"[{~¦and?¦~}]"
This simple question caught him off guard and I noticed his grip weakening, but I didn't fight back, I just relaxed and kept yapping.
"[{~ Why are you so obsessed with yourself that you don't realize saying "I AM 3RD IN CLASS NOW WORSHIP ME" is absurd? I can understand if you are first, but seriously? Third-?¦~}]"
I held back my laughter but kept my smile.
"A-as you have known, my father is a baron an-"
"[{~ What's with the change of topics? And I have a higher rank than your father. And what is your rank even? A son of a failing baron?¦~}]"
While I am just an earl, it is a special case since the family does not serve anyone except the head of state itself.
"Oooooh"
The crowd chanted with me roasting him.
He was shocked at what I said and was about to sucker punch me but thankfully my bright and shining armor, The Shadow himself! DIEB! The bright and shining contradicts "The Shadow", the point still stands!
"Get off him!"
Because he was trying to sucker punch me, he wasted time and Dieb was faster than him. He ran up to him and dragged me away from him.
But then the student named "Allan" punched Dieb in the face. The fight then started. They began punching each other just like in a brawl.
"Fight, fight, fight fight!"
I just awkwardly stood looking at the fight that started because of me, tho it mostly started because of Allan. I then found Leigh running towards me.
"Are you hurt?"
"[{~¦nah, don't worry it was like getting flicked by an infant¦~}]"
I said while flicking my finger on the right hand repeatedly.
She raised her eyebrows
"Yeah…"
She noticed how Allan punched Pack a punch since Dieb was now bleeding. But also him too.
"[{~¦where is Karl anyway?¦~}]"
I already knew where he was, he was still trying to convince the teacher to stop the fight, but the teacher just wouldn't say "It is for the better good for them to learn". His reasoning is bullshit!
"He went to the teacher to get help for the trouble you made from making a penis. Who knows, he might be a radical and hates penis thinking it is gay"
"[{~¦hey! Just because I drew a penis does not mean it is my fault!¦~}]"
"Ugh"
"Uuggh"
I then heard both of them caught in blood.
"[{~¦I'll be right back…¦~}]"
I decided to step in and stop the fight from escalating any further. I stopped all of their movements using the mana from the world without moving a single limb.
"[{~¦There is a saying, that a single mage is equal to 10 prdinary people. And you, while there is no doubt you have mana, but as of now, you are just an ordinary man.¦~}]"
I then freed Dieb from my control and just let him watch me.
"Oooooh"
The crowd chanted as I said to him. I then grazed his right cheek and I was about to do much more when the teacher arrived with Karl. Tch.
I released Allan from my control and just let the teacher reprimand us. Thankfully the whole class was a witness.
"Is that true mikha?"
"Yes sir, we saw Eversor create a flame and Allan just attacked him out of jealousy"
A blonde-haired twink replied to the teacher. I am truly thankful, I do not want to be in trouble again since I would have to make a brand new lie.
The teacher then turned to Allan still touching his cheek in where I wounded him. It would be pretty funny if it gets infected, wait I should do that so he would be suspended. Hahahaha!
I then ignored what was about to happen, but I did hear the teacher say "Class dismissed!", so I turned to the three behind me, Karl, Leigh, and Dieb.
"[{~¦So, anyone wanna go out for lunch with me?¦~}]"
"Nah, I am going home, I got a report that this afternoon would be boring."
Dieb replied with his arms on his pants and a terrible posture. Typical edge lord
"Same, I am not going to listen to some seniors rambling on why they want to enter the student council"
Karl replied. He just hates positions because of his family.
"[{~¦well, what about you Meeyes evehlayn lai lion?¦~}]"
I intentionally butchered the pronunciation of her name. It made her eye twitch so it was worth it. It made a small chuckle come out from The Shadow.
"Well, sure if you would like to go off campus and walk for 300 meters. But knowing how your body is built, I wouldn't be surprised if you decline or at least faint after walking 100 minutes"
I then heard the other two laughing at her making fun of my body. I let out a sigh and proclaimed
"[{~¦ah, because you sucked my blood like a vampire, I got so weak! If only the woman in front of me never bit me!¦~}]"
"…. Yeah… I'm sorry."
She lowered her head. This was the first time in my life that I felt bad.
"[{~¦Apology accepted, now let's get off of here and eat! I am starving¦~}]"
While I am not starving, I am now craving for food.
"Sure, let's good"
She then looked at me with a small smile on her face.
We went to the school gate and exited the campus. After which we began walking towards the restaurant. I just followed her, but one thing we discovered was that it was cold. That probably is because it is the ninth month of the year, to be more precise November 17, 1898.
(On this planet the months are as follows: March, April, May, June,quintillis, sexillis, September, October, November, December, January, and February).
While it was cold, it was bearable. And so, we reached the restaurant in 5 minutes after exiting the campus.
She ordered the usual rich girl food like cake, truffles, sausage, and some salad. But I have different tastes.
"I would like to order 3 plates of mashed potatoes, 4 cheese fries, and 2 glasses of chocolate milk."
The waiter took our order and left. But as I looked at her face, I noticed she was baffled at my order.
"[{~¦what? Shocked at my highly nutritious meal? ¦~}]"
"Yes, looking at your body, I always thought you have a fast metabolism, you eat trash food, or you have an eating disorder. But this… you don't even have proper nutrients"
"[{~¦I don't need them¦~}]"
It was a fact. Even if I don't eat for a millenia or more, nothing will change,
After our meal, we slowly walked to our campus again. Thankfully we can take all the time in the world since there won't be any classes. There will only be some seniors persuading us to vote for them tomorrow.
"[{~¦So, about your past parents- what do you think is the reason they stabbed you?¦~}]"
I nominated a topic that we can talk about, tho I already know why, I just asked her to make her think.
"Beats me, all I remember was them being extremely busy."
"[{~ The fact they were deemed heretics and excommunicated means they did some vicious. Imagine if they summoned a demon and used you as a blood sacrifice, that would be horrifying¦~}]"
"Yes, that would be horrifying. But the fact I am alive disapproves that."
I just nodded my head. For a genius man but without omniscience, it would be impossible to know what her parents were doing with the lack of information. No one, not even her parents knew they turned their daughter into a demon lord.
Once we reached the school campus, we immediately were told by staff on the school to head to the stage where everyone would be staying for 5 hours. It is now 12:30, so I don't know why he is telling us this since the program wouldn't start until 1 PM, but I just stayed silent and nodded my head.
We headed to the gymnasium anyway and found signs to indicate which class would sit there. We looked for our seats and after a few minutes, less than 2, we found where the class would be seated.
Because we are only 7th graders, the seat was near the front. We sat near each other…. Nah we sat beside each other. She was on my right, and as she was about to doze off, I suddenly started yapping.
"[{~¦imagine if there is a terrorist attack in the school during the election campaign, that would be pretty interesting don't you think? ¦~}]"
"Where do you even get those thoughts!"
While she was expecting me to just talk randomly, she was not expecting this kind of topic.
"[{~¦Who knows?¦~}]"
I just started yapping at the topic that I nominated, like saying if the admin is ever caught by the terrorist, will they demand money from him, or just kill him outright?
"…. I do not want to know what your mind is made up of"
"[{~¦carbon?¦~}]"
She just stayed silent for a couple of seconds and asked something serious.
"Why do you cling so much to me? It's the first day and with your "extrovertedness", you'd be better off going to random pe-"
I immediately interrupted her
"[{~ Why should I? You are far too interesting! You are far too interesting that I am interested in you!¦~}]"
"I-is that a confession… or?"
She was amazed at my boldness. But I just ignored it. I put my arm on her shoulders and with my remaining arm, I raised it to reach for the skies.
"[{~¦You're memories! The cool knife! You sucking my blood like a vampire! We are a duo of schizos! And what's better than a schizophrenic person? Two schizophrenic persons!¦~}]"
She just stayed silent with a straight face at my speech.
"[{~¦anyways, to make it simple, I just hang out with you because I want to. It is fun¦~}]"
It seems she was touched by what I said
After waiting for a couple of minutes, the program finally started. I just dozed off because there was nothing interesting... Until there was!
His name was N, and he was in his 8th year. He, an 8th grader ran for school president. And what made up my mind about voting for him was his promise to change the school uniform.
For boys, it would be simple black shorts and a regular white T-shirt. That is so good! Imagine the comfort for me….. tho it would be uncomfortable for other people because of different climates, why should I care!?
And the best part is the girl's uniform! It will be changed into a maid outfit! Thankfully this school is a private school so the government can't be involved.
The program finished faster than usual so we were dismissed faster than usual. Because it is an open campus, many students already were planning to go home…. Sadly for them, their parents or caretakers do know we were dismissed fast so they still have to wait until 5 pm. That was when I took my chance.
We were now in the classroom with the majority of my classmates here. The only ones missing were Karl, Dieb, the guy who punched me, and some other 3 students who left home while walking.
I walked towards the empty teacher's desk and stood on top of it. It caught the attention of my classmates.
"[{~¦Now, you are wondering why I am standing on the teacher's table. But before my speech, may I ask for your first impression of me?¦~}]"
"Talkative"
"Smart"
"Weirdo, but smart"
"Handsome….."
I heard a random female classmate who isn't relevant whisper that, but I just ignored it,
"[{~ I see, but what I will be talking about here is not about myself! It is about ourselves! Our future! To be more precise, I will be talking about the future school president! And I am here, to persuade you to vote for Nicholaas!¦~}]"
"That weirdo?"
"That pervert and racist who rambled about kicking out the black people?"
I just ignored their remarks on the person
"[{~ Yes, that is it! But what if I told you that he is just joking!? I talked to him yesterday and he told me he would make a racist joke for comedy¦~}]"
That is a lie, we never met. And second, there was no class yesterday
"[{~ But, there was something he told me he would never lie about, the uniforms! Think about it, the comfort! The aesthetics! Girls, wouldn't it look great to see your crushes in regular clothes? To see their muscles being revealed by the t-shirt they are wearing?¦~}]"
Some girls blushed. I am amazed at how fast they made crushes on some boys in this class.
"[{~ And boys, think about it! Seeing our beautiful female classmates here in a maid outfit. THINK ABOUT IT! While you may see them sometimes in a maid outfit because you are dating…. Tho I would be amazed if some people are already dating….. you will see them in a maid outfit every day!¦~}]"
"Nicholaas!"
"Nicholaas!"
"Nicholaas!"
The majority of the students in the classroom chanted his name. It seems I was successful, however I am not going to interfere with the election process. I just hope he will win.
It is now exactly 5:15 PM and almost all but 2 students remain in the classroom. It was now me and Leigh, all alone in the classroom.
I then noticed her waking up from her 40-minute nap, a nap that she took after my speech to the class.
"Oh, you are still here?"
"[{~¦It is better to spend time with someone who I consider a friend than to spend time at home doing nothing other than hearing the footsteps of my servants¦~}]"
They are my direct creations, I can never feel any bond towards them. Every detail of their personalities is directed by me.
"So, we are friends then?"
A smile appeared on her face.
"[{~¦well, we ate together. We made fun of each other, and we have a bond. If we aren't friends after that then I don't know what friends are anymore!¦~}]"
We had a laugh with each other.
"But, why do you prefer time with me than them? Didn't you spend more time with them than me?"
"[{~¦They are far too average and boring!¦~}]"
She stayed quiet and just stared at the board. And so I asked a question to get her attention
"[{~ What about you? You still haven't gone home ~}]"
"My parents just decided they will fetch me from school late….. Around 6 PM because they don't trust anyone to drive me or fetch me"
"[{~¦I see…. Troubling?¦~}]"
She shook her head slowly in response. It seems she really likes her new parents
"They may be overprotective, but I am thankful for them"
She showed a small but noticeable smile.
"[{~¦You should smile more. You look really good when you smile.¦~}]"
She was baffled at my confession, it was just too sudden. While I too would be baffled if someone just said I am beautiful if I am a girl, I just say what I want to.
"T-that's such a bold move. Confessing too early"
I just tilted my head
"What I meant to say was, you can't just say that to a girl"
"[{~¦why? I say what I want to say no matter what. That my friend is called freedom!¦~}]"
She rolled her eyes at what I said. But we are both right. I shouldn't say what I want to say since it might offend someone, but I can also say what I want to say because I have the freedom to do so.
"Yes, but there is something called shame"
"[{~¦HAHAHAHAHA!-¦~}]"
I stood up and pointed my finger at her
"[{~¦aw my dear sweet female friend that is a vampire. I do not know the word "shame". What is it? In fact, I can just go to school naked and not feel shame! That is freedom!¦~}]"
"?…?…. That's a weird topic change but alright then…"
I just continued yapping and kept changing topics whenever I felt like it, so she could never process the topics that I talked about. That was until a piece of paper just appeared in front of her.
"[{~¦teleportation huh? I can get the gist of it ~}]"
"Huh? Wait stop it is dangerous!"
She shouted but I successfully teleported myself into another chair.
"H-huh? How did you?"
I turned around and tilted my head
"[{~ What do you mean? I just weakened space using mana, and with that weakened space, used mana to remove myself in the position and move into another position ~}]"
"That's not how teleportation works-. How it works is by transforming something that you want to teleport into energy. And that energy is then instantly moved at the speed of light to the desired location. However, if a living being is teleported, it results. In one's death because of the "dismantling and reconstruction"."
I snapped my fingers and teleported her to another chair.
"[{~ If that is not teleportation, then what even is teleportation anymore?¦~}]"
"I-I can't believe it. This should be impossible!"
"[{~¦Impossible? Heh, why not?¦~}]"
I then teleported her again into another chair. The only real answer to this is that I used my own version of teleportation. In a much more advanced way, the explanation I gave to her is only the tip of the iceberg.
She immediately ran up to me and grabbed me by the shoulders.
"Let's have a deal, starting you teleport me to my house every 5:15 PM, and I give you any food you want in the morning."
A good deal for me, I receive my favorite food for absolutely nothing
"[{~¦deal! Make me salted potato chips on Wednesday!¦~}]"
She stood up and hastily left the classroom. I just sat down quietly watching her her exit the school campus.
I was now all alone sitting in the room that was slowly getting dark. I immediately teleported to a random Jungle in the Eastern Empire where I would be conducting my most heinous experiments yet. "Special skills" is what my father calls them.
Unfortunately, I do not have them, however, with my sword
