Returning to the Academy

Returning to the Academy

I folded the letter and hid it in my magical bag while I laid back down on the bed... The sheets are gone... Oh yeah, she took the bloodied sheet and kept it.

It has already been 3 and a half months that I've been staying here and a lot has happened... I met blue, fought off an entire wolf pack, received a dragon king's inheritance, and cured Blue. All of it happened so fast... Ah dammit, it was just a few days since Blue left and I already miss her.

And so in order to take my mind off of it, I climbed up the mountain and farmed in the 3/8 area of the mountain. Raising my level up to 128 for 2 months and finally left the mountain heading back to the Academy, I did a quick status check before leaving

When I finally returned to my dorm, it was the same as before. I collapsed on the bed tried to take a quick nap.

"Master?! Is that you?! " I heard a voice come from the door

"Oh, hey Arachne did you miss me? "

The moment I said that Arachne rushed at me and hugged me tight.

"Master... Why didn't you bring me along?! " She kept saying it while sobbing while the door slammed open again and this time Mira came in

"Master Lyan... Welcome home "Mira said as she smiled

"Yeah... I'm back! " After being alone for 2 months on the mountain and being greeted back home was a warm feeling

"Master... I smell another woman's scent on you! " Arachne said as she sniffed my chest

My smile froze and Mira's face darkened, And Arachne? Well, How did she smell Blue's scent from me is she part bloodhound?

The happy and joyful mood just turned cold, my smile was frozen Mira also has a very... Threatening smile and Arachne was pouting with her puffed up cheeks. Honestly, this scene was quite funny if seen from a 3rd party, they might even find it cute, but from my perspective, I feel like I'm gonna be slaughtered and that will not be funny.

But luckily after my return, I was quickly called back to the principal's office which saved me from the two women

"Hi Mrs. Principal " I greeted the principal

"So formal... Ok, I'll get straight to the point, Whats your level now? " She lazily replied

"128" since she was frank, I also bluntly replied

"Are you a monster?! " she was laying back on her recliner but immediately stood up upon hearing my reply

"Will killing me bring you magic stones?" [Lyan]

"No, we might suffer a loss though" The principal replied as she scratched her cheek

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

"Heh" can't help but feel smug thanks to those words

"Ok don't be arrogant now... We seem to have stumbled upon a major problem... " The principal said

"What? " I had a bad feeling

"Mrs. Principal here made a stupid bet when the rules for the first years in the battle royale turned from 1 on 1 to team vs team" Ms.Lucia came in and informed

"Don't tell me that bet is... "

"Yup, we're only gonna send you" The  Principal answered with a teehee face

"Is it too late to back down? "I facepalmed and looked at her while saying...

"Hahaha no backing down now, don't worry each team is composed of 5 people and their levels range from

70-80. The highest I've seen is only 86 so don't worry! " She said as she patted my shoulders

"If I'm gonna do this I'll need a compensation. " Well since there's no turning back I've gotta get at least get something out of it

"Oi didn't we agree you'd participate in exchange for 5 and a half months of fun?! " The principal complained

"It wasn't fun!, I almost died several times!, and besides I only agreed to participate not to win! " I won't let myself get advantaged off

"Then... What do you want? " The Principal was clearly shocked... She grit her teeth while forcing to say

"Half of what you'll be getting in the bet! Nothing less! " I don't know what was the bet.

"You!!.. "Mrs. Principal didn't like my offer

"Oh, Lyan wanna know the bet's prize? "Ms. Lucia said in a playful voice, looks like she wants to get back at her mother.

"Yea sure" I quickly replied

"500000 gold coins and a little mansion " Ms.Lucia replied with a smile, a kind, and innocent smile

"Lucia! How could you betray your mom?! " The principal was betrayed by her own subordinate/daughter

"Who told you to go eat my pudding, puke on my bed and throw my p-pant... Underwear all over the town! " Ms.Lucia rebuked with a red face

Wow, Mrs. Sasha, you fucked up

"I was drunk!! " The Principal didn't seem like she regretted her actions though

"And I am angry, Lyan can I get some of it? "Asked Ms. Lucia with a smile while breaking her mother's heart

"Sure... You can keep 250000, while I keep the mansion" I replied while delivering the finishing blow

"You two... Are demons" Mrs. Principal said grudgingly

"Ohoh what do you mean? "Mrs. Lucia asked with a sparkling smile and flowery background

"Tch... I won't accept tho-" Clearly The principal wasn't going to take this lying down

"Oh my, remember if you lose you have to... " before the principal could finish her words Mrs. Lucia stopped her

"I accept, I definitely accept! " The principal said while covered in cold sweat.

Wonder what scared the principal so much

I then went to the dorms and cooked dinner with Mira and Arachne, Mira's chopping the vegetables so fast, while Arachne couldn't properly use a knife.

She was hacking at demonic rabbit I brought home like a butcher.

After cooking Rabbit stew and Roasted Rabbit, Arachne told me lots of stories of what happened when I was gone.

I also noticed something weird with Arachne's Hair. The outside was black while the inside was dark purple, like that character in the anime... What was her name again... Oh yeah her name was stockings from the anime Panty and Stocking.

Her eyes also turned purple, I asked her about it but she said it started changing 2 months after I left.

After eating dinner and washing the plates Arachne slept with me on the bed while Mira who tried to pull Arachne with all her strength went to the girl's dorm to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up to Arachne nibbling my arm while asleep. Old habits die hard huh.

I gently woke up Arachne before exercising and cooking food, this time Arachne also helped. When it was time to eat breakfast the door opened and Mira came in to join as well, luckily there was enough for all of us.

"Mira... You have a communication stone connected with mom's and dad's right? " I said blankly while thinking of Blue, should I tell them or just surprise them?

"Yes, does master need it? " she replied, I think its better if I surprise them.

"Yea, just want to check on them before I attend the battle royale." I haven't been sending them letters for 6 months. They might be worried sick

"Then.., here you go master" she handed me an Azure colored cube the size of a hand after looking through her Magic bag.

I took the cube and thanked her before going to the bedroom.

Communication stones were very expensive especially this kind which was reusable and could reach long distances. The usually used was a communication scroll but it could only be used once.

Sparks flew after I injected my mana into the cube.

At first, it was static but after a few minutes it formed a hologram, both my parents were on the other side.
