Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 241: Spin-Off Vol.2 'Clarent Star ': Clarent's Star Nostalgia

( Months after. )

I am now Carlos Antares Calibur.

I no longer be called as Charlotte Antares Clarent, as the name had been buried deep down in secrecy from now on.

I buried all of my past, even my gender, with the help of the [Fairy King's Glitter Ring].

Now, all of them sees me as Carlos, the son of Arthur Calibur.

I who will heir his legacy, not just his, but also King Arthur Pendragon himself.

For I am his 'Ultimate Pureblood Descendant'.

But...

I have to keep it secret, even after Father take me under his wing.

Like always, I must keep silent over my mother's true identity, her true Bloodline.

In the public, I had to publicly address myself as a 'Half-Blood', Arthur Calibur's son from a commoner woman, who happens to be an S-Rank Hunter.

I, who happened to have the Calibur House's [Star Magic], is taken to preserve our Bloodline's very Magic. A task that becomes my responsibility, in the future.

A very arduous task, one I must fulfill to become Father's 'son'...

Thus, I must prove it the best I could do.

To show him that I, even without him, could make him proud in front of all others.

For hence, why I chose the [Prodigal Academy]...

* Carlos' car comes into the Academy's gates. *

" Kyah, it's Carlos Calibur, kya!!! " said the girls who sees me in awe, my face seem to look appealing for them, even as boy.

"( Do I look that handsome? )" I asks myself while looking at his car's mirror.

"( I'm deceiving them..., those poor girls... )" I could only says this in pity, before coming down, immediately entering the Academy's lobby.

I come down, walking as masculine as I could, trying to blend in my new identity as good as possible with the help of the Ring.

As I walk through the aisles, greeted by many girls, I then I heard some murmurs, murmurs of some kids talking something bad and when I heard it, I could tell that it wasn't me they're talking about.

" Hey look at that kid, is he a human? " said one little girl, talking about something scary in her sight.

" I don't know? is he some sort of a Mutant? " the other girl asks which made me more curious on what their object is.

"( Mutant, here? )"

"( You mean there's a Half-Beast student or something, why're they talking like that...? )" I asks myself, while still hearing those who praised me alongside those who talked something bad, their voices combined, making me realized that I'm not the only hot topic in this moment.

I tried to look around, predicted which one that these people are talking, until...

* Eyes widened. *

"( It can't be...!? )" I asks myself, for I then see peculiar boy in front of me, from his back, I see him having a certain Pitch-Black Hair and Skin, alongside Bright Blue flashes in the tips of them.

Seeing it, even if I can't see the face, my heart and mind already told me who that is, the Charlotte within me suddenly returns.

" Ah... " I begin to flustered again, my eyes were suddenly bright, as if I no longer remember the harsh duties needed to uphold as Arthur Calibur's son.

"( I can't believe it, is it him? )" I put my hand on my chest, it begins to burn as the spark within me shines.

"( How is it possible, I thought his parents will assign him in 'Arc Magus Academy', for a Royal-adopted like him...? )"

"( Is it really him, really!? )" I couldn't hold myself, I slowly remembered my time with him back in the Nightcave Dungeon, as we first met, finding the Gem to complete the Fairy's Ring, fighting the Balrog, Drugorath and...

I begin to remember the night we spend together under the night skies as we left that place, as Charlotte, before I disguised myself.

At that moment, unknowns to Donovan.

* Begin remembering... *

I actually kissed him in the forehead, cheek, and...

"( Ahh!!! )" Carlos is so flustered, despite he still managed to hold the outside appearance of his current emotions.

"( Hold it Charlotte, no, Carlos... )"

"( Deep breaths, deep breaths, Kyah! )"

Since I couldn't hold it, I begin to approach him, I hoped and prayed for my guesses to be true, for despite my efforts to hide it, my heart still wants the desire to be true.

* Inhales... *

" Hey Black Boy!!! " I suddenly called the boy out of the sudden, he stops, alongside everyone around us.

" Yes you, are you a monster or something!!!? " I added the question, making it more specific as the boy in front of me stops and turn around, immediately making me happier.

"( Oh my... )" I said as I see the boy turned around, showing his face, making me so happy, for the boy is indeed.

" Who the heck are you? " said the boy, who is indeed the person I knew.

"( It's him... )" I said in my mind with great euphoria.

"( It's really Donovan! )" I said it with great happiness, as fate permits me to meet Donovan once more, better than what I expected before.

After that very meeting, I continue to excel in class, as well as trying to at least bond with him, as his friend...

Secretly watching his very moves behind his notice as I overlapped him in every terms, I enjoyed seeing him and try my best to keep him always around my sight ever since...

" Donovan... " the time shifts into the present time, as all the flashback ended.

I was in my room, after having some training with my 'Aunt', Carol, my Father's young cousin.

As I rest, training my Aether, I see the moonlight, wondering...

" In this moonlight, is Donovan going to be 'Draven' again? " I asks myself, I try to connect between Donovan's and Draven's so-called 'Black Shadows'.

Within my mind, based on my memories, only Donovan had the ability to summon it, I've seen and remembered it well.

" Perhaps it couldn't be him, but someone alike... "

" Since this world is vast, I rather not jump into early conclusions, although... " I began to remember my last fight with Draven.

" If it's truly him... " I flustered while seeing the Invisible Fairy King's Ring in my fingers.

" Ahh... " I hoped so much as I sniffed the ring, the ring that Donovan once used before me.

" I can still smell it..., fufufu... " I said it as I looses it within my very room, witnessing the Moonlight from my place.

( In the meantime. )

< Location: Crystal Glowcave Dungeon >

< Dungeon Type: Epic >

Donovan (Draven) and Raksha is seeing the Moonlight, after hours of recounting, Donovan then finally remembers the girl he met back then, he finally remembers the name.

" Ah yes, her name is... " Donovan says this to Raksha.

" The girl's name, is Charlotte. "

" She who uses [Clarent Star], the Magic I remembered she used, when fighting the Balrog, Drugorath! " Donovan finally remembers it.

Thus, after all of the recounting, the night ends, for both Draven (Donovan) and Carlos (Charlotte).

[ Spin-Off Volume 2 Fin ]

This is the end of Spin-Off Volume 2. "Clarent Star" For months after this Webnovel will take some hiatus, after this I will continue to Volume 5.

By the way this Final Chapter had the flashbacks of Chapter 38-40 "Donovan's Academy First Day 1-3" but from Carlos' perspective and also the Timeline here, after all of the flashbacks, are during Donovan's time with Raksha in the end of Chapter 224 "Spin-Off Vol.1 'Dark Stranger ': Extra 3".

I hope you all enjoy the Volume for its short story, but I assure you it will all be important. Thank you.

Also, after this, some Extras will be released.

If you're wondering if Carlos' real identity is already been hinted or not, I say no, since Carlos' disguise is too perfect to be noticed. That's all.
