Closing the bathroom door, Aether took off his nightgown and walked into the shower. The water slowly make their way down from his hair to his collarbone. Closing his eyes, he felt the water covers his face. Suddenly, the image of him being soaked and his whole upper half was see by the prince immerse itself. Shaking his head violently. He slapped his face and finished his shower.

Getting out, you heard Nell yelled that the uniform is on the couch. Drying himself, he walked out of the bathroom.

When Nell turned back after getting Aether's bag ready was the image of a young man with creamy white skin who have nothing other than a towel over his private area and a towel over his head. Water still dripping from his hair, down to his face and collarbone.. and down to his chest. Outlining the soft looking body.

Shocked at such scene, Nell found that Aether didn't care.

"Young master.. do you normally do this with Emily too..?" Nell wondered.. if that happens... who knows what he might do.

Hearing the question, Aether jolted and almost forgot. Nell is Emily's boyfriend!! If he did do this when Emil took care of him, he'll be dead under Nell's hand for sure!! But he liked Nell and Emily!! They were both nice characters in the game so he refuse to let them down.

Looking straight at Nell's eyes, Aether reply cooly. "Of course not, it's because your a boy too so I thought I don't have to bother. And normally, Emily go out of the room when I get dress so."

"Oh.."

Phew, that was close! Aether thought.
Wouldn't want their relationship to be broken!! It was one of his favorite too!!

Putting on his clothes, Aether dried his hair with a towel.

"Nell, can you bring my breakfast up here?"

"Of course young master." Nell replied and immediately carried out the order.

Wow~ unlike the knights of the Favonious!! So efficient!!

Breakfast was chowed down by Aether and soon, he found himself once again in front of the classroom. The same one where he got soaked.

Walking in, he could felt their gazes glued on him just like before. Even before he got to the classroom, he got some people staring at him. Some with jealousy, admiration, curiosity, but of course, the one he got the most was disgusted. I mean after all, the abandoned one got protected by the prince!! Out of all people!! But I couldn't bother to care. Even if I did care, nothing would change.

Sitting down, acting like he doesn't care, Aether pulled out a sketchbook and started drawing. The gaze never cease as they watched him draw the entire time. This went on through the whole day.

Soon, gym once again started. We soon got into our group.

*clap* *clap*
"Ok everyone listen up!" Phill yelled.
"Today, we'll be looking at each other strengths and weaknesses. From then, you can see how you are going to cover up those weaknesses using other's strengths. Make sure you guys are working together and not observe the other teams to see their weaknesses. Because that might make you the weakest for not even knowing your teammates strengths." Phill finished his lecture and everyone started to spread out into different sections of the yard to battle with their team.

Turning my attention back to the group. Alexander and Kyle looked like they couldn't give this competition any fucks while Tom is fidgeting like crazy.

Can we really work together..?

Suddenly, Kyle turned around and walk to a corner of the yard, and Alexander followed. Not knowing what happening but seeing them walking away like that, I had no choice but to follow.

Are we gonna fight there? I wondered.

Reaching our destination, we stopped and Kyle walked over to Alexander. They both stand near the tree and stared back at me and Tom. I could feel the atmosphere dropping as the sound of Tom's breathing grew calmer and calmer.

What the hell is going on?

Suddenly, two wind blade were lunged at me at the speed of light. I reacted quickly. Rolling to the side, I pulled out two daggers and put on a battle stand.

It was Tom who pulled the move. Staring back, the timid Tom was no longer there but was replace with a sharp young man. His eyes narrowed, his lips squeeze close together. Looking closely, you could tell, Tom wasn't actually looking at me, but the two behind me instead.

"What is the meaning of this?!" I yelled, turning around to meet with the prince cold gaze. He looked straight into my eyes, as if he's trying to find something within.

There was no reply.

Two more wind blade came. But this time, I lunge forward, running at the enemy. Time to time, I rolled around to dodge the wind blades. But it was impossible to dodge all of them and some part of my clothes got ripped from the sharp blades that flying at me.

That was a close call. I thought. Most of the baldes don't actually hit me, but that doesn't mean I completely dodge them. Multiple times, I just barely made it.

This is truly unfair!! I don't have magic! And these blades are as fast as a bullet!! The fact that I'm dodging these are good enough! But from the look of this situation, the only way to stop Tom is by beating him. But how!!!!!

And how is he using Wind magic so well?! Isn't wind one of the hard ones where you have to control your breathing or something?! Only high level mage can use such high grade wind blades moves like these!! But how can a mob like Tom use these moves-?!

Wuwu!! Why are you being so mean to me world!! I've only been here for 3 days and both time I almost died!

Grinding my teeth, I glared at Tom. If only I have Earth magic! I could crear a giant wall and block out all these blades!! Ahhhh I wanna play with magic too!! So jealous!!!! I wailed in my head.

"Tch, this ain't fair.. y'all get to play with the cool stuff.." I muttered. Pouting.

Clutching my knife, I ran at Tom using top speed. Flipping one of my knife, I threw it at him. Tom reacted quickly and sent out a gushed of wind to stop the knife together with pushing me back, but I slide down on the grown and grab a handful of dirt hiding it behind my back. Using my other hand, I hid it behind me to look as if my next move would be my finishing move. And as expected, Tom fell for it. Moving backwards slightly, dodging the my knife. Then using his hand while faking back slightly, he chanted another wind blade.

"I won't let you!!" I yelled, throwing the dirt into his eyes.

Looking at the unexpected substance that got into his eyes, Tom fell down and using that opportunity, I dash forward and moved behind him. Using my leg, I immobilized him and use my knife and put it against his neck.

"Checkmate~" I hummed.

Then. The sound of clapping and footsteps slowly approached. Looking back up, it was Kyle and Alexander approaching.

"Splendid performance! I never knew you could pull of such sharp and calculate moves!!" Kyle praised.

I glared at him. Putting the knife closer to Tom's neck.

"Mind explaining?" I threatened.

"Not at all" Kyle smiled back.

This son of a bitch. That smile is so annoying.

Is what Aether thought. But if he saw his own mocking smile from the other world. He would find them both very similar.
