6 Chapter 6: Lutrix Hal

Thodi was leaning on his chair, talking to his friend, Gaétan. Focusing was a bit hard, especially when your eyes keeps on drifting sideways. The distraction mostly in the form of a white haired girl, quietly reading by the window at the back.

Things has been like that since her arrival. Not only him, half of the male students were either secretly glancing or openly staring at her during and after first class. There were even female students visibly ogling!

Through all the eyes, she doesn't seem to notice at all. Just there, minding no one but her own. Earlier, a few boys took the initiative and spoke to her. But the response they would get was either a cold stare, a small glace or straight up ignored. There was someone who was stupid enough to test the waters during free time, he wanted to talk to her but was ultimately ignored. So he reached out to spin her around, when he did, he was suddenly sprawled on the ground, screaming and clutching on the his arm. A lot of people saw how she looked and sounded.

She was looking down on him with a cold frosty atmosphere and said in an emotionless tone, "I don't like touches, so better watch how you act before me or a dislocated arm is not the only thing you'll get." But they also saw her wear disposable gloves and fixed back his arm.

During her introduction, she told everyone that she was the daughter of the well-known Palacio Tech Group. Actually, she didn't say anything, she just wrote down her name and went back to her seat. The professor didn't mind since he's mostly used to the attitude of her brothers.

Speaking of her brothers, the eldest, Zylan Mahciel is known as the Tech Iceberg here in Zilther academy because of his outstanding performances in robotics and computer science. Not only that, he's the star player in Zilther's E-sports team, S-Zero.

The second elder brother, Xerelt Mugeil is more of the Glacier Athlete. He excels in almost every Zilther sports tournaments and scores exceptionally high in Quantum Physics/Quantum Mechanics. He's also the student officer who disciplines those who breaks the academy rule. They both maintain their other school curriculum above average, which quiet normal in Zilther Academy.

Now, due to the identical personality she shares with her brothers. She was automatically named Frost Princess, temporarily, in such a short time and because of the scene witnessed by the students. Her arrival was posted on the school's website and forums and also the school's publication.

Gasps were heard. Thodi noticed that Gaétan was quietly staring at the front with his mouth agape.

Curious enough, he looked. And what he saw shocked him like the other students. There by the door stood Lutrix Hal. The only son of the Country F Marshal, Lucien Hal.

Gazes lingered on Lutrix's figure as he makes his way in and up the stairs towards the back, students were confused why he was here. They saw him sat just beside the now known beloved sister of his rivals. Shocked was an understatement, they were extremely dumbfounded.

Because both were known to be cold haphephobic, but Lutrix leaned closer to her with a smile and Naneel did nothing but ignored him when their elbows touched.

{With Naneel}

"Personal space." Naneel moved her elbow away.

"Now, that's not nice. And here I thought you'd want to meet me out the wig and all. Are you disappointed?" He took her hand from under the desk and rubbed circle on it.

"Yes." She slaps his hand and wipes her hand on her skirt.

"Oh, how savage. Sad part, you can't get rid of me for the whole day, Ms. Palacio." He smirks at her and she scoffs in response.

"Your the same year level as my brothers, yes? I don't know if you want to be in this class, since you're more in to Business and Finance. Besides, I heard Mr. Hal only does night classes." Naneel closes her book and looks at him, a hint of amusement flashed through her eyes.

"My, you seem to know me pretty well. It flatters me. Even more so that I made you say so many words in a day." He smiled.

Tsk. Naneel looked out the window as the linguistics professor enters. Introducing the new student, welcoming Lutrix and starting the class like everything is normal.
