[LUCAS TRIDENT'S POV:]
"Hah! What a nice feeling after exercising!" I said as I stretched my body and neck with a smile of achievement.
The morning sun felt great as the sword in my hand called out to swing it a couple more times.
"Sighs!"
"Well, let's go get changed!" I said to myself as I reformed my sword into the black cube, dropping it into my shadow space.
It's been already a month, and I went through a lot. It still pains me, not killing those bastard human imbeciles who dared to mock me while my training, but now that I've developed and grown my physique, I would make sure to pay them bastards back with even a small chance I get.
Not to mention, I have mastered the way of irregular speakings and replying for good.
Now that I have developed my physique and raised my rank, I'm already in the mid-tier of the Advanced rank now. I thought I can just shoot myself to Grand-master rank in a month, but due to my trainings and the exams with the situations like not-standing too much, I limited myself if I'm being honest. Not to mention, I would just get graduated from this Academy before my brother does.
Phew, these are all problematic situations, But, I could still train in my physique and control over my techniques. I'm confident that even with my rank, I could still take on an Emperor-ranked warrior and Great Magister level mages head-on and even overpower them with my power, so I would like to refine my methods of doing everything.
I left the training grounds and went to my room to get ready for my battle course classes, that I would be starting from today.
"Hey! I'm back!" I said as I went inside my room, greeting Bran, who was already ready with his uniforms on.
Just as I entered inside, he just stood still as he stared smiling, "Phew! Man Lucas. I still can't get used to this transformation of yours. I'm sure you would make a perfect Romeo in front of the chicks!" he said.
Well, I didn't understand what he meant by chicks, but I feel it's a word used to describe the female students, and my appearance did change a lot, so I have to agree with Bran.
Not to mention my mentor Gladius sure was surprised when he saw me after one month of training I went through.
I don't blame Master Gladius or Bran, as I'm already in awe myself.
Taking a good look at myself with my room's mirror, the first thing I noticed is my height. That short and scrawny body I had already disappeared as I was nearly as tall as my Mentor Gladius, who was at least 165 centimeters tall. Plus, I didn't notice it before but I did always have long eyelashes, which now accentuated my deep black eyes and my overgrown blond hair with short bangs sweeping across my forehead.
Overall, my appearance and body had become somewhat handsome and muscular, with sharp facial features, that actually gave me a very dashing as well as a scholarly look.
"Not bad. Not bad at all!" I liked this look of mine, as I said to myself in an impressed expression.
"Hey, you ready to get going!" Bran said as he opened the door.
I tied my hair as I walk past Bran with a smile, "Yeah. Let's go!"
On our way to the dining hall a bit down from the dorms, I heard the students talking as well as gazing at me.
"Hey! there is some kind of noble kid joined in this academy!"
"And yeah, he was so dreamy, right!"
"Kyaa. How can someone be this handsome!"
"Sir Bran is Handsome but this guy is so Devilishly cool!"
And I noticed a few female students pass past us, making a double-take and giggling with their friends. But this time, it wasn't about Bran; it was about the guy they were talking about. I wonder who it is though.
"The mysterious handsome guy huh, who do you think it is Bran?" I asked Bran as we walked.
"Are you seriously asking me that?" He yelled at me with a straight face. And just as he noticed my clueless expression, "Sigh," he sighed in disappointment.
"They are all talking about you Lucas!" Bran said with a sighed-smile.
Well, of course, I knew I was changed, but not more attractive than Bran is. Now this is something I never noticed before.
"Uh-huh! So, the Devilishly Cool guy was me all along. How cool is that?" I said to myself in a little bit of oddness. It's not like I wanted to become a handsome student who would be admired by people. I purely acted on my path to become powerful.
"You would get used to it brother. Just don't slack off and train even harder!" Bran said as he dropped his hand over my shoulders.
"Well of course, I will. This realm shall witness my might, now that I've become a devilishly-cool-handsome-man!" I said out loud.
"Seems like you are still chunibyo like always my friend!" Bran replied with a relieved sigh.
