"Understood." Lith nodded his head upon hearing Emilia's words.
'Thankfully, things haven't escalated too much. I should keep my shamelessness in check. I would've gotten yelled at already but thankfully, she wasn't bothered much by it.
The forums were right. Flirting with angels in the first meeting is a bad idea. I shouldn't have questioned it. Anywho, what's done is done.'
"You can leave if there's nothing else to talk about, student Lith." Emilia said in a neutral tone once again.
Lith nodded his head and got up. "Have a good day, Miss Emilia." Lith said as he left the principal's office.
Emilia slumped back on the chair after Lith left and muttered to herself,
"Was I too harsh when I said those things? Could things be done more politely? But, had I not stopped him from talking about useless things, he would've wasted his own time.
Though time doesn't matter much to me, it does for him. He should be busy cultivating to raise his magic rank and not waste his time here. He's wasted enough time already strolling around. Oh shoot, I forgot to tell him to not roam around and go study.
Oh no Emilia, you were so rude a few minutes ago but you forgot to mention that one important thing. Tch. Now he would think that the principal is rude and probably would not come to me for help. Ahh, why did I do that?"
Emilia was watching Lith from the time he arrived on the top floor, and she could guess that he was just strolling around. She tried her best to act professionally when Lith arrived in the office room.
She put on a tough and busy lady act in front of Lith in order for him to picture her that way and not waste too much time with her. However, she unintentionally depicted a negative image of herself in front of Lith. This was what she thought she did and was currently regretting her actions.
Oblivious to her thoughts, the person in mention, Lith, was strolling out in the corridor once again, thinking,
'I didn't mess up too much. My relationship with the principal isn't that bad currently. I may have disturbed her doing work and so she tried to shoo me away, I guess. Anywho, the principal seems nice, even though a bit strict.
She also looks pretty gorgeous. Hmm, a potential harem member? Wait what? Wait, wait, wait. Why did I have such a thought? I already have two loving ladies and one another whom I am trying to date. I shouldn't bite more than I can chew.
But… the principal seems so gorgeous. Alright, nevermind. We'll see about this later. Managing a harem won't be easy. I'll take it slow. I don't have anything on me currently to keep the ladies happy. I need to work hard if I want a harem.'
While in his thoughts, Lith walked out of the main building of the academy after a few minutes. Dennis was held back and having nothing to do, he walked towards the park present on the sky island.
He sat on a bench in the park and rested there for a while. He was waiting for Dennis to finish his test and meet him here. They would then leave for their dorm after he arrived. Ralph was grounded for a week. He wasn't allowed to go out and thus, Lith and Dennis decided to not hangout for a few days in the park. They didn't want to leave their friend alone.
Lith took out his phone and started surfing the internet to pass time.
...
A dorm far away from the main building of the Abalax World Academy.
"Just where the fuck is that guy!?" Liam, the black-haired, blue-eyed teen, cursed. Pacing back and forth in his room, frustration was visible on his face.
"I want to go out and do a mission and this damn vice principal hasn't arrived yet. Just where the fuck is he?" Liam said.
He took out his phone and dialed the vice principal's number. A few seconds passed, but the call didn't connect. Liam cut the call and tried again. A few seconds later,
Ding!
Someone rang his dorm's bell. Liam walked to get the door and opened it. He saw a tall and lean, black-haired, brown-eyed man who was none other than the vice principal of the academy, Eric himself in a gray business suit. The man he was waiting for had finally arrived.
However, something was off. He saw that the sleeves of Eric's shirt were dangling down, as if it contained nothing in them. Looking carefully, he saw that Eric was missing both his arms. He looked at the man in his eyes and before he could ask or say anything, the man said,
"Don't ask about things you aren't supposed to. Take this token and activate it. You'll be teleported in and out of the academy. Don't come looking for me again."
As Eric finished speaking, a small gray disc levitated out of his pant's pocket and came in front of Liam's face. Liam held the token in his hand and nodded. He said to Eric,
"Understood, Vice Principal Eric."
Eric nodded back and left the dorm.
Liam got back into his room and sat on his bed. He muttered to himself as he looked at the token in his hand,
"Why was he missing two arms?"
Trying to think of a reason for it and not coming up with one, Liam put the thoughts aside and got up from his bed and muttered,
"Fuck it. No point in thinking about it. It's not like I am gonna get any benefit from thinking about it. It's good that the bastard has two less arms. He must've offended someone he wasn't supposed to or messed something up. Serves you right for being so late."
He then walked towards his closet and changed into his casual outfit and vanished from the room after sending a little of his spiritual energy into the token in his hand.
