When Ishma turned Vincent into a chandelier, an awkward silence was present over the class.
No one said a word.
Everyone who wanted to were forced to remain silent after looking up at the human chandelier that was once their classmate.
“Good. Then you're all our bitches from now on.”
Ishma laughed hysterically when she said that.
Miko said nothing about her wild statement. He just looked up at the new chandelier in the ceiling.
“This is 39th rank? Pretty disappointing if you ask me.”
He mumbled to himself.
“Should I kill him?”
Regis asked with a casual tone.
“Hm…”
He put on a pondering expression.
Sapphire who overheard what Regis asked, started to panic.
“Wait! You can't just kill him. You need to fight in an official match to get away with killing your opponent. If you do it outside a match, you'll be treated as a criminal and be purged by Gaia.”
She quickly explained.
“Is that so?”
Miko walked up to Vincent, and pulled him by the leg and out of the ceiling.
“You get to live, #39. Isn't that great?”
He then threw Vincent one side like a bag of trash.
Miko then looked at the teacher and smiled.
“My seat?”
The teacher didn't know what to say after witnessing one of his students being so badly beaten.
Just as he was finally about to open his mouth, a bell rung followed by an electronic voice.
(It is now time for lunch. All students proceed to the designated dining areas.)
“Oh, food! Good timing, I was starving!”
Ishma exclaimed.
“Me too. Let's go and see how good the academy's meals are.”
Said Miko.
They didn't pay the teacher and students any more attention and turned to towards Sapphire.
“Food.”
“Alright, alright. I'll lead you to the cafeteria before I go.”
She said with a smile.
At that time-
“Miko! Let's have lunch together!”
Someone suddenly entered the classroom and shouted.
“Bloom?”
Sapphire said with evident shock.
“The Gravity Queen!”
“The 6th Throne!”
Bloom's appearance sent the class into a frenzy, even the teacher was on edge.
In this academy Rulers held the most power besides the teachers; that was the cover story, but in actuality this only applied for Rulers outside the top ten. The top ten Rulers possessed authority second only to the headmaster. This meant that even teachers had to show them respect, and follow their orders if needed to.
This was of course set up like this by the headmaster and Pillar, Jun Mizune.
His reason for setting up such a system is still unknown; but that doesn't mean you can just not follow it.
Miko looked at Bloom who was in her usual Silver Crow gear, rather than her academy uniform.
“Looks like she's using up her privileges to dress as she pleases.
He mumbled to himself.
“It's that cursed woman!”
Ishma saw Bloom and shouted.
“What the hell do you-”
“I brought a bag of pudding.”
Bloom cut her sentence off and threw the bag at at her.
Ishma nose picked the sweet smell coming from the bag.
Her eyes sparkled and before you knew it, she leaped after the bag.
She caught it and immediately became well-behaved as she ate the pudding in a corner.
Everyone was speechless when they saw that.
Regis could only shake her head in disappointment as if she lost all faith in Ishma.
Seeing that there was no one blocking her path Bloom happily strolled over to Miko.
“Wow, this is the first time I've seen in your true form.”
She laughed and said-
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
“You really are just a kid.”
Miko frowned when he was called a kid by her.
“What do you want?”
“I just told you I came here to have lunch with you, didn't I?”
She then looked at Sapphire.
“I'll take it from here, Sapphy.”
“Who the hell is Sapphy?!”
Sapphire retorted on reflex.
“...Well, since you'll take things in your own hands then I don't have much to say.”
After saying that, Sapphire took her leave as if she was afraid of being drawn into some kind of trouble.
“Alright, let's go Miko!”
Before he could turn her down, Miko was pulled out of the classroom by Bloom, leaving his classmates in a daze.
None of them have ever seen the Gravity Queen so up close before, since she frequently left the academy to complete missions in the name of the Pillars.
So Bloom was like a sacred existence in the academy. The fact that she came to their class meant something big.
After they left the classroom, they soon left the first year building.
Bloom walked beside Miko with her arm entangled around his. This naturally drew the eyes of a lot of students.
There were two reasons for this; one, Bloom was an unrivaled beauty and had countless admirers from both sexes. Two, Bloom was the 6th Throne which made her one of the persons with the greatest influence and prestige in the school.
She was also undefeated. She was only 6th because she would always forfeit a match every now and again. This was true for a lot of the Thrones. Because of this, it was hard to correctly assume the Thrones’ true strength just from their ranks.
Especially the top five Thrones that Kaido belong to.
“…….”
Miko looked at the surrounding people and realized that several different emotions were being directed at him.
Curiosity, jealous, admiration, anger, hate.
Of course, there was also lust.
Even though he didn't want to hear it, Miko who bared great resemblance to Tiamat was also seen as an unrivaled beauty.
He was on par with Bloom, if not a slightly better.
Because of this, many people failed to recognized that he was wearing a male uniform and immediately identified him as a female.
There were of course those that noticed the uniform but thought that he was just crossdressing.
And of course, there were those who didn't care either way.
“As long as you're as beautiful as that, then gender is meaningless!”
That was the thought going through the minds of some.
Oh, there were also girls that were attracted to Miko's beauty as well.
Two beautiful people would naturally attract a lot of attention, but when they were followed by two equally beautiful girls, one which was identical to Miko, they naturally would cause a slight uproar.
“Who is that walking with the Gravity Queen?”
“I don't know, but they sure seem close. Look at how intimate they are.”
“Could it be that the Gravity Queen’s relative enrolled in the academy?”
“It's possible. He has enough beauty and grace to pass as her relative.”
A lot of people started to held their own discussion while watching Miko and the girls walk.
Miko natural heard these discussion with his draconic hearing, but he didn't really care for the ramblings of the masses.
He had bigger issues.
“God damn, they're big…”
He mumbled to himself as he stared at Bloom's bulging chest.
“Hina's isn't bad. She's about a C cup, and Luka’s are still developing, but these look ripe for the picking.”
Having Bloom wrap her arm around him, made Miko's sexual urges fly up. He already had a hard time restraining himself since she looked like Katrine, but being in contact with her made him feel like throwing all caution to the wind.
His sexual urges reached the point where he subconsciously release his fangs and claws as if he was planning on savagely tear Bloom apart.
He was literally reaching his limit.
(You know, if you want you can take her as your lover.)
Tiamat suddenly said in his head.
“Seriously?”
(Sure, why not?)
“And you wouldn't get upset?”
(Why would I get upset? I'm a goddess, it's natural for heavenly beings to have several partners. If you want a harem, then get a harem. I won't stop you. In fact I encourage this. Some of Augustus’ most trusted allies came from his various wives. This includes one of his Five Generals, which was also his wife after me.)
Tiamat said calmly.
Now that he thought about it, Augustus did have several children that wasn't from Tiamat. For example, Krow was Augustus’ youngest son.
(If you were holding back, because you wanted to solidify a romantic relationship with me first, then I advise you not to do so. You're a dragon, and dragons are very lustful. If you don't have regular sexual relations, there's a possibility that you'd actually go insane you know? Do you want to turn a rapist like Zeus?)
Tiamat asked with a laugh.
(If not, do as you please. I don't really care either way. I'm not a jealous woman like Hera. I won't try to harm your lovers like she did with Zeus’. So rest easy.)
“Permission was granted!”
Miko suddenly shouted and wrapped his arm around Bloom’s waist.
“?!”
This caught her off guard, and her body suddenly stiffen, but she tried her best not to let Miko notice and continued to walk “casually”.
When people saw that the two suddenly got more intimate, the idea that they were relatives were immediately thrown out the window.
It's not like incest was frowned upon in this world, in fact it was widely practiced. Especially in famous clans, that wanted to keep their bloodline as pure as possible.
This was a world of myths after all. There were countless heroes and gods that practiced incest. The reason no one believed that they were relatives was because even if they were lovers, relatives wouldn't boldly show off their affections for each other in public.
This cause the amount of jealous stares to increase by several folds.
As for Regis and Ishma who were behind Miko, they didn't seem to care about Miko's bold action.
Ishma was too engrossed in her pudding, and Regis was scheming on how to steal some for herself.
She finally did by challenging Ishma to a pudding eating contest, and egged her on until she accepted.
Meanwhile, Bloom and Miko walked in an intimate manner until they reached a huge luxurious looking building.
“Woah, this looks like a five star resort.”
Said Miko.
“The cafeteria caters to over 2000 students, and staff. So it has to be grand, especially since most of the students here are either royalty or from famous clans.”
Bloom answered with a slight blush on her face.
“Well, this is just one of the cafeterias on campus. I like this one the best, that's why I brought you here.”
She then dragged Miko inside, and Ishma and Regis followed closely behind.
When they entered the cafeteria, Miko was met with a luxurious interior as he had expected.
Inside was really like a five star restaurant instead of a school cafeteria.
The furniture used rivaled that of royalty, there were even servants on standby at every table. Miko had to admit that whoever design the inside had explicit taste.
Of course they were met with the gazes of a lot of people when they came in hand and hand.
“The Gravity Queen, and the Heavenly Demon King….”
Someone muttered.
It seemed that Miko's identity had already been revealed in the short time he walked from the first year building.
Technology was really convenient, Miko thought to himself.
“Now then, I'm drawing lots of attention and I'm being intimate with a beautiful yet power girl who is clearly the target of admiration by all. It should be around time for an arrogant idiot to cause a scene trying to steal Bloom from me. Well, that's the normal trope in these kind of settings.”
Miko mumbled.
“Heavenly Demon King!”
“And that's my cue.”
Miko looked and saw a fuming unknown man glaring at him, while looking at Miko's hand on Bloom’s waist.
“Take that hand-”
“Fuckoff Punch!”
*Bam!*
Before the man could finish speaking, Miko quickly shot towards him and punched him square in the face.
*Boom!*
He crashed into a wall and hung like a painting.
Miko dusted his hands off and turned his back to the painting.
Miko's sudden attack caught everyone off guard, as they never thought that he would defeated his opponent before he could even state his intention.
Miko walked back over to Bloom and placed his hand back on her waist.
“….You're really short tempered, you know that?”
Said Bloom.
“Pure curiosity, which rank was that?”
“25.”
Miko looked disappointed when he heard that.
“So he wasn't a Ruler. What a waste of time.”
Miko said with a sigh.
“I kinda guess it, but you really intend on taking the top spot at the academy don't you?”
“Of course. I have my reasons, so I need the top spot. Plus I think I should be able to do it.”
“Is that so?”
Bloom didn't deny or confirm Miko's declaration, since she knew who held the top very well.
She didn't know if Miko had what it takes to beat him, but he should put up quite a fight.
“Miko.”
She then suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Miko turned to look thinking that it was another fool, and was getting ready to attack. But he stopped after seeing who it was.
“Kaido.”
