Chapter 794: New Mentors
[Eon's POV: ]
Another fine morning, another fine cup of coffee.
Peaceful life…
"Lucifer!!! Where the hell did you put my Spirit class books?!"
"On the left side of your desk~."
It was peaceful today as well.
No big trouble, a nice new day of school, a fine morning that was followed by a fine night, and nothing much to worry about.
"Haaa… how nice."
"What nice, bastard?!! Where is my lecture book?!"
"In the bathroom, dummy."
"Why would it be in the bathroom?!"
"I wanted to take a nice warm bath?"
She was looking at me with that same annoyed angry look she always looks at me with on every peaceful morning like this one. And I was smiling back at her like every other peaceful morning of ours.
"Do you always have this kind of mess around here so early in the morning?"
"Not always, but it's not that rare."
Apparently, our two presidents were in our dorm room today on this fine morning, sharing a morning coffee with me while Rein was getting ready for her the classes,
"This is nice… what is this?"
"Just the old coffee brewed with some new techniques. Nothing special."
The two of them were enjoying their coffee together with me while their familiars were helping Rein around.
'She sometimes finds all her stuff scattered around the house after some certain late night exercises, and by exercise, I certainly do not mean any indecent stuff.'
She has Clover and recently, she had learned how to 'integrate' with her spirit so she had been practising that since a while back.
And though she had made significant progress, at the end of her training sessions, she finds all her stuff scattered all around the place, sometimes in a kind of place that doesn't even make any sense.
Just like that notebook that was sitting in one corner of the bathroom.
"Shouldn't you help her if you know where everything is?"
"Nope. That's now how these things work."
"What things?"
"Cradle, leave it. You don't have to know everything about their personal affairs."
"Ptssssss! Ptssssss~."
"See, even SanSan agrees."
A month has passed since we came back to the academy but not much has happened since then.
'There were no big incidents, the headmaster was mostly away so his work was divided between the four of us, and since vice headmaster was covering for most of headmaster's classes, we were getting an extra Superior Magic and Weapon practice class with her.'
The students were setting down and going back to their old ways and even the outside of the academy, the island area, was almost stabilised.
'Cleaning up took a whole from our side, but since we knew there was not much to the commotion, with the help of Flamingos, and a little help from here and there, we had managed to clear every trace of the darkness on this sky island for now.
And lately, it has been pretty quiet around her.
The air was now saturated with serenity, students weren't hindering us anymore, House workings were going well, the students were finding the extracurricular activities that suited them, and even teachers were having a relatively peaceful time.
'No big event was happening anytime soon, and the midterms were also a few months away so there was no big headache around for them.'
It was free, everything was good, the warmth of the sun was great on our skins… and I know for a fact shit was going to go down soon, that's why I wanted to enjoy this peace while it still lasted.
"Haaa. Damn… what the hell do I even do after I integrate with Clover?"
"You wanna know? Really?"
(Spirit possession) was a technique only those who had a very deep bond with their spirits could perform.
It was a difficult practice even for the high level spirit masters that possessed multiple Advanced spirits.
However, apparently, since clover and she had an absurdly good synergy, the two of them could already perform the technique that even the best masters take months, perhaps years to complete.
"Is it something I would wanna know?"
"Oh of course it is something you'd wanna know."
I was smiling so she looked at me straight in the eyes with narrow eyes and scanned me up and down, and she had her answer sooner than the two of them thought it would take her.
"Then keep it to yourself."
I knew that answer alredy, and as all of us present here could tell already, she knew that I knew that answer was going to come up as well.
"And, by yourself, I certainly mean to only Your self, understand?"
"Of course."
She was threatening me with those eyes of hers… and it certainly surprised the two of them how she was showing genuine bloodthirst over something so small, but the two did not question us for anything.
"So, moving on…"
She wasn't angry right now so after I agreed to not tell the others about her cat transformation, her smile returned to her pretty face and she sat down in her place where her warm coffee cup was already waiting for her.
"Why were you two here again?"
"To get you two? Didn't we say that already?"
"No you didn't."
It was early morning and it wasn't time for classes just yet so they weren't here to walk up to the school with us.
If they were here or something, then it only meant we would have to go with them… however, they did not say anything after coming here.
"You just came, saw her all messed up, and then joined me for coffee. You didn't say anything about going anywhere. Ask SanSan or Mirror if you forgot already."
It wasn't new for them to come here early in the morning and join us for coffee but it certainly was their first time coming here when she had all this mess around.
They must have been surprised by it, so it wasn't impossible to think they had forgotten about it.
They weren't going to suspect me for having done anything to them anyway, so, this was a completely normal scenario.
"You…"
President Zod suspected something but he had no clue what was wrong here and why, so he had no choice but to let it go and skip over this little gap in their memory.
"Anyway, we are here to get you. Headmaster's order."
"He's back?"
"For a few hours from what we know, yes."
Cradle was looking at the rare messy hair of my Rein. Thinking things that she should not. But that was alright.
We were used to that kind of look from her already.
"It has been long enough so I think you are getting your new mentors."
"What?!"
Now this… was unexpected.
"New mentors?! Really~?!"
Every student council mentor was assigned a special mentor that refined the talents that they were appointed in the student council for.
And, these instructors changed depending on the growth and current levels of the students.
'The first instructors the two of us had were two of our school teachers of archery, weapons, and magic that were in charge of teaching and refining the basics needed for our techniques.'
It was the initial stage for the council members that was pretty much the same for all the council members.
'However, since both of us had more than perfect basics, we finished learning everything there was to learn from the school instructors in a week.'
And that was when we first started the academy nearly three months ago.
There was not much to learn from them, and we weren't going to get the next instructors that would teach us actual new things until some certain time had passed.
"Haha, yes. From the good look we saw on the headmaster earlier, that seems to be the case."
Rein was excited after what Cradle had said but as soon as Zod brought up the 'good look' on the headmaster, the happiness on her turned into bitterness.
"If that bastard is happy, it might also mean he has something he wants us to do."
She shook her head with the same bitter expression and finished her cup of coffee in one complete breath.
"It's weekend from tomorrow and I've heard there are no classes on Monday because of some speech, so he might just have some kind of new shitty errands for us."
"Or… the mentor part might actually be the case."
I patted her back and took the cup she had just finished.
Everyone else was almost finished with their cups as well, so after a slight nod at them, they finished them as well, and I took all the cups.
-Ooooooooooong.
After cleaning the cup with a spell and putting them back in my storage space, I stood up from my chair.
"How about we go there and ask him ourselves?"
"That's a good idea."
"Even I agree with Lucifer this time."
She looked sad, so the three of us had to give her the light that she needed to get past this little moment.
"Right? Let's go."
The entire hall room was a mess, and they couldn't see the bedroom behind the door on the right side, but they knew it would be messier than it was right now.
'Thankfully, this was one of the best dorm rooms of the best dorms.'
They were good with cleaning up everything and putting everything exactly where it belonged to.
Especially after the many detailed instructions from Rein and me and after her countless complaints, even the ones working here know what belonged to where… not that they came here often.
But still, routine maintenance was necessary.
"Alright…"
We moved out together after taking the sad old witch with us, and moved directly to the academy gates with my shadow travel skill.
'It's one of the most useful skills we have with us that makes life many times easier.'
We thanked her for her help this time as well, and, with an excited heart… moved towards headmaster's office.
