Chapter 8 - Entrance ceremony

Inside the auditorium at the Astral Academy.

As the first year students from both the mage and knight departments slowly made their way into the auditorium.

Slowly filling the seats of the massive auditorium.

Isolde sat alone in the front seats reserved for the professors.

Even though she had an indifferent face, deep within she was filled with worry and expectations.

'It's already been a month. How has he been?..'

'sigh~, but he must really be trying hard. I haven't heard any news of him causing any trouble after the day we parted.'

'I heard he spent all his time either in the training building or in the library at the estate.'

'But no matter how hard he tries... it's impossible after all...'

'But as long as he is willing to change... Even if he is humiliated after trying so hard, I will still stand by his side from now on.'

Isolde strengthened her resolve to keep her promise.

'As long as he continues to change and as long as he confesses after getting expelled I will definitely fullfill my duty as his future wife.'

"Kyaaa..."

"W-who is that?.."

"So handsome!"

"Is that a professor"

A sudden shout rang in the auditorium, following with murmurs of the students.

All gazes were on the man that had just entered.

Isolde followed the gazes and saw a handsome man.

A man dressed in all black, with jet black hair and eyes, walking towards her in a manner that seemed to be filled with dignity and pride befitting a noble. None other than her fiancee.

He stood infront of her and spoke in a refined and gentle manner.

"Good morning, lady Isolde."

He slightly bowed his head.

Isolde was stunned for a second but she quickly recovered.

"Ah..good morning..."

She said while bowing her head back to him.

"You..have changed quite a bit."

Lucien sat next to her, looked into her eyes and said with a slight mischievous smile on his face.

"Hehe..I have gotten more handsome, right?"

"...Yes.."

She said in a indifferent voice and then proceeded to look at the empty stage infront of her.

'I didn't expect her to affirm, but I guess she doesn't really seem to care, look at that indifferent face...'

Lucien looked at her face and seemed to notice something.

Her ears...they were slightly red.

"..."

Isolde looked back at Lucien and said.

"About the prom-..."

Just as she was about to say something.

*Ding-ding*

*Ding-ding*

'Ah..i was just about to say that I will fullfill my promise and try my best to support him...'

Bells rang and the auditorium went quiet.

Everyone looked at the figure that appeared out of nowhere at the stage.

A old man with long grey hair, Dressed in white robes with golden linings.

Archmage Merlin.

The headmaster of the academy. He looked at me and our gaze met for a few secs then he looked away and began to speak.

"Ahem.."

"Welcome students"

"You should know who i am..blah blah blah"

he continued to give a boring speech while everyone clapped everytime he finished speaking.

I spoke to Isolde next to me.

"What were you saying just now?"

"No.. it's nothing..just thank you for... trying to change.."

I smiled brightly at her.

'Even with a stone-cold face she still has a warm heart doesn't she?..just as shown in the game...She's grateful even after all that was done by the original Lucien' sigh~'

"..Thank you, For giving me this chance Isolde"

Lucien said in a soft voice with eyes filled with gratitude.

"I-its nothing.."

She said quickly turning away.

'He really has changed hasn't he?..It looks like he even quit drinking..I guess it's for the best..I too will try my best to support him from now on,...even if I know he will fail inevitably and be expelled.'

While Isolde was lost in her thoughts.

Lucien turned his head towards the stage and looked at the woman standing behind the headmaster.

A beautiful mature women, with long silky black hair reaching her waist. And sharp crimson red eyes that seemed to enchant anyone who gazes at them. With big breasts and a very tall and alluring figure. Standing there with a calm and mature smile.

'She really is a beutiful, on the same level as Isolde..no even more beutiful.'

'She is really tall about 178cm only about half a head shorter than me...But she's not a supporting...'

'Adeline van nightbourne'

'A major villain in the later part'

'She's the head professor, and also the head of the family of house of nightbourne, A marquis.'

'She's the lone Survivor of the main family of the nightbourne's, Where as the rest of them were killed by a terrorist attack or rather that's what the world thinks...'

'She killed them...every member of the main family'

'She later joins the Eclipse after being hunted down for her crimes'

'She was strong...very strong, even now before joining the Eclipse she's one of the strongest at the academy just below the Archmage Merlin'

'Ah...'

Adeline as if feeling his intense gaze looked towards him.

Their eyes met and she offered a calm smile and nodded as if greeting me.

I nodded back.

'It's all an act, the mature look and how she behaves, everythings an act.'

Just then the Archmage finishing his speech said.

"Then that's it from me, I will let the student council president explain everything rest the students need to know now."

He looked at me again before completly disappearing from the stage.

*Step*

*Step*

A girls wearing the students uniform with two silver strips climbed the stairs. The student council's president.

A beutiful girl with golden hair reaching her waist, Golden hair the symbol of the imperial family. With Heterochromic eyes her right eye the same golden colour as her hair and her left eye as if containing the ocean, Beutiful Azure colour. About 172cm tall with a alluring figure.

'Aurelia ex Valerion'

'The youngest and the only daughter of the Emperor'

'A well-loved supporting character, And My favourite character in the entire game.'

'Even though she's only In the second year she still became the student council president even beating that evil bastard Lucas, her 2nd eldest brother a 3rd year student'

'She really looks so beautiful, explaining the details, it looked like a golden halo was surrounding her, a natural leader born to lead. She will later become the empress, Even after being a woman and fighting for the throne with her two evil brothers, she still won after facing many difficulties.'

'She never gave up, that's why she's my favourite character.'

The entrance ceremony came to an end just like that.

I said goodbye to Isolde and headed towards my office. I arranged all the belongings I brought with me in the office and headed towards the magic departments building.

Heading towards the classroom where I will be teaching the first year students from now on, as their classroom teacher.
