BXBX NOVEL Chapter 56.2
Thursday, 4 pm, after the Tea Time Lecture.
I went to the Science Department building to attend the ‘Exploring Fairies’ class.
This was my first lecture on the subject, but I didn’t mind it. Rather, my head was filled with Mirna Draco’s offer.
Come to think of it, had I not just been invited to the Draco Family villa?
Perhaps, I might be able to learn and acquire necessary items for the revival of the Angmar Family there.
In the first place, my plan was to befriend and tame Mirna Draco so that I could control her.
That was why I’d been baring my fangs at her sister, Narmi Draco, who was much less of a pain to deal with.
I was confused in many ways earlier, but after a calm recollection, this stunt was not a bad thing for me.
Of course, this was assuming that it worked well.
… But where the heII was the classroom?
I ordered a pigeon flying nearby to find it with a spell.
“Find the Science Department building.”
━Kukukuku.
“Good boy.”
The pigeon then flew out to fulfill its mission.
As expected, magic was awesome! I should practice this whenever I have the time.
Thanks to the pigeon’s guidance, the damned building was eventually found.
━Kuku.
“You did well. Now go to the Platinum Dorm, then monitor Elga’s and Aira’s room.”
━Ku.
“… You don’t understand what I just said, do you?”
Complicated orders seemed too difficult to give. This pigeon was just a bird, so it probably wasn’t smart enough to understand me.
Were there any crows nearby? I heard that crows and parrots could be quite smart.
With that thought in mind, I entered the brick building and felt a cool breeze. Upon climbing the old stairs, I saw the classroom I was looking for.
Sch.
I entered the spacious classroom and sat down.
Looking around, the classroom was like a laboratory. There were beakers and flasks as well as a human body anatomical model. The monster frog specimen stuffed in the closet over there was also probably the real thing…
Taking all these in, my interest and curiosity about this lecture rose.
It was ‘Exploring Fairies’, right?
This should be a Class C Lecture.
The professor handling the subject was still undecided though, so it was unknown who would be in charge.
Duruk, duruk. Kiiik.
As the lecture finally started at around 4:30, the door opened and a lot of people began to come in. Fortunately, someone sat next to me this time.
“Hello.”
“Yes. Hello to you too.”
My seatmate was a fluffy dwarf instead of someone familiar like Mirna or a big shot. Regardless, I was glad that I didn’t get subtly bullied like during the first lecture.
“I saw your fight. You really beat Efside, huh?”
However, it was a little weird and annoying to have someone talk to you.
“That happened to be the case.”
“When you brought up the word chain game, I thought you were crazy, man. I must say, that taunt which led to the duel was amazing!”
“……..”
Stop talking about the word chain game already!
“Oh, I am Asphalt Stonescream. Silver Class Rank 487. You can call me Stone.”
“I am Theo Gospel. You can call me Gospel or Theo, or however you feel comfortable with.”
As I properly introduced myself, the brown-haired dwarf chuckled.
“I know you. There is no one in Ark who doesn’t know your name. In a sense, you’re as famous as the Spider Queen, who also entered the Academy this year.”
“The ‘Spider Queen’?”
“Aira Tarantera. Besides that, the Lion King’s daughter also entered. What was her name again, that daughter of Lord Reinhardt?”
“You mean Lady Elga Lioness?”
“Yes! You are as famous as them. So anyways, are you interested in gemstones and stones? I run a club, you know.”
Ah, a club invitation.
There was indeed such a thing in schools.
Come to think of it, there were a lot of people recruiting for clubs on the school grounds.
The bulletin board was also full of recruitment ads.
“If you are interested, please come by! Our club is in the Stone Room on the 3rd floor of the Central Hall. Here’s our flier.”
I got the scroll from the fella and put it in my bag. As I was wishing the lecture would start sooner, someone came in….
“Alright everyone, sit down. We’re going to start.”
It was a woman wearing a leopard print jacket, with pointed ears and a mysterious-looking purple short hair fluttering from her shoulder.
She wore a choker with a bell around her neck and looked just like Matilda, the young heroine from the classic killer movie.
“I am Professor Stella. Professor Migolas, who’s originally in charge of this lecture, took a child care leave. Therefore, for this semester, I have been assigned to the Exploring Fairies class.”
Stella Belhawk was the one in charge of my lecture.
“This is not even my lecture. It’s annoying that I have to suddenly take over. Anyway, let’s all do well together.”
… She simply said those lines without care.
The Belhawks were famous for being as unpredictable as a feather amidst the wind. Seeing one member of that family in person, the rumors seemed to be true.
“Then Slave… Wait, no… Assistant! Come in and hand out the syllabus!”
After Stella finished shouting to whoever standing outside of the door, someone in a black nun robe came in and started handing out thin papers to the students.
The heart-shaped tail swaying behind her buttocks was quite eye-catching.
“An Imp!?”
“Isn’t that an Imp?”
Like the others, I, too, was shocked.
… Wasn’t that Marmar? What was she doing here?
