Chapter 41: ch41 < Academy>
Several days later.
Having donned the uniform that had been sent via owl, I made my way to Delsgade. Today was the first day of school.
Many students were passing through the front gate, heading into the grounds. At a glance, I could distinguish two types of uniform.
The one I wore was white, but there was a black version of it.roughly a fifty-fifty split.
I then went towards my classroom.
Misha looked at me with no particular emotion. "Good morning misha chan"
"Is this seat free?" I asked Misha
"Yeah." Hm let's move to other side.
OK. She was fine with it and we move to other row leaving this area for anos.
I pulled out the chair for her and then sat down beside her.
As we are having a conversation with each other anos come and said.
"Greetings, fellow classmates! I have come to reign over this class! Any soul who dares defy me will meet their immediate demise!"
Instantly all students start murmur with each other.
Misha has her eyes raised. While I look at everyone. It seems anos has low common sense.
That person is weird. Said Misha.
I don't think. Its that weird.
Why she asked.
That's because I can sense destruction which demon king specialize inside him.
So there are chances that he is the reincarnation of demon king of tyranny. She asked.
Yes. I replied.
But why are people making distance with me and anos.
"it is because of the badges you two are wearing "answered Misha.
As I looked at my batch. I remember isn't this badge for misfit.
< what the hell why did I get a misfit badge >
Seeing my facial reaction. Misha start petting my head saying everything will be alright.
I blushed when she treat me like a kid but I let her did it.
Sasha ignored me because I'm near Misha. I even waved my hand but she didn't bait an eye.
Acquaintance. Misha asked.
Yes, but I got no response.
The school bell rang and the teacher.
"I'm Emillia Ludowell, this year's homeroom teacher" Emilia said.
She then show a huge magic circle that was drawn on the white board.
"This is probably the first time you've seen it but this is the magic circle for <Gyze>. Briefly put, under the hand of the king it gives strength to the subordinates in his army. We'll be practising this in class. You will attempt to draw this formation and if it's judged that you can then you have the qualification to be a team leader.
"Right. Please raise your hand if you want to be team leader."
Looking around she saw about 5-8 people were raising their hands. Anos also raised his hand.
he is the only one who wore a white uniform that raised their hand. And from the teacher's expression she didn't expect any one form the commoners batch to raise their hands.
"Arnos-kun was it? I'm sorry but you don't qualification to be team leader."
'oh here comes a face slapping 'thought karna as he regrets not bringing any popcorn for the incoming show.
He improved gyze proficiency by 2times. Emilia shocked face was quite funny.
Now anos is allowed to became a team leader while my connection will directly grant me a leader status.
"now then the candidates who are chose to be team leader please stand up " Emilia spoke.
At her words five students including Anos stood up.
"first start by letting the team leaders introduce themselves, Would be kind enough to be first Sasha ".
She grips the edge of her skirt and bows elegantly and said,
"I'm from the Necron family and a direct descendant of one of the original 7 demon emperors Aivis Necron. I'm Sahsa Necron the witch of ruin. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
Sister huh . I said while looking at Misha.
Yes. Misha reject with low mood.
Don't worry she don't hate you. I replied her.
Really she asked.
Yes. I'll help you in batch up with her in few days. I said to her.
Her eyes shined a bit. Thank you. She said while smiling.
You should smile a little more. Your smile is beautiful. Karna commented as he looked at her face. She blushed a little.
Soon anos turn come and stand up.
"I'm the Demon King of Tyranny Anos Voldigoad. I'll tell you all right now that the name of the demon king you believe in is fake.
The real name is Anos Voldigoad. Not that any of you will believe me. I don't blame you though. In time, you will understand. Pleased to meet you."
The way he say everything was so funny. It was hilarious that a prodigy like anos lack common sense.
The class became loud instantly because of his declaration but Emilia was too shocked to say anything to Anos because of anos earlier stunt.
< >
After class, as we were planning to leave for lunch .Sasha approached me with a cold expression on her face.
"Hello, Sasha," I greeted her, trying to lighten her mood.
"Heh, I just want to give my condolences to you for deciding to make friends with this magic doll," Sasha said mockingly, casting a contemptuous glance at Misha.
"When you say 'defective doll,' are you referring to Misha?" I asked, my tone curious yet firm. Since I know she is only putting a facade.
"Don't you know? That child isn't a demon, but she's not human either. Like I said earlier, she's a defective doll-san. No life, no soul, no will. Just a trash doll that only works due to magic," Sasha sneered.
"You shouldn't say something like that about your sister."
"I've never thought of that doll as my sister. Not even once," she snapped, her voice laced with bitterness.
Her Eyes of Destruction activated, the dark energy swirling menacingly around her irises, but they caused no harm to me or Misha.
"How is he still alive?" someone shouted from the back of the class.
"I can't believe it. He's fine after looking Lady Sasha in the eye..."
"The last time I accidentally looked into them when they were activated, I was put into a coma for a year..."
"What's happening? Isn't that white uniform guy a misfit?"
"Look, Sasha. I don't sense hostility from you when you say mean things to Misha. Why are you putting on an act?" I said , maintaining my calm demeanor.
Seeing that I was starting to expose her, she panicked and hastily said, "I hate her. I hope she dies somewhere." With that, she turned on her heel and returned to her seat, her façade cracking.
"I'm sorry," Misha muttered beside me, her voice barely audible.
"There's no need to apologize. I don't know why, but Sasha doesn't possess any negative emotions regarding you. Is she forced by her family, or is there some other circumstance?" I speculated.
"But how can you tell?" she asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.
"My magic eyes." I pointed at my eyes, and my irises shifted from blue to a striking bluish-purple.
"Oh!" She gasped, her breath catching as she saw the transformation. It was her first time witnessing such eyes. She pondered deeply on my words, her mind racing with thoughts.
After lunch, Emilia continued her class, and the lessons proceeded as usual. The atmosphere remained tense, a tangible weight pressing down on everyone after Sasha's earlier outburst.
At the end of our first day, Sasha approached me again, her expression determined. "Let's fight," she demanded.
"With me? What type of game is it?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Didn't Emilia-sensei say that in one week we will be tested by fighting each other? How about betting on that? The loser has to do what the winner asks," she proposed, a challenging glint in her eye.
I smirked. "I see. It certainly is amusing."
"Then, what are the stakes we are betting on?" I asked, my fighting spirit ignited. I would never say no to a challenge.
"The bets are simple. I'll do anything you say," Sasha said confidently.
"And if you win?" I asked, curious about her request.
"If I win, I want both of your absolute obedience," Sasha said with a smug tone.
"Oh, why the sudden interest in poor old me?" I asked, feigning innocence.
"Heh, simple. I will take everything that belongs to this doll, and it's a waste of wonderful resources to be left alone," Sasha said, making a villainous laugh.
I raised an eyebrow. "That's quite the ambitious plan, Sasha. But are you sure you can handle me?"
"Hmph, we will see if you can still say those big words after the match," Sasha retorted, her confidence unwavering.
I chuckled. "Very well. When will the match start?"
"Oh? You agreed very easily. Is that really alright? You aren't going to get cold feet later, right?" asked Sasha, hiding her distress behind a mask of arrogance.
I laughed. "Don't worry, we won't back down now. But do try to give us a good fight if you are that worried."
"Hmph, we will see," Sasha said, then left, her resolve seemingly unshaken.
< Does Sasha really think she can defeat me? > I thought, amused by her behavior.
"With my wish, I'll help you reconcile with her," I spoke to Misha, my tone gentle.
"Is that why you agreed to her challenge?" Misha asked, her voice barely a whisper.
"Was it too meddlesome of me?" I asked, concerned that I might have overstepped.
Misha shook her head, then smiled faintly. "Thank you."
The first day had been eventful, and as we left the classroom, I was ready to mend the rift between her and Misha.
The only problem left will be to merge their sources with their alternate selves," I thought to myself.
