Chapter 209 First Day
Now, as I have talked about it beforehand, the lessons inside the academy have a variety range of subjects in order to implement the general knowledge to students.
Which was also the reason why most of the students here were complaining.
"Man….When are these going to end?"
"Yeah…. It is very boring."
As the instructor that was giving the lecture about history finished the class and got out, the voices of complaints were being raised.
Of course, that was also the case for me.
But not because I disliked the history.
In fact, it is the reverse. I quite like history and politics.
However, the reason why it was boring was thanks to the instructor, since the way she spoke was like a lullaby to make students fall asleep.
"Sigh…. That turtle finally finished the class."
I mumbled slowly as I stood up from my seat.
"Turtle? That is disrespectful."
Aliya said while she pushed her head onto her seat.
"Disrespectful? You are right….. I should apologize to turtles."
Responding to her words with irony, I left my seat and left the class since it was the last class of today.
"Ha, ha. That is funny(!)"
As she answered that, Aliya noticed the eye signals that were saying not follow me.
"Okay, okay."
Mumbling in a low voice, she just stood there, even though I knew she wanted to come along.
\'Sigh…. What a pain.\'
The reason why Aliya and I were doing such a thing was pretty simple.
To hide from my sister, of course. Since I am pretty sure if she learns about Aliya, it would be very hard to deal with her anger which will put Aliya in danger, and it is not like I can cut down Diana either.
But, at the same time, it is something that is inevitable as well.
Since, in the end, no secrets will stay underneath in this world.
In any case, while I was walking away from the classroom, I noticed the other students were looking at me with different expressions.
However, one thing was common.
It was the fact that all of them were wary of me.
Which must have been the reason why no one approached me in the class.
In any case, it is not like I need them to approach me, so it is fine.
There was also one more thing I noticed.
The students here have yet to get used to the feeling of using bracelets.
In my case, since I had the system for two or more years, I was already familiar with how the interface worked.
But, for them, it was something that was very new and complex, which was probably the reason why aside from me and some others, everyone was still waiting for another lesson to start.
"Where is he going?"
"Hmm? Did the classes end?"
"Ah…. I hadn\'t checked our schedule yet."
\'Just check the next lesson, will you?\'
I thought, getting out of the classroom.
And just as I had left, in front of me, there was a girl waiting.
"Brother."
Of course, it was Diana.
If being with such a girl has downsides, one of them would be the constant feeling of being watched and your life not being in your control, which was something I didn\'t like.
"How was your class?"
As we headed outside of the building, Diana and I started chatting while we were headed toward our dormitories.
"Classic."
"Classic?"
"I mean, it was nothing much. The magic teacher was good, but the history class was boring."
"I see…. Brother, are you okay?"
"Hmm? Why?"
"I felt the mana of Emma and Arthur inside."
"Why would I not be?"
"I didn\'t mean it that way. It is just, did they do something?"
"No. Is there a reason they should have?"
"Well, just as you were placed in their class, Alicia was in mine."
"Alicia….."
"Yes. That bitch was here."
"So?"
"I don\'t have any definite reasons, but I felt like she was planning something."
"Hmm…. Her feelings were leaking, huh?"
"Yes. I know I said that reading her thoughts was harder than others, but this time her thoughts were nothing complicated, and her emotions were leaking."
"How was it?"
"It was dark. That girl, she was always like that."
"I see….. I will be careful. You should also be."
"Don\'t worry; I can handle myself."
"Heh….. It seems my sister grew up well, huh?"
"This lady here is now a fierce lion.
"I feel like you are more of a cheeky one."
"I can be both, can\'t I?"
"You can."
As we talked like that, we reached our rooms.
"Brother, what are you going to do now?"
"Hmm…. I will probably study the book I borrowed and maybe look for other books in the library?"
"I see….. Then, let\'s train together. I don\'t have anyone to spar with here."
"We can do that, but not now."
"Why?"
"I need to do something."
"Do what?"
Diana asked as she slightly came closer.
From the eyes that were looking at me alone, I could infer that she was trying to read my emotions.
Of course, in such cases, you need to set the boundaries.
"Diana."
Even though you need to be rude.
As I activated my trait [Tyrant\'s Aura], the oppressive aura around me got stronger.
"Just because I let you do as you please a bit doesn\'t mean you can do whatever you want."
"Huh?"
Before she could say anything even further, I left and entered my room.
*********
The moment Callius left with his oppressive aura, the girl that was subjected to it was just standing there.
"Ehehehehe…."
However, different from what one would expect, the girl had a smile on her face.
A crazy smile that was reaching her ears.
"Ah…. Brother…. This feeling is still here."
Diana mumbled as she once again felt the aura of his brother.
"He is still the same."
The reason why she asked such a question was to see how her brother would react.
Was he the same brother she had fallen in love with, or did he become softer as time went on?
This was the question she had.
Though, she got her answer back….
"I love him so much."
/SNIFF/
As she sniffed the air that her brother just passed, she left the place and entered her own dormitory.
"I need to help him."
While mumbling like that...
