Chapter 167 167 Selena

"You are to report only to me and no one else," Boreas said to a small group consisting of two men and a lady.

"Yes sir" the three of them replied.

"Dismissed," Boreas said and they turned around and walked away.

The three of them walked away slowly, even their footsteps couldn't be heard by Boreas as they walked away, each of them wore a black cloak that covered their entire body and a hood covered their faces.

Boreas looked around before walking into his compound, after walking for a while he got to his door and opened it.

His house was fully lit by crystals and lanterns that hung around, as the door opened a lady stood up from the chair and looked back.

"Honey, how was your day?" the lady asked.

"I'm fine dear, are you asleep?" Boreas asked his wife.

"No, I was waiting for you, I know you are tired so I prepared a hot bath for you, and then we can eat dinner together"

"You haven't eaten, I told you to eat if I'm not back yet"

"I can't eat alone and the maid wouldn't agree even if I tell her you wouldn't punish her," the lady said.

"Okay, then maybe after dinner, we can have a little fun," Boreas said.

His wife smiled brightly and led him to the bath.

...

"Is that the head of the mage academy?" Leia whispered.

The four of them were shocked at the appearance of the lady, she had the face of a little kid.

'Wow, she looks so young, if someone told me she was a first-year student in the mage academy, I would believe the person without a single doubt'

Selena who was the leader of the mage academy stood still and stare at the four of them as they looked at her.

Ray couldn't believe someone like her could be the head of the mage academy, she had short black hair that stopped below her shoulders. She had a wide, round face with pointed chin.

Her eyes were big and greyish green, her skin was golden brown with a subtle rosy glow around her cheeks, she was average in height at the very least.

"What are you guys looking at?" a voice asked from behind.

The four of them turned around and looked at their back only to find Selena at their back.

"Woah..." Ray shouted and jumped backward.

Leia fell to the ground while Gabriel stumbled a little before gaining control of his body, Amelia also jump, the four of them were shocked beyond relief.

Ray quickly turned around to see if she was still there but she was not, she smiled and walked past them, their eyes followed her as she walked past them and stood in front of Ray.

The four of them didn't understand what just happened, it wasn't teleportation because when they turned around she was still there.

'Seeing her so close, she really looks like a kid, except for her height' Ray said inwardly.

"Huh! what did you just say?" Selena asked him.

Ray was so surprised that his jaws dropped down, 'Can she hear my thought, is that even possible, that's not possible'

Best

"So you are the mage that refused to attend the Mage academy?"

"I didn't refuse, I'm already a knight that's why" Ray replied.

"So you are already a knight..."

"Yes ma'am" Ray answered.

"Ma'am...do I look old to you" Selena snorted in a loud voice.

"No ma'am" Ray answered in fear.

Selena laughed before speaking, "You are not a knight yet, you are still afraid knights are supposed to be fearless, and you can still join the mage academy if you want to".

Ray shook his head before he didn't know how to reply, he didn't want Selena to get angry with him.

"Okay if you say so, I came to check you out, or rather check your spell, I heard you had dual attributes," Selena said.

"Yes," Ray replied.

Selena sniffed the air as if she perceived a bad odour, she kept sniffing the air while walking forward slowly, eventually she got to where Ray was and sniffed his body.

"Are you human?" Selena whispered in Ray's ears.

"Huh!..haha...what would I be... I'm human of course" Ray stuttered as he spoke.

Selena looked at Ray strangely and walked to his back, she sniffed his back and smiled widely but Ray couldn't see her.

'Shit, I didn't think this through, she's the head of the mage academy so my transformation may not fool her, maybe she already figured out that I'm a beast'

Ray stood still for a while but Selena was still at his back, he tried to turn around but he was stopped by her.

"Just stay still," Selena said behind Ray.

"What is she doing?" Alfred asked Authur.

"How would I know, maybe she's checking his potential as a mage" Authur said.

"Is that how a Mage's potential is being checked, Selena is really wonderful" James said.

"She's touching him, why is she rubbing on his back, huh!" Authur was surprised at what Selena was doing.

Selena placed her hands on Ray's back, and after a while, she slipped both of her hands inside his top.

'What is she doing, her hands are so cold...what is this feeling'

Ray felt himself losing consciousness, his head felt heavy and his eyes were closing and opening, then the system interface came up.

[Transformation skills failing]

[Returning to beast form in 5 seconds]

[4 seconds...]

[3 seconds...]

Ray mustered all the strength he had and jerked his body forward causing Selena's hands to slip out of his top.

Ray lost control and fell to the ground, slowly his eyes became clear and the dizziness he felt wore off.

Ray turned around and saw Selena smiling weirdly, Ray knew that she already know what he is.

'She knows I'm a beast, she just tried to remove my transformation, if she attacks me I have to defend myself'
