"Headmaster, what is the m-meaning of this?!” Angelica was startled upon hearing what Lyle call Moori. “D-darling te, D-don’t tell me….. Ho-how Sh-shameless!”

“Will you stop it with that kind of misunderstanding, please? Me and that brat have no such relationship.” Moori defended quickly.

“Yeah, that’s right! Little girl, don’t underestimate our relationship, okay! Darling and I only have Master-Slave relationship. Of course, I’m the slave and she is the master, right Darling?”

“That’s right, that’s right! He is my mas … EH?! NO, that’s not right, you damn brat!”

Hearing that sudden and nonsensical statement, Moori had panicked while doing a tsukkomi.

“I don’t want to be called ‘Little girl’ by you!”

Angelica raised her voice accompanied by bluish sparks flew. After taking some deep breaths, Angelica finally calmed down and then she looked straight at Lyle and asked him this: “What are you?”

The look in her eyes was serious. Hearing such strange question, Lyle let out a big sigh.

“I don’t really know what to say when you ask me that … should I say 'Hi actually I'm from planet mars. I'm a Martian nice to meet you!' or 'I'm the only one remaining from planet krypton. I'm superman!' I will let you pick what you want to hear~"

"Stop joking! I'm serious! There's no human in this world who could do something like what you did back there in the forest!"

"Well, what can I say I’m just me. Nothing more, nothing less … I’m just like I said earlier, Darling is my master and I’m her slave”

Unperturbed by Angelica's threatening scowl, Lyle calmly said while smiling wryly.

“Just drop that already, you stupid ki---”

“Don’t try to deny it. There should not be any way for a twelve year old student like you to defeat an S-rank monster so easily … And what’s more, you are not equipped with any sort of high-level Artifact and I don’t know how but it also seemed that you are close with the Headmaster!” Angelica stressed that fact, to which Lyle didn’t have anything to say.

“Just who are you!”

“Ehem, Angelica, can you stop poking your nose on it? No I want you to stop and forget what you saw and heard here.”

“But … ”

"Angelica Strauss."

To that calm tone of voice, Angelica's shoulders trembled.

"Do I need to repeat what I am saying twice?"

"Um, I apologize!" With her voice trembling, Angelica nodded.

“Oh well, just wait Darling. Really now, there’s no need to wear that scary face, isn’t it!” Lyle steps in front of the trembling girl, and grin.

“Didn’t I tell you stop calling me ‘Darling’ Haa~ I’m doing this for you, you know!”

“I see” Pleased by her words, Lyle smiled with a very noticeable happiness welled inside it.

“I’m really grateful but, if it badly affects your position then I want you to forget it. Don’t forget you are the Academy

Headmaster and I’m just a nobody in here. In the first place this is just my own selfishness so don’t put yourself in a bad situation just because of me! Okay?”

Sensing that this situation is becoming worst especially regarding Moori’s position, Lyle couldn’t allow it to continue any longer.

“……..fine!” While saying so, Moori grumpily returned to her sit.

Lyle turned around and faced the still stiff Angelica and called her. “Biri-Biri!”

“Who are you calling ‘Biri-Biri’?!” Angelica unconsciously retorted as her face turned bright red and started to scowl at him.

“Hm? Isn’t that obvious?” Lyle replied while tilting his head as if asking ‘You don’t know why? impossible!’

“Well, you see, you look like a brown-haired girl from a certain story I’ve read a long time ago, you know!” Lyle said in a very normal and casual way like stating a universal truth.

“As if that’s obvious! Are you an idiot?”

“Wait, wait! Just calm down will you” Lyle waved his hands in front of him.

“Although, it’s not really necessary to hide my identity, I just can’t casually tell you who I am because it’s………..” Lyle stopped as if reconsidering whether he should tell her honestly or not.

“It’s?”

“It’s … a major pain, really I find it troublesome if someone knew who I really am, get it? So can you please just forget about me? Although I doubt we will see each other again though!”

He said not knowing he just dig his own grave back in the classroom. He didn’t realize the full extent of his actions that set the whole academy ablaze with anger and jealousy.

“Wha-!” Angelica couldn’t believe what he said.

She was overwhelmed by anger that she unconsciously shouted “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING!? I-It’s not like I wanted see you, idiot! But are you saying you won’t take responsibility?”

“You’re still saying that?”

Lyle listened to her before giving a disapproving sigh: “You know what, Haa~ listen to me little girl, to impregnate a woman, a very special action must be done. You know, stabbing, stabbing actions with 'Poof!' sound ... wala, finished~

Holding hands isn’t enough for that. You’re already fourteen years old and yet you still don’t know these things? Oh my god! just how pure are the girls in this world.” While saying so, Lyle exaggeratedly shrugged his shoulders while shaking his head, left and right.

Angelica as if struck by a bolt of lightning, was stunned silly and can only stare at him in daze.

“As if a boy like you can understand it, right Headmaster?”

She tried to ask for help from the dean but all she get is a smile while looking at her pitifully. Now realizing the truth, her body was trembling coupled with dangerous sparks.

“Oi, Biri-Biri stops that! It’s dangerous you know!”

“SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!” Overwhelmed by embarrassment, Angelica snapped. She won’t listen to anyone and only keeps emitting bluish electric sparks while crying.

“Oh come on~”

Lyle approached her, not minding the electric sparks, and patted her head.

She stopped crying and looked at him with tears flowing in her eyes.

He smiled.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

“Don’t be embarrassed with something like this. Although you’re also cute when you cry but I still prefer if you always smile. Having experienced embarrassment in your life means you live a wonderful youth so don’t be shy and be proud. And most importantly now you know you’re mistaken, right? Now, wipe those tears and smile for me, babe”

“Eh? Ah, Um, c-cute?, wah! Are you an idiot? No you’re really an idiot! D-don’t call me c-cute! I hate you! Who are you calling b-babe? I'm not your babe!”

“Hahaha now that’s better, Biri-Biri!”

“Don’t call me like that, Idiooooot!”

Although she said that, her voice contained not a single hint of displeasure. The atmosphere now reverted back to normal.

"Angelica and you as well brat, if you have no business left, you can go now. It's unpleasant to have people flirt in front of my eyes." Moori’s voice with a hint of displeasure echoed in the room.

On the surface, it looked like she was calm and unperturbed but the sour smell that she was emitting could even be smelled outside the room.

She might not have fallen in love with this foolish and shameless young man but any girl would feel a little jealous seeing the excellent man that knocked in the door of their closed maiden hearts shamelessly flirting with another girl in front of them.

“Wha-! What are you saying; I’m not flirting with him! I, I ….”

“I don’t care, can you leave now? I still have something I need to do. You’re disturbing me!”

“Eh, ah y-yes!” Angelica flustered went on to bid her farewell and leave but just as she was about to, she was called by Moori and said,

“Angelica-san, what happened here, as well as the things about that troublesome little monster must be kept a secret. I don’t really want to tell you the specifics but even though that brat said it’s not necessary, but if somehow someone knew his capabilities … I don’t think I need to tell you what will happen now, right?”

“I-I see, I understand.” She replied.

After that, Angelica then left the room, leaving Lyle and Moori inside.

“I thought I told you to leave too?”

“Hm? Me hahaha I didn’t hear my name being called.”

Lyle casually said while walking towards the sofa beside the window. “But still ….”

“What?”

“You don’t need to tell her that, you know! Even including the whole world, that’s too much of a level isn’t it? Haa~

This is just my own little selfishness I asked from my father. World is just too much of scale isn't it?”

“You! ... You really have no idea how that ridiculous powers of yours can affect the whole world, aren’t you?.”

“Whole world? Haha no, no. Don’t you know how big the world is? I’m just a tiny speck of it. I can’t possibly affect it. Whole world? Haha impossible!”

“You’re underestimating yourself too much!”

“Maybe, well so much for that! Tell me directly why you are helping me? Although I’m very grateful but this is the first time we’ve met. And yet you’re favoring someone like me, to the point of endangering your position. Why is that?

Don’t lie to me saying because a king asked you to! This academy can be called a different country, no kingdom can used it for their own purpose, so why?”

He lay down on the sofa while smiling wryly.

“Hm… well, can’t be helped. What I said a little while ago is the truth but the main reason is that I have a huge debt from your father and by helping you, mean I can repay it little by little then…”

“I see” He said nodding. “Not that I care though!”

“You’re such a … … never mind!” Giving up, she stopped what she’s saying while shaking her head. “

If that’s what you wanted to know then, can you leave; I still have something to do … ”

She was expecting a reply but no such thing had happened. Curious why, she stood up and approached him. But she was left dumbfounded when she saw him quietly sleeping with an innocent face in the sofa.

zzzZZZZZZZZZ

“So fast!” She unconsciously retorted. “Not that, hey wake up, you still have classes this afternoon.” She said while shaking his body to wake him up.

“Hm? Darling? I don’t want to *yawn* I’m tired … Let me sleep *yawn* I'll just give you a kiss if you let me sleep ... you want ?” He said with half-opened eyes. “Oh right, can you say something to teacher Mirin, It’s too troublesome if she too became suspicious of me *yawn* thank you in advance and Good night!”

“It’s still morning you damn brat! And I don't need that K-kiss!!” She retorted but it was no use because he had already departed towards the land of dreams.

“Haa~ you’re really giving me so much headache you know! But strange ... I can’t seem to hate you, hahaha I’m an idiot!” She said while gently caressing his hair. “Sweet dreams, my little monster!”

Unfortunately Lyle didn’t hear that as he was already unconscious.

***********

- In a certain mansion –

“Did it succeeded?” The man asks while sitting comfortably in his chair. In front of him was another man wearing a red robe.

“Yes, master! There is a reaction inside the academy when we sent the Minotaur there.” The man answered.

“Good! We must find the four seals immediately; ‘They’ are becoming impatient. We must free our ‘god’ and rejoice for the coming apocalypse.”

“As you wish master… but there is something bothering me”

“What is it?”

“The report said that, the Minotaur we sent was defeated by an unknown serpent-like crimson dragon that appeared out of nowhere!”

“Ah, I also read it. Do you already investigate where that came from?”

“Yes, but we can’t find anything because of insufficient information!”

“Hm…. Investigate it carefully but take priority on breaking that detestable seal, understand?”

“As you wish!”

After saying that, the man in red robe vanished in thin air, leaving the man alone inside the room.

“We must succeed in reviving our ‘god’ we must reclaim our lost glory no matter what happened! Even if it means sacrificing all the people in the whole continent.”
