Note : Still Ongoing to the build up sensitivity , it can't be explicit yet sooner or later IT might. Think of it like Mild Ecchi or mid-ecchi FOR not FANSERVICE yet good reason.
Then next week came as they are rest assured the teachers gave them a penalty and Matchel can finally switch mentors , moreover they are just being idle in their dorm house under the condense weather (unique fantasy weather mixing rain and snow) before Red Rose after being given Combat training of Tim ask some privacy in his bedroom while Nova let his own Junior Snow White in another room that he and Tim are grateful the twin girls inform them of such to help Matchel yesterday
In Nova's room, after their usual training routine, Nova shared the good news with Snow White about what he and Tim had achieved for Lirael, including lifting the curse that had been plaguing her. Snow White listened with admiration for her mentor, grateful for the kindness they were extending to their fellow students.
Meanwhile, in Tim's room, he and Red Rose engaged in a different conversation. Tim noticed Red Rose addressing him with honorifics like "sir" or "senpai," and he felt it was a bit formal for their situation. They were both students, and there wasn't a significant age difference between them. With a warm smile, Tim leaned back on his bed and patted the space next to him.
"You know, Red Rose, you don't have to be so formal with me," he said, inviting her to sit beside him. "We're both students here, and I'm just a senior. We're practically the same age. So, feel free to relax and chat with me casually."
Red Rose hesitated for a moment, her cheeks turning slightly pink with embarrassment. Then, she gave a shy smile and joined Tim on the bed. "Thank you, Tim-senpai. It's just that you and Nova-senpai are both so impressive. I sometimes forget that you're still students too."
Tim chuckled warmly, appreciating her honesty. "I get that we might seem that way, but we're here to learn and grow, just like you and Snow White. If you ever want to talk or have questions about anything, don't hesitate to ask. We're all part of the same academy family, after all."
Red Rose's smile widened, and she nodded. "Thank you, Tim-senpai. I'll keep that in mind. It's nice to know that you and Nova-senpai are approachable."
Tim felt a sense of camaraderie with his junior, knowing that they could support each other in their shared journey at the academy.
Before Red Rose fiddles with her fingers and fix her fine curly hair "well erm , we're aware of what you and Nova did when you resolve that issue with well…those other upperclassmen.." Tim shush her kindly that made her heart charm but this rare side as she was told he is timid and shy especially to girls before Tim spoke "sorry to interrupt her I think I realize it's all my fault…if only I didn't had a personal duel with Sir Reynard last week I could have atleast know deep down , Matchel and Lirael won't get targeted so they BITE back at me.." with a sad gaze before Red Rose caress his face "Tim Senpai , erm I mean Tim….It's really not your fault , sure you upset those beast yet..those particular beast folks deserve it" Tim Pat her head "I see it's not you dislike Bestialkin , it's just those guys are the true culprits than me right?" His voice is gentle and soft as she nodded "still I explain I am from a family of Aristrocrats and a local of this Kingdom (Indigo one) yet particularly in the future it's a tradition I either find a partner or my family set me up with another nobles so.." Tim notice "so you worried your set up partner is as a bad as sir Reynard?"
Tim's compassion and understanding warmed Red Rose's heart. She appreciated his kindness and gentleness, something she had heard was unusual for him, given his timid nature. As she listened to his words, she couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort in his presence.
When he patted her head and reassured her that it wasn't her dislike of Bestialkin but rather the behavior of those particular individuals that was the issue, she smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Tim. You're right. It's not about their race; it's about their actions. And yes, I worry that my future partner might turn out to be like Sir Reynard."
Tim nodded in understanding. "I can see why that would concern you. But you know, not all aristocrats are the same. You might find someone who is kind, understanding, and respectful of your feelings. Just remember that you have the right to choose your own path, even if traditions and family expectations exist."
Red Rose looked at Tim with a newfound sense of hope. "You're right, Tim. I shouldn't let the actions of a few cloud my judgment about others. Thank you for your support and for being so understanding."
Tim smiled warmly. "Anytime, Red Rose. We're all here to support each other, no matter our backgrounds or circumstances. And remember, you're a talented and strong student. Don't let anyone make you doubt your worth."
Red Rose's smile grew brighter, and she felt grateful for this unexpected heart-to-heart conversation with Tim. It was moments like these that made their academy journey even more special.
Red Rose blush and look away since Tim is so BUBBLY and preciously attractive (different level of charisma than Nova that even Tim himself can't notice) , Red Rose explains the point "you are soon going to a tournament as well after mentoring me for 2 years right? And I heard from the Academy when your graduate if you surpass both the Tournament and Unison Arena…You can get rank up to change your class as a fellow noble so…I meant was..could we eem." Her face is red as Tim hugs her but he knew deep down he can't take the confession (or even told her his true goal was to become a faction knight , not a noble civilian or to marry or romantically seek her) he spoke to not break her heart "soon , let's talk about it in the future okay?" Red rose cries with joy and nodded "I will and work hard to just reach your strength!!!"
Tim's gentle and kind-hearted nature truly touched Red Rose's heart. She had never met someone so considerate and understanding, and the way he hugged her filled her with a warmth she had never experienced before.
With her face still flushed, she nodded through her tears of happiness. "I'll work hard, Tim Senpai, and I promise I won't disappoint you."
Tim smiled warmly. "I have no doubt that you'll become an incredible fighter and achieve great things. Just remember, it's not just about strength, but also about heart and determination. You've got plenty of those qualities."
As they continued their heartfelt conversation, Red Rose couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration and respect for Tim. She knew that she had found a true friend and mentor in him, and she was determined to make the most of this opportunity to learn and grow under his guidance.
Meanwhile Snow White spoke why Nova didn't plan on well besides his goal as a swordsman in one of their talks to mentor-apprentice , the man sighs (can't tell her why) "I just am currently enjoying my time as a single person..I am open with any lady yet I can't do that as I am pre-occupied right now"
Snow White looked at Nova with a curious expression. "Preoccupied with what, Senpai?"
Nova smiled softly. "Well, it's not just about my training and goals as a swordsman. There's something else in my life that I need to figure out first before I can fully commit to anything else. But don't worry, Snow White, it's not something bad. It's just a personal journey I need to take."
Snow White nodded, her curiosity satisfied for the moment. She trusted her mentor's judgment and knew that he had his reasons for everything he did. "I understand, Senpai. I hope everything works out for you."
Nova patted her head affectionately. "Thank you, Snow White. I appreciate your understanding."
As they continued to chat and enjoy each other's company, Nova couldn't help but reflect on his own complicated situation. He was determined to uncover the mysteries of his past and find his place in both the modern and fantasy worlds, but it was a journey that he had to undertake alone for now.
As time pass the twin girls thanks their mentors as they are excited for another day to be trained under them after their magic classes of half the day (while the boys wave farewell , they both look at eachother and admit they found good apprentices that they get along with to learn the styles they pass down)
Tim and Nova waved farewell to their junior apprentices, Red Rose and Snow White, as they left for their magic classes. The boys couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and responsibility as mentors. They were determined to guide their apprentices to become skilled and confident individuals in both combat and magic.
As they watched the girls disappear into the distance, Nova turned to Tim and said, "We've got quite a journey ahead of us, Tim, not just in our training but in helping these young apprentices grow. But I believe in us, and I believe in them."
Tim nodded in agreement. "You're right, Nova. We'll do our best to be the mentors they need and help them reach their full potential."
With renewed determination, the two elite combatants headed back to their dorm house, ready to continue their own training and face whatever challenges lay ahead. They knew that their paths were intertwined with those of their apprentices, and they were determined to walk that path together.
However , during the next day the boys idly felt awkward and quiet when there's snow rain in the backround (Condense weather term of mixing snow and rain). They patiently thought maybe their juniors may take awhile before they heard a knock from the door and it's Matchel , they ask what is she doing her during such a weather in their dorm house (she is wearing a winter cloak) "anyways , I think I know a bit as I noticed you are the mentors of my dorm mate friends Snow White and Rose Red) the twins under the boys
Tim and Nova were surprised to see Matchel standing at their door, especially given the challenging weather outside. They welcomed her inside, making sure she was warm and comfortable.
Matchel nodded, her expression a mix of determination and concern. "Yes, I know you're the mentors of Snow White and Rose Red. They told me about what you did to help Lirael and me. I... I wanted to thank you both for your help and for looking out for my friends."
Tim and Nova exchanged glances, appreciating Matchel's gratitude. Nova spoke, "We're here to help, Matchel. It's not just our duty as mentors but also our responsibility to ensure the well-being of our fellow students. Please, have a seat, and if there's anything more you'd like to share or discuss, we're all ears."
Matchel took a seat, her eyes darting between the two senior students. She had something important to discuss, something she had kept hidden until now.
She confess the reasons their Juniors aren't around due she suspect they were targeted next after the ranks of both Vixen and Reynard since that report for her mentor transfer , yet she just took a peek by chance yet is afraid to face them since she is not under either of them anymore [they got worried , as they told her she said enough and ask her to stay safe in their dorm house and lock it as Nova rush not wearing a winter cloak as he rush amongst the strong snow rain and Tim rushed by the corridors to try to force the doors of Vixen and Reynard's dorm-house] As he shouted as he finally broke the door open as he carry his special dual-shields that he has got accustom to carry compare to time in Amerite and accuse to Vixen and Reynard where is his and Nova's Juniors but they acted well there isn't anything up (as he can't find them or any compartment of a secret room) also due to the incense yet he secretly use a talisman paper with his other hand to summon Ptsi and look for the Juniors as he converse with the two to distract the Bestialkin foxes "so , you really never seen them earlier today?"
Vixen and Reynard looked rather unfazed by Tim's accusations. Vixen simply sipped her wine, her eyes half-lidded, while Reynard leaned back in his chair, a smirk playing on his lips.
Reynard spoke in a mocking tone, "Oh, you know how it is, Timotheus Richmond. Students come and go, and sometimes they just vanish into thin air. Perhaps they're off on"
Tim glared as he felt his summon vanish back to the talisman and vanish , he then turn to raise one his dual-shield (that was dubbed base on its mythos was Skullcrest Aegis) saying "DON'T you dare fool me , tell me where Rose Red and Snow White are!!!" before he followed them especially Vixen swaying her foxy tail in sync with Reynard , their face has a grimace as they enter the secret compartment or cornered before witnessing the shared bedroom chamber of the bestial king as they realize both the juniors of his and Nova's are tied up and their mouth knotted some cloth to shut their mouth as they murmured and they casually warn Tim the commoner never be so braved or well they just casually cast a stun Glyph to prevent Tim to move more as Reynard proclaim "out of Bestialkins , Vulpes are swift and plus in here especially the capital Kingdom out of the 7 , Chorite (Indigo) as It is my right no me and Vixen's right aa higher tier beastlen of tribe can match Archaican (human) nobles as such MUST punish and can overpower lower tier people like you all!!" As they remove the cloths covering the mouth of Red Rose and Snow White screaming and begging them to stop as Tim is struggling to move his dual shields because of the Stun Glyph cast onto him (which he felt familiar , he had two flashbacks , one is the time he got stunned not by a glyph , but a mysterious force of his soul got stunned when Dorothy was taken away as he was forced to stare…second flashback was the time during his picnic with Nova and their female Juniors about his friends Opnion on the Sacred Context in general and moral compass]
Tim felt a mix of anger and desperation as he watched his juniors tied up and struggling. The stun glyph prevented him from moving effectively, and he could see the fear in the eyes of Rose Red and Snow White. He remembered the promise he made to Nova to protect them, and he couldn't let them down.
His mind raced as he desperately searched for a way out of this situation. He knew he couldn't take on both Vixen and Reynard alone, and he needed to free his juniors. As he thought, he muttered to himself, "Think, Tim, think. There has to be a way."
Meanwhile, Nova, unaware of the current situation, was still making his way through the snow rain toward the dorm house. He couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had gripped him when he heard about the disappearance of their juniors.
Then Tim finally felt something that Nova told him when Nova got his first mana sight when they were still juniors , he mentioned since he can see AURAS , different how usual magic users can just sense it or need apparatuse to see mana or auras of color and shape (for Nova he told Tim thanks to his secret mana he can even see the orbl-ike core of his SOUL , even a self image potential..maybe since he can cast blesssing and curses that surpasses even their teachers or people of the temple..despite being magicless he still has mana in him like a shell) before he finally broke the glyph with his own will despite being magicless and use one of the spiky ends of his shield to chop of Vixen's left arm that got her bleeding in pain to stop whatever they are doing to the girls that at halfway being inappropriately abused , then. Reynard swiftly dodge it as Tim knelt down breathing and spitting blood for exerting himself to resist such a strong glyph , Reynard was impress while Vixen she begs for help her when she was ignored used one of the ropes that tied the girls and to her own arm to slow down the bleeding before murmuring her own healing magic chant and finished , while Reynard (end dialogue here for now for Reynard's moment to stop the actions on the girls unharmed and look around for his weapon)
As Tim's vision blurred from the exertion of breaking the stun glyph, he managed to free his juniors from their binds. His heart raced with a mix of anger and relief as he saw Vixen's arm injured, but he knew he had to act quickly to ensure their safety.
Meanwhile, Reynard was momentarily taken aback by Tim's unexpected display of strength. He watched as Vixen used her own magic to stop the bleeding, impressed by her resourcefulness. He couldn't help but feel a sense of unease and uncertainty as he looked around for his weapon, realizing that things had taken an unexpected turn.
In the midst of it all, Nova was getting closer to the dorm house, a sense of foreboding growing within him as he quickened his pace through the snow rain. He had no idea of the perilous situation that had unfolded, but he knew he needed to reach his friend and their juniors as soon as possible.
Reynard commend Tim's strength that he may have under-estimate him last time they had a duel and comment Nova's Neo-heim style doesn't suit him , but it actually did and despite being magicless he grew stronger compare last time they we both juniors as he finally found his SIGNATURE weapon whip (the real deal) with special vine-like spikes and prepares to call out with a smile "yet exceptions are made since YOU DID harm and broke the limb of my companion.." Vixen fox ears down and shudders as she watch in shock , Tim still woozy , eyes in pain with his entire body like internally bleeding as he is stuck kneeling down to use his dual shields as canes , it was this close until NOVA comes in a clutch with an aura multicolored clash with his personal (signature) sword to parry or bounce away Reynard's dark mana boosted aura (atleast to Nova's POV) as Tim can hear the leaking melted snow and water nearby with a smile "Nova…just..in time.." he utters before Nova lended some splash healing potion that atleast treat his internal bleeding , not His eyesight that's his physical vision to handle while Nova sighs in relief as he shake his head from the dripping melted snow and rain from his journey "here , I finally figured it out..anyways.." he got confused when Reynard recoiled his whip and is a miracle to meet Nova face-to-face despite the current predicament and warned Nova to not support His friend Tim anymore as he harmed a noblewoman (Vixen) and that calls for excecution as punishment like his FLOWERGARDEN back then [Nova Angry yet composed as he let Tim stayed put as he prepare another stance] he spoke "I don't care about your dumb Loopholed flawed laws and standards…Tim is still my bestfriend and it's Final!!"
Nova's arrival was a game-changer, and his aura clashed with Reynard's dark mana, creating a dazzling display of colors that illuminated the room. As Nova parried Reynard's attack, Tim felt relief wash over him as his friend came to his aid.
Despite his injuries, Tim managed to thank Nova and consumed the splash healing potion, which at least treated his internal bleeding. His vision was still impaired, but he could now see better than before.
Reynard's warning only fueled Nova's determination. He knew that the laws and standards of this world were flawed and unjust, especially when it came to the treatment of commoners like Tim. Nova's voice rang with conviction as he defended his friend.
Tim, still weakened and on his knees, felt a surge of gratitude for his friend's unwavering support. Together, they were determined to stand against the injustices they faced, even if it meant defying the laws of the land.
The tension in the room continued to mount as the clash of ideals and powers intensified, with Nova and Tim ready to face whatever consequences came their way.
