15 14 (2/2)

Lara came over and covered my ears, blocking out the comments. Even though she wasn't an official servant of mine, I appreciated the gesture. I placed a gentle pat on her head before muttering thank you. She simply smiled back and shook her head.

Once Walton put me back in my seat, I slumped over the table immediately. My body was very weak as equipment magic does a lot of things. Equipment magic requires real life materials to even materialize, but it fades away and the materials go back.

The door was then opened, earning screams from everywhere. Slowly turning my neck, I saw white capes. I let out a groan as I knew what was going to happen. Raymond and Layla walked over to see my still limping body.

”Sorry for meeting you like this. I wanted to say something about that fight. That fight was beautiful. I truly regretted letting you get out of my grasp. Will you come back to my side once again?” His voice making my knees weak, it was so smooth. I shook my head towards his question.

”I'm not willing to be Queen again. I have made up my mind and you can't change it.” He let out a sigh and nodded. He took his leave along with Layla. Lara was pulled out before they left. Who knew what they were planning.

Lara came in after a while and the teacher came in. He put the attendance book on the table and sighed.

”I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused during your raid battle. It seemed I made it too strong. For that, I'm sorry for making all of you hurt, especially the lady there. She was one who killed the monster. So she should be applauded for doing so.” Then the class roared with excitement as they congratulated me for doing such thing.

The class then proceeded on with no further interruptions. Then came the break time where everyone was rushing to the courtyard to get stronger. I saw Walton and Lara practiced as I grumbled underneath the shade of the tree. My legs were dangling off the branch as I watched them, fingers itching to practice.

I paid no mind to the close interactions they were getting due to the fact that Walton is simply her teacher and she's a student. They do look like a perfect couple honestly. A shy girl with a gentleman, definitely worthy.

Walton was teaching Lara how to conduct a nature spell since his strength was in nature. She casts a spell and roots coming from the earth shot up, creating a barrier around her. The roots then slowly faded as she ended the spell, not wanting to waste too much of her energy.

Feeling lethargic still, I let myself lean against the bark of the tree. Gentle winds flowing through my locks and the sound of the leaves rustling make a good lullaby. Bit by bit, I closed my eyes, enjoying the nature before falling asleep.
