We soon were right on time bringing stella to her class with another 15 minutes to spare.Stella waved us goodbye.Cecilia and i also started walking to her classroom on the way up the stairs she asked me.

-so will you ever tell me your secrets ?

I was a bit startled on the sudden question but recovered and asked.

-like what ?

Next to us there were a few students going on their business some talking to their friends some indulged on their thoughts and some even noticed us watching us.

Cecilia made a wryly smile and said.

-like where did you come from ? when i ask stella she always avoids that topic you aren't much different on that point.

-I have many things i don't tell people everyone has a skeleton in their closet they won't to be discovered with

I made a smile when i said that.

Cecilia seemed a bit annoyed but she knew that it wasn't her right to investigate my life.As she about something she suddenly made a gesture of enlightenment.

-How about this i tell you my biggest secret and in exchange you tell me one of your secrets ?

She smiled slyly at that would she have a secret that could be a equivalent of mine ?

I wasn't really worried of losing anything but some things could get very problematic to explain as such where i came from or how i defeated the 80 magus's

Sometimes people had to be ignorant to live their lives in peace if you can't be ignorant you end up like me vigilante all the time even now i am inspecting the people around us knowing very well that the girl 6 steps on my front is using her mirror to look at me.

I pulled out my mask from my breast pocket and said.

-Sometimes not knowing anything can be better then knowing everything you know

As i said that i put my mask on i could hear a slight pout from the girl in front of me she also started to move a bit faster.

-heeh those words don't suit you at all !

She said a bit grumpy she also called me a idiot under her breath see ? i would have been perfectly fine not knowing that.

As we continued to walk to her classroom i could see 2 individuals waiting next to cecilias classroom one of them i knew but the other one was unknown to me.I nudged cecilia for a moment interrupting her topic for a bit and pointed at the purple robed female magician with blonde hair that was shaped like a drill.

-eh...loren

Cecilia face changed to that of annoyance loren also noticed us and pulled her "attended" to confront us.

I inspected the guy for a minute he was close to my age he had black short hair and brown eyes his facial expression was blank or more like bored should i say ? his attire was that of a butler but with a different uniform then steward wears it had silver ornaments on the hems showing a crest.

-what do you want now ?

Cecilia said in disdain i thought of the last confrontation these two had they obviously didn't like each other for some reason rivalry ? no disgust ? no hatred ? also no these two obviously just couldn't get along it seemed.The attended next to loren bowed to us with his blank face i did the same on return.

Loren put on a fake smile on her face ignoring what cecilia said and said.

-obviously i am here for the duel...

-loren you know very well that the headmaster forbid us from dueling because of the last incident so no.

Last incident ? i was a bit curious about that one.Cecilia looked a bit helpless at that too.

-and you know too that if not for the interruption of the headmaster i would have won

Cecilia said mockingly.I could see loren's smile crack but she wasn't that much fazed her attended was looked still as bored as ever the people around us also stopped what they were doing and watched our grand play even the students from the other classes came out watching.

Loren cleared her throat and said.

-no i am not here to make a duel myself i am here to make duel between our attended's !

She pointed at me making me the point of attraction of the students some of the girls even recognized me calling me the gold eyed prince......hey whats up with that weird nickname ?

-He is not a mage

Cecilia objected making it clear that she is not going to agree the atmosphere also got a bit colder didn't it ?

-from what i saw yesterday he had used some kind of skill so i am taking it that he can fight my servant without dropping to his knees the second the fight begins or do you want to say this is the limit your greenwood house can go ?

She pointed at the butler next to hear...you don't even call him by his title ? just servant ? poor guy well its not me who cares.Cecilia seemed a bit red and infuriated when loren indirectly insulted her house.

-fine i agree

I looked at her for a moment just to be sure.cecilia also glanced at me a bit guilty for her immature judgement involving me.

loren smiled and said.

-good today after school at the arena ! don't be late !

And so loren and her servant dashed away i gave one last glance at that guy...he wasn't simple i could tell.

I looked at cecilia now confronting her arms crossed she in turn just looked down like a scared animal damn it ! why do girls always get away with everything.

I sighed.

Cecilia giggled a bit and walked to her classroom and said.

-don't forget to come maybe i will see one your secrets with this.

She could be right with that statement or not.

I walked down the stairs i wasn't really thinking about the duel that was about to happen after couple hours i was actually thinking about some dragoness that lived in a library.
