Chapter 17 : Awkward

Ding..Dong....ding....

Hearing 11 bell continues low chimes, madam finally stopped continuing telling her life experiences in the noble circle and left.

In this school, every class duration is 45 minutes. The last class was language and literature study which i spent by taking a quick nap.My sleep however didn't break because of the bells chimes nor because of the students cheer but by the getting drenched in cold water.

My sleep gone instantly like a punctured balloon out of thin air. Because of this sudden water splash, i jumped out of sit and looked around in shock.Only to see a purple haired angrily staring at me. I asked in disbelief,

"Melana...?"

"Yes, this miss is Melena of the great Steins family. This young lady don't like to talk with the people likes you, but this humble lady was forced to because of your inappropriate behaviour.Why were you suppressing your laughter while this lady didn't seem to telling a joke. What were so funny? were you mocking our great steins family? If you really did so, i must challenge you to a life and death duel! "With a blood red eyes, she stared at me.

I unconsciously gulped a mouthful of saliva. What the hell is going on? Why all of sudden i was challenged in a life and death duel battle? Why she has a water attributed attack type mana ring in her right hand?

You must know that, attack and defensive magic items are strictly forbidden by the government in all of the kingdom.

Not to mention that you can't own any type of magic item inside the school boundaries. Now she is openly using one in the classroom. I must get out of this quagmire immediately.

I Smiled respectfully and replied to her in pleading tone,

" Honorable young miss of the great Steins family, I think there is a slight misunderstandings.This lowly peasant will never dare even in his dream to mock the great Steins family."

After hearing Aetius sweet talks, Melana finally calmed down from her rage and asked solemnly,

"Then this miss wonder why you were suppressing your laughter during this esteem lady's small speech?"She firmly stared at me to judge my facial expression.

Calm down Aetius, you got this. I comforted my self and replied humbly,

" Young miss, I have a very peculiar habit since yesterday.I happen to suddenly laugh for no reasons. I will never dare to laugh at a beautiful young of the glorious Steins family! "I replied pitifully to her.

Reviewing my facial expression and my bullshits she nodded in affirmation.

Don't tell me this kind of illness really do exist!

" One of my distant relative also have this kind of problem. Looks like you are like him too! hmm, well this miss will go on her own way then. " Then she left the empty class leaving behind a drenched boy.

That was close.I am finally relived of my anxiety. I was sleeping peaceful in a class but i suddenly woke up and was challenged by a noble bitch for a life and death duel out of nowhere. What will be your expression will be like?

Also, She was wielding a very expensive magic prop in her hand as if an ordinary ring! That magic tool was definitely an attack type prop for sure. Not only that, it can even control its attack rang and power as its owners wish. If not i who is an ordinary mortal would have long since been dead for sure.

Attack and defence type items are not sold anywhere legally in this kingdom. Only noble family,high ranking officials and magis can have them normally. There are many auction house and illegal underground markets sold them to the mortal people in exchange for rare materials.

Luckily i kept my shit together and didn't panicked unknowingly. The way that hoe was looking me as if i was an suspected criminal by the police.

She can use a magic artefacts in the classroom as she pleased. If that were to be an ordinary mortal student she would have long since dead. She used an attack type prop but the principle didn't noticed? I Don't think so.

For your information, This schools principle is a rank one wizard of the sound path. An official magi could easily feel the mana fluctuations in his surroundings.

Even though he was an rank one magi, he didn't bother stoping that aristocrat girl from her magic item as she pleased.

Was that he was scared of the steins family? Maybe he is scared to offend a nobel family which has lots of connection throughout this kingdom. Not every nobles would dare to participate in the royal family succession turmoils. This family ones owned many time bigger citys than this colos city and not one or two's but many for thousands of years.Their accumulated wealth,connection, friends are myriad. Even though they fell to the bottom noble rank for the failure to success in the royal succession race, but the foundation was always there.No wonder, there are always a rumours that they are waiting for the next king selection as a means to rise again! Although they always denied this as a hoax and falls accusations against their family but these rumours always there to this day.Who knows how many magi they had ones they were a marquis family! a rank one magi would rather watch silently to not anger a family of this caliber. so may be he acted as if he didn't noticed!

whether he were really scared or he simply didn't care if a talentless mortal died it doesn't matter to me. The thing is that i have successfully avoided this crisis.

Thinking these miscellaneous thoughts, he came out of the classroom. He see that julie that may be trap was talking with Amon of our class in the school field.

Oh, i almost forgot to befriended with julie and learn more about snake cult!

I get closer to them i said,

"Hi, what's up!"

Both of them looked at me as if they are seeing a clown?

Oops, i forgot that i am wet from head to toe because of that melena!
