Recap:

"She gave me that." I told him, "She said that it reminded her of me so she gave it to me. Ever since you disappeared, followed by her, I thought of it as a goodluck charm." I took the frame next to it and handed it to the master, "She told me that she was supposed to give this to you the moment both of you returned from your visit....but she never had the chance."

I stared at the master and thought that he was going to ask me where she was or how she is but what he said next gave me a very, very horrible feeling.

"Who is this 'she' you are speaking of?"

3rd Person's POV

Shocked... Confused... Sad

Those were the emotions that prevailed in his heart right now. Frankenstein couldn't believe what escaped his Master's mouth.

Raizel looked at him, confused at his servant's expression. "Is there something wrong? "

Frankenstein blinked, "A-Ah no sire. Nothing's wrong."

Raizel didn't question further albeit he wanted to ask who was the person Frankenstein associated him with. He believed that if there was something Frankenstein wanted to tell him he would.

Frankenstein looked at the stoic face of his master

"Master wouldn't forget Athena. She's too important for him to just forget all about her. What happened? "

Frankenstein bit his lip, trying to wrap his mind around this entire scenario. Looking up, he saw his master, Raizel, looking at him in worry.

He smiled, assuring his master that nothing was wrong. Frankenstein then told his master that he will process all the necessary papers so that he will be able to blend in with the current society....and that includes having Raizel as a student of his school.

"I'll investigate on that later. " Frankenstein thought to himself, "For now, I'll have to make sure that the master enjoys his stay. "

[3rd Person's POV]

The whole classroom was in awe.

The teacher stared at the reaction of his students. If it's not awe stricken, it's crush-at-first-sight.

'This isn't the first time I've seen a reaction like this but... Do I really have to deal with it, even in the classroom? '

The teacher sighed.

Earlier that day was the school's opening ceremony. The principal, Frankenstein, welcomed the new and old students of YeRan Highschool.

"Welcome to Yeran Highschool. "

Frankenstein stood behind the podium wearing his signature smile that could make any woman, mortal or immortal, fall for his charms.

"YeRan's most important principle is free will... "

All the while, the students who were listening still couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that the blonde man giving the welcoming speech was their principal!

'Is he really the principal of the school? '

'He's so handsome... '

Even the teachers blushed at the sight of Frankenstein...well, except for Mr. Park who just listened attentively.

Frankenstein smiled, "I hope you will all make wonderful memories during your three years here. That will be all. "

You could literally hear the groans of the students, mostly female, dissappointed that the speech has finally ended.

Mr. Park's face was stoic but his mind was surprised and a bit curious.

I wonder in what kind of school the students get disappointed when the principal's speech ends...

Back in the classroom, Mr Park recalled the Principal's request to him regarding the new student.

With a smile, Frankenstein said, "Mr. Park, please take good care of him.  This is his first time in Korea and he isn't familiar with our culture. If he does something rude, please try to be understanding. He means no disrespect. "

Turning his attention to the waiting students he said, "Alright...I would like everyone's attention. As most of you've probably guessed, this is the new transfer student. "

In response, all the females in the classroom squealed in delight, startling the sleeping red-head drooling on his table.

Finally alert, his eyes went to the person in front and widened in familiarity, "Eh, that guy is... "

"Everyone... " Mr Park spoke while clenching his hands at the edge of the table, "Be quiet. "

Silence enveloped the room the moment those words left his mouth.

Mr Park continued, "He was born in a foreign country, and it's his first time here in Korea. He doesn't know about our culture, so you all need to help him out. "

"His name is.... " Mr Park stopped because he realized he doesn't know his name...nor did he get the chance to hear it from the principal. He turned to look at Raizel, as if telling him to introduce himself.

Raizel stood there, his face stoic and calm. He then opened his mouth saying his name in a foreign language.

The students looked at Raizel, bewildered then turned to their teacher for an interpretation.

"Argg... Not again! " Mr Park thought, "It was embarrassing enough with just Shinwoo... How am I supposed to translate a language I've never heard before?"

"I can't just let  this one go since it's his name... " He gritted his teeth in frustration, his sweat dripping down his face...

He continued racking his brain for some excuse until a voice spoke from beside him,

"Cadis Etrama Di Raizel. "

Surprised (and maybe relieved?) Mr Park turned to Raizel who continued, "That is how you would pronounce it here. "

"Cool! "

"It's like an aristocrats name. "

"Tsk. What a long name. " Shinwoo thought to himself. Then his eyes widened in realization. Wait hold on a sec....

"What...? You can speak Korean?! " Shinwoo exclaimed, standing up impulsively.

Mr Park turned to Raizel, also becoming suspicious, "Yeah...it seems you can speak Korean. "

"I'm not fluent. " Raizel replied curtly.

Really?   Mr Park and the students thought simultaneously.

"That's a really long name. " Mr Park said, "Which part is your first name? And which is your surname? "

"All of it is the first and last name. "

Mr Park rubbed his chin, "Eh? Is there such a thing? Then how should we call you? Do we say the whole thing? "

"Call me whatever you like. " was Raizel's reply.  "Teacher!!!" Shinwoo suddenly yelled.

"What? " Mr Park said.

"It seemed so natural that I didn't realize it at first..." Shinwoo trailed

"What? " Mr Park asked.

"He's talking to you as if he were an equal. "

"........"
