Chapter 54: Chapter 15: I'm An Avalon Virgin! Honest!
Located in the northwest section of the academy lies a mystical structure, located and found in the early dates of the Empire's history—at the time, nobody knew about Avalon or even the other races hid on the other side of a thin veil...
Discovering the portal and the machine that created the portal was mankind's first step into both devastation and prosperity...
"It's rather nostalgic..." Lancelot whispered he didn't resummon Marimo because she was tired after using the Summon Drive and over-exerting herself to impress him.
'Such a cute little Hare...' So he summoned Meru, who was happy to return and stood beside him humming after learning he won the duel.
"Hehe~"
"Are you that happy?"
Lancelot and Meru sat on the waiting benches inside the huge structure once thought to be created by the gods.
Yet nobody could truly say who created this gadget, with 10 huge rectangle mirrors around 15 metres high and 5 metres wide, it was a huge and clunky thing which supported even more back then, 3,000 years ago, when the gods had delivered this to mankind.
'Well, it's not the only one, most academies now have smaller ones, but this one and the one in the Justice Union to the far west have an amazing one too.
They Discovered 500 years ago when their people split from the Empire.
About 20 students were waiting in the other seats for other years.
However, the only people from the first year were Lancelot and Meru sitting on his lap, her powerful legs kicking out as she ate some dried imp meat with a happy smile.
Merlin stood on a quiet, elevated pedestal in the centre of the room.
His eyes browsed across the faces and bodies of the students, seemingly checking their talent and future with the shimmering blue glow and his star-shaped pupils—it was clear he was analysing them all to check for intruders.
'It's good that Morgana was stronger than him at her peak, so he cannot see through her veil or protection...'
10 minutes later, several people started to enter; most of them were the members of Lancelot's class, still seeming to be excited about the battle at the arena.
"Amazing... Did you know that Lancelot was that strong?" A boy asked—his hair was short and spiked with a brown tint, and he had a rugged face, which was quite handsome and popular, with two women walking beside him engaged in their conversation.
"No way, he always was very flexible during physical class but never showed such skill with a sword or even his own body before..."
"Guinevere was just as amazing, though! Her dragon's Summon drive... It was such a close fight!" The second girl cut in, seeming to want to support Guinevere or maybe not support another man in front of the boy she liked.
It didn't matter how handsome Lancelot was—these girls loved the man beside them. Looks weren't everything, but they certainly would at least greet and be willing to talk with him now, both wanting to apologise for judging him for his status in the past.
"Speak of the devil—he's with his cute little troop too. Imagine doing that thing with some muscular men or a nasty goblin... Lucky guy, haha."
"Tiron, you are amazing too, don't feel down!"
"Mmmm, why not sit with him?"
Lancelot could hear the noisy people and smile, Tiron Brunne, a good guy and son of a baron to the north. "I see you haven't changed much, Tir..." Lancelot's soft voice sounded like a butterfly's wings flapping."
A person he might call a friend in the future, maybe even a brother.
In the past, when some thugs attacked Tiron, he helped fend them off at the cost of a small scar on his abdomen, but from that moment on, this guy secretly spoke well about him and tried to get the other lower nobles to back off.
"Ahem! Quiet students, please come inside and be seated quietly—otherwise, I shall expel you from this pleasure~!" Merlin threatened, coughing at the students, all buzzing from the duel.
The moment when Tiron was about to head towards Lancelot, two women moved past him with quite the pace—a smaller eastern girl in a customised black uniform with a cute hood and scarf quickly moved to where Lancelot was and, for some strange reason, sat on his left knee.
As if competing with the Hare...
"Master, Sumika was amazed at your truth strength! However, she cannot condone you giving your thighs to this cheeky rabbit who steels snacks!"
"Hmph~ I am not Ikumi~ Meru is a smart girl..." Seeming to forget to correct Sumika, who called her a rabbit... causing Lancelot to chuckle, stroking both of their heads out of habit, then looking at the kunoichi.
"How is your body Sumika the training manual wasn't too hard, right?"
"Mmmm... Grandpa wants to meet you in the morning and ask if you can train with me more... Stupid old man seems to love you more than his granddaughter these days..."
"Lancelot this, That boy that...." Sumika complained, rubbing her head against Lancelot's palm as if to get rid of her grievances and give Meru a competitive look.
[It looks like Meru might have found a good Lord for a training partner... What do you think?]
Morgana was so sly, stealing the thoughts off the top of my head...
'I'll ask Meru and Marimo and maybe have Meru learn some of the Hotaru Kunoichi arts. A squad of female ninja hares sounds pretty cute...'
[Are you thinking about them all using lewd techniques in bed too?]
Lancelot ignored her before suddenly another woman approached—it was Guinevere, who still had a slight bruise on her cheek from their fight.
Her azure eyes looked into his before she smiled like a spring morning, "Lancelot, you were amazing in today's duel. I hope we can move forward on the same side someday..."
"That's if you can forgive me for siding with those people... It was to avoid you getting into any further trouble... If I got hurt, those nobles wouldn't cause trouble anymore... Neither will my father because your talent was proven..."
[This crafty minx! She's burying the out moat rapidly now after showing her true colours!]
[Lancelot, be careful, this woman is a demon of lust that will swallow you whole.]
'Morgana...'
Lancelot's head hurt as he thought, 'How shameless can the Queen of succubi call another a demon of lust!?'
"No problem, quick sit down. Merlin is giving you a nasty look... It seems he's getting angry about the time running late, haha."
"How nostalgic..." The pair said simultaneously, Guinevere now sitting to his right, her relaxed and serene smile as she looked left, enjoying the sight of Lancelot being so close once again...
But the two women are sitting on his lap... That caused her to frown as she bit her lower lip with a slightly jealous look.
"Now then, every one of the first year! It's time to experience your first time!" Merlin's lips curved into an old man's smile from his dirty joke before his huge staff was slammed down.
All 10 mirrors suddenly began to glow with a beautiful blue and purple light...
The pathway to Avelon was opening!
