Report 13 – New friends – part 1
2579 Words
As soon as he could, Seya tried to disappear amongst the students, and he went inside the School. He had almost reached his room to hide when he heard a scream from behind him. “Wait, big brother, wait!”
“Ah, I almost lost you.”
“You meanie, you were really trying to escape me? You said we could talk after the Magical test!”
“Alright, sorry, I was just joking with you. I see that you also had someone running after you.”
When the Princess looked behind her, she saw a girl with green hair floating while running. “I am sorry, but I was not running after the Princess. I was running after you! Since yesterday, we have been bumping into each other, and we never introduced ourselves!”
“That’s right. But there’s another one hiding there. Come here, you!”
From behind the corner nearby, a young blonde boy appeared. “I am sorry for disturbing you...”
“Yeah right, one saw my Magic and suddenly doesn’t want to run away to meet her friends, and the other one just wants to be near the Princess to gain some sort of advantage. See Princess, why I wanted to lay low?”
With that sudden outburst, Seya had hit a nail. The blonde Noble was speechless, and he looked ashamed, but the green-haired girl was looking at Seya, defying him! “Well, yeah! Of course! What other reason would I have to come to see you? I came here to study and learn how to be a better Mage!”
Seya smiled at the straight and quick answer of that strange girl. Strange and amazingly beautiful. “Ahahahah! A very honest answer! And you? Want to say anything, or are you going to just stay there ashamed of yourself?”
“I want to apologize for my behaviour. I think my parents and servants spoiled me. They always said that because I used two Attributes, I was going to be great. But after seeing the Magic power of everyone, I can’t stop being ashamed of myself. I want to learn more and make my parents proud! And also, meeting the Princess would also please my parents…”
“I think he means well, big brother.”
Seya was still thinking about what the best course of action would be. He didn’t want to attract too much attention to himself, but it looked like it would not happen.
“Come on, big brother, two new friends, two new Disciples, two new Slaves to obey your every command! Ahahahah!”
“You really need to think about that behavior of yours. It’s not fit for a cute Princess like you.”
“Hurray! Big brother called me cute! Finally!”
“Come on, you are making a fuss around here. Let’s all go to my room then. And you, you still need to explain to me what you did for the King to allow his sweet little Princess to attend this School.”
“Now he called me sweet little Princess! You all heard him, right? Oh, calm down my heart! Ahahahah!”
“Really, this girl…”
When they entered Seya’s room, the Princess seated on one of the beds, grabbing Seya’s arm. The other two sat on the chairs. Seya tried to get free from the Princess’s clutches, but that only made her squeeze him harder. He gave up; it was no use. He could never go against her.
Seya looked at the beautiful new girl. “Let’s start with the introductions, shall we? That boy already introduced himself, and what about you?”
“I am Ryn Mycym, the daughter of the Representative of the Mycym Merchants Association. Pleased to meet you.”
The Princess smiled. She knew that family’s name. “I know that Association, it’s the biggest in the entire Kingdom. Your father is frequently at the Palace, meeting the Minister of Internal Affairs and Agriculture.”
“Yes, he was there recently about some breakthroughs in better fields and crops. He didn’t stop talking about that over the past few days!”
“That was because of this guy. He was the one that came to the Palace and almost gave a heart attack to the Minister of Agriculture when he showed the equipment that he created. And the Minister of the Magical Division was speechless for a week, after seeing big brother’s Magic! Ahahahah!”
“What? You created the equipment my father talked about?”
“Yes, and also some changes in the crops and fields. Because of that, I got a few Ownership Laws, and I started receiving money every time one of those equipments is sold.”
“What? You are going to be so rich! I want to marry you!”
The blonde boy was looking at Seya, wondering who that boy was. “Really, who are you? We saw your amazing fight with the Knight Teacher and your Magic. And you seem to be a good friend of the Princess.”
“I guess it’s no use hiding it now! I am Seya 'Taly' Denar’an Hinamoto. I can use all the Attributes of Magic and I am the son of Anna Hinamoto, the Great Healer, and Rolland Hinamoto, the famous Adventurer. I was also raised and trained by a RabbitKind Denar’an family. Five years ago, I discovered that I am the nephew of the RabbitKind King. And I’ve known the Princess since she was six years old.”
“Yes, big brother saved my life! And we often met and became great friends. He is my amazing big brother, and I am his amazing Little Sister!”
All that information about Seya was too much for them. For a moment, they were speechless and with their mouths wide open. After some time, they screamed, “... What?”
Ryn was the first to recover. “I thought you were just an airhead, always being late and lost!”
“He is not an airhead. I bet that since he came here, he has been working on some crazy project that will surely make one of my father’s Ministers want to kill himself! Ahahahah!”
“Yeah, I am testing some new ideas.”
The Princess looked excited. “Tell me, it’s another game?”
“It’s a secret. But you still didn’t tell me how the King let you come to this School considering that you had personal tutoring since you were very young.”
“Well, I kind of forced him to let me come here.”
Upon hearing that and seeing the awkward look on the Princess, Seya guessed that she had done something stupid. Again! “I knew it! What did you do?”
“It’s your fault! These past few months, you were going to the Palace, and as soon as I was told that you were there, and I went to see you, you had already left!”
“Sorry, I had many things to take care of. But what did you do?”
The Princess looked awkward as she explained. “When Father told me you were going to come to this School, I asked if I could also come because, with you here, this School was going to be fun! It seems that I had a tantrum when Father said no. And I kind of lost my mind and melted the Palace Tower where my room was...”
“You did what?”
“It gets worse... My Father told the Royal Guards to stop me, I knocked them all out... Then the Royal Mages were sent, and I knocked out half of them until they grabbed me... I was under house arrest in another room for two weeks, but my Father agreed after the Royal Mages begged him because I was just sleeping, eating, and fighting them, trying to run away... They were exhausted...”
“Ahahahah!... And next, you are going to say that I am a bad influence on your behaviour! Ahahahah!”
“But you are! Father always says that I used to be a very quiet Princess before I met you!”
“Or that fall from the stairs that almost killed you did something to your brain, and I didn’t realize that at the time!”
“You meanie!”
Hearing those two arguing back and forth like real siblings was strange to the two outsiders also in the room, but Ryn was smiling. “Princess, if you forgive me, hearing you both talk like that, one can tell that you have a wonderful relationship. I would never guess the Princess had such a side.”
And Zak agreed. “Yes, it’s like, even being Royalty, she is just a normal girl? Or something like that. Ah, forgive me, Princess!”
“I knew that coming after big brother was a good idea! Because I am Royalty it’s very difficult for me to make friends. I mean, real friends like Seya here, not some kids that are ordered by their parents to approach me to gain some advantage. Seya never worried that I was a Princess. He treated me like his very own Little Sister, always coming to see me or sending messages, asking what I was up to, or telling me what he did. And because of those simple things, I stopped being lonely.”
Ryn made a big smile as she said, “Princess if you don’t mind, I could be your friend. And, rest assured, I don’t want to gain any advantage from you. I want to gain advantages from Seya!”
“Ahahahah! Such an honest girl! I want to be your friend as well! And this boy here, you can also tell your parents that the great me is your friend! They are going to be so proud!”
“Thank you, my Princess. I don’t deserve all that care from the Princess. I am just a second son of…”
“Of course, you don’t deserve it! That’s why you must become an amazing person so that I can tell people that you are my friend! Ahahahah!”
Zak raised his head proudly. “I will do everything in my power to achieve that!”
“You really need to learn how to lose yourself a little and understand when I am joking or else I will treat you like a horse!”
Ryn Mycym burst into laughter after that remark. “Ahahahah!”
Seya was shaking his head in disagreement. “Princess, you really need to think about your behaviour.”
“My friends are going to be so jealous! They saw me running after you two. When they realize that I befriended the Princess, they will want to kill me! Ahahahah!”
And Seya continued to shake his head. “Another one with a dark side...”
“If they are your friends, Ryn, I don’t mind meeting them. What do you say, Seya?”
“Well, my quiet school life is already ruined, so I guess there’s no harm there.”
While all this was happening, there was a meeting at the Principal’s Office concerning the evaluations of the new students.
There was the Principal, the Teacher who did the written tests, and the three Teachers of the practical tests.
The Principal asked, with a serious look on his face. “Well, what are your opinions about this year’s students?”
The RabbitKind Teacher was the first to answer. “They are all average except for one outstanding student, Seya Hinamoto.”
And the Knight Teacher was still mad about what happened to him. “If you are talking about that one, we should just expel him!”
“My colleague here was disrespectful to that student and was punished for that. You should thank me for still being alive. If it was me, I would have killed you on the spot.”
That quick remark shut the mouth of the Knight, and the Elfian Teacher continued, “I never saw a student with such power, not even the Elders of my Race can use all Attributes and with so much Magic. And he doesn’t do any chanting when he uses Magic!”
The Principal almost fell from his chair. “What? That’s not possible!”
“And yet, he does just that. The Royal Princess uses powerful Fire Magic with an extremely short chant! And there was a girl with green hair that had an outstanding amount of Magic for a Human so young!”
The Homeroom Teacher agreed, and he reported, excited. “On the written tests they were average, but Seya Hinamoto got every answer right. I never saw anything like that!”
The RabbitKind Teacher crossed his arms, thinking. “He is an amazing fighter, uses all Attributes, and is very knowledgeable. I don’t know if we can teach him anything! I rather have him teach me!”
“I received a letter of recommendation from King Rohan about that student, along with some explanations about him.”
That announcement from the Principal surprised the Homeroom Teacher. “The King himself wrote a recommendation letter?”
“Yes. It seems like his family is very famous. He is the son of the Great Healer Anna Hinamoto and that famous Adventurer of some years ago, Rolland Hinamoto. He is also the nephew of the RabbitKind King and his father is also a Duke. And he is even paying for his education here! Apparently, he just wants to be around kids of his own age and learn new Magic. From what I was told, we can count on him to help with fighting practice and Magic. It seems the King asked him to do that. The King only allowed the Princess to come here because that boy is here.”
The Homeroom Teacher was looking at his notes about the new students for that year. “So, we have got ourselves an outstanding student that even the King acknowledges. What are we going to do about it?”
The Principal folded his arms on top of his desk, relaxing. “We don’t need to do anything, actually. The King expects that by being here, he will influence the students.”
The Homeroom Teacher was checking the class list. “Seems like things are going to be interesting. And in which class do we put him? Does he want to be a Knight? Or a Mage?”
“With his skills, he can easily achieve the command of his own platoon when he grows up. As a former RabbitKind soldier, it would honor me to be under his orders!”
The Elfian Teacher spoke with a big smile. “But, with his Magical abilities, he can easily become a Royal Mage! I know some Elfians that are way under him!”
The Principal looked at every Teacher, very seriously. “We must assure that no other country tries to get him. We should increase the security around the School. If words get out, someone might try to kidnap him.”
The RabbitKind Teacher waved his hand. He was not worried about that. “I really don’t believe that there’s even the slightest possibility. Denar’ans are known for being able to single-handedly defeat an entire squadron.”
The Principal nodded. “Even so, we need to stay vigilant.”
