In the morning, Kara woke up a little bit late, she went down from bed and saw the couches with curiosity later she walked toward them and saw a note with a few gold coins above it, Kara grabs the gold coins and the note to then smile after reading the note
Kara came out of the house wearing only her blue dress with high heel boots, leaving her robe behind, she walked to the training grounds where Hayato was swinging his Lostvayne with swift and powerful movements ' The clone gathered only 22,750 system points, most of the monsters he encountered were stronger than him, in total I have 109,500 system points, I will buy Albion first, Syt, show me the prices of Ddraig and Albion again '

' Good, tomorrow night, I will complete those two quests, I just need to gather 200,000 system points more but that can wait, I need to go find them first, I won't be calm until I know they are safe '
Kara approached Hayato shaking her head " Hey, you didn't sleep yesterday, right? "
Hayato turns to see her with a tired voice and says " You woke up, then now what do you want to do? "
Kara pouts after he ignored her question then she says " I want to buy some clothes, I have been using these clothes for a very long time "
Hayato nods and says " You want to go now or are you planning to meet with that woman again? "
Kara shakes her head and says " My master said that she is going to be in the castle till afternoon so I have to wait for her here when I ended my shopping "
Hayato sees her with a calm face as he says " Then let's go, I will escort you "
Kara makes a little smile as she says " You don't have to, I can take care of myself "
Hayato puts his Lostvayne on his waist and starts to walk " I said let's go, let's not waste time here "
Kara pouts and snorts " Hmph, ok " and she follows Hayato with a smile
Hayato and Kara walked through the academy, but it seems that they are the first ones there, so they only saw empty hallways and classrooms. They left the academy and walked to a store a few blocks far from the academy, the store sells adventurer clothes, nothing that Hayato was expecting someone like Kara to wear. Kara entered the store alone with Hayato waiting for her outside and after a half-hour, she came out, wearing a white shirt that has metallic red armor above it, she also has leather pants with metallic protection on the shins and thighs and a pair of brown metallic boots. She still doesn't have a weapon but she has the same metallic gauntlets that Dye uses and a bag in her right hand to seem to have her blue dress
Kara turns to see Hayato with a happy smile and says " Let's go to eat something, I'm starving "
Hayato smirks and says " So you finally start to smile, at some point, I thought that you were some kind of weirdo "
Kara turns red and makes a pout " I'm not a weirdo, you are the weirdo, I smile because now I'm happy "
Hayato chuckles " Haha, then, lead the way " Kara and Hayato start to walk and Hayato says to her seeing the bag in her hand " You are going to keep that dress? isn't it very damaged and dirty now? "
Kara hugs the bag and says with a sad smile seeing it " Yes it is but... I-Its very important to me so I'm going to keep it with me "
Hayato sees Kara's sad face and stays silent. They walked farther from the academy and after another half hour, they arrived at a restaurant. The restaurant looks luxurious with various clients wearing eccentric clothes, the restaurant has various tables some kind of bar, and a metal fence outside
A waiter approaches them with a smile and says " Sorry, but your slave can't eat here "
Kara frowns seeing the waiter and she says with a cold voice " What!? why not? "
The waiter keeps his smile as he says " We have standards, young lady, and a reputation to take care of "
Kara snorts coldly " Hmph, I tell you what, I will pay for our meal with a gold coin, I'm sure that that will shut that mouth of yours " Kara takes a gold coin from her pocket and slammed it on the waiter's chest
The waiter grabs the gold coin and nods a few times " Ah! Of course, my lady! this way, please! " The waiter took Hayato and Kara to a round table near a window far away from the other customers since the customers seem to don't like Hayato. They eat a great meal with meat, salad, and dessert, then they left the restaurant towards the academy again
Kara and Hayato entered the academy building, but when they were in the hallway, a group of 4 persons appeared in front of them, 2 young women around Kara's age, and 2 handsome men around 25 years old the two of them are wearing black suits. The first woman has long black hair and dark blue eyes, her face is not very remarkable but she is kinda cute, her body is slender and she has the same arrogant face as the other woman, the symbol on her jacket has just the black shield. The second woman has short brown hair and yellow eyes, she is a little bit more attractive than the other woman with her face more mature and her body a little bit more voluptuous and the two men with black suits have short black hair but one has green eyes and the other light blue eyes, their bodies look thin but strong
" Well, well, well, so the rumors were true, you are back " Said mockingly the young woman with short brown hair
" Jasmine " Said Kara with a cold voice and she and " *YAWN* " Hayato with a sleepy face passed beside them, ignoring the 4 of them, the woman named Jasmine opens her mouth with surprise then she turns around seeing Kara in anger
" How you dare to ignore me! " Jasmine extends her right hand trying to grab Kara's hair from behind but *GRAB* Hayato grabbed her hand just before she could grab Kara's hair, Jasmine sees Hayato with disbelief then she grits her teeth and says " Release me, disgusting slave! " the other woman that was with her saw them with surprise and one of the handsome men walked towards them with an angered face " Release her! "
Kara turns around and saw Hayato grabbing Jasmine's wrist but she didn't complain to Hayato instead she saw Jasmine with anger and say " What you were trying?! "
Jasmine grits her teeth and says " Christopher, kill him! "
" Yes, my lady! " One of the handsome men runs and sends a punch toward Hayato's face
*PAM* Hayato stops his punch with his left hand without releasing Jasmine's wrist, the man and Jasmine were surprised, then Hayato pulls the man's hand making him approach until they were face to face, and *PUM* " Ack! " Hayato gives him a headbutt on the face and the man falls on his butt, bleeding from the mouth and nose
The students near them began to surround them until both sides of the hallway were full of curious eyes " Hey, what is happening? " Asked a male student " They started to fight inside the academy " Said another male student " What!? that's forbidden, wait... are those Jasmine and Kara? " The second student nods and says " Yes, Jasmine always treated Kara badly I think that she ordered his slave to attack her "
Kara and the other young woman were seeing Hayato open-mouthed but Jasmine was very angry as she tries to release her wrist from Hayato's grip, then she yells " Sophia, what are you doing, help me! "
The woman named Sophia shivers and says " Y-Yes! Kyle, stop him " The handsome man beside her nods and sees Hayato with a serious face then he and Christopher, who just got up, begin to attack Hayato " Great Strength Boost " x2 their bodies start to shine with a red light
Hayato saw them moving toward him and finally, he releases Jasmine's wrist, Jasmine walks a few steps back watching the red marks on her wrist, Hayato begins to stop and dodge every punch and kick they send him. Jasmine sees Kara with hatred and yells " You b*tch, stop your f*cking slave, or I will kill you! "
Kara frowns seeing her, but she doesn't move or talk, which makes Jasmine shake in anger, meanwhile *PAM* Hayato punch Christopher on the stomach " Ugh.. " making him fall on his knees, Kyle sees an opening and sends him a round kick aiming at Hayato's head, Hayato leans backward dodging the kick, then he moves forward and grabs Kyle's neck from behind with his right arm
" Ack... " Kyle tries to remove Hayato's arm from his neck but it's useless " Release him! " yelled Sophia in distress, but Hayato didn't stop and continued strangling him and when his eyes rolled upwards, a voice of a young man resounded in all the hallway " What the hell are you doing!? "
In front of a group of students were a young woman and a young man both of them have the symbol on their jackets with the shield, staff, and sword. The young man is handsome with short golden hair and eyebrows like swords, he has ice-blue eyes and his face can be described as a little girlish, he is tall (around 1.80 meters) and his body is thin but his shirt is a little open revealing part of his strong body. The young woman is very gorgeous with her silver hair in a pixy cut, she has small silver eyebrows and sapphire eyes, she is a little small compared to the young man(around 1.70 meters) and her body could be described as perfect
The male students were seeing the young woman with enchanted faces unable to take their eyes off her and some female students were seeing the young man with lovestruck gazes
Jasmine smiles seeing the young man and says " Please, help us, Kara ordered his slave to attack us " She pointed at Kara to then at Hayato
The young man turns and sees Hayato with hostile eyes, Hayato has the unconscious Kyle on his arm but he is no longer choking him, then the young man says with a cold voice " Release him "
Hayato keeps seeing him with a calm expression and he doesn't obey him that making the young man frown with anger when he was about to yell Kara says softly " Hayato, please release him " and Hayato releases Kyle who falls to the floor unconscious " Kyle! " Sophia approaches Kyle with a face full of worry
The blond young man frowns seeing Kara and says " You know the rules, didn't you? why did you make your slave attack a student of the imperial academy? "
Kara speaks with a calm face " He only interfered to defend me, they were the ones who started that "
" You f*cking liar! She is lying! She ordered that slave to attack me! " Jasmine yelled with anger
Kara sees her with anger and says " You are still so shameless "
" Enough! " The blond young man yelled and says " We don't have the evidence, but I indeed saw that slave strangling one of their servants and by the looks of the other one and her wrist I can tell that he is guilty so you two will come with us "
" What!? No, I refuse! we are not going anywhere! " Kara yelled with anger
The blond young man grits his teeth in anger and yells " You dare to defy the rules! first, you bring a slave to the academy and now you broke one of the rules and refuse to obey! I will force you two to come with me!
The students began to whisper while they were discussing " That slave could be strong, he beat Jasmine and Sophia's servants " said a male student
Another student nods and says " Yes, but they were only Advance Earth Warriors, they can't compare with Lord Erick he advanced yesterday to an Intermediate Sky Magic Swordsman "
*ZOOM* The blond young man runs towards Hayato in a flash and " Goodnight! " *PAM* he hits Hayato on the arms, Hayato has his guard up protecting his face, and the hit that Erick gives him sends him a few steps back
Erick sees Hayato with an incredulous face " What!? " Hayato shakes his arms and gets ready to attack but the woman that came with Erick says " That's enough, Erick " She has a sweet melodious voice
Erick turns to see her and nods " As you wish princess " Then the young woman turns to see Kara and says with a domineering voice " You, give me the property of that slave right now " Hayato and Kara frown hearing her, Erick who was beside her opens his eyes with astonishment
The students there were surprised too but no one of them dared to say anything, Kara bows her head a little and says " Princess Scarlett, I'm sorry but I can't do that "
The young woman frowns as she says " I'm not asking you "
Kara keeps her head bowed and she continues " I really can't do that, after all, he is not mine "
Scarlett sees Kara coldly and says " Then bring his owner here "
Kara raises her head and shows a nervous face " He is not here, he ordered him to protect me just for a few days when the days passed he will go back with his master "
" Hmph, then I just need to wait " Scarlett walks till she was in front of Hayato and raises his chin with her index finger, and says with a sweet smile " Soon, you will be mine "
Scarlett turns around and says " The show is over, everyone, leave the place " Then she turns to see Jasmine and says " You and your friend need to take away that trash out of the hallway " Then she left together with Erick, the students on the hallway did the same, Jasmine saw Kara with anger as she says " This isn't over " and leaves ignoring Christopher who was grabbing his stomach with a pained expression, Sophia helps Kyle to walk and leaves without saying anything
Hayato walks with Kara towards the training grounds then Hayato speaks " Who is she? why did she want me? "
Kara shakes her head and says " She is the 7th princess of the Empire and the favorite of the Emperor, she has power and good looks, and she always does what she wants just like her other sisters, I don't know why she wants you but she kept her eyes on you since the moment she saw you "
Hayato smiles and says " Another spoiled noble, don't be offended "
Kara pouts and says " Hmph, I'm not a spoiled girl now let's go to my master's office, she will arrive in a couple of minutes "
Hayato and Kara arrive at an office, the office has a desk near a window and various shelves with a lot of different books, Kara and Hayato waited in the room and Hayato asks " That woman usually attacks a person when she just has met them? "
" Eh? " Kara tilts her head and says " No, my master usually is aggressive with criminals or corrupt nobles she has good authority in the empire, why do you ask? "
" Just curiosity, one more thing where are you planning to live? are you going to pass all your life in that small house? " Hayato asked with a serious face
Kara shakes her head with a little smile on her face " No, my master has a great house she will let me stay with her, I'm planning to be a teacher just like her, I will study here, It will be fine, I'm not the one I use to be, those girls won't be a problem "
" I'm sure of that " Hayato smiled a little and Kara as well, then Kara says " You are the one who has to be careful, that princess is gonna go for you "
" Pfft " Hayato makes a careless smile " She is not a problem, I just need to fly away and she will never be able to catch me "
Kara giggles with her eyes closed and her left hand on her mouth " Hehe, I really would like to see her face when you fly away "
They kept talking about different things for a couple of minutes, then Selene entered the office she sees Kara with a smile " Little brat, you got all you needed? "
Kara nods with a smile and says " Yes, master, why did you go to the castle? "
Selene walks and sits on her desk then she " *SIGH* The Greyfort Village stopped their annual reports "
Hayato makes a face of doubt thinking ' Annual reports? is that some kind of tax? '
" Why? " Kara asked with a serious face
Selene shakes her head and says " We don't know, the knights that were sent to make the report never came back, the Emperor will send a group to see what happened and he wants me to be their leader, I think they were attacked by a bunch of bandits, so I will take a group of the best students and go there it will be helpful for their future, so, we will leave tomorrow if we are lucky we will arrive on the sunset "
Kara stayed silent for a couple of seconds then she says " Master, can I go with you? "
Selene makes a thoughtful expression and says " Let me think about it "
Then Kara says " Hayato, can you leave us alone? I want to say something to my master "
" Alright " Hayato left the office and after a couple of hours he was falling asleep while he was leaning against a wall, so he shakes his head a couple of times then they come out, it seems that Kara left the bag with her blue dress inside Selene's office
Selene makes a face full of concern when she sees Kara " Kara, are you sure you want to do this? "
Kara turns to see her and nods with a smile " Yes, master "
Selene hugs her as she says " Then, I trust you little brat " when they separated, Selene turns to see Hayato with a smiling face " And you, evil guy, you will come with us, right? "
Hayato nods and says " If she is going, then, yes "
Selene smiles and says " Then it's decided, you two will come with us, so go to sleep now " She points at Hayato when she says " Especially you, you look tired " Kara and Hayato left for the training grounds leaving Selene in the hallway

In one room of the Slyorn Castle
The room is very well decorated and big with a big bed, a tea table, a couple of couches, chairs, and a window. The bedroom was illuminated slightly by a red light that comes from a couple of red monster cores on the ceiling and the window was open letting enter some of the light of the moon enter
On the bed was a young woman and on the floor in front of her was a handsome young man, licking her shoes, that woman was Scarlett. The young man is half-naked, using only shorts, he is very handsome, he has short black hair, and green eyes, and his body looks strong, he was seeing the woman's legs with an intoxicated gaze
Scarlett has a mocking smile as she sees the young man licking the shoes while she was sitting cross-legged at the edge of the bed " Lick them until they are completely clean "
" Yes... my lady... " The young man keeps licking the shoe of the woman and when he grabs the shoe she yells " I said lick it, don't touch it! " Then she stands and kicks the young man in the face sending him flying towards a wall, the young man lies unconscious on the floor
Then Scarlett lies on the bed and starts to laugh " Hahaha, I finally found someone like him, maybe he is not a Hero but his looks suited to those in the tales "
Scarlett grabs a pillow and hugs it, then she bites her lower lip in a sexy manner " Mmm.. mother was right, it was love at first sight for the princess " Then she makes a cold face " I know that that woman is lying, so, I have to force her to give him to me or I will kill her, he has to be mine and only mine, after all, only I deserve him "
Scarlett gets up and walks to the open window speaking with an enchanting voice " Ooh, my Hero... soon... we will be together "
