><><><><><

Akihide watched in amusement as Ais ran away from Riveria. Not two days into her studying and the girl was trying to get out of doing her studying. Riveria tried placing Akihide and Ais in the same study group, have them help each other though their pursuit of knowledge, which was basically just a refresher from last year for Akihide since he learnt all this already, and grow closer as a result. The only results from that particular endeavour was a bunch of name calling from Akihide and Ais, before Ais called Riveria an old hag and shit really hit the fan. Riveria had not been impressed, and Akihide looked like he was ready to throw hands for that insult against his mother.

They had gone over magical theory, and Ais had taken so many notes, out of a overwhelming feeling of fear and a sense of dread that she shouldn't dare defy Riveria when pissed off like this, or be punished severely. Ais had looked dead by the end of the lesson, and Akihide had stayed behind, sitting on Riveria's lap and going on about how he didn't think she was old, and how pretty she was. The elven princess appreciated the young boy trying to cheer her up, but she was no fool, and knew whilst a part of him did want to help cheer her up, he was much more interested in solidifying himself as the favourite child. It was cute, so Riveria pretended not to notice and she hugged the small boy.

Now, Ais was running away from Riveria to avoid another study session, the elven princess chasing the young girl around like a mother trying to find her spoilt brat. Akihide supposed the spoiled brat part fit well enough with Ais, she had gone into the Dungeon much earlier than he did, he had to wait a month due to their expedition, but she was still being a whiny child about it and not going along with what Riveria was ordering her to do. Akihide knew that the studying was important, it had helped him out a lot when he first started going into the Dungeon, along with the training Kaguya put him through, but both those needs were being fulfilled by Riveria and Gareth, who had begun to teach her how to do things. She would try to study with Akihide and Riveria in the mornings, and train with Gareth in the afternoon whilst Akihide went out on patrol with the Astraea Familia.

In all of two days since first meeting Ais, Akihide's opinion of the girls was at an all-time low. The girl mouthed off to anyone who tried to approach her, was constantly absorbed in her training and didn't take the words of the more seasoned adventurers seriously. All in all, she was just finding more and more ways to piss Akihide off. The boy was pretty fed up with her to be honest, since she seemed to have a particularly nasty hatred for him, brushing his shoulder as they pass in the hallways, making mean comments about him and doing anything she could to either inconvenience him slightly or just outright ruin his day, and by the time Akihide finally had enough, the blonde girl was nowhere to be found.

Many adventurers in the Loki Familia took this as a sign that they should never be in the path between Akihide and Ais, for their own safety. It was only a matter of time before one of the two finally had enough and started a fight with the other, and they were not planning on being collateral when their fight eventually happened. Stories were already being told about how Ais was able to blow monsters up with a single strike on her first Dungeon Crawl, which was a feat impossible for new level 1 adventurers, or level1 adventurers in general. Akihide on the other hand was a familiar face with a broken skill that allowed him to immediately surpass everyone in the world in terms of travelling speed, and the boy was creative enough to find ways to use this skill to keep up with level 2 adventurers whilst he was still a level 1 adventurer himself. Overall two very impressive kids with highly destructive power with the potential to do a lot of damage if the two of them were to fight over something, not that they had to worry about it now, as Ais was nowhere to be found.
