I smiled as I watched the Viscount Beltras train walk past us. My mother and I continued walking into the academy.
"Dean, Princess, good morning..."
"Dean, Princess, good morning..."
"..."
As we passed some students along the way, they greeted me and mom with friendly smiles. We also respond to them kindly.
"Chairman...!"
Just as I was about to turn at a passageway intersection, suddenly a voice called out from behind. My mother and I turned to look at the three boys who were running in a hurry towards us.
Only members of the student committee will call me chairman. Looking at their armbands, I knew that they were members of the disciplinary committee tasked with maintaining discipline in the academy. Not only the students, but the instructors would also receive a penalty if they committed an offense that would be directly reported to me mother.
As I looked at them, one of them had a flushed and swollen right cheek. On that cheek, there was clearly a trace of five fingerprints, indicating that the child had just gotten physical abuse from someone.
Philia:"Did something happen?."
I asked strangely and approached them. Just how capable that fellow was to dare to act was outrageous within the academy.
Arsh:"What's going on with you?."
Mother also saw a slap on the child's face and leaned over to touch it.
"Ah... It hurts."
As soon as the mother's hand touched the swelling on her cheek, the child immediately grimaced in pain. Looking at the child's unflattered expression, the mother immediately pulled her hand quickly and did not dare to touch it anymore.
The boy looked doubtful, but still took a deep breath and explained it to me.
"So our group met with Viscount Beltras. Since the Viscount was carrying some suspicious large suitcases, so we intended to ask him. But, the Viscount got angry and slapped me."
"really. The viscount also threatened us to be expelled from the academy for being disrespectful towards nobles."
Hearing the explanation from the children, I suddenly became very furious with that person. What happened to the nobles?. Are they so great that they don't humanize others?.
Sally:"It's okay. You go see instructor Alneir, I'll take care of this."
I'm very angry, but there's nothing I can do right now. After all, inspecting noble items was indeed impolite and would drop the pride of a noble.
I saw the three of them go towards the academy's health hall.
Arsh: "Darling, what are you going to do?."
Hearing mother's question, I could only shake my head gently.
Filia:"There is nothing to do for now. He was also a noble. It could only wait for mother to report to the palace about the violent acts she had committed in the academy's surroundings."
Arsh:"Well, I think it could be like this."
I actually already have plans for this and for the other nobles so that they are not so haughty in the academy environment, but I cannot tell mother. If you knew, two would probably hate me.
At another crossroads, my mother and I separated. Mother headed to the Dean's office, while I returned to my room with Ilma.
Ilma:"Daughter, why did you let her?."
Arriving inside the room, Ilma asked me. Hearing her question, I could only sigh and sit on the sofa chair while leaning back.
Phil:"It's not yet time. Nobles will find it difficult to accept the academy's arrangements that require us to check their luggage. If word got out that the nobles who entered the academy would be checked for their luggage, many nobles would be angry and might demand the palace to disband the Student Committee."
Ilma:"So, Princess?."
I sat up straight and looked at Ilma with a smile. Although Ilma had gone through a lot of combat training and became more mature, but for something like this, she was still a little weaker.
Filia:"Simple. If there is an incident that makes the nobles can not refuse, then we can implement the rules of inspection of visitor goods easily."
Ilma:"So you want to use the Viscount as an example?."
Filia:"Really. The viscount came to the academy to create a riot. After a riot, we can check the visitor's goods without the slightest refusal under the pretext that something like this will not happen again."
Just like the events of 9/11 that led to security changes in airports around the world became more stringent.
And now, all I have to do is wait for everything to happen for the next one to take action. What if there is a victim?. They sacrifice for a better future..
Actually, did I do this much just for the sake of checking the visitor's stuff?. Answer's no. I did all this not only because of such trivial things, but I did this to suppress those nobles, especially for those who want to do bad things that might endanger my people.
Moreover, those nobles were too arrogant and rampant. Even in the royal-protected academy environment, they dared to violence against students. If they continue to be left unchecked, this will only become a habit and assume that the rules are something that is not important. Moreover, they would do whatever they wanted, especially to the common people and the weak. I'm so sick of their behavior like that.
.....
(Male)
The academy.....
"Five more rounds!!."
An instructor shouted to tell us. Today, we were instructed to practice around the training ground to strengthen our physique. Compared to the others, my physique was much stronger because I was training Miss Filia.
Besides me there was Princess Sophia and Prince Elion running along. While the others had started to get tired with their breaths, they still looked very relaxed, even though there were some sweat spots on their foreheads.
Lyric:"Hay... Are you tired?."
Suddenly Miss Liris patted him on the shoulder from behind and asked. He greeted me with a friendly smile. His red hair with an excited expression made him look extremely fiery, as if running a few rounds was completely tasteless to him.
Aria:"S, I'm a little tired. What about you?."
Liris:"As Your Majesty's personal knight, this kind of practice can only be considered a warm-up."
After saying that, miss Liris ran faster and preceded me. I admire him a lot. Despite being a noble, he worked very hard to get better. I can't lose. I am also the knight of Princess Philia, so I cannot lose to the others.
I kept running until I finished. While resting, I could feel my legs a little sore, but this was all natural after running that much.
Sophia:"It's really exhausting."
Elion:"Yes. But when Miss Filia trains us, this kind of training can indeed be considered light."
I heard the conversation of the prince and princess who were sitting not far from me. Indeed, when compared with the training given by Princess Filia, training like this is still relatively light.
Stern:"Aria, take it."
While walking towards me, Stern threw a bottle of drinking water at me. Behind him, miss Liris also followed with a smile. Although noble, but Miss Liris can get along with anyone regardless of the origin of the person. His personality like that made him a popular kid at the academy. Moreover, as an elf bloodline, miss Liris looked extremely beautiful with a delicate face.
However, behind her such attitude, she became very serious while carrying out her duties as the guardian of Princess Philia. The two of them sat down next to me, drinking the drink in their hands. The movements of the two of them were very harmonious, as if the two of them were one person. Maybe it was because the two of them often practiced together, so they became in tune without realizing it.
Stern:"Miss Liris, I'm with daughter Filia will come to the academy today, is that true?."
Lyrics:"Yes. But I don't know when Her Highness the Princess will arrive. I wanted to continue beside her, but the Princess told me to go to the academy first. Perhaps, the Princess does not need my protection."
Stern:"That's because we're too weak right now. We must become stronger in order to become more useful to Princess Philia."
Miss Liris immediately stood up with a serious face.
Lyric:"You're right. Right now our strength isn't enough, I'll be back to training."
Before I reacted, Miss Liris had already taken a step and ran around the field. After Miss Liris left, Stern also stood up. He smiled when he saw Miss Liris. It was not a gentle smile or something, but it was a happy smile as he found an equal rival or someone he had to surpass. In other words, it was a fighting spirit smile.
He used to be a quiet and shy kid at the academy because of his background. But after meeting with Princess Philia, she became full of confidence and always fought hard to become stronger.
I think I'm like that too. I also want to become stronger to be useful to Princess Philia who has helped me a lot.
I can't lose to them. I also went to follow the two of them. Even though I am the weakest among the three, but I still do not want to lose. Without me noticing next to me there was suddenly someone running alongside me. As I turned my head, a boy with smiling golden hair was present in my eyes. He is Prince Elion.
Aria:"P, prince?!."
I was surprised to see the presence of the prince, but I still continued to run to chase after Miss Liris and Stern.
Elion:"Hello miss Aria."
Aria:"P, prince, what are you doing?."
I'm rattled. The prince who was originally resting suddenly followed us to run. Is there anything?.
Elion:"Come. I just saw you guys training with passion, so I guess I got carried away. Not just me, but Sophia too."
Prince Elion spoke up and showed Sophia's daughter running behind us. I was really surprised. Ever since we all gathered together, the rivalry between us began to take shape. There is no other goal, we just want to be the strongest in front of Princess Philia.
We continued to run for more than ten rounds. My breath was no longer strong, so I stopped.
From behind, miss Liris and the others also stopped right beside me. They ran more than me, so they were tired too. Regardless of her identity as a royal princess, princess Sophia instantly dropped herself on the ground.
We all followed and sat in a circle to set our slightly messy breaths. No one spoke, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard. We looked at each other and smiled. There was absolutely no sense of identity gap between commoners like me or Stern and noble families like Prince Elion and the others.
Sophia:"It's the first time I've run that much."
Elion:"I also."
Lyric:"No to me. Our Vermilion Family is the guardian knight family of the Royal family, so since childhood, I have been trained hard to become a qualified knight."
Stern:"I don't train hard, but I often go hunting with my dad in the woods, so running is common."
Sophia: "I must admire your hard work."
Liris:"Prince, what's wrong?."
The prince was not focused in the conversation. He didn't notice us, but noticed something behind me. Behind me was a gate separating the academy area and the training field, so as I turned towards the prince's gaze, I saw a boy staggering towards us. The boy looked down with shaky steps, as if he could fall at any moment, yet he was still walking towards us.
His right hand held a large dark purple crystal stone. The crystal emitted a thin black smoke that was almost invisible. However with the light element mine was very sensitive to such a dark aura, so I realized that the crystal was not something good.
Elion:"Isn't he Beltras' son, what's he doing here?."
Liris:"She seemed to be muttering something."
Aria:"The crystal doesn't feel good."
Hearing my words and seeing her strange behavior, we all stood up and watched her vigilantly.
Liris:"Aria, go behind me."
The staggered boy stopped about twenty meters away from us. His mouth continued to murmur quietly, looking scary to me.
As the boy raised his head, his face was sweating and became purplish. His red eyes looked at us with a scary smile on his face.
Miss Iris and Stern instantly took out their swords preparing to attack at any time.
Not only the two of them, me and the others were also preparing for the attack. Prince Elion had a flash of lightning around her body, and Princess Sophia was surrounded by a beautiful emerald green aura.
"Haha.... You guys deserve to die... You must die....!"
Krak...!!
The boy laughed crazily and said frightening words. A moment later, the purple crystal in his hand cracked, a dark and repulsive aura instantly scattered into the surroundings that we could instantly feel.
A strong wind and a dazzling purple light shot out from the cracked crystal.
"Go...!"
Because of the blinding light, I closed my eyes. It was then that I heard the voice of the prince yelling at us. Suddenly, I felt like an arm was hooked to my waist and took me away.
Boomm...!!
Almost instantly, a loud explosive sound rang out and echoed. The shockwave pushed me and the others away from that place.
When I opened my eyes, I knew that the one who took me away was Miss Liris.
Lyric:"Are you all okay?."
Elion:"Yes."
Sophia:"I'm good."
Stern:"It's okay."
Aria:"S, I'm fine. Thank you." Thank you."
We answered one by one and immediately stood up, looking towards the explosion. At the scene of the explosion an****** ten-meter-high purple firepair was formed, pulling the leaves and surrounding light objects into the vortex of fire.
"Haha.... Robust... Now I'm very strong...!."
From within that vortex of fire, there was a terrifying loud laughter. It was no longer the sound of laughter before, but rather it was the sound of heavy, overlapping laughter, as if several people were talking simultaneously.
Swos....!
A large purple arm with shiny black claws stretched out from within the flames. The vortex of fire was torn off by that arm so we could see what was inside. A large purple creature four or five meters tall stood on the rest of the fire tornado.
The body is large with a form of fusion between humans and goats. His body was slightly bent with large muscular arms that were long enough to be able to touch the ground. Both of his legs looked strong and slender like the back legs of a wolf without hair.
His eyes were red without pupils with a purple aura around his eyes. Judging from any side, it was just a monster.
Elion:"Is that the son of the Beltras family?."
Liris:"What kind of evil thing did he use, it made him even uglier than before."
Elion:"That's a bit nasty, but I agree. Everyone be careful."
"You must die.... You must die...!"
Swoss...!
After saying that, suddenly the creature disappeared from its place. I could only hear the sound of the wind whistling and suddenly the huge body of the monster appeared in front of Miss Liris.
Stern:"Sword intent."
As the monster swung its big arm towards Miss Liris, suddenly a huge silver sword blocked between the claws and Miss Liris.
Bangs.... Cracks...!
A loud bang sounded. Although it was extremely powerful, but the huge silver sword instantly formed many cracks on the surface. In less than a second, the silver sword shadow shattered into pieces like glass.
Ahhh....!
Due to the shockwave from the impact, we were all thrown backwards. Miss Liris's body closest to the impact area hit my body, causing us both to be thrown simultaneously.
My chest hurts a lot, but it's better than Miss Liris blocking the direct impact of the shockwave for me.
We were thrown about five feet from where we were. Princess Sophia is like me, she's protected by Prince Elion.
Liris:"Stern, wake up..."
Miss Iris did not notice the pain and directly approached the unconscious Stern with blood at the corner of her mouth. Among all of us, perhaps Stern was the one who received the most impact from the monster attack earlier.
"Vain, Vain.... You will all die and become my food hahaha.....!"
Liris: "He's no longer human, we have to fight him."
Elion:"Yes. Seeing his speed in motion, we will not be able to escape. We can only fight it until the instructors come."
Liris:"I will hold him as much as possible with the prince. Princess Sophia, you try to heal Stern, and for Aria, you will prepare your magic."
"Yes!." 3x
At the foot of princess Sophia appeared a green magic circle with a picture of a four-leaf clover leaf in the center. A green aura enveloped us, all the pain and discomfort in my body became greatly reduced.
Elion:"Luminous silver driver, hold that evil for me... «Lightning Chain»."
Silver lightning like snakes emerged from the prince's palm and headed straight towards the monster. The lightning swerved like life, entangling the monster's body like a silver rope.
"Akhich.... Damnn..... Little ants...!"
The monster that was held back by the Lightning chain shouted loudly. A flash of lightning stung the monster's body, making some parts of its skin burn.
Elion:"I can't hold it for too long."
Lyric:"I know... The red sword glows, it burns like the sun in the sky, burn the impurity to dust «Annihilation flame sword »"
The red sword in Miss Liris' hand was burning with fire. The color of the flame became deeper and eventually turned into an abnormal red color. The hot temperature makes my skin feel a little dry.
"Act...!."
The monster tore through the Lightning chain with its hand, making the Lightning chain disappear and the monster was able to break free. However, before the monster could laugh, a human figure carrying a flaming sword had already appeared before him.
Liris:"Death to the ugly monster....!"
Miss Iris swung her sword very quickly and made a long slash from the left shoulder to the right abdomen of the monster. Miss Iris immediately ran away from the monster's body. Like a fire burning oil, the wounds on the monster started to light up and...
Boomm...!
A loud explosion accompanied by an extremely hot red flame exploded from the monster's scar.
"Akhich.... Fucking ants....!"
The monster shouted as red flames burned its body. I took the opportunity when the monster was enveloped in flames and cast my own spell.
Aria:"Golden glorious light, show your majesty to the darkness that is blocking my path «Shining Javelin»"
Small particles of light began to revolve around me and gathered to form a two-meter long javelin.
In less than a single breath, the javelin was perfectly formed and instantly shot into the monster's body like an arrow that slipped off the rope.
Swoss....!!
The javelin was so fast that it made the air scream.
Jamb...
"Ohhhhh....!"
The monster's screams sounded much more painful than the two attacks in the beginning. The red purple aura that enveloped his body instantly dispersed. The javelin that pierced through the monster's body instantly broke into light particles as large as soybean seeds that flew very quickly around the monster carrying a tail of light like a shooting star.
Those light particles were like sharp blades that were rapidly spinning around the monster, piercing through and tearing its body until red purple blood flowed from its body.
This was the first time I used this magic after it was taught by Princess Philia. According to what he said, this magic was a magic with continuous damage that would continue to inflict injuries to the target for one minute.
With a large number of torn wounds and burns on his body, the monster fell to its knees on the ground without moving. His head lowered and hid the monster's face. The wounds on his body continued to drain the blood that fell to the ground below him.
We looked at the monster vigilantly, but after a while, it remained motionless.
Lyric:"A, is this over?."
"Ugh...!"
Before anyone answered, we heard a slow cough from behind. I saw that Stern who was in the lap of Princess Sophia was starting to wake up. Although her face was pale, but this was better than before getting the treatment of Princess Sophia.
Aria:"Thank God you_.... That monster is not dead yet...!!!"
I suddenly felt the dark aura of the monster that was originally weakened to become extremely strong like an explosion.
As we turned around, suddenly the monster had already swung its claws before my eyes... The claw was enlarged very quickly and made me unable to react. My mind was empty and only one word could I think of... DIE...
BANG....!!
When the monster's claw was only a few centimeters from my face, suddenly a small object the size of a blue thumb passed through the corner of my eye and struck right into the monster's body making a loud crash sound, sending the monster's body flung backwards.
I sat down with my legs limp. Cold sweat soaked my body and the overwhelming fear made me tremble.
A clear and soft voice came into my ear. As if it had mystical powers, my frightened heart became calmer.
"Who made you dare to touch my people..?!."
