Chapter 7 - Negotiations

---Yuri POV---

{Are these people actually insane? Do they think I would let them do something like this?} Still facing the wall, she laughed silently. Still, with her Fox Ears, she could hear everything about the conversation between the guy called Karsten and the representatives. She thought that she could just nap in the meantime since last week was more of a forced sleep. But nope, the two brats of the human king had to annoy her. She just ignored them, and after some time, they left. Now she heard that these people wanted to ''share'' her at the academy. Well, I will play along a little bit. She heard that the deal was made and that Karsten was coming towards her. "Hey Yuri!" She cringed at the mention of her name. That such a disgusting person knew her name was awful. She didn't react to her Name being called. "I know that you are awake; I also know that you can talk and understand us. These people just bought you. That means that you are now their property. They can do whatever they like with you." Then he took the chain off the wall and gave it to the Human king. Then he took off her shackles so that she could walk. The human king pulled hard at the chain so that she stumbled forward. She didn't like that, but she stayed in her role. They walked her outside, talking to her, but she ignored them. Nothing they said went through her mind. Then the king gave the chain to a guard, who walked her to a carriage. The guard opened the door, pushed her inside, and locked the door from the outside. Yuri looked around. The carriage was soundproof, since she could only hear the people outside muffled. The inside of that carriage was big. Enough to let a Family of 10 comfortably inside. While she looked around, the chatter stopped, and the carriage was unlocked. She saw the human king, queen, and their sons entering the carriage. "Listen up, beast. We will transport you to an outpost near the Academy. In this outpost, we will change your restraining artifacts so that they are more hidden. After that, you will go to the Academy and study alongside other Humans, elves, and Dwarfs. If you disappoint any of the people who bought you, you will be executed. I will now remove that collar so that you can speak." He removed the collar, and Yuri instantly burst out into laughter. "HAHAHAHAAA. First of all, I'd like to see you try to execute me. That will probably be the funniest thing ever. Secondly, I will definitely not go to that Academy. Did it come to your senses that all of the students there would try to bully me or do anything else? I have no intention to go through that. And even if you force me to, I might just kill the students there." The king and his family were baffled. They never expected her to be like this. "Listen here, you little bitch! The only reason you are alive right now is that you're heading to the academy. We can say that you are at the will of all the Kings, Queens, heads of the army, and Beast experts there. This will solve the situation with racism and bullying. But you will go there. DID I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!" The king's face was now red. "First of all, if these assholes didn't capture me, I wouldn't even be here, and you would have no idea that I exist. Second, I will only go to the Academy if I can use my full power. That means that there are just active controls and no passive controls. I can't allow myself to be weakened by some random Noble. If this condition is met, I will go to the Academy." The king pondered for a few seconds. "Fine. We will do it your way." Satisfied with that answer, Yuri turned to the side and looked out of the window.

Two Days have passed since the carriages went towards the academy. Today, the outpost came into sight. It took us 30 minutes to arrive and go in there. Yuri was led into the basement by five Guards. The stairs were all musty, and they stank. Down in the basement, a room with a table long enough for a human was waiting. Yuri was led to the table and told to lay down with her belly first. After she did what they told her, the guards attached restraints to her limbs and tightened them. Then her collar was removed, and a doctor came in. "This will hurt the little girl. I'm going to cut your back open and insert an Artifact disc." Yuri braced herself for the pain, but as soon as the blade touched her back, she faded.

The big day came. Yuri has healed from the surgery and is now 5 kilometers away from the academy. She was calm. The new plate inside her back didn't hinder her movement and could only be activated by the 20 people that were involved in the auction, except for Karsten. And she already had a plan for how to remove that thing. While she was rehabilitating, she got to know the Nanobots that made the Sword and Combat suit better. She could order them to remove that plate! Sadly, this would take a lot of time. But she will do this. Now she had to concentrate and prepare herself for everything she might encounter at the academy.

"Students, we will get another Student today. This one is a little different but was picked and sent by the King's, Queen's, Heads of the Army, and Beast experts. Yuri, you can come in. She sighted. Wearing her combat suit in pitch black armor and clothing and having her Sword at her back, she entered. She could immediately hear the people inside chuckling. "Hello, my name is Yuri Strel. I'm a mythical white fox and the last one of my race." She said this with a bored expression and tone. In the last row, she could make out the two sons of the human king. "You probably wonder why she is here. She will be trained here and observed by the People who sent her here. Miss Strel, please take a seat next to Friedrich. There, in the last row." She pointed at the older one of the King's sons, and Yuri let out an inner sigh. {Let's see what this school is about.}
