//Magical Studies With Emie-sama (3)//
[The third day, the time is 7AM, of the very first magical studies demonstrations at the Garmunton Royal Academy.]
"..."
[Emie Couture had woken up, her vision is still cloudy. She rubs her eyes.]
"Where am I..?"
[She lifts up the blanket. Couture still hasn't noticed the presence of the person she'd been laying her head on.]
"Don't tell me.. I FELL ASLEEP ON THE HILL?!"
"DID THAT COMMONER LEAVE ME HERE?! WHAT A PAIN!"
"AND WHAT'S WITH THIS SOFT.. cushion..?!"
I wake up to witness Emie-sama holding something she shouldn't be holding, an interesting move indeed. Ara ara. It looks like she's trying to process the current situation.
"My, my, Emie-sama. A brave woman, aren't you? Taking advantage of me like while I'm asleep, how lovely."
She backs away in an instant, a very red facial color. She's confused, and oblivious as always; Nothing out of the ordinary here.
"Do you think I'd do something as twisted as that?! A-and will you explain to me why you're here with me right now?!"
"Oh, do you not remember? We were on it the whole night!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!"
I say in my 'alluring voice', in a skip of a beat Emie-sama interrogates herself with a face written of self-worry. I don't blame her, should I stop? Teehee.
"Yesterday, right after Allard-sensei went along his way, mid-way in our heartfelt conversation, you suddenly fell asleep on my shoulder."
"So why did you not wake ME?!"
"You looked very exhausted, so instead of waking you up, I held you tight. Fortunately.. my bag was right beside me which contained my personal blanket, I wrapped you in it so you wouldn't get cold."
Well, I might not be the one that did that. It was likely Erika and Louiz that brought and covered the blanket around us, I'm truly grateful.
"..Is that so? Well, I'm.. thankful. but STI-"
"Ara?"
"I said, but STILL.. don't get your hopes up. You are still a lowly commoner! Don't think I'll be softening up on you anytime soon.."
"Understood, whatever you say to me, I'll still love you."
"..."
"Hey, you two lovebirds done flirting yet? Class is about to start, y'know. There's always time for later, righ-aKAKAK-AIKO!"
"Shall we go to class now, Emie-sama, LOUIZ-sama?"
We then go to class. I'm also terribly sorry, Louiz-sama. I suddenly had the urge to pull on your ear, likely out of frustration.
Today, apparently, Magical Studies is the first subject of the day, how exciting. We do the usual, greet Allard-sensei by the school gates and go to the training grounds(the field). And it seems like we have a new lesson. I wonder what type of magic and special abilities Eri and Louiz acquired from their amulets, I have not seen them yet, as a matter of fact.
I notice Erika-chan shooting what looks to be rocky, brown shards hovering above the ground. This must mean she acquired the earth aptitude.
"HYA! MUAHAHAHAHA!"
Scary, I'm shivering. I'll talk with Erika-chan later. Just for my own safety.
Louiz-sama, on the other hand, seems like he's trying to spout water out of a fan.
"Nature's Beauty! Wuzzah!"
Huh.. that sounds like an awfully familiar name for a casting spell. Isn't that a 'party trick' spell from Sono Kuba? The light novel? Eh, it might just be a big coincidence. I don't remember hearing from the game, too.
Meanwhile, Emie-sama is being tutored by Prince Peter-sama, which is also her long-time crush. Yes, you heard that right. I have a RIVAL now, I'm still skeptical about him, though. He's the type to get cocky fast when it comes to this whole magic thing. Thing is, he very much can't take how 'annoying' Couture is, he profusely says this in-game whenever talking with the heroine in Alec-sama's route and his own route. So I'm wondering how he could bear this bothersome tutoring. Emie-sama seems to be enjoying it very much, though.
What a pure smil she has.
Hey, I remember something. Didn't Allard-sensei say that he'll tell me the full details about my sudden collapse two days ago? He still hasn't informed me about anything. Speaking of Allard-sensei, I see him going towards my direction as of right now.
"Hello there, Collins. I must speak with you today, may we, for a moment?"
"Oh, is it about the occurrence that happened two days ago, Allard-sensei?"
"Indeed it is. So may we speak?"
"Yes, sir."
Allard-sensei excuses us for a moment. This sounds like a very cliché moment, doesn't it? There is probably gonna be a twist and some random new villain pops right out of nowhere! After that, we are required to venture into the depths of hell with special armor just to oppose this villain's tremendous power. Imagine that.
"Aiko Collins, I think you'll be very intrigued by your story."
"Oh?"
"Your sudden collapse was linked to blood loss. As you have acquired the abilities of wind magic, it was only natural that the process would include breezes of air, and it has varying different effects depending on the user's current physical strength and form. There is an uncommon occurrence that happens with wind users when they use compressed magic, that when used, flows inside your own body. When we checked your head's temperature, it had nearly reached below the zero degree. In your case, you had quickly fallen ill as your blood experienced what is commonly referred to as "bloodfreeze" that usually occurs when limerence(scientific name for falling in love) is present in the brain, causing the heart to freeze due sudden entering of an impulse of air, simultaneously. (Note that this only happens with wind users.) So in order to heat up the blood, we had to call in a fire user, specifically those new to the magic, because those usually have low heat levels as they are newbies. Fortunately, Emie Couture-sama was the first person who volunteered. The process involves putting two fingers inside the patient's mouth, and carefully directing it to the brain and heart, which was surprisingly done with ease."
"Is that so? Thank you for explaining it to me, teacher."
It was a rather interesting and lewd explanation, can be used to tease with, nonetheless. I wonder what Emie-sama's doing right now. I'll go back to the field, right now.
"Emie-sama"
"Hmm?"
"You were quite skilled when you put your hot, magical fingers in my mouth, I must say. Allard-sensei told me all about it, I was very interested and I, furthermore, wonder what other things you are able to do with those fingers of yo-"
"..CAN YOU NOT USE IT IN THAT CONTEXT?! THE MOMENT YOU COME BACK IS WHEN I GET FRUSTRATED, YET AGAIN!"
Teehee, I'm definitely going to get ear-pulled today.
"Eri-chan, I don't plan on seeing what your fingers can do, so no thank y-"
"achACHACHA-ERIKA-CHAN! OK, I'M SORRY, I'LL STOP!"
Why am I always experiencing pain?
