Chapter 19 Beauty Is Terrific Power
I went back to the entrance of the dungeon and opened the door.
I found Orion sleeping on a chair but didn't see Lucy or any of the maids.
I coughed loudly.
Ahem!
"Wha-?" Orion woke up suddenly and stood straight but when he saw me he perplexed for a moment.
"Where is Lucy?" i asked coldly.
"Dude why are you naked above the waist and what happened to your hand?" Orion's cheek became red slightly and asked.
Well i forgot my hand's broken state and my naked chest.
"Give me my storage artifact and tell me where is Lucy." i said with a cold expression.
"What is this cloth bag that hung to your back?" Orion asked disinterestedly.
"I found them inside, so it's mine. Just shut up for a second and give my storage artifact." i spoke annoyedly.
Orion gave me my storage artifact, so i put the books into storage and took out a healing potion.
I made an ice table and put my broken hand flat on it and drank the potion. A healing potion can wrongly mend broken bones, that's why i properly arranged my bones.
"Wow! You are a durable one. To think that someone would arrange their broken bones without even wincing in pain." Orion said with slight respect in his voice.
"Where are Lucy and our servants?" i asked again coldly.
"Is Lucy the one that with you?" Orion asked.
"Yes" i answered plainly.
"She is in the dungeon too, and your servants are waiting in the registration room." Orion answered.
Yawn!
"How did you manage to break your hand when fighting with illusions?" Orion asked curiously.
"I punched the wall" i said plainly, like it was just a normal thing.
"What!? Aren't you a mage?" Orion shocked for a moment and asked.
"I am a mage that trains his body"
"You will live a long life it seems. By the way, what is your and the girl's full name, i need them for registration process." Orion asked and took out a paper.
"Kayle and Lucy Ceurie."
"Finally information mages came to the academy after a long time. That's good, what is your circle progress?"
"I am no information mage, i specialized in ice magic.
Anyway, Lucy is low 4th circle, i am high 4th circle."
"Well, that's good too. Let's see your practical test results." Orion murmured to himself.
"92 points in fighting against monsters that are equivalent to your rank. You will be a good battle mage, there are not so many students that good at fights."
"I see. So when is Lucy coming out?"
"In the dungeon time pass differently than outside. She would come out less than an hour, so let me be for a moment i wanna sleep." Orion said and closed his eyes.
Orion slept and I didn't have anything to do other than wait, so i took out a book from my storage and started to read.
After about 30 minutes of reading, the dungeon's door opened. Lucy stepped out of the dungeon and fell flat on her face.
I analyzed Lucy's condition and found that she used all of her mana reserves, hence she fainted because of mana exhaustion.
Lucy's test was over, so it was time to woke Orion up.
I didn't try to tease or seduce man, thus i decided to try my skills on Orion.
I quietly sat down to the side of the Orion, put my head to his shoulders, adjusted my breathing and heartbeats after that closed my eyes.
I started pretending to sleep.
I waited like this for a minute or so and made a momentarily high pitched bell noise with illusion magic. I didn't know any sound magic but illusion magic was enough for this occasion.
Orion woke up, startled. He quickly looked around to find the noise's location but didn't find anything other than fainted Lucy and sleeping me.
Orion stared at my 'sleeping' face for a while and tried to say something but didn't.
"Uhmm..."
I didn't see his face but i felt his rising heartbeat and trembling hands.
'If he isn't gay, this means i can very well seduce a man too.' was my conclusion.
Orion nudged me few times to woke me up but I didn't stop pretending and pushed his hand slowly.
As if convinced that i was sleeping, he brought his hand towards my face and touched the hair that had fallen on my face.
He felt my hair for a while and inspected it like it was a treasure. My wavy hair was clean, soft, and shiny, which i didn't know how because i didn't maintain my hair.
Afterward, he started to bring his hand to my lips.
My idea was simple. When he touches my skin, i will open my eyes immediately and coldly look at him and he would probably be embarrassed.
But i couldn't.
"What are you doing to my brother? You pervert!" Lucy shouted.
I couldn't see Orion's embarrassed face because Lucy literally screamed.
Lucy was still on the floor looking at Orion with bloodshot eyes. Lucy couldn't even move her limbs but she screamed to protect her precious brother's 'purity'.
When i heard Lucy's shout, I opened my eyes instantly to catch Orion red-handed but he quickly withdraw his hand.
I looked around 'cluelessly' and saw Lucy laying on the floor.
I rushed towards Lucy quickly and checked her body with my hands for injuries. Afterward, i took out a healing potion and shoved it in her mouth when she tried to say something.
Lucy tried to shake her head but i didn't let her.
"Shh, relax. It is just a healing potion, nothing bad." I said with 'concerned' tone.
Lucy understood that resisting was futile, so she gave up and drank the potion.
I picked her in my arm and turned to Orion.
Orion looking at me with his mouth open in 'O' shape.
'He must be shocked because of my caring action.'
"What are you looking at like that?" i said coldly.
"That i-" Orion stuttered and tried to say something but i cut him off.
"I don't care, just register us quickly. My sister needs rest."
"Ah? Okay." Orion said and looked at Lucy's test result.
"63 points in fighting, that is good too." Orion muttered quietly.
"Follow me." Orion said and started to walk.
I walked after him with Lucy in my arms. She was sleeping, probably from mana exhaustion.
It is a wonder that she woke up this early, when she newly emptied her mana reserves because if a mage uses all of their mana reserves, they would collapse and wouldn't wake up minimum of 12 hours.
Anyway, me and Orion walked for about an hour and came into a reception room like place.
This place is filled with teenagers that want to be a student of this academy. The student candidates were separated into 3 lines. Which i didn't want to enter because waiting would be long.
"Do we have to enter the line?" I asked.
"No. They are above average candidates but you are premium student." Orion answered and walked.
He walked to the corner of the room where a new small line that i didn't noticed and called out to me.
"Kayle! Come here." Orion shouted and made some hand gestures.
I began to walk towards Orion who was in line. While i walked i felt so many gazes on me because this place was mostly quiet, so when Orion shouted. Almost every student looked at him afterwards they looked at the person that Orion shouted at, in short me.
I could feel that the gazes on me were shock, admiration, jealousy, lust and even some of them were love.
I knew that my beauty was neutral one that almost doesn't differ between gender but i didn't think that even a guy would look at me with love at first sight.
Well, i didn't care about their stares and went to the side of Orion.
"umm i am sorry." Orion said quietly.
"For what?" I asked blankly.
"Because everyone are looking at you because of me." Orion said. He must have thought that i didn't like attention or their gazes.
"Cut the crap. I don't care about their stares." I said harshly.
"What is this line for?" I asked and gestured to the line where we were waiting.
"This line is for candidates with great potential."
"How long will we wait? Lucy needs to rest to recover and i have to buy clothes, i can't wander around naked above the waist." i said and gestured Lucy with my head.
"Don't worry your turn will come minimum of 30 minutes, after that you can let Lucy rest in her room. As for clothes, you don't have to worry too much. No one would make comment about your naked chest because of your good looks." Orion explained slowly.
"So you are saying if i am handsome/beautiful enough, it won't cause trouble?" I asked blankly.
"Probably." Orion thought for a moment and said.
'Should i seduce important people with minor actions afterwards and pretend to be dense anime protagonist? It is good idea to be honest but i have think more about this.'
We waited for about 30 minutes in line. It was my turn so i went to the front receptionist and gave the required information. Orion gave our test results to receptionist. The receptionist made us wait for a while after that they gave our student identification.
Student identification is bound magical item to students. It is called identification but it has also students' class schedules and many more things.
