I hate the teachers that puts me In this situation…. I was carried like a bag of grain by the wild woman who seems wanted to eat me, though that was my thought earlier. But instead… sigh… I hate the teachers….
"Come on then… don't be shy, I wont bite… hahahahaha…!" (Mirada)
Said the wild cat woman who sent me flying just now. It seems that she takes me to her chamber to had a spar with her. But rather than a spar, I felt like I was treated as a training dummy. Just what did I do to deserve this….!?
"Get up…! I know you still breathing…!" (Mirada)
I did as she told me and stood up and ready my stance. She once again came charging towards me like she did earlier and sent me flying once more. Uh, uhuhuhu… I felt pain all over my body…. This is madness…!
Backtrack just a bit earlier when we reached her chamber, she ask for a spar while I'm still cowering in a horrified manner, but since she lets me stay in her chamber if I accept her offer, I take it without thinking a second thought. I don't want to spent my time in the barracks! There were no privacy there what so ever! How can I do my nightly activities out in the open!? Its embarrassing! But I regret that decision now that I'm flying like a training dummy thanks to the wild cat woman…. Just how unlucky can I get….!?
"Hmmm… quite disappointing… I thought you at least gave me a sweat… turns out, you are nothing that I thought you would be…" (Mirada)
She said this while squatting near me who was laying flat on my back on the floor after sent flying for the fifth times.
"I'm a weak person, mam… thats all there is…"
How could I face a person that I don't had any informations off!? She was not a known character back in the game! Sure I beat Dort who was stronger than me, but thats because I take advantaged on his weakness. But comparing this wild cat woman and Dort, she was hundred times more powerful than that prick.
"Are you really master son…?" (Mirada)
"Master, who…? Who are you talking-…"
"Sigh… there I was thinking that I will give myself to Master's son… turns out you're a disappointment…" (Mirada)
I don't know who she refer to as her Master, but her remarks did scared my manhood. I get to my feet then glared to her. If she want me to be serious, I'll give her that!
"Hmm…? Now thats the look I wanted to see… hahhahah!" (Mirada)
She then went to her feet after seeing me in my serious mode. I will put everything I know on this fight. I will make her respect me!
"Her I come…!" (Mirada)
…..(half an hour after)
Fuck! I did everything and I only managed grazed her leather armor, while I was on the floor again with bruises all over my body.
"That was quite intense. You sure had spirits in you, boy…" (Mirada)
"Though I didn't even had the chance to landed my hit on you…"
She stand while looking down towards me. Man, she's really are a giant! If only she weren't a mad cat woman, I would ask her for a date…!
"Though my interest in you raises quite a bit since earlier." (Mirada)
"Heh… how much…?"
"Not much. Just barely pass the line. But as I promised earlier, you can stay in this chamber. There were unused bed right on the corner." (Mirada)
She pointed to the corner where there were a small bed. Welp, she honored her promised as just as she has-….
(takes off)
"!?"
The hell!? Did she just stripped herself in front of me!? Holy cow, those muscles are-… ahem!
"The hell are you doing, woman!?"
"Hmm? Whats wrong?" (Mirada)
"Whats wrong you ask!? I'll tell you whats wrong… how can you stripped in front of a man!? Had some decency, woman!"
She gave me a puzzled looked and continue to strip. My gosh, she showed me everything! Just what is she thinking by doing this…? Though I quite enjoyed the show, but thats not the point! My rod is starting to hardening after gazing her magnificent naked body that I want-….. Gahh!
"Whats this…? Are you getting hard after seeing my muscled body, boy…?" (Mirada)
"I-its not!"
She laugh while she enters the bathroom. Dammit! That was embarrassing… but still, she do had a magnificent body though…
Ignoring my erection, I quickly went to the bed where she threw my bag earlier. Now that I noticed it, her chambers seems more like a training gym. It had wide space where a small sparring area next to the bathroom, and on the far side where I am now, were the beds and some wardrobes. There were several broken training dummies next to the door entrance of the chamber. Did those training dummies became like that because of her monstrous strength? It shivers me that I almost become like them when sparred with that woman earlier.
After she finished bathing, which only takes about 10 minutes or less, she came out from the bathroom, with only a small towel that she uses to dry her hair. Seeing her exposed muscular body that still quite wet, my erection got activated again. She noticed my strange behavior, lets out a laugh as I dash towards the bathroom while holding my groin. Damn muscular beauty… because of her acts, I think I'm gonna take a while to 'shower' until my excitement subsides…
....(strange 'showers' noises)
In the evening just after pass 6, the students were called to the gathering hall next to the barracks. This facility was used by the Academy to gather the students for an announcement. Though if I remember back in the game, this night was one of the most important event to mingle with the potential target characters to raise their affinity with the character that you're using.
But looking at the situation…
"Sigh…."
Yup, I knew that this is gonna happen. Other than me, everyone here were having a good time talking with each others. I knew that Reed was hated, but didn't I at least did my best to change that view? But considering that I did somehow threaten almost all of the students in the first year when I got irritated after the duel with Dort, sigh….. Fuck this.
Ignoring the judging and scorn gazes from the other students, I slowly approached the entrance where the table was filled with food and drinks. To ease my irritation, I took a glass of juice and hid myself from viewed.
"Now, why did you hid yourself here while the others were having fun, young man…?"
An old man in cloak suddenly greets me from behind, But I recognized that voice. It seems that the the pres uses some kind of disguise, but he didn't bother to change his voice tone.
"Just what are you doing here in this shady attire, old man pres…? Aren't you supposed to be back in the Academy?"
"Tch! What gave me away?" (Alain)
"Its that annoying voice of yours… why bothered coming here with disguises on?"
"Ahem. My copy please…" (Alain)
Wha…? He did all of this just to ask me for the copy? The old man pres really wanted that thing badly, aren't him?
"Welp… I haven't made a copy-…"
"What!?" (Alain)
Fuck! Do you really need to shout like that? Thanks to his loud mouth, the other student noticed me talking to him. He got agitated and drag me outside.
After we were out from the rest, he started to speak.
"You promised me for that copy, didn't you!? Are you going back to your words…?" (Alain)
Sigh, this old man…
"You see, I cant just printed the copy like a printer."
"Print… what? What are you saying?" (Alain)
"What I meant is that I cant just conjured them from thin air, moron… do you think I'm some kind of god or something?"
"Wha…?" (Alain)
Opps… my mouth slip again and called him a moron. But consider thats the case, I might as well use this leverage I got from him to find Miss Crissy.
"You see… I heard from a certain someone that a loudmouth old man was bragging to her that he was promised a piece of the Tome from me. And that certain someone told me in rage that I was scammed by you."
Upon hearing my remarks, the pres drops a cold sweat from his brows. That hits the mark, didn't they?
"W-what and who do you-…." (Alain)
"And whats worse, that certain someone was enrage and slapped me a couple of times and didn't let me see Miss Crissy…"
His sweat became more intense as I continued my talk. But Trysia didn't slapped me because of that, she was angry towards Reed's actions involving Miss Crissy's pregnancy out of jealousy. But he didn't know about that. I just need to know if Miss Crissy is alright, considering that I didn't see her since I ran from the infirmary.
"S-she didn't say anything to you regarding about Miss Welyker's wellbeing? That woman…" (Alain)
"What now? Didn't I just tell you how she treated me yesterday?"
It seems that the pres knows that I'm speaking about Trysia.
"A-alright…! Miss Welyker is in our custody for now. W-we only did that to protect her from those might used her as a leverage to threaten your farther since she was carrying your child… I thought that woma…. Trysia had told you about this…." (Alain)
So, they did had something to do with Miss Crissy sudden disappearance…
"Is she alright, as we speak?"
"Yes. She's in a good care by one of our acquaintance, back in the capital city." (Alain)
He seems to be telling the truth. But alas….
"Then transfer her to the Forham estate in the royal capital. I already made some preparation for her protection. You guys don't need to get your meddling with her life, understood?"
"Alright. But the copy?" (Alain)
"I'll gave you after I write them down."
"Please do, as fast as you can…" (Alain)
Just why did he want to get his hands on that Tome that badly? Not long after, he vanished with his 'teleportation' spell. Welp, thats that… I should go back inside the gathering hall now as well, considering the briefing is about to begin.
The briefing was started with a speech from the student representative, the Prince of course. But hearing him was boring as hell. Though I don't get it why the rest of the students looked amazed by the Prince's speech. After he finished his long boring speech, the students cheers in booming sounds as the Prince gave the podium to the head teacher. Can they just kept the voice down a little? My ears about to burst….
"Proud students of the Academy…! It is within my honor to be selected as your counselor for this examination month…! I am Regor Torda…!"
Hmm… if I recall that man's character back In the game, he was the one in-charge for this examination, as well as a board member back in the Academy. Those dudes were in deep with the shadow group called the 'Adjudicator', or also known as Her Majesty secret agents. Back in the game, the 'Adjudicator' works like secret police in the darkness and deals with several assassinations to those whom was deem a danger to the Kingdom. Though they just appeared in the dialog cut scene, but their shadiness makes me felt uneasy about that group. I hope I don't met them in this life as Reed. That will be seriously bad…
Back to the head teach, he was a ferlien male who had a trait that of a wolf person. His ears were brown black along with his hair, and dude's had a fierce natural expression. Even in his mid 40's, he still had the looks of a young man who on his early 30's. He didn't had that much time screen back in the game if I recall it back, but this dude holds the lifeline of all the students that took part in this examination.
"I know that every students here already had their own respective groups that you all had formed since this morning after leaving the magic train terminal…." (Regor)
Here comes the event announcement. gosh! Why did I felt excited all of a sudden…?
"You students must had noticed that each and one of you had received a small blue emblem that had the number '0' on them…" (Regor)
Hearing about this, the students quickly takes out their mark collector from their pockets, though some of them didn't brought them here and didn't bother about them that much. Pff! I almost want to laugh on their ignorance….
"That small blue emblem will be the lifeline for your stay in this fort in this whole month!!" (Regor)
...….(silence….)
Yup, now those ignorant students that didn't bother about the emblem are dripping a cold sweat and gulping their spits. Stupidiot….
"Lose it, didn't had it with you the whole time, break…!? All of these will be consider an excuse and there will be punishments awaiting for students who didn't properly taken care of the Academy tools that was handed to you!" (Regor)
I noticed some of the students got anxious as they heard the head teach remarks. Thats what you get by playing around in the examination…
"The small blue emblem will act as your points collector for the works that you students do in this whole month of examination. The limit to pass to the next semester is above 50 points! Those who didn't get to past 50, will be expelled from the Academy and will never be allowed to step a foot inside it ever again in your life!" (Regor)
Yup. He said the same thing back in the game. It might sounds easy, but getting the points will required you to perform monsters subjugation, administration works, and lastly, your attendance for the whole month. But most of the students here were just ordinary students with no combat nor administrator experience. Though exclude the Prince and his entourages. They seems to be quite experience in this matter, and I had the feeling that this will be a smooth sailing for them.
"That is all…!" (Regor)
He step down from the podium and the night continue for the welcoming dinner, though the air seems pretty tense than earlier in the evening. Guess those merry students got their the taste of their own medicine, taking this easy like a trip rather than an examination.
....................................
I had to say, monsters meat is quite delicious…! This Orotg meat tasted like a high quality pork meat back on earth. And these crustaceans look alike insect type monster called Lotord, that looks like a giant centipede, taste like a high grade giant shrimp. Oh how I enjoyed this moment of bliss… I hope tha-…
"You seems to be enjoying yourself. Unlike the rest of us…" (Saraha)
Eugh… my food taste gone bland as soon as I heard her irritating voice. Saraha suddenly appeared behind me while the gloom looking Elise hanging behind her like a lifeless corpse…
"Wanting to get close to the member you forcefully ask to join your group?"
"Be thankful that we even consider letting you join us. Please don't be so haughty, Reed…" (Saraha)
"Yea, yea… and whats wrong with your girlfriend? She looks *dead."
Hearing my remarks, Elise twitch and glared towards me.
"W-why are you looking soo relaxed about this examination!? We will be expelled if we failed you know!? Huhuhu… I don't want to go back home because I got kicked from the Academy… mother will… ugh…." (Elise)
She really wanted to make her mother proud, aren't she? Welp, thats not my problem. But still, can we do this, with only the three of us? I remember that Saraha is a tanker role back in the game. But the problem is this one, Elise. She's a dead beat in the early game and quite useless other than her healing ability. I'm glad that we had a healer in our group, but its too unbalance… Fuck! I should train harder if I know that this will happened! Shitty luck makes me go through this troubles….
....................................…..
Early in the morning of the next day, all of the students were gathered by the courtyard in their respective group that they had formed yesterday. With each group had a teacher and an officer acts as the tutor and guard, its just the same back in the game. The students had their combat gears on them for the purpose of protection when encounter monsters inside the forest.
I had a leather armor and some small arms like daggers and small bow and arrows that I 'borrowed' from Mirada after she beats me up last night before sleep. Elise had her white robes that was given by the Academy and a staff in hand that she carries yesterday. Sahara on the other hand had a dark plated armor that covers almost all of her body, aside the helmet. Though she seems quite different with that braided bun hairstyle. She reminded me somewhat of that character female knight that turned evil in one of the anime that I've watched back on earth.
"Is it me, or our group seems to be left out by the teachers and officers….?" (Elise)
Now that she said that, our group was the only one that haven't been signed by any teacher nor officer, and its almost time to leave the fort as well. Did they somehow forgot about us?
"It seems that Reed's reputation makes us the most hated Group even amongst the teachers and officers… sigh…." (Saraha)
Why you…!? As if you are popular yourself! But still, aren't this too troublesome for our group? I should do something…
I noticed that the head teacher still in the vicinity with the other teachers and officers were discussing with each others on the small stage in the courtyard. I walk towards them with a calm manner. While walking towards the stage, I noticed some disdain gazes from the teachers overlooking to me from the stage where I'm heading to, but choose to ignored them.
"Excused me Ser Regor… May I have a word…?"
I said to the head teacher whom noticing my approaches just now. He slowly look towards me then said.
"Is there something you need, Ser Forham?" (Regor)
Man, he got a tensed stare on him! I knew that he looks scary from yesterday, but seeing him face to face feels more intense than I expected. Better not to get on his bad sides…
"There were no teachers nor officers was designated to our group and its almost time to start our first day for this examination."
Upon hearing my remarks, he direct his glare to the teachers behind him who seems to be sweating nervously for some reason.
"I see… it seems that some of the teachers were careless in their works now, aren't we?" (Regor)
He said those words with a cold tone while looking towards the nervously sweating teachers. So he don't know about this as well. Though I wanted to get back to the teachers that did this to our group just because they hated Reed, I have to let that thought pass for now. More urgent matter are need to be attended first.
"Please help our group, Ser Regor… if the teachers wont accompany us, at least let an officer to guard us while we venture into the forest. We need a person who knows the forest for us to complete our daily task…"
I begged to the head teacher while bowing my head while standing straight. Though I dislike Saraha and the annoying Elise, but I cant let my fault be the reason they get expelled from the academy. And I need to stay in the Academy to meet with my Ellusia on the next semester…! I cannot fail this examination, I just cant!
"I'll take care of their group, Mr Dog…!" (androgynous voice)
Wha…? Who's the idiot that said those rude remarks to Ser Regor!? But his voice tone makes me hard to pinpoint his identity, but the way he talks really rowdy. I quickly lift my head to see the idiot person who's not afraid of death.
Wait… isn't that….?
