About What?

Few days had passed since William and I entered the academy.

After my offer got rejected by Arthur, I decided to team up with the trio since William and Persia wanted to work as a duo. The trio happily accepted my offer as I was somehow got invited in a party.

"This calls for a celebration!" Darnom happily said with a smile. Is this how hardcore fans treat their idols if they successfully invited them? Now I somehow feel bad for the people who had been trying their hardest just to invite me to the casino... Wait, do I really have to feel sympathy about them?

"Hey, Athan! Come on, let's drink!" Xavier spoke, taking a wine bottle that was hiding below his bed. When I saw this, I sighed.

Coughing, I replied, "Aren't you guys twelve?"

Xavier, who was about to pour the wine from their cup, stopped and turned his head slightly in my direction. "It's not like they'll find out. These guys will not even tell a thing, right?" He said, nudging the shoulders of the two frozen idiots with a stiff smile.

"But I will." With my chin resting on my palm, I said so with a smile. "I'll be confiscating those, thank you." I slowly reached out my hands and took the wine from Xavier, who kept calling me "cruel" in the process.

In truth, I just wanted to drink this stuff on my own without anyone bothering me. I don't know how he even got this since alcohol was prohibited in the academy... I might as well ask him when we're done.

With that, I shook my head and silently stared at them with a smile. 𝘐 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘰 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭... I mumbled to myself internally. With that, our night celebrations continued without problems.

At morning. After taking a quick stretch, I went inside the bathroom and took a bath. When I finished, I put on my proper uniform and got out without forgetting to lock the door.

After arriving at my class...

"Why are you late!?" The professor who was in charge of today's class shouted at me with an angered expression. I tried to ignore him, but seeing him block the entrance, I grew more annoyed.

"I woke up late." With a slight tint of annoyance covering my voice, I replied. He just stood there in silence for a couple of seconds before raising his head, staring at me intently.

His eyes and mine had met. Without noticing it, the battle turned into a staring contest, which whoever win is the one who had the right to order the losers around.

"Is 'you waking up late' my fault." The professor said so exaggeratedly. It seems like he really wanted to turn me into an embarrassment for the whole class.

"Did I blame you?"

-𝘚𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦....

The whole class turned silence for a moment before bursting out in laugher.

The professor, who got 'reverse' in the situation he wanted me to have, grew large veins in his forehead.

Also, thanks to me saying that, I was later thrown to the principal's office.

The day progressed without any problems after 'that' professor's class finished.

After all Wednesday classes was over, I went down towards one of the Academy's Laboratory to meet up with someone.

"I'm here... Mina." With my arms crossed on my chest, I focused my attention towards the greenish haired girl who was wearing a lab coat.

She had an exquisitely green haired hair that was tied neatly in ponytail. Her emerald-like eyes shone brightly due to the lighting of the artifact at the corner.

"Huu... It's so damn hot in here."

Mina decided to take off her lab coat, revealing a more casual outfit. She stretched her arm out of her white tank top, flushed red from exertion. Slick with sweat, her clothes were taut around her body, hugging her curves and emphasizing her seductive waistline and... her chest. As she sat down on the seat drenched in sweat, her voluptuous form was more than enough to suggest that she was an adult—in sharp contrast to her childlike features.

"Oh right, drink that potion on the corner beside you." Said Mina, pointing her finger on my side. I took a quick glance to where she was pointing at, and when I do, my expression turned frown.

"I refuse." I refused her without showing signs of hesitation. Hearing this, she stuck out her tongue before giving me reply.

"Oh, come on... It's not like you're gonna drink the same potion I gave you." She said so, slightly gesturing her hands as if to dismiss my thoughts.

It was around a week ago when it happened. After I got called out by one of the students I hadn't met before, I was led to the lab where I was currently at today.

Like today, she ordered me to drink one of her crazy creation that almost made me regret my whole life.

"What the hell happened to my body?!!" I unconsciously raised my voice after I took a closer look at my body from the mirror.

I immediately grabbed my chest and my 'thing' down there. When I do, I grimaced.

"How the hell did I became a girl!?!" I turned my head to look at her, but...

"It seems like adding so much ingredients was not it either..." She sighed. I was about to grab her shoulder when the door suddenly busted open.

"Oh, Boss~! Where are yo-!!" When the trio saw me in my female form, they immediately got on their knees and took out ring from their pockets.

""Will you marry me, My Lady?"" The trio asked, except for Reymond who fixed his clothes properly while staying silent with a huge smug. It was because he was a silent person who rarely talk.

I don't know why they prepared a ring in the first place, but seeing them like this annoyed the heck out of me.

"You trio should stop!!" I said, giving them a strong kick in the abdomen. I probably didn't have to worry about them dying since after my body got transformed into girl, I noticed that my strength was greatly reduced.

"Atha--!?"

William who just came in the lab saw me. I don't know why, but somehow, blood came out of his nose like a pump, that made him fall unconscious down in the floor. He just had a massive nosebleed.

I turned my attention back to the girl behind my and clenched my fist tightly. "You'll probably return back to normal after fifteen-minutes." She said, making me stop from moving.

From that day on, I always got called out to help her with the 'experiment' in the laboratory.

Sighing, I took out some candies from my bag and playfully tried to give it to her.

"Brat, I'm older than you, so stop treating me like a child." She said, shoving my hand away from her mouth. 𝘚𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬... I thought.

But...

Looking at her childish and petite little body, almost everyone who look at her could have mistaken her for a child. I then decided to move a little closer.

𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘵.

Opening the wrapper of the candy I bought earlier, I carefully brought my hands towards her mouth. She was hesitance at first, but after a couple of seconds she accepted it.

"Still don't mistake for a child..." She bashfully said, munching on to the candy from her mouth before turning her head away in embarrassment.

With that, Mina stood up from her sit and made her way towards her handbag.

With my eyes focused towards her, I carefully began observing her next actions.

Smiling, I cracked my neck and turned around. "You're probably in your early-twenties, am I right?" Hearing this, she froze up. "From what I could see in your reactions, I'm probably correct. If I had to take a guess then I'll bet that you're 23."

In other words.... She's a God damn loli who was in her early-twenties.

With a shocked expression, Mina stared at me silently for a couple of seconds. "How... Don't tell me that you're into ladies like me." She gasped as if surprised.

I immediately denied her thoughts by saying, "No. I'm not a lolicon... Also, although you had that voluptuous form in your chest, I can't just imagine myself falling for a loli."

Better deny her thoughts before it grew more into misunderstanding.

"..."

"..."

It went silent for a couple of minutes.

With her attention back to the artifact she was playing with, she suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, yeah.... About the dungeon exploration you asked yesterday."

Hearing Mina say that, I turned my head to face her general direction. "What about the dungeon exploration?" I asked, slightly raising my brows while crossing my arms.

Her eyes did not leaved the artifact she was holding with. After a few seconds of silence, the artifact broke into pieces.

"The name of the dungeon is 'Shade'."
