A/N: NOOOO! Burnt my tongue eating ramen while writing this T^T

The battle was finally over. There was a convenient side effect to boot. None of the other students wanted to come near me for fear of me. I was a person who valued my own space, considering I was ostracized in my previous life anyway. Although, I dare say, it was a nice feeling to rule through fear.

Students aside, the instructors looked to me with admiration. they readily applauded Hahnu and I when the battle had ended. As they applauded, a melodic ring chimed through the air. I was lead to believe that was the magical clock that kept time and signified the time changes by the hour via those chimes, and each class typically only ran an hour long.

“Ah, Hahnu, what was I taking next?” I asked my memorable aide.

“Nya, I believe that is mana manipulation? This way, Lord Veloth, Nya.” She readily began to guide me to my next class. The students parted from my path as though I would kill the next person to get in my way.

“Nnnhh…” Sival was already stirring as the instructors rushed to check the conditions of the defeated. Nilus almost looked like a statue, sprawled on the ground without even a twitch, as though he were petrified. Perhaps Hahnu had some useful tricks I could learn later.

Hahnu led the way amidst numerous multistoried structures. Most of the structures were of a dull gray and rectangular design, but the rooftops were always tiled in beautiful colors that became more elaborate as the sun changed position and one’s viewing angle changed.

“Lord Veloth sure is powerful, Nya.” Hahnu began some idle banter as we proceeded to our next destination.

“Huhmm… But you seem quite capable yourself, Hahnu. Just what did you do to lizard boy to put him in that state?”

“Nyahah…” She pulled out her dagger while blushing and removed its pommel. There was a secret compartment in the hilt of the dagger, and there appeared to be traces of a powder inside. “It’s a paralytic pollen gathered from vantha flower and it is very potent, Nyahah.” she said with a laugh and a cute smile.

“Hoh, that is clever.” I admitted. While that Nilus had a tough exterior, if he were to breathe something like that in, he would be defenseless. It would probably be wise for me to prepare things like this as well.

We at last reached our dorms. There were no changing rooms at this school, so if you wanted to change, you had to return to the dorms every time. We entered the noble’s dorm structure, where those of noble birth or great wealth dwelled while enrolled in this academy. We climbed all the way to the 5th floor, which was reserved for the wealthiest of the students.

Whatever Kel’thul wrote in his letter to the academy principal, it sure got the job done. The principal was stammering and falling over himself to get me whatever I needed or wanted at the time, as though if I were displeased in some way I would kill him. Hahnu had just stood by with a knowing and self-satisfied smile.

We separated temporarily as we individually entered our rooms which were located right next to eachother. I entered an oversized and extravagantly furnished room. While each student only got a single room with a single bathroom, those rooms located on the 5th floor of the noble’s dorm could house six students comfortably. Well, at the very least, there was no way I was going to develop claustrophobia living in this place.

I changed quickly into the school uniform. The uniforms here resembled japanese school uniforms of the anime variety. In other words, girls wore very short skirts. The uniforms were a dark gray for the boys, while the girls sported a flashy orange, with a dark gray skirt. The instructors also appeared to adhere to the same dress code.

I had just finished changing when Hahnu barged in through my door without a warning.

“Lord Veloth…” She had a disappointed look on her face, “We should hurry if we are to be on time, Nya…” Geez, ever heard of knocking? Although she looked rather attractive in that uniform. The skirt threatened to flip up every time her tail swayed to and fro.

Fortunately uniforms were tailored to the individual races, so my uniform had a tail hole, although it had to be altered further to fit both of my tails, which lead us to visit my first class whilst my uniform was made to spec.

“Right, lead the way.” I prompt Hahnu to lead. Until I could remember my way around campus, I will rely on Hahnu to guide me with the map given to us. As we made our way, the students in the paved streets between buildings began to part and give us space. It seems word has already begun to spread about the duels in the short time it took to change. I could hear whispers, but once more they were too numerous at the moment for me to pick anything out.

The one thing I did manage to hear was quite an absurd rumor about me being the demon king’s son. While I wanted to correct that person, there was no way for me to pinpoint them amongst the throng of students flowing to their next classes.

We shortly came upon a very large building that had eight floors and had a plaque above a large entryway labeled ‘Magical Studies’. As we are about to enter, I hear a sound above my head, a ‘fwump, fwump, fwump’ it was rhythmic until it abruptly became a swoosh, and I found myself on the ground, a light weight hanging to my back.

“Veloth! Marry me!” It was Sival’s voice… I felt her generous bosom pressed into my back as I stood back up, her arms hanging around my neck. She was much lighter than she looked, probably had hollow bones like a bird. Although, from my fight with her, her bones must have been far more dense because I’m certain I did not break any.

“Nya! Get off of master!” Hahnu immediately retorted and started pulling at Sival.

“No, wait Hahn-” I tried to stop Hahnu but she was too fast, and caused a chain reaction. Hahnu fell back, pulling Sival with her, and Sival me along with them. I could hear Sival’s wings beat briefly in an attempt to keep balance, but it was fruitless. I felt like I was flipped through the air multiple times like some ragdoll.

I don’t know how exactly it happened, but the resulting position was with me gazing at a white pair of panties and someone straddling my waist. Judging from the flawless smooth ebony skin, the panties were Hahnu’s.

“Haahh…” I let out a sigh of exasperation at this cliche moment, which I now regret. The sigh caused Hahnu to squeal and leap up, a cliche reaction. The moment Hahnu leapt off of me, Sival leaned down and clung to me once more, pressing her breasts into my abdomen. Really, what is it with this woman? You would think a beating would deter someone…

I could hear nearby students and those walking by with a wide berth gossiping at this sight. I heard things such as ‘pervert’, ‘polygamy’, ‘libido’, and some more profane words. Some of those gossiping students even looked on in envy or jealousy.

Hahnu eventually managed to drag Sival off with great effort. While I didn’t mind a woman giving me so much affection, I barely knew her. If she is this persistent, I may eventually give in. When Hahnu pulled of Sival, she had begun scolding her. At some point during the long rant, the bell rang.

“Ah! Hahnu! The bell! Let’s go already!” I got her attention. She was so into the scolding she hadn’t even heard the bell, and looked at me with a start of surprise. We hurried into the large building, closely followed by Sival, and we all entered the same classroom.
