They ate their dinner and share a good laugh. Vaughn wished that they could always spend their days like that. If only they could leave their responsibilities behind and be free as the wind.
Zenia was contemplating whether it was the right time to discuss certain things. Vaughn seemed to have recovered from his bad mood earlier. She had decided to wait until they were about to go to bed.
"Do you want to go out again tomorrow?"
"This place is quite good. I think I want to spend some time here first. Anyway, we just got out earlier because we need to find some answers."
"Are we just going to stay here in our room all day doing nothing?"
Vaughn began to tease Zenia and hoped that she would agree to his proposal earlier. It was a long shot, but he should give it a try.
Zenia did not give a reply to his question and said, "Let's clean up and go to our room. There are things I want to discuss with you."
Vaughn complied, but he was very nervous. Zenia's tone was so serious that he felt like she would tell him something that he would find outrageous. He just hoped that he was wrong.
It was the first time that Vaughn felt like not wanting to enter their bedroom. Zenia was making him so nervous.
"Sit down," Zenia told him as soon as they entered the room.
Vaughn sat down on a chair by the table and waited for Zenia's next move. She had an imposing aura of the Junior Commander.
"Brother Vaughn I will try to explain this as calmly as I can. We are now officially a married couple who promised to stay together forever. You already know that I hate liars the most, and I want you to be honest with me. Let us talk about having a family. When do you want to have our first child? Do you plan to ascend the throne first?"
Vaughn did not expect that Zenia would open such a topic of discussion. To be frank, he had not given it a thought yet and just wanted to get intimate with his wife. He felt ashamed for having lustful thoughts and did not even think of the possible consequence of his actions, like having a child.
"I really want to have our first child after I ascended the throne. I want to spend more time with you first."
"Hmm. We need to get a pregnancy test to see if I'm not pregnant after we did it for the first time. If I'm not pregnant, we can ask the doctor for the most effective contraceptive. How many children do you want?"
"I don't have a specific number in mind – fifteen, maybe?"
"Hmm, do you plan to take in some concubines?"
Vaughn looked at her and shouted, "NO!"
Zenia shouted back, "Then why do you want fifteen children? Are you telling me that you want to turn me into a mother pig? Change the number."
"If I want fifteen children, are you telling me that you will allow me to have some concubines?" Vaughn smiled naughtily.
Zenia looked at him and gave him an evil grin, "I will divorce you immediately before you can bring your concubines in my territory."
Vaughn gulped hard, "I think five children should be enough."
Zenia tapped Vaughn's cheek lightly, twice, and continued, "Good, I think I can manage that number, but we'll still see. What will you do if a concubine is offered to you, like what happened with Verone? What if she can help you strengthen your power?"
Vaughn looked at Zenia, who seemed worried about what kind of answer he would give. They both knew that political marriage was one way to strengthen the reign of the current king.
"Even if it's just for gaining a strong ally, and I won't even go to her bed-chamber, I will still flatly refuse the offer. If they insist, I will tell them that they can deal with your sword first."
"Good reasoning. But, how can you tell that I will beat them all? What if their swordmaster is better than me?"
"Then they will need to deal with my sword next. I did not say that they only need to deal with you, I said to deal with your sword first. I will not give them a chance to win."
Zenia liked the things she heard so far. It was music to her ears.
"You know that I want to travel and put up business everywhere in Maecaea, can I go anywhere I want?"
"You can go anywhere as long as you take me with you. I won't allow you to travel anywhere without me. You can go anywhere in Tissuria without me if it's something inevitable like when you get invited by noble ladies for lunch or tea party. But, you need to take some guards with you."
"Will you take me along with you when you need to visit some areas and will be gone for a long time?"
"Zenzen, you don't need to ask because I will tell you right away that I will bring you along with me. I will not let you spend some boring days in the palace waiting for my return. We will be together like we used to before we got married and when we were investigating something. Besides, you can always come up with unconventional ideas that work."
"Do I still need to attend those gatherings when we get back? I'm sure there will be more."
"You can refuse some of them but not all of them. I know that being a Crown Princess is a lot of work but please bear with it for a while. When I become the King of Tissuria, I will abolish those unnecessary traditions and formalities."
"I'm not complaining too much, and I really don't want you to change your kingdom's tradition for my own good. I will be able to adapt sooner or later."
"If there are things or persons that make you upset, don't hesitate to tell me. I will take care of it."
"You too, Brother Vaughn. If you have trouble, let me know right away even if it involves political marriage or something more troublesome. We are already one. We need to face everything as husband and wife. Let us build a strong family."
"I promise not to keep anything from you, and you must promise to do the same."
Zenia nodded, "Well, I will ask you again if there are things that pop in my mind. Are there other things that you want to clarify with me?"
Vaughn looked at Zenia for a long time and could not think of anything. He did not want her to choose between him and her maternal family if that choice was inevitable to happen. He was certain that Zenia would never fall for another man. He did not know how he was so sure, but he could not deny what his heart and mind were telling him.
"Zenzen, there is nothing I want from this world but for you to stay with me forever. We may experience some difficulties in the future, but promise me that you will never leave me."
"Okay, I promise. Is that all?" She smiled at him when she uttered her reply.
Vaughn nodded his head and smiled back at her.
"It's getting late, but my tummy is still full. Do you want to take a walk outside?"
Zenia nodded, and they held each other's hand when they walked out of the house. 
The Lead Maid was busy preparing the ingredients that she would take to Zenia the following morning. Chief Elder was expecting to get more portion than the previous one. They had huge storage that could keep the freshness of the different meats for a long time. It was another contraption of the one who designed the mechanism of the temple door.
She chose the meats that she would take out in the morning and put them near the storage door. She put the fresh vegetables and other ingredients in huge baskets, which they would carry in the morning. The Lead Maid was satisfied with the preparations that she made. They must depart earlier than usual so that the Madam would have enough time to cook the dishes. The Lead Maid was expecting to see at least two different dishes in the morning.
Somewhere in Ishelon, Zander was gently patting Odessa's back while she was vomiting. He could not say that it was morning sickness because it was already late at night. Odessa knew that she was at least a month pregnant with their first child. However, she did not say anything to Zander yet. She wanted to make sure that her diagnosis was correct. She was not an obstetrician to make an accurate estimation regarding her term.  
"Do you want me to call a doctor?" Zander asked his wife worriedly.
"I'm a doctor myself. We don't need to bother anyone for something like this. We can go there in the morning."
"Do you want me to call Mother?"
Odessa shook her head and leaned on Zander when she was certain that she would no longer throw up. Zander helped her clean up and carried her to their room. 
He put his wife on the bed and asked her once more if she was feeling any discomfort somewhere. Zander did not show any sign that he had a hunch that his wife was pregnant. To be blunt, Zander really had no idea. But, he knew that his wife was suffering, and he wanted to help her feel comfortable anyway he could.
"Zander, do you want a son or a daughter?"
Zander looked at Odessa with excitement in his eyes. Odessa nodded her head and smiled at him.


The pampered young miss and decorated military tactician of the Anisen household once asked, 
“Why do I have to be the sacrificial lamb?"

The Crown Prince of Tissuria in his younger days once declared, 
“I will marry you when we grow up.”

The trusted retainer once informed the grown Crown Prince, 
“The replacement bride was reluctant to take on the role.” 

Vaughn smirked. He knew that Zenia would likely refuse the marriage.

“Should we continue monitoring the movements of the siblings, my Lord?”

“Yes, that’s already a given. A prey like that is not easy to capture and keep.”

The Crown Prince promised, 
“We will meet again soon Zenia. It’s time to put you to your rightful place.”

Join Zenia and Vaughn in their crazy and funny adventures as they uncover 
the truth and witness how they nurture their love to stand the test of time.

"Hey, stupid brotheeer!"

It was the morning of our day off.

The one who came here to the boys' dorms was the animal, I mean my sister, who pridefully carried her slave around.

While yawning in my room, I checked the time, noticed that it was still seven in the morning, and lied back down onto bed.

"Don't doze off! What in the world are you doing! What are you doing!"

I didn't know the reason for her uproar, but I wanted to enjoy myself and fall back asleep.

"How improper of you, sister. Yesterday's lessons involved the boys training their martial arts. I'm tired, so let me sleep."

The girls got to have fun playing sports, while the boys had to get caked in mud while doing long training runs and martial arts practices. Since this was a world where it wasn't odd for one to lose their life fighting monsters or participating in a war, training was very strict.

"This isn't the time to be sleeping! Stupid brother, give me a detailed account of the first year class. Right now!"

My older sister, the second daughter, forcibly woke me up, leaving me wondering what she was in a hurry for.

Lifted up by a cat-eared slave in the morning, I sat down on a chair while rubbing my sleepy eyes and yawning.

"Information about the first year? Wouldn't you know more about that than me?"

"I heard some strange rumors, so I came here to check. You're more or less a student in the advanced class."

How impolite of her to say "more or less."

"Information? Aah, come to think of it, the class' Madonnas, Milly and Jessica, have chosen whom to marry. It's kind of a disappointment since they were really good people, but there's no helping it."

"I don't care about pointless stories like that."

Pointless? For us boys, it's a story that would put us to tears.

"Do you know about a girl named Marie?"

While I was reacting with a twitch, my older sister continued to talk and order me around.

The passionate kissing scene in the library came to my mind.

"…She's in his Highness Julian's group, and is intimate with him."

"Only with his Highness the crown prince?"

"…She's intimate with other prestigious nobles as well. Good for her, right?"

Even if flirting around is disapproved of in the academy, people still hear rumors about it. The rumors surrounding Marie have especially risen.

"There's also a young girl from a duke household, right? Do you have detailed information on her?"

"You think I know? I only heard rumors like how his Highness the crown prince got mad at her."

My sister pondered, and then made a stern face.

Now it was my turn.

"So, do you have a detailed account of her? It seems there are rumors spreading around about how that duke daughter ordered people to bully Marie."

"Huh? Are you an idiot?"

My sister got angry and called me an idiot. I'd prefer if you showed some more self-control after having stormed into the boys' dorms in the morning. Well, considering that you have that lover with you, you probably don't have a sliver of self-control left.

"With a social status that high, even if she's not ordering people around, those around her are selfishly moving. In the first place, if she was really serious about crushing a woman she's against, then that woman wouldn't be alive. The scale of a duke household is no joke. This is why men are useless."

While feeling peeved, I asked a question to my sister, who had been looking down on me.

"So that duke woman is unrelated?"

"They're separate matters. Since girls that were in her group did it, she still has to take responsibility, though."

"Isn't that unreasonable?"

"That's the way the cookie crumbles."

It seems that the world of an otome game is also difficult for girls. No wait, perhaps it just for the villainess? In the game, did the villainess…not order for this happen? It's been ten years since I regained my memories, so my recollection is faint.

My sister looked at my face and made a serious expression.

"The second year and third year are also panicking. Above all, we don't want any more strange trouble around his Highness the crown prince. We have things we need to do as well. You need to seriously gather a little more information. Then, report it to me afterwards."

Who in the world does this woman think I am? I'm not your pawn. Well, I will investigate since I'm curious about it, though.

"You understand what this means, don't you?"

"Those girls are bothersome."

"Idiot, you utter idiot! Stupid brother!"

My sister, who had been noisy in the morning, grabbed me by the ear and said something as if ordering me around.

"His Highness the crown prince will inherit the throne as long as nothing happens! You understand that the people he's pleased with will be set for life, right? On the other hand, those that he's displeased with will be done for!"

This talk has nothing to do with a baron from afar.

On second thought, it has a lot to do with my sister, who wants to to live in the city. If she gets married to someone bad, and that person garners Julian's antipathy, then there's no hope for success in her future career.

"Being able to marry and safely graduate is enough for me, so I'm not interested in this matter."

"Are you really a man?!"

In actuality, I just don't want to get involved with Julian and his surroundings. I was thinking that maybe there were benefits to getting close with him, but…getting close with him also meant getting dragged into what's to come.

That's a no-no.

──After all, a huge storm will befall upon the kingdom in the future.

That is if things go according to the game's story, though.

"Anyways, you say that it doesn't concern you, right? Well, there's no benefits nor drawbacks about this matter for me either."

It seemed that my sister was just wary of me getting involved and causing trouble upon the family.

"They wouldn't take any notice of a baron from afar."

However, the fact of the matter is that there really is something that has caught my attention.

I'm wondering what that Marie girl might do in the future.

My sister gave me a warning.

"There's a grade party at the end of the school term. Don't do anything stupid and make me lose face. I need to pick a man I want."

My busy sister headed out of the room.

"Ah, one last thing, did you even find a marriage partner?"

The look of my grinning sister had irritated me.

My sister wanted to marry and had been searching for a boy nonstop. I'm envious that she at least has a choice.

"Don't cause trouble if you find one."

"I thought you'd say that. Don't think that you have charm just because you stand out a bit. Why don't you polish your skills as a man?"

I laughed scornfully.

"How do you feel having bought a slave using the money from a man that has no charm? I'm all ears, my dear sister."

Thereupon, my sister yelled "Go to hell, stupid brother!" and left the room.

Now that I was alone, I got up from my chair and stretched.

Luxon, who pretended to be an ornament in the room, rose up.

[It's been quite lively for the morning.]

"So the first term is going to end…I wonder if it's fine to just think about the party and the usual nobles?"

This is the world of an otome game.

The event for the first-years in the academy was modeled after those from the schools in Japan.

Well, it was game marketed towards Japanese people, so it was inevitable that it would be like that, though…

"A school term…I entered a dungeon with my friends and ended up holding tea ceremonies by the end of it all."

[Even if there were zero results, the time spent was still valuable, right master? After all, my master is basically a lazy person. You moving around is by itself a great achievement.]

"Do you bear a grudge against me?"

[I dislike new humans, so that means I dislike you, master.]

"So you're a sad AI that pushes me around. Be ready to keep pushing me around for as long as I live."

[Sounds fun. All things considered, life at the academy seems truly hectic.]

In addition to attending the daily lessons, I also enter the dungeon for extra cash.

I've used that cash to fund tea ceremonies and invite girls, but it ends up failing repeatedly.

Things really have passed in the blink of an eye.

"…Say, can you gather information?"

Despite having a bad mouth, Luxon is basically faithful.

[Is this about the duke woman or that Marie girl? I possibly can, but even if I investigate information like their three sizes, I won't tell you.]

"…Please tell me."

[I refuse on the basis that it's not necessary.]

"Is that so? In that case, can you investigate whether or not what my sister said was true?"

[You want definite proof about the rumors? Does it concern you, master? You said you weren't going to get involved, but are going to change that policy?]

"I'm just curious."

[So it's just a spurt of curiosity? How hopeless you are. Well then, I'll go check the rumors.]

While saying that, Luxon's surface projected the surrounding landscape, making it vanish like it had blended in, and left the room to gather information.

This thing can do anything.

Misty's Notes:
I am so sorry that I have not updated for almost 2 months! Since things happened, such as I got betrayed.... but it's fine! Now I am back for more updates for you guys who have not abandoned this book and author here!

"Since you passed, you are all members of the Rat-Class officially. Your days will be tough, so prepare yourselves. For the next ten days, I'll teach you the basics that you'll need to survive in the darkness. First of all, you shall all sign a cursed contract..." Matias explained to the students the same things he said to John. Although the youths knew now about the true nature of the class, they still listened carefully. They didn't know what the future had in store for them. 

"What did you give to Alexandra as an exchange for the information about Rat-Class?" John asked quietly Henry, who was absorbed in the lesson. 

"What can I give her? I am just a commoner. I only promised to do her a favor when she askes me to.   However, some wealthy students, like Reece, gave her a lot of money. I don't understand why you didn't take advantage of the situation too." the boy was surprised when John addressed his question to him but still replied calmly. 

"It's not that I didn't want to do it..." he muttered with a wry smile. He was afraid to meddle too much in things that didn't concern him. Alexandra might appear as wise and kindhearted thanks to her decision to reveal everything to them for a price, but John didn't regret his choice not to do anything to help them. First of all, he didn't want to take unnecessary risks because of his greed. Matias might have approved the girl's actions, but what if he considered them as cheating instead? Her actions could expel not only her but everyone she selfishly involved. She probably knew it herself but still proceeded with her plans anyway. As a noble, her stay in the academy wasn't a matter of life or death, after all. 

Matias continued talking for two hours before he declared the end of the class. John slowly stood up and headed towards the dorms. He couldn't wait to bed down, but the group of students that stopped him in the middle of the road didn't empathize with his desires.  

"It seems that we have to talk..." a young man who seemed to be the leader said with a mocking smile as he glared at him. John didn't understand what these guys who were a few years older wanted from him. 

"Do I know you?" he asked with some doubt. He had provoked many people in the past but not these in front of him.   

"It seems that because other first years don't know how to use magic, you can do whatever you want. I'll teach you today that if you want to survive here, you have to stay low-key." the youth said arrogantly and gestured at the three people who followed him to attack. 

'What the hell! I didn't do anything! I only threatened these guys in the morning a little since they planned to bully me. Don't tell me that I have not the right to at least protect myself.' 

Unfortunately, his opponents didn't care about his thoughts as they approached him with malicious intentions. John understood that unlike the people from the morning, they were upperclassmen who knew how to fight and use magic. The youth knew he was in a disadvantageous situation. He wasn't a fighter who could confront others openly without prior preparations. Most importantly, his techniques were all used for killing. He couldn't just murder them inside the Academy just because they wanted to intimidate him. That was why he immediately made his decision.   

"Do you know how my brother called me some times, back in the Moon Village?" 

They didn't seem to care as they were ready to throw him to the ground. Alas, their hands passed through his body like he was a ghost. They could only watch dumbfounded his figure starting to disappear. The moment they thought they had gone mad, they heard a distant voice through the darkness. 

"He calls me, sneaky bastard." 

The four of them stared at their surroundings, alarmed. They waited and waited, but their opponent didn't seem to want to make a move against them. Someone from the group couldn't endure it anymore and whispered with some hesitation. 

"Boss, he might have already escaped..."

"Shut up!" the leader shouted with anger as he glared at the darkness. 

"Next time, you won't be so lucky, bastard!" his voice sounded in the air. 

*****

"That was scary..." John muttered as he entered the dorms. His decision to leave the auditorium quickly alone unexpectedly backfired. Fortunately, these idiots attacked him without having any information on him. 

'I don't want to deal with them.  It's troublesome and not worthy of my time. Normally, I would ask Vladimir for cases like these, but the fact they are third years complicates things...' he thought as he arrived at his room. If his brother defeated students that were close to graduation, he would attract too much attention. John could also avoid them continuously, but he wasn't willing to give them the satisfaction that they made him behave like a coward. 

'Since you managed to annoy me, I'll do the same for you! Didn't you come to bully me because I bothered these weaklings in the morning? That means that you are related to them in some way. From tomorrow, I'll make their life in the Academy intolerable, hahaha...' 

He approached the desk and opened a notebook that was on it. Inside there were incomprehensible letters that someone from this word would find it impossible to understand them. He took a quill and started to write. 

'Since I have some time before Henry returns to the room, I'll imprint some of my thoughts on the paper. Writing in the language from my memories is convenient since it will prevent anyone from understanding the content of this notebook. First of all, the princess Adriana came to see me. It was faster than I expected, meaning she probably discovered something and needs my help. I would usually be happy about this, but I wanted to deal with the things I planned to do first. I have to go to the outer area and meet with Irene as soon as I can. I don't have a choice but expedite the creation of an organization that works in the shadows. I gave her almost all of my money for this task, but I doubt it'll be enough. So my goal for this week is to find the necessary funds. Alexandra gave me some money, but they are sou compared to what I need. I don't have a choice. I didn't want to do it, but I 'll have to use some of the knowledge from my memories. Of course, I'll use Irene as a proxy. Now, another thing that caught my interest is about...'

He was about to continue, but the sound of steps warned him that his roommate was approaching. He quickly closed the notebook and left it on the desk. Even if Henry opened it from curiosity, he wouldn't find anything, after all. 

"You are already here?" Henry asked as he entered. 

"Since I left immediately after the end of the class."

"The others were criticizing you for being heartless."

"Of course they do..." John replied as he shook his head. He doubted they would do something differently from him if they were in his place. 

"William tried to defend you, though." 

'As expected from the leader of our class. William is the best!' 

"However, Alisha wants to beat your ass." 

'That bitch. She only disagrees with William's words when it comes to me.' 

"What about you, Henry?"

The muscular boy that looked older than his real age smiled and spoke. 

"Chit-chat is useless against real power. As long as they are weaker than you, the only thing they can do is to complain. They know it too deep inside. That's why they are frustrated." He said and stopped to take a deep breath before he continued. 

"As for me... If I didn't see what happened in the morning with these first years, I might have been the same as them."  

"But?" John asked while also wearing a smile as he looked at him. 

"But since I want my life, I prefer not to create an enemy I can't defeat." 

'That guy keeps surprising all the time. He may become a reliable friend, after all.'

"Well, Henry. Are you interested in becoming an adventurer?" 

"..."

John was always considered a lazy guy. He would often lie down in the green meadow, watching the clouds without having any interest in the world around him. One day, his brother said that he wanted to become a hero and slay the Demon Lord, asking him to come along with him on his journey. Unexpectedly, John decided to accompany his brother for his own reasons...



Author: This is the first time I write a novel and until now I find it very fun. English is not my natural language, so any reminder for grammatical errors is welcomed. I am not sure about the consistency of my updates, but I'll try to organize my time in a way that I can upload steadily at least 3-4 chapters every week

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach and I don't own Code Geass.
A/N: I just couldn't help myself and this idea just came to me. So here is the first chapter of this crossover fanfic.
Prologue
It was a nice day in the Soul Society and within the walls of the capital known as the Seireitei; a Shinigami of the Gotei 13 was walking and heading to one of the Division's barracks. It was a woman with pink long hair with two braided strands that hung from each of her sides and had violet eyes. She was wearing a typical Shihakusho and wrapped around her left arm is a badge and it was the division badge for the 10th Division. She was passing by other Shinigami and they looked and greeted her.
"Good morning Lieutenant," One of the Shinigami greeted.
The woman gave a warm smiled, "Good morning."
"Morning Lieutenant," Another Shinigami greeted.
"Morning."
"Good morning Lieutenant," Two female Shinigami greeted.
"Morning," The woman said with a smile.
The pink haired lieutenant walked by and was greeted by four male Shinigami who saw her and blushed with a smile.
"Good morning Lieutenant," The four Shinigami greeted simultaneously, "you're looking as lovely as ever."
The lieutenant giggled, "Thank you. Keep up the good work."
"Yes ma'am," The four Shinigami said happily.
The pink haired lieutenant moved on and then saw another Shinigami. It was a young man with red short hair and blue eyes and also wore a division badge around his left arm and it was of the 11th Division.
"Good morning Naoto," The pink haired lieutenant greeted.
"Oh, morning Euphie," Naoto greeted back.
They walk together for a bit.
"So today's the day," Naoto said.
"Yes, the ceremony for the new Captain of 12th Division," Euphie pondered, "say Naoto, did you heard anything about the previous captain, Hikifune?"
"No, but it's not like my worthless Captain would know himself since he doesn't really care about what's going on with the Gotei 13. You?"
"I haven't really had the chance to ask him."
"Hmm, I see."
Naoto and Euphie get ready to go their separate ways.
"Well, I'm going to go get my Captain," Euphie said, "We'll see you there Naoto."
"Yeah, see you Euphie," Naoto replied.
"Good luck dealing with your captain."
Naoto sighed, "I'll try…but…oh well, see you at the First Division Barracks."
Naoto and Euphie went their separate ways. Soon, Euphie walked through barracks of her division and got to the door that was her captain's room. Euphie clears her throat and knocks on the door.
"Lelouch, it's me," Euphie called.
"Oh Euphie, come in," Lelouch replied.
"Yes," Euphie said as she slid the door open and let herself in and slid the door close.
Euphie saw Lelouch sitting on the floor with his arm on an arm rest reading a book. Lelouch was wearing his Shihakusho and wore his 10th Division captain haori over it.
"Lelouch, are you ready?" Euphie asked, "It's time we went for the Captain Ceremony."
Lelouch sighed as he closed his book and put it down, "So it's already time."
"Aren't you excited Lelouch?" Euphie said with glee, "I know I am."
Lelouch chuckled, "You really enjoy these ceremonies, do you?"
"I'm just curious, do you know who the new 12th Division Captain is?"
"No but it will be interesting to see. After all, these things are meant as a surprise," Lelouch said with a smile.
Euphie chuckled, "That's typical of you, my dear brother."
"Let's go, my lieutenant."
"Yes, my captain."
Lelouch slides open the door and he and Euphie see a young woman with long orange hair and yellowish green eyes and wore a typical Shihakusho and it was their third seated officer.
"Oh, Lulu and Euphie, good morning," The orange haired woman greeted.
"Good morning Shirley," Lelouch greeted.
"Morning Shirley."
"I thought you two would be on your way to the ceremony," Shirley said.
"We're on our way now," Euphie said.
"Right…"
Lelouch put his hand on Shirley's shoulder, "Well see you later, and keep things in order while we're gone."
"You can count on me Lulu," Shirley said while blushing.
Lelouch nodded and left for the First Division barrack with Euphie following behind him. Shirley watched as her captain and lieutenant walked away and went to the other direction within the barrack. What neither of the three knew was that they were being watched by another Shinigami. The Shinigami in question was wearing a cloak with a hood over his head and on the top of his right hand was a geass symbol and the Shinigami had a grin.
"This has been very interesting," The cloak wearing Shinigami said and then chuckled.
Meanwhile, Lelouch and Euphie continued to walk to their destination.
"It's amazing, isn't it Lelouch?" Euphie said.
"Hmm?"
"Well, it's been forty years."
Lelouch knew what his sister was referring to, "Yes, it has."
"Even after so long, I'm still surprised through all this, I'm sure it's the same way for you and Shirley."
Lelouch smiled, "Yeah."
"I wonder how things went in our home world after we died. I wonder what became of Britannia, about your families and friends."
Lelouch had his thought and thought about the people he cared about and left behind, "Nunnally…CC…Milly…Rivalz…I hope they're able to still live on…Nunnally, I hope you're still live on…"
Flashback: 40 years ago in the Black Knight's Flagship, Ikaruga
Lelouch, in his persona as Zero with Kallen standing in front of him as light flashed on them and there were Knightmares and core members of the Black Knights pointing their guns on Lelouch.
"It's over Zero!" Todoh said.
"How dare you play a con game with us!" Chiba added.
Other members of the Black Knights were cursing him out calling him a fraud and a despicable con man and Lelouch noticed Diethard with a camcorder pointing on Lelouch. Lelouch also noticed his older half brother Schneizel observing and it was all the explanation that Lelouch needed and was frustrated and he has given up and lost the remaining hope he had.
Flashback End
"Even after I was killed and to hear about Nunnally and to hear the truth about my mother…"
"Lelouch," Euphie called out.
Lelouch got out of his train of thought and looked at his sister, "Euphie…"
"Thinking about the past…of the things that happened?"
Lelouch looked away on the ground and nodded, "Yeah…"
Euphie had a downcast look and was concerned for her brother, "Lelouch…"
"C'mon Euphie, let's hurry."
"Oh…right."
Lelouch and Euphie hurried themselves to get to the First Division barracks and they set themselves to make sure they were not late.
That's it for the first chapter. Next chapter: Going back to how it started, starting with the Black Knights turning on their leader in the Ikaruga.

Running his fingers through her hair, Bojing asked, "Did you sleep well?"
Suyan who was still shocked, could only nod her head. Staring at him with a bewildered expression, Suyan wondered if he woke up in the wrong of the bed today. How did he suddenly start acting so sweet early in the morning? This sweet and cute behaviour of Bojing was very unusual. In fact, this was the first time he had wished her morning in such a sweet manner. To top everything up, he also gave her a morning kiss. 
Suyan's heart was ramming against her chest wildly. Her ears started turning red and her throat felt dry. 
When Bojing saw her blank expression, he frowned and asked, "What happened? Did you not sleep well? Did I disturb your sleep? Do you want to sleep more?" When Bojing woke up early in the morning, Suyan was peacefully sleeping in his arms. Not having the heart to wake her up, Bojing decided to stay with her in the bed a little longer.
When Suyan woke up, Bojing quickly did what Yichan and the other boys had suggested. They had instructed him to give his wife a morning kiss as soon as she woke up. 
Bojing wasn't used to being so sweet and intimate but he was willing to learn for his wife. He was also determined to make things right between them and treat Suyan much better. 
But little did Bojing know that the sweet and adorable things that he was doing was making Suyan go crazy. She wasn't used to seeing him like that. Bojing had always maintained his distance. Like every married couple, they also shared an intimate married life but Suyan always felt that something was missing between them.
Suyan came out of her daze when Bojing placed his hand in her shoulder. 
"What happened?" Bojing asked.
Sayan vigorously shook her head and placed her hand on his forehead. 
Finding her actions strange, Bojing asked, "What happened?" 
"A-Are you alright?" Suyan asked.
Bojing nodded his head and answered, "Yeah I am alright. Are you alright?"
Pulling her hand away, Suyan nodded her head. "Yeah, I am alright."
"Hmm, why don't you freshen up first and then let's go down for breakfast." 
Suyan nodded his head and quickly got down from the bed. She desperately needed to take a warm shower to process everything that had happened early in the morning inside her head.
….
Inside Ning's and Yichan's room.
After giving Ning several pecks all over her face, Yichan pouted his lips and asked, "How long?"
Running her fingers through his face, Ning said, "Six days more or maybe seven and I said no kisses yesterday."
Yichan sighed and helplessly shook his head. "I have to wait for so long but I know it will be worth the wait. And this is just a morning kiss, this is an exception. How can I start a morning without giving you a morning kiss?"
"Did you all talk to brother Bojing?" Ning asked.
Yichan vigorously nodded his head and answered, "Yes babe, we did. We have tried our best and now it's up to brother Bojing. But I think he will be okay because he is a fast learner."
"Hmm, I hope everything runs smoothly for them." 
Kissing her forehead, Yichan snuggled closer. "Okay now don't think about them, think about me and us."
Wiggling out of his embrace, Ning got from the bed and chuckled, "Cuddles later Mr Mo, we have to go down and meet everyone for breakfast."
Without waiting for his reply, Ning rushed towards the washroom.
Yichan sighed and helplessly shook his head. No proper kisses and no cuddles, how would he survive for so many days?
Yichan's lips curled upwards when he thought of something mischievous. He was about to follow his wife when Ning's phone, which was kept on the bedside table beeped.
"Babe you got a message." Yichan shouted.
"Check it for me please and remind me to reply later if it's work related." Ning instructed him.
Picking up her phone, Yichan checked the number and said, "Babe it's from an unknown number."
"What kind of message is that?" Ning asked.
Opening the message, Yichan raised his eyebrows when he read the content. 
'I am coming back and I'll see you soon.' 
Just then Ning stepped out of the washroom and asked, "What is it?"
Passing her the phone, Yichan said, "May be from your friend."
Ning frowned after reading the text. "This is my personal number so no one other than the people who are close to me have this number." 
"Hmm, maybe it's spam." 
Passing Yichan her phone, Ning asked, "Can you find out whose number this is for me?"
"Ya sure, why not? Just message me that number and I'll ask my men to take care of it. But are you sure it isn't someone from your friends circle?" Yichan asked.
"I don't have any friends apart from Nuying and Mei so this feels a bit strange." Ning explained.
Running his fingers through her hair, Yichan smiled. "Hey, don't stress over this okay? I'll take care of it and later let you know."
...
Downstairs.
Sitting in two extreme ends of the table, Nuying and Muchan were glaring at each other. Both of them were the first one's to arrive and also had a little argument over what had happened yesterday night. 
Things started when Muchan started teasing Nuying and things got worse when Nuying scratched Muchan's arms with her sharp nails and now Nuying was super mad and Muchan was injured.
"Do you have any idea how dangerous this scratch can be? I can even die." Muchan hissed.
Nuying mocking chuckled and snapped, "Die? You? Mean people do not die so early so don't worry, you will live for more than a hundred year."
Muchan gritted his teeth and shouted, "You-"
Cutting him off, Nuying yelled, "Next time if you tease me like that, I'll scratch your face."
"'Next time if you try to scratch me, I'll cut off all your stupid nails." Muchan snapped.
Nuying narrowed her eyes and hissed, "You dare."
"Uh Huh, I dare. They don't do anything good anyway, I still have the scratch marks all over my back and-"
Covering her ears, Nuying closed her eyes and yelled, "I cannot hear anything lalalalalalalala."

“The course of true love never did run smooth.” – William Shakespeare.

The journey of love is never as smooth as silk. There are difficulties, ups and downs, bumps and humps. 

Like most of the love stories, Mo Yichan and Yang Ning’s love story wasn’t smooth or easy. Initially it was difficult and rocky. 

The CEO of Yang corporation, Yang Ning was a successful businesswoman. Growing up with unsupportive and unruly parents, Yang Ning was accustomed to being treated unfairly and poorly. The only person that she count on was her grandfather.

The CEO of Mo corporation, Mo Yichan who was also known as the ‘ Devil CEO’ was one of the most successful businessmen. Losing his father at a very young age and his mother leaving him alone for some other man, Yichan grew up with his grandfather. 

Being business rivals, Mo Yichan and Yang Ning hated each other. 

What do you think will happen when these two cold and aloof people are forced to get married and live under the same roof by their grandparents? 

Did they hate each other only because they were business rivals? Or did something happen in the past which forced them to seal their hearts and hate each other to the fullest? 

Will the love between them ever be able to overpower the hatred that they have for each other? 

*****

“ Hahahahaha look at you both fighting like a husband and wife.” Mr Hunshou said.

Yichan smirked and said,” If you were my wife, I would add poison in your coffee.”

Ning smiled and said,” And if you were my husband, I would drink it.”

****

Few months later.

In a charity auction.

“ Hundred million.” Ning said.

“ Two hundred million.” Yichan said before grinning at his wife.

“ Three hundred million.” Ning said.

“ Four hundred million.” Yichan said.

“ Five hundred million.” Ning before leaning towards her husband,” If you let me win, I’ll be on top for a whole week.”

Yichan raised his board and said,” Seven million.” 

“ You-“

“ For two weeks.” Yichan said.

Ning frowned and said,” Fine.” Before raising her board,” Seven hundred and one million.”

[P.S:The cover isn’t mine. :)]

I had planned on sleeping in for the first time in 7 months today, but I naturally woke up at 5 in the morning.
"Damn it why do I have to be productive right now?"
I had wanted to sleep in for 2 reasons. 1: I finally don't have to wake up early for the first time in 7 months, and 2: It is my birthday. Today I turn 18 years old. Normally on a person's 18th birthday they have a big celebration, but for me it's being evicted from a house and fending on my own. After letting out a sigh, I stepped out of bed and onto the hardwood floor as the chill of a spring morning assaulted me.
I partook in my ceremony of morning preparation and once I was done I stepped out into the hall.
"Good morning."
"G-Good morning, Ania-sama!"
I nearly peed my pants. Ania-sama is standing right outside of my doorway.
"Once you finish your business, come sit with me at the dining table. I have something for you."
"O-okay, Ania-sama."
With that, she turned around and went towards the dining room. I personally went to the restroom and took care of my morning business.
"Goodbye, Slime-san. A part of me hopes we'll never meet again!"
With that heartfelt goodbye, I went towards the dining room.
Inside of the dining room, Ania-sama is sitting in her usual seat and she has a package in front of her resting on the table. Her expression is melancholic.
"Sit with me, please."
This is the first time Ania-sama has ever used the word "please" when talking to me. This took me by such surprise that I immediately went to my chair and sat obediently.
"Kenji, what is your full name?"
This is also the first time that Ania-sama has addressed me by my actual name. Wait, did she just ask me what my full name is?
"I'm afraid I don't follow, Ania-sama."
"What is your full name, including your family name?"
She knows about family names. Come to think of it, I don't know much about Ania-sama at all. I've always just seen her as the crazy old woman that I live with. Just who is this woman?
"M-my name is Kenji Fujima, Ania-sama."
"Hmm… Fujima… so you must have come from Japan then."
I felt a lurch in my stomach. Japan? She knows about Japan? If she knows about Japan then what does that mean? Is her late husband from Japan or is that a city in this world that I don't know of? Maybe it's a resort she went to a while ago or maybe it's a false name for a location that was invented to throw people off of trails? Am I now a criminal?
"I also came from Japan, though I came around 60 years ago."
"What...?"
"The world you lived in must have been very different from the world I lived in. The people of my time were rapidly changing thanks to the recovery from the war. I still remember how it used to be…"
"You're… from Japan…?"
"Yes. 60 years ago I died, like you probably did. I was offered a choice by the creator to either be reincarnated on Earth or to come here and 'save the world' as I was told."
"But… you've been here for 60 years..."
"Yes, the adventuring life was never for me. I tried it but could never succeed. In time I met my late husband and began to live a normal life here. When he passed away I decided to use the money and home he left me to take care of people such as yourself."
"B-but… if you've been here for 60 years, then that means that…"
"Many people such as yourself have come to this world and have tried to defeat the demon king but have failed. Most people gave up after seeing how difficult it was, some died."
I have to recollect myself. This is too crazy. Ania...sama came from Japan? This demon king has existed for at least 60 years and hasn't been stopped yet? What hope do I have? Oh god what am I supposed to do?
"I understand what you're thinking, Kenji. You think all hope is lost, do you not?"
"I… I don't know what I'm thinking. If nobody before me has been able to beat him for 60 years then why should I fare any differently?"
"I don't know, Kenji. The fact of the matter is, you're a person just like any other. I can't say you will do better or worse than anyone."
"..."
The atmosphere in this room is morose. If I never had a chance to begin with, then why did Ania lead me on for this long? Did this woman just want to toy with me?
"I know after all I've said it may seem hopeless, but I want you to understand something."
"What is it?"
"Everyone is different."
"...What do you mean, exactly? Am I the chosen one or something? Do I get super powers?"
"No no no, I mean that everyone has their own potential and they need to find their limits. Nobody is born the savior, nor is anyone born as the devastator. We are all capable of finding what we're able to do."
"So I just… need to test myself?"
"Exactly."
"..."
That's all well and good and all, but really it's just a pep talk.
After 60 years, nobody has been able to so much as drastically harm the demon king? Just how overpowered is this guy? If he's so strong then why doesn't God give us powers? Is this just some cruel game or something? I should punch that geezer in the face the next time I see him.
"The perfect example of what I mean is in this package. Take it, Kenji."
Ania handed me a small rectangular package. The package is rather light and I can maneuver it easily in my hands.
Ania motioned for me to open the package. I pulled open the top and saw a dagger in its sheath sitting within the package.
"A… Dagger?"
"Draw it, please."
Following Ania's instructions, I drew the dagger from its sheath.
It's incredibly lightweight. The blade is a deep blue and the sharpness of the edges is unreal. I'm in no way an expert on forged items, but even my ameteur eyes can tell that this dagger is a mastercraft.
"This is an Adamantite dagger, Kenji. Like you, it does not appear as anything special just yet, but it has the potential to cut through even steel! It all depends on you to see how far it can go."
"...Thank you very much, Ania-sama."
Instead of saying anything, Ania gave a gentle smile. This is the first time I have ever seen her give such an earnest expression.
"Go gather your things. I'll wait for you."
"Alright."
I went back to my room to grab my things. The truth is, I had very little in this world and now that I am seeing it all, I can tell that this truly is the next step of my life. It feels like I am heading to college.
After a little bit of time, I finished gathering my things and went to the front door where Ania was waiting for me with a faint smile.
"Smile with me, I'm going to take a picture."
"Huh? Oh… alright. I've never really been a big fan of pictures but-"
"Shut up and smile boy!"
"Yes ma'am!"
And so, Ania pulled out a small wooden box and a flash emitted from it. A second later, a picture complete with a frame appeared on the wall in the living room.
"I hate to get all sappy, but I do this with all of the people I bring in. In a way, I see all of you as my kids...  Kenji, if it ever gets too hard for you, or you just need a place to stay for the night, it's alright if you come back. Alright?"
I feel like I'm leaving home.. Wait, this is my home…
"Alright, Ania-sama. I promise I will. Thank you, for everything."
"You're damn right!"
With that, I stepped out of the building I have been living in for 7 months and out into the world. My next step of life starts now.

"There's a reason why anything is happening. We just need to find that reason."

After preparing breakfast, it is 06:55. Today is 5th April, Wednesday. No special event for school, but for Chihiro, today is very special. Today she wakes up full vigor, she is not alone anymore.

[Rylie, Thank you!]
[For what Chihiro?]
[For being so nice to me!]
Chihiro smile brightly and hugs Rylie

[Geez, Chihiro is so clingy today]
Rylie and Chihiro moves the breakfast to the dining table. Chihiro is surprise to see bento on the table.

[Rylie, why is there a bento on the table?]
[I woke up at 05:00 with Ryan and I prep it with Ryan's breakfast]
[So, Rylie also wakes up early every day?]
[Yeah, after making those I went back to sleep on Ryan's bed though]
[Oh, I see…]

Chihiro figure it out Rylie's morning activities, Rylie will make Ryan's breakfast first because he wakes up earlier, then make bento before going back to take a little nap.

[Rylie is so nice to Kobayashi-sama]
Chihiro can really feel Rylie's care toward Ryan, she is quite envious toward it.

[Am I not nice to Chihiro?]
Rylie ask teasing Chihiro

[Very nice!]
Chihiro cling onto Rylie with a bright smile

[Let's eat!]
[Rylie, Kobayashi-sama hasn't feed me yet]
Chihiro look slightly troubled

[There is no need, I read your text messages, it appears he feed you a lot yesterday]
[Yes, 5 times!]
[That will do, don't need to worry about the morning dosage. Let's eat!]
Chihiro and Rylie starts to eat their breakfast, and talks about various topic

[Chihiro, how do you feel staying over?]
[It is fun!]
[Do you feel awkward sleeping with Ryan?]
[Hmmm… not at all, I feel closer with Kobayashi-sama now and more comfortable!]
[Tell me more about the text you send me]
[Yesterday, after Rylie leave…]
Chihiro begins to recall all the things happens yesterday

[Hahahaha… I wanted Chihiro to show herself pee to Ryan first before taking bath together so you will feel less awkward, but you skipped a step!]
Rylie laugh out loud, she feels interesting at the event happens between Ryan and Chihiro

[Eh? But Rylie didn't tell me]
Chihiro sulk a little

[It's all good, it went better than I expected]
[How so Rylie?]
[Ryan shows his true nature to Chihiro, this is better than my expectation]
[Kobayashi-sama's true nature?]
Chihiro slightly puzzles, she doesn't understand what Rylie meant
[Ryan is just as perverted as Chihiro! He hides it deep inside and I feel pity for him, so I wanted him to expose himself to Chihiro more]
[Eh? Kobayashi-sama is also nymphomaniac?]
[Yes, but his and yours are different]
[How so?]
Chihiro become interested, she wants to know more

[As you said earlier, Ryan became more aggressive and violent, it is in his nature, he is a pure S. While Chihiro is more of M]
[Eh? What is S? what is M?]
[S is Sadist, they feel more pleasure from giving aggressive respond to the person they like, while M is masochist, they feel more pleasure in receiving it]
[Is that so?]
Chihiro starts to recall the things happen between Ryan and her in the bathroom, and she starts to picture it.

Chihiro blushes and stay silence

[You feel your crotch tingles when Ryan using your mouth savagely right?]
[Y-Yes]
Chihiro answer honestly while her face becomes redder

[That is why you and Ryan are very compatible with one and another]
[But, I feel Rylie and Kobayashi-sama is closer together!]
[Yes, we are closer because he doesn't feel any burden exposing himself to me, but we are not compatible with one and another]
[Why?]
[Because I am also S, that is why I am quite compatible with Chihiro as well]
Rylie brushes her hair to the side and smile lightly looking at Chihiro

Chihiro is charmed by Rylie's action and blushes slightly

[Chihiro, do you get it now?]
[Y-yes]
Chihiro now get the picture on what Rylie is trying to say, Rylie is telling Chihiro that Ryan and Rylie cannot satisfied one and another's urges, only Chihiro can do it for them.

[But, Rylie, you are very gentle and not really aggressive]
[My S and Ryan's S is also different]
[Please tell me!]
[I feel more satisfied abusing you with words, while Ryan is more into action]
[Ah, I see!]
Chihiro recalls how Rylie speak with her every time Rylie "helped" her

[Which one do you prefer Chihiro?]
[Erm, I… I… I like it both!]
Chihiro's face is red and her voice is slightly shaky as she now realizes how perverted she really is.

[Hehe… don't worry Chihiro I already know about that]
Rylie smiles and pats on Chihiro's head to let her feel more at ease

[How did you know Rylie?]
[Because I was attracted to you since I first saw you]
This declaration shocked Chihiro, she feels very happy and fortunate.

[Chihiro, didn't you felt the same when you first saw me?]
[Yes!]
Chihiro answers with certainty

[That is because people with S tendency will be charmed by people with M tendency, and vice versa]
[But, I never feel attracted to another person before]
[Chihiro's M is also very special]
[Please elaborate!]
[Chihiro can only be M to the people she is in love with]
[Eh? But… I… feel good with Kobayashi-sama as well]
[Ryan and I are basically the same person if you look into it]
[Eh, I kind of get it]
[Chihiro, don't think too much, feeling is the hardest to understand, just do anything your heart tell you to]
[Yes! Thank you, Rylie, I learned a lot!]
Rylie smirks, once again Chihiro fully believes her half-truth half lie technique.

Finishing breakfast, Rylie pick up her school bag

[Chihiro, I am leaving first, I will see you later!]
[Eh? Ok, see you later!]
Chihiro is confused on why Rylie left first, but she didn't think too much about it, she sits on the dining table waiting for Ryan.

It is until 07:15, Ryan comes back wearing his sportswear, with slight sweat on him.

[Good morning Chihiro!]
[Kobayashi-sama! Good morning!]
Chihiro jump and hugs Ryan at the entrance

[Chihiro, I am a little sweaty]
Ryan tries to push Chihiro away, but Chihiro clings onto him tightly

Ryan's body doesn't smell bad at all, Chihiro can smell a slight unique fragrance, she likes it very much. She buried her face on Ryan's chest and smells it.

[Chihiro, I need to go take a shower, otherwise we will be late again!]
Chihiro nods, reluctantly let Ryan go.

Ryan smile at Chihiro and went to take a shower. Ryan took 15-minute quick shower then change into his uniform.

It is 07:35 when Ryan and Chihiro leave the house.

Chihiro and Ryan hold hand walking toward the school, just like yesterday near the school entrance Chihiro let go Ryan's hand and walk behind him.

[Kobayashi-san, Good morning!]
[Good morning, erm… sorry I don't know your name]

A quite good-looking boy, with a neat straight black hair, wearing a spectacle greets Ryan. He looks like the study diligent type kind of guy.

[My name is Ichijou Kentaro, please to meet you!]
[Ichijou-san, please to meet you as well!]

Ryan and Ichijou greets one another, then walks side by side toward their class.

[Kobayashi-san, will your sister come to school today?]
[No, she won't, she will probably starts coming to school next week]
[I see, Kobayashi-san do you like to read novel?]
[I haven't read any novel before]
[Eh? Really? This novel is quite interesting, do you want to try and read it?]
Ichijou Kentaro pushes his spectacle and grabs a novel from his bag handle it to Ryan

[Ichijou-san wants to lend it to me?]
[Yeah, I think Kobayashi-san might like this.]
[Thanks, I will try reading it!]
Ryan take the novel and they continues to talk walking toward the class room.
At the shoe locker, Ryan and Ichijou continues to chat with one and another, Chihiro just silently follows behind them. Ryan peek at Chihiro from time to time feeling sorry about it.

[Good Morning, Kobayashi-kun!]
[Ah, Good Morning, Sawada-kun!]

Sawada Honoka, the attractive elegant lady which asked Ryan to go home together yesterday greets Ryan at the shoe locker.

[Good morning, Ichijou-kun!]
[Good morning, Sawada-san]

Ichijou Kentaro and Sawada Honoka also greets one and another.

[Eh? Tanaka Chihiro? Good morning, Tanaka-kun]
Sawada slightly surprise to see Chihiro behind Ryan and Ichijou, but she greets her anyway.

[Good morning, Sawada-san]
Chihiro nods gently and left, she walks toward the classroom alone

[Whoa, I didn't notice Tanaka-san behind us at all]
Ichijou comments slightly surprised

[Kobayashi-san, are you and Tanaka-san close?]
Sawada asked because she see Ryan was not surprised when she calls out Chihiro

[Yeah, we are in the same group]
Ryan doesn't bother explain in detail and just gloss over it

[Kobayashi Ryan, Kobayashi Rylie, and Tanaka Chihiro are in the same group, I noticed it when you two sits together yesterday]
Ichijou comments non-chalantly.
[I see]
Sawada replies while thinking deeply in her own thoughts.

Ryan continues to talk with Ichijou occasionally Sawada joins in with few comments as they walk toward the class

Ryan leaves Ichijou and Sawada's company and sits in his seat, next to Chihiro

[Chihiro, sorry about ignoring you]
[Kobayashi-sama, don't need to be sorry, this is what Chihiro must do after all]
Chihiro doesn't feel Ryan did anything wrong, she is also used to it being alone.

Class bell rangs, Yukiko walks into the class, she takes attendance and start the class. Yukiko keeps on peeking at Ryan from time to time, Yukiko was banned from getting close to Ryan for a week by Rylie, Yukiko feel sexually frustrated, but she has been trying hard to control those urges. Thus, she is always moody and strict to her students.

3 periods gone by without any problems, it is lunch break now.

Chihiro once again leave first and wait for Ryan at the 3rd floor stairway.

When Ryan picked up his bento

[Kobayashi-san, there is a person looking for you at the door!]
[Eh? Ok thanks, Watanabe-san]

As the rays of sunshine entered his room, Kence slowly opened his eyes and sat on his bed while rubbing his eyes. He spread his arms and stretch it while yawning. A satisfied smile hung on his lips. This was the best good night sleep he had for the past ten years thanks to his soft bed and pillow

He already forgot that he was supposed to be unable to sleep peacefully at night for fearing that Sven will kill him while he was asleep. Kence walked towards his small cabinet and grab his towel and another pair of clothes that was also provided by the academy

He exited his room and gasp at seeing Sven. What a coincidence, both of them just woke up and seems to about to take a bath

"I-I uh..." Kence wanted to say that Sven can use the bathroom first but seeing the kid's morning look with dishiveled hair made his words to be stuck on his throat. This was not because Kence was attracted to Sven but in the reason that he thought that the heavens are really unfair

If it was in his previous world, Sven would really be the perfect boyfriend material that was still handsome even if he just woke up. His bed hair just add up to his manly charms. Kence was immediately filled with jealousy seeing the man in front of him

Why can't he be as manly looking as Sven? 

Sven on the other hand misunderstood Kence, he thought that the kid was attracted to him. Although he admit that a just woke up Kence was adorable he was not someone who would indulge himself with this kind of things

Sven was about to go to the bathroom without caring about Kence but then he suddenly remembered Calter's words last night. He needs to make Kence to have a good impression on him.

"You can bath first" after saying those words Sven re-entered his room and slammed the door on Kence's face. His action of letting Kence use the bath first was quite good but shutting the door rudely like that made Kence dissatisfied

'Here I am getting jealous with your looks yet you act so rudely!' Kence gritted his teeth in frustration and stormed to the bathroom and did his business

After bathing he didn't bother informing Sven as for him that kid was too rude. He can't be bothered to be nice to him

As soon as Kence opened the door on their dorm he saw Calter who was about to knock on their door. His face almost met Calter's fist

"Yo! Good morning!" Calter greeted while smiling warmly, he was like the ray of sunshine in the morning that gave comfort to people

"Good morning!" Seeing Calter removed most of Kence's annoyance to Sven 

Seeing that no one was behind Kence made Calter to knit his eyebrows. "Where is your roommate?"

The good mood that Kence just gained immediately vanished and returned his mood to being sour. "I don't know and I don't care!" 

"Why are you so grumpy early in the morning?"

"I don't want to talk about it, let's just go to the class!" Saying this, Kence closed the door  and started walking before Calter grabbed his wrist

"Why don't we wait for Sven?" Kence's already sour mood become even more sour at that. "I don't want to!"

Calter grabbed Kence's nose and pinch it causing the latter to protest while crying out in pain. "Didn't we talk about this already? Be friends with him so he won't make things difficult with you!"

As Calter made a lot of sense even though Kence want to refute it but he can't think of any good comeback. He knew that he was in the losing position. Whether it be status, talent or strength he was far below Sven. He was in no position to be so prideful!

"Argh okay fine!" Kence re-opened the door and enter before knocking on Sven's door. Few moments pass but no one answered. Kence decided to check the bathroom and he heard the sound of water. It looks like Sven was already bathing

Kence knocked on the bathroom's door before talking. "Do you want to go to class together?" Kence tried the best he can to sound as nice as possible but it just gave Sven a wrong impression. He thought that Kence was trying to sound sweet (which he successfully did) because the kid was attracted to him

Few seconds passed that Kence didn't got an answer which made him to puff his cheeks in anger. When he was about to just forget it and attend the class with Calter finally Sven answered with a simple "okay"

Kence rolled his eyes, he waited for a few seconds yet all he got as a reply was "okay." Is that something so hard to say?

Calter also entered the dorm and sat on one of the chairs in the living room while waiting for the two

"What did he say?" Calter asked as soon as he saw Kence. "He said 'okay' " Kence answered while gritting his teeth with the words 'okay' which made Calter to be confuse at what made him angry this time

"Are you always grumpy every morning?" Normally, Kence was always behaving like a good child but he was always angry this morning

Realizing that he was acting like a bitch made Kence to sigh. "I'm sorry. It's just that Sven always irritates me" Kence said the last sentence in a low voice, fearing that the devil will hear it

His words made Calter to remember and old saying 'the more you hate, the more you love'

'It seems like there was really something going in with these two' Calter smiled like he just understood things while Kence become uncomfortable with that smile without him knowing why

After fifteen minutes of waiting, Sven was finally done and exited the bathroom while wiping his hair with a towel. Kence stared at Sven while thinking 'Handsome bastard! How can you be this handsome? I'm so jealous!'

As usual, Calter misunderstood Kence's actions and thought that Sven's after bath look attracted Kence

Sven as usual ignored everyone around him and entered his room. He readied himself and hang his towel before exiting the room

"Are you ready to go?" Calter asked and Sven just nodded

"Let's go to the first day of class!" Calter said with enthusiasm but the two didn't show the same enthusiasm as he has

Kence thought of the class back in earth. Just who likes waking up early in the morning to go to class with a boring teacher. Although he knew he will learn a lot but he thought that teachers would be a boring one

As for Sven....well, he was just being himself. It was as if nothing in this world can stimulate his excitement. Calter pouted at the actions of the two

----

When the trio entered the classroom of the Elite Class most of the students were already there. They saw the commoner girl from the test that has an Evergreen Bloodline. Kence and Calter waved hello at her and she waved back shyly

"Do you want to seat in the front Mr. Good Student?" Kence teased and earned Calter's eye roll. "No, I want to seat in the back"

Kence acted shock at that "Oh! Aren't you the type of the student that was loved by the teachers?" 

"Stop teasing me!"

Calter looked at Sven and asked him "do you want to seat at the back?" 

"Yeah"

Then the three walked to the unoccupied seats at the back. Sven took the chair that was closest to the window, followed by an unwilling Kence. He wants to let Calter be the seatmate of his 'enemy' but the latter forced him to sit next to Sven much to his dissatisfaction

It was like he has a statue as a seatmate that will occasionally become human just to give him a bad attitude

After a few minutes the teacher finally entered the classrom which made the students to become quite and they all settled down

Teachers are different from Elders. The Elders are the pillars of the academy and you won't normally see them. However, they were assigned by the academy to facilitate the entrance exam so that the students would take the exam more seriously

Most teachers on the other hand has lower status and strenght than the Elders. They are the ones assigned to teach the students while the Elders would just occasionally do it 

Although their strength are inferior to the Elders but all the teacher are at least in the Grand Knight Stage! Only a level below than the ranks of the Nobles

Most of the Noble's personal head guards are also just only at this rank. After all once you broke through in the Blood Baron Rank you have a chance to become a minor Nobility in the Dukedom. Even if they are the weakest and most inferior Noble a Noble was still a Noble!

This made it so that it was hard for even powerful Noble Clans to recruit even just a Blood Baron. 

"Good morning class, I am your teacher Narry!"

The male teacher was about 5'11 in height and has a very muscular body. It looks as if his clothes would be ripped by his bulging muscles. The students even wonder about what his weight is because of all those muscles. Even his name was also weird

"As this is your first day, I will explain simple things about the academy first"

"Firstly, all of you are required to attend the General Class about cultivation that will be held four times a week for a duration of one hour. I know that most of you already learned what the teachers will teach you however, we are here to refresh those knowledge. Most of the time as the students already 'know' the basics of cultivation they become too arrogant causing them to make a basic mistake"

"A mistake that they thought they would never do because they already learned about those things. We, the teachers are here to remind all those basic information for all of you!"

"Second, you are also free to join other specialized class like Sword, Spear, Lance, Alchemy, Rune Formations Class etc. There you can learn to wield your weapon better or learn how to make pills or formations. Just like the General Cultivation Class those specialize class will be done four times a week but it would be three hours per class!"

"And for the third one, I your teacher in General Cultivation Class will be the one responsible to distribute the class' resources. It was up to me to decide who will get the resources so better be good and attend my class while being serious on your cultivation"

The teachers long explanation doesn't cause much of an effect but his third point made the class to to talk with each other. If he was the once to decide then whoever he took a liking to would be blessed by the heavens!

Some of the Nobles already formulated on their mind how can they curry favor with their teacher. Narry, was fully aware of the students' thought. This was not his first time to be assigned in class and he naturally has a good grasp on how the mind of the students work

"All of you better keep your thoughts to yourself. Although I am the one to decide who will get the resources but I still need to give reports to the academy on why you are worthy of the resources to avoid too much bias. However, if I am satisfied with your performance I can send a letter of recommendation to the academy to give you more resources"

This made the uproar to calm down a little. All of the students swore to have a good and healthy relationship with their teacher for their own benefits

"Now then let's officially start our class discussion!"
