Title Secretly Acquired: Demoness

Morning, Silvie slowly opened her eyes, staring at the wooden ceiling, and at the window curtain that was pierced by specks of sunlights, welcoming a new day.

After yesterday's entrance test, she very curiously roamed around the academy, even as far as getting lost in the third-year senior class, she doesn't really know how to read a map, to be honest. Luckily, they are pretty kind as to show her where is where. The map she holds was blessed and all kinds of information were poured into it.

So after that, she thanked the seniors that helped her. Well, the seniors that were willing to help her were mostly commoners, some nobles do help her but most seem to doesn't like her, it looks like the diversity of commoners and nobles in the third year was very big, well, not that she cares too much.

After that, she tiredly dragged her feet- just kidding, she felt a little lazy after that and goes to the dormitory. The dorm master assigns her to a two beds room on the second floor. Her roommate was a second-year student, she was called Calli, a commoner, a little quiet girl but she doesn't mind at all, in fact, she likes it if it's quiet. The dorm for males and females, nobles and commoners were divided, well since so, she can only meet Zen in class or break time. She just hopes that he doesn't create too much ruckus else it would be troublesome.

Since she doesn't really have anything to do, she just slept. Who would've expected that she would wake up the next day?. Anyway, she felt very hungry, luckily, Arthur and Selena felt a 'little' worried about her and gave her... a little too much gold. Although this is good for nobles, for a 'commoner' it would be a death wish to use it outside. Fortunately, her sister is really smart and gave her well a little too much silver as well... but at least it won't be as disastrous as having gold coins, coupled with her having a magic pouch that can carry almost anything without giving her any weight at all is already great.

Anyway, she noticed a set of uniforms on the tables with her name on the chest. The uniform was pretty much grey colored with a little black here and there. Let's see... a white ribbon and a pair of grey socks. Hmm, she's already used to using skirts, not that she cares too, it's just a piece of clothing anyway.

She tried the uniform a little and let it go again. She hasn't bathed yet, even though she's not smelly, in fact, a little fragrant, but bathing is one of her few things that satisfy her other than foods and sweets so it's a must. There's no personal bathroom in the commoner's dorm, only a shared bathroom on each floor. As they said, the early bird gets a worm, luckily there's no one in the bathroom yet, so she got in, took a quick shower, and got back into her room very fast.

After tidying her bed, she went to the cafeteria. There are already a few people there, mostly nobles? actually no, all of them are nobles... for some reason, their uniform was different from a commoner's, it was a mixture of gold and white, it looks comfy as well. She went to the counter and pick a lot of food, meat, vegetables, but mostly sweets were bought, if not that there's a limit on buying she would want to buy all of it. The lady at the counter seems to be worried she cannot pay for the food, after all, she's using a commoner uniform but when Silvie took the money from her pouch, she didn't say anything. This girl is probably a rich merchant daughter or something, the lady at the counter thought like that.

The nobles seem to like whispering a lot, they looked at her and whisper something to each other, well, not that she cares anyway. She just carries all those foods, went to a deserted seat, and sat there. She was just munching her food with content when she heard noble ladies said something on her back, they don't even bother to lower their voice, instead, making it higher as if afraid people won't hear them, "A commoner is a commoner, after all, even if they're beautiful they have no etiquette", "Look, it's like a dog eating, ahaha", "Maybe she never ate such good food before, how unfortunate", ". Silvie still continued her eating spree, doesn't have any caring to any of it but she stopped after that same noble said, "They said, a dog mother will breed a dog child too, looks like it's true, haha".

... She is not so stupid as to not understand the meaning of the words, Did she just insult her mother?... she... insult... her mother...? she felt angry, for some reason... enraged. She doesn't have such a loving family in her 29 lives, and this family, especially her mother, Selena, was the most contributed person that made her feels the warm feeling of family, even though she still doesn't understand it fully, but she likes the feeling of having them. Insulting her like this, made her furious. The food she just ate felt like mush, everything seems to darken, and her head feels empty, but she knows, she remembers this feeling, the feeling of wanting to assassinate someone, at that time she hates it, but now...

Silvie suddenly exploded with a dense bloodlust, making all of the people in the cafeteria felt dizzy, some weaker ones already fainted at first impact. She slowly tilted her head, looking at the now frightened lady that insulting her mother, full of bloodlust, "I Dare you... say it again?". The lady felt dizzy, suffocated, and frightened, she doesn't even dare to look at her and fell to the ground butt first, "Eek", she squirmed in fear. Silvie stood from her seat, and slowly walked toward her, for the lady, every step Silvie take was like a bell of death in her ear. She wants to retreat back, but she felt her hand and feet were petrified, it doesn't want to move, she looked at Silvie with a pale face and shivering body, she wanted to say sorry in fear, but her mouth can't let out any voice, as if mute. Finally, Silvie stood in front of her, the noble felt her heart was beating very loud as if counting her time of death, her tears flowed from her eyes, but she still can't do anything at all.

Silvie doesn't care, what expression she made she doesn't care, she looked down at the noble, her eyes were filled with bloodlust so much that her eyes turn shiningly blood-red, she wanted to rip her, kill, kill, kill, every time the feeling of killing appeared on her mind, her bloodlust seems to increase two-fold, suffocating everyone in the cafeteria. Then, "Aiya, what a girl, it's not good to have too much bloodlust, sleep and forget about everything here", a voice appeared from her side, and her vision was darkened, she felt her consciousness fading and finally fell unconscious.

...

...

Silvie woke up in a rather tired manner, she felt a little tired for some reason. She looked around and found out that she woke up in the school infirmary. "Ugh", she felt a throbbing pain on her head, why is she here? what happened to her?. She only remembers a noble saying something... and... and... what? why can't she remember?. She can't remember anything at all, her head hurts when she tries recalling it. Grrr... Hungry... she also felt really hungry right now, does she not eaten just now? she remembers going to the cafeteria though, weird...

Anyway, when she got up, she was greeted by the female doctor outside, the doctor asked if she was okay now, "Yes I'm okay now, um... who... brought me here?". The doctor thought about it, "If I'm not mistaken it's a boy, golden hair, very tall, very handsome as well, oh I remember now, it's the first prince of Clausse Kingdom, he's also the president of the student union, I should say you're a pretty lucky little girl", the doctor said and softly pat her shoulder.

... does she suppose to feel happy?. Anyway, "Can you tell me his name, I'm a new student and I want to thank him if possible", --I'm heavy after all, he must've got a hard time-- a little thank will do for something like that, right?. "Oh right, his name is Claude Clausse, but before you go out let me do one last check".

...

...

"So... Clause Clausse, never heard of it... oh well, eat first", Silvie try to remember the name of the princes she heard from her previous lives and she's pretty sure no one have that name, besides, the Clausse Kingdom was pretty much destroyed after they try to wage war on the Creztine Kingdom so he's probably dead at that time. --Anyway, there's the cafeteria!--, Silvie looked at the door to the Cafeteria with stars on her eyes, and she quickens her steps. For some reason, the Nobles seems to avoid her, well, the commoners were normal though so it's probably just her feelings.

After entering the Cafeteria, most people seem to look away from her, all of them were Nobles, Though she was confused, she shrugged it off as nothing and went to the counter. Luckily it's still morning and the food was still warm, it was the same clerk as the first time she came here, the clerk looked at Silvie with cold sweat. --Why is everyone acting so weird, did I do something?-- anyway, she just picks the food, pays the price, and like before, she found a deserted table and sat there. Though she saw Zen, he seems to be with his friends, she doesn't want to bother him.

Even though she thinks that way, Zen certainly does not. When he looked at her, he said something to his friend and went to her table. He asked, "Can I sit here?", at this time Silvie was munching on her food contently, she looked up and saw him, "Suit yourself" she said and then continue munching at her food. Zen sat across her and asked with a small voice, "Hey, have you heard?".

"mwer mwat? (Hear what?)", Silvie asked with her mouth still bulging with food inside. Zen said in a mysterious manner, "I heard, this morning there's a scary commoner that even the Nobles was afraid of, I heard from my friend that hears from his noble friend that it's a girl, ah, it's a new student like us as well, isn't that amazing?". "Mwamwing(Amazing)", a commoner that even the nobles were afraid of must be a great person. "Another thing, I heard she was titled a "Demoness" by the Nobles since she was very beautiful but dangerous as well". "Gwed Nwetlm(good title)". "Well, anyway, that's all I heard, ahaha, I won't bother you eating anymore", for some reason his face seems to blush a little and then he returned to his friend that pats him in the back while laughing, when they laugh, Zen seems to look at her way again and quickly look away, his face reddened even more.

...

Hah... finally satisfied, Silvie rubbed her full belly for a while and went to gather the information about the student union. After gathering enough information she went to find the student union office. On the way, many more nobles seem to avoid her, she feels something odd.

There was this one noble girl, she looked at her with frightened expression and then run away while Silvie looked at her in confusion, --Who is this girl, she looks frightened by me, I didn't do anything to her right? weird--. She doesn't think too much since the girl was someone she doesn't know anyway.

After a while, she finally reached the student union office. She knocks at the door trice, after that she heard a male voice from the other side, telling her to come in. Silvie slowly opens the door, the first thing she saw was a tall boy wearing a noble uniform, he had golden hair and shining yellow eyes, he stood in front of the bookshelf with a book in his hand, he seems to just take it from the bookshelf.

He looks at her in surprise, "Oh? it's you", --He looks the same as the doctor described, it's him right?--, Silvie didn't like to have small talk and immediately said, "Thank you for carrying me to the infirmary", and as a courtesy, she bowed the way her mother taught her. "No need to thank me, come sit, it's not comfortable to stand like that", Claude politely pointed at the sofa in front of him but Silvie refused, "No need, I have to leave quickly". "Ah, right, you're a freshman right?", when she was about to walk away, she heard Claude question so she stopped and turned to look at him, "Yes, why?".

"You were going to take this year's freshman lesson roster right? I happen to have one", Claude, took a paper from the table and showed it to her. "... What do you want?", Silvie looks at him suspiciously, putting her guard up. "Nothing, I just want to know your name", Claude gives a bright smile, looking harmless, but this made Silvie put her guard up a lot more. "Silvie, just Silvie", hearing her Claude smiled even brighter, "I see! well you done your end of the deal, here's the roster", Claude came up to her and gave her the paper.

"... Thank you, goodbye", After receiving the paper and looking at it, she immediately left the office, she felt a little uncomfortable with him.

...

...

Back in the office, Claude looked blankly at the closed door, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "... Even if you try to hide it, I remember your smell"

"...Evie".
