BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53 - 16
Academy registration will end today. Because of that, the SkyDome hall was currently filled with registrants. They are not only from the nobility but also from the common people. The queue itself becomes 6 lines that are snaking long, and in one of the queue lines whose position is far from Ziel. A beautiful girl with long, straight, purple-white hair was lining up there. Behind her was a boy with slicked-back hair that was the same color as the girl in front of him.
Right now the both of them were watching Simon Voskila who was trampling on the other prospective student. And suddenly there was a sound accompanied by pressure throughout the hall. Everyone there felt the pressure but not for the both of them. When the person who exerted the pressure appeared, the whitish-purple-haired boy simply grinned scornfully.
"Lady, I think you are overestimating the humans. You know, even I alone can annihilate them all right now." The boy said to the girl in front of him using telepathy..
"Berith, you must not underestimate humans. Don't you remember that once our king died at the hands of humans?" The girl's soft and melodious voice reminded the boy behind her. As she mentioned, the boy with the slicked-back hair was named Berith. And the girl in front of him was Lilith, one of the 5 main fallen gods currently on the Clorius continent.
She was assigned by their organization called the 'God Domain' to investigate and exterminate what the humans were planning. They couldn't carelessly act considering what had happened in the Argaint Kingdom. So, Lilith who was assigned from her organization sneaked in as a prospective student in the academy founded by humans.
"That thing is our dark past, and it's just a coincidence that our king was defeated by a human! But now the power of humans is much weaker than it used to be. Every decade they will experience degradation. So, what should we be afraid of?" Berith still couldn't accept what Lilith said. Because according to him the Divine Race is the strongest race in the Clorius continent and the others are just ants that he can trample on at any time.
"It's true what you say. That's why we are here. We will easily spy on humans if we mingle with humans. And if we find anything that can increase the strength of the human race. We must either seize it or destroy it." She said coldly to Berith.
"Lady, don't you feel disgusted jostling with them? I even feel sick of being in the same place as this ant-like creature." Berith kept complaining to Lilith.
"Haah... If you keep grumbling like that, I'll have someone else accompany me." Lilith sighed softly because she was tired of hearing complaints from her subordinates.
"Fine, I understand. But I won't hesitate to kill anyone who bothers you in this place." He then looked at the other prospective students who had always been looking at Lilith with lustful eyes. It's only natural because Lilith is currently wearing a sleeveless shirt with a black skirt above the knee. She gets a lot of lewd stares from the male prospective students around her.
"Yeah, but you shouldn't overdo it. Remember what we came here for. So don't make an unnecessary fuss." Lilith was also disgusted by the stares of the male prospective students around her, because of that she allowed Berith to punish them.
"Hahaha... Alright, Lady." Berith pointed his finger at the prospective student who had the most perverted gaze. He intended to fire magic to blind his eyes. But before he could do that. A gaze that came from nowhere locked onto the both of them with pressure like a waterfall.
""Ugh..."" They both groaned against the pressure placed on them.
"Kugh... I who is a fallen god am suppressed like this! Of all people! Don't joke!" Lilith screamed in her heart and tried to fight the pressure with her strength. But this is the same as Simon before but on a much stronger scale. The more Lilith fought back the stronger the pressure she felt. The floor beneath her feet began to crack.
"Urrgh... Lady! what kind of pressure is this! Who could do this to us!? Is that another fallen god!?" Berith's situation is much worse than Lilith's. He endured the pressure until the blood gushed from his nose and ears.
The people around them were completely unaware of what had happened to them. Because they try their best to act casual so as not to look suspicious.
"Aaaahhh..." They no longer cared about their purpose of coming there. Right now the most important thing for them was to survive. When Lilith and Berith felt they couldn't hold it in anymore and prepared to unleash their full power. Suddenly the force pressing on them disappeared.
"Hah...hah...hah... What the hell! Who would dare to do something like this to us!?" Berith breathed heavily and almost screamed out loud with his mouth in anger. Apart from anger, there was also fear in his voice.
"I don't know. For sure that person is very dangerous. And that person already knows where we are." Lilith was still having trouble breathing from the previous pressure. And her pretty face was wet with sweat. Although for some prospective students there will find it very sexy.
Lilith looked around the hall for the person who had done the previous thing. But no matter how many times she searched, she couldn't find the person even though she had used search and detection magic. She as a fallen god should be able to immediately find that person even though it is within tens of miles. But she was astonished that the existence of that person seemed to have disappeared from this kingdom. After she retracted her magic, her face became gloomy.
"Lady, are you okay?" Berith asked after seeing the look on Lilith's face which turned gloomy.
"It's okay. It's just that I can't find that person anywhere at all." She spoke in a slightly trembling voice.
"So, Lady. What should we do next? If that person finds out about us. Wouldn't it be dangerous if we stayed here?" Berith became frightened by the existence that even Lilith couldn't detect.
"No. If that person is indeed from the human side and wants to guard this place he will come face to face with us or warn us not to mess around in this school. He won't leave a dangerous existence moving around freely in the school he wants to protect." Lilith explained her analysis to Berith.
"So what do you mean?" Berith still didn't quite understand what Lilith was saying.
"I mean that person isn't from the human side. He doesn't seem to be from either side. Maybe the pressure is a warning not to get involved with him. Berith, we have to be more careful in the future. This mission isn't as easy as we thought." Lilith said to Berith with a serious face.
"Okay, Lady." Berith nodded slightly and looked around. He even forgot to punish the boy who looked at Lilith lewdly before.
***
"Haa..." Ziel opened his eyes and sighed heavily.
"What's wrong, Ken?" Clara asked Ziel who suddenly sighed.
"Nothing. Maybe I'm just tired of having to queue all this time." Ziel didn't notice that Clara had been watching him all along. At that time he was suppressing the two fallen gods, so he didn't pay much attention to his surroundings. Moreover, Clara's gaze did not contain any malicious intent. When hostile gazes were directed at him, no matter what Ziel's condition at that time he would have realized right away.
"Hmm... Is that so?" Clara sounded doubtful and subconsciously continued to stare at his face. When their eyes met. Clara realized that she had been staring at Ziel's face for a long time. She then immediately turned away her blushing face while holding her cheek. Beatrix who saw the exchange of the two just shook her head and smiled wryly. Finally, after waiting for 2 hours, only 1 person left in front of their queue.
Not long after that, it was their turn. But just as they were about to head to the registration desk, they heard a commotion from the entrance of the building. There, the prospective students who had been lining up in the queue suddenly stepped aside, as if to give way to someone, more precisely because they were afraid to approach the person who came.
Out of curiosity, Ziel and the others looked towards the source of the commotion. And there they could see a very beautiful girl with long straight black shiny hair with bangs in front of her walking towards the registration desk. The girl is the same age as Ziel and Clara. She was wearing an all-black dress with a few white ornaments. On her wrist, she wears a black bracelet that matches her dress. Her cold face looked a little sad and lonely. The girl who had just arrived was the first princess of the Neigal Kingdom, Iris Neigal.
