Chapter-18

It's a day for classes and I was in the Noble section. The classroom was divided into three sections. The Royal Class was for royal-related children, the Nobel Class was for the clan's children, and the Commoners Class was for public children. The teachers are assigned to every class according to their ability. Instructor Daniel was responsible for the Royal class since he was the best professor in the whole Academy. Like that, a new instructor was responsible for our class, and the instructor Byleth was responsible for the commoners class since it was chosen by himself. 

When I enter the class, everyone already had their group and they were sitting together. I look for the empty seat and found one in the back corner of the class. I walked straight to my seat avoiding the backbiting of mine. It can't be said backbiting, I can hear them all. It's more like they were complimenting me. I waited for the class to start and I suddenly saw Ariana on the first bench. Even in simple clothes, she was looking beautiful. But she seems to get annoyed because someone is bugging her and it was Beto. I heard they were engaged but soon Ariana will kick his ass and chase Seth. Well, that's not my problem. 

"Hello everyone," A young man looking in his twenties enters the classroom. He has red hair and an arrogant chin and fair skin which was glowing. He was wearing a thin frame glass and well dressed. His green eyes were shining through his glasses and his long eyelash was beautiful than any girl. He was incredibly good-looking. Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and all their focus was on him. He flustered and walked behind the instructor's desk. He put down his materials and looked over the whole class, "Hello, I am your assigned instructor Brad Barrett instead of Mr.Chorla but you can call me Brad ." 

Mr.Chorla is the oldest instructor in the Royal Academy but a few days ago he encounters a dangerous accident on his way back home. The accident was quite mysterious. Well, It looked like someone plotted against him. After all, he has lots of enemies for being a too strict and famous instructor for a long time. I sighed and look over the new instructor. 

Everyone was busy asking Instructor Brad many questions and he was responding to all of them smiling. He looked calmer than before. Then soon he started teaching but it was disturbed by one of the staff of the Academy. Instructor Brad walked inside after talking with the staff and he looked over us, " We have two students transferring to our class"

"What? Who are they?." Everyone in the class started getting curious. 

"It might be something new for you and this Academy. They are from the Royal Class Mr. Seth and Miss. Diana." Everyone got thrilled hearing two big-shot names. I knew about Seth but Diana, I was having a hard time remembering who was she. They both enter the class and after seeing her, my doubts cleared. Diana was the same girl I saw in the arena with Seth and she was the daughter of the principal. In the middle of their introduction, a word crossed my mind 'princess'. "Wait don't tell me she is the third princess," I screamed in my mind. "What the heck, What's going on here? Princess Diana was the first target of Seth but that all happens after the fresher party. The plot seems to move faster than in the novel" my mind was running faster than any express train. Even though my mind was being messed but I continue to keep my cool and gentle appearance. 

Seth and Princess Diana choose the second desk behind Ariana. The class continues after the small commotion and while I was looking around class, I suddenly saw how Ariana's ears reddened and Princess Diana was glaring at her. I thought, being a male lead is not easy. I laughed inside my mind. In the end, the class finished and everyone went away. I return to my room and got fresh.

The day was fun I guess. I meet two new characters today and the Male lead being in the same class means I won't miss any events to see in the flesh. I was getting thrilled while just imagining about it. I lay in my comfort zone for a while, my bed. I start thinking about the whole day. It was stranger to hear Mr. Choral's accident. Even though he had many rivals but trying to end his life was a bit over. And none of the other instructors or students have that power to attack Mr.Choral. Besides being an instructor of the academy he was a powerful figure in public. Well whatever, instead of strict like devil instructor, we got angel-like Instructor Brad. 

Instructor Brad was a kind and shy person like his appearance but he is a genius person. He can remember all the student names on the first day and the way he explains the lesson are easier to understand. Even the hardest subjects are being taught easily. And on the other side, princess Diana. I didn't imagine she will be a kind of annoying character. She is beautiful but what's the point of being beautiful if her soul isn't. She was making everyone in the class uncomfortable. Who knew the beautiful as a flower-like princess will be discriminating the people and looking down on others and talking selfishly. But who can even a say word to her, after all, she is a princess. Touch royal members a single hair and your head will be hanged. I sighed. Also, I couldn't catch up on anything from the novel. What's going to happen from now? The plots are moving faster than I had imagined. Well, whatever happens, I just need to keep my life safe and not getting the bad side on Male lead eyes.

The classes were going normal, nothing special happens and I was thankful for Seth not minding me. It was the best thing for me to feel relax. I always wake up early in the morning and go to the gym or I keep running Around the football ground. I joined the martial art class to train my body and I start spending most of my time in the library after the martial art class. I was searching and studying about the poisons and flames user. I wanted to improve my ability along with my physical.

One day While I was spending my time in the library corner side, I happen to cross through the book called "The Brug". The book seems to be too old. It was in poor condition. In the corner of bookshelves, it's the row that keeps the unwanted or waste books. But looking at that book, from the inside of my soul was telling me to pick up. At the last, I took it with me. When I reached my room, I prepare warm tea and sit on a chair near the window. I took out the book and start turning the pages. The pages were in a good stage than its cover. The cover was silver and designed like thunder and cloud on each corner of the book. The name was written in dark blue color. It was looking pretty but the cover was crumbled and torn a little. Inside the book, the text was in a different language, like an ancient language of some empire but the diagram inside was clear. I can guess what the book was about after seeing the art on the book. There were four chapters and at the start of each chapter has diagrams of different dragons. There was big a huge word written side of the dragon. It was really hard to understand the words and what was written. At the last panel of the book, four dragons were circling while flying and in the middle, there was something small like a ball or stone-like structure was floating. They seem to do something on that structure. Under the picture, only three lines were written. " hmm, someday I might understand this book" I took a sip of tea and put the book in my collection bookrack.  

Like other days, classes were going normal but it was getting boring and I didn't have anything to do. It's already been a month since class started and My life seems like nothing at the instant. I thought being in the same class as the male lead, I can see something interesting every day but who knew he barely attends the class. Also, I barely see Ariana and Diana attending class. Being the main character always makes you busy I guess. I sighed heavily. 

"Are you okay, John?" instructor Brad.

"Woo" I was scared for a sec hearing the voice of Instructor Brad out of nowhere and I feel like My heart was going to run. It was beating fast.  

"I am good" I speak while calming myself down. Instructor Brad chuckles looking at me.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. But your mind seems to be out today. I called you many times" he smiles.

"Oh, I am sorry Instructor Brad"

"It's fine. Well, I was asking what are your plan for a fresher part?"

"Fresher party?" I looked at him in confusion. 

"Yes everyone is preparing and taking part in something for the fresher party. So, What are you doing for that day?"

"I am sorry Instructor Brad but I won't be taking any part. I will be sitting backstage looking at them" 

"Umm, I hope you were doing something but don't worry if you ever changed your mind just inform me." 

"Okay"

Instructor Brand went back to his table and write something on paper. Then he asked everyone to do self-study and walked out. And soon today class ended. I went to the library and pick some books about languages on my way to the room. When I reached my room door, Mike was standing there. I was very happy to see him and invited him inside. I pour the warm cup of tea for him and me. Also, I prepared some side food. 

"It's great to see you doing good, Master John" 

"You can call me  John when we are alone"

"Okay, John. How is your life going on the Academy"

"I am doing good but days are boring here."

 The chats continue for a while and at the end, before leaving Mike takes out the red envelope with the stamp of the Great Red Dragon Clan symbol and handed it to me. The Red Dragon Clan has the symbol of the ferocious dragon head looking at its prey in a sinister way and it's a stamp only used by Ethan Williams.
