《Hiroto The Cursed Phoenix Mage》Chapter 7: The Encounter With The Cold-Hearted Princess
Advertisement
I woke up in the school's hospital breathing heavily due to the nightmares. Over the past months my nightmare have been getting worse and worse. I guess being away from my family c
"Calm down Hiroto, it's me Hiroyuki," Hiroyuki said trying to calm me down.
"Where am I," I asked.
"You're at the school's hospital because you used up to much mana," Hiroyuki answered.
"I see, wait, who passed the exam," I questioned.
"Calm down, Hikaru passed," Hiroyuki responded. "I see, so I lost."
"why are you sulking like that for, I never once said you failed," Hiroyuki stated. "What do you mean?"
"You and Hikaru are the first people to pass the transfer exams," Hiroyuki said with a smile.
"Seriously, why didn't you say that in the first place," I sighed in relief.
"Hey, in the second round why did they want people to fail. Isn't it supposed to be fair for everyone," I demanded answers.
"Oh that, well sorry I'm the one that asked them to do that," Hiroyuki said with a goofy look.
"Give me a pleasurable answer and I won't kill you," I said fuming with rage.
"Wait, I didn't know that they were going to say those things. I had to change the second round because I wasn't suppose to tell you what is happening in the exams. I told them they could use any excuse to hide the reason for changing it. I didn't think that was going to be there excuse," Hiroyuki explained.
"I see, anyways, where is Hikaru," I asked. "You want to see him?"
"Of course after all he's my first friend," I said with a small smile, to little to be noticed.
"Seriously, he's your first friend," Hiroyuki said with a giggle.
"Bastard, so what if he is, that's got nothing to do with you," I yelled.
"Yeah yeah, anyway he's in the room right next to us," Hiroyuki said in a teasing tone. "Stop with that act Hiroyuki!"
"Come on don't you want to meet the only friend you have," Hiroyuki continued.
"I'm done trying to talk to you. I'm out of here see ya," I said storming out of the room.
"Wait, you look different then before. Did you do something," Hiroyuki asked.
What did he mean by looking different. I'm just your average looking guy. I only stood out because I didn't have the ability to use magic. I walked towards the mirror and indeed my face is different. I rubbed my eyes very hard to see if I was just hallucinating however, I wasn't. I indeed looked different from before. How is that the case? If that truly wasn't a dream, and I indeed have a demon beast sealed inside of me, how am I not dead? Sure Bedelia said I was 100% compatible however, how did she know? To many questions that need to be answered so I just left without commenting on Hiroyuki's question. I made my way towards Hikaru's room wanting to see his reaction of us both passing the exams. I stormed into his room to see two women sitting beside his bed.
"Hello," I greeted myself.
"Hello, who are you," a girl asked. "I'm Hiroto, nice to meet you."
"Oh, your the boy my brother fought against," the girl said excited.
"Yeah, anyways, Hikaru how's your injuries," I questioned.
"They're fine," Hikaru pouted. "What's up with the attitude?"
"Isn't it obvious, you passed and I didn't," hikaru said pouting.

"Huh, what do you mean. Didn't your family tell you," I stated.
"What," Hikaru said confused. "Both of us passed the exam."
"Oh, I see, WAIT WHAT," Hikaru yelled.
The two women on the side started giggling and then burst out laughing.
"You lied to me," hikaru said loudly.
"Yeah, I just had to see the reaction on your face when you found out that you passed," his sister said laughing.
"I totally agree with her," the other women said, agreeing.
"Mom, come on, that's not funny," Hikaru pouted. "No, it definitely is."
"You have an interesting family," I stated.
"Is that a bad thing," Hikaru asked.
"No, in fact it's entertaining watching you guys," I responded.
"May I ask who are you to Hikaru," the woman asked.
"I'm his friend Hiroto, nice to meet you," I said bowing slightly.
Suddenly her eyes lit up like sparkles and was brimming with happiness.
"Seriously you're his friend! Hey Hikaru you made a friend," his mom said loudly.
"I'm Asami and I'm his mother," Asami said excited.
"Mom stop embarrassing me like that," Hikaru said embarrassed.
"I'm not, i'm just happy that you finally have a friend," Asami said with a smile. "Yeah, my brother finally has a friend!"
"Not you too Asuka," Hikaru said.
"I see, so I'm your first friend," I stated.
"Yeah, what about it, you're my first friend okay," Hikaru said embarrassed.
"There's nothing wrong about it, in fact you're also my first friend," I said with a smile.
Asuka face got red from me smiling and sat there silent.
"Hey, Asuka are you sick or something, your face is super red," I asked, concerned. "I'm fine don't worry about me."
"Oh, Asuka are you really blushing right now," Hikaru teased.
"No I'm not, just shut up Hikaru," Asuka stuttered.
The two sides continued arguing while I was wondering what he meant by "blushing". Wait, actually I remember now I think. Blushing means red in the face from shyness, embarrassment, or shame. She doesn't act like the shy type. There was no way she could've been embarrassed and there was no room where she could feel shame. So what other meaning does blushing has. I was told that it happens a lot in romance anime however, I hate romance. Action is where it's at and even though I don't watch it anymore, I will stand by it. Before I could continue thinking, Asami was quite confused.
"Wait, Hikaru's your first friend," Asami asked confused.
"I thought you would have a bunch of friends," Hikaru stated.
Everyone in the room also thought the same. I decided to talk and let them know a little about myself.
"Well growing up I hid the fact I could use magic and so naturally, people avoided me. Lets just say that I used to hate the element called magic," I explained.
"I will tell you more about myself later after all, we should prepare for school tomorrow," I pointed out.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow," Hikaru said with a small smile.
I was going to respond however, my body felt heavy and I fainted. Before I fell to the floor Hiroyuki grabbed me.
"Honestly, he rushed in here forgetting he is still low on mana," Hiroyuki said.
"No way, you're Hiroyuki," Hikaru yelled.
"Yeah, nice to meet you Hikaru," Hiroyuki said with a smile.
"What are you doing here," Hikaru asked. "It's only natural that a master should help his student."

"Wait, your his master," everyone yelled.
"I am, also, can you keep this a secret," Hiroyuki begged. "Of course if that's what you want."
"Thanks, I'll be taking my leave then," Hiroyuki said before leaving.
Hiroyuki took me back to my hospital room and I took a nap. After a few hours of sleep I was escorted to the dorms. I was relieved that my roommate was Hikaru and we both got ready for school. The next day we were given a tour from Asuka since she has been in this school from the entrance exams. After the tour we headed to class. We stayed in front of the door waiting for our teacher to let us in.
"Everyone I would like to announce that we have two transfer students that will be in our class," the teacher announce.
"What, no way someone actually passed the transfer exam," a boy yelled.
"To make it even better it's two people," a girl stated.
"Oh, transfer students. Not like I care, I need to focus on training," a girl thought to herself.
"Okay you both can enter," the teacher said loudly.
I walked in with one hand in my pocket and the other blocking my mouth from yawning. Hikaru and I had to wake up early for the tour and now I'm tired. Remember the girl who said she needs to focus on training? Well, she is a very important person in this story. So for now, we will go to her point of view in this point of time.
The two transfer boys walked in and I honestly couldn't care less. However, when I met eyes with one of the transfer students my heart skipped a beat. It was a feeling I have never felt. A feeling that is somewhat comforting. It was a very warm feeling however, It doesn't feel like it belongs to me. It feels implanted like I was forced to feel this way.
"Why do I feel like this," I thought.
"My heart is beating so fast but, why does this feeling feel so fake," I continued thinking.
"Hey, Ash, why do I feel like this, and why does it feel like it was implanted in me," I demanded answers.
"That mana, impossible," Ash stated.
"What do you know who that is," I asked. "No, it's nothing."
"I see, anyways, why do I feel like this," I questioned. "Who knows maybe it's a love at first sight type of thing."
"That's not funny," I said with an emotionless face.
"I honestly don't know why you feel like that," Ash said in a iconic "I don't know" face.
"You're a demon god rank beast and you're absolutely useless," I said in a annoyed tone.
When you make a contract with a demon beast you can subconsciously speak with them in your mind. There you can either hate the demon beast or grow a bond with them. Why do I have one inside of me? Sorry, but in the near future you will know.
"Sorry, please don't hate me," Ash begged.
"How could I hate you, come on I need to start paying attention to class," I said sighing.
We now go back to my point of view when I first entered the room and saw that girl for the first time.
"What, why, why is my heart beating so fast," I questioned myself.
This feeling is so weird but why does it feel like it's fake. Like it's not my own. This feeling feels is too good to be true. No, it doesn't just feel like it's not mine, I know it's not mine. In my entire life I have never once felt an emotion like this. Meeting someone for the first time can not just trigger an emotion so easily. The something unexpected happened.
"What, my mana is reacting to hers," I stated.
"Strange, why is my mana so attracted to her's," I further thought.
"Ever since I had that dream a bunch of weird things started happening," I told myself.
I was deep in thought and Hikaru has already introducted himself to everyone. It was my turn and everyone was waiting patiently for me to introduce myself. I was still focused on why I was feeling like this until Hikaru bumped my shoulder and told me it was my turn for introductions.
"I'm Hiroto, it's a pleasure to meet you all," I said in a calm voice.
"Hey they're pretty cute right," a girl giggled. "Yeah, I agree."
Everyone in the class started talking about us except for that girl. The teacher had enough of everyone talking so she decided to talk.
"Okay that's enough, Hiroto and Hikaru, can you please take your seats," the teacher asked.
"Hiroto you're sitting right next to Hiromi and Hikaru is sitting besides you," the teacher stated. "Who's Hiromi?"
The teacher raised her hand and pointed to the girl that made my heart race.
"Her," she said with a smile.
I stared at her for a few seconds and I started talking.
"You know my master told me a lot about you Ms. Katsumi. He told me you're strong, smart, and well organized," I stated.
"Oh, did he," she responded.
"I was just confused because I would assume a well organized person would have the empty seats in the back," I said.
"The fact that the empty seats are pretty close up and not to mention next to her seems a lot more then just a coincidence," I continued.
"What's so special about her," Hikaru asked.
"I don't know however, ever since I walked in this room every single boy here was staring at her like she was a goddess. I'm guessing she's the school's beauty or something like that," I explained.
"Also, my master have given me seating chart of this classroom. It's in alphabet order and our last names are very different," I further explained.
"So the fact I'm sitting right next to her is definitely suspicious," I concluded. "No, there isn't anything suspicious about it."
"Judging by the fact you're stuttering means I'm right," I said sighing.
"Then why did you ask who you're sitting next to if you already knew," the teacher asked. "I did that on purpose."
"Why were you so happy that I was going to sit next to her," I asked a rhetorical question.
"Let me take a guess, my master is the one that wants me to sit next to her right," I asked.
"Honestly, he told me you were smart but not this smart. You were able to figure it out with barely any clues," Ms. Katsumi sighed in defeat.
"This means you know who my master is right," I questioned. "Yeah."
"Then can you tell me the reason for this," I asked another question.
"I would also like a reasoning for this," Hiromi said also wanting an explanation.
"Sorry, but that won't be possible," Katsumi said with a smile.
"I promised him I wouldn't tell you guys," Katsumi explained.
"Whatever, let's just start the class already," Hiromi and I said simultaneously.
"Hey, don't start copying me all of a sudden," we both yelled. "Just get to you're seats already!"
We did as we were told and went quietly to our seats. I could tell I was going to be hated by a lot of people judging by the amount of death stares that were facing me.
"Your fan boys are sure annoying," I said softly.
"I couldn't agree with you more," Hiromi agreed.
"WHAT NO WAY SHE TALKED TO SOMEONE," everyone yelled.
"Ouch, what the hell, is it that rare for her to speak to someone," I asked. "The only time she ever talks is if the teacher asks her a question."
"Seriously, does she not have any friends to talk to," Hikaru asked.
"No, all she does is train, train, and even more training," everyone answered.
"I see so you're a training maniac," I asked her. "No it's just that I want to impress my father and nothing more."
"I see, so you're a daddy's girl," I stated.
"No, it's just that I want him to recognize me and also I look up to him," Hiromi explained embarrased.
"What wrong with being a daddy's girl. It's kinda cute that you want to impress your father, the person you look up to," I said with a small smile.
Hiromi turned into a blushing mess and I was confused as hell.
"HE MADE HER BLUSH," everyone yelled.
"Are you okay, you're face is super red. Is the room to hot or something," I asked.
"AND HE'S SO DENSE," everyone yelled in there minds.
Hiromi let out a small giggle and started talking.
"You're a dense one aren't you," Hiromi said with a smile. "Am I? Actually I've been told that a few times."
"IMPOSSIBLE THE COLD HEARTED HIROMI SMILED," everyone yelled.
"Shut the fuck up, you guys are so fucking loud," I demanded.
"Okay enough with the chit chat everyone. Now let's get the class started," Katsumi said loudly.
"Yes ma'am," everyone agreed.

Which was why he was surprised by a random company on a new colony planet buying out his contract. That was the problem with the large companies that ruled the colonies, once they owned your contract, they owned you. Imagine the greater surprise when he learnt that the new company held the promise of freedom. Not from the constant battle against the Swarm that were also trying to claim the colony planets for their own. Nor from the Crust, the mysterious substance that covered the same planets and held the resources they all fought for. No, the freedom from being oppressed by those with more power and to finally decide where to go and where to set down roots and call home.
