Bab 31: If You Don’t Want To Get Hurt, Offer Us Sweets!

“In the Magic World, there are certain things you must pay attention to whenever you are out doing field work,” the Magical Beast Professor, Professor Njal, said. “Sometimes, the most dangerous creatures are not the Dragons, Gryphons, Giant Eagles, Giant Spiders, and other ferocious creatures that make your heart beat wildly inside your chest.

“No. The most dangerous creatures are the creatures that you never thought would harm you. Today, we will talk about Faeries. Ruby, if you please?”

A beautiful fairy with red hair suddenly flew down from the tree flapping her beautiful butterfly wings.

She then hovered beside Professor Njal, and looked at the students with a smile.

“It’s that rude fairy,” Chloe muttered. “What is she doing here?”

“Maybe she’s here for some candies?” Ethan smiled.

Ruby and him had become good friends. Ethan would often visit the garden bringing candies to her, as well as her friends, which they enjoyed very much.

“Now, if you see a Fairy for the first time, you might think that they’re pretty harmless,” Professor Njal said. “However, they can be very nasty creatures even if you don’t provoke them.”

“How rude!” Ruby replied as he flew in front of the Professor’s face. “You invited me here because you said that you will give me and my friends something sweet. I didn’t know that you brought me here to badmouth fairies!”

Without warning, Ruby slapped the Professor’s nose making Professor Njal cry out in pain.

This scene made the students laugh. Even Chloe, who hated Ruby, couldn’t help but giggle after seeing this scene.

“A-As you can see, Fairies are quick to anger,” Professor Njal continued his explanation after rubbing his nose. “It doesn’t take much before they start attacking, and believe me when I say that they’re more dangerous than fighting a swarm of bees.”

“Hmph! I shouldn’t have come here.” Ruby crossed her arms over her chest. “I’ll tell the Ravens to poop on your head whenever they see you on the Academy grounds!”

Professor Njal pretended that he didn’t hear Ruby’s threats and proceeded to tell his class how to deal with Fairies.

“Although these creatures are tricksters, and easy to provoke, they are also easy to please,” Professor Njal explained as he took out a small pouch of candy from his pocket, and offered it to Ruby.

The Fairy immediately took one of the candies from the pouch and started eating happily.

“Some experts in the Magical Beast Profession say that Fairies can tell if a person is evil or not,” Professor Njal explained. “But, this myth has been debunked and isn’t true. As long as you have no ill intentions towards them, the Fairies will at most, play pranks on you. However, if you wish to harm them then they will group up and attack you with magical spells.

“Make no mistake, Faeries are also powerful magical creatures. They are known to cast strong spells up to the 6th Circle, allowing them to seriously injure Wizards, Witches, as well as other Magical Beasts that wish to hurt them.”

“He’s right, you know?” Ruby, who had just finished eating a candy, said with a smug look on her face. “If you don’t want to get hurt, offer us sweets! We like candies and chocolates, but we are fond of honey as well! Make sure to visit us in the gardens to give your offerings!”

Chloe rolled her eyes at the annoying fairy with whom she didn’t see eye to eye. She’d rather give Ruby a Fire Bolt than give her a candy that would make her happy.

“There is also something you need to know about Fairies and that is that they can increase their sizes to match the height of teenage girls,” Professor Njal stated. “Of course, they rarely do this. Since you’re already here, Ruby, why don’t you explain to us why you Fairies transform into teenage girls?”

“Eh? Isn’t it common sense to temporarily turn into a human to buy sweets at those candy stores using the money we stole from people?” Ruby blinked in confusion. “Oh! I don’t steal money from people! I just accept what they give me. It’s what you call a donation, right? Yes! People donate to us, and we use the money to buy stuff!”

“Um, I’m sure that only applies to the Fairies inside the Academy,” Professor Njal. “Wild Fairies don’t have a concept of money.”

“Eh? Those country bumpkins don’t do that?” Ruby smirked before snatching the candy pouch from the Professor’s hands. “Well, it’s their loss. The Fairies here in Brynhildr Academy live good lives. Although I haven’t ventured outside of the Academy, and the Great Eagle Forest, I’m pretty sure that any Fairy would wish to live in this place. There are just so many tasty treats! Well then, got to go! See you guys in the gardens!”

Lily waved her hand before flying away with the candy pouch following behind her. She had sprinkled fairy dust on it, allowing it to follow her wherever she went.

Since the subject of their lesson had left, Professor Njal then went to explain where Fairies were usually found in the wild, and ways to effectively communicate with them without being attacked.

Overall, the discussion was fun, and most of the students, including Ethan, found Professor Njal’s teaching quite easy to follow.

“On Wednesday, we are going to discuss another creature, who is just as notorious as the trickster Fairies,” Professor Njal announced. “Unfortunately, they are not easy to befriend, but if you happen to find them, the experience would definitely be worth it. I’m talking about the little green men that we refer to in the Magical World as Leprechauns. If you are lucky, they might even give you a pot of gold.”

Professor Njal ended his class, giving everyone something to look forward to the next time they met.

Ethan, who had no more classes that morning, headed to the Dining Area with Chloe and Nicole.

Along the way, they met one of the Pillars of the First Years, Lily Langley, who had a frown on her face. However, when she saw Ethan and Nicole, the frown disappeared and was instantly replaced by a smile.

“Nicole, Ethan, do the two of you have partners for the Practical Tests?” Lily Langley. “I know it’s still a bit early, but I’m looking for partners for the upcoming trials. How about the two of you join my team and we’ll form a Trio?”

Chloe, who had been sidelined, pursed her lips together.

She had already asked Ethan to become her partner, becoming a Duo with her. But, Chloe was worried that the pretty blonde girl would find a way to convince Ethan to join her, and break up the foundation that Ethan’s cousin, and childhood friend, had worked hard to achieve.


Bab 32: Lions Don’t Lose Sleep Over The Opinions Of Sheep

“Team up with you?” Nicole looked at Lily from head to foot then back again. “Are you sure? From what I can see, you’re strong enough on your own.”

“Hahaha! I wish that was true, Nicole.” Lily giggled. “Everyone knows that you’re the strongest of the Pillars for this school year.”

“Heh~ You’re playing the pig so you can eat the Tiger,” Nicole replied. “You’re scarier than you look. You even purposely failed the Initiation Ceremony, so that others would overlook you among the Pillars.”

Lily shook her head helplessly before shifting her gaze to Ethan and grabbing his hand.

“Nicole is talking nonsense,” Lily said. “I’m not as strong as she says I am. Although I admit that I’m not as weak as I look, she’s praising me too much. How about it Ethan? Want to team up with me? We can become the best Duo in the Acade–ack!”

Chloe pried Lily’s hands off Ethan and pulled the blue-haired boy behind her back.

“Ethan and I are already partners,” Chloe stated. “It will only be the two of us as a Duo.”

“Eh?” Lily looked at Chloe from head to foot, similar to what Nicole did to her a while ago. “Well, I did hear that the two of you are cousins. It is really a shame. I believe that Ethan and I would have been a wonderful pair, isn’t that right, Ethan?”

Lily gave Ethan a wink, which made the latter blush. This reaction made Chloe pinch his waist, making the blue-haired boy cry out in pain.

Nicole and Lily both giggled after seeing this scene, but decided to not say anything.

“How about it, Nicole?” Lily, who could no longer make Ethan a partner, shifted her attention back to the pink-haired beauty, who was labeled as the Strongest First Year. “We will definitely be the best team ever!”

“Your offer is tempting, but I have to pass,” Nicole replied. “I prefer to go Solo.”

“Hah… such a shame. All the strong and good looking people are taken,” Lily sighed exaggeratedly before walking away. However, after taking just a few steps, she turned around and winked at the three teenagers and gave her parting words.

“If the two of you change your mind, you know where to find me!” Lily said. “I don’t care how many people are in my team. The more the merrier!”

Having said what she wanted to say, Lily finally left.

“The two of you should be careful around her,” Nicole stated. “I wasn’t lying when I said that Lily is strong. She’s strong enough to go solo, but it seems that she is determined to play the damsel in distress. Take whatever she says with a grain of salt, and never, ever, trust her to guard your back. You might just find yourself getting stabbed before you know it.”

Ethan and Chloe both nodded their heads.

The blue-haired boy had plenty of experience fighting against wild animals who tried to attack their goats and sheeps. Although Lily was cute, Ethan could sense a feral side to her that was similar to a Panther that would ambush you when you least expected it.

After arriving at the Dining Area, Nicole and Chloe once again sat at the table reserved for the members of the Dud Manor.

This earned her a few stares from the Eques Manor’s Dining Area, causing the other First Years to start whispering to each other.

“Are you sure about this?” Ethan asked the pink-haired beauty in a hushed tone. “You’ll get alienated by your own Manor if you continue to act like this.”

“Oh, I’m sure of it,” Nicole replied. “Besides, I don’t need them. If they really escalate this issue, I’ll just go to the Headmaster and have him sort it out.”

“Wow,” Chloe commented. “Is this how a genius from a Noble Knight Family acts? You’re really full of yourself.”

“Lions don’t lose sleep over the opinions of sheep.”

“Uh… I feel sorry for the First Years of Eques Manor.”

Chloe no longer bothered Nicole and started to eat. It was perfectly fine for her to stay in the Dud Manor’s dining area because the entire school now knew that she and Ethan were “cousins”.

Because of this, no one found fault with her actions, and even thought that she was actually a very kind and caring person.

Taking care of a Dud was not an easy task, and some of Chloe’s Manor Members even told her that she could count on them if she and Ethan ever needed help clearing their Practical Exams, which were often called Trials or Missions.

“What do you think the first Practical Test will be?” Ethan asked. “Will it be as hard as the Initiation Ceremony?”

“I hope not,” Chloe shuddered after remembering the hardships she encountered fighting the Zombies that actively pursued those who use magic inside the Dungeon.

“We’re still First Years, so they wouldn’t let us do something too dangerous,” Nicole replied. “But, there is a chance that we will act as support to the Second Years in their Practical Exams. I heard that it is a very common occurrence here in Brynhildr Academy.”

“You’re quite knowledgeable, Nicole,” Henry, the Prefect of Dud Manor, commented. “It is as you said. Usually, First Years only do minor quests, like going to places and delivering stuff. Of course, there will also be times when you will be commissioned to help the Second Years with their own missions, giving you bonus Merit Points once it is successfully completed.”

Henry then glanced in Ethan’s direction and grinned.

“Actually, it is best that you form good connections with the other Manors,” Henry advised. “If you do, they can take you on their missions, and allow you to earn easy Merit Points by simply accompanying them.

“Of course, not everyone wants a Dud in their party unless they are there to carry stuff. I’ve had my share of those experiences as well, but the thing is, if you are able to get along well with the other Manors, many opportunities will open up for you.”

The other senior students of Dud Manor nodded their heads in agreement. Some of them even actively told Ethan whom to talk to if he ever needed the kind of help that a Manor specialized in. For example, when he needed healing, or needed some antidote to counter poisons, he could go to their friends in Terra Manor, where the best Healers in the Academy could be found.

The talk went on until lunch ended, allowing Ethan to learn many things. He was quite thankful because his Seniors were very kind, and helped him learn a thing or two about getting along with the other Manors in the Academy.

A few minutes later, the three headed to their next class which was the Spell Casting Classes.

It taught the basic theories, principles, and actual practice of Spell Casting. Although most Wizard Families taught their children a variety of spells as they grew up, the Spell Casting Classes aimed to strengthen everyone’s basic understanding of magic.

Perhaps, this was the class that Ethan was looking forward to the most. As someone who was dying to learn how to use magic, this was a lesson that he didn’t want to miss out on no matter what.
