An obsidian-haired boy was gazing up towards the vast sky, quietly admiring the beauty of the orange colored sky while feeling the wind touching his skin. Beside him were two little foxes curling around while rubbing their heads unto the boy’s body. His black wavy hair flutters while his black colored coat contrasted sharply against the brown fur the beast he was riding.

The boy was resting while leaning lazily against the back of the gryphon. Although if one saw the gryphon from afar, it was no different from a regular gryphon but no one would expect that this gryphon was a Deity rank beast that holds a divinity.

---This boy was no other than Lyle and his companion the twin foxes; Sakura and Yuki, as well as his new found companion and friend the gryphon, Sheila.

“Are we going home right now, master?” The pink colored fox spoke, a beautiful smile playing across her thin lips.

Lyle turned his head towards her. His beautiful girly face brightens as a wide smile was drawn on it.

“Yeah! Sasha might be worried-sick about me right now!”

Without even lifting his gaze, he raised his hand to the pink and white colored fox and began to pet them. The foxes giggled, seemingly pleased as they crossed their paws and rest their heads on top of them.

Lyle raised his head and looked at the sky again.

Somewhere in his thoughts, there was a vague memory.

A vague memory about a black haired man walking along the shore while singing. He can’t remember his face but he has a very weird feeling that he know who he was, no not that. He wasn't really sure but for some reason he could feel that he was him.

“ From the world, my tears fell

In this world you’re irreplaceable

Living endless without you,

Seems like nothing but a nightmare!

I love you, and only you!

But this world won’t even let me,

Why does this world obstruct me?

When I do nothing but only love!”

“Lyle, thou can sing?” The gryphon; Sheila, asked with a surprised voice.

“What kind of song was that? It’s the first time this one heard it!”

“I don’t know, it’s also the first time I did it” He replied.

“This song just suddenly popped out in my mind. I'm guessing it's an original song. Anyway, are we there yet?”

“Almost! Doth can see the city after passing that big tree” Sheila replied while continuing to run in the sky.

“Oh by the way, we should stop and land before someone saw us”

Lyle said while gently caressing the gryphon’s back.

“I don’t want to get unnecessary attention! You should change into human form before we enter the academy! I will give you my coat to wear, so no need to worry about being seen naked!”

“Alright!”

************

The only school in the whole Belphim continent. And this school lies in a city widely-known as Academy City.

Academy city is a remote city that has significantly developed in the few recent decades since its foundation.

The most important factor that allowed it to develop would be because of the four kingdoms backing it. From establishing new magic, technology, buildings and various things, the academy city became one of the significant power forces in the continent.

And moreover it was surrounded by huge walls as if separating it with the rest of the world. The security inside it was so strict that no one can easily enter the school ground unless you’re a student or have permission from the people with authority.

Because of all that, it was often called: New World.

“Oh so this is Academy City. I felt like I’ve come back from Japan isn't it.” Lyle sighed in admiration.

Just as Lyle and Sheila; who transform into a human while wearing Lyle’s black coat, arrived at the main gate, suddenly –

“Prince Lyle!”

A familiar voice sounded out. Turning his head to look, a surprised joy appeared on Lyle’s face. “Sasha!”

Sasha was standing in a corner near the gate.

Smiling, she walked over. “Where have you been Prince Lyle!? Just how long do you think you are inside that forest!?”

“Sasha, eh, ah Sorry? By the way, why are you here?” Linley said questioningly.

“I’ve already finished everything! The Head Master said that you can now start tomorrow,”

A look of irrepressible excitement appearing on her face.

“Oh right! The Head Master wants to see you so you need to meet her tomorrow before you join your class!”

“Really? Thanks Sasha!”

“You’re always welcome, Prince Lyle. By the way who is she?” While tilting her head, she look at the girl who was standing beside Lyle.

“Ah, this is Sheila. And—”

His voice trailed off as he turned towards Sheila who was wearing nothing but a black coat.

Seeing it, Sasha’s expression immediately changed that is why he was unsure of how to introduce her.

Then, Sheila smiled at her and introduced herself:

“This one is Lyle's wife, Sheila. Nice to meet thee.” She nodded confidently.

The air around them was completely frozen, even though it was in the middle of summer.

Suddenly, the blood in Sasha’s face drained out faster than a speeding bullet. It might be even faster that superman who was changing his superhero attire.

The stupefied Sasha and Lyle left speechless and couldn’t even move an inch. And then…

“…huuurgh…”

“Waaaaah! Sasha! Pull yourself together! Are you alright!?”

Right then and there, Sasha passed out and fell, causing Lyle to run over to help him up.

***************

Early morning, Lyle came to Red Rose Academy’s Headmaster's office.

Hearing a polite knock, a calm response came from the Headmaster; Moori Schlevaria who was inside.

Even though the Headmaster Moori was a little bit surprised, she still ushered him inside.

“Oh? You are?”

Moori offered him a seat as Lyle gave her some documents. Inside was his personal background, of course a faked one.

“Headmaster, my name is Shin Kariya. The document inside contains my background as well as the things seen in my status plate”

Moori’s eyes were wide open after hearing these sudden words and studied the documents seriously.

After browsing through it once, she placed the documents on the table and exhaled deeply. Moori turned her gaze towards him and said:

“Ara… Should I say this is unexpected… shin was it? These documents are fake right?”

“Ho? How can you say it’s a fake.”

Unperturbed, Lyle kept smiling like always.

No hint of panic in his beautiful and childish face.

Moori directed her grayish eyes towards Lyle.

“Haa~ I give up. I know who you are, shin, no should I call you; Lyle Drake Dragonfang. Beloved prince of the

Dragonfang kingdom, am I right?” Moori said while the corner of her lips turned into a smile.

Lyle clicked his tongue inwardly.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Lyle answered impatiently with a bitter face, and Moori shrugged her shoulders again.

“Your father already told me about it! So no need to fake your identity, Dragon Prince!”

Lyle bit his lips and then asked Moori.

“Is that true? Haaa~ And I told dad not to tell anyone. Anyway, so what do you want?”

“Nothing in particular! I promised your dad I will keep quiet about your real identity so no need to worry about it anymore. Oh one thing, I heard rumors regarding the prince of the Dragonfang kingdom, so I want to confirm it with my own eyes.”

Moori intentionally shrugged her shoulders and fixedly looked into Lyle's black eyes. Lyle was involuntarily overcome by the pressure of that overbearing stare.

“How? Do you want to fight me?”

“Nothing like that, I just want to see your Status plate, that’s enough for me!”

Lyle took out a golden plate in his coat's pocket, and then put it onto the front desk.

Though his status and rank isn’t as amazing as other high-level adventurer such as mages and warriors.

His were still at the level where a boy as young as him couldn’t even reach.

The academy bore several genius students from time to time, but the boy in front of him was beyond genius, no he is basically a real monster.

As expected, Moori was speechless as she became slack-jawed.

It couldn’t be helped. = =

Even though it was understandable to owned the skill such as which were a peculiar skill for his race. However, this skill can only be obtained when they reached adulthood.

--- But the boy in front of her is clearly, without a doubt just a twelve years old boy.

If she wasn't wrong, then it was too early by four years ...

How can this be possible ?

Although there were some draconic who managed to obtain it in their early periods and was then considered as a genius that only came once in a hundred years ... ...

---- but she stil haven't heard of a twelve years old boy who had this powerful skill ... ...

Could it be that this unruly, mischievous-looking brat in front of her was a genius that only come once in a thousand years, which only exist in legends?

Draconic race are known warriors that can change every part of their bodies to that of a dragon freely and there were even those who were called Elder which can change their whole body into that of a full dragon without a problem.

However, this boy in front of her should still be called 'Premature Awakening'

Thus, he must have been paying a huge price whenever he was using this skill ... or maybe he was using his own mana ... = =

But these are all nothing but speculations ...

--- but what made her almost fell into the ground was the fact that he still has an and that his status and skills were too abnormal, too monstrous.

This kind of talent, let alone in a hundred years, even if it was a thousand years, it was really hard to come by.

He completely ignored the world’s common sense. It was strange to not be surprised by him.

Could it be that this brat was really such a talent?

She couldn't help but looked at Lyle again with a different light.

Right now, she really saw a talent with abnormal abilities.

“My, my… I had thought there must be something. However, something like these are…”

Drenched in cold sweat, Moori’s usual smile cramped when she saw his status. Seeing her like this, Lyle just uncaringly smiled.

The youngest student to reach B-rank in the whole history of the academy was only fourteen years old, but he, a twelve years old is an A-rank? What kind of blasphemy is this?”

She looked at it normally, even if the silly contents seemed to be fixed through their lives, she could not help believing it because the status and skills she just seen were proven by the status plates.

When Moori finished reading the plate, she sat deeply on her chair with a weary look that made her seemed like she suddenly aged for at least ten years.

“… Indeed I had expected something from hearing those rumors. But still… the actual things are far more oblique, huh…”

“… Then, Headmaster. What will you do?”

Moori corrected her seating as she looked at Lyle with calm expression.

“I’ve already promised your father. I will keep your identity as well as your abilities a secret!”

“… I see. Then that’s good.” Lyle shrugged his shoulders and used his gaze to express his sorry and gratitude.

“By the way, just in case, wear this” Moori took out something under her desk and then throw it to him.

… … It was a ring. @[email protected]

“What? A ring? No, no, hey Headmaster, I’m still twelve years old. I don’t want to marry anyone for now!”

“Say what!? Just what the hell are you saying?”

“This ring! Didn’t you give it to me, because you want to propose to me? Please no, I apologize for being rude, but I

think you’re way above your prime already!”

“Shut up, that’s not what I’m talking about! And for your information, I’m still thirty-two this year!”

“But even so, I’m still not looking for someone yet! So I’m really sorry!” He said while bowing.

“Listen to people will you!? Haa~ That ring is the it can hide someone’s presence.”

“But I don’t think I need it.”

“No you need it. That ring can hide someone’s status and abilities as well. Although only a few knows it.”

“Really? Are you sure you’re not lying because you’re just embarrassed?”

“Will you stop!? Seriously, such a thing!”

“Headmaster...”

“Ah, What is it?”

“Thanks … I appreciate it.”

“Oh.”

These two were creating their own atmosphere.

Really, if someone accidentally opened the door and saw them, they will really misunderstand it.
