The Rise Of Calamity

Finally leaving the academy, my father, Olivia, and Jack together while not saying a single word.

'That was pretty cool of you' Olivia snickered through the mind link

'F*ck off' I barked back, while she simply responded with a small shrug from her end.

Finally, we found ourselves in the city center again, which was bustling with activity. People with extravagant clothing and noble postures walked around the place with enthusiastic smiles. There were barely any people below the middle class in the area, most of them being nobles or merchants that had watched this year's entrance exam. However, many had solemn expressions on their face, most of them being people who had some of their children take part in the entrance exam. This usually happened to those who did not have anyone working in the army or as a mercenary. However, the other half were generally people who were part of merchant families, not able to afford tutors for their children, or simply did not have any family techniques on how to get stronger at a faster pace.

This did not mean that all the people at the merchant level had solemn looks, but rather that the majority did.

We did not speak to each other at all in the whole journey, but instead stayed silent and looked around like tourists on solo vacations, as if we weren't even walking together. I kept looking at all the clothes the noblewomen would buy and wear, before finally sighing while the face of my mother flashed within my eyes.

'I guess I am kinda soft' I thought while halting my steps.

"Hey, dad?" I finally voiced, making the others halt their steps too.

"Yeah, sweetie?" He replied with an amiable smile

"How about me and Olivia go a bit of clothes shopping? I'm sure mom would be excited to see me in something that is not my usual trench coat and black clothes" I smile softly, taking my father back.

"Really?" He asked with a suspicious tone of voice

"Yes"

He looked towards Olivia who simply smiled back in agreement.

"She is young, and I can teach her some fashion sense. With the fashion sense she currently has she might even get bullied when she goes to school if she doesn't already haha" Olivia voiced

"..."

"..."

"What?" She asked while looking at us, staring back at her while either rubbing the back of our necks or looking away with aloof expressions,

"..."

"..."

This time she didn't even ask and simply looked back at us with a questioning tilt of the head.

"I don't go to school" I finally spoke

"You don't? I completely forgot you were a noble! So what, home school?" She asked

"I finished homeschooling a year ago and I am more intelligent than most of the adults within an 800-meter radius. I'd have to say, only the merchants are more intelligent than me, the rest are idiots at best." I declared smugly, causing my father to facepalm and Jack to laugh heartily.

"Anyway, we are gonna go now. Let's meet up at the teleportation gate in 1 and a half hours." I aloofly said.

"Sure, we are going to a bar near here and then we'll meet you there. Also, Panni, try to be a little more formal in this area. Most of the nobles are unforgiving, so don't give them any shells within their cannons." My father warned with a serious tone

"Sure, whatever you say." I replied while dragging Olivia towards the nearest place."

A few seconds later, I heard a shout "OH WAIT! YOU NEED MONEY!"

"Don't worry dad, I have lot's in my dimension ring." I waved while running out of his sight.

'Analysis' I thought before seeing a slight flash of golden yellow in the semifinals of my eye.

'I know you have no cognitive thinking abilities, but due to you being 3extremely calculating, can you set a timer for 1 hour and 15 minutes?'

[...]

[...]

[Recontructing porwess]

[Recontruction complete]

[Timer set: !h 14m 58 secs]

'Never thought I would be using this divine instrument as a timer before' I inwardly chuckled.

'So where are we going?' Asked Olivia with the same uncaring monotone voice she always used within our mind link

'You are gonna have a once in a lifetime opportunity here. I am willing to play doll for you, and you can dress me how you see fit. I want something comfortable while also good enough for my extravagant mother to feel good about I replied solemnly

'Sure, whatever you say' She shrugged nonchalantly

'You are going to realize how much you are missing out on for not taking this seriously when you look back at this moment in the future I thought after suppressing the mind link.

'I can't get used to the voice changes' Olivia inwardly sighed while following me to the nearest store.

1 hour later

"Why did you do this to me?" I grumbled with a slouched back

'Didn't want to regret it in the future' She smugly grinned back at me.

"F*ck you" I replied while raising my middle finger at her.

I was currently wearing a blood-red dress that covered everything up to my chest. The dress would stip at the chest, showing little cleavage before showing two red straps that go to the side of my shoulders. It had weird better looking puffy things at the top linin. It did not have a hood which made it so I could not hide or cover my face whenever I needed to, nor did it have any pockets for me to use, even though I had my dimensional rings to use. Any weapon I were to try to conceal in this dress would be visible to the blindest of people, and the worst thing about the whole look was that I had to wear high heels.

The high heels made it extremely uncomfortable for me to walk, not to even mention fighting. The movement capabilities were severely lowered in them, and with the combination of the heels and the dress, it felt Like I was learning to walk in that body again.

My blond hair on the other hand had been tampered with some kind of voodoo magic, making it go all swervy dancing left to right every time I took a step. I remembered all my etiquette classes before this point, which helped me remember how noblewomen are supposed to walk when in public.

"You look good. Any man would fall for you with those looks" Olivia snickered.

"Oh god no!" I shouted back with despair and worry filling my helpless eyes.

'We should get going though. None of us have a watch on us so the best thing is to go there now, and even if they aren't there, we can just wait for them.' She opened the mind link.

"Wanna get a coffee?" I asked while staring back over my shoulder.

'I just said that-'

"Don't worry, we still have around 30minutes left, and if we move 15 minutes early, we should be fine" I waved nonchalantly.

Walking forwards, I realized she wasn't following me, causing them to stop and ask "Are you coming or what?"

'How did you know the time?' She asked

'ugh. I counted, now stop looking at me like that because it's grabbing people's attention. My divine presence alone is sending a domineering aura into the souls of everyone around us, so the faster we move the less attention we will gain' I complained, however, it was already too late. Many of the noble young men had already laid their eyes on me, making it extremely hard to run away without them noticing me. That plus the fact that my attire was not suitable for walking, let alone running.

"Excuse me, young miss, can I have a moment of your time?" Aske the bravest gentleman in the area.

"No! I am about to be late, so if you don't mind I'll be running" I replied while using gravity magic to boost my speed and make it easier to walk on the heels while using wind magic to keep the skirt off the floor so I would not trip on it by accident.

"Wait, young miss, please, tell me your name." Another young boy within the presence of his mother shouted at me while I ran with Olivia right behind me.

"I really need a concealment technique" I shed an internal tear while trying my hardest not to straight out punch one of my pursuers
