KingSilver Sort of an apology, my last chapter was not the best, it's done its job, but it felt a little off, so that's on me. It feels weird even for me.


Boreas POV

Healing class was fun, we got fake human-like dolls and even actual patients to actually test our magic on. Nobles would go out of their way to pay and come to the island to receive the highest level of treatment, and even among the elite class, I was better than most. Today was a full-on healing class for the whole day, it was definitely the most exhausting one, I'm also the only one who had patients reject me a lot despite Theo vouching for me.

Tch, nobles, and their stupid vain egos. But there were at least a lot of commoners who got to receive free treatment, though they were chosen at random, since a few of us rejected to work with them, I filled their role, and it was exhausting, especially having to be nice and socializing with people as I healed them and give them some recommendations.

Our class is basically hand-on experience since most of us in the elite class have basic knowledge of healing people already, but we are ordered to ask for help often since we are not perfect.

After returning and finally convincing the pope to leave, Eve returned to class.

KingSilver He's not important yet, but I will promise that the pope will make screentime later.

Thinking that she was funny, she convinced a girl to have me try to put makeup on her, I did my job and I applied makeup so good that every noble lady actually thought about hiring me. The makeup game of this world is less advanced and simpler, and you'll be surprised by how many morticians or funeral directors know how to apply makeup since it's needed to help certain people look presentable.

But the day wasn't all too peaceful as a patient came in grabbed my arm and pulled me in, he whispered something to me and then passed out within the next couple of seconds despite my best of trying to keep him stable or alive.

Baron Johnson Phillip Burton. That's what he said before passing away, I called for Theo and we moved his body where I figured out the issue within a couple of seconds, the poison was made from a spore of a red snail fungus, it's very rare, and grows only in a certain region, I called Mari and had her do a little research and this baron was indeed from the area, but when I told Theo about it, he said that we don't have enough evidence, and even if Isabella has made it easier to prosecute nobles, the nobles usually hire people to scare the victims behind the eyes of the authorities.

"Sir, why is Silver graded so high? A patient died under his watch." Richard asked once we gathered back in class and saw our grades

We didn't tell them the baron's name yet, but it was revealed that the patient was poisoned and the poison killed him due to the long transport. This guy just couldn't take his second place in peace.

"Mr. Orson, it's simple, that's because the patient's death was not his fault and the staff only complimented his effort for still trying to save the patient." Theo replied

"His effort clearly wasn't good enough." Richard crossed his arms, "It will costly affect our reputation as being of the elite class."

If I have the opportunity, I'm robbing him.

3rd Person POV

In the dimly lit throne room of the vampire king's palace, a vampire approached with a report, bowing low before the imposing figure of the king seated upon the throne. The king looked to be in his youthful prime, however was much older, he was an attractive tall man about 192cm tall, has white hair, red eyes, and a perfectly trimmed beard. The centuries-old king went by the name of Vladimir Roman Dracula.

"My lord," the vampire reported, "I bring news regarding the demon you tasked with infiltrating Lucille Magic Academy."

The vampire king leaned forward, his gaze sharp and penetrating as he listened intently to the report. He had invested considerable resources into gathering intelligence on the academy, seeking any weaknesses or vulnerabilities that could be exploited to further his own agenda.

"Continue." the vampire king commanded.

"It appears that our operative was discovered and apprehended by the academy's forces." the vampire responded, "He did not have any adequate time to study the internal structure of the academy's magic barrier, but our other human spy did say that it is more than possible for any demon to stay inside of the barrier...getting into the barrier itself should be the problem."

"Have we been able to recover any information from the demon directly?" the vampire king inquired, "We spent a long time on putting in that position."

"I'm afraid not, my lord. The academy has proven to be quite adept at shielding its secrets, and our operative was unable to provide us with any useful intelligence before his demise."

The failure of their mission was unacceptable, and he would not rest until he had devised a new plan to infiltrate the academy and to also get revenge upon a certain white-haired human.

"Very well," the vampire king said, "Inform the others that we will redouble our efforts to gather information on the academy. We cannot afford any more setbacks."

With a dismissive wave of his hand, the vampire king signaled for the vampire to leave, his mind already racing with plans to strike back at the academy with even greater force. But for now...

"Lance." he talked to a man who was standing by his side, "Inform half of those spies...have them transform and eliminate the brat at all cost, if the rumors about him are true, he could be an annoying obstacle for our lord."

Boreas POV

Hmm, a smell seems to have hit my nose and it's quite bloody familiar. I was on my way to the student council office and I definitely noticed that the shortcut was a bit too quiet for my liking, but...I sensed about 10 of these guys nearby, I then took out my call crystal and signaled to Mari.

"This hallway seems to really stink." I said aloud before whispering to Jett, "Go tell Mari where I am."

"Can you handle yourself, Boreas?" he asked

"Yeah, but just in case...that's why call her here."

The light in the hallway then went out as I summoned an aura blade and channeled light magic through it. I gripped the hilt of my sword tightly, feeling the surge of energy coursing through me. With a flick of my wrist, the blade ignited with a brilliant light and cast light to reveal the 10 vampires surrounding me.

As they lunged forward, I moved with lightning speed, my blade slicing through the air and any spell in halves as all exploded into smoke where vampires emerged right out of them, I then lunged down and forward and the first assassin met the searing edge of my sword right through its neck as I then twist my body and parry the second one. One had a sword aimed straight for my stomach, but my blade intercepted it and I used my momentum to disarm them and knocked it away.

These guys were weak, rank 4 in magic, but in their attempts to assassinate me, they chose a closed space, so larger scale spells would only either alert everyone or damage their comrades, and in a close range space...I'm the best. 

Anyone with a weapon in my hand, I managed to cut their muscles or disarm them, and as I managed to disarm a good number of them eventually, I would fake a hit at the vulnerable ones, causing another to aim at my back, I duck down, spin, and kick him back into another one before throwing my sword like a javelin and had it pierced their chest. I created another one and used it to cut another down as they tried to jump me when I was disarmed.

Little by little, I managed to cut each of them down, but unlike a regular person, even with healing magic, they also heal faster due to their quick regeneration, I could use their blood for some research as the goddess blesses them slightly faster than me and my body. I slowly cut them all down and almost all of them were incapacitated, one still tried to the very end but a blast of water appeared from the top of his head and cashed down on him at full force.

"You were fast." Mari commented, "Jett is already calling Theo."

"I run to the student council to have this reported but I'm the secretary of the student, so consider it reported."

"Why do you put yourself at the center of every chaos?"

"I don't know, but it's pretty fun, right?"
