Naomi’s POV

I had arrived at the hotel where we will be staying for 1 month. The hotel is a 5-star hotel located in the center of Avos Island near the school that I need to attend when the program has started.

The hotel itself is big, it has 35 floors. I managed to secure the top floor because of my position. When the receptionist told me the price, I almost lost control of myself because of how high the price is. The price is 50 times higher than the 5-star hotel that we rented for the opening ceremony of Akasa Inc.

But after thinking about where we are right now, I just nodded and paid with my card. I never thought that I would spend a lot of money on my first day on Avos Island.

After finishing the check-in, I went to my room while Hotaru went to her room. Arrived in my room, I look around and nodded in satisfaction. The room is as big as my nap room in my office, so I had no complaint.

I approached the bed and dived in. The bed was soft and comfortable, to the point it sink when I lay on top of it. Because there is no one saw me right now, I rolled around the bed like a child. I really want to try this when I book a room in the hotel.

After rolling around a few times, I feel satisfied and went to open the minibar that was provided in the room. Inside the minibar, there is a variety of drinks. From orange juice, tea, to gin, vodka, rum, even a bottle of champagne.

I was tempted to open the champagne, but I remember that I am not 17 yet so I stop myself.

“Just wait for 6 months Naomi, and you could enjoy the champagne.” I muttered to myself.

Taking a can of orange juice from the minibar, I closed it. I drink some of it and put the can on the table while I opened my bag to take out my clothes. There is a closet in the room, so I use my Telekinesis to organize my clothes in the closet.

I can do it manually, but why? I have a Telekinesis which is convenient, I don’t need to do it using my own hands.

After I am done organizing my clothes, I changed from my suit into a comfortable white t-shirt and navy blue skirt. The skirt I had chosen was short, stopping above my knees. That’s why I put on knee-high black socks.

I look at myself in the mirror in the room and still didn’t feel satisfied with my appearance. I observe closely to see what’s wrong with my arrangement, and I feel that my hair is a bit longer than usual. After I realized it, I don’t mind it too much and grab on my wallet. I didn’t forget to bring my suitcase with my weapon inside. I could hide my weapon if I wear a suit, but right now because I am wearing a t-shirt, so that is impossible.

After making sure everything is ready, I walked towards the door that lead to the hallway.

When I opened the door, I saw Hotaru leaned against the wall waiting for me. Thinking that she will restrict my movement, I close the door immediately.

I think about a way to avoid Hotaru because I want to roam freely. The best way is to contact her and told that I was sick, but that means she will enter my room to check it. My second best way is to fly out of the room with my Telekinesis, but that has its own problem. My identity as C-Ranked Esper could be blown if they saw me fly.

Then, there is the last choice. I pulled out my holo phone and messaged Mischa. I managed to get her number through Hotaru 10 months ago, and we exchange messages every now and then.

The reason why I wanted her numbers was to befriend her. To be honest, I often envied Rekka’s relationship with Hyun-Woo. They acted like they are best friends in front of me, and that made me a bit irked because I had no friends.

Then I remember about Mischa, the girl that managed to put me in a bind for a second or two. That’s why I asked Hotaru for her number. Which, fortunately, Mischa allowed and we become some sort of online friends.

When I was about to text Mischa, I changed my mind and put my holo phone back in my pocket. I decided to exit the room without minding Hotaru and walk away casually. Before I open the door, I wear a black mask that hides my face under my eyes.

I opened the door and exited my room, I didn’t forget to close and lock it before I walked to the right to avoid Hotaru that stood at the left of the door.

I walked casually and managed to reach the elevator to go down. But, when the elevator arrived, I had a different thought.

‘Strange, although I walked away casually, it’s strange if Hotaru didn’t spot me at all.’

I decided to check my behind and the hallway, but I didn’t see Hotaru anywhere. With her personality, she would never leave me unless there is something important.

‘Something interesting must’ve happened outside.’

I grinned under the mask and stepped into the elevator. I pressed the button to go down to the ground floor and waited.

‘I wonder what happened~ I hope it’s a fight~’ I thought as I was guessing about what happened that need Hotaru to leave me alone.

After a while, a ding sounded and the elevator door opened. I arrived in the lobby and look around to see if there is something happened.

I look to my left and there is nothing unusual. I turn to the right and saw a crowd gathering in front of the hotel entrance.

‘Bingo!’

I approached the crowd to see what’s going on, but I can’t see anything!

I backed away for now decided to hear what’s going on. But, because of the noise, I don’t know exactly what they are talking about. In the outer of the crowd, I saw a blond-haired girl my age jumping around trying to see past the crowd.

I approached her and asked her a question. “Excuse me, what’s going on here? Why is there a crowd forming here?”

I managed to grab the girl's attention as she turned towards me. When the girl turned around, I saw a tattoo of a crescent moon on the girl’s waist for a second before her clothes hide the tattoo again.

‘This girl… a member of my organization?’

“What are you talking about? Of course, it is to see the arrival of the new SSS-Ranked Esper from the Esper Association!”

“Hmm, new SSS-Ranked Esper? If I remember correctly, there is no such news though?”

‘If there is new SSS-Ranked Esper, I definitely will pay a visit at them.’

“Oh, are you from outside? I can understand if you don’t know the news if you came from outside Avos Island.” The girl had a knowing look and nodding her head as she said that. She pulled out a holo phone and show me an article from the Avos Island website.

The news was about an announcement about the program next month and the discovery of new SSS-Ranked Esper. There is a picture in the article, when I saw it, I saw a familiar face.

“Mischa?” I let out a voice subconsciously and the girl responded.

“That’s right!! Her name is Mischa Belyaeva! She was supposed to arrive today, that’s why a lot of people want to meet her! After all, she’s the 4th SSS-Ranked Esper known in the world.”

The girl looked proud as she put her hand on her waist. I, on the other hand, was surprised that Mischa was going to arrive today. She didn’t tell me anything about it.

‘Hmm, she didn’t tell me anything. Perhaps she wanted to surprise me? That explains why Hotaru disappeared all of a sudden. Maybe Mischa texted Hotaru to pick her up.’

I thought as a smile plastered on my face unconsciously. Fortunately, I wear a mask. Someone would assume that I’m crazy if they saw me smiling by myself.

“Thank you, I hope you can meet her.” I said to the girl and waved my hand. “Have a good day.”

The girl replied as she waved her hand too. “Have a good day too~”

I walked away from the hotel after that. My destination is Chi’s café.

‘Well well well, if she wanted to surprise me, I can’t let her have all the fun~’
