"Is this what the social media is about, Zerox. Judging people without even knowing them."
Arthur was looking at the picture of Ryujin and his friends having barbeque. He was happy to see his students get along. However,his mood took a turn when he read the bad comments about Ryujin.
"Looks like they underestimate him because he is a commoner. They probably even don't realize that some of them could actually be saved by him." Zerox also was a commoner. He also was angry reading those comments.
Ryujin was involved in many incident and helped many people. He never took credit for it. Still people never respected him because of his commoner roots.
As both Zerox and Arthur were talking inside their office,they heard a knock on the door.
"Knock!Knock!"
Zerox opened the door and behind the door was Arlo.
He entered the room and greeted Arthur and Zerox.
"Good morning headmaster and Zerox."
"It is quite unusual for you to come to my office on your own accord."
Arthur said in a sarcastic tone. Arlo never came to Arthur's office unless he was called.
"I want Ryujin as my personal student."
Arlo had a staright face while saying that.
Arthur looked at Zerox but Zerox just shook his head.
'What is this guy thinking now?'
Arthur put his hand on his forehead.
"You realize that if you make Ryujin your disciple than the whole world might consider him as your successor."
Arlo was called the hero among heroes as he was the one to kill the demon king. If he suddenly chose a disciple than the whole world would consider Ryujin as a noble.
Arlo also had seen some of the comments on the interent on Ryujin and he hated it. He wanted to help Ryujin.
"Arlo! I know you are worried about him but I cannot allow it. First of all:Ryujin wouldn't comply with it. It is best for us to lay low for now."
Arlo was annoyed by that answer.
"Headmaster! A kid like him receiving such hate can have negative effect on their mental health."
"I know where you are coming from. I also am worried about him but we have to realize that he is just not your normal kid. As far as I know him, he probably doesn't even care."
"Ok then. Thank you for giving me your time."
Arlo walked out of the room immediately. He still had the desire to help Ryujin.
'Looks like it will take me long time to repay your favour.'
Arthur and Zerox looked at each other. Zerox was the first one to say something.
"Does he want to train Ryujin because of his Divine Ability?"
"I don't think that's the case but it looked as if he wanted to help Ryujin out of kidness not pity."
Arthur looked outisde his window and saw Ryujin heading towards his class.
'Why do good people always get the short end of the stick?'
******
Ryujin had finished his practical classes.
'Why was Arlo paying attention to me today more than any other day?'
Arlo would usually help Ryujin a bit more than any other students. Other students didn't complain as he helped Ryujin train his Divine Ability. Of course, Ryujin was faking his powers.
The way Arlo trained Ryujin was simple. Arlo would often attack Ryujin with a C-rank attack and Ryujin had to erase it. The students were also shocked to see Ryujin erase a C-rank ability without any effort.
Ryujin could easily erase anything but infront of others he had to act as if he had to charge his Divine Ability to erase anything.
Today Arlo especially helped Ryujin in his magic training. He didn't even look at other students properly.
'Don't tell me he has figured it out? There's no way.It has been almost 8 years since that incident.'
Ryujin would usually go to work after his classes was over but today he decided to go to library. He had to do some homework and he needed some books for it.
Ryujin entered the library. He looked around and saw Paul and George. Both of them were concentrated on their work so he decided not to greet them.
Ryujin got his books and sat on the corner of the library. As Ryujin was about to do his assignement, he noticed somone on his side crying. He could hear muffling as the person was trying to cover their tears.
He was going to ignore it but the person accidentally looked at Ryujin while wiping tears.
The girl had green hair and was wearing glasses. He was quite short but her bossoms were stacked...in a good way.
"I a-am sorry I di-disturbed you."
Ryujin didn't reply. He just took out a box of tissues from his bag and gave it to that girl.
The girl took the tissues and wiped her tears and snot as well.
"Th-Thank you for the tissues. You must think I am weird for crying in the library."
"Its fine. Eveybody had a breakdown. Theres on shame in it." Ryujin replied to her in a calm voice.
"Waaahhh! I tried so hard but I couldn't finish it. My scholarship might be taken now."
Ryujin didn't know what to do . He sneakily used his Rune Magic to cast a sound bartier because she was crying so hard.
After few minutes she stopped crying. She wiped her tears and stopped crying. She looked at Ryujin.
"You are Ryujin right!"
Ryujin nodded. Everybody knew who Ryujin was. If there was a list for Top 10 famous people in the world Ryujin would be in it. His Divine Ability was that special.
"Thank you for putting up with my wailing."
"It's ok. Can I ask you why are you going to lose your scholarship? You don't need to tell me if you fell uncomfortable."
"My test is here soon. If I fail the test than my scholarship will be taken away and there will be no way I can afford to study in this academy."
Ryujin looked at her unifrom closely and realized that she was from Production class. Many students in this class were commoners. Though the fee is quite low compared to warrior class, still a scholarship can make a big difference.
" What subject do you have atrouble in ?"
"Enchanting"
Either it was a pure coincidence or a play from destiny. Nobody in this world was better at enchnating than Ryujin.
"If you don't mind can I help you? I actually have a ability on enchanting."
The girl was surprised that Ryujin lended a hand to help her.
"But, I don't have any thing to offer." The girl couldn't give anything in return to Ryujin.
"Then can you do my assignment for me?" Ryujin asked the girl.
"If I can then I will gladly help you." The girl was ready to do anything... well not anything.
Ryujin then taught the girl for two hours staright. The girl on the other hand started to undestand every concept she had a hard time understanding.
After two hours Ryujin finished teaching her.
The girl bowed her head.
"Thank you soo much. I undestood every concept perfectly."
"Its fine."
"Now it is my turn to help you. What do you want me to do?"
Ryujin showed him his assignements and the girl said that she could finish it within 30 minutes.
Ryujin shamelessly passed his assginemnt onto the girl.
'There is no shame in it. I even helped her.'
Ryujin stood up from his seat.
"I have to go now."
"Oh! Okay I will send you your assignments on your email."
"Thanks"
As Ryujin was going to walk away, the girl grabbed his shirt and talked in a shy voice.
"Can you help me any other day as well and I can help you with your assignemnts?"
'Please accept it! Without you I might not pass any tests.'
"Ok."
The girl had a bright smile on her face. She was happy that somone went out of her way to help her.
On the other hand Ryujin had other thoughts.
'Hehehe! I found a lab rat to do my assignement.This girl looks talented. I might even get A+ for my theory class.Ohh- I didn't even ask her name.
"I didn't even ask you your name. Myself, Ryujin and I am majoring in Warrior class as in first year in S-class."
Ryujin reached out his hand for a hand shake. The girl shook his hand and answered with a smile on her face.
"I am Clara. I am majoring in Production class as first year in S-class."
'Same class as George and Paul.'
Ryujin disbled the sound barrier and walked away
As he was walking,he sensed heavy blood lust.
He turned back but the presence was gone.
'Who gets this angry while studying at the library?'
The person behind the aura was Ciel. Her eyes were slowly turning bright red. She immediately got out of the library.
She was in the library,since Ryujin had entered and she saw everything...literally.
She rushed towards her dorm. Seeing Ryujin and Clara together made her blood boil.
She wanted to kill Clara at that moment but she knew she was in the wrong.
'They just talked nothing else. but why did they need a sound barrier? He easily shook a hand with a girl he just knew and I can't even- '
Ciel got inside her dorm. She immediately locked her door. She went to her bedroom and from under there,she took out a box. The box was chanted with ice magic.
Her hands were shaking as she was trying to open the box.She was hesitating to open the box.
'Just one time and I won't do it.'
She opened the box and inside the box was blood bag . She started drinking the blood. Her fangs grew as she drank the blood. Her skin became paler and her nails started to grow. Her blue eyes turned fully red.
Ciel was a vampire.
