32

Note: I didn't have time so I wrote a somewhat random chapter. Next time I believe I will go to Rias trying to invite members to her peerage.

——————————

Still on the way to school, the goddess asked without taking her vision off the road while driving.

"I forgot to ask. Merlin, have you send the papers needed to register at school?

"Of course I did, you think I'm that useless?"

[It's not about thinking, against concrete facts there are no arguments. But if we need some dick growing from anywhere we might ask you.] Apollyon's voice began to come from the dark metal bracelet on Anastasia's right wrist.

"Did you send it or not?" Ana repeated the question with a serious expression. "It will be problematic to start the registration process if the initial documentation has not even been sent."

[Just use magic on them. Make them think the idiot was already a student there.]

"The school was open only to girls, only recently it became a school for both genders."

[Manipulating everyone's memories solves the problem.]

"Manipulating memories, although easy, is morally wrong. And in addition, I would have to manipulate the memories of the students, their family members, the devils aware of the presence of the heiresses of Gremory and Sitri in Kuoh and the other factions aware of the same. Obviously it is not a viable alternative."

[Who cares for morality I bet they use memory manipulation magic on humans to solve any mess they create, so it is fare to use on them.]

"Still, it would be a lot of work to make it work."

[Stop lying fairy, I know you can create forbidden magic spells. Just create a mass manipulation memory spells or a mass sugestion to target the entire world. Oh and add the memory of me as the greatest dragon on the history, surpassing all including that so called True Dragon and that Dragon God.]

"Now I understand why you want me to create this spell."

[So ... ... ... ... ... ... are you going to do it?]

"NO WAY!"

The two began to argue openly, ignoring the white-haired boy who had a shocked look on his face as if he was gravely wronged by them.

"Hey! Wait a minute, mom, do you agree with Apollyon?" Merlin starts to cry seeing Anastasia's silence, but soon recovers, showing a mischievous smile. "Of course I send them."

"Emrys Ambrosius, What was written in the documents? The magic goddess gets worried seing that smile and asks with full seriousness.

"Oh, you know... some random numbers, fake high school transcripts, my name, a long letter attached stating how amazing I am, and my parents' names written on documents forged with my magic."

"What did you just say?" Anastasia looks at him in disbelief.

"The fake documents? Oh come on mom, they were going to find out that we are related one time or another. Unless you wanted them to think I'm having an affair with my teacher and I'm her sugar baby living in her house.

"No you idiot, I was referring to your name."

"What's the problem? Student documentation requires their name. I thought I was going to complain about the document being created by magic and they might notice." Merlin tilted his head innocently.

"Considering how much I trained you in magic, if some girls under 20 were able to detect your magic I would really consider you a completely unsalvageable case."

[Emphasis on completely, the fact of being unsalvageable is already established.]

"Apollyon, I thought we were best friends, partners in crime, an incredible duo..." Merlin starts talking nonsense with a sad expression.

But before the talking sword, now in the form of a bracelet, could respond, Merlin was interrupted by the voice of the woman who was driving the car.

"What name did you use in the document? You used your birth name, right?

"I would like to ask why is it so important that I used my original name?"

"I already showed a photo with you present to one of the devils and, as I already said before, I don't want the trouble of erasing everyone's memories with magic."

[Lazy fairy! Go on dick mage, show her your magic, I mean do your show, no it doesn't sound right... say your name.] Apollyon was happy knowing that the mischievous wizard was definitely going to cause trouble and that might be the oportunity to become legendary in everyone memories.

"Uhh, well... I didn't use Emrys as my name." Merlin scratches the back of his head feigning embarrassment.

"Please, tell me you at least used Myrddin."

[Who really is this M guy?]

"Myrddin is another name this idiot used in the past. Don't you remember his stupid idea of ruining his own reputation as Merlin to make his reputation as Myrddin look wiser and nobler?"

[Ohh, great duality. On one side a scumbag and on the other an honorable wizard.]

"It was a great strategy for seducing girls." Merlin tries to argue in his own defense.

[I remember your seduction trick... first go as a playboy to charm young ladies, if fail then go as a mature older man.]

"It was funny, but it but it always exposes girls with daddy issues or who are attracted to red flags womanizers." Merlin smiles in nostalgia.

"It's not like you ever complained." Ana commented looking at the boy who was proud of his past.

"Come on, don't judge me. Even Zeus used my stategy, that old geezer was so lazy that he even used Myrddin's name as well."

[Hey, Merlin, what did you used to say to annoy anyone who fell for the trick?]

"If they slept with me when I looked older, in the morning I would return to my normal form and say: Ohhh... You thought it was someone else, but it was me... Merlin." Merlin poses like a villain.

"And that's how he ruined his own reputation around the supernatural world, even though he was the creator of a new magic system."

"It wasn't that bad. Everyone still respect me as the creator of human's magic system." Merlin spoke trying to brush the focus aside.

"Not bad? People felt sorry for Myrddir because his reputation was tarnished by a stupid wizard and at the same time they despised Merlin for his actions that were not compatible with the status of a great wizard."

[You are one of the few who managed to be respected and hated by your people while using different identities. Like mother like son.]

"Wait, mom, did you do that too?" Merlin eyes shine with the new information.

[Nope, she was even worst. She was the legendary savior of the fairies guiding then to freedom against stronger species in our world, but centuries later she reemerged with her former name and became the tyrant queen of her race to supress her enemies.]

"Hey if you talk like that I'll blush." Ana replied the old story with a mocking tone.

"I would love to see it." Merlin says.

"You'll have to be content with not seeing it. But you used Myrddin, right?"

"Not at all, I went with the name Merlin Ambrosius!" Merlin speaks excitedly but he shudders as he feels a murderous intention coming from his side.

'Oh my old friend, bless me with patience. Well you are dead, so at least send good vibes with your soul.' Ana repeated mentally but soon she had a strange smile on her face that made Merlin shudders.

"Hey Merlin~, you will be very useful."

"How?"

"Since you are Merlin Ambrosius, then they will think I am just another random magician while you are the reincarnation of the Magus of Flowers."

"No problem mom. I'm going to take this for the team and distract all these devils, even if I have to take some to bed." Merlin gives a military salute.

"Good, now lets go inside."

Then they both went to the student council room, before first class, where they met Sona Sitri and some other council members.

"Good morning, Souna. This is the new student that came to register himself."

"Sensei, you didn't need to bring him in personally."

"Yes I did." Anastasia signals the wizard to hand over the rest of the documentation.

When she reads the name written on the documents, Sona becomes serious.

"Ambrosius-san, welcome to Kuoh Academy." The devil pulls out a paper from her desk. "Here is your schedule, you are enrolled in the third year."

"Thank you beauty... I mean beautiful president." Merlin graciously accepts the schedule.

Anastasia and Merlin leave the room together while being intensely watched by the student council president.

"What's the problem president? Have you ever fallen in love and can't take your eyes off me?" Merlin smirks.

Sona blushes a little when her attention is caught. And before he could respond, a crimson-haired woman entered the room, smiling.

"Good morning sensei and Sona." Rias speaks directly to the two and observes the new boy. "Who would be the new student?"

Merlin approaches and takes her right hand, kissing it as a greeting.

"My name is Merlin Ambrosius and the pleasure is all yours, beautiful lady."

"My name is Rias Gremory. Nice to meet you, Ambrosius-san." Rias responds to the introduction with a constant smile on her face since she heard his name.

"Ah, just Merlin is enough."

"Ok Merlin-san. Looks like sensei will take you to a tour before class, so I shall not interrupt you two." Rias speaks, clearly trying to empty the room to achieve her original objective.

With that Anastasia and Merlin left the room leaving the two devils alone.

"What was 'the pleasure is all yours'?" Anastasia looked disapprovingly.

"It's my charm and the expression on her facial expression proved her pleasure."

"She just wants to put you in her peerage."

"And? It's not like she have any real chance." The magus of flowers shrugs.

After a few minutes the bell rang and it was time to go to the room. When they reached the door, they both stopped.

"Merlin, don't cause trouble in class." Anastasia said to Merlin as they reached the door.

"Relax. When have I ever caused problems? I always solve them."

"Yeah, you always resolves the ones you started or manipulated someone else into causing them."

"I'll be on my best behavior for today."

Inside the third year classroom, the students are faced with two figures emerging from the door. The first is already known, she is the teacher, and the second is a boy whose hair color resembles the teacher's.

"Good morning, class."

"Good morning, sensei."

"Today we will welcome the new student who came to join our class. Could you do the honors?" She signals him to begin.

"Hello everyone, my name is Merlin Ambrosius. I like the legacies of humanity, playing pranks and teasing both genders. What I don't like... well I believe long and boring trips. My goal is to have fun and annoy... I mean bring a little chaos to my mother."

"Would you like to ask him any questions?" Anastasia turned to the class.

"What are you referring to as legacies of humanity?" Sona questioned.

"I'm a fan of history, so that's why I like studying it."

"Any specific topic?" Sona keeps pushing the topic.

"Of course I have."

Noticing that he wasn't going to continue his answer, the girl tried again.

"And what would be?"

"It is none of your business." When Merlin finishes speaking he notices Sona's irritation and the air of discomfort in the room. "Come on guys, it was just a joke. My favorite part is British history and the Arthurian myths."

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Asks a random girl in the class.

"No, I've only had one girlfriend in my entire life."

"How faithful, but didn't you just said that you enjoy teasing both genders, Ambrosius-san?" Akeno asked.

"Who said I need to date someone to tease them?"

"Ara ara~ so naughty." Akeno responds with a smile as she rests her face in the palm of her hand.

"Did you talk about your mother? Who is she?" Rias asked with a smile.

Merlin walked over and hugged the teacher from behind, shocking some students. "My mother is sensei Anastasia Ambrosius."

"Guys, I think the introduction was enough. Merlin sits down in some empty chair. We will continue with the class."

The class continued normally until a student appeared at the classroom door.

"Hello, what do you need?" Anastasia asked with a smile.

"I would like to call President Sona. We need it to solve some problems."

"Sensei, I need to leave now." Sona noticed the look on one of her peerage members and acted immediately.

"Why?" Anastasia asked innocently, even though she had already sensed the presence of some fallen angels nearby.

"Some of the student council activities need to be fixed urgently."

"Does it have to be right now?"

"Yes. It involves some paperwork that should have been analyzed."

"It's okay, Souna-san. Remember to retrieve the class content with your colleagues' notes."

"Okay, sensei." Sona leaves

"Sensei, I also have to leave and Akeno must come with me." Rias after a few minutes since Sona asked to leave she decided to do the same to solve her personal problems.

"Sorry Gremory-san, but you're not going anywhere neither will Himejima-san." Anastasia responded effortlessly, continuing the class.

"But Sona just left the class." Rias she asked indignantly and confused, even forgetting to use her childhood friend's pseudonym.

"She is the student council president and had important reasons for asking to leave. How about you?"

"I'm also the president of my club." Rias commented confidently.

"The Occult Research Club? What is the use of the club academically?" Anastasia questioned.

"It is certainly important. They can drive out the ghosts that haunt the old building." Merlin says in a playful tone, generating laughter from some students in the room.

Rias didn't know how to respond and remained silent until the end of class.
