Chapter 55 Childish Demi-God

After hearing the professor's words, I understand that they will interrogate me about Flora.

"Okay." I said with my usual cold tone and went to his side.

Professor looked at me with a calculating look and began to walk.

'Probably he inspected me with his mana or aura. He is minimum 7th circle mage, so it is normal for me to not notice it. As nearly every 7th circle mage and above has become powerful like this with hard work. Hence they are very good at using mana and aura.'

Me and professor got out of the class and began to walk.

While we walking I opened my mouth:

"Can I know the reason of, why a 7th circle mage is bringing me to Headmaster instead of just assistant?" I asked without breaking my posture and facial expression.

Professor looked at me calmly and said:

"You will know the reason in the headmaster's room."

After this we didn't speak, just silently went to the headmaster's room.

We arrived in front of a room and the professor gestured for me to go in alone and I did what he wanted.

The headmaster's room was huge, though calling it a room would be not entirely true, as it was a library rather than a room.

Even from just a look, I could tell that this room contained more than ten thousand books and research papers.

While I was looking at the room, a beautiful woman appeared In front of me.

The woman was in her late thirties with light purple hair and purple eyes. She was about 180cm with a fit body, or I assumed like this as she was wearing a robe.

Well, this beautiful purple haired woman was currently known as Lydia Achard, 9th circle lighting specialized mage.

Though this was total bulshit, as I knew that this woman, who is front of me was the founder of the Academy of Aora and its first head headmaster Aora Thaleix, a demigod who has a portion of the authority of space, who was trying to rise to godhood for thousands of years while disguised as a different person and becoming headmaster for every generation.

Why? Well, because becoming the headmaster of the most popular academy has it's own advantages and benefits.

For example, she can do her research without being bothered by politics, she can use the academy's resources for everything and she is free to do anything as long as she doesn't harm the kingdom. She has even right to refuse the king's order as long as the kingdom isn't in grave danger.

'Well, it is best to have a good relationship with this woman, maybe we can use each other for our benefit. I can give her the way to become a god and she can help me with other bothersome things. But first I have to greet her.'

"It is an honor to meet you, Archmage Lydia." I said and bowed my head with respect.

When I spoke like that, Lydia frowned and said with displeasure:

"Hey! Stop it. It gives me creeps if you talk like that!"

'I forgot that she is like this. A free spirited woman who dislikes manners.' I thought when I saw Lydia's speaking manner.

'I have to remind myself that every old person becomes either too serious and grumpy or too free spirited and childish.'

"I am sorry Archmage Lydia. I can't disrespect an Archmage like that." I said with an apologetic smile and bowed again.

Lydia who heard me pouted and crossed her arms.

'Is she really minimum 1000 year old?' I thought.

Lydia pointed at me and said with questioning tone:

"Who are you?"

'Does she really not know? Or is she asking what really I am?'

"I am Kayle Ceurie, adopted son of C-" While I was speaking Lydia cut off my speech in half.

"I didn't ask that! I am asking you who are you that, a goddess following you around?" Lydia asked with an accusing tone.

'Hmmm, she noticed that Ilelia is following me around. Well, I should expect it. She is a demigod after all.'

I wore a confused expression and looked at her as if she is insane.

"What are you talking about, Archmage Lydia?"

Lydia puffed her cheeks and looked at me, after that she let out a breath.

"Do you know that I hate liars the worst?"

"I too hate liars, Archmage Lydia." I said while emphasising the 'Lydia'.

When I spoke like this, Lydia looked around and whistled.

"I don't know what you are talking about, student Kayle." Lydia said with stupid expression.

After seeing this I bowed again and said with a calm tone:

"Look at this coincidence, I too don't know what you were talking about earlier, Archmage Lydia."

Lydia wore a thinking expression and said:

"Let's speak at the same time and sign a secrecy contract."

"What will we say and will we sign the contract before the act or after the act?" I said with an understanding expression.

Lydia stretched his hand and a paper, probably a contract appeared in her hand.

Lydia make the contract a paper ball and threw at me.

'Wouldn't it be disrespectful to Esnera if I sign this contract?' I thought but didn't think about it after that. I had a goddess on my side after all, there was no need to wary of some non-combatant goddess.

"Sign this and I will tell you my identity and you will tell your identity." Lydia said.

"I would love to sign this contract Archmage Lydia but I want to add some conditions." I said with a polite smile.

"Sure, whatever." Lydia said and dismissed.

Well, I added some conditions to avoid from attacked by her and forced to give her information.

I didn't add anything drastic, even though Lydia was acting childish, she was a demigod. She would kill me even before I sign the contract if I added something drastic.

Anyway, I bit my thumb hard enough to bleed and dropped my blood to contract.

"Are you ready? When I say 1 we will say our identity." Lydia said with childish excitement.

I nodded at Lydia's childish antics and waited for her to count down.

"3"

"2"

"1"

"I am Aora Thaleix."

"I am the assistant of Goddess Ilelia."
