Chapter 508 Another Surprise
[Eon's POV: ]
My answer was unique and he liked it so now, it was time for introductions. But before that came the elemental affinity check.
And though it was pretty easy to deceive the artifact, just like how Rein did and hid her unparalleled affinity with the darkness attribute, there was a little problem in my case.
[[ *Master, better go with the basic option instead of showing them nothing. That would be more suspicious and that vampire already has a faint idea so revealing the fact that you can manipulate this artifact would be a bad idea.
We can't show them all the affinities but showing the six main ones should be fine.
You can delay the use of magic that way.* ]]
That was Lucy's suggestion and yes, I was considering the same thing.
-Ooooooong.
Rein had darkness and water attribute affinities and even in that the darkness attribute affinity was so great that it was even greater than my six attribute affinities.
Hiding that much was pretty easy if we knew how this artifact worked and had good control over our Mana but that was also only possible thanks to our unique physiques.
She could do it pretty easily while on the other hand, I had a balanced affinity for all six major attributes and thanks to that, I also had a good affinity with all their higher forms, as well as many elemental affinities that I had built on my own.
And that wasn't all as we had to count in Solnova, something that not even the headmaster had any great knowledge about.
Thanks to my unreal affinity with Solnova, I also had an affinity with many elements of nature, especially the things that had some form of relationship with the Sun.
So, I had many affinities and in normal circumstances, this orb would have glowed with all possibilities colors it could, and if I had tried blocking any elemental affinity that was related to the six mahjong ones, then there could have been some imbalance and the entire thing might have crashed.
Lucy's opinion in this matter was useful, so just as she suggested, I only showed the necessary part and covered my face with a sad expression as the entire class looked at the glass orb glowing with six bright colors.
"Lucifer, a [Rank-3] knight, specifically an archer, and as you can see, I'm one of those unlucky ones liked by all six elemental attributes.
There is a chance that I will die if I awaken a Mana nucleus so I can't use Mana in the usual way.
I know there is little chance that I will be able to achieve this but still, I dream to be a magic archer. And no, even with the dangers, I have faith that I can achieve this little, absurd, funny, but still, possible dream of mine.
And right, this lady here is my fiancée and I have lived with her for a long time now, so I can clearly say that she is a little crazy. But by some miracle, she listens to me and my little requests.
So, please practice caution around her and please inform me if she does anything to you.
I will make sure to scold her properly."
I bowed down to him and proceeded to sit down however, as soon as I sat down, his voice entered my ears.
"What classes are you taking Lucifer? Aside from the superior ones."
"Sir Jamie's high magic theory class, Lady Cleo's cooking class, and Master Zarathurielm's all energy utilization class, sir," I answered while looking at him with a little curious but calm face and he smiled deeply at my reaction.
"All three of them still scold me sometimes saying the children of the present are far better than me when I was a student.
Haha. Good picks. I wish you good luck on your journey. And come to me any time if you ever need help.
The same goes for you all.
And snap out of your daze. Don't act like you are seeing someone with a six-elemental affinity for the first time.
Yes, they are rare but a few of your teachers in the academy also have an affinity with six major elements as well as many other higher forms of elements.
He has such a major weakness and he is still a pretty high-ranking knight that can use Aura so learn something from him and sit properly.
Let's finish this quickly or else we would have to make your next teacher wait."
-Tap, tap, tap.
"Alright, Geode. What is Mana how are the elemental affinities related to it?"
And the class continued after that as I put my head on the table like the girl beside me and we looked at each other and talked just talked about some game stuff.
'We have to get a Maginet for Quin.' She said with her eyes and I nodded lightly.
'Yup. Let's do that after tomorrow's classes.'
'Will she like <NO>?'
'You eventually liked it so there is no reason she wouldn't. And she is calm and thinks before doing things unlike you so she will have good fun.'
'You understand you are cursing your fiancee and praising some other girl before her right?'
'Of course I do but I'm just stating facts.'
'Facts hmm? Facts.'
"Ouch! Oyy."
She pinched me out of nowhere. This difficult girl…!
Thankfully, only the ones sitting on the same seat as us noticed this and were shaking their heads with variant emotions.
The teacher was wrapping up things and the first attendance and introductions were complete.
It was time for his departure too so he put his diary back and looked around the class for the last time.
"Thanks for this good first-class everyone.
We will start our main topics tomorrow so make sure to bring your books if you want and even if you don't want them, don't forget to bring a notebook and something to write on it."
-Snap!
He snapped again, and the three bats he had summoned at the start of our class vanished after giving him his crystal ball back.
"See you tomorrow."
And saying that, he started floating again and want out of the class.
-Whaheheheykolmeshhh…
And as soon as he left the class, the classroom became cheerful again as people started talking about how the class was, about the teacher, about the other students, about us, and while some came up to us and Alpha, some quickly checked the academy forums through their stars and looked at our current schedule.
"Shit man… it's society, culture, and history."
Someone said in a saddened voice and as soon as others heard his cry, there was also a gloomy expression on many of their faces.
And one of the sad people that didn't like these subjects was the one sitting beside me. My cute little fiancee.
"Why must we have to study something like that…?"
She really didn't like social subjects like them and, seeing from the perspective of high society that knew her as the representative of Atraxia, she was already someone who was a master of these subjects so it was even more boring for her to learn what she already knew a gooooood lot about.
But there was nothing for her to worry about.
[[ "The one teaching us will be Lady Adela. You already know who she is so don't be sad just yet. If she is the one teaching this class, it would be more than enough fun." ]]
"But still…"
[[ "Don't worry we will have the basic magic and weapon understanding class after that. And from how infamous Sir Frór is, I think we will most likely be going to the practical grounds." ]]
"Him?! Really~? Yeiii~!"
She shouted cheerfully and just then, we all saw a new figure walking in the room, stealing all the light and attention, as well as many hearts and breaths from the young adults in the room.
"Mornin' children."
A new teacher walked in and this time, she was a mature lady, wearing an attractive dress that caught the attention of many young males in the room, her long wavy hair danced with every step she took so their hearts also flattered with her every move.
And as she stopped on the stage before the blackboard, her deep creamy hair stopped their alluring dance and her unique blue and green eyes moved around the big classroom, observing the young ones that she would be teaching.
"I'm Adela but you all can call me Miss, or big sister, or probably Aunty if you want.
Teacher would be fine too however when we are outside the class, I am not your teacher. Just remember that much.
I will be taking your society, culture, and history class, one of the most boring ones I know. But don't be too discouraged. We will make it fun."
She was only smiling lightly and still, many of the students, boys and girls alike had their hearts raising at her every word.
She was attractive on her own and her bewitching beauty was not a result of her high charm stat but the natural way she maintained herself.
She was a human, a unique person, and though she was only a low-ranking mage, she had something none in this class possessed.
'And that was superior knowledge and worldly experience.'
She was an archduchess from the second most powerful empire on our continent and someone that was simply intelligent and fond of history and the past.
Some of the most well-known archeologists, one of the greatest anthropologists, and also one of the pillars of the continental high society.
'The [Empyrean pearl] of Mason, Duchess Adela Ozker Nile De Artoc Grinever. Someone that will definitely make this not as much boring class, bearable and fun for the children and this little Uriel of mine.'
