"It's a pleasure to meet you, miss."

I greeted Sabrina's mother, who was a gorgeous beauty if I say so myself.

"The Pleasure is all mine to meet the First Spatial Awakened."

She answered warmly.

"Haha."

I chuckled whilst greeting the others.

Jonathan Reinhardt, and his daughter Emily Reinhardt.

"Nice to see you."

"It's my pleasure."

And then, I felt something jump on my head.

Something light, and alive.

I reached over and grabbed whatever it was by the nape.

"Meow~"

And I was greeted by a kitten with purple eyes and a purple gem on its forehead.

'Ah, this should be the Darkclaw.'

I thought as I observed Sabrina's spirit.

...oh shit I completely forgot about her the moment I saw her mother.

And then the kitten was snatched from my hands.

"Don't hold her like that!"

Sabrina, appearing quite irritated snatched the kitten and began to pet it gently.

"You shouldn't pick up cats like that."

"Hey, I didnt tell it to jump on my head."

I replied to her, whilst the kitten jumped on my shoulders this time.

"Now it acts Friendly?!"

Emily cried from the back, whilst I was wondering if this was because I was a dragon.

Dragons are loved by all spirits.

Most of them anyway.

"Hey, Get off."

But I don't necessarily like cats, especially clingy ones.

I tried to shake it off gently, but it didn't budge.

Damn, if I use too much strength, I might kill this little guy.

...this is a problem.

And before I knew it, the thing jumped on my head again and rested there.

"..."

I sighed as I looked at the damn thing, while the others laughed.

"It seems to like you very much."

Sabrina's mother said, and Jonathon joined in.

"So spirits can like others as well as their masters."

And then Emily.

"How envious."

Envious?

get this thing off me.

I wrestled with the cat, as it tried to dig its nails into my head to stay rooted.

The others, except Sabrina, Just enjoyed it.

Sabrina however summoned the creature and summoned it again, and held it tightly in her arms.

The cat finally calmed down.

And I sighed in relief.

I then immediately got down to business.

"My apologies Miss, I haven't been doing my duty for quite a while due to some unforeseen circumstances.

"What do you mean?"

"I've been neglecting my bodyguard duties for quite a while."

I answered her while appearing as sorry as possible.

She stayed silent for a while, and then answered me.

"I didnt know you were absent from your duties."

Her response somewhat shocked me.

Well, Sabrina didnt tell her family about this.

Huh.

Surprising.

"You should apologize to your client for that."

I heard her, and then simply gave a simple sorry to Sabrina.

"Sorry."

"..."



BEst

She remained silent at my response, yet why do I feel like she is agitated?

"Alan Peccator, I'd like to ask you something."

I heard my name being spoken by Jonathan Reinhardt, and then paid close attention to his next words.

"About your latest spatial rings, how many can you supply to the association, we are willing to pay extra."

Oh, so it's about the rings.

I handed him Maxwell's card and spoke.

"For anything related to the spatial equipment, please contact this number."

All deals related to the rings go to Max, he's the seller, im the supplier.



And he's better at it than me too.

"Thank you..."

Jonathan seemed disappointed that he only got this far.

Trying to take advantage of me isn't a good tactic.

Many people in high society have Maxwell's Number because of the spatial rings.

He's damn good at selling and pissing off a lot of people.

"How does your mana work anyway?"

And then, Emily Reinhardt asked me a question, to which I just didnt have an answer.

Since im a dragon, I can just control my mana easily with my thoughts.

But I still had to come up with something.

So I just told her random things I learned about mana control, and how I applied(don't actually) in my spatial mana.

And this small talk of mine continues for quite a while.

Until I ended up in a situation entirely else.

***

"Why were you out of campus for so long?"

As I leaned against the wall, I heard Sabrina ask me a question.

"Well, I had lots of things to do."

"What kind of things?"

"Related to my guild."

'And also killing myself nearly.'

I thought as I didnt tell her anything about dungeon raiding and the fight with Kazikato that destroyed an island and Something that has caused an Uproar in the eastern world.

A majority of the big shots of the east didnt come here because of that.

They all think that extremely powerful artifacts have appeared or that the demons had done something.

I wonder what their reaction would be when they find out it was just a fight between me and Kazikato.

"During the time you were gone, your soul crystal cracked."

And then I paused.

What?

My soul crystal cracked?

"At the same time, the pillars of White and Black emerged in the east, and your soul crystal cracked."

...

...

...

I was at a loss for words.

"What exactly were you doing?"

I remained quiet, and then later realized I shouldn't have.

Staying quiet had just made me even more suspicious.

"Your Unique pure white mana color, the change in stature, and the face in such a short amount of time.

It's suspicious."

Shit.

How am I supposed to know my soul crystal cracked?

Did that fight impact me that much?

"I was experimenting on something."

I answered her, trying to remain as nonchalant as I could.

Alexa Wellington, Jonathan Reinhardt, and Emily Reinhardt have gone off somewhere.

Leaving me and her here alone in this section of the party.

"I don't care what you are doing, I just want you to do your job."

"..."

"Thankfully, the guy I was worried about didnt come here today because of my uncle."

I have been ignoring my job, quite a lot.

Not paying attention to my job...just felt so wrong damn it.

"I apologize for the time I was gone, but I promise that I will do my job fully in Shield."

"It's better if you don't come to Shield."

Her response surprised me, and I asked why.

"Why?"

"Daniel Khorsch, The student council president, couldn't hide the fact that you are the new council treasurer.

And now, every club in the shield is after your blood."

...

...

...

I just made a few adjustments to their budgets, why are they so angry?

"And why does my Dark Claw like you anyway?"

And then, the question about her cat came up.

"Well, I am quite a cat person."

I answered her.

"If you were a cat person, you would know the proper way to grab a cat."

"..."

"You haven't done the spirit contract ritual yet, right?"

"No, I haven't."

"Then, if you get a cute spirit, do you want to trade?"

I raised my brows at her words.

"...why?"

Sure trading spirits is possible, but it is an...arduous process.

"Because mine belongs to the dark element, I tried to contact a lightning spirit many times, but it didnt work."

Ah, now I get it.

This girl's hatred for the darkness element is immense.

Yeah, she loses this hatred in the future, but right now, she hates and fears the element of Darkness.

With it having a chance to corrupt the user and being the element that represents demons along with Chaos, the opinion about it is very very bad.

"I don't think you should discriminate against something just because of its element."

I tried to talk some sense into her, trading spirits is harmful to both the users and Spirits.

"I know it's wrong."

I forgot my words for a moment after I heard her.

"I know it's wrong, I love it too, it's just...that seeing its element...I become scared, I recall some bad memories."

I stayed silent for a few moments.

"To be honest, the element of Darkness is great. When you get further into it, you unlock all sorts of things.

Necromancy, Black Magic, Even some illusion magic, and all sorts of other cool things."

After fighting with Kazikato, my views on the element changed.

The power to call an army of undead.

The power to curse someone.

The power of deceiving someone.

The power of resurrection.

It's amazing.

And Kazikato truly showed me the great things about it.

"..."

Sabrina states silent.

Well, when someone talks great about an element ostracized and shamed by the general public.

He appears to be crazy.

But shockingly, what I heard was a slight laughter

"Who says something great about necromancy...pfft."

Hey, you can revive people AND summon bone dragons and armies of the dead.

The element isn't linked to chaos, it's linked to death.

And the Dragon of death bitch slaps Suleras...probably.

It's an amazing element.

"You know, You and Elijah are good at making people laugh."

"I was serious, I would trade an elemental affinity I have for Darkness."

I would gladly trade Chaos for it.

"Your space one?"

"No, the other one."

"Pfft."

And she was still struggling to hide her laugh.

Is wanting another element that funny?

But then she suddenly stopped and said.

"Do you know about Ezra Fornum?"

That name again.

"Yeah, I do, and I also know that he wants to steal my techniques."

"So, do you wanna fight him?"

Honestly, My answer to that is.

"Yeah."

I want to, but I can't just risk it, I can't just let him steal my moves.

Unless something comes up, I won't be fighting him.

Unless something really important comes up anyways.

"That's so like the one that had a face of pure ecstasy when fighting a monster above his level."

She said and then continued.

"Well, Although mother and everyone else say that if it does happen, you will lose...."

There is a high chance of me losing..if I don't use my transformations.

"I'll root for you, the underdog bodyguard."

And then, I paused as I looked at the expression she had on her face as she said that.

I will say it not for the first time and definitely not the last time.

Beauty is a terrifying weapon.
