"Thanks teach, love ya"[Lyan]

I said before running off.

Ms. Lucia blushed when she heard it. But afterward managed to compose herself.

When I reached my room, Arachne quickly came out and looked at the box I was holding...

"Take a bath before changing into this set of clothes "[Lyan]

I said as I took out a few women's dress that I bought along the way and gave it to her. She quickly nodded and with a happy face headed for the bathroom while I prepared dinner.

When she finally got out her scent quickly spread to the room, how can girls smell so nice? I wondered to myself as I brought out some plates, spoons, and forks

"Arachne! Dinner time! " [Lyan]

She quickly came and held the spoon and fork with her hands...

I served her the usual Rice, well-cooked beef and a few vegetables.

But it looks like she's having trouble holding her spoon and fork, so I moved to her side held her hands and taught her how to properly eat using a spoon and fork. It was tough at first but she finally got the hang of it, while she was enjoying her food I was remembering the sensation of holding her hand.

Since Arachne was now bigger we both can't fit in the bed so I told her to sleep in the bed while I sleep on the floor, but she rejected it and wove a simple bed and connected it to mine so in the end she still slept beside me.

The next morning I woke up to Arachne tightly hugging me with both arms and all her 8 legs wrapped around me.

I'm so happy right now as a virgin in my past life this...this I just heaven, but I shouldn't ruin the cool master image I strived so hard to build up. I tapped on her forehead and tried to wake her up.

"Hey, Arachne wake up" [Lyan]

"Nuuu...." [Arachne]

"come on Arachne remember we still need to go to classes unless you want to be left behind?" [Lyan]

"...muuu...Master that's..playing dirty.." [Arachne]

"come on get up"[Lyan]

I sat up and tried to lift her body up

"muuu...." [Arachne]

She finally let's go of me and struggled to stand up.

I started exercising and Arachne sat back and started drinking hot tea

"Master sure is buff~" [Arachne]

Ahh women really do like macho men?? I don't know about them but I only consider my body to be ripped.

"I'm done exercising, I'm heading off to take a bath" [Lyan]

"Master, want me to rub your back?" [Arachne]

I was surprised by what she said...this surprise attack is too much I laughed dryly before replying

"you know Arachne, I'm a guy right" [Lyan]

I think it's about time for Arachne to learn about these kinds of stuff...

"Yes" [Arachne]

"and you're a girl" [Lyan]

"uhn" [Arachne]

she answers with a straight face

"......you know what happens when a man and woman get together right?" [Lyan]

I asked while gulping

"yes they....mate" [Arachne]

reaching the end of her sentence Arachnee started blushing

"then you get it right...?" [Lyan]

"I'm ok with it if it is Master..." [Arachne]

"what?" [Lyan]

That knocked me senseless I stood there frozen for a minute before replying.

"Master...I love you" [Arachne]

....A confession?! How the fuck am I supposed to reply?!

"I know Master can't reply right now because you still don't have those kinds of feelings for me...but I'm willing to wait no matter how long it will take...till the day you fall in love with me" [Arachne]

"Arachne..., I'm sorry...I can't answer right now" [Lyan]

I hugged her, I was played my last life maybe this time it would be different., seriously I am blessed to have Arachnee fall for me

"hehe master's smells.." [Arachne]

She tightly hugged me and rested her head on my chest.

"but I don't mind...Master's sweat smells nice..." [Arachne]

Ok, now I am embarrassed...I break away from our hug, patting her head once and rushing off to the bathroom to take a bath while cooling myself down.

After taking a bath, I came out to see Arachnee by the window letting the air carry her silky smooth black hair while she occasionally sips her tea...beautiful just beautiful. I stood there dazed.

Arachne noticed my gaze and blushed

" master if you look at me so intently, I might dig a hole and bury myself..." [Arachne]

"ahaha..." [Lyan]

I laughed dryly while scratching my head. After that incident, I quickly changed to my uniforms.

"I'll also take a bath" [Arachne]

"Oh, I'll leave your uniform just outside ok?" [Lyan]

"Uhn" [Arachne]

After placing her uniform, I started cooking breakfast for two. When she came out she was drying her hair with a towel...the uniform fit her perfectly it accentuated all her curves..we started eating and she would occasionally say "hmmmm" while blissfully chewing her food. Good thing I learned how to cook from mom.

We walked side by side going to the classroom. the students would occasionally look at her and have lustful looks on their faces... this put her in a bad mood..so we quickened our pace and arrived at the classroom earlier than anyone else. Arachne sat beside me and we started having small talks until Ricard along with Lisa and her group followed by Butch and his lackeys.Ricard froze when he saw Arachnee when the door opened again and Chris bumped into Ricard making him kiss the floor but Ricard quickly stood up fixed himself and started hitting on Arachne in a heartbeat.

"Hey there beautiful, did it hurt when you fell from the sky?" [Ricard]

"hmm Dunno, did it hurt when your face kissed the ground?" [Lyan]

Hearing my reply Arachne couldn't help but giggle while Ricard's face turned gloomy so he glanced at me and cursed

"Oi just because you won the Magus clash doesn't mean you can do whatever you want, remember you only got lucky that one time" [Ricard]

"Oh sure if losing a tooth was luck then losing an arm or a genital won't be a problem right?" [Lyan]

I shot him a glance

"Tch you! how dare you?! think you can be so arrogant just because your the son of Ryan Timberwolf?! well let me tell you I am the son of Councilor Raker, my father is a close aide to the king!" [Ricard]

said Ricard with his nose pointing at the sky then continued

"come on lady that little shit won't be able to satisfy your needs let's go to my seat and get to know each other" [Ricard]

After finishing his sentence, I felt a menacing aura came from beside me...

"you..you. How dare you badmouth my Master!" [Arachne]

she quickly wove a whip out of her web and hit it on Ricard's mouth, Ricard, on the other hand, was surprised when Arachne stood up and showed her half spider body thus being unable to evade that whip... he flew back and along his landing came off a few more teeth..he was shocked to see that most of his teeth were now gone and looked at Arachne at terror.

"M-M-Monster! fucking monster!" [Ricard]

he screamed, hearing this I finally snapped and punched his stomach rendering him unconscious I shot a look at Butch and the others before slowly saying

"Anyone who calls her a Monster will have to answer to me"[Lyan]

I emphasized each word and Butch and the others just sat back at their seats ignoring the fact that Ricard has his ass pointing at the sky along with a weird face.

"Arachne?! that's Arachne?!"[Rona]

Obviously, Reina, Rona, and Aurora rushed to Arachne's side and started having their own girl talk.

"Man can't believe that little spider that loved to pounce at your face would be so beautiful" [Chris]

Chris said as he walked towards me.

"Hah, I know right...it's like yesterday she loved jumping on my head and today she's whipping someone's mouth" [Lyan]

"Yeah...wait, what?"[Chris]

"forget what I said"[Lyan]

"Okay back to your seats!" [Ms.Lucia]

Ms.Lucia came in and was surprised to see Arachne

"she..successfully advanced?"[Ms.Lucia]

"uh huh" [Lyan]

"How? in such a short amount of time.."[Ms.Lucia]

"I got lucky"[Lyan]

"*sigh* then I won't ask any further" [Ms.Lucia]

she looked at the unconscious Ricard and looked at me

"He asked for it" [Lyan]

she shook her head and started the lessons. Ms.Lucia have already gotten used to these kinds of things because every day our group always fought against Butch's, Lisa's and Ricard.

The higher-ups deemed these fights as competition between students so as long as no one was seriously wounded they will turn a blind eye to these things.

"Now since you are about to move to 2nd year, there will be some changes such as :

1. Since you are of Class A, the concept of classes will no longer apply to you. You will now be going out on assigned missions.

2. you will be assigned to different groups wherein you will make you would lead your own team for 2 years until your graduation in your 3rd year.

3.By the end of each month, you must finish all of the assigned missions

4.You will be allowed access to the school's Archive of skills. We will go to the Hidden Archive of skills tomorrow, you will use this time to prepare yourselves for tomorrow. Dismissed" After Ms.Lucia finished her sentence she quickly left the room.

"The Archive of skills exist?" [Rona] asked in disbelief

"Apparently so...thought it was a rumor though" [Chris]

"It's one of our school's mysteries. It is said that the Archive of skills holds the skills the school since it was founded...and the Magus Academy have been here for hundreds of years...Today is our lucky day hehe" [Reina]

This is the first time I saw Reina look so greedy

"If that is so. then we should really prepare"[Lyan]

"why?" [Chris]

"I'm having this 'those who pass the trial shall be rewarded' premonition"[Lyan]

"well everything has a price, what Lyan said is true let's go prepare" [Rona] after thinking for a few seconds answered

After that discussion, we all parted ways and headed off to prepare

The next day

We were lead to the restricted area of the Academy by Ms.Lucia

"Stay close to me and don't stray too far, this place is protected by an Illusion array once you get lost you might get out anymore."[Ms.Lucia]

hearing this the group compressed even tighter.

We stopped in front of an old temple guarded by fully armored knights...but these knights are puppets. I now grew curious on how they make these puppets so I quickly moved beside

"Ms.Lucia these puppets...how did they make them?" [Lyan]

due to my abrupt question, Ms.Lucia was surprised and scolded me before replying

"These puppets had been guarding the Archives since the founding of the Academy...the ways on how to make them, however, had been lost in the last War of Races 300 years ago"[Ms.Lucia]

War of Races was a major event wherein all the races fought amongst each other in the belief that they are better than the others but in the end, this war gave birth to the Undead and all Races had lost a majority of their strengths. This is also one of the reasons why the elves and fairies are rarely seen because they still think that they are better than the humans, demons, dwarves, and beastmen as for the fairies, their numbers didn't even exceed 3 digits so they hid themselves to increase their number before making their comeback.

While I was in deep thought we finally reached the deepest part of the shrine.

"Little Lucia, is this the new batch of brats?"[???]

from the shadows came a bald old man with his white beard reaching all the way to his thighs

"Grand Uncle Zephyrus!, I'm no longer a child!" [Ms.Lucia]

Answered Ms.Lucia with her tone filled with Anger.

"Ahahaha Infront of us 19 is still young" [Zephyrus]

the old man ignores Ms.Lucia's anger and kept laughing.

"Excuse me, respectable old sir, may I please know how old you are?" [Chris] asked with a face full of respect. this guy's boot-licking skills are good

"Oh, smart kid. to tell you the truth I'm around 324 years old this year" [Zephyrus]

"......"

Everyone except for Ms.Lucia was shocked and it took a while before we recovered. I also once read that in order for people to overcome the limits of their lives and achieve ages that reach 100-500 must be above level 200 and had to go through a tribulation.

"It's true" [Ms.Lucia]

Ms.Lucia only answered everyone's doubts but my eyes still looked at her in disbelief

"don't believe me?" [Ms.Lucia]

Ms.Lucia said in dissatisfaction

"No of course not how could I? I'm only surprised to know that Ms.Lucia 19 years old..." [Lyan]

Hearing what I said Ms.Lucia turned her head hiding her blush, while the old man bent down and kept slapping his knees laughing his ass off, my sides, on the other hand, was pinched so hard by Arachne. I forgot that she easily gets jealous

"Kid,you're interesting you even caused that overbearing and serious teacher of yours to get flustered haha" [Ms.Lucia]

after laughing for a while the old man finally speaks and continues

"Ok, ok enough of that see the pool in the middle? that will be your ticket to the Archives. you are only given an hour, you can also only take 3 skills anymore will cause all of the skills that you took to be returned once you return" [Zephyrus]

"excuse me, old man?"[Lyan]

"Is it okay for my partner here, Arachne to come with?" [Lyan]

"hmm sure kid but she can only take 1 skill book"[Lyan]

"Thanks, old man" [Lyan]

I was never good with honorifics, to begin with so I'll just be straight with the guy, good thing he doesn't seem to mind

old man Zephyrus started chanting turning the calm pool into a whirlpool that gave off a constant golden glow

"ok, the gate is open"[Zephyrus]

but no one wanted to step up to be the first, I held Arachne's hands and gave her a sign. Afterwards, we both ran and just jumped in the pool and everything went dark so I tightly held Arachne's hands and she did the same.

"see that kid there? he's got guts"[Zephyrus]

said old man, Zephyrus as he laughed at the others who were still standing still

"Ah! fuck this" [Chris]

Chris ran and jumped into the pool cannonball style. Rona, Reina, and Aurora held hands and slowly walked to the pool and afterwards jumped in.

When I finally came to..I notice my hand holding something soft...like pudding..it was so good to touch so I kept groping for a few more times...

"master.."[Arachne]

I groped it again

"Master!" [Arachne]

I finally stood up and laughed

"sorry Arachne It was an accident haha" [Lyan]

I quickly used the lucky pervert Accident excuse

"you call that Accident?"[Arachne]

she said as she crossed her arms in front of me...wait if Arachne's in front of me..then what am I holding my back...I turned around and saw a blue slime fidgetting and Fuck is it Blushing?! I looked in front and saw Arachne puffing her cheeks before turning her head and said in quiet voice

"master is so lewd" [Arachne]

Ahh the cool Image I tried so hard to build was broken just like that....

"ahaha it was an accident I swear...Anyway Arachne do you know where we are?" [Lyan]

I try to distract her

"This... I don't know" [Arachne]

to be honest, since they said Archives I thought we would be in some kind of library at least but we landed in the middle of an Oasis, Is this supposed to be a Trial?

"We won't get anything here let's go north"[Lyan]

"Uhn"[Arachne]

We headed north for about 15 mins when we finally saw a pyramid. Inside the pyramid stood 30 statues holding a book with their 2 hands.

"Okay, Arachne lets separate here and look for a skill that suits us" [Lyan]

"master..please be careful"[Arachne]

"you too" [Arachne]

I say as I pat her head.
