Chapter 2
We are here in a big field, this is where we train. It is still inside the school of course, it is not allowed to go out of the academy.
Angelique Academy trains angels to hunt but at the same time they also make us study. Students who do not have a blessing are also trained.
How can they survive, right? Of course they also have no exception in training, but the school focuses on us with a blessing.
If in case there is a hunt, we would still take students without blessing. especially when they are good.
While I was looking at the students, I saw a student with a stain on her dress. well of course I can see him since our uniform is white.
Our uniform is a dress but it's white. Ladies wear a whole white dress with black laces and a ribbon around our neck.
Of course the Lords wear a suit with the same design as us. I hate wearing uniform the most, we will also hunt in uniform.
So if we go home, there will be a lot of laundries to do. Most students just throw their uniforms and buy new ones.
"So I called the students with blessings today to announce that there will be no school for today." Our professor said.
"Teachers are busy and we will postpone the hunt for later. This is related to the unity of demons and angels." He added.
What? no hunt? Why are only those with blessings called? "Pardon me Professor, why did you only call us?"
I asked, "Yes Lady Dethyria, apparently you will be doing something tomorrow that will make you tired so the school only announces that only those who have a blessing will not enter."
"The rest without blessing will have self study." I raised an eyebrow, sometimes those with blessings have an advantage.
All the teachers are in favor of her, even if you're still stupid in class. They still prefer students with blessing, maybe there is favoritism.
Not that I don't like it but isn't it unfair? Sometimes I question if demons are fair too. Obviously angels with blessings are superior.
So yes, everyone has left. It was fun during the first years because there was no school. Nyphe and I have nothing else to do.
"Wanna go training?" I will ask. He raised an eyebrow at me as if he was making sure that we were really going to the training. "What?"
"I know you Princess, you don't like training." I rolled my eyes at what he said, because it was true.
"Oh? People change so." - Me
“People change my ass.” I just laughed. "I'll just go back to the dorm to fix it. You being my roommate is just messy.”
I was disgusted by what he said, here at the academy. There is a dorm building, mostly for us 4th year students because we are already busy hunting.
As for the 1st to 3rd, they can go home. The town is close by and they have wings to go home.
Actually I'm glad I've left my relatives' mansion. It's just that they're the ones that are literally nice to hit because they're judgmental.
Like my aunt who is the Queen now of the angels. It's just 'why aren't you like what' or 'what's better'. I have an older brother that she compared me to.
Oh right? She's my aunt yet she talks a lot for a relative. After all, she actually has more time to compare than to do her queen duties.
After all, that's just going to be swallowed up, mostly the one who does his work is their assistant.
Since I don't have anything to do, why don't we just go to the concrete between both schools, right?
I really want to observe this in case I don't have time or Nyphe will stop me. he knows how obsessed I am.
But now that I have a chance. I can finally go there and study!
So I sneakily went to the concrete wall, far away from the building so I wouldn't be seen. Mostly the only trees are there.
Because he is close to the forest. I was just studying why the wall is there or what's it made of or... just! Aren't they surprised?
Why are both academies next to each other? My hunch is that it was really united before, I mean if it wasn't there wouldn't be a wall here.
Maybe something happened so the wall was made, while I was observing further here on the wall. I heard shouting on the other side.
Demons? I would like to look because it is not allowed to fly inside the school, unless the class hours are over around 4 pm.
It's still early so I can't just spread my wings inside, we have a detector here. I'd be suspended if I fly.
What about climbing trees then? I grinned and adjusted my glasses, fortunately the tree was tall: they were just level with the concrete wall.
Not to mention this tree has many branches near the roof. Whoever planted this tree is truly a godsend.
Literally falling from the sky! Good thing I'm an active girl, I can even climb trees this high. While I was climbing, the air was still super fresh.
The last branch is bigger so when I was sitting there I could see the other side of the concrete wall. My eyes immediately widened-
Whoa! Nice! So this is the demon school? Their buildings have the same design as ours and the area is super lively.
I bit my lip, their school uniform is even more beautiful. The design is black and ladies wear tight pants?!
So they are comfortable hunting?! they hunt in tight pants?! while we're wearing dresses? Isn't this a little too unfair?
While I was busy complaining in my mind, something white caught my eye. A magnificent looking guy- huh? White wings? “The famous demon prince?”
Continuation of Chapter 3: Duel in the concrete wall
My eyes immediately flashed. I don't know why but I immediately jumped on the concrete wall. Good thing it has a gap so I can walk.
I just noticed that the concrete wall is super thick so there was a big gap. No one notices me here.
Just like what was said in the rumors, him being beautifully elegant with his white wings. I can also see the big horns on his forehead.
So he is indeed a demon, if I hadn't seen his horn I would have thought he was an angel.
He is the most beautiful person I have ever seen, with his uniform. His muscles are ripped and his broad shoulders too.
Her hair color is also beautiful, a combination of white and black? Great! He looks like he's from a fictional book I'm reading.
He's definitely the male lead if he is indeed a fictional character. But who is his female lead?
“Probably me.ah!” because of my instincts, I immediately got stuck. "What the fuck?! who threw that!?”
Suddenly something happened to me, since I'm a trained hunter. It's good that I'm ready right away. "Your words are indecent for an angel."
My eyes widened as I looked at the speaker,! Owshii her voice is also beautiful. Angel voice?
That can't be right, isn't he an angel? "Hi! You must be the famous prince that some angels were talking about."
I congratulate him, of course first impression matters what? But suddenly his expression changed like he's annoyed or something.
I saw that he was carrying a weapon, is he gonna stab me? He is also in a position ready to kill me anytime I move.
"You must have heard about me." I said again, it's quiet. I was surprised when he positioned his sword Fuck”Wait are you going to kill me?!”
He suddenly moved and almost stabbed me.
"You broke the rules and you are also a trespasser. Therefore execution is a suitable punishment for you.” he answered modestly.
"Huh?! Isn't that a crime?! Wait, that's all I did, why is the punishment so brutal?!" when I asked again, he started moving again.
"You're good at hunting, are you perhaps a top hunter?" he asked modestly again but he continued to move his weapon.
So I have to keep moving so I don't die, right? This guy probably hasn't heard of me. Am I famous too? Why does it seem like I'm the only one who knows about him when he's not there?
It's unfair - my eyes widen and I sense a killing intent from Afar. So I immediately released my blessing.
I immediately stopped a weapon that was coming at me, an arrow? "Your blessing is to summon weapons...?" a girl's voice?
I saw a woman, she looks calm and her hair is braided. Also a demon of course, wait do they have a plan to kill me?!
If I calculated correctly, it was not the woman who shot the arrow. This means three are waiting for me- “Interesting-”
I don't know but my hand moved on its own and used my blessing to summon a bow and arrow and immediately shot the person who shot me earlier.
My movements were fast so I immediately hit the person whoever it was, then I switched my bow and arrow to a whip and hit the girl with braids.
She fell down the concrete wall but I'm sure she's fine. Maybe he won't die because of that, right? Well I hope not, I don't want to be a criminal yet.
"Too feisty for an angel." I changed my whip to a sword to make the fight fair, because they were first! I wouldn't have moved like this if I hadn't been preceded.
"That doesn't match your personality." he added, I don't know but I just grinned. He figured me out...
"I get that a lot." I replied with a smile, we were both engaged at the same time. But who would have thought that our strength is balanced.
"Am I really not famous? Why don't you know me? ” I asked while we were fighting. "You seriously don't know me?"
"No." I scoffed and changed my weapon to a spear, I was about to throw my weapon at him when suddenly something sounded...
We stopped together, shit! it was the school alar Nyphe would really kill me if she found out what I was doing.
"Ah- eh- I'm leaving ah? Next time, nice meeting you by the way. Even if you don't know me."
I was about to jump but... "I also apologize for trespassing, I hope you don't open me up. I'm also sorry for what I did to you, bye!"
"wait." I stopped but I didn't turn around. "What's... your name?"
I turned and answered. “You should guess my name, so the next time we meet- call me by my name. I'm famous so you can easily know that. Ciao”
I jumped off and ran as fast as I could to hide. Sh*t I stayed on the wall for a long time. Maybe it detected someone there so the alarm went off.
Well at least I met that demon prince. He doesn't seem friendly but he's an interesting one indeed.
"Brother are you ok? Sorry we acted hastily." asked the girl with braided hair. "We sense something strong where you are and we acted immediately."
The young man with white wings did not answer. He just stared at where the female angel with pink hair jumped.
'She can jump that high?' the man asked in his mind.
"Dang that person was awesome, who is that? He's good at shooting." The female demon turned to the newcomer.
"Wait she does seem familiar..." the woman thought, the guy with white wings stole a glance at his sibling. "Oh! I remembered."
"She's that famous angel called the fallen royalty! That's why he's so good." The man didn't move.
'So, she's really famous.' he said again in his mind. "You know her?" he asked modestly while adjusting his weapon.
"Huh? You don't know him?" asked a man. "Seriously? She's Lady Dethyria Javier, a talented, beautiful, good angel. One of the top hunters.”
The white winged guy frowned. 'That's why she dodged so fast, if she was indeed a normal hunter. She wouldn't have dodged the attacks easily and she'd die right on the spot.'
"She's called the fallen royalty because she used to be a princess. You didn't get to meet her or see her because you don't attend parties." said the woman.
"The rumors are true, she's really beautiful like they said." a man commented. "By the way prince Lyford, why are you making a face like that?"
"Like what?" he asked sternly while glaring at the questioner.
"U-uhm never mind.
Death's POV
"You know, it made me think that I have more brains than you." I frowned at what Nyphe said.
She's sitting in her study space while fixing a dress with her pet cat. I heard his cat meow. Hmp-
There's really no news about this girl? She already guessed that I was the person who triggered the alarm.
Even though no one else saw me, she guessed it was me. "They didn't catch me! Why are you mad? Just a moment-"
"Wait?! the alarm won't go off if you don't stay for a while." I rolled my eyes and lay down on my bed, luckily the holy guards didn't catch me.
But I'm glad I took the risk that time, I saw the prince so it was worth it for me to go up there. The duel between the two of us was also beautiful.
There are apples but that's ok and at least I manage to have a not so friendly relationship with him. It is obvious that that man is not friendly.
The fight was intense, it seemed like he really had a plan to kill me because he said I trespassed. Is that the punishment for her? It's brutal.
That was also the first time I acted out of character to other people. I mean I'm always calm and elegant around other people.
But I manage to act like myself... in front of that prince? Nyphe is the only one who knows about my personality.
Showing my true colors to other people... kind of makes me happy. I suddenly felt excitement.
I want him to duel like that again. He's super strong and he doesn't hold back, he's good to be with every practice time.
Besides Nyphe, no other student wants to duel with me. If there is... they always lose.
I didn't mean to say that they are weak but... maybe that's just the case or they just really don't want to fight me?
Tomorrow
"What's up? Why the noise?” I asked in surprise, today is the day we have a blessing student to do something.
I hope we're going hunting. Because fourth year class is boring, I did advance readings so I already know all the lessons.
I read them in advance because I'm bored and have nothing else to do. Besides, Nyphe also forced me. "The queen is here."
I stopped and raised my eyebrows, what? My great aunt is here? "Is the king here too?" Nyphe shook her head.
Well f*ck. "Do I still need to congratulate him? Maybe I won't be able to control myself and I'll hit him."
She also doesn't have a blessing but she's a Queen. "Keep it together, even though I'm under him, I don't want him either, ok?" Nyohe answered.
There were a lot of people around, when we got closer... I saw my aunt with some ornaments on her body.
I'm sure he's here for his son who has a complaint again. The students started to scatter when they heard the bell. But I still went to greet this clown queen.
"Greetings, Queen." Everyone was quiet when I said hello. Because even if you don't want to, since she's related to you, you have to be respectful.
"Oh, you're here. Greetings…” and that's when he started being judgmental again. "Disgrace."
I smiled when I heard her last whisper to me, she didn't force it because she has an image to keep.
"Your highness, let's go." the butler with him was enough. "Princess Lux is waiting-
“How about Lord Dasher? where is he Why didn't he greet me?” I bit my lip a lot. This piece of-
"I'm sorry dear queen but the Lord is busy." the butler held out his hand and the queen took his hand to help him go inside “Hmp… I wish Lord Dasher was here to greet me. But instead it's his bratty sister, come on. I'm in a bad mood.”
I just continued smiling, Nyphe and I bowled together when he left. Even though I don't like my relatives.
I still have to respect them even against my will, apart from their high status with us. They're also our only family left.
I still cling to the saying that 'Blood is thicker than water.' But I'm already on the edge actually, I'm almost letting go.
