“Old man, look” I said while showing may hands covered in lightning.

The old man showed a gentle smile and patted my head. “Nicely done” He then moved his hand to my cheek and pulled it. “But I told you not to call me an old man.”

With an expressionless face, ignoring the pain in my cheeks, I replied. “But old man is an old man.”

A vein popped out on his smiling face as he pulled the other side of my cheek. “Alice, I’m not an old man.”

“But you told me it’s bad to lie.” I said without any emotions.

The old man released my cheeks and hugged me tightly. He then spun around with me on his hands and said. “I won’t let you go until you retract what you said.”

I made a small, unnoticeable smile, and said. “Old man”

Hearing that, the old man continued spinning and stopped when I heard a cracking sound. “M-my back.” He put me down first before falling to the ground while holding his back. “A-Alice, retract what y-you said, I-I’m not old yet.”

I chuckled for a second and said. “Father”

He’s the headmaster of Tyrass magic academy, the one who adopted me, the one who saved me from despair, and the only one I could call a family.

...

I woke up feeling refreshed. I finally had a good sleep and this time, I didn’t have a nightmare. I woke Leor, who was tightly grabbing my arm, and went to the kitchen to cook breakfast. Of course it’s fried egg again, it’s the only ingredient in the house after all.

I finished reading the documents and I’m now ready to act like Alice. There’s none saying I need to, but as long as I don’t know how long I’ll stay here, I need to preserve Alice’s reputation.

Alice is an anti-social type, only speaking when it’s necessary. The only one she’s interested in talking to is her father, the headmaster of Tyrass academy, so she ignores everyone else. When she transferred here, people naturally tried to befriend her, but she just sat and ignored all of them, leading to her being isolated.

I think it’s quite a bad reputation, but I need to make it stay that way nonetheless. It’s for her not to have a hard time when she comes back and also for the benefits I’ll get acting like her.

I’ll distance myself from others, giving me more time to for myself, study, and adapt to this world. I’ll gather the information that I need while acting like her for a month. After that span of time, I’m sure I already know what I need to know and it’s certain that I’ll stay longer, so I can finally act like myself.

The only ones who has seen a portion of my true personality are two students and two teachers, so I think I won’t have much problem in acting like Alice.

“Leor, starting today I won’t speak much. I want you to do the same and only call my attention when it’s really necessary, ok?”

“Yesh mashta” He said while his mouth was full.

After that, we took a bath, changed into new clothes, and headed to the school....to think I didn’t take a glance on this body, just how far have I changed? No, I’m just acting like Alice, that’s right, I’ll properly examine her after a month, or at least when Leor is somewhere else.

While walking, I heard a familiar voice. “Alice!”

It came from behind, but I didn’t look back. I ignored it and continued walking.

“Alice!” The voice was closer this time and soon, I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I also ignored it, but he stood in front of me.

“Alice, why are you ignoring me?” Said Jecht.

I moved to the side and continued walking, but he held my hand and asked again. “Did I do something wrong?”

Not really, but the things you did yesterday were irritating. That’s not the point, I’m merely acting like Alice.

I pulled my hand and glared at him before entering the school building.

After that, he continued to call me even when the class started, but I still ignored him.

Jecht’s POV:

Something’s wrong with Alice today. I know she doesn’t like me much, so she always threatens me or hits me, but why is she ignoring me? I kept calling her attention, yet she doesn’t even look at me....

I stood up in the middle of class and went outside. If she won’t look at me, then there’s no reason for me to stay in class. For now, I’ll ask those two for their opinions.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

I went to the rooftop where my underlings where lazing around. Once they saw me, they stood up and lowered their heads. “Good morning, young master.”

“Listen, today Alic-“

“Young master, is it about her again? Just forget about her.” Said Ceth, my childhood friend.

“Yeah, I heard she almost killed someone yesterday.” Said Gian, also my childhood friend.

“Shut up! She would never do that!” Yeah, she’s violent, but she would never kill someone unless the situation calls for it.

With a serious expression, Ceth said. “Young master, we know you like her, but she’s too dangerous. You need to give up on her.”

“Say something bad about her one more time and I’ll kick your parents out of the mansion.”

“We’re only worried about you.”

I kicked the door of the rooftop and went down. Tsk, those two know nothing about her, how could they talk about her like that? Sure, I don’t know much, but I’m sure she’s not that kind of person.

Che, those good for nothing friends, and here I thought they could help me get Alice’s attention.

While walking back to my dorm, I saw a group of delinquents cutting class like me. I ignored them and continued walking, but then I heard them mention Alice’s name. I walked closer to the four seated on the corridor of the dorm’s second floor.

“Man, to think she’s would go as far as to kill.”

“You can never judge a person by her looks huh?”

“But she looks hot, if only she had a more likable attitude.”

“Hehehe, attitude aside, don’t you think her chest is great?”

The other three nodded at the same time.

“They’re big and firm, I really want to touch the-“

I could no longer stay quiet, so I showed up and said. “You have a lot of guts to talk about my woman.” I then beat all of them up and tied them together.

“Flarza!”

After yelling, my servant showed up from the higher floors. The four stiffened as they looked at me and the my servant, the fire bird.

I knelt and look them in the eye. “If you ever talk about her behind my back, I swear I’ll burn you and every relative you have. Understand?”

“Hiiii p-please spare us.”

I punched the man who spoke in the face and said. “That isn’t what I asked you, are you deaf?”

He moved his head sideways to reply, but just looking at him made me irritated, so I punched him again.

How dare he say her name and have lustful thoughts about her, only I am aloud to do that. “Oi, remember this, if you ever say her name again, I and the whole Edna family will be your enemy.” I beat them up again because I hate them.

Feeling refreshed after releasing all of my stress, my servant and I entered my dorm.

After entering, I took a book from my room and read it on the living room. The book’s title is ‘how to make a woman fall in love with you’, it’s a book I bought yesterday and I’ve been reading it since then.

I’m completely serious about her, so I’ll do everything to make her like me. This is the first time I’ve been obsessed in something other than rejecting my brother’s ideals, and it’s all her fault. If she didn’t show up, if I didn’t meet her, then my brain wouldn’t be filled with thoughts about her....

Tsk, why is it taking so much effort to make her like me? And why isn’t she noticing my efforts? It took seventy percent of my allowance just to buy supplements for her! I even go to class just to be with her, so why doesn’t she like me?

I’m from the Edna family, so isn’t she supposed to like me automatically? Why does she make make my heart beat like this? Why does she always show up in my mind? WHY AM I SO HAPPY WHEN I’M WITH HER? “DAMN IT! ALICE I LIKE YOU! BE MINE ALREADY!”

Confused about my behavior, my servant tilted his head to the side. “Kraaa?”

Vinea’s POV:

I sense a disturbance in the force, an enemy? Good thing I made little Rowen wear victory boxers today, he won’t lose!
