SssssssHhhhhhhhhhhh
Kyra’s tightly shut eyes frowned as she heard a strange sound. Most of all, she wasn’t falling. Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw…
Victor held her as he hovered in the air, blue flames emanating from his feet, burning away his black shoes as they slowly descended from the sky…. However, his eyes were on the ground rather than on her…. as he stared at the ground, his face was a mixture of shock and dread.
‘He saved me… ah,’ she thought, her heart heavy with a mix of relief and confusion. She mumbled, “Why did you save me? I really—”
“Shut the fuck up!!” Victor’s cold voice cut her off. Before she could react, he knocked her out. He then turned his attention to something more pressing.
He saw a dead body covered in a hoodie!
Thud
Victor landed in a tree, observing the chaotic scene below. The guards were panicking, the area around the bloody spot a hive of activity.
“Inform the Principal!”
“Surround the perimeter!”
“Check if that person is alive!!”
The guards shouted orders at each other as one of them approached the dead body and pulled back the hoodie.
Victor’s eyes widened in shock when he saw a bald man, “Kennedy?”
Suddenly, one of the guards shouted, “Guys, I found some students roaming around here!!”
Victor turned in that direction and saw….. a yellow-haired girl wearing a hoodie, her face flushed and lowered, accompanied by a bluish-black-haired boy who also kept his head down in shame.
“Vesperine? Kai?” Victor mumbled, trying to process the bewildering scene before him.
While everyone was preoccupied with Kai and Vesperine….. no one noticed a small spider-like object skittering away from the dead body and disappearing into the bushes.
“What are you guys doing here?” one of the guards demanded, his face furious.
“W-We were just talking,” Kai stammered, his face flushed with embarrassment as if they had been caught red-handed.
The guard eyed their dishevelled clothes and sighed, ‘Tsk,’ he thought, shaking his head. Whatever the reason, he couldn’t let any evidence or anyone leave the perimeter.
Suddenly, the Principal appeared at the scene.
She stared at Kennedy, her face a mask of surprise, ‘How is he here?’ she wondered.
He was supposed to be in prison, yet here he was. She frowned deeply and checked his pulse. ‘He is indeed dead…’ she thought, letting out a heavy sigh. Then she noticed Kai and Vesperine. She frowned and asked what they were doing there.
“W-We wanted to see the stars…” Kai replied awkwardly.
The Principal stared blankly at Kai, noting their wrinkled clothes. She sighed deeply and instructed them to stay put for the time being, until their classroom teacher arrived.
“!!!” Victor flinched when he noticed the Principal’s gaze shift to the tree where he was hiding.
The Principal slowly mouthed words with no sound, but Victor understood. He immediately moved away from the crime scene.
Meanwhile, the Principal sighed even more deeply, ‘What kind of mess is this?’ she wondered. Soon, other professors arrived at the scene.
After an hour or so,
The Principal returned to her house and saw Kyra sleeping peacefully on her bed. Victor was staring out the window, his expression thoughtful and troubled.
“What happened?” the Principal asked, her tone serious and demanding.
Victor took a deep breath, his mind racing as he gathered his thoughts. He began recounting the events of the evening and the past few hours in painstaking detail.
“…” The Principal frowned her face a picture of deep contemplation, her eyes narrowing as she mulled over the troubling events of the night.
Victor broke the tense silence, his voice tinged with urgency, “What happened to Kennedy?”
The Principal sighed, “Unfortunately, the investigation is still ongoing. We aren’t sure how he managed to escape from prison, or why he ended up dead here. It could be suicide, but there’s also the possibility that he was… killed.”
She still couldn’t believe how he managed to escape the cell didn’t break, and there was no hint of digging or even using any magic… so she concluded someone must have helped him.
But who?
Victor’s eyes narrowed, “And what about Kai and that girl? What were they doing here?”
The Principal shook her head, “It looks like they were just having some ‘innocent fun’, but given the circumstances, they are still under investigation. We can’t take any chances.”
She sighed deeply, rubbing her shoulder with a tired expression as she glanced at Kyra, who lay asleep on the bed, her face peaceful and untroubled, “She seems unstable…. For the time being, let’s keep her here where we can keep an eye on her” With a snap of her fingers, a shimmering barrier appeared around the room.
Victor frowned, his concern growing, “Is that wise? It’s not like jumping from the building is her only option. She could find another way to hurt herself.”
The Principal smiled, though it didn’t reach her eyes, “That’s why you are here.”
“Huh?”
She winked at him, her tone light but her eyes serious, “Help me, my disciple. Your master is having a hard time dealing with everything. Can’t you lend me a hand?”
Victor blinked, genuinely surprised by her request. ‘She needs my help?… This feels fishy,’ he thought, noticing her lack of affection. It felt as if she was planning something, something that required his cooperation.
“Of course, I would love to help my master,” Victor said, stepping closer. He walked behind her and rubbed her bac-ahem… He controlled himself before forcing his hand to rub her shoulders.
Victor then added, his voice low and probing, “Mind telling me what the hell you are planning now?”
[+1000 AP]
The Principal chuckled softly, her laugh a mix of amusement and something darker, “Nothing much… just a short break.”
“Huh?” Victor frowned, confusion etching lines across his forehead.
The Principal smiled, her eyes twinkling with a mix of mischief and weariness, “You and Delphine will take care of Kyra’s situation. Meanwhile, Alaric will handle Kennedy’s case.”
“What do you mean?”
“Are my words not clear?” she asked, her tone teasing but her gaze sharp.
Victor’s lips twitched, and the urge to slap those booties…. almost overwhelming, but he controlled himself. ‘Now is not the time,’ he thought, his mind racing, “I feel something is very wrong with this academy.”
The Principal’s frown deepened for a moment, her eyes reflecting concern, ‘Maybe he’s traumatized by Kennedy’s death,’ she thought.
Victor had been involved with Kennedy from the very beginning, right up until his death. Being still young, it was possible that the situation had affected him more deeply than he realized.
‘Looks like Delphine will need to watch over two children,’ she thought, then said softly, “Don’t worry too much, Victor. Everyone is here to support you. Nothing will happen.” Her voice was surprisingly reassuring and gentle, a stark contrast to her usual stern demeanour.
Victor blinked, seeing her soft expression, ‘So she can be soft sometimes…’ he thought, having only seen her furious side that often left him nursing broken limbs.
The Principal added, her face turning serious again, “To be honest, I will be going to the Pyra Empire for preparations…”
“Hmm?” Victor tilted his head, curious.
“The next trial will mostly likely take place in the Pyra Empire. I need to visit beforehand to inform their ruler about the details. Otherwise, it will be a pain in the ass to deal with those jerks… it might be considered trespassing.”
Victor was taken aback, “Even you need to ask for permission? You’re a Sovereign! Why do you need permission?”
The Principal chuckled lightly, her amusement was genuine this time, “It’s not about permission, Victor. It’s about their pride… You will understand once you meet them.”
Victor nodded with a shrug, and then…. His lips then curled up slyly, his face taking on a sad and lonely expression, “I am going to miss my Master~”
The Principal tilted her head back, seeing through Victor’s lame act. She shook her head in amusement before leaning into his chest, which surprised Victor, “Well, consider this a reward for your hard work.”
Victor’s eyes widened in surprise as he felt the Principal’s body leaning into his. He could feel her soft, warm flesh pressing against him, her ample ass brushing against his crotch, sending shivers down his spine.
‘She’s really busty~’ Victor nodded in satisfaction as his hand moved on its own, touching her busty ass.
“!!!!!”
The next thing he knew, his consciousness faded away.
‘B-But I don’t regret anyth…ing….’ Those were his final thoughts as he caught a glimpse of the furious, flushed woman glaring at him with deadly intent.
