Chapter 10: Night
(Grandielf)
I’m sorry Zeff, but I hope you’ll forgive me for going against you this once…
Those eyes…
They aren’t from this world for sure. There are no eyes in this world with a scale in it, and when I saw it… I felt like they could see through everything. Within those eyes, I could also sense an unmeasurable power hidden underneath, one that I’m sure is extremely powerful.
And even though I was in perfect stealth, those eyes makes me question whether they noticed me or not, but one thing is for sure. They knew they were being watched and yet they did not take any action…
…
They are arrogant...
I probably have only one chance to destroy them. Even if I die, I’ll have to convince the Five Elders to use that orb to summon Daeneries, because they are that dangerous…

(Hallway inside the main academy building)
*Sigh* I’ve been wandering around this stupid building for a while, but I still can’t find the god dam door out!
The sky’s already dark, so the cafeteria should be closed by now…
*Sigh*
“You two over there, Stop!”
Huh?
As I turned around, I saw a little girl wearing a blazer and skirt around 14 walking towards me with a rapier drawn.
Wait…
Is that a rapier!?
Are weapons allowed in this academy?
“HEY! I’m talking to you!”
“Ah, I’m sorry, I was thinking of something. May I ask what you want?”
“Humph, demon scum. Get out of the academy or I’ll kill you here and now!”
Isn’t this person jumping to conclusions too easily?
And isn’t that punishment a little harsh to demons?
“I’m not a demon you know.”
“Hmph, you might not be a demon, but you hang out with one, so it doesn’t make you any better!”
I hang out with one?
…
Does she mean Yuiitsu?
Looking towards Yuiitsu, I just see a pretty human girl. There’s no part of her that makes her look like a demon?
Then again, I don’t even know what demons look like in this world.
“Why is my friend considered a demon?”
“Humph, don’t act dumb with me, everyone knows demons have black hair with red eyes and although both of you have your eyes closed, her hair’s black. This means she must be a demon pretending to be human!”
“Can’t humans have black hair?”
“Only humans that learn black magic and its considered illegal in the human kingdom, when found its instant death sentence!”
So she’ll see me as either a criminal or demon huh? And if I pick either one, she’ll kill me…
*Sigh* so troublesome
“She’s not a demon, she’s my twin sister. She was cursed and now her hair is black.”
“… Show me your eyes, if it’s not red, I’ll believe you…”
…
Should I…
As I opened my eyes with Yuiitsu, I used Sei to quickly explain.
“She can’t talk because of the curse, and as you can see from her eyes, something was done to her.”
After seeing Yuiitsu’s eyes, the girl just stood there with a shocked face and stared in silence.
Although I had a straight face, on the inside, I was screaming please believe my lie!
I seriously have no other ideas at this moment. The only other idea was finding the headmaster, and asking him to make some lie up, but I can’t find a way out of this building, much less find the headmaster.
Then again, there’s the option of killing her, but that’s not going to help disguise Yuiitsu’s hair in the future and the headmaster’s promise…
Wait, I can also knock her out! That also works.
“Seeing as how you two look so similar, your different hair colours, as well as her eyes, I’ll believe she’s not a demon. But how do I know she didn’t become like that after learning dark magic?”
Dammit, she’s sharp…
Sorry, please don’t blame me for this,
And right when I used [Speed] to increase my movement speed,
The headmaster teleported in from the side of the wall,
“I thought I specifically said, no magic in the hal…”
And when he saw me, his face instantly cramped,
“Hello”
“What… What’re you doing here?”
“Uh… I kind of, might of gotten a bit lost…”
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
I feel so embarrassed right now I could literally feel my face turning red… I haven’t gotten lost since elementary school!
Seeing my reaction, the headmaster was also a bit stunned
“Right, probably should’ve told you, the only entrance and exits are on the second floor.”
…
What…
What kind of building only has entrances on the second floor!
Why don’t you guys put any on the first floor!?
Do you know how embarrassing it feels to admit a mistake like this in front of others!
I could literally feel my anger boiling and my face turning red, not from shame this time, but rage!
I wasted around an hour god dammit!
“Headmaster, you know them?”
“Huh? Oh if it isn’t Miss Zeifrei, on your daily after hour patrols I see.”
“Yes sir, and I found these suspicious individuals on the school grounds, and that one over there seems to be a dark mage.”
“Dark mage?”
As the headmaster turned around to look at us, he suddenly had a realization.
“Ah! Miss Zeifrei, she is not a dark mage!”
“Oh? So she truly was cursed? Then what are they doing here after hours if not coming to find live sacrifices for her dark magic?”
…
Dark magic sacrifice people?
Are we talking about the same dark magic here? The dark spells I have don’t need any live sacrifices.
“She’s here because she got lost, she’s going to be a new transfer student starting tomorrow, so please take care of her.”
“I see… Then I guess it’s fine, but she’ll still be punished for using magic on the school grounds without permission.”
“Ah, I forgot to tell her the rules, so please overlook this once Miss Zeifrei.”
“*Sigh* Yes, sir.”
And with that, she walked away, but not before giving me one last hateful glare.
Hey! What did I do!?
Turning my face away from her leaving back, I could see Zeff seriously looking at me.
“So why were you going to use magic…”
“…I was going to knock her out before running away…”
“…”
“What?”
“What would you do after knocking the king’s royal guard captain’s daughter out?”
“Runaway of course.”
“…”
What do you expect me to do? Stand there and wait to be punished? Some people these days are so stupid.
“Are you sure you’re not a child?”
“Are you sure you’re not an idiot?”
“Haha”
“Humph”
“Coming from the one that got lost?”
“…your childish…”
“HAHA! Well, since there’s nothing else you need, I’ll be taking my leave.”
As I leave the building, I saw the girl called Zeifrei standing outside the door by the wall,
When she saw me, she instantly pulled out her rapier again and pointed it at me.
“What are you two?”
Huh!?
“What do you mean”
“Don’t try to act dumb with me” and suddenly she leaped pointing the rapier’s tip towards Yuiitsu’s throat,
As she was just about to hit Yuiitsu’s throat, I used Sei to pull Yuiitsu out of the way and seeing my movement, she suddenly slashed sideways with even more force than before, but I already jumped down the stairs and started to walk away.
There’re times when you should fight and there are times you should run and since I shouldn’t hurt the students, this time should run, but if I’m going to run, I want to at least look cool while doing it.
I mean seriously, running away look cowardly, but walking away slowly looks cool!
Seeing me walk away, she started to run at me with the rapier
“GET BACK HERE!”
NOPE! RUN! SCREW LOOKING COOL!
“**** JUST WAIT TILL I CATCH YOU TWO!”
WHY WOULD I WAIT IDIOT!
---
Hiding in a flower bed, no one will suspect a thing!
After around an hour, I slowly got up from the flower bed in the garden
“*Sigh* I hope I lost that annoying girl“
“Huh? Who are you?”
Eh?
Turning around, I saw a little boy with a scholar like look. He had snake like eyes, two black horns on his head, a full head of black hair that moves like water and pale white skin. On his back was a lizard tail and a pair of wings formed from the same material as his hair.
