The next day, thanks to her preset alarm, Erza was able to wake up in the morning to attend her Monday class. Her body was aching all over the places and reeked of sweat. With much difficulties, she forced herself to take shower and walked to the class.
Since she came out a bit late today, Erza did not bump to Lisa and Linda. However, she still met Elsa halfway to her class.
"Are you okay? What happened to you?" Elsa asked with full of concern after seeing how bad was her condition.
"I'm okay. No need to worry about me. I just pushed my self too much in practice." Erza tried to smile, but stopped it halfway since she felt pain on her jaws.
"Fine. Take more care of yourself next time." Elsa could not help but to laugh a little in the end. After all, it was hard to see Erza beaten up this bad.
When she arrived at her class, Mozart and Qi Long were very surprised to see her condition. All of her classmates wondered what actually happened to her. The bruises were too obvious since they were red and blue in colour.
"Ouccchhh..." Erza moaned in pain when her butt touched the chair. Elsa could not hold her laughs anymore.
"Are you really okay? Need me to bring you to the infirmary?" Elsa asked again. However, Erza shook her head expressing that she was fine. She trusted her recovery ability. In fact, she wanted to push her body to quickly adapt and naturally recovered.
Mr. Ariel arrived and he was also surprised to see her condition. Erza just gave him a vague explanation of what happened before Mr. Ariel started the class.
Today lesson was about the difference in power between Apprentice, Knight, King, and Emperor realm experts. In term of their damage outputs, an Apprentice attack was between 1 – 500 tons in might, while a Knight could deal up to 10,000 tons.
A King realm expert attack could reach up to 100,000 tons in might, whereas one wave from Emperors would weigh about 200,000 to 1,000,000 tons.
Obviously, their defence, speed, stamina, resistance, and perception were also vastly different. In conclusion, the disparities between realms were truly enormous. It was really rare for someone to jump rank and beat an opponent on the higher realm.
For Erza to be able to kill a king realm expert, it was all due to her Cloak of Aztaroth and her Eyes of Chronos.
When Erza met up with Lisa and Linda during the lunch time, both girls were also surprised to see the state Erza was in. Even after hearing her explanation, both girls still could not imagine what kind of training she undertook to end up in her current state.
Mozart naturally was also there. However, he did not talk much if he was not asked. Overall, he was just enjoying the company of four girls around him. The girls had no idea what kind of 'practice' he did on the weekend.
Since becoming Erza friend on last Saturday, the number of boys finding problem with him kept increasing and there was no sign of stopping yet. None of them managed to beat him so far. Instead, they were beaten so bad until their moms would not be able to recognize them anymore.
Qi Long lackeys were amongst them. He found it disgraceful for someone of his status to challenge Mozart, hence he asked his 'friends' instead.
Most of them were more than happy to get on Qi Long good side. Unfortunately, in the end, they were left regretting their decisions. Mozart was not an easy target like they thought. They silently blamed the academy to put him in rank 49. Mozart should be in the TOP 10!
Just like in the previous days, Erza went to Macquarie Lake once her afternoon class ended. She needed to rest her mind. She met Beel there and told him everything that happened. After all, that was part of her oath. Of course, she did it via voice transmission.
When Beel heard that she transformed into her demon form during her practice, his expression changed.
"You fool!"
Erza was taken back by his scolding and tried to explain herself. "I had ensured that the academy staff did not spy on me, nor recorded my fight."
"I never said that you should concern yourself with the academy staff! I'm speaking about the principal and the academy great elders!"
"But how could they know?"
"I really wonder whether you are acting like a fool or you are really a fool. Of course, they would know from the grand formation spirit! You thought a mere staff would be able to control the formation spirit?" Beel was not pleased at all with her carelessness.
Erza suddenly started to panic. She really did not think that far. She still needed to learn a lot from the boy in front of her.
"So what should I do?"
"No idea. Especially after the news of you being this injured reach them, I'm sure they would investigate what truly happened." Erza felt even worse now.
"Don't cry. Crying won't solve anything." Beel scolded her again after seeing the tears in her eyes.
Erza was speechless. She could only lower her head while trying to think of a solution. She was not ready yet to be exposed.
Suddenly, Erza felt the space around her twisted and next she found herself in a room full of books. Beel was also there with her.
"Where are we?!" Erza was totally panicked right now. She thought that the elders had moved against her.
"Relax. We are in Elder Adam office right now." Beel recognized this place.
"Come here." Erza suddenly heard an elderly voice coming from one corner of the room. Hearing that it was Elder Adam did not make her feeling better. In fact, she even felt more nervous right now because he knew that she was a half demon!
Beel knew that she was afraid, therefore he held her hand and walked first. Soon, Erza was able to see an elderly figure sitting behind a desk.
"I'm sure you two were talking about the issue of her in the training hall, correct?" Elder Adam started to talk.
"Yes, elder." Beel responded as he saw Erza was keeping her silent.
"Do you know your fault?" Sir Adam looked at her.
"Was it my fault to be born as a half demon?" Erza suddenly looked up to him and coldly answered.
Her emotion was far from stable. In fact, she was very angry to her parents.
Why her mother gave birth to her?
Why did she have a relationship with a demon?
Why did they abandon her?!
