Chapter 23 First Day Of Academy
Me and Lucy stepped inside our class and took the side seat of the creepy Flora girl, because this girl's side was always empty.
Our class was elite class, which is 1-S, filled with students with high potential.
This academy doesn't focus on raising battle mages because they don't care much about combat abilities and experiences. Because there wasn't any war in the last 450 years. There wasn't any war because there was no need to.
In this world, there are only 3 kingdom or empire and all of them aren't interested in other kingdoms. Elf's kingdom where only elves live, the human kingdom where only humans live and mana races unity are where every mana races lives, though there are few exceptions, so it isn't absolute.
While i was thinking about kingdoms, Professor came in.
"Silence." He said calmly and all students stopped speaking.
"I am William Bramford, 7th circle water specialised mage." He said calmly. He looked like a middle aged man in his early thirties, he has black hair with blue eyes.
"I will be responsible for teaching to you all history of magic development but before that choose your extra courses." He said and spoke 1 word rune language.
When he said the word, water appeared in front of him and it quickly moved to the students and disappeared in a blink. Papers appeared in front of the students.
I took the paper and found out that it was dry as if it wasn't carried by water.
'Is this the power of the 7th circle mage or is this professor William's control over his magic?' I wasn't curious about his power but i needed to know the capabilities of the circles, magic, and mana of this world fully.
Anyway i selected my courses. With that, i had 15 courses, 5 of them compulsory and the rest of them not compulsory. Compulsory ones are the history of magic development, pure mana manipulation, traits of mana fiends, meaning of runes, and magic practice.
Professor took the paper with the same magic trick, started his 90 minutes long boring history class and i endured the boredom of listening to useless history.
**********
After torturous 90 minutes of history class, i was free.
"Kukuku..."
I heard a small creepy giggle from my side. I turned towards to voice and said with a cold tone:
"Why are you laughing?"
Creepy girl, Flora looked at me with a strange grin and brought her trembling pale hand for a handshake.
"Kuku... It is nothing, We didn't even exchange our names right? I am Flora Sunwillow, Let's be friends from now on." She said with firstly bizarre tone but fixed her tone in the middle of the sentence.
"Kayle Ceurie." I said coldly and shook her hand lightly.
"Don't be cold Kayle." Flora said and pouted.
"It can't be helped because of my affinity." I explained flatly and smiled.
"Is that so, but i was sure th-" Flora's sentence was cut in the middle by Lucy.
"Brother come on, we will be late." Lucy's said quickly and started to pull me away from Flora.
"Let's talk about it later." I said while i was dragged away by Lucy.
Lucy dragged me to a dark place without any human. Normally i wouldn't allow her to drag me away but she seemed desperate for a reason i didn't know, so i let myself to dragged away.
Lucy pushed me to the wall and looked into my eyes.
"Brother, why did you get close to that whor- girl?" Lucy asked emotionlessly and held my head, lowering my face to her.
'I didn't know she was this possessive, is she normally like this, or is this my influence on her? Or is she became like this when she made a contract with Yarin? That is not good, nearly all of my plans are using my beauty and seduce the target. If she is this possessive of me, i can't seduce my targets.'
"I didn't get close to that girl, my dear Lucy. What are you talking about?" I asked with confusion.
Lucy further lowered my head to hers and got close to my ear.
"Why are you lying to me brother? I saw that you held her hand and spoke to her less coldly than usual." Lucy said coldly. She started to caress my hair slowly.
"You are true my dear, i got close to her." I said calmly.
"Why did you do it brother?" Lucy whispered coldly and let out a breath in my ear.
'I didn't think Lucy was a possessive yandere. If i don't answer properly, she won't leave me alone while i carry my plans. What should i say? Should i say something like 'you are the only one for me' or just feign ignorance.' This thought process lasted only a second in my head.
"Humans are emotional creatures my dear, so i thought that getting closer to Flora, who was a lonely girl for a long time because of her creepy expression which in time made her starving for friendship would be beneficial to us." I explained calmly as if i was a teacher and Lucy was my pupil.
Lucy who heard me, slowly crept her hands on my body.
"In short brother, is just wants to use that girl's talents and connections, not her body?" Lucy asked for confirmation.
"Indeed my dear." I nodded my head slowly.
"Am i not enough for brother? Brother shouldn't need someone else other than his sister. Should i kill her?" Lucy whispered to herself and slowly wrapped her arms around my waist.
'She is insecure because of some random creepy girl. Should i let her join my plans so that she would see how i treat her differently, more sincerely than some random persons?'
I too wrapped my arms around her.
"My dear you don't have to kill some random humans that i don't care about with my heart, i will only act like care about them. I only care about you and i will only care about you, so don't worry about some small things." I said calmly and kissed the crown of her head.
Lucy relaxed considerably and tightened her hug.
"Is it necessary brother? Lucy asked quietly.
'She understood my intentions it seems.'
"It is not my dear, but it will make our life easier and i want you to live a comfortable life without worrying about politics or something like that." I said and caressed her hair.
"In that case, i won't do anything but if you get closer to some girl more than necessary, i don't know if i can hold myself brother." Lucy said quietly.
"If you think that you can't hold back yourself anymore, come to my side i will try to help." I said apologetically.
"I can't do that brother. These days my head is messed up if i came to brother, i may do something bad to brother." Lucy said with a trembling voice.
"I wouldn't mind, even if you kill or torture me." I said calmly.
Just a few minutes ago i was telling her that i will use someone, that is why right now i was acting like a selfless brother.
"Value your life more brother!" Lucy looked at me and said loudly.
"I wouldn't try to kill brother but do other things." Lucy murmured slowly.
"I value my life dearly my dear you don't have to worry, just i wouldn't mind if it comes from your hands." I said.
'From my understanding, if Lucy couldn't hold her back, she will try to devour my body. Well, she can't do that i am stronger than her both physically and magically.'
I led Lucy to her room and laid her down on her bed. It was too early for Lucy to sleep but she was mentally tired so she slept pretty easily.
After that, i went to the living room.
"Yarin!" I called out to Yarin.
Yarin appeared from the shadows instantly and looked at me.
"Lucy is more corrupt than you said. What is the reason?" I asked with a cold, authoritative tone.
Yarin didn't show any particular expression to my cold tone and said.
"Nope. She was a little less like this before the contract, the contract just made her more obsessive."
"It is impossible. We made the contract when Lucy was 12 years old, how can she be possessive of me when she was little." i said and shook my head.
"It is obviously your fault. You must have thought that giving her affection was okay but i could tell that she was broken even before the contracts. When you gave her affection that she yearned for a long time, she must have obsessed with you." Yarin concluded.
"How do you know?" i asked because she couldn't know Lucy's circumstances.
"I understood this when i talked with her first time. We darkling are mad, broken, and bizarre creatures, thus we are sensitive to this kind of thing." Yarin said.
"Tell me if i get closer to this kind of person that i could use." I said.
After saying this i got out of Lucy's room and waited until night.
When night came i went to one of the sparring rooms of the academy and entered it.
In the middle of the room, i saw a girl with black hair and black eyes.
"At last you come, Kayle! Kukuku..."
