What is "Love"

Chapter 2

  When we got home from our vacations, i asked my dad to train me on how to fight and uses magic properly so that i would be stronger. I didn't want to show my weakness to that girl when we meet again someday.

    I can't let others see my weak side too because i'm the only heir to my family. It is also to protect the honor of my family, the only family that have the "Duke" position in the kingdom.

  My dad, Duke William Zane have the highest authority in the kingdom after the king and queen. Many loves him but when there is light there will also be shadows. So i want to train myself properly to be able to protect this family if one day my father couldn't protect it anymore.

  Luckily my dad could feel my willpower when i ask him to train me. He gave me a library full of books related to magic arts and mana related books. He also guided me on how to fight using fists and how to fight using weapons.

    He also teaches me on how to handle mana properly and how to absorb mana to my body.
I trained day and night with my father. If my father have something urgent i trained by myself and i also learned some ethics and some basic knowledge.

.....

  Seven years have passed, i definitely could feel myself stronger than before. I have finished reading all the books in the library and understands all sorts of magic arts and mana forms.

  My dad forced me to go to school so that i could enjoy my youth a little bit. My dad assigned me to a normal magic highschool. I asks him to hide my background so that i didn't get all sorts of attention towards me.

.....

A week have passed, this is my first day going to school. I noticed that i have grow taller than before. I tied my brown long hair a bit before going to school. The uniform itself seems quite nice. A black shirt with a yellow necktie with a set of white suit laced with golden strips at the collar and arm.

  I walked through the main gate and asks for the nearby guard to guide me to the teachers' room. I didn't get any special treatment from the teachers and the guards cause only the principal know my true identity.

  As i walked inside the teachers' room i saw the principal and the principal shows me to my homeroom teacher. It is a woman on his late 20s, her name is Claudia. She guided me to my classroom. She went in first to notify the students that a transfer student have transferred into that class.

"You may enter now" says Claudia.

  I walked in confidently and bowed my head. Thus i started my introduction.

  "My name is Alex, my hobby is reading, please take care of me" is what i said, but my real name is Prince Alexandre Zane, well they wouldn't suspect anything because Alex is a very famous name.

  "You may take that sit over there Alex" Says Claudia while pointing on the empty chair beside the window.

  I went to my seat and sit down silently. There is no one beside me too. The back row is completely empty but it is better this way. The teacher started to teach and i should focus on the study too.

  ......

  After the lunch bell rang. Suddenly a bunch of people come swarming onto me, i'm a little surprised and raise my guard but turns out they just want to be friends with me. After a little bit of talking i take my leave to go eat.

  The canteen is quite small compared to what i expected but it's okay considering the type of school this is. I queued and buy the lunch, i must say that the food is so cheap here compared to the restaurants that i always go, well the taste isn't that great but i guess it is as expected from the price.

     When i returned back to the class the lunch break is almost over, so i hurriedly took my seat. After some time finally the teacher come. The teacher said that there is a new transfer student. All of the students are confused, why is at this time? all of us questions the same question but none of us could ask the teacher.

    As the new transfer student walks in, all the students are admired by the beauty of the transfer student, except for me. That transfer student, could it be that girl from that time. Her beautiful black hair, her purple eyes that is so charming. It is her. Yes it must be her, but.... how?
