“Tomorrow is our first day of school. You excited?”
I shrugged my shoulders,” Yeah, I am. The entrance exam is going to be difficult, Isabella.”
“I’ll believe that you will pass it.”
“You think?”
“I know you will pass.”
“Thanks Isabella. And you will pass too.”
She blushed. “Aww thank you.”
Yeah, I can see it. She totally likes me.
“Want to walk to school together tomorrow?”
“Uhhh sure? I guess but won’t your sister get mad?”
“Probably, but oh well!”
“This isn’t going to end well.”
“What’s not going to end well?”
“Oh, speaking about your sister, here she is.”
“You two were talking about me?”
“Yeah, we were sis.”
“About what?”
“About Hunter and I walking together to school tomorrow.”
“Ahh I was going to ask him that!”
“Girls, girls, it might get me killed but I can walk both of you girls to school tomorrow.”
“Yes, I like that idea.”
“Me too, sis.”
I’m definitely going to die before my first week is up. When they find out that I’m a commoner then I’m definitely getting killed.
***
” Are you guys ready?”
“I’m ready.”
“I’m ready also.”
“Then let’s get going:”
We were halfway there, and we were getting looks. Everyone knows that the queen had two girls. So, every kid wanted to know who this boy that’s sandwiched between the two princesses. Interlocked with arms. Everyone must be thinking he’s got to be Royal. Well, everyone is wrong. I’m just a commoner living in the castle. I truly hate this. But I can’t turn back now. Hearing the whispers. It’s not making me uncomfortable but it’s definitely making the sisters uncomfortable.
“I’m used to people staring at us, but this is on a different level.”
“Yeah, I know sis. This is on a different level.”
“We don’t have to walk together.”
“No!”
“No! We will definitely walk to school together.”
“Then you two better get used to all of the attention then.”
“Hey you!”
“Me?” It was a random boy that I had never seen before.
“Yeah, what are you doing with the two princesses!”
“Oh, walking them to school.”
“How do you know them!”
“That’s none of your business.”
“It is my business!”
“Ugh I don’t think so. If it was your business the king would have brought you to the meeting or at least mentioned, you before today. So, yes, I don’t think it’s your business.”
“You will hear from my father! You don’t know who you’re messing with!”
“I really don’t care.”
“Are you even royalty!”
“Nope, I’m not.”
“Hahahah, you can’t take the Royal exam test.”
“Damien, he- “
“See you on the test exam!”
“Sorry. That’s Damien. He has a crush on Isabella.”
“Yeah, he totally creeps me out.”
Ten minutes later, on the training ground there was around hundreds of young kids. Only thirty kids will pass. Even money can’t buy you a way into the class. Many has tried too but none has been successful. Then that kid Damien found me. And he was mad.
“Hey! How come you’re here taking the Royal exam! You shouldn’t be here! You're just a commoner!”
People were gossiping about it. But I didn’t care.
“King gave me the opportunity to take the Royal exam. So now I’m here.”
“You won’t pass the exam!”
I shrugged:” Yeah, that’s a possibility but I don’t think I will fail.”
“Oh? You already know that you will pass?”
“Yes, with flying colors.”
“We will see!”
“What’s wrong with him?”
“You’re a commoner taking the test.”
“Yeah, what sis said.”
One by one everyone showed their stuff. Some had couple of diverse types of elements. Plenty of people had one element. Some people could summon demons and beasts. Some even made contracts with the animals that they summoned. Of course, the two sisters had pass. And so did Damien. He cracked an evil grin at me. But honestly, I didn’t care. Then it was my turn.
“Good luck!”
“You can do it!”
First, they had to measure my mana. It’s not like the one I exploded. It tells you high. it is. The lowest mana was a thousand. And the highest was Trinity with seven thousand. We train and train and as we get older our mana increases. The Holly knight that i trained with had ninety thousand for his number.
I placed both of my hands on the crystal ball. And couple of seconds later nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand showed up. I couldn’t believe it. The two instructors couldn’t believe their eyes. And now the numbers you get are secret. They write it down but nobody else see the numbers. Only reason I know the lowest and the highest is well because they are sisters. That’s right, Isabella had a thousand for her mana reserves. And now honestly there could have been a higher number than Trinitys number before mine. I just won’t know unless someone outright says his number.
The second exam was using the elements that you can use. They have stones or dummies that you can fire on. Now I walk up, at the dummies. The first dummy I aim and fire my wind cutter and slice the dummy clean through. The second dummy I shot a fire arrow at it.
And the third and the fourth dummies I used water and earth magic. Every was surprised when the found out the commoner can use the four elements.
And then I walked to the summoning circle. I poured some of my mana and it lit up. It took a minute or two, but a demon showed up. Now technically it was happening all day, but this demon wasn’t a normal demon, it was the princess of the demon king.
She was looking beautiful. Honestly. Of course, the long red hair that went down to the middle of her back. Looking beautifully. She has a sleek body with decent size breast. I’m surprised that I didn’t summon the demon king himself. I’m not fighting the demon war. But we’re definitely training for it. Mmm maybe I can end thing’s peacefully between the humans and the demons. I mean there are demons who made contracts with humans. So maybe I can end things for good.
Now she didn’t say anything. She was just looking at me. Maybe she’s surprised that a mere six-year-old summoned her. I would be. I was looking at her cautiously and I couldn’t make my mouth moved. Everyone was quiet. They didn’t dare to make a move against the princess. Then all of the sudden she walked over to me.
“Hi! You're going to be my husband!” Before I could even respond to what she said, she leaned in and kissed me on my lips. And we disappeared from the training grounds.
When we reappeared, we were in a throne room. The demon king and queen were there. The demon king had the typical demon look honestly. They need to have a better design; it’s getting tired of the same look. The princess definitely took on her mother looks. But hotter. When I looked closer, they were sitting on a throne was made out of human bones. I mean it did scare me a little bit.
“Father, this is who summoned me.”
“A mere child summoned you?”
“Yes, father he did.”
“Then he must have all lot of mana to summon you.”
“Yes, well over a million.”
A million! I have that much mana! Then the test went up to six digits. I was excited knowing I have that amount of mana. I could keep on going for days and not run out.”
“Boy, how old are you?”
“I’m six, sir.”
“Hahahahahaha a six-year-old summoned my daughter. Your young boy has a bright future ahead of you.”
“Thank you, but she said that I was going to be her husband?”
He chuckled;” Yes, you are correct. She is to be married to the one who summoned her.”
“Because I summoned her, we get married?”
“Yes, it’s been thousands of years, and no one summoned her. Until your young boy.”
I looked at her. Now I was definitely thinking about it. Marrying the demon king's princess. That would be great. But I would know the kid who married her.
“Why are you letting a human marry your daughter, demon king.”
“Why? Even though you humans think I that I started the war. It was her choice, that’s why.
“Wait, wait back you are telling me that you didn’t start the war?”
He chuckled again, “why would I start a war with the humans. I don’t need too. But my subordinate is though with a human king.”
“You’re telling me that you’re subordinate, and a king started the war?”
“Well ex subordinate but yes.”
He actually has plenty of proof of the subordinate and the king. But I don’t recognize the king.
“So, young boy, what’s your decision.”
“Mmm. Two things. One I don’t want to get married right now. And secondly there are three women who would fight her.”
“Hahaha, I don’t mind you having a harem.”
“I accept your first request and obviously my daughter accepts the second request. Now are you willing to marry my daughter?”
I looked at the princess. She was waiting nervously.
“Your hundred percent sure that you are willing to marry me?”
Without hesitation;” Yes.”
“Then let’s set the date when I become of age.”
The princess came running to me and plowed into me.” I’m so excited! We will make a great couple!” She kept on kissing me. She definitely tasted sweet. Like vanilla for some reason.
“Ten years from now?”
“Yes, I truly want to get to know her.”
“Are you fine with that daughter?”
“Yes!”
“Then it’s settled then. We you become sixteen you will marry my daughter.”
“By the way? What’s your name? I completely forgot to ask about her name.
“Oh, my name is Sophia.”
“That’s a lovely name, and my name is Hunter.”
“Well Hunter, let’s send you back!”
“Coming with me?”
“Oh! I can come with you?”
“I don’t see why not? Other people have demons with contracts.”
“Yippee!”
We said goodbyes to the Demon King and Queen.
“This should be fun, teleport us outside of the king’s castle. There will be commotion and he’s going to want an explanation.”
“Yes! Honey!”
And just like that. We teleported in front of the gates.
“I need to talk to the king.”
“Oh, there you are Hunter, yes follow me.”
“Wow, fancy castle.”
“Yeah, I know right.”
We may our way through out the castle. Sofia looking all around excitedly.
“By the way, the marriage is a secret. Only the king and the queen will know about.”
“How come?”
“I can’t be distracted I need to stay focused on my mission.”
“What’s your mission?”
“I need to find my friend. She’s missing.”
“Oh my.”
“Yes, I need to find her.”
“I’ll help you!”
“Thank you.”
“A kiss will be fine!”
“Later.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.”
“Hunter! There you are! My daughters said you had disappeared from the training grounds.”
“Yes. I sighed. So. When I went to summon a monster. I actually summoned the princess of the demon king.”
“Is that her?”
“Yes, this is the princess of the demon king. And there’s more. When I summoned her, without knowing I’m bound to get married to her because I summoned her.”
“Wait. What are you saying? You're bound to marry her?”
“Yes, she said that if anyone who summoned her, she would marry that person.”
“And you said yes? Even though we are at a war with their kind?”
“Well, you see your honor. The demon king didn’t start the war.”
“You’re telling me that the demon king didn’t start the war? Then who did?”
“His ex-subordinate and a king.”
“A king! You say that one of our own is a traitor!”
“I don’t hundred percent believe in him, but he gave me proof.”
“He gave you proof?”
“Yes, here’s the video.”
“A video?”
“Yes, your honor.”
“Mm let take all look at this video.”
Sofia waved her hands and a projective of the ex-subordinate and the king.
“Is that king, Kyron Robles? The king of Uthya kingdom?”
“Yes, you are correct dear.”
“We need to get more evidence. We need to send spies into that kingdom now!”
“Honey, if they find out that you sent spy’s it’s going to start a war.”
“We are already at war that is possible something more than a war. He’s planning on something.”
“Sadly, I think you’re right, your honor.”
“But before we ask him hunter, we need to be hundred percent sure that he’s a traitor. And if he’s possible a traitor then theirs likely going to be more.”
“Yes, we should be careful going forward, your honor.”
“Oh, by the way Hunter congratulations on passing the test. Tomorrow is the first day.”
“Tomorrow’s going to be an interesting day.”
“You will be fine, Hunter. And guards let them in.”
“Who- “
Before I could even finish the door opened up, and Isabella and Trin came running in and tackled me.
“Ouch that hurt you two.”
“That’s what you get for disappearing from us!”
“Yes! Isabella’s right! You scared us!”
“Where did you even go!”
“What did that woman say about you being her husband!”
“You can’t marry a demon!”
“Yeah, that’s wrong!”
Looking at Sophia, “Girls, she’s right there.”
“She?”
“Huh!”
“Hi girls” Sophia had gotten their attention.
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN HES YOUR HUSBAND!”
“YEAH, HES MIN-HES NOT YOURS!”
“Oh, so you two want to marry him?”
They kept on stuttering and getting flustered.
“Hey Sophia stop picking on them.”
“It’s too easy, Hunter.”
“Well, knock it off.”
“Why do you sound like you’re a grown man inside of a child.”
Shrugged my shoulders; “maybe because that’s the truth.”
“Oh, there’s all lot of things I don’t know about my future husband.”
“She said it again!”
“Why does she have her hands around his neck!”
“Such young love!” I heard Delia say.
***
” Why!”
“Because I don’t even know if you are allowed to come with me Sophia.”
“If I can! Can I go!”
“If only if you are allowed.”
“Yes! I’m so happy!”
“Don’t get your hopes up.”
“Too late! And I have to say that uniform looks adorable on you.”
“Thanks, but you saw me in it yesterday.”
“I did, but I didn’t compliment on it yesterday.”
“It’s too bad that I can’t sleep with you.” Sophia said with a sad expression.
“I’m six years old Sophia, that’s highly illegal.”
“But you are my future husband!”
“They know that, but you still can’t sleep with a six-year-old.”
She got all mad.
“I have to go; I’ll be back later. Or I’ll just telepathically call for you if you’re allowed to come.”
“I will be waiting for that message!”
***
” These looks are more dangerous than yesterday.”
“Well, you did disappear from the exam yesterday with a pretty woman who said that she’s going to be your future husband.”
“Yeah, some boys were talking bad about you.”
“Mm they can fight me.”
“That’s all?”
“Of course. Trin. If they want to do something they can do something about it.”
“Bold words.”
“Yes, they are Isabella.”
“Where is she anyways?”
“Sophia? I left her at the castle.”
“Why?”
“I didn’t think I could bring her Trin.”
“She can definitely come because she has a contract with you right?”
I froze.
“What hunter?”
“Yeah, what happened.”
“You guys have a contract, right?”
“Please tell me you two have a contract.”
“I-I, we-we didn’t make the contract.”
“YOU GUYS DON’T HAVE A CONTRACT!”
“Hunter, you guys need a contract in order for her to go with you.”
“I know Isabella, but it’s not that contract I have with her.”
“What contract do you have with her then?”
“Yeah! Tell us!”
“I-I- can’t it’s a secret. But I do have a contract with her.”
“You're truly going to marry her, aren’t you?” Isabella asked.
Sighed, “Yes.”
They both started arguing with me.
“Girls, girls, I didn’t say that I would only be marrying her.”
“What! You are marrying two people!
“Yeah! Who else!”
“I already told you. I made a promise to my best friend. Now let’s get to class before we are late.” “Oh, Sophia you- “
Poof!” I’m here!”
“Everyone is here now, let’s get going.”
***
The building only three stores tall. But half of it was for the commoners and the other half was for the royals. Now when I was saying I was getting stared at it was from both of them. Especially from the commoners. They think that I’m just a normal royal person. But they are wrong. I just had an opportunity, and I took it. And they think I’m going to marry one of them. I mean they aren’t wrong. I’m probably going to marry both. Sigh. Four girls. Kill myself now. I only wanted one but now possibly I’m going to have four. I’m getting off topic. But the school, well the Royal side was kept nice. The commoner's side was all torn down. The walls had holes in them. Paint was falling down. All of them had cracks in them. At least they used both of same exam site. And the same proctors. Some commoners even went into the Royal classes. But I still stand out as a sore thumb. Not only I know the two princesses very well but at least thirty people knew that I summon the demon princess. And I really can’t deny that.
And specially while she’s walking next to me. Just smiling like it’s not affecting her. Honestly probably used to it.
“Oh HUNTER! Nobody told you but you're giving a speech at the beginning of the school.”
“A speech! I’m giving a speech! Trin! You're just telling me this now!”
“Sorry! It slipped my mind!”
“It slipped my mind too. Whoever gets the top score gives a speech.”
“Great Isabella, how long do I have?”
“Well, if you were paying attention, you would have noticed that we were heading towards the auditorium. So about thirty minutes. And you will be on stage until your time.”
“This isn’t good. I’m not good at giving speeches.”
“You be fine!”
“Yes, you will be fine.”
“Darling, you will be wonderful!”
“Darling!”
“Did you just say darling!”
Sophia just smiled. She knew what she was doing. That twinkle in her. Knowing that she’s getting on their nerves.
“Behave yourself Sophia.”
“Only because you asked me too!”
Sigh: “You three better get along.”
All three:” okay!”
“That’s not assuring but okay.”
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! I’m your headmaster Valerie Yasbeck. She definitely is hot. Long black hair. Nerdy glasses look that what makes her hot. The uniform blocks how big her chest is. Which is sad. A nice round butt. Oh god why am I think this about her. I’m a fifteen-year-old in a six-year-old boy body. I’ve been at this academy for over thirty years. I’ve seen many, many talented students in this school. I know you guys will have long nine to ten years. So, in these coming years I hope to see many students achieve their dreams and goals. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing who will win the tournaments in the last year of school. But let’s worry about that later, for now let’s our new teacher come fourth and introduce herself!”
Wow brief introduction but whatever. This teacher was short like me. With curly sliver with a hint of purple in her hair. And she was pretty cute. With glasses. Her name is Emilia Clarke. And supposedly she’s Royalty. Some family, I honestly wasn’t paying attention because I was stunned by her beauty. More stunned than the headmaster.
“Now we have one more speaker, and he’s the one who got top scores on the Royal examination the other day. He is unique but that doesn’t mean that other people can’t stand out. And that’s already happened before school even started. We had five commoners who stood out and were transferred to the Royal exam rooms. Or I totally forgot about that well never mind that, you guys already know how to achieve that same reward. But let’s have the last speaker of today, Let’s have a warm welcome for Hunter!” Ok it’s my time. Going to keep a short and simple.
And now there was people clapping but not all lot.
“Before I say anything, thank you Miss. Yasbeck for having me here. Now I’m not going to give you a fifteen-minute speech and secondly you guys and girls wondering why did she say my first name only? Well, unbelievably, I’m a commoner.” There was a loud commotion. “Now, you can unbelievably, I don’t care honestly. Yes, you guys have seen me walk around school with the two princesses. That’s because not only once but I saved them twice. I’m not toting my around horn, I just happened to be in the right place at the right at the right time. Anyone would be in my position if anyone else saved them. And that’s why I’ve been staying in the castle. That is my reward for saving them. And yes, the rumors are true I do have a contract with the demon lord’s daughter. I honestly hope we have a good nine years together and lastly when we are ready to have regular practice fights its open season. If you think you can challenge me then do it. I want the competition. And I will not be going easy. It will be good for each other. That’s all, have a good follow classmates.”
“Wow, what a bold statement from hunter at the end. I love it! And yes, he is a commoner. Yes, he did save the princesses twice. He’s not lying. Now that’s the end of the speeches. Let’s have a great first day for everyone.”
“That was a good speech!”
“Were you nervous?”
“See I told you would be fine.”
“Thank you Trin. No, I wasn’t nervous Isabella and yeah, I was as fine.”
And we headed off to our class. And to my surprise the teacher was my teacher. So basically, there wasn’t needed for introduction. I sat in the back. Like normal. I did this back in my old life. Only because I didn’t want to get called on and because I take a nap when I need too. But knowing the two princesses they won’t let me sleep. And the third reason I’m sitting in the back is because of Sophia. How she dresses it’s getting the boys to stare at her. Getting a closer look at Emilia she’s way prettier than on the stage.
“Hey quite staring.”
“Can’t help it she’s pretty, Trin.”
“I know but enough with the staring.”
“Are you going after her?”
Confused, “why would I be going after her? Sophia. We don’t even know how old she is.”
“How many girls you want in your harem?”
Both girls started to get red. Oh, so they genuinely want to get married to me. Mm, I do want a harem and Sophia does have a good question how many do I want?
“I don’t know Sophia. Maybe I just want my childhood friend and you? I shrugged my shoulders. “Maybe I want seven? I’m only six, I’m not looking to get married right away anyways.”
“Hi there!” Now this little girl was wearing what Isabella and Trin was wearing, fancy clothes. Red hair like Sophia’s but not as long. And brown eyes. She was definitely cute. I wonder what she wants.
“Hello.”
“I will destroy you.”
“Ughhhh okay? Who even are you?” Both girl's gasp.
“My name is Violet Robles the daughter of Kyron Robles.”
“Doesn’t ring a bell, sorry.”
“Go away, you going to lose to him anyways.” Suddenly voice came behind us. We turned to see another girl. More stunning than Violet but not as stunning as Trin.
“Stay out of this Rose, this isn’t your conversation.”
“If he can use all four elements, you’re out class in every category.”
She huffs and puffs and walks away.
“Sorry about that, Violet is stubborn. My name’s Rose. Let’s be friend's hunter!” As extends her hand for a handshake.
“Sure, Rose nice to meet you.”
“You know Hunter she’s a princess.”
“Wait she is?”
The three girls, “Yes!”
“Well, I didn’t know. And to be honest I don’t care.”
“I’m a princess too!
“Oh cool.”
“So, you really don’t care.”
“I just don’t care about status. Besides kings and queens.”
“So, hunter which one do you like?”
“Huh? Which one do I like? What do you mean?”
“Oh, come on, you know what I mean!” She said with a smile.
“Who knows Rose. Who knows Rose.”
“Aww you’re not going to answer!”
“I did you just don’t like the answer.”
Isabella and Trin were not the brightest in the bunch because they were looking at us like they didn’t know what we were talking about.
The first couple of weeks were fine. Just boring school life again but with magic. She taught us how we can use magic. Apparently, we have an organ in our brains that allows us to use magic. And some people can actually see the magic. Like I can. I can see spirits also. Emilia went through our world history. There are in total nineteen different kingdoms. And one forest called the dark forest that separates The Espus kingdom and the Yaflon kingdom. Violet, she’s from the Espus kingdom. I’m just confused on why she’s in the Yaflon kingdom to learn about magic. Now for magic with have beginners, intermediate level, advanced level, master level and then empire level of magic. There is a six-level called lost magic like teleportation and like my storage system I have. Now with my teleportation only I can teleport sadly. That’s the one drawback. It’s all been lost. Until I found the book when I was five. The difference between master level and empire level is the destruction of your spells. Empire magic can literally destroy empires. But there are only a few people in the entire world who can actually accomplish that stuff. Now master level isn’t a joke either. Master level is when you have complete mastery of your elements. That can take years! Specially if you have more than one element.
Apparently, the war with the demons only started seven years ago. It hasn’t been happening for a long time. I need to find out more information on that situation.
The first two months of school has come and gone. I’m seven now. I’m still supposed that this world also has twelve months. Practically it’s earths months. Mine is in the ninth month. I didn’t really do much, the girls gave presents. Isabella gave me a necklace. Trin gave me a fancy pen so I can write back home and pendant for my necklace. Sophia gave me a sword. I’ve been practicing with one of the demon's Royal guards whenever I’m free. And I’ve been improving. Even though I was already decent with the sword. Rose gave me some money. Honestly, I didn’t need the money, but I wasn’t going to turn it down. We didn’t have a big celebration because I wasn’t Royal, but I didn’t care. Besides, we had a big celebration coming up anyways, Trins turns eight at the end of the year. Even though it’s still months away, she’s pretty nervous and excited about it. I honestly still getting used to this world and honestly, I still miss my old life. But I can’t go back to that world unless someone manga bullshit happens. Just like a recent anime show did. And now they are making it into a movie. The whole arc. Well, I was going to watch it but now I’m here.
Well, I’m not in a world where some shady organization is trying to get demon power and kidnapping woman. I have no idea what this world is going to throw at me but whatever it is I’m going to handle it. These powers I have, I didn’t want them. I wanted to work my way up, but the goddess had other plans. I guess the problem is truly a threat. Sigh. Maybe I could find my own slim suit. Nah I’m not going to hide my identity. Well hopefully. Sense I can see magic, wouldn’t a certain Jutsu be possible because I know how to use air magic? From a certain ninja? I bet it won’t be as powerful, but it should be decent. Nah, No never-mind. I already stole a technique from that anime. Sigh, still no leads to find my friend. Oh yes Violet and I have gotten better but she still sees me as her rival.
“Hey, you are paying attention?”
“Not really Isabella.”
“Something is on your mind?”
“There’s always something on my mind.”
“What’s on your mind.”
“Just stuff.”
“Oh, come don’t look at me like that. I’m just not ready to talk about it.”
“You will though?”
“Eventually.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.” Like they won’t believe me. Oh yes, I’m sorry I’m not originally from this world. And I have different knowledge about power and other things. Oh yes, I’m a seventeen-year-old trapped in a seven-year-old body. Sigh.
“I’m fine, Trin. Don’t worry about me.”
“H-H-How?”
I know you like me that’s how, “secret.”
Sigh, Couple of months have passed. Nothing has really been happening. And it’s the end of the year. Trin’s birthday was a success. Plenty of Royal figures had shown up. There was a lot of food for the feast. And honestly at the end of the night it was hauled off for the food pantry. Trin’s father is such a good king. It was very boring for me. I don’t really like dances. So, I just stood there leaning next to a wall, whenever I wasn’t dancing with the girls.
…
“Your majesty. There is a problem.”
“What is it? I’m busy.”
“There is someone who’s stronger than the demon king.”
“What! That’s outrageous!”
“But he’s only seven years old.”
“Seven! That’s just a kid!”
“Yes, but he can use all of the elements. And he’s very very excellent at each element.”
“He’s going to be a pain in the ass to deal with.”
“He needs to be killed.”
Creak!
“Who’s there!”
“I’ll go check.”
…
“There’s no one here.
