Arthur Leywin POV
Arriving at the door of the office, I knocked before a voice replied allowing me to enter.
As I entered the room, I saw the director making a tea from the corner of her office. She looked at me before gesturing me to sit on the sofa.
"Arthur it's good that you were here Please take a seat, the tea I'm making will be ready soon." The director said as he continue preparing the tea.
"I'm sure that the Director of this prestigious academy is not calling a student on his first day of school to have a tea right?" I asked as she chuckled. She bring the tea over and pour one for her and me to drink.
"I'm sure every Director of the academies will do the same if someone like you is the student. But don't worry I asked you to be here to discuss about something." The director responded after she sat on the sofa. "And it seems like Avier take a liking towards you, seeing him escorting you toward my office even though you know the way. It surprised me after seeing that scene, my aloof bond was escorting a student before flying away."
"Yeah, I'm also surprised to see a wyvern as your bond." I replied as I saw her eyes widen.
"H-how did you know?" She asked shocked.
"He just have too much mana to be a simple owl. And my father's ex-party also said that wyvern can change their forms, and speak, and I confirmed by asking your bond earlier." I said lightly, as she looked at me shocked before nodding. "Anyway. Why did you call me here?"
She examined me for a while before asking a question."Arthur what do you think if I ask you to become an interim professor for your Practical mana manipulation class?"
"Your kidding right? Asking a first-year student to be an interim professor. You must be kidding right?" I asked.
"Apparently no. I'm serious about asking you to be a professor of your class. And don't worry you will only teach the class you were attending to not messed up your schedule." The Director explained. "And besides I'm not forcing you to do it, I'm only asking you if you want do it. And isn't it good rather than listening to class you already know?"
"Wouldn't the others complain?" I asked.
"Yes. Parents are bound to complain, but my school my rules. Arthur remember, I'm not doing this for my own good, I'm doing this to benefit the two of us. If you become a professor you only need to teach the class a few, and you will be rewarded by money and respect from the other students. While I can stop you from conquering my professors." She replied.
"Fine!" I said, and signed the contract and left.
Cynthia Goodsky POV
After the boy left, I let out a sigh. I feel some movements beside me. Turning my head I saw my bond landed near me.
"What do you think of that boy Avier?" I asked my bond, and he looked at me before responding.
"Cynthia, no matter what, you should show some respect towards him, his family and that Noah Wilson." Avier replied which shocked me.
"Why?" I asked confusedly.
"I'm sorry Cynthia but I can't tell what I meant about that. But remember my advice and show some respect to them." Avier said and I nodded. "But I think it's okay if I tell you a little"
"What is it?" I asked.
"Mr. Arthur's bond true form is that of a dragon." Avier said respectfully.
"W-What?! A dragon? How did you know it though?"
"Although wyvern is a lesser species. We are still descendants of the dragons. And You hear me right Cynthia. She is a dragon, but she currently have the strength to take down 2 Lances." Avier said.
"So you're saying that a dragon is bonded with a human, that only had a light-yellow Stage?" I asked.
"Is he really in a light-yellow?" My bond asked.
"What do you mean Avier?" I inquired.
"He's not a light-yellow stage. He was only using a concealer to look like a light-yellow stage. It will be an insult to someone like him if he was only at the light-yellow stage at his age. I'm sure he's at the White core along with that Noah." My bond said.
A white core at their age? That's Impossible unlike they were like them.
"You mean Noah the member of the DC?" I asked for confirmation.
"Yes. He's also someone you should show some respect. I only met him for a few times before, and knowing him he most likely knew your identity by now." He said, and it scared me.
Will he kill me? If Avier is telling the truth, I couldn't defend myself If a white core like him attacked me.
"If your thinking if he will kill you. I'm sure he wouldn't, Noah is someone who think and assessed something before making a move. And I'm sure he think of you as an ally, because if he think of you as an enemy you would have been dead by now."my bond said as I sighed in relief.
"But what do you mean by someone like him?" I asked.
"He's not a human Cynthia, along with his family." My bond replied, and my eyes widen.
"W-what do you mean by they weren't human?" I asked confused.
"As I said earlier I can't say it because the child may hear us. But I will tell you through our bond." He replied as I nodded, He then told me his identity, and my eyes widen.
"What are they doing in here?" I asked.
"I think I have an idea why. My elder told me a while ago that something happened thirteen-years ago." My bond replied.
"What happened?" I inquired.
"I will tell you in our bond just to be safe." My bond said as he began telling me what happened.
We were interrupted by a portal opened in font of us and some people walked out from it.
Arthur Leywin POV
After I left the office. I knew I spent to so much Time inside and my class were already finished. And now lunch time.
'Sylv, care to explain what Emily said earlier?' I asked Sylvie as she tried to jump away attempting to leave.
"Kyu!" ' I didn't do something wrong papa!' Sylvie replied.
'Then why did she said your stealing some food from the cafeteria?' I asked.
"KYU!" ' It's s not stealing if they gave it to me freely!' Sylvie retorted.
As I interrogated Sylvie, and make my way to the cafeteria to meet my sister and friends. As I make my way I meet Ellie, Caera and Noah along the way.
"So how's your class Ellie?" I asked my sister.
"Not bad. Although it's a little bit boring, since I already knew it from father." My sister replied as she let out a sigh. "What about you brother? I heard that the captain of the DC, toyed the professor during their duel."
"Yeah. That was also the topic in my class." Caera added.
"The professor is a pervert, so I taught him some lessons. And it's not like I played with him that bad. I just avoided his attacked and casted an illusion spell that screw him up." I explained.
"I also heard it Arthur. So what happened am I right about my prediction? Should I call you professor Leywin by now?" Noah teased as they chuckled.
"Your a good fortune teller Noah you should be one in the future. I do became one I will teach that class where I defeated the professor." I said as they looked at me shocked.
"Bro. I'm only joking to think it was true." Noah laughed.
I then conjured a sound barrier so only us could hear what we're about to talk.
"Noah, do you know? Sylvie here is stealing foods from the cafeteria." I said pointing at Sylvie on the top of my head.
"I didn't steal! If they gave it to me freely it wasn't called stealing!" Sylvie retorted, Noah laughed at this.
Since I and Noah didn't need money. Some of the beast core we got was given to Sylvie. And Sylvie breakthrough and can now speak like Avier.
"So what did you do for them to give you free food?" Caera asked.
"Nothing. I just finding some foods and found myself at the kitchen. The kitchen staff saw me looking at the meet. And they gave me some." Sylvie replied, and we looked at her suspiciously.
"Where's Elijah anyway?" I asked.
"I think he's already at the cafeteria." Ellie replied.
"Let's go I'm hungry I don't know about you guys though." Caera said, as she take the lead and we make our way to the cafeteria.
I'm not hungry and I'm sure Ellie and Noah were the same, but it's not bad to eat something.
As we arrived the cafeteria, we get our food and find a table to sit. When Elijah called us showing where he was waiting for us.
Arriving at his place, I noticed that he wasn't by himself and he had a girl sitting beside him.
We took our seats, and place our food in the table. Noah and I were beside each other since we're sharing our food to Sylvie. Ellie was on my other side with caera beside her, and Elijah and the girl he brought is on the opposite side.
"Guys I want you to meet Charlotte. Charlotte this is my friends; Arthur, Noah, Caera, and Eleanor." Elijah introduced us. " I meet Charlotte during my chain-casting class she was really good!"
"Aw. Please, your making me blush." Charlotte said coquettishly.
"Aww... What a cute mana beast. Do you mind if I pet it?" Charlotte said leaning closer toward us.
Noah stopped her and gripped her arm.
"I'm sorry but she doesn't like strangers." Noah said, as Charlotte blushed.
I and the others grew annoyed at the flirting attempts from Charlotte, and even more annoyed at the fact that Elijah was clueless about it all.
"How's your day Elijah?" I asked not giving attention to the girl.
"Much better without you." Elijah replied. " I heard about it Art. They say you toyed a professor during your class."
"About that... I become the professor about that class." I said as Elijah spluttered the food he was chewing on Charlotte.
"Ewww. Elijah that's gross!" Charlotte said, as all of us but Elijah resisted the urge to laugh.
"Sorry, sorry…what? You're going to be a professor?" He wiped his mouth before trying to wipe Charlotte's face, but Charlotte rejected the offer.
"Mm… I ended up replacing the professor that was teaching the class. So you may now call me Professor Leywin." I smirked at my friend.
"Professor, my ass. But maybe I should ditch my class sometime and go to yours. It'd be interesting to see you teach," he retorted.
"Oh yeah! Charlotte and I were going to go to Downtown Academy to do some shopping. Do any of you want to join us?" he asked nonchalantly.
"Yes! Noah, Arthur, you should join us." She leaned in closer again. There was a small strip on the corner of the academy where fancy restaurants and cafes, along with shopping booths were located for the rich nobles to spoil themselves. With that, you could imagine how enormous the academy was.
"We have upper-classes remember?" Ellie said, as Elijah nodded in realization.
"Little girl no one is asking you anyway. While we go to shopping you can attend that class of yours along with your friend. While me, your brother and his friend go to shopping." Charlotte said trying to sound nice but we can hear a hint of annoyance In her voice.
Elijah seems like he also heard the hint of annoyance from Charlotte's voice. And he was shocked about it.
"What do you think your doing?" I asked annoyed.
"Oh nothing. I'm just saying that she can attend the upper class with her friend, and we can go to shopping, just the four of us. If that can't reassure you we can ask Elijah to stay with your sister so the three of us can do shopping." She said in a kind voice.
"And who said we will go with you?" Noah asked looking at her like she's a fool.
"Isn't it a given? handsome boys like you should go out with beautiful girl like me!" Charlotte said proudly.
Noah laughed loudly After hearing this. We also couldn't hold it anymore and laughed at this.
"You? Pretty? Where? Are you raised by snarlers by any chance?" Caera asked as we all laughed.
The students in the cafeteria looked at us weirdly. Before some students who overheard our conversation tell them what's going on. and they all laughed after hearing it.
"Don't be like that Caera. Maybe no one teach her the concept of beauty. Or the snarlers didn't teach her." Ellie said while laughing.
"Ellie don't be like that. Mother said that we should treat everyone kindly. Even if they looked like snarlers or raised by them." I said, As the whole cafeteria laughed.
"You! You should be thankful that someone like me invited you." Charlotte said annoyed.
"Someone like you? What about you?" A voice said coming from the door rang.
Turning our head we saw a boy, standing over five feet tall, looked to be about same age as my sister, took a step toward us. He had a nut-brown eye, he was skinny but not sickly so, with a cleanly shaved head, with a nice, toned body that didn't match his childish face.
"Who are you little boy?" Charlotte asked, I can see the boy looked at her annoyed before he continue to walk toward us.
"Good to see you again! Noah!" The boy greeted Noah.
"Yeah! I didn't expect to see you here Taci."
