Chapter 61: Return (1/2)
{A little change of plans, master. I will be helping you learn magic now…}
Holy shit!!! No, not you again!
{I am sorry to hear that you are not much pleased to see me, master. But there is nothing to worry about. I will be clearing all your misunderstanding after a few more minutes.}
What!? After a few more minutes!? Why not now, huh!? You need time to think of a plan!? Maybe, this time on how to make me rape Rebecca!?
{No, master. It’s simply because something is going on in your class and I would prefer it if you to see through it first.}
You—
“Hello, everyone.”
Suddenly, a sweet voice enters my ears and the black miasma in front of my eyes vanishes. Standing on the teacher's podium is no one other than Princess Leena, looking at all of it with a slight smile on her face.
I look around myself and to my surprise, find that all the new students have settled themselves down on their respective seats already.
“Due to lack of time, I couldn't get a chance to address the school earlier in the auditorium, but I would like to at least say something to my new classmates.
“First of all, I am delighted to be in this class with you all. As someone coming from another country and being of a different race, I can understand their being some differences in view and opinion among us but, I hope that we all can get along and become friends with each other.
“And yes, I must inform you that I have been given the responsibility of monitoring all the magic practices which will happen in this class together with your class teacher. And I am really looking forward to it!
“As the one being overlooking this class, my goal is to have all the 20 human selections from this class at the end of the month and I hope that you all will work hard with me to reach this goal. I would also like to request the Vampire and Beastkin students to train hard and get selected in the top 20 of their races as well.
“Now, we will start with our first lesson of magic as soon as your class teacher arrives. Thank you very much for listening to me,” Leena finishes with a little bow and moves to her seat in the front row.
Fuck... This is one of the rare incidences when I regret being a backbencher.
But well, it seems like princess Leena is really passionate about having us all selected for the tournament. And she wants to work hard with as well. I was not expecting the sole princess of the Dark Elf kingdom to have such a nice nature.
Anyway, let’s get back to that asshole system.
Hey, black syste—
“Psss... Jacob!”
Ryan, who is sitting beside me suddenly calls me out.
“What!?” I ask exasperatedly.
“I cannot believe this weird one is in our class. Those clothes are so suspicious...” he says in a fearful tone.
What the fuck!?
“See, first of all, she looks really beautiful in those clothes, okay? And how can you call her weird!? A busty babe like her can never be weird! I recommend you look at the mirror if you want to see a weird person!” I say angrily.
“Who the fuck do you think I am talking about?” Ryan asks, confused.
“Princess Leena, of course,” I answer.
“Eh? No, idiot! I was talking about that,” Ryan says while pointing forward.
What the...
Sitting on the farthest seat of the middle row is a cloaked and hooded figure.
“See? Blue cloak. It is the one I saw in the auditorium before...” Ryan says.
Damn... That really is suspicious. Especially after what happened in the morning.
“Hey, Leo, you seeing that person?” I ask Leo who is sitting on my other side.
No reply comes.
“Leo?” I ask again while tapping his shoulder.
Again, no reply.
I look at his face.
Shit...
His eyes are hollow and are looking forward as if staring into the depths of an endless void of darkness. There is also a really scary smile on his face which is characteristic of a man who has lost all the hope in his life.
N-Never mind. I don’t think I should say anything to him right now. This guy needs some alone time...
Slowly, I turn on my seat to face forward again.
Suddenly, black miasma erupts in front of my eyes.
