Chapter 420 137 - Back to the Aspakeony Academy (part 11)

"..."
The last lecture of the day was coming to an end and the black-haired boy was looking more grim than ever.
He missed a few more opportunities to show his supposed evilness but he didn't have all that many gripes about it.
What he was concerned about though, was that he was finally reunited with the girl he liked and his best friend, but because of his own plans, he knew he shouldn't show off his affection without compromising them immediately – or worse, getting the first prince even deeper in trouble than he already was.
Originally Zoemi didn't expect such sentiment to be a problem, but as not even hours, but mere minutes went by he found himself wanting to interact with the pair behind him as he always did.
He just... really missed them...
Alas, the lecture came to an end and all the students bean getting up from their seats, free for their oen devices until the next day.
When he first returned to the classroom, Zoemi thought of something that would make it show that he was gunning for Miriette, planning to steal her right from under Horeo's nose.
That consisted of getting behind the future royal couple when they will be going out, getting between them, and leading the dark-haired girl away with a smooth but nasty comment that would leave Horeo stunned.
...but when it came to this, the black-haired boy found himself not wanting to do it...
He actually didn't trust himself enough to pull it off, and with how things were for him at the moment, the initial getting between the pair would most likely end up in him just giving them both a long hug and getting sentimental.
And that was a complete no-go. Absolutely not. Not with how things should be to make everything right.
Therefore, when Miriette and Horeo begin to leave, Zoemi didn't budge. Not even when both of them looked at him with worried faces.
He just smirked and made a little gesture as if shooing them away, not willing to be bothered.
Soon enough the only people left were him and two girls.
The green-haired Senria Parrats and the sharp-eyed red-haired Kierul Berra Helterose, both of whom the Zoemi didn't particularly want to be around.
The three of them looked at each other, and inadvertently, Zoemi's face turned bitter.
"What it is, miss Helterose, miss Parrats? Already planning on fabricating more accusations against me?"
He sighed, reaching for his crystal cane, and stood up while supporting himself on the desk.
Zoemi staying behind had another reason aside from him thinking things through.
Even though he hasn't been using any spells, the already unfortunately familiar pain was making his body hard to move.
The phantom pain from his broken mana reservoir was making him nauseous while also hampering his movement – after all, even without any actual physical damage, it felt like his abdomen was tearing itself apart.
"...n-no...! Lord Banemor... you... during the tournament for young lady Victureo's hand, you have talked with my older brother..."
"...hmm...?"
Surprisingly, it wasn't even the sharp-eyed Kierul but the green-haired Senria who stepped up and spoke in a surprisingly apologetic voice, making Zoemi raise his brow and look at her intrigued.
"I do remember talking with sir Hevoroy, he made a good impression on me. And certainly wasn't aware of his younger sister's love for gossip and false accusation."
Zoemi scoffed, intentionally being as mean as the social norm would allow to before taking things too far, fully intending to walk past the two girls and leave.
"N-now hold on! Senria just wants to tell you what her older brother asked her to!"
Young lady Helterose stepped forward, blocking the black-haired boy's path, and declared, while trying to sound confident – which certainly wasn't how she actually felt, especially evident because of how much she kept glancing at the boy's hand – or more accurately, the crystal ane of his.
"And what gave you the idea I am willing to hear her say it? Sir Hevoroy can send me a letter or even contact me with a message spell, I don't mind. What Id o mind is spending time with both of you alone in the same room."
"...!"
"...!"
Zoemi declared without stopping, limping his way to the exit even though it would mean that he will bump into the red-haired girl.
"B-but...!"
Young lady Helterose stuttered, not even trying to act with confidence anymore.
"(Master...! You are spilling out a lot of mana, that might be why you are feeling so bad...!)"
"(We will try to take level out the excessive amount that stirs up your entire reservoir like we did before, but you should better lay down!)"
Zoemi's two sentinels contacted him sounding extremely worried as they sensed that the boy's sharp response and lack of patience weren't due to talking with people he didn't like, but rather because of the amount of pain that he was in was steadily increasing.
"Lord Banemor, my brother doesn't know that you are awake yet – I will contact him, of course, but the thing is he said that if..."
The green-haired girl spoke up again, sounding even more apologetic, but honestly no matter what, in Zoemi's state neither her words nor intentions made much difference.
"Tsk... You can use the message spell to contact me later. Now I don't have time to listen. That's why... MOVE OUT OF MY WAY, KIERUL...!"
"!!!!!!!"
The black-haired boy clicked his tongue and answered while breathing through his teeth when a sharp spasm of pain almost bent him in half, making the boy raise his voice and growl at the sharp-eyed girl in his way... who flinched, and backed off while clenching her legs together while putting her hands to her crotch all tearful, too scared to even let out a voice.
|... too much... teleport me back to my room and.... try to make it stop, please...!|
*WHOOOM*
As the agony was only increasing, the boy stopped caring about his surroundings and cried out to his sentinels, who listened to him immediately and got him away by making him sink like a rock into his own shadow.
"Eh...?!"
That left both Senria – who let out the shocked noise – and Kierul alone.
"*sniffle*"
With only her best friend, the red-haired girl trembled while holding back the tears of extreme embarrassment.
"Kierul... are you okay...?"
The green-haired girl asked, approaching her with concern.
"...no..."
Young lady Helterose shook her head as her face was completely red from deep shame.
"...ever since lady Espine had... dropped me... I already told you before..."
She spoke while biting her lips very hard.
"He was scary..."
"Oohh... oh, no..."
Kierul admitted with shame without moving her hands away or relaxing her legs, which caused Senria to glance down and realize what the problem was.
"I am so sorry that this happened to you because you wanted to help me out...!"
She gasped apologetically and pated the red-haired girl's shoulder.
"But... since lady Espine did that to you... this always happens when you are scared, right? Maybe you should ask the commoner girl for help since she is back and all...? With her healing attribute, maybe she could help...?"
"...m-maybe..."
Senria pointed out while Kierul gulped down her saliva and nodded.
-------
"(...buu...! And that is what I stayed behind for instead of going with master...? I thought they would be plotting against him, not that they really wanted to have a talk...! He need me!)"
The other one of Zoemi's sentinel that created the shadow gate through the boy's shadow complained before leaving the classroom after not really learning anything useful.
