Chapter 4

We were both busy eating our food on the cafeteria. My brother is silent like me, used to the stares of those who surrounds us now. It's been days since we came here and it looks like some are still not used of our presence. I am not comfortable but I got used to it.

"Are you sleepy?" I asked Nightyleon who is already yawning the moment we finished eating.

A nod answered my question. That's my cue to carry him on my arms. In just few minutes, he fell asleep. His tiny hand is slightly grasping my hair but I didn't do anything about it. He looks like a tired cinnamon roll.

I immediately went up when I felt Serenety's presence. After that encounter on Hands of Time, she always does everything just to piss me off.

The more I'm ignoring her, the angrier she gets.

It's already evening and I can feel the intensity of my eyes, after I got the title, the night began to overwhelm me to an extent. I felt like I'm in full power and it's scary that if I'm provoke I might go berserk.

I am not even sure if I can control this. I was trained hard back then to have a great stamina, control over my mind and body, speed and many more. But without proper training on handling this dangerous power will eventually bring chaos to many.

As much as I can, I am avoiding that angel as soon as the darkness of the night bites. Aside from it is dangerous for her and for the others, I'm with Nightyleon and I won't risk his safety.

In one swift motion of my hand the whole cafeteria fall in darkness. I fastly went away from there carrying my brother, and went to those I knew who can help me. I go to the office of the Headmistress.

On swift knock and Helena open the door for us, she is the right hand witch of the Headmistress.

"What brings you here?" She asked.

I heave a sigh, "I wanted someone to train me over my power."

By her reaction I know that she expected what I'm asking. Shaking her head, she look at me seriously.

"Before you got here, one of the Masters told me about what happened to our clan, they asked me to investigate something I cannot disclose to you, that cost plenty of our trusted personnels here to be busier than they could be." She sighed. "I wanted to entrust you to someone with higher rank in this school since you're a holder of two titles, but because of the circumstances, someone whom I know will handle you, I'm sure he will do a great job because you're both alike in some ways."

Even though I am confused, I nodded. I know the situation of the Gods Clan is alarming, but to see that even this institution move their hand for this, I can sense something big.

After that night, I made sure Serenity won't be able to piss me off at night. I don't know how untamable this power can be, and I'm also wary of the potential of my power as the goddess of beauty.

I can see everything around me blooming and turning into a swan from being a duckling. It can be non living or living things.

"Everytime I'm with you I'm getting more stares than normal." Clea whispered beside me while eyeing some of the students around us.

She is carrying Nightyleon who is not comfortable of her presense. My brother do not want to be touch my others unless he trust that person. That is why I was shock when I found him calm around Lady Amory. But I assured him that Clea can be trusted, he silently gave up but he still looks pissed.

"It's because we're from a rare clan," that is the only reason I can think of.

She chuckled with a tone of disbelief.

"Of course not! You really think like that all this time? We are used of seeing someone from Clan especially that the Headmistress herself is one. They are looking at us because they can't help but to be captivated by your beauty!"

"What?" I can't help but to frown.

"Really! But maybe because you're the goddess of beauty."

She look at me closely, as if examining my face carefully.

I turn my face away from her.

"Stop it."

She laughed, "Sorry! Your beauty is the first thing that I noticed on you, everyone would stare at that and you're not even aware?"

My lips pursed a bit. I thought it was because of my clan. I was not able to give that kind of reason a chance to think that is the reason of their stares.

The class is already over and Clea and I was among the few who went out of the room. She's just that friendly and fun to be with.

I took Nightyleon from her when we arrived in front of the house of upper class A+. It is huge to the point that we rarely see each other, and sometimes because it is better to stay inside the room with my baby brother. I have no considered close friend yet, and I'm not sure if I'm keeping one. But Clea's company is nice.

I directed myself towards the rooftop, and there I felt the embrace of the air. I miss the waves of the sea and the harsh breeze together with the sands on my feet. Here, the wind is soft, just enough for a lullaby, that is why, Nightyleon immediately fell asleep.

I can see the view of some part of the academy from here. There are even angels and fairies flying under the clouds and above the trees.

"Why are you here?"

I didn't have to turn my head towards his direction. I already felt his presence as he approach me, from that I know it's him. I was able to prove that when he speak. His deep but dangerous voice gave him different image.

"I sealed this place my territory," he added.

That made me face him.

"This is the Academy's territory, Azai Magnus."

In a blink of an eye he is already in front of me. My heart accelerate at his advance.

For the second time, I felt his fingers playing at the tip of my hair. His eyes are dark and unreadable. His gazes went to Nightyleon in between us before it landed on my eyes again.

"My words are the law here, Goddess."

I took a step back. He had no choice but to let go of the tip of my hair that he plays his fingers with.

"Why? Because you're a prince?"

Forehead crease, he tried to touch the tips of my hair again. What is with him and the tip of my hair?

"What are you doing?" I asked again.

His attention weren't with me anymore. I purse my lips as I take a step away from him. He looks pissed at what I did. His forehead still crease, but the dark expression on his face is added.

I felt the hard wall when I took another step back.

"What do you think you're doing?" I can't hide the irritation on my voice.

I am still carrying Nightyleon, thankfully because if not his advances will lead us to a very awkward position.

He found the tips of my hair again before his attention went back to me.

"Why are you here?"

"Because I wanted to go here?" I answered confusedly.

He licked his lips, he had a glimpse of my brother who is sleeping peacefully while I am carrying him.

"Wait..." I said in a low voice before I released my hair from his playful fingers. He look really offended when I did that.

"What the hell," and he has the audacity to get mad.

I hug Nightyleon carefully while frowning at him.

"You're touching my hair!"

His forehead crease, still offended he tried to find his way on the tip of my hair. What's with him?

"So?"

His expression just calm down when he was able to do what he wanted again.

I sigh and let him do what he wants.

"I won't go here anymore," I talk to myself but he heard it.

"Why?"

I'm not sure if he knows what he's saying, he's just focus on examining my face, and his hand on my hair. He's weird!

I suddenly forget why I came here! The air and the memories I'm trying to reminisced.

"You just told me this is your property."

His eye brow arc. "So?"

I groan at his remark.

What's with him and this weird conversation? And where it going? It's just going round and round, I can't even understand it.

I wasn't able to sleep properly because of that encounter with the demon prince. I don't often meet people but I'm sure I'm not going to have conversation lacking sense to anyone as that.

And my poor brother didn't even know what happened while he's in between something I cannot comprehend.

"I'll group your into three and you'll fight each other," Lady Amory said in front of us.

The three of us, Serenity and Clea are on the same group, that is why, we will fight against each other.

This battle is to train our mind and physical body. We have to enemies with two different powers, it would sharpen our mind to think of a plan before engaging ourselves into a battle.

When Lady Amory signal our start, I can feel the intensity of everyones presense. Clea who's normally jolly and Serenity who's always irritated are surprisingly serious now.

I tried to feel their every movement. We're facing each other and by the looks on their faces I can see that they're trying to form a plan just like me.

Clea is a fairy and a wizard, I should be wary of her. Same with Serenity who is an angel, I don't even know her ability yet. They both have wings to fly, but I can also fight on air.

I put a shield barrier when I sense Clea approaching. She is casting a spell and the target is me. Serenity however tried to attack me too with a kick, she must be trying to hide her ability to have it as an ace, or it must be something cannot be seen.

I dodge both of the attack by moving my body swiftly on the left to avoid the spell and using Serenity's flying kick I blocked it.

She groan when it hit her feet, while Clea advance at me again flying with a ball of light in her wand. I felt the rise of Serenity's presence, and when I look at her, I know something in her improved.

I swift motion of my hand, the place darkened, it's not yet night and I already summon it. I am aware of what it will bring. Abnormality of work of time.

That was just quick that is why I fastly run towards Clea, I touch her arm and directed it on Serenity. I can see them clearly, but they can barely see me. When Serenity was hit, I heard her using vulgar words several times, but our other classmates were heard also, mad because they can not see anything.

Clea tried to fight me and she touch my stomach, a few chants made me flew a few meters away from them. I felt the pain but I was still able to stand up.

When the darkness subsided, the raging Serenity went to attack me, the impact of her punches made my eyes wide. Is this enhance strength?

Every of her punch's land were dodge by me. Clea is away from us while she is attacking us with different kind of spells. I was able to dodge some, but some landed on my body. She must be using basic kinds of spell, not enough to bring major damages on us. And I have a shield barrier that's why I took lesser damage.

I concentrated my power on my arm to equal Serenity's massive strength. The other was covered by the color of the night while the other were covered by silver white power.

"Bitch, now I have an excuse to hurt you."

I shake my head on her synchronized by my push on her towards Clea's direction. They both stumble on the ground.

Serenity attacked Clea with several kicks on the gut when she was the first one to stand up from the two of them.

"You too! You just leave a scratch on my face!"

I felt guilty at the sight of Clea in pain. I attacked Serenity and punch her on her side. She stopped what she was doing to Clea and her eyes went to me.

Before we could hurt each other, Lady Amory stop the both of us.

I can see her eyes glaring at Azai Magnus who looks dangerously uncontrollable. His black flames took plenty of trees and his opponents are severely injured. But what caught my attention is Nightyleon who's now in his arms looking wonderingly at him.

From what I remembered he's sitting under a tree drinking his milk! I look at that and I saw the tree laying on the ground, not from his flames but surely from something else.

I immediately towards the both of them.

"What happened?"

My heartbeats were fast and I suddenly became full of worries. Was he nearly hurt? And just a few meter from me? I suddenly became really nervous out of fear.

"Azai Magnus! I know you just want to protect the child but you've gone overboard!"

The brute didn't even pay attention because he's busy glaring at my brother who's also glaring back at him.

"What happened?" I asked him again.

One touch on his arm and his attention were fixed immediately at me.

Lady Amory is still busy with the two fatally wounded students, and we were the only ones left here.

Azai Magnus' eyes went down where my hand is touching his arm. I immediately move myself away. His gazes went back to my face.

He is about to let go his another hand on my brother, I knew where is this going.

"Hold him properly!"

He wasn't able to do what he wanted and he close his eyes angrily because of it. He looks frustrated when he open his eyes again.

"What happened?" I repeated, few times already.

"My opponent cut the tree using his ability, I saved your brother."

I seriously look at him, "Why did you hurt them?"

"Pissed," a simple answer from him like it wad the reason about everything on his life.

I can't help but to frown. I get my brother away from him, he hugged me because of that, that is when I started to felt his fear on what happened. He silently sob on me.

I was immediately filled with worry and I am already questioning myself. I can't even look over him properly! What if something bad happens? The thought of seeing him hurt on my watch scared me. I felt my tears in the corner of my eyes.

My eyes went up to Azai Magnus when I felt his hand on the tip of my hair again. Like he found opportunity to do that again because he's not carrying my brother anymore.

His eyes are serious as he watch me.

"Thank you..." it was not that loud, but he heard that.

I hug Nightyleon carefully and tried to calm him down. Same with the hand of the prince in front of me who tried hard calm my afraid heart.
