Woah. I am really officially a student in this academy.
I walked through the entrance and i saw Sister Bela standing there like she was waiting for someone.
I approached her and ask who's she waiting for. "You're waiting for who?"
Her eyes are cold as always, i wanted to see her smile again just once this day though.
"Hmm i guess you're waiting for your lover huh.."
"What lover are you talking about? I was waiting for you."
I wanted to tease her more but I don't have any words to tease, but wow. Her attitude towards me change a bit.
I guess we're a bit closed right now, but still. Those eyes are really scary. I'm afraid she can create a fight with just those eyes.
"I'm here to tour you. So that you won't get lost. Also, i'll introduce you to some masters and professors."
"Okay okay."
She grabbed my arm and went through many professors and masters.
"Hello professor. This is my little brother, Caye Perrlington."
"Hello."
"Let's go to other."
.....
.....
.....
Oh God. She's pulling me like a ragdoll. The brain inside my head feels like positioned incorrectly.
"Hey, could you slow down a bit..?"
"No."
What do you mean no.. My body's slamming to every corner and such a obstacle.
"Hey! Just how many demons are chasing you.."
"We're here. Whoo."
Huh.
A big door with a poster attached on it, saying 'Do not enter or You'll DIE!!!'
Do they really need to highlight the DIE to make it more scarier? Like hell, if student still afraid at this stuff.
Such a childish.
"Let's go."
Hmm?
"Don't you know to read?!!"
She's crazy.
"No!! Don't open it!"
She literally opened the door. Just what is her deal.
What if there's a secret beast here? What if there's a crazy slavery here? What if there's a psychopathic alchemist who's experimenting people's body with its potion?!
"Ah Grandmaster. My little brother is here."
Eh? Grandmaster? Then why does the door have some crazy sign?
I moved my head to Bela's ear just to whisper all the craziness this school have.
Earlier, while i was pulled by Bela. I saw a flying ant. I was really shocked, even an ant can levitate or use magic?
There's even a guy with a unequal size of arm. I wonder what happened to him.
"Hey.. That tonsure old man is the grandmaster?"
"Shh!"
I mumbled it on Bela's ear. The Grandmaster has white hair, tonsure. His looks is like a old man who have sick. He's back is a lil bit hunchback.
He stand from he's sit and.. I know this may disrespectful but he is already a senile person. He walked doddery to us.
"I maybe look old and weak but i can recover my strength and resistance with a potion."
....
"So you're Caye. I saw your test papers, it's all correct."
Is that a compliment? No of course. Thanks to the book I've been reading, I've got a perfect score.
"How did you do that?"
I'm just gonna answer truly. If i said any make up answer, he might suspect me of cheating or else. Besides, there's nothing wrong in being a person who devoted himself in reading books for 12 years.
"I'm a bookworm..."
"Ho. I see, then that's good. Reading books is good. It brings knowledge, great reading comprehension and also a peace of mind."
Oh..
I think i've achieved all of that. It's not like i'm boasting but. My reading comprehension is great. I can understand quickly, get the point of something in story. Even if i read it so quickly. Same with my knowledge too. I got to know every important information, such as War history, bodies vital points, the cores and Magic spell.
Though, i don't like magic. I just don't know. Is it because i dedicated myself in swordsmanship?
I always feel like sword and magic are not meant to a single person. If you're dedicated to one, you have to ignore the one.
Ahh.. My logic is a bullsh*t. Yes, magic is awesome. You can create fire, water, earth, and the rest of the elements there.
But I just don't feel like, i like it.
"Good to meet you, Grandmaster. Yes, you're correct. Reading books can make you a better person."
"Yes."
"We'll heading now."
"See you, Grandmaster."
We made our way to the door and then the Grandmaster told me something.
"Yes, you're correct. Thus, reading books can brings danger too. So you have to be careful."
"Huh?"
I was dumbfounded, what does he mean it can bring danger too. As if a book can harm us or what.
"Okay, Grandmaster. Thank you for your advice."
We left.
I don't get it. How can a book be dangerous. It's not like you're reading a book of a dead.
Hmm?
Book of a dead? No way, no way...
Wait, what if it's really the reason? Are there any reason on why books can be dangerous?,
"...!"
As we're walking, something came up in my mind.
I gulp my saliva just thinking of it now. My body felt goosebumps too.
THE BOOK THAT I JUST READ TWO DAYS AGO.. IS IT A BOOK OF A DEAD?
THE REASON WHY I'M EXPERIENCING ABYSS, IS IT BECAUSE OF THAT BOOK...
No way. I'm overthinking some things.
I am just being cursed by someone, nothing else.
"Hey, this will be your classroom. I'm gonna leave you now."
"Okay. Thank you for guiding me."
And then she ran. Ha, just how many demons are chasing her?
Anyways, this is my classroom.
I open the door and saw almost 15 student, girls are more than us boys. Even the Professor is woman. Such a beautiful woman.
Her waist, legs and even her b**b is large. I think i got lucky. Just kidding.
"Ah, hello."
"Hmm?!"
"Wha.. What did i do? hehe.."
As she looked back at me. I unexpectedly gulp my saliva. Her eyes is so cold, even colder than Bela. She's like glaring everytime she gaze.
"What's your name?"
"I'm Caye Perrlington, second child of Marquess Freyast Perrlington of Pire Kingdom."
"So you're the second child of the Marquess huh? I thought it was only exaggerated."
Yeah, I was not known well. Only the people who work and live in the castle do.
"Hey, isn't he the one who yelled in the middle of the street because he's about to pass out?"
"Yeah, yeah. Haha, he's just walking and then suddenly lost his consciousness."
"I guess he have a weak resistance haha."
So it spread...
The almost all of the boys is murmuring, and i can hear what they're talking.
Passing out in the middle of street. Yelling because of fear that i am the only one who can see and feel it.
I guess they're thinking i'm a "weird person."
"Alright, enough for the chit chat. You there. Go to that empty seat."
She pointed at the empty seat in the back. It's a very corner seat and in my right side is the exit door.
While in the left side...
A girl...
Her right half face is covered by her right sidely hair, but i can see her eyes is pretty. Her nose is pointy too and her lips, is glossy red.
Beautiful teacher and beautiful classmates. I guess i won't get bored in class.
"So i'm professor Mary Lire. Your professor in this class obviously. So most of here is a prestigious student. You don't have to worry if you're not from a prestigious family. We'll give you or teach you the same treatment. Right now. I want you to introduce yourself, so that i can get to know your name."
Introduce yourself, but i just introduced myself a moment ago, and im assure they too.
....
....
They continues to introduced theirselves. And so my seatmates turn.
"Hello. I'm Kai Merlimiam, and i live in Merl Kingdom."
Do i still need to introduce again..
"Hi, i'm Caye.."
"That's okay, you're done."
Okay, that's a bit embarrassing...
"So now. Let's move to the topic. So our topic is about swordsmanship."
"...!"
I just got fired up a bit. Who wouldn't thought that the very first lesson to be study is about swordsmanship.
"So, i won't tell the story of its origin because it's too long"
Okay okay. Got it.
Professor Mary wrote and words in a verse, and it's more than 10 verses.
"These are the sword dances
of every different popular swordsman."
She then grabbed the eraser and slowly erase seven sword dance and spoke.
"But, we'll only talk the common ones."
The three sword dances left named
'THE HOLY KNIGHT SWORD DANCE'
'THE KING'S SWORD DANCE'
And
'THE PERRLINGTON SWORD DANCE'
...!!
