[Earlier that day...]
A few minutes before Acheron parted ways with William.
"William, can you do a favor?" Acheron asked politely, dragging his arm back and forth.
*Her idea of being polite.
"Yawn~ I’m so sleepy, what do you want, Sister Ache?" William finally gave her his attention.
"Can you co back to this sa spot in about... thirty minutes?"
"Ah! Sounds like stress!" William attempted to run away.
Swish...!
He dashed past the trees, running far away from the courtyard.
"Phew~ I think I lost her."
He stopped in his tracks and turned to face forward only to find Acheron waiting for him.
"Ah!!" With the shock of surprise, he attempted to run again, but this ti Acheron pinned him down.
"No, no, it’s not stressful... there are just so nobles who are trying to force my hand in marriage!"
"Your hand... in marriage?"
William’s expression changed.
Acheron knew William valued his family more than anything else. In the original writing, he did everything in his power to protect his father and younger sister, obeying his father’s every command without question.
As the Author, Acheron took advantage of that, knowing exactly how her brother would respond.
William raised himself up; Acheron was still on his shoulders, her upper body resting on his head.
"Where was that spot again?" His sleepy eyes beca more focused.
Acheron’s lips slowly widened, forming a cunning smile.

[Present Ti...]
William sat under the oak tree in the courtyard the whole ti. After a while, he saw nobles who matched Acheron’s description trying to burn the commoners’ building to the ground.
’Bullying the weak? Do they not have a shred of honor... anyways, it doesn’t matter...’ William thought as he shifted his hair from his face so he could see clearly.
"Be still... wither away."
The fire spell froze mid-air and dispersed into a million pieces, falling down like snow.
The nobles turned in his direction, trying to figure out who it was from afar.
"Hey, isn’t that one of the Anaxagoras brothers?" One of them pointed toward him.
"Yeah, why is he stopping our fun?"
"Beats ...Ack!"
Before any of them could say another word, they were frozen to the bone.
William walked up to their frozen bodies and lowered his head.
"If any of you even co near my sister again..." He pushed one of them, knowing if their frozen body falls, it will shatter to pieces without a single drop of blood to be accounted for.
’AHHH HELP !’ The noble who was falling scread in his thoughts, his expression pleading for rcy.
Snap.
With a snap of his fingers, William dispersed the ice from each of their bodies.
"Take that as your last and only warning."
"Yessir!" The scared nobles said in unison.
William bowed to apologize to the commoners’ professors and left for his class.
One of them, Pedro, clutched his chest, trying to recover his breathing.
’Damn it, if it wasn’t because of them orange haired cutie, we won’t have co out here... damn it!’
"Whi..ch...sis...ter..was he talking about?" Another one of them said, shivering.
"I don’t know, but at any rate, let’s get out of here!"
The nobles scrambled back into the main building.
Most of the commoner students’ jaws were dropped by the scene that played out in front of them.
Nieves straightened herself and sheathed her sword. She didn’t care whether William saved them or not. In her eyes, all nobles are the sa.
"Co on, love, let’s go."
Nieves turned towards the gate, walking alongside Vincent.
But just then she felt like she was being watched. She imdiately turned to look behind, from the grounds to all the windows of the main building.
"I could have sworn I—"
"Nieves, hurry up!"
She shook it off and left the academy.

[♛Acheron’s Pov...]
’Phew~ That was close...’ Acheron ducked back down below the window. ’I finally get to see my main character... she so pretty! >.
