True Magician

Chapter 117

Kuoh Academy.

I woke up at noon, and because the house was very quiet due to the Servants working, I went to the Academy. After all, I hadn't been fired yet. And now I was sitting in the medical room, drinking coffee and occasionally helping the incoming students.

It was summer vacation, and even considering this fact, the Academy was not empty. The hobby groups were still active, as was the Student Council, and teachers held extra classes for those who were falling behind or wanted to be better prepared for university. I, on the other hand, was thinking about my unusual situation while I was off work.

The reaction to Rias was completely similar to what Akeno had caused. And that raises questions. Okay, if it were an isolated incident, but it wasn't. The whole point of the problem is that the source of the sensation was not the mind or the body, but the soul itself.

Yes, all souls are pure on a conceptual level, however my case is a bit special. Since I have memories of a past life, the 'clothes' of my soul have not been removed. It's like putting new data on a disk without erasing the old data. And in theory, one could speculate that I once had a fear of relationships or intimacy, however that doesn't add up to my situation.

I have no problem with Tia or Morgana, only Rias and Akeno. It is only their display of intimacy that makes me uncomfortable, which I find odd.

To me, they were nothing more than anime characters. That is, I basically couldn't interact with them on such a level that it would imprint on my soul. Such a possibility simply doesn't exist.

On the other hand, you can see a clear connection between Rias and Akeno, as they both belong to the same group. It could be a clue to what my past life has been like, but... I don't really care about it, honestly. What matters now is the present and possible future, but not the past. If something comes out on its own? Fine, but not otherwise.

The next moment, I felt something soft in the number of two placed on my head, and my nose immediately smelled the odor of sulfur, sweetness, and very high quality women's perfume. My eyebrow twitched as I knew exactly who was behind my back and what exactly was now resting on my head.

- "What are you doing here? Don't you have something to do?" I asked and pushed her away with a shake of my head.

- "I have time for you, Romani Archaman," Rizevim smiled and sat down on the bunk, "You seem pensive. Is it related to Sirzechs's sister?"

What? Was she following me the other day? But I didn't see anyone.

- "You're stalking me. Can't you be a little more civilized?"

- "Oh? So, I'm right?" She ignored me, "What's bothering you? The embrace of a mere girl? If you want, I can eliminate her for you. I promise that no one will think of your involvement on principle."

My eyebrow twitched.

Yeah. What else would you expect from the current Rizevim. I'm sure if I asked her to blow up the capital of the Underworld, she'd do it in a heartbeat.

- "That doesn't elevate you in my eyes," I said, to which she made a pouty, girlish face, "Why did you come? I don't think you would risk taking my time for nothing and making me feel bad about myself."

- "You're right about that," Rizevim nodded, "The Chaos Brigade is planning to use a certain vixen to open a rift in Space between dimensions. And since you're so close to her, I thought I should warn you."

- "That's an interesting choice of words," I grinned. "There are several factions in the Brigade, all acting in isolation and with their own agendas, aren't there? I doubt they're all interested in what comes out of this Yasaka situation."
