breath, nya.}(Master)

I followed what he said, and I could breathe again, and my heart rate slowed down somewhat, but my hands were trembling in fear. I only then realized that my aura was going rampant and the roof was covered in ice, and I had set a spacial barrier without even realizing it. 

*Bang Bang Boom!*

Suddenly, the hatch to the roof blew off, and the others rushed out and were just staring at me, stunned, with my red eyes and snot-covered face from the little panic attack I was having.

*hiccup*

*Pppssshhh*

After a solid minute of us just staring, I had a very poorly timed hiccup that broke the silence. I could feel my face burning up, and I really wanted to sink into a hole and die of embarrassment. While the others started snickering, causing my head to let off steam.

(5 minutes earlier)

(Snow Pov)

As I was having a pleasant dream, someone started shaking me, sending pain through my body.

"(Groggy) Mmm, go away."(Snow)

"(Panicked) Rina's missing!"(Ella)

The person I saw when I opened my eyes was Ella looking panicked.

"(Annoyed) So? She goes out all the time."(Snow)

"(Frantic) She's a patient! What if she aggravates the wounds!?"(Ella)

"(Annoyed) The mana burn's probably gone, and she probably healed herself."(Snow)

"(Panicked) Still! Help me find her!"(Ella)

She then started pulling my arm until Hail and Izz suddenly shot up, feeling the sudden spike in her emotions.

Due to our quadruplet skill, we could tell the emotional state of each other, and Rina suddenly had a massive spike in negative emotions such as guilt, self-hatred, sadness, loneliness, and, most overwhelmingly, terror.

Ella ended up letting go and falling on her butt, from them suddenly getting up like that, but we just ignored her. I then looked over at them with a serious face.

"We need to find her right now!"(Snow)

*nod*x2

*Flash*x3

We then spread our senses finding her almost instantly as her aura was rampaging on the northeastern tower. I then tried to teleport to her, but there was a barrier around the roof, so I had to teleport in front of the trapdoor. I then tried opening it, but it was frozen shut. I then made way for Hail.

*Bang Bang Boom!*

It took three punches for Hail to send the door flying, and what awaited us was the entire roof was frozen and Rina sitting there staring at us with a stunned look with red eyes and snot dripping down her nose. Her head was resting on her knees.

*hiccup*

*Pppssshhh*

We just stared at each other for a solid minute, and as I was thinking of saying something, she let out a cute little hiccup. Her face then turned bright red while her ears turned a very faint pink. And she buried her face in her knees, and we all started snickering at how cute it was, causing her ears to turn even pinker, and steam came off her head.

"(Embarrassed) Uuhh, please don't look."(Rina)

"Pfft, ahahahaha!"(Hail)

"""Ahahahahahahaha!"""

When she said not to look, all the tension that was left disappeared as Hail started laughing, causing us to follow suit.

---

(Rina Pov)

"(Upset) Stop laughing at me!"(Rina)

When they started laughing, I could tell all the tension was gone, but my shame was rising.

{So I take it you're feeling better now, nya?}(Master)

(Embarrassed) Besides being shamed by my sisters, yeah. 

{Alright, then back to the lecture, nya.}(Master)

(Shocked) Wh-

{Just because you had a mental brake down isn't going to save you from a lecture, nya.}(Master)

"(Annoyed) Mmm."(Rina)

I couldn't help but groan in annoyance which the others heard.

"(Confused) What's wrong?"(Izz)

"(Annoyed) I'm being forced to listen to a lecture by Master."(Rina)

{(Annoyed) I can hear you, nya.}(Master)

"(Annoyed) I know."(Rina)

"You want us to join you?"(Hail)

"That would be nice."(Rina)

*Snap*

I then spread the connection so all of us were included. They all then sat next to me.

{*Sigh* I guess this is a class now, nya.}(Master)
