While the teachers dispersed the students and Tuberculus led Keltaru to the infirmary, I followed Ayuseya and Nanya. They entered the main building and then went up the stairs until they reached my room. Upon opening the door, Shanteya offered the two a short bow and placed herself between them and my crystal body.

"Illsy. You are here, right?" Nanya asked.

"Yup!" I replied.

"Good. Do you understand now the differences between ranks?" she asked me with a calm voice.

"Yes, I do..." I replied.

"Good." she nodded.

Ayuseya remained quiet and looked between Nanya and Shanteya. It was quite possible that she had yet to figure out the reason as to why she was called over. Tuberculus, the headmaster of the academy, wasn't there and neither were any of the other teachers. Her options varied between being scolded for not holding her guard on a short leash, her recent activity at school, and of course, her curses.

'Was I really called over because of Keltaru?' she wrote down on the blackboard.

Nanya looked at it for a moment and then removed it from her hands. She placed it down on the shelf of the nearby bookcase.

"You don't need that now, do you?" she asked and turned around to face Ayuseya.

The draconian princess blinked surprised and acted as though she had no idea what she was talking about.

"She knows..." I said.

When Ayuseya heard me, she let out a long sigh.

"Indeed, it would have been hard to keep it away from your woman." she remarked.

"Yes... Wait, what?" I replied and looked at her confused.

I think I misheard that last part... I thought.

"Wha-wha-what are you talking about?! I-I'm not his woman!" retorted Nanya, who turned red as tomato.

Shanteya looked with big eyes at her and covered her mouth with her fingers to hide her surprise.

"Yes, Nanya, you should come clean now. That night of hot passion under the moonlight... Ah! It was divine! Or-or did you just use the poor little me?" I said with an exaggerated tone of voice.

"ILLSYYY!" she shouted at me, looking all cute and furious at the same time.

I want to tease her more, but I fear she might shatter me into a billion pieces... I thought.

"Hahaha! Sorry! Sorry! I couldn't abstain!" I said.

"Mou!" she puffed her cheeks and crossed her hands at her chest.

"Me and Nanya are just friends, for now." I said with a smile, but she threw me a glare my way after the last remark.

Shanteya let out a sigh of relief.

"I see... Then, I'm guessing I've been called here because of the curse? It matters not, I wished to have a word with Illsyore after the duel was over anyway." she spoke calmly.

"You aren't mad about your guard being beaten up like that?" I asked curiously.

"He was the one who challenged a Godlike to a battle. Although I was worried he might be killed by our teacher, in the end, it was a good lesson for his ego." she answered while looking over at Nanya.

"The foolish boy was the one who asked for it. But we're not here to talk about Keltaru, we're here because of your two curses." Nanya said and quickly returned the conversation back on its track.
