And INN

I’m planning to go to Mage School to ask information about scholarship but while walking on the sidewalk I sense a big area Mana fluctuation in the surrounding. Even it's just small and continuous fluctuations like its telling me that someone wants some attention.

Since I enter the city I already sense small fluctuation in the air, but not the kind that makes you turn your head, because the flow of Mana in the air goes in one direction, so I follow it because of curiosity.

After 10 min fast walk, I saw some kind of tea shop, I buy some green herb, and ask the owner if I can go to his roof after I got there I saw a blurry image like woman form with wizard hat

I notice that she's looking at me.

"Hi?..." I said

The surrounding Mana disperse then the blurry form appear more clear, a women with violet hat, violet one-piece dress, which show her cleavage sitting on small table drinking tea, around 16years old

Black hair and black eyes

"Ara~ ara~, I got hook a fish on my first day..." woman said playfully

"Ahmm.. Ms. beautiful... sorry for disturbing your tea session?... I gotta go..." I said while turning around to leave because I'm having not a good premonition.

'Her tone like Ms. Nora trying to match me up with Kara..., but can differentiate clearly that she's just trying to look matured...' while whispering in the heart

"Did I tell you to leave?.." she said coldly then, invisible pressure runs on my body which trying to make me plat on the ground, but I try to hold it with my physical strength and look at her straight...

"What do you think you’re doing Ms. Beautiful?" I said while still have a smiling face on her.

‘The fuck if I'm just average child I think I'm already cripple'

"Ara~, ara~ the little boy acting tough," she increase the pressure slowly and then I start to cover my body with Mana, after 5min looking at each other, I check my Mana almost 60% has been used so I control Mana in surrounding to filled my body enhancement skill to continue

After a little longer, I turn pale some sweat on my forehead she stops sending pressure.

"Uh Ha!*" I inhale a deep breath to relax my body then turn around to leave because the pressure keeps dispersing the Mana, it will be hard for me to escape once stay longer.

"Ara~ ara~, leaving without talking with Ms. Beautiful here... am I that I hateful?" the woman said

I didn't pay attention to her and try to leave.

"Are you here for the scholarship?" Woman.

"Thump*!"

I stop my movement then turn around to her

"What do you mean?" I said seriously; in my heart, I already curse this vixen a hundred times...."fuck!"

"I mean, you already passed the scholarship test" looking at me, then she stands

"I'm Eraline Hilaros a teacher in Syntaria Central Academy, visiting here to look for some talent, would you like to be my disciple?" Era proudly introduces herself and then ask me.

"Can I just take the scholarship?" I ask her and she looks like seeing some unknown being on the planet...

"..... "

"I'm Eraline Hilaros the youngest teacher of Syntaria Central Academy.." Era said

"So if there's a badge or identification card that can recognize me that I passed the scholarship?" I said

"..... "

"..... "

We look at each other around 10 seconds...

She tries to go back to her composure...

“I’m the youngest teacher a genius who acknowledge personally by the King of Syntaria" Era

"I was acknowledged as youngest and most talented genius in whole Kingdom who lived in this world" I said proudly and look serious

".... "

"Arrgghh... If you are the most talented in this Kingdom why I never heard of you!?...." Era said while her eyebrow twitching...

"I don't know my mother said I’m the youngest genius in the Kingdom and my father acknowledged me too" I said while grinning, I don't know why I feel like in this way I’m winning

"sigh**" Era

"Fine enough of this... let get back to it, I Eraline Hilaros accepted you as my first disciple"

"Wait... I didn’t ask you to be my master..." I think she loose some screw

"Grrr... do you know that is your honor to be my first disciple.." Era

"This cannot be!" I said strongly

"Why..?" Era

"First I don't think being you're disciple will gain more than the loss, I'm not sure why my intuition told me... said what the benefit of being your disciple? Second you! If I'm average person I already die or at least injured to your test" I look at to her stating my opinion

"I.... if you’re my disciple I will protect you... I will teach everything I know to you...

And I try it to adventurer before… they just plat on grounds" Era said

"tsk, adventurer do you see I'm only 12 years old kid here? " I said it sarcastically

Then she realized she use pressure to some 2nd ranker adventure to fall down, but not a child can handle...

"But you handled it," Era said while blushing.

"If not, I'm crippled now?" I said

"....”

"What do you want, this is scholarship badge and you should be my disciple." Era

"Scholarship, I can pass it, even not by you, you’re not going to accept me as disciple if not...

You can be my instructor but cannot be my master..." I said, and then she realized I'm right on my first statement but the second...

"Fine this is the scholar badge follow me, we're going to my place first after a week we will go to Syntaria Central Academy! You should be thankful to me, you just don't know that you didn't treasure this opportunity, I'm gonna make you beg to be my disciple hmm... " Era throw to me a badge, then walk toward to the academy here in the City of Denoso.

While walking after 10min she turns her head to me.

"By the way what's your name?" She asked

"I’m Jack," I said then she continue to walk

After walking 20min, we pass a big gate and enter the Manor

In 1st floor there's a big Sala, big kitchen big bathroom, maid room and 4 room on the second floor, there’s 1 human look 18 years old and 1catkin maid 14yrs old but she looks 9 welcomes us...

They look mother and child because of same brown hair and black eyes...

"Sister Dina this is Jack give him a key to room on the second floor, he is my student" Era

Dina is the human maid, she looks curious because 6 more days before scholarship exam, but she didn't ask Era and just give a key to me.

"Ms. Eraline Hilaros" I called her

"Why is there a problem?" Era curiously ask me

"Should I call you Ms. Eraline Hilaros or can I call you just Sister Era? Because it’s too long, or if you want I will call you Era like a lover," I said to with my childhood mode.

"Lo..love..lover what are you talking about, your still a brat. You should call me Eraline, no… Sister Era will be more fitted" She flushed red from the neck to ear while with a tone of reprimanding.

"Okay Sister Era, can I hug her?" I point to the catkin maid, then the catkin shiver when I sad that...

"Hu.... hug Nina? You.. where do you... learn that. You’re still a kid, wait until... your adult.." Era said

"What are you talking about Sister Era?" I sneak to Nina the start to pet her head,

"You know she looks fluffy I think I like her, look she’s happy," I said while playing ears of Nina.

"Sexually harassment of any living being is not permitted by the Kingdom Law, hope you behave well here in my manor." After getting back to composer Era declared it to me.

"Ok, can I use the kitchen? It’s already getting dark, I need to buy my ingredient first." I said to Era

"You don't have to cook, Nina and Dina will handle your food and needs so you don't have worry," Era said

The maids nod to me,

"No! I will cook my food!" They all look at me because I shout.

"Hehehe sorry I just think of new recipe so I want to cook hihihi" I smiled at them awkwardly

"Fine, you can cook yourself and there are many ingredients in the kitchen, so use temporarily then buys your ingredients tomorrow with Dina, it's already getting dark so better not to go out” Era

In the kitchen with Dina, I ask her if there's chicken here, she shows me at the backyard and then I get two, after cleaning it neatly I tried to marinade it for at least 20minutes, since there's a rice, I cook well for 6 regular serving

"You're cooking too many rice, can you eat it all?" Dina said looking at me full of a question because she will plan to cook for them.

"Don't worry, nothing will be a waste to it" I smiled at her then continue.

After marinade it, I start cooking,

I prepare a sauce, which really compliments my chicken,

I create apple juice which good if it’s cold,

I know that Dina and Nina are both Mages, I ask her if she can do something about that.

While speaking with Dina, I found out Dina and Nina is personal maid of Era, Dina serves Era for 5 years, and Nina from 2 years ago, Nina become her personal assistance in school, that way Nina can attend the lecture without worry, even though there's no war and there's no slavery of other race, a backer is still a backer.

There are those rich, bully poor can be seen in the Kingdom, well more on the academy because of the ego of those children...

There is aristocrat system, but the majority of this is human, beside the Syntaria Central Academy there's a four school branch school which one of it is in the Denoso City which you can apply for a scholarship for the main school which is the Syntaria Central Academy.

Most of the student spend 3-7 years pass the exam, so you can say how good I am to start at 12 of age. Well, you can enter the main school if you have money which cost the tuition fee, which is high for an ordinary citizen like me, The student there are also differentiated by two.

In term of uniform, there's a simple rule

So long as your left sleeve will show one lining around your left arm means you study through a scholarship for free.

Two lining means you paid the tuition fee.

Then from rank 1~7: Black, Grey, Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Gold.

It encourages one's individuality, you can simply wear an ordinary T-shirt with one black lining around your arms, then you can be considered as free scholar + rank1 student.

Or wear luxurious clothes with Lining to determine rank and scholar or free.

After I'm done, I prepare all rice in big container, a big plate for my marinated chicken, sauce container, my apple juice and I bring small bowl for my sauce, one glass, and one plate on table for me.. after I finish preparing I see era and Nina looking at me even Ms. Dina in kitchen looking at me, I didn't mind them I put rice on my plate, get some chicken I put it on my sauce then bite it slowly

"GULP**, "GULP*", GULP*"

The three swallowed their saliva; I find it amusing when I'm bullying someone with my dishes after a small bite, I look at them...

"How about you get a plate and we eat together?" I said then the 3 woman just like with blink of an eye, they already got their plate and sit down, to eat, I'm starting to think that they have also had storage, and where they hide that plate?

"Delicious... This is the first time I eat ... something better than... the famous Hotel in the Kingdom" Era aid while eating

"”um”"

The two maids nod and agree

"How about you finish eating before speak?" I said while grinning

"You... how about became my disciple, I’m gonna paid you per month just stay in my house and cook for me? I'm gonna buy all ingredient you need?..." Era declared proudly

"You asked other, your offer is like hiring some chef working for you, not disciple…" Jack

Era smile while turning red

Then I laughed,

After we finish eating, basically nothing left...

"My Lady Era, Sir Jack, we really sorry for eating with you together I know it’s not good etiquettes, ask for..." Dina said

The two realized they should not eat along with their employer.

"Enough its I insist it so don't worry, and it’s fun eating together do you think so?... " I said Era agree to look at me said.

I go near to the ear of Dina and whisper

"If you keep calling me Sir Jack, I'm gonna call you, Milady Dina how is it?" I said jokingly

"After we go to the academy you should visit me if you have time, understand?..." Era said then I heard

"Gulp*!"

"Sure, its ok so long you don't shout me out, I'll visit, I don't even know anyone there except you in the first place," I said

"I'm not sure why... but why when I'm talking to you look like not some naive child..." Era said

"Maybe you’re in love with me, " I said to end that topic, Its gonna be troublesome to explain it, so I just shrug it

"I..in love. y..you..." Era flushed again then stops speaking

"pfft*! Pffft*! Sister Era, don't think too much going to be old faster...

Sister Dina, which is my room? I want to take bath and sleep after cleaning here" I said

"Don't Sir…, I mean Jack don't need to clean this Nina will do it, and your room is at the first door on the left " Dina said

"Why Sister Dina called you jack while she keeps calling me milady? Sister Dina your bias!!!" Era said
