Isabella Whiteheart was a personal favourite of mine back when I first started reading the novel, she was always there for the other main characters and was soone who believed in always protecting the weak, her kindness was what originally made her want to beco a teacher so that she could help shape the future of the empire.
Maybe because of my upbringing, seeing soone give such unconditional love made develop great fondness for her, though telling her that I love her outright might have been a bit too much.
’ She must be in a state of panic right now ’ I thought barely holding back a laugh
Over the course of her life Isabella had a huge number of admirers and why wouldn’t she be she is a beauty, has a good background and is a genius who reached the A rank by the age of 26. Yet even with all her admirers not one has thought of getting close to her and the reason was none other than her very overprotective father.
’ If any of you think you are worthy of my daughter then you better be ready to prove yourselves to at the whiteheart arena’ is what he said
Of course, no one was bold enough to try and fight an SS ranker just to get close to his daughter and so Isabella never once got a confession.
’ Until 5 minutes ago ’
To tell you the truth many would probably call crazy for telling soone I just t today that I loved them, however what I said back then was the truth, the second I saw her I fell helplessly and ended confessing to her suddenly.
Finally returning to the dorm I opened the door
’ Well, I’ll just have tomorrows deal with it ’
.....
Waking up early I finished my morning paperwork sending them back to the estate before finally going to my classroom. As I walked, I could feel the curious gazes from all around but keeping a straight face, I entered my classroom first and took the very front seat that I sat in yesterday.
As ti went by the other students started trickling in one by one, soon all of the students had arrived including the main characters.
Looking at them I could see how the students who either got to know each other either yesterday or had already been acquainted from before started forming groups and cliques around the main 6.
’ That doesn’t concern though ’
Yes, that was what I thought, until one of the said groups started walking towards .
Staring at them I saw the leader of the group moving towards with his hands in his pockets and an arrogant smirk plastered on his face. With light green hair and an annoyingly handso face Elric Ghostbloom made his way to .
’ He was the typical protagonists rival who even though lost the first place to Jake continuously looked down upon him and bullied those around ’
It didn’t take a genius to know why he was here; The fact that I could still use my title while he can’t seems to have rubbed him the wrong way.
From the corner of my eye, I could see Jake about to stand up but there was no need, he finally answered
" Yes, what is it "
From the communication crystal I pulled out a voice ca out that caused everyone to freeze upon hearing it especially Elric whose eyes shook as he stared at
Bringing the crystal closer to I finally replied
" Goodmorning Duke Ghostbloom, I apologize for the sudden call however I wished to inform you that the supplies you had needed had been all prepared this morning and should arrive to you in the following week "
" That is great news, House Ghostbloom won’t forget this favour "
" No need for such things, I am just happy to help "
" Still if you need anything just make a call "
" I will keep that in mind "
Exchanging a few more pleasantries I hung up after the duke said he had so work to do, turning back to look at Elric, I could see him completely still his eyes listless.
However, before I could say anything the door opened revealing Isabella who has just arrived. Seeing the state of the class she stopped before giving out orders.
" What are you all doing, get back to your seats the first period is about to start "
Hearing her the students finally snapped of their daze and started moving towards their seats though I could feel Elric’s dumfounded gaze still upon .
Having all reached their seats Isabella went on to pull out a paper before looking at the students, well most of them at least seeing how she is actively avoiding looking at my direction.
" As of today, up until the end of the year all of you here will be divided into pairs and will be working together in the upcoming practical training and all of your future practical’s, this division has been made based of your entrance ranks and cannot be changed so I do not want to hear of any complaints "
Saying so Isabella started reading out the list of pairs
In the novel it was stated that the academy’s reason for dividing the students into a forced group of pairs was to create a sense of co-dependency between the similarly ranked students as so that they would strive to grow stronger together.
’ It was more of a plot device to give Jake and Elizabeth more ti together if we are being honest though ’
That being said that wasn’t its only part in the story, after all it was here that the original Nicholos started getting entangled with the 5 ducal families
" And finally ... Sir Nicholos Arcane and Christine Vorago " Isabella said bringing back from my thoughts.
" For now, how about everyone sit together with their partner so that you could get to know each other before the practical training " Isabella suggested
Taking her advice the students started moving towards each other, except for Jake and Elizabeth who were already besides each other but just as I was watching the other students, I felt a presence beside .
" Ex...excuse ...
The teacher.... she said... that um ... that we are together
Mr... No ... Sir Nicholos"
Turning my head towards the voice, I saw an enchanting young lady with blue hair and green eyes her head bowed down with trembling legs, the only one who was on the sa level of the original Nicholos.
The sha of the Vorago Ducal family, Christine Vorago
’ The original Nichilos treated her horribly taking advantage of her timid nature ’
" You don’t have to be so nervous " I said trying to calm her down " I can’t keep you standing so please take a seat "
" Yes yes ... thank you very much " saying so she scurried to my side
Seeing her so jumpy and scared I couldn’t help but feel bad rembering her past in the novel. Having been born into the Vorago household she was trained relentlessly from a young age and had multiple elixirs and pills taken however for so reason she couldn’t grow stronger it led to multiple beating under the guise of discipline while there were no lasting scars physically, ntally that couldn’t be farther than the truth.
It would take so ti however with the help of the main characters she would eventually overco her trauma and unlock her potential, but the thing is I am planning to help her from now on instead, not because it is important to increase her strength or to unlock so hidden treasure, it is simply a matter of principle.
’ Right now, a crying child is in front , helping her is my duty as an adult ’
That is all there is to it.
