Chereads / The Meek Heroine Avoids the Crown Prince / Chapter 8 - Chapter 5: The Boy Wearing Glasses

Chapter 8 - Chapter 5: The Boy Wearing Glasses

(Lily's POV)

The first class have ended early and I've already finish the assignment given to us. The next class have come and it was our Magic Class.

Our professor will be Ms. Daniella Euterpe. Like professor Lindel, miss Daniella was also a young professor who become a professor after graduate. Unlike Sir Lindel whose good on the field of academics, miss Daniella was a skilled magician. She is used to be the genius prodigy in the field of magic in this academy. And now she is a professor in our academy. In the novel she is a former classmate of professor Lindel and she secretly have a crush on him. In the future she will confess to professor and be with him forever.

Daniella: I see, so Sir Lindel, didn't test your magic yet just like him. Magic Testing were already finished in 1st period so weren't allowed to test at this time. So,

Daniella raises her wand stick then the end of it glows and suddenly a batch of crystal appears in each of us.

Daniella: That's a mini size of the Magic crystal tester. So,we can still test your magic even without coming there.So, then shall we start?

Claire:This must be exciting, right Lily? I wonder what would be my magic power is.

True to be told I've never test my magic power ever since I was born.

I skip attending the Magic power ceremony when I was still little inorder to avoid the crown prince. I've never attend any social gatherings at all so my existence was unknown. So, I am a bit curious about my magic power.

After a few seconds when we hold the crystal ball with our hands as our teacher instructed  it suddenly glows and the color of the plain crystal ball changes.

Daniella:I'm sure that some of you were teached about the elements of magical power,right? So the color of that crystal ball is your main element  but that doesn't  mean that you couldn't learn other elemets of magical power. For those who are new to this you can find out about it in our lessons in the future.

(Daniella refer to the commoners)

Daniella: Mofumofu. So, some of you doesn't posses magical powers. True to be told this academy only accept person who posses mana in their body and whose able to use magic.

Daniella 's words surprise everyone

who don't posses magical powers.

Daniella:But you don't have to worry since this academy doesn't just focus on magic but also in academic field so you guys can still remain studying in here.

Student:Then what will happen to our grades professor?

Daniella:Tch,tch,tch.....your homeroom teacher really didn't orient you guys. This afternoon there will be no classes since student will tour around to the lecture hall to pick the classes they choose to study. The policy of this school is the students are the one who gonna pick the class they want. 6 class should be complied by the student since the other two is occupied by your homeroom teacher and he or she's specified subject and the other one is mine which is a permanent subject to all students.

I've never though that I will experience this. The novel doesn't specifies this much so I never though that the actual thing would be like this.

Daniella: Now,now shall we find out what your magic element is? Show it to me.

Daniella first survey the first row of the class.

Claire:Lily, what is the color of the Magic ball appeared to you?

Lily:....

Lily didn't speak but she move out her hands from the Magic ball and the color of the Magic ball is silver and it was glowing when you see it it was like a miracle light. Daniella notice it and all of the attention in the class goes to Lily.

Claire:That color....must be.

Daniella:It looks like we have something interesting in here,huh?

What?Why are they staring at me?

....Oh no, Why just I've realize it now?!

In the original novel Liliane's magic element is very special. The color appeared to her was silver too and in this empire, silver symbolize the silver dragon who fight along with the gold dragon. The gold dragon is known for be the ruler of this empire who were the one who creates this empire so gold is the national color of this empire and only royal family can wear this color. Since silver is the pair of gold that means silver represents the mother of this kingdom, that means those who posses silver element means they are the ones fated to be the queen and stand beside the emperor just like the silver and gold dragon. Since silver element was very rare, most queens in the past generations doesn't posses this.

And in the original novel since Liliane was the true pair of the prince which holds the gold powerthey are meant to be together even in their magic power proves it.That mean there was no escape for me. The stare from the everybody it sure

Daniella: (chuckes) So, what do we gonna do about it?

Lily:.....

Claire:It can't be Lily,...you are the lady of the Oracle.

Lily then stands up and take asking for forgiveness bow. It surprise everyone since it was rude for a noble to bow to those who are lower in rank from them.After that she stands up and do a sign language.

"In exchange of my life please I ask that what you saw right now please forget it and never share it to anyone".

Daniella went surprised include the other students but some didn't understand what she say.

"Please"

Daniella snap out her curiosity then make a serious look.

Daniella:Are you fine about that?

Daniella stare to Lily's eyes seriously but Lily eyes say that she was serious.

Daniella:I know it was bad for keeping a secret from the royal family but if it was for the safety of my students.

Daniella raises her wand and then a bright glow cover the while area. After that glow the students were a bit curious.

Daniella: Alright, class do you know what's the color of Miss Lily's magic.

Class: It was blue. A water element.

Lily:?!

Daniella: Good,now let's go for the next person.

And then the students try to show their elements one by one. Daniella just blink to Lily.

Lily:(Did Professor she remove their memories?!)

Few Minutes later everyone already found their elements and Claire's element was Earth and I was Ice which is a part of water element.

But in reality I can manipulate all elements but teacher just hide it. Our 2nd class ended and break comes.

Professor Daniella approach me.

Daniella: Miss Liliane please visit me after classes was over.

Lily gives a nod.Then after that Daniella have left.

Claire: Lily, I'm glad that we found out our Magic Element. I'm so excited to learn more how to control my powers.

Lily: ▪_ _ _ _|▪▪▪, _|▪▪|_ _|▪ ?

(1st time)

Claire: Well,not likely. Since we are nobles we are teached how to use our Magic at young age but that magic we cast are only basics so I want to try learning more powerful magic.

Lily: _▪▪|▪_|_▪|▪|▪_▪|_ _ _|▪▪_|▪▪▪

(Dangerous)

Claire: Nope it's not! The more magic you cast the more you get thrilled and enjoyed. That's what I believe. And if I am strong I can protect the people's.

Claire was so amazing I wonder what is her dream.But,is it alright to ask?

Lily:

▪_ _|▪▪▪▪|▪_|_ , ▪▪|▪▪▪,

_▪_ _|_ _ _|▪▪_|▪_▪, _▪▪|▪_▪|▪|▪_|_ _?

(What is your dream?)

Claire: My dream?, It was nothing at all but, I want to become a knight. I want to serve this country so that's....

A knight?Claire sure have a wonderful dream. But,what would be mine? I want to change my fate but I still have no plans to completely change it.

Claire:Ah!it was so embarrassing to say as a girl.

Lily shook her head.

Claire: I'm flustered, you're really a nice person deep inside,Lily.

Lily:⁉️

Claire: But I don't intend to your secrets are so rest assured.

Claire was really a kind person. I feel sorry for her because I can't say the truth.

On their way Claire accidentally bump someone. It was a male whose warring a thick glasses that you can't see his eyes and have s messy hair. The one it's holding fell him as well as him.

Claire:Oh my gosh,I'm so sorry that I didn't see you.

Claire quickly helps him up picking the things he fall.

Boy: N-no,I'm not the one whose looking S-so...

The boy was on a little panic. Basing from his looks he looks like a commoner.

Claire:Don't deny it. It was not a big deal. Just let me to help you.

Boy: U-um,I'm sorry.

Even Claire insisted the bot was really flustered.After all there are gazes from everyone. They start to chatter as they see Claire whose a noble was picking up the things that the commoner fall.

Before tidying up everything Claire accidentally pick up a hand flyers that shows for hiring news paper club members.

Claire:Newspaper Club?

Boy: Ah,That?!

The boy starts to panic more.

Boy: T-that.....it was just a trash so it...

was shameful to be seen....by...

Claire:What are you talking about?

Claire then seriously look at the boy.

Claire:Please don't say that this was just a trash!

Boy:B-But that was really...a trash.

They boy suddenly got ashamed.

Claire: ?!

Boy:After all,there was no stupid to join to that club.

The boy then quickly steal the flyer from Claire. It any be rude because Claire was a noble but the boy didn't hesitated. After that he just ran away.

Claire:Lily,did just I hurt him?

Lily shook her head.

_▪_ _|_ _ _|▪ ▪_, ▪_ _ _|▪▪_|▪▪▪|_, _▪▪|_ _ _

(You, just do)

_|▪▪▪▪|▪, ▪_▪|▪▪|_ _▪|▪▪▪▪|_

_|▪▪▪▪|▪▪|_▪|_ _▪

(Thing)

Claire:I want to apologize to him.

Lily: _▪_|▪▪|_▪|_▪▪ (Kind)

Claire: We,don't say that. I guess we should eat first.

Lily give a nod.

Like the Dormitory's dining halls the cafeteria was the same too. The cafeteria was divided into two. One for the nobles and one for the commoners and both of them have same characteristics like the dining hall. Me and Claire surely goes to the nobles cafeteria. In here,many students eat and many was chattering too.

Claire:Newspaper Club,.....

Claire was still thinking to what happened earlier than focusing on which class she should take.

Claire:....

Claire's silent suddenly interrupted when the waiter comes to take our order.

Claire: 1 glass of Winter melon milk tea, 1 plate of bagel, 1 small bowl of vegetable salad and cinnamon bun.

Lily write in her whiteboard and show it to the waiter.

1 plate of omelet rice, 1 chicken macaroni salad, ice brewed coffee,

and fruit tart.

Waiter: Please wait a moment.

Then the waiter have left.

Claire: By the way Lily are you stopping to the student council this afternoon?

Lily gives a nod.

Claire:Then should we go and see the class labs after this. I wish we pick the same class.

Lily gives a nod. Few minutes later their order have came and they both eat together.Soon when they finish they left the cafeteria and head to the lecture hall.

Claire: Lets see first the classes we can apply too. Uh,Lily you can just wait there. It's crowded there so I handle it myself.

Lily just give a nod. While Lily was waiting someone just pass in front of him and it was the boy from earlier.

Lily:(That man,Should I call him?)

I intend to call him but he left already so I followed him behind. I know that Claire will gonna worry for me but it's fine if I just left there a little I wonder. The boy earlier head to the back of the lecture building and there are bunch of guys waiting there. They seems like aristocrats What do they plan to do?

Boy: "Um,"

Guy: You bitch you really want us to wait that long,huh?!

Boy: S-sorry

Guy: Don't freaking say sorry to us you bitch!

Guy B: If you wanted to say sorry just give us what we want.

Boy: H-here.

The boy give them a magazine that seems like porn magazine.

Guy: Good so you've known your place, huh?! I know that you really are a trusted b-e-s-t friend.

Why do that boy carrying a porn magazine. Ah! Now I know. Since we aristocrats weren't allowed to carry such some stuff they've ordered it from a commoner bit wouldn't be bad to that commoners reputation if it were found out?

"We student council must protect students of this school"

I then remember what the president told me yesterday. Whatever happens I must stop them.

Lily show herself and approach them.

Guy: Huh?!

Guy B: What do you want missy?!

Boy:Eh?

I'm sure these guys won't understand me if I don't talk. I guess it's fine if I talk a little after all there was no one here.

Lily: I saw what you've done. Could I ask that you stop that or else I report you to the principal.

Guy: Huh?!

Guy B: Oy,oy miss are you kidding us?

Guy C: If you'd like you can hang out with us? We give you a special service if you want.

Lily: Will you stop that nonsense I saw everything.

Guy: Hey miss don't interfere with us.

Or maybe you want to join us. Since you saw it we may test it to you if you want.

These trashes their so annoying and disgusting!

Lily: I get straight to the point. Surrender yourselves, head to the guidance and accept that you did a wrong thing.

Guy: Are you out of your mind miss?!

Guy B: Ofcourse we won't do that.

Guy C: Right,Right.

Lily: I guess I have no choice but to take you there.

Guy: What do you think you can do?!

Lily:

I bind you from Behind

I bind you from Before

That you'll hurt my people never ever more

I bind you from the Left

I bind you from the Right

I bind you by Day

And I bind you by Night.

I bind you from Below

I bind you from Above

That you may ever know

The laws of Life and Love

I bind you with your own Good conscience

Within And so let this magic Unfold

And spin....

Tie off the ends of the yarn With three sturdy knots to seal the spell. Freeze Oh binds and never let them go.

Lily recite a few incantations and those three got wrapped up with ice chains.

Guy: Let us go!

Guy B: I-Ice?!

Lily: Yes it was ice, in this county it was very rare to find an ice magical user. So I am not surprised to your reactions. Now should I take you there myself? or take the teacher here to see it herself.

Boy: U-um.

Lily look to the boy from earlier.

Lily: You are the victim here so don't interfere.

Guy: Who do you think you are?! Let us go! Do you you know who I am?!

Lily: My,my I didn't expect that there are some seniors of mine who skip the entrance ceremony. Very well I introduce myself. I am Liliane von Rosenberg the daughter of Marquis Rosenberg and the new member of the student council.

Even Liliane talk since earlier she never show any signs of emotions until now. Only her voice give expression but her face have change.

Guy: M-Marquis?!

Lily: Ive already introduce myself.So will you tell me who you are?

The group of them look at each other like they are communicating.

Guy: Fine we surrender so release us.

Lily: I can't trust that. I release you after I take you to the counselor.

Guy: No!

Lily: You kid,you come too.

Lily order the boy.

Boy: U-um you don't have to do this.

Lily:This is just my duty as a student council. I put a vow to it.

Boy: B-but

Lily: No buts just come with me.

Boy: Um,

After that we head to the counselor office and report what happened. Those three got suspended and the boy earlier asked to write an essay as for reflecting his actions for bringing some forbidden books and for not reporting those three. After that we left the counselor office and we are now walking in the hallway. It was already sunset. This is so shameful that I skip attending the student council today. I feel bad for myself.

I am just new but I skip already. I wonder what their reactions and I didn't even ask permission to Claire I am sure she's worried for me.

Boy: U-um I'm very sorry for taking your time. I know you have plenty of plans but I!

Lily: It doesn't matter so don't worry about it. By the way could you tell me your name?

Boy: Eh?! I-is it alright?

Lily: Yes, I want to know you.

Rui: I am Rui,Rui Sweeney a 2nd year.

Lily: Rui I see, well I am Liliane von Rosenberg but you may call me Lily.

It was my pleasure to be your acquaintance.

Rui: Um, Lily-sama.

Lily:Please stop the formalities we are in the academy after all. I don't need honorific.

Rui: S-sorry.

Lily: Don't ask for forgiveness and be casual. It don't mind it.

Rui: Is it really alright?

Lily: I swear upon my family name.

Rui: ⁉️T-then Lily, thank your for saving me earlier. I am just a humble commoner for you to be saved so,.... I'm so sorry.

Lily: I  don't mind it and by the way this will be the last time I use my voice.

Rui: Eh?

Lily: I really don't want to talk so if ever we met again. I hope that you can understand Morse code because that's how I use to communicate.

Rui: I-I understand Morse code.

Lily: Good, well then farewell.

Rui: Um

Lily: Hmm?

Rui: You're looking for classes to study right?

Lily: Yes, so what about it?

Rui: You can still pass your information till this 6. It was already 5 so you still have a hour of you hurry.

Lily: Thank you very much.It helps me a lot.

Rui just wave and Lily quickly departs.

Thank God I still have time! I must be fast or else?!

To be continue....
