Light's Apprentice

The next day, I woke up normally and went to school. Everything was going well until Katerine arrived...

A small girl with brown skin. His hair is short and black and even looks like a boy's; the strands are straight and messy. On his head, there are two cat ears that appear to be very furry.

She wears a white shirt with short sleeves and a knee-length skirt with a flower print.

Katerine sits next to me. Clearly, she is going to ask me to teach magic, you don't need to be a genius to know that.

After a few minutes of class having started, she turns to me.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey..." She keeps repeating it in her thin voice.

"What is it?" I say without much excitement.

"Teach me magic, please???" She puts her hands together in prayer and begs me.

Very straight to the point; she didn't even introduce herself; I wouldn't have that courage...

It's not like I don't want to teach it, but training my magic takes up most of my time, and it's also very important.

I take a long sigh before answering her question.

"My schedule is already full; maybe in a few years I'll be able to do it."

She looks shocked.

"A few years?! I want it now, now, now..." My God, how can a child be so annoying?

In my old life, I didn't like children. I always found them insufferable and stupid, however, when I started living with William, I realized that this was more of a personality trait than something natural.

William is well-behaved and very calm. He rarely gives our mother work. But this girl here...

"Please, please, please, please..." I need to concentrate before I test my magic on her...

"Katerine!" Professor Bovary scolds her.

"Sorry!" She responds.

It looks like she calmed down.

The class continues, and everyone pays attention to the class again.

In less than 5 minutes, she turns around and faces me again. I try to pretend I don't see it, but it's impossible not to notice.

"My name is Katerine, by the way." She says in a whisper, with her hand hiding her mouth.

"I know..."

"You know!? Who told you!?" She gets excited and ends up speaking louder.

The teacher just looks at her face. Katerine immediately realizes that she made a mistake, but the teacher turns around and continues her lesson.

"Your father told me. My name is Light." I respond in a low tone.

"I know." She answers me with a low voice, exuding confidence, as if she has already investigated me before. "Let's continue our conversation during our break..." She tells me and turns forward to listen to the class.

When Mrs. Bovary lets us go for a break, I immediately go outside the school to get some air.

Katerine follows me, thinking that I hadn't felt her presence, but I did...

Going outside, the girl tries to scare me by scaring me behind my back, but I already expected that.

"Wow, you didn't even move..." She says impressed. "Was that magic??"

"Of course not. It was just my perception..."

"So, will you teach me magic?" She asks.

"First of all, do you have discipline?" I ask.

"I don't even know that word." She says with a bright smile on her face.

...

I put my hand on my forehead and didn't react for a moment.

"It's okay, I can train you..." I say.

"Yaaaay!"

"HOWEVER, I won't be able to accompany you. I'll just teach you the minimum you need to know." This brat won me over with her insistence!

"But will you help me every day?" She asks.

"It depends."

"Depends on what?"

"Only if you behave, then I can train you every day." I respond with authority.

"Understood, master!" She says firmly.

"You can call me Light..."

After our class ended, I promised that I would help Katerine train after lunch.

Soon after that, I went home and ate.

I explained the situation to Hera and William. My mother found it funny because I already have to be a child's teacher, being a child.

William asked me to take him along, and I accepted. It could be dangerous for him to train in the forest alone.

Arriving at Charles' house, I knock on his door and wait for him to open it for me and my brother to enter.

Until the handle turns and the door opens.
