《Re:Otaku Prince life in another world》Chapter 41: [ The Ancient Book ]

Advertisement

In the first year class A, there was a considerable sense of chaos. In all probability, a similar scene was playing out throughout the other classrooms.

Just like yesterday many students met each other, and already small groups have formed up here and there chatting away. Obviously, the hot topics was the happenings in the training arena yesterday.

With no new acquaintances to greet, Lyle was sitting in his own desk trying to ignore his surroundings when suddenly his name was called unexpectedly, he looked up.

"G-good Morning Ly---, I mean Shin!"

"Good morning."

Princess Feme greeted him.

When she heard Lyle’s response she smiled and turned away, going to her desk while her face was dyed red.

Seeing this Lyle chuckle as if finding Feme’s reaction cute.

As the first bell rang, the students began to dissipate and make their way back to their own seats.

‘This system is not all that different from my past world although there were some differences’ He thought.

After the bell rang, a second later the door to the classroom opened.

It was not a late student. Instead of a uniform, the lady was wearing a suit.

As everyone watched, which wasn't an exaggeration, the beautiful and moreover exceptionally charming woman went up to the teacher's desk and then looked around the classroom.

This woman was no other than, the classroom instructor; Mirin.

"Alright, it doesn't seem like anyone is absent. Then first of all, I want to apologize about the disturbance in our training exercise yesterday. But rest assured the entire faculty was busy investigating the cause of that failed summoning as to not repeat that terrible incident.”

There were quite a few students who were pleased and happy hearing that. Although, the guy in the seat in front whom Lyle had just met raised his hands and asked,

"Mirin-sensei, what about that strange dragon look-alike that killed the monster? What is it? is it magic? Who casted it?"

Hearing that, all the students started begun chattering and whispering towards each other but Lyle simply tilted his head ignoring the commotion.

“Silence! We also don’t know what it is, it’s already under investigation”

Then another student raised her hand and added fuel in the flame.

“Sensei, is it possible that one of us did it? We’re the only class present in that time and the exit was blocked so outside help shouldn’t have the capability to help!”

BOOOOOM!

As if a big meteorite just fell, the whispering student began to restlessly looking around them while making their own assumptions.

Lyle does not want anyone to find out, so he lowered his line of sight, hugging the desk to appear to be asleep.

NOTMYBUSINESSNOTMYBUSINESSNOTMYBUSINESSNOTMYBUSINESSNOTMYBUSINESSNOTMYBUSINESSNOTMYBUSINESS ~=.=~

Heavily murmuring his desire to escape, Lyle desperately headed for the world of dreams.

Maybe it’s just a coincidence but the girl who just said those intriguing lines glanced at him.

Feeling the heavy atmosphere, Feme decided to jump in

“A-anyway, T-Teacher, let’s begin the class, shall we?”

Lyle wanted to give Feme a thumbs up but couldn’t because if he do so he would be label suspicious.

“Ehem, enough about that, we do not know for sure if one of us really used that weird and mysterious magic but it will be clear after the investigation. Now that it is finish, let’s start our class”

Mirin took out a blue crystal in her pocket and put it on her desk.

She exerted enough mana and put it into the blue crystal. It began glowing and an image of a book floated at the top of the crystal.

This blue crystal is one of the objects people called artifact. This blue crystal can store an image or video of certain things the user wanted.

The book in the image was a very old book because it was rugged, dirty, and the cover as well as the pages were torn and coming off. In front of the cover was big letters “ENESI” although this was only part of it because the other letters couldn’t be read anymore.

“This will be our lesson for today! This was an old book with strange writings and characters on it. This was found inside a labyrinth by an adventurer who was venturing inside. Many scholars tried to decipher it but because it was so old, there are characters that cannot be read anymore. But because of the accumulated pages that can still be read and deciphered, the scholars concluded that this book was a book from the ancient civilization. It was believed that this book contained the true history of the world.”

“True history of the world?” One of the students listening asked.

“Yes, the real history. According to the scholars the book stated about the old gods in this world and how they perished!”

If only Lyle had animal ears at the top of his head, they would surely stand up after hearing what Mirin-sensei said.

Like a robot, Lyle’s head slowly rose up to look at his instructor. His ears perking up and his eyes was gleaming ad sparkling.

“Perished? So the gods can also die, teacher?” One of the students asked.

“Well, I’m also not sure but according to the book, the old gods who live in the place called Asgard one day with the invaders and perished. The book recorded it as ”

With that familiar place and word, Lyle’s expression stiffened.

His whole body, for some reason was trembling. He couldn’t help but suddenly stood up that shock everyone inside the classroom including Mirin.

“T-Teacher, t-that god who w-was written in that Book, was it O-odin? And was there n-names like Thor? Heimdallr? or frigg?”

Lyle asked who was still looking down on the floor.

“Eh, Y-yes, although Odin is the only name that came up because the other pages are torn and hard to read. I don’t

know about those names you’ve said. Why? And how come you know of it? The contains of the book should be classified. Beside this academy, all the kingdom should not disclosed such valuable information. Especially you who just transferred here, why do you know it Shin?”

“Ah! No, nothing, I, I just heard it from somewhere, ahahahahaha” Realizing what he did, he tried to act dumb

“S-sorry teacher, please continue! Ahahahaha please!” He said while returning to sit down. Enduring the suspicious stares from his classmates he hugged his desk and slump his face on the desk.

“Y-yes teacher please continue! I’m really interested on it” Feme said throwing a life boat on him.

“Okay, if you say so!”

With this, Lyle truly felt gratitude towards Feme who always saved him. But his utmost concern was still on what the old book recorded.

No doubt about it, it was from the Norse mythology! But why? This is another world you know! I thought I already understand this world but it seemed that this world still hold some mysteries on it!

Like a man who found a new goal in life he couldn’t help but be excited ‘I need to investigate it, kuuuuuu I can smell the scent of new adventures. It’s gotten interesting all of a sudden’

While Lyle was excitedly thinking about it, the class had already resumed.

*Dong*

Until the sound of the big bell was heard.

"Well then, this concludes our homeroom....Ah by the way, Shin if you have some tim….”

“I’m sorry teacher, but I’m a little bit busy today so I can-NOT come. I have something very important to do so I’m really sorry!”

Lyle immediately said while bowing. Actually, Lyle already expected to be called after class because of the matter regarding the old book. So when he heard Mirin, he immediately rejected it.

This cause Mirin to be dumbfounded and speechless.

“But this is also important, what I want to talk to you about is….“I found you!” ---eh?”

Mirin wanted to really talk with him but was cut off because of a voice from the sidelines that took her and Lyle by surprise.

There, standing at the door while out of breath was the talented girl who held the rank of 1st in the academy,

Angelica Strauss.

Lyle then looked at the girl that called out to him, looking rather stupid as he stared at her.

If 8 out of 10 people would call her “pretty” then the remaining 2 would call her “cute”. Whatever the case, she was a truly beautiful girl. Though she still seemed child-like in some respects her face was nevertheless beautiful and dignified.

“I have found you… *huff* huhu. So it is true that you are a student at this academy. I thought I had not seen your face before but I never would have thought that you were a transfer student of all things.” The girl went on to say that she wasn’t going to let him escape while showing a look of anger and joy in her eyes as she glared at him.

The students who were about to leave the area around the classroom door stopped stuck still in their positions, as if frozen.

Even the girls who are whispering towards each other stopped and stared at her.

“Hot damn! Isn’t that the number 1, Angelica Strauss the ?.”

“Huh, why is she here? And did I hear her wrong? Didn’t she just said ‘I found you?’ who is she referring!”

Academy’s number 1 holder; Angelica Strauss. Also called the because of his strong magic which is all based in thunder and lightning affinity. Being from the renowned noble family; the , her name spread like wildfire once she enrolled at the academy. And because she have no interest and always cold towards the opposite sex, she was called by another name ‘The unmoving mountain’.

Based from her background, appearance and abilities, she was top-notch.

Truly the Academy’s goddess.

Angelica was entering the classroom and was walking towards where Lyle was. Seeing this, Mirin asked,

“Shin, is the ‘Important thing’ you’re talking about...don’t tell me it’s her, right?”

Hearing this, the surrounding students are;

“It can’t be …”

The face muscles of the students twisted.

“What’s the goddess relationship with that commoner?”

“This tragedy!”

The shocked and distressed male students!

Lyle once again looked at the girl once more. He looked at her crimson hair that was tied up in the back, long legs and knee high socks…

Definitely familiar, where could I have seen her? Hm…

As he continued to stare at her, the gears in his head started to turn but then,

“So, Shin is the one you’re referring ‘very important’...could it be her?”

He was cut off from his thoughts. Then thinking this was a life boat he smiled and faces Angelica who was walking towards him

“Hey, why did you come here? I’m sorry did I make you wait for too long?” He said while he walks towards her.

Hearing this all the surrounding people was left stupefied; even Angelica herself couldn't help but stopped and stared at him with a surprised look.

When he arrived beside angelica, he put his hands in her shoulders. He then faced Mirin who was still looking dumbfounded at them and said confidently.

“Yeah, you’re right Teach! So I’m really sorry! I, no, we have VERY important thing to do, so…”

“Wa, wa, wa, wa”

Before Angelica realized it, she and Lyle were the center of attention for the entire classroom. Now that she finally realized it, she started to panic. Her face was dyed beet red.

“That’s that, see you tomorrow Teach!” Lyle said as he grabbed the flustered Angelica’s hand and dragged her out of the classroom.

After the two left, the students as well as the instructor just stared at their vanishing back without moving. But the one who was affected was without no doubt the beast princess who couldn’t believe what she have seen, was just sit there in dazed with a pale face.
