Chapter 80: First day of class
Chapter 80: First day of class
Mike looked at himself in the mirror, he wasn't looking at himself per se He was looking at or rather inspecting the new uniform he had received a few hours after he enrolled, it looked more or less like a formal suit with straight black pants, a white undershirt, a black jacket with the number '5' etched into it in a noble looking emblem and a blue tie that showed he was a first year student, the only thing that wasn't part of the uniform was the sheath he had attached to his belt where the knife was, as he looked in the mirror he muttered
"How do I look Elina?"
"You look dashing as always master"
"...Don't use stealth in my room from now on Elina"
Elina appeared behind Mike suddenly, he wasn't sure she was there when he muttered, he just had the feeling that she was, which proved to be right He had the sneaking suspicion that Elina had brought a high number of monster cores just to learn the skill [Stealth] so she could watch or rather spy on him, usually it was Rebecca that was the sneaky one, having the job of [Demon assassin], but it seemed that this [Demon Berserker] was more sneaky than Rebecca
'Nah probably not Right?'
"What do you think Rebecca?"
There was silence a few moments before Rebecca also appeared behind Mike and spoke
"You look handsome as always master"
Mike gave a sigh before he also gave Rebecca a command
"...Don't use stealth in my room Rebecca"
"Yes master"
The two of them looked like they had no remorse about spying on their master so Mike gave a sigh, if he chewed them out for it they would likely say 'it's for masters protection!' or something like that so he simply didn't, he simply gave another sigh as he shook his head feeling a headache coming on, but he quickly switched gears
'Today is the first day of class yay I am so not excited about this But I got to learn more about magic and mana in general, so it's a must'
"Enduring must be a basic instinct, a reflex"
Mike repeated the phrase that got him through higher education, well almost If not for that incident with the brick and the prick that got a skull fracture that is
'... Come on snap out of it be positive'
Mike straightened his back and tried his best to look motivated when he suddenly remembered something
"Oh right, those uniforms look nice on you two"
The two of them gave a shy 'Thank you master', they were wearing servant uniforms that were black and white Yes in other words maid uniforms! Mike zoned out slightly as he muttered
"Maid Saik..."
""What was that master?""
"...Nothing, don't worry about it that reminds me where's Snow?"
Rebecca circulated her mana briefly before she answered
"Right outside the room, leaning against the door"
Mike gave yet another sigh before he called out
"You can come in Snow"
The door opened and Snow walked in, she was also dressed in a maid outfit which she seemed a little shy about like the other two, Mike gave a gentle smile and complimented her
"You look nice Snow"
Snow's face lit up before she hid it away with her hands which caused Mike to give a chuckle before a slightly annoyed sounding Elian spoke up
"Master it's time"
Mike gave a nod before he spoke
"Okay From up on me"
Mike heightened his control over the three slightly to help them synchronizing their movements, then he put his hands in his pockets and strolled out of the room, the three servants walked behind him with their hands folded in front of their skirts, needless to say, he caught a lot of attention, not that he expected any less with three vermilion haired beauties that walked behind a laid back non-human
'...'
Mike's mind was clear as he walked out of male dormitory number 4 and into the morning crowds, there were a total of 50.000 students and staff at the academy and in the morning most, if not all of them were heading from one of the dormitories to the school buildings to either teach or study, as Mike walked into the crowd very quickly took note of him and as expected he heard voices of disgust, anger and strangely some of carnal fascination
'...Wait what?'
Mike gave a glance to the side and saw two female students that walked with a non-human each on a leach, at that moment he quickly looked away again and shook his head
'To each their own I suppose'
Mike ignored the hot gazes he received from the two female students as well as the other various gases he received and continued walking towards the school building. When he got there he stood and remembered the layout of the building for a moment before he walked towards his classroom, when he arrived there he found it to be more of a lecture hall than a classroom with rows of seats elevated by each row
'15 by 8, 12, 20 rows? So 300 seats in total?'
Mike walked in and took notice of the other servants were lined up by the wall and gestured for the three servants to line up with them before he walked in and took a random seat and leaned back in the comfy chair as he waited for the class to start, as he did anxiety started to set in as he really hated having to be in a classroom once again, fist he started tapping the table with his finger but then he drew the knife and began spinning it around which managed to calm him down somewhat so he sheathed the knife again, that's when he noticed that the other students were looking at him and whispering After a while, a non-human with big fox ears, the number '3' on his uniform jacket and a way-too-handsome-face walked over with a refreshing smile on his handsome face, for some reason this annoyed Mike to no end
'No good I should not assume the worst in people pfft'
Mike mentally laughed at his own joke but outwards he kept a poker face and asked the fox beastman
"Do you need something?"
The fox beastman gave a short laugh before he spoke
"Hello, dear new classmate I would advise you to change your seat"
Mike gave a nod and went back to ignoring the handsome fox beastman, after a while of Mike not moving the fox beastman gave a chuckle before he spoke again
"Don't say I didn't warn you"
Then he walked away, Mike gave a sigh, sure he could have followed his advice but that would show that he was easy to manipulate and depending on who saw it they would probably also think that he had no spine
'Well, being level 5 with more combat experience than these barts and having two level 5 servants capable of stealth I should be fine Worst case if a level 6 or god forbid a level 7 shows up I can always have the girls and Serina ambush and eat them'
If Mike had spoken those words out loud people would no doubt think he was a lunatic but they didn't know how strong an undying level 5 really was, besides they just had to draw a single drop of blood to claim victory so it should be simple, that said Mike knew very little about the levels above level 5 so he might just be ignorant After a little while the classroom suddenly exploded with whispers as a group of students entered the room, they were all human and carried arrogant expressions on their faces, Mike figured that they must be sons and daughters of some nobles, as he thought of nobles he was reminded of Hector and gave a frown
'I need to ask those two about Hector as they must have investigated him thoroughly over the past 3 years'
As Mike was lost in thought the group of young nobles walked over in his direction and stopped a few meters away from him before one of them spoke, or rather commanded
"Move"
Mike ignored them and kept his head facing forwards looking towards the front, as he did he unintentionally kept the number on his jacket hidden, the one that had spoken understandably didn't like being ignored and spoke again in a commanding tone of voice
"Move you dirty non-human!"
Mike gave a sigh and slowly shook his head before he made a display of smelling his own arm before he muttered
"Come on now I took a bath this morning and everything"
The young noble that had spoken, or rather commanded him so far gave a gloating expression as he spoke
"You dirty non-humans don't understand, it's your blood that's filthy, like that of a mixed cur you will never compare to the purity of us humans!"
