Chapter 118

'Why do I suddenly feel like this? My heart hurt and I feel like crying for some reason...I never met him before and I never see him in 'Shia' memories or the dream about 'Renneshia' but why do I feel so nostalgic?' Ludger thought as Edgar held his hand.

"Can you release my hand, Ed?" Ludger asks as he looks at Edgar's hand.

"Huh, oh! I-I'm sorry! I reflexively hold your hand like that. Have we met somewhere before?" Edgar was flustered and asked a question. 

"Oh my gosh, Ed! Why are you asking such a question to 'Lord Ludger'?! Oh no, I never thought that you wanted to be my rival of love to get 'Lord Ludger' true love. I never thought that you had such a preference but I could understand because we are talking about a beautiful person like 'Lord Ludger', ufufu..." Leona suddenly said something that they could not understand. 

"Hey, that's not like that! Stop turning it into such a weird story!" Edgar tries to stop Leona from continuing to talk about it.

"Mmm, that...I'm sorry about my friend's weird behaviour...I don't know what should I say about them." Rainold said with an embarrassed expression as he looked at his friends.

"Do you forget that I also became their friend yesterday? So, should we stop them from embarrassing us?" Ludger smiles at Rainold and points at the two of them.

"You are right, Ludy! We need to stop them before they do something more embarrassing later." Rainold nodded his head with a smile.

It was because he never thought that Ludger would accept them to be his friends. But Rainold also thought that even if Ludger did not accept them as a friend, he could try harder to get closer to him because he could feel there were some similarities between Ludger and Edgar's behaviour. Maybe this is also the reason that Edgar has an interest in Ludger. Even though Edgar is a person who never wants to get close to others except for Leona and Rainold.

As they want to stop the two of them, someone comes closer and hugs Ludger from behind. 

"Lil Ludger, what are you doing?" Elviira asked while hugging him like a doll.

"Sister Elviira and Sister Alvera, it was rare for you to come to the first training room that was used for training the apprentice. What are you doing here?" Ludger asks asked he didn't struggle with Elviira's hugs because he was used to it.

The arrival of the twins stops the two of them and even makes them widen their eyes because they are surprised that Elviira is hugging Ludger like that. The same for Rainold who was surprised and didn't know what to do because it was the first time for him to see such a situation. As they was stunned because of such a scene, other apprentice came and entered the training room as they ignored them or some fans admired Ludger's beautiful face like always. 

"Ludy, did you not feel embarrassed to be treated like that by that Lady?" Rainold decided to ask.

"Huh?! Oh right! Can you let me go because I will attend today's class, Sister Elviira?" Ludger just realizes his current situation and asks Elviira to let him go.

'Oops! Being used to something is really dangerous! Although most people are used to how Sister Elviira treated me, but it was not like that for the outsiders like the three of them.' Ludger thought as he saw his new friends making a jaw-drop expression when they saw his reaction.

"Don't worry. Vera will be the teacher. So let me recharge my energy by hugging you like this. I really miss this smell." Elviira said as she hugged and started touching Ludger's head and caressing it.

For most people in this city, they have gotten used try to how Elviira always treated Ludger every time they met. Elviira always said that she did it to regain her power and that everyone thought it was just a reason that she made to treat him like that. But it was actually half true because the magic around Ludger is actually quite dense but it couldn't be sensed by other people. Only Elviira who has special eyes able to see it so no one knows except Elviira. Besides most people feel healed from looking at their interactions so they let them and only admire the scene.

"T-That...How envious...ahem...I mean how embarrassing to do something like that in a public place like this!" Leona said with a red face and rough breath.

"I-I...No, that's not like what she said!... But why do I feel like this? Something is wrong with me!" Edgar mutters something with a troubled face.

"That's strange, with his ability, Ludy should be able to free himself from her..." Rainold feels confused because Ludger didn't do anything to free himself. 

"Hmm, Ludy??! Are they were talking about you?" Elviira asked as she used her finger to poke at Ludger's cheek. 

"Oh right, I haven't told you that we became friends yesterday and they made that nickname. Do you want me to introduce you too?" Ludger explained and asked as he turned his head to look at Elviira's face.

"That's good for you! Can big sister also call you Ludy?" Elviira said with a rare smile blooming on her beautiful face and stunning the people in that room.

"Un, like I always said you can do it as long as you are happy to do it, Sister Elviira." Ludger answers her question with a smile.

"Huh!?! This scenery is really unexpected! Is this the reason that the other only watched them without saying anything?" Leona mutters something in a small voice.

"Why was my heart beating so fast when I saw him smile like this?... No, I already have someone I love...This really driving me nuts!" Edgar mutters something while having a painful expression.

"That's right! They say that Ludy is a gentleman so he always treats females respectfully. That sounds like the knight's conduct that my father told me about before...Could it be, that Ludy was from the knight family?!" Rainold unconsciously said out loud what he was thinking.

"Hey, hey! Could you not disturb the class, Viira? Why do you keep ignoring me like this when I was the teacher for today's class? And let 'Lord Ludger' go so he could concentrate on the class, Viira! Don't make me envy you even though you are my twin sister, I also want to hug him like that... Damn!" Alvera starts to pour his dissatisfaction as Elviira hug Ludger tightly as if she doesn't want to let him go.

In the end, Ludger attends the class with Elviira who sticks close to him like a koala. But after few minutes after the class started, someone came to the room and called Ludger to follow him to the meeting room. 

'Finally, they arrive. I have been waiting for it. Then who should I choose someone from the fans to make them regret making such a plan.' Ludger thought as he thought about what kind of trouble he would cause to them later.

"Uh, Sister Elviira, could you release me? I need to go to the meeting because the other guild masters are waiting." Ludger asks her because she still holds him tightly.

"Are they making a problem for you?" Elviira asked with a worried face.

"It's just something related to the Winter tournament. They want me to join their guild or do something for their guild if they win the tournament. They seem to pressure Mr. Hudson to accept it but how could they do that without asking my permission, right?" Ludger told her the reason.

Whoosh.

Tssss.

An intimidating magic power seems to create turbulence in Elviira's surroundings but strangely it didn't hurt anyone. But the others feel afraid because of how much pressure she causes as they start trembling in fear. Maybe because it was too rare to see her this angry, everyone in that room felt really surprised and afraid. 

"Sister Elviira, don't be angry. I will scold them and try to stop them if possible..." Ludger tried to calm Elviira but he was stopped by her before finished his sentence. 

"I will follow you to the meeting room. I will join the meeting as the vice leader of the Ludger Fan Club! I won't let them do something that will make you unable to meet with me. Let's go." Elviira said and dragged Ludger in her embrace.

"Wait! Wait, Sister Elviira! Please don't hold me like this!" Ludger tried to struggle but he couldn't break free as Elviira used her magic beside Ludger didn't want to use his power.

"Haa, how troublesome! Elviira, as the leader and creator of the Ludger Fan Club, I give you full power to help him and to speak as our representative in that meeting. Remember that your words should always represent the Fan Club spirit!" Alvera said with a loud voice.

Elviira didn't answer her but she seemed to hear it as her footsteps became lighter. But after the students hear that, some of them become excited when they realize Alvera's position as one of the leaders of the largest group in this city. Only the high-rank members know about it and they never talk about the leader because they are more interested in talking about Ludger and everything that relates to him.

"Leader! Can I also join the 'Lord Ludger' Fan Club? Why didn't I hear about such a fan club earlier? I feel a bit sad because I just know about it now." Leona excitedly said before she felt sad and regretted not coming to this city earlier. 

"Don't worry because you can catch up when you join us." Alvera said with a smile.

The other (Edgar and Rainold included) was watching the fan's interaction with a speechless expression.
