Henry did not want to wake Madel up so he made a spiritual barrier to ward of the sound.

"Nice to meet you again, I'm Helen." She introduced herself again while waving her hand.

Henry was a little amused but he waved back at her with a force smile.

"Francis stayed in our house yesterday, did you know mother made him sleep in my courtyard. Tsk." Helen continuously spoke.

"They must really want him as a son in law." Henry gave a teasing smile and looked at Francis. His eyes almost pooped out from shock and embarrassment.

"Well you know, nothing happened. He does not have any balls and did not dared to enter my room." She said.

"Why would I go into your room little ugly duckling!" Francis scoffed. Since the lady beside her does not want to tone it down a little neither did he.

They started quarreling again. Henry touched Madels head gently making sure she is not affected by the on going battle behind them. Helen of coursed noticed it.

[damn this residual feelings.] she said as she felt jealous.

The attitude and mood of the previous owner of the body was like that and somehow Helen felt at ease to go with that type of personality. She had been very graceful, modest, quiet and overall feminine before. Although she wanted to try many things, she opted to protect her image. Because of that she missed a lot of opportunities to have fun and express herself.

Henry shook his shoulder a little and removed the spiritual barrier around Madel when they arrived at the academy. The latter had been sleeping in his shoulders for almost half an hour now. It was like that each time Madel got to seat next to Henry.

Madel was known for her ability to sleep anywhere anytime. Inside the classroom, when sitting or standing, while reading and even while eating. It was not a surprise for Henry that she doses off at the carriage. He makes sure that the seat next to him is empty whenever possible. Madel as naïve as she is, never noticed it, and probably she never will.

It was not her intent to sleep in his shoulders. Because in fact, as shameless as it is, she does it to anyone who seats next to her. Henry with his protective nature, although he is annoyed, he knew what to do to prevent his naïve friend from embarrassing herself.

There are times when Cheska would ride the same school carriage as them. She is often late so she misses the school carriage most of the time. When this happens. Cheska as the first to ride the bus does the same as Henry. Henry was the next one to ride the bus, since he knew Cheska, he will feel obliged to seat beside her.

Madel will sit anywhere if it happens because the bus is arranged in two line of seats in the left, and two lines at the right. The silent politics between the three had been going on for ages, in fact it was not just the three. The previous Helen was also included.

Francis who was thinking that Helen was like his best friend back on Planet Hilan dismissed his thought. The noisy girl beside him was just the opposite.

In school, the principal called Francis in his office. Recognizing his strength, the principal knew that he would be a great asset in their school, especially in the upcoming interscholastic tournament. Being able to kill shadows meant that Francis was a godly existence. To persuade him, the principal said that the school will manage his accommodation, and lodging. He will be given food, allowance and he can live in one of the villa's inside the school.

Francis agreed. He learned that the academy is called Gray Academy. It sounded like his previous school in High school, Kray academy, where he met Yuki. Then the principal accompanied him to the classroom, where everyone was waiting. He immediately saw Cheska, and Madel. They smiled sweetly upon seeing him.

Then he saw Henry who gave him a simple smile and then Helen, whose face was plastered with disappointment, shock and different emotions that he could not fathom.

In Gray academy, students met once a month as a class, for announcements, assessment and assigning of tasks. They may meet frequently as a group when they are organizing something. Their classroom teacher will assess their learning thru question and answer, activity, output or project, then another set of tasks, or manual will be given to the students to be studied. They will meet again after a month or two, even after a year, depending on the task. The tasks and manuals are divided into two.

One is for cultivation and the other one is for their course. Henry and his friends are taking the course for healers. They are aiming to become physician. Graduating on the academy is based on the performance of a student. A long checklist of task should be accomplished, before they graduate and earn a 1 star degree.

Like for healers, they need to be able to concoct a grade 1 pill. a separate checklist for the pills that they need to concoct is available. But it is as many as 100 types of pill. Recognizing herbs and knowing how to use it was also included in their checklist and so on.

"One of our task is to grow an herb garden. It is a group task. Our output will be assessed after a year." Cheska updated Francis as he seated near them.

For some reason, Henry and his friends welcomed Francis in their group without any reservations. With this Helen felt devastated. Although she also made herself welcome to the group although she was in fact a stranger, having Francis around was like reliving her past. They became friends, she fell in love, she hoped for him to love her back until she died as an old maid. The tragedy can never repeat itself.

"Think Helen, how can you unlove someone whom you loved for the longest time?" she pondered while giving Francis secret glimpses.

Francis caught Helen's glimpses and he had goose bumps because of it.

"This lady must be planning to kill me secretly and throw me somewhere where beast can eat my flesh until I could not be recognized even by my late mother." Francis thought to himself.

Helen was giving him sharp gazes from time to time, showing her utmost dislike towards him. What she did not realize was that Helen's face was very expressive and her thoughts were like an open book. Francis concentrated on listening to the professor but he was feeling creeped out.

"Aha, I will look for someone to fall in love. That's a great plan." Helen smiled as thought of it.

Cheska noticed the reaction of Francis. She smiled and said.

"Our late friend has the same expression as that transmigrant soul." Cheska said with painful smile.

"She is so weird that nobody wanted her as a friend. Until we met each other, we are a group of odd balls." She added.

"I see, the transmigrant acts the same as Helen your late friend." He rephrased.

"her emotions are like a roller coaster ride." Cheska said again.

Just as they were talking, Helen's expression changed again to the one with a remorseful look. Cheska almost laughed out loud.

"Wait, this is a polygamous planet, if I marry someone of the same status as mine I would have to share my husband with another woman. Oh no no no." she almost slapped herself thinking that she can't swallow marrying in this lifetime because she does not want to share her man.

"Oh no, I will die as an old maid again. No no no." Helen was almost weeping.

Francis just shook his head as he smiled. Helen was very transparent.
