Familiar name

While on my way to the classroom, I heard someone calling my name.

"Arthur."

When I looked I saw the same girl who was getting bullied a while ago.

"What, you called?"

She froze for a moment at my reply.

"No, nothing... it's nothing."

"okay!

Heading for the classroom."

"Y-yes."

Why does she mumble everything? Anyway I'm going in the same direction, I should ask her to go together.

"Oi... Come here, walk side by side it's awkward."

"O-okey."

She said with a little nervous expression. And walked side by side to me, while keeping her head down. But she still maintained some distance from me.

On our way, there are only sounds of footsteps no one said anything, I don't have anything to ask, and she looked too scared to answer.

It didn't take long to arrive at the classroom. After we reached our destination I entered first. The classroom went silent again, everyone stared at me while I walked to my seat.

I ignored them and sat down. It's about time for the lecture, I don't want to hear it again, so I'll be sleeping through the whole process.

...

"That's it for today."

"Wow I feel so tired."

"Yeah me too."

I can hear students chatting with each other.

'Hmm'

I saw a group of boys looking at me. No, they were not looking at me, but at my hand with the bottle of wine.

Anyway, I have something important. I shouted at all the students as they were to leave the classroom.

"Hay!"

Everyone startled and looked at me with the fear in their eyes. They looked afraid to like I'm going to eat them.

"Who can use magic in this classroom?"

I can't use mana, I'm born with no mana so, I can't perform any little magic.

No, one answered so asked again with a frown.

"Oi... Answer my question."

"I-I can use magic..."

A boy raised his hands. He was shivering, not that I care. I Slowly walked towards him, everyone looking at me.

I got in front of him, raised my hand and asked.

"Cool it."

"Pardon!''

He was dumbfounded, because I asked him to cool my wine, I mean who liked warm wine.

"Just do what I told you to do."

"O-okey."

He replied hesitatingly and started using ice magic. After he's done. I patted his shoulder and left.

...****************...

Today was the worst day of the students in their life.

After the ceremony incident they were already not stable and, everyone remembered a boy who died in front of them, a masked man who gave the feeling of death.

But, it all changed after another boy entered with an axe and plier in his hands. He alone brutally killed all the invaders.

Everyone thought that the masked man was the real deal, but we were wrong.

The masked man who was laughing a while ago begged for his life. The boy who did not stop stabbing the invader, the masked man faced a trauma he will recover from.

When the boy stopped he walked towards the dining table, and started eating with his bloody hands. It was disgusting to look at.

But, no one could say anything to him. They all were scared.

When the instructors came they also maintained distance from him, like they already know who he is.

When we thought it would be the last time we'd see him but the thought was shattered. Because, he turned out to be a classmate.

He arrived late and didn't bring any books, instead he brought a bottle of wine.

All he did was drink and sleep, he didn't focus on the lecture, when it was time leave he woke up and asked for a magician.

Everyone thought about what he was going to do now, then he asked to cool down the wine.

Then left like nothing.

Everyone's thoughts became complicated, His name has been printed permanently in their mind.

'Arthur.'

And there was a girl who was thinking something. Her finger on her chin, her gray hair and blue eyes were deep in thoughts.

It's a familiar name, I had heard of this name before but where? I should investigate when I get home.

***

"Welcome back lady."

When Aria arrived at home she was greeted by the servants. Aria nodded and entered her room.

She sits on the side of the bed and then she calls her personal maid.

"Greeting lady... how can I help you."

"I want you to investigate someone."

"Alright miss"

The maid replied while keeping her head down.

"There's a boy in our class, he is quite unusual."

"So, you want me to look at his background."

"Yes, his name is Arthur that's all I know for now."

"Leave it to me lady."

"Alright! and bring it as soon as possible."

After the conversation the maid leaves and Aria is left alone in her room.

"Haa... Today was tiring."

It's very hard to keep up with the lecture, but it's the only way to make her dream come true.

If it's for that dream I'll do anything as long as it's valuable. And for that I need someone who can help me complete that dream.

***

"Achoo..."

Is someone thinking of me? Naah I'm thinking too much.

"Hay get in quickly we are leaving."

"Hay, I'm coming wait for me..."

***

Next day At the academy.

"Everyone gets ready for a practical 1 vs 1 duel."

"Ehhhh....."

Duel, What duel?

I was dumbfounded. I didn't know something like that was organized.

"Go to the training ground with your duel partner and take position."

What? F*ck It's just a duel, it won't affect me. I'll just sleep in the classroom.

"And to remind you again this practical is compulsory for every one."

"F*ck you!"
