Chapter 140: Academy

(Please checked the book My Guardian System: The Trader and send powerstone.)

Last night at the banquet, it was his first time dancing at a party. Mina and Mayu had to teach him a few steps.

The most awkward was when he danced with Night as both of them were no good at it.

Yeman had to dance with his sister too. He did embarrass himself at that time. He had never even danced on earth. But, it was in the past now.

At the moment, he's changing clothes. He changed into his academy uniform.

Suddenly he remembered something. Right, he forgot to hand over Night's uniform. After changing his clothes, he transmitted to Night to pick it.

"M-My lord?!" She appeared before him from out of thin air just right that he finished changing.

"Here." he handed her a box. She asked about it and he told her that it was a dress. He urged her to change into it because they were going to the academy. 

She excitedly undressed.

Yeman widened his eyes as he looked at her. Night was on her underwear already. "M-my lord, where are you looking at?" She asked shyly.

In his mind, 'Now, why do you look so shy? Wasn't it you who was undressing in front of me?' Even though he knew that she was a former beast, there was no trace of it with the current Night.

Currently, they are inside his room. Staring at the pretty girl with a perfect curvaceous body on her underwear, even he would lose his sanity at the tempting scenario. Might be good sometimes to let himself fall to this kind of pleasure.

Seeing her lord slowly approaching her, although he was having a usual calm face, she could feel his lustful desire from within his eyes, Night blushed and waited for his advance. She felt strange palpating sounds from within her. It becomes stronger and stronger like someone was drumming inside. Especially when his warm hands touched her bare shoulder skins. And his mouth slowly approaching hers.

She did not look away and waited for it to land. Their breaths could be felt by each other.

"Uhm, My Lord?" Yeman woke up in a daze and saw himself staring at her blinking eyes.

Weirdly though, Night was still in her dress.

"Eh?" He was surprised. He was puzzled as to what had happened just now. "Is it an illusion?" He mumbled.

'Weird.' He thought and shook his head slightly to get rid of the thought.

"No it's nothing, take your time to change." He replied and went out of the room in haste. 

It was weird of him to have indecent thoughts towards her. Especially that she was looking at him not as a person, but as her creator. It wasn't a fair relationship in that sense. And it would only be a servant and master relationship. He dislikes it.

Night sighed and decided not to bother him.

The two of them rode in a carriage towards the main city. Going to the academy was just part of him being curious. Curious about the empire and also about this world's physics, if there was. For Night and the others, his goal for them was to learn from the basics. And of course to act as his spies.

He learned a few things about the empire's great families and the royal family from Mayu.

Based on his understanding from Mayu's words, the empire had a meritocratic law. Aside from the royal family, those families who obtained more achievements would gain many benefits.

Because of the power struggle, the current empire was in chaos. Not even the royal family would wish to interfere with them. And even if they did, it was already too late. Each family of those in the XIII great families already gathered considerable strength to rival the royal family. 

To put everything in order, the royal family decided to initiate a system that they called Ranking Month. 

Yeman hadn't much information about this so-called Ranking Month, and how it affected the power struggle of XIII great families.

Troublesome families.

Anyway,

The things that happened at the banquet were purely a coincidence. 

He did not plan that Mayu would reveal him as the real slayer of the boss. And he did not expect to encounter Jura in the duel.

Honestly, it was unexpected that Jura was so weak. He was wary of him from the start. But damn, he felt cheated. Jura's strength was even below Mina.

Looking at Jura who was standing lofty and looking down at him. He readied himself to receive an injury. But meh, the result was an overwhelming victory. He even used only a little of soul energy to beat him.

In truth, Yeman did not mean that Jura was weak as a whole. He even landed multiple attacks on him, it was also because his speed was lowered by the shield in his inventory. His only concern about Jura's strength was he lacked the power to dominate him. And also, Jura lacked toughness. If not because of the magical energy, covering his whole body, he believed that Jura would be wrecked in a punch.

When he punched him, even though he was covered by dense magical energies, Jura was still hurt by it. Considering that he used 100 and below soul energies only, Yeman wondered what would happen if he used the 200 and above soul energies. He believed that those assassins he encountered before were stronger than that of Jura who was supposed to be a genius from the great family.

Wait. Why he was back-lashing that person. That guy was probably crying now.

Yeman decided to stop lashing on Jura's back and pray for his fast recovery. He didn't mean physical, but mental. He must be traumatized after that duel because he left in haste. Well, if it happened to him he would probably do the same.

His other concern was the so-called summoned heroes. That topic was all over at the banquet. He heard that the Blessed Church summoned a group of heroes from other dimensions. And the reason why they were summoned was to save the empire from the demon's unceasing attacks.

Yeman shook his head and found it funny. While the summoned heroes were saving the empire from the demons, the XIII great noble families were more concerned about their power struggle. He was wondering about the reason behind it. 

Since he wasn't an expert on politics, he could only make a guess and could not give a fact. Because the royal family wasn't powerful enough, the inside battle was unstoppable even the empire was facing a predicament. That's why. Yeman could only shake his head towards it.

The XIII great families were leisurely increasing their power for their own benefits, while those so-called heroes were putting their lives in danger to save the empire. Haha. What a funny thing.

Regardless, based on how he heard it, those so-called heroes were like the protagonist in a novel and anime he used to watch back on earth. Fufu.

"My lord, we've arrived." While he was pondering about the empire's status, he heard Night called out to him.

He glanced outside and saw the towering gate in front. On top of it, the words Magical Academy was written in big letters, arching the gate.

"Let's go?"

"Okay!" Night nodded. But she noticed something in his voice. It was trailed with unease. But Night did not point it out as she believed with him. 

They climb down off the carriage.

After paying the coachman, Yeman glanced around him. He noticed outside the academy was a vast plain.

Canary fields could be seen a hundred meters away from them.

Entering inside wasn't a big issue for them as they have the identification certificate. Herro prepared it for them beforehand. Having a trusted friend was truly a big help. But after standing in front of the gate, Yeman found himself at a loss. He could not step further.

Wha—!?

Why?!

Even though he had already prepared himself regarding it. For some reason, the horror from that time had resurfaced from within.

The dark experience he had regarding the school haunted him. He did not expect that trauma to attack once again.

Why now? 

He could not step further?

His eyes trembled while having a blank face.

Seeing his weird reaction, Night widened her eyes. "My lord?" She called out to him while blinking. "Eh?" Night was surprised when there was no reaction from him.

"M-My lord?" She called once again, but still. No reaction from him.

Just then, Yeman woke up from a warm sensation embracing him.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Night wrapping him on her slender arm. Whereas his face was on her chest.

"Ahm…" when Night heard a low groan, she slowly released him and peered at his face. She brimmed in joy when she noticed that his eyes returned to normal.

Yeman was wondering why she had a tear in her eyes. Could she be… worried about him? Probably.

This was the first time that she felt so worried about him. He was wearing a ghastly face and seemed like he wasn't breathing. She had no idea why he was in that state a while ago, Night was so afraid.

"I'm fine now. Thank you, Sol?"

"M-My lo—"

Before she could finish her words, he put a finger on her lips to stop her. "Eman… Call me in that name from now on, Sol," He said calmly.

For some reason, the way he said it was different from how he said it before. "Mhm!" She nodded. "Eman," then she called out his name. Yeman then wiped the tears in her eyes.

With a rosy red face, she thought, whatever happened she would always be beside him. 

"Let's go, Sol?"

"Okay… Eman."

He breathed deeply.

No matter what, he was a different person now. And he was in a different world too. Right, he was different from that old self of him. And he had comrades now that would stand beside him. 

He forced himself a step forward.

After stepping inside, they were greeted by a huge place and two skyscrapers could be seen at the left and right. Woah! He did not expect it to look like this. It was even designed like a town castle.

This kind of academy could only be seen in the fantasy book.

They saw many buildings and students were busy walking everywhere. Some were doing some stunts. 

Those students who were roaming around probably the new students. Each of them was busy looking for their desired classroom to attend to.
