Once we had lunch, we decided to go to our rooms for a while now. Everyone wanted to rest.
"I'm going to go take a nap."
"Ugh… I feel like throwing up…"
"Wait, Blake. Where's your room?"
Erika began tailing me around, as if she wanted to stay in my room.
"Ah, it is this one-"
As I was about to enter my room with her, two hands wearing white gloves reached both of our shoulders.
"What did I said before…?"
Evelyn's eyes turned sharp red, blazing with flames.
Her aura became incredibly intimidating…
Erika looked back in horror at our instructor, as I sighed internally.
"You're not allowed to enter another's students room! They're the rules!" Evelyn angrily said.
"Eeh?! But Blake is my…!" Erika was interrupted.
"Even if he's your boyfriend or something!" Evelyn angrily said. "In fact, even less I will let you in if you're in that KIND of relationship! Now scram, young lady. You will thank me later when you realize I've saved your virginity."
"What are you even talking about?" Erika sighed, slowly walking back to her room. "See you for dinner then!"
"Yeah, make sure to rest for now."
As Erika went back to her room, I quickly entered mine, however, Evelyn once more stopped me.
"Do you need something?" I sighed.
"I've never meet someone immune to my Intimidation Ability before…" She said, raising an eyebrow. "You're an odd kid, just how strong are you? No matter how much I try to analyze your Spiritual Aura… it just keeps flowing."
"Are you interested in young kids, Lady Evelyn?" I asked while raising an eyebrow.
"I-I…! T-That's not what I meant!" Evelyn, the lioness, as I will call her now, suddenly grew all red and frustrated. She was probably at most in her mid-twenties. She still had a long way to go to gain enough experience handling youngsters.
"Huhhh… Okay, but please keep your distance from me if possible, I feel like you were trying to take advantage of me… I could report you to the director." I threatened her.
"GAH…!" Evelyn, as I expected, believed it all and suddenly fell to her knees. "No please forgive me! I-I only had good intentions! I just want… to be a good instructor."
"Okay then, why don't you start by standing up?" I sighed.
The silly woman quickly stood back up again, straightening her resolve, and going back to her strict character.
"You will learn what I am capable of once we get to the Stronghold city. There's an entrance exam first, right?" I asked.
"Yeah… Well, alright. I'll trust you. I am just slightly worried. I had never felt someone with such a strange aura of spiritual essence before. I thought you had some sort of disease or something…" She sighed.
"Maybe I am just too strong?" I sighed, walking inside my room, and closing the door.
"Too strong?! There's no way someone at your age…!"
And the door closed in her face.
"Ugh… this kid really likes to mess around with me…" Evelyn walked away, as I heard the sound of her black boots walking over the wooden floor.
Eleanora quickly emerged at my side, alongside Blood on his small form, which made him look like a little red dog. And of course, a small, red-scaled wyvern, with a pointy red crystal horn a top his tiny head. The creature was no bigger than a house cat.
This was my second Familiar Monster aside from Blood, the old Wolf Eleanora turned into a Vampire, this was the wyvern that hatched from the wyvern egg we found long ago, which I had imbued with Blood Ki and other things.
It actually took a while and only hatched a year and a half ago and has barely grown a few centimeters. Wyvern's growth is either slow like humans, or it must level up more to evolve and grow bigger.
Whatever the case, making a contract with a Lesser Dragon such as Ruby will be beneficial for the future. Dragons are amongst the strongest races of beings; this is a fact even in this world. If I make a contract with one at such a young age, I might be able to share a bit of part of his power and even attain Draconic Arts and Dragon Magic, if he evolves enough.
For that, I need higher quality materials to make him eat, and also good enough EXP for him to level up. But I haven't had the time to level him much, aside from leveling up to level ten, his level cap is apparently 50, so there's a long way before he can evolve.
"That woman's rather stupid, isn't she?" Sighed Eleanora while crossing her arms and sitting over my lap in her smaller form. In such a form she was now smaller than me as well, like a doll.
"Yeah, she is." I said. "Nonetheless, she doesn't have bad intentions, she seems to be pushy but she has a good heart, I can tell. She's probably nervous and wants to grow closer ton us, but she's also forcing herself to be strict for some reason, maybe to give us a good impression of herself. Maybe she's trying to make us respect her."
"Huh…" Eleanora wondered. "You're so good at analyzing people as always! Anyways, I am a bit hungry, I wasn't even able to eat at lunch! What with that stupid rule of not letting spirits out in meal times?!"
"No idea, probably something made up so the academy is not filled with creatures wandering around everywhere… Nonetheless, this is a world of spirits, I doubt many obey it or perhaps… it is just something of this airship alone." I sighed. "Anyways, let's prepare some food for you and the Familiars while we are at it. Afterwards, we'll summon two more Spirits."
"Ah, old companions at long last!" Eleanora seemed excited, as she looked at my eyes with her enchanting gaze.
