Although she looked pitiful, he has seen enough disguises.
Louise tried to make the woman leave his feat, but she didn't bug him. It continued for two whole minutes before Lucas had enough.
"Brother, let's just listen to what she has to say. Although she seems a little suspicious, she doesn't look evil." Said Lucas.
Louise obeyed his brother. He wasn't a complete asshole to bully someone for no reason. Plus, Lucas was right—the woman didn't look evil.
If only she hadn't accused them first, he would never have laid a hand on her and listened like a patient person. It's pity this woman didn't know manners.
The woman slowly left Louise's leg and rose up. She looked at Louise with embarrassment. Then she turned her head towards Lucas; there was visible gratitude in her eyes. "What is your name?" Asked Lucas.
A woman shifted her eyes to the ground and said, "My name is Raftaliya Bailey."
"I was a normal maid at the Noble Family Asher in a nearby city. One day, suddenly, the owner of the mansion, Riko Asher, called me into his room. I obviously went in his room because he was the son of the employer."
She visibly gulped before continuing.
"He tried to force himself on me. In panic, I pushed him aside. His head was hit by the wall. There was blood dripping from his head."
"I hurriedly grabbed my savings and went away from the mansion by pretending normal before anyone found out anything."
"It's not that I didn't want to report about the incident; it's just that the Asher family is too ruthless. There was no way I could live safely after that.
"So I ran towards the capital; it would be hard for them to find me here, and their political power would not be that easy to use here."
"While running in the market, I saw you guys; you looked kind."
Louise was a little stunned. "Me...?"
The woman, Raftaliya, looked at him with some disgust for a moment before saying, "I am not blind yet; I meant your brother."
Louise scoffed but didn't refute. It's true he was not the kindest person out there, but that doesn't mean he bullied weak people.
"After coming to capital, I realized the things were too expensive. My money ran out faster than I thought. Right now, I am penniless."
"I was hungry last night, after I came here in search of food. I would have left after eating some food, but I was caught." She wanted to glare at Louise but didn't because she was afraid of him.
Lucas looked at the woman in some pity. "Brother, it seems you misunderstood her."
Louise turned her head away in disbelief. It was true that he was mistaken, but he didn't want to believe it. His sixth sense told him that this woman wasn't lying.
A woman suddenly grabbed Louise's hands and said, "Please let me work here. I used to work as a maid, but now I can cook and clean the house. I can also run arrandes, and it's easy to feed him. Please."
Hearing her words, he decided to give thought to this idea. It was not possible for Lucas to manage the shop alone. He first thought that they would only open the shop during the summer holidays. But this Omega Woman, Raftaliya's idea, wasn't bad.
The only thing concerning me was that this woman was a stranger. He didn't want to leave his brother with a stranger.
But before he could think more about it, he heard Lucas say, "Brother, please. It will be lonely without you. And she looks mature; she can take care of me at home. Plus, I can deal with an Omega myself pretty easily."
Hearing his words, Louise's heart softened. Knowing that Lucas was helping him, Raftaliya also said, while nodding like a woodpecker, "Yes! Yes! I have good experience taking care of children. I used to take care of my younger siblings."
Hearing the word sibling. Louise finally gave in. "Fine, your salary will be 10 silver crescents." But you better not play tricks with my brother." There was obvious coldness in the room when Louise ended the sentence.
Raftaliya gulped and nodded honestly. Louise naturally didn't pay attention to her anymore and went to do dishes, while Raftaliya got familiar with Lucas.
Louise could hear some faint giggles in the kitchen. There was an obvious smile on his face.
'Maybe it's not that bad,' he thought.

Raftaliya is a squirrel hybrid. She can hide her ears and tail with some illusion techniques.
But a high-level mage can see through the illusion, unless her level is higher.
She is inspired by a anime character I particularly don't like, but have to bear it because she is main character.

I randomly added it because thier were alot of collections, thanks guys
There was not much time left before the academy started, so Louise and Lucas started to familiarize themselves with the book, and alongside Louise, Lucas started to teach Raftaliya baking.
Raftaliya was a smart girl with a good cooking foundation and learned everything pretty fast. If there is a problem, Lucas can always correct it. Lucas is better at cooking and baking than Louise. It's just that he is lazy when it comes to doing so.
While Louise and Lucas were busy summarizing the books, Raftaliya started to do household chores.
While all of this was going on, Louise didn't forget to arrange the shop. It took a lot of time and effort for him to finish it in just two weeks. Though the result was quite satisfactory,.
Lucas and Raftaliya loved the way the shop worked. Lucas was excited to work as an independent shop worker for the first time, while Raftaliya was excited to make lots of cute pasteries and buns.
The first day of the opening of the shop was just two days before the official start of the academy and Lucas's school.
On the first day of the shop, it was a little deserted at first. But soon, people started to come. People were impressed by the taste, especially when two cute Omega's were serving you.
The flow of people at night was obvious. Although there were a lot of people coming and going, it wasn't that hard to manage with three people. Especially when two of them are quite experienced in the field.
They earned a total of 550 Crimson Crescents. Which is absolutely not low. Looking at the Crescents in his hand, Louise was sure they would eat and drink nicely.
One day later, after the opening, it was finally time for Louise to go to the Magic Academy. Although it didn't look like it, he was a little nervous.
They decided that Raftaliya would be working full-time while Lucas would work half-time at the shop. Because at noon, he would have to go to school.
Both Raftaliya and Lucas had no complaints about it.
Louise was already near the flying bus.
He hugged Lucas before getting in it. Lucas's eyes got teary. It was the first time his brother would leave him for this long. Louise waved and smiled at him before the Flying Bus left.
Seeing the flying bus leave, Lucas couldn't control his tears anymore. He finally sobbed. It only lasted three or so minutes because he was in public. He didn't want to embarrass himself. He wiped his face and started to walk towards his school.
Unlike Magic Academy, his school was in the middle of it. Magic Academy was very big because while Alazar Country's unlocked magic people go to study there, it couldn't be established in the middle of the city with an estremated 10 kilometers of whole. (Not too small, right?)
It is on the side of the city. Crystal City is also two times bigger than a normal city.
The flying bus stopped in front of the Magic Academy. Today was the day of admission, and a lot of students were coming through the bus.
I followed the crowd. As I got nearer the academy gates, I noticed students lining up in service lines before entering.
I also line up in the line. Everyone was wearing normal casual clothes, like me. I could feel their gazes on me, but I ignored them and patiently waited for my turn.
There were three lines according to different genders. There were fewer students in the Omega line, so my turn came quickly.
I looked at the teacher; it was a gentle-looking Omega with black and white robes and clothes.
I looked at her, and she nodded at me before saying, "Place your hands on the crystal ball and chant the divine spell."
I nodded. A divine spell is a special one that novice or magicless people usually use.
If there is any spell you are learning and it's hard, Divine Spell helps to make it a little easier.
It could also be used by those who are not too good at magic and by priests in the Holy Church. The more mana and faith you have in Goddess Aurora, the more powerful this spell will be.
It is naturally used for inspecting the magic.
I calmly placed my hand on the crystal ball and said, "In the divine name of the goddess Aurora, please lend me power, Magic Identifia."
The ball glowed a pale blue color.
Looking at the pale-blue color, the teacher nodded and registered it as the ice magic.
After that, I went inside; we were still in a line. My turn came soon. This time there was a good-looking Alpha teacher. Some Omega blushed upon seeing his face.
He smiled at me too, and I politely nodded. I showed him documents proving my first-class admission. His eyes brightened, and he nodded towards me.
He took out a standing white robe, which everyone was given. I put it on, and it transformed its shape into my size.
Seeing that I was done with my uniform, the teacher said, "You will wear a white shirt and black pants with it, which you can buy inside." I nodded. He continued, "Now wear this ring and say, Identifia!"
I wear the beautiful moonstone ring in my hand that the teacher gave me.
I looked at the moonstone ring and chanted, "In the divine name of the goddess Aurora, please lend me power, Identifia!"
The ring glowed in faint white light. Although there were not obvious changes in the ring, it does seem that his spell worked.
The teacher smiled at him, "Good, you have done it for the first time."
I politely nodded and waited for him to explain the spell and ring.
"This ring is used for your identification. If any teacher or student asks for your identity, show this ring and chant 'Identifia'. It will show your identity details."
"Remember, this ring is very important. You will have to pay a big fine if you lose it. Every year has rings made with different materials. Your seniors have a citrine ring, while your first-year students have a moonstone ring. So don't go around pretending to be a year older.
I nodded at his words. I noticed, unlike me, that most people are not given much information about their iqwupment, must I have first-class admission perks? Others might get the information later.
People were going to the student hall; I also followed others. There were several teachers and students sitting on their seats. Some students were maintaining order.
I sat and sat down on the seat, my ring pointed. I was in the second row, near the stage.
I don't like attention, but I guess I have to sit according to the order.
Finally, after 2 twenty or so minutes, an old white-haired and white-long-bearded wizard wearing light blue robes with golden stars at the end came.
Everyone started to clap. He was Elias Vision. One of the most powerful and respected people in the whole country.
When Professor Vision raised his hand, everyone stopped clapping and looked at him carefully.
I was also one of them. I naturally ignored the Alpha's around me. There was only one Omega other than me in the first-class admission seats.
There were also five Betas, but they didn't look that friendly. As for Alpha's, they were even more unfriendly-looking.
The principal started to speak with Eunthansum. "Hello, dear students and teachers. I hope new students are happy to join this academy."
"We hope your next year's will flourish. Now let's start the House dividing."
Three people came to the stage wearing different colored robes: two men and one woman. A woman probably looks like an Omega.
One of them took the lead; his clothes were red with a small light-blue hue at the end.
He smiled at us. I could not guess his gender due to a lot of people being here; the smells are too much to find the problem here.
"Hello students, You can call me Rooi. I am in charge of House Lionden." I said it excitedly.
"Hangse, in charge of Nightgale House. It's good to see you." His voice was a little cold and distant. He was wearing a golden robe with a faint brown at the end.
"I'm Rosa, in charge of Arden. It's a pleasure to meet you." Her voice was gentle but distant at the same time. She was wearing a pink robe with a faint green at the end.
After the last teacher's introduction, they said this together: "Welcome to The Magic Academy. We have gotten your magic results."
"Whoever you have to go throw one more test, everyone according to the number shown in your rings and the magic board."
Suddenly, the screen behind teachers lit up. It showed a lot of candidate names. It is estimated that a total of more than 2000 students have come this year.
Suddenly, a small but old-looking sky-blue dragon came on stage. He was very small, almost twice the size of a human. But the teacher seems to be respecting it quite a lot.
"You, little students, Hurry up and get in line. I will determine your house."
