Chapter 131: Charm in Eyes
Butler had some connections and due to his position, Harry had given him some help. The butler was able to avoid being caught in the battle, and he remained out of danger, only coming out after Rae had left.
...
Gets lost along the way, begins to hunt for bandits on different routes. Goes back after spending two weeks outside of the academy.
"Hello, professor Gina." Rae greeted her with enthusiasm, the fit and sexy woman was the first woman he met after entering the academy, professor Gina, Daniel's wife.
"Hey, Rae!! It's good to see that you have returned all well. How was your mission?" Gina showed the same enthusiasm, her eyes twinkled as she asked Rae about the mission.
"It was fine. Easy to accomplish but the travel part took time." Rae informed her, not sparing the details of the mission.
The time that took him to complete the mission was indeed no more than a week but there were circumstances that led to him spending his time outside.
The major factor contributing to the reason was the bloodstone he had gotten. Since, Ekaros informed him about the usage of the artifact, Rae wanted to try it out.
But, he could not just go on a rampage and massacre people on his way. So, he decided to explore the roads and look for the bandits and other nuisance elements.
The ones he encountered were all dealt with by him, causing the bloodstone to become fully charged when he returned back to the academy.
"I can understand that. You should submit the evidence of mission completion and be done with it." Gina advised as she winked at him and walked back, her tight ass moved seductively.
'Hmm, really missed that ass.' Rae thought entranced by the curvy ass.
...
Rae walked into the hall to submit his mission completion record. The process was quick and did not take much time. Although Rae did notice the whispers and small talks after seeing him walk inside.
'I seem to have made a very good impression after that test.' Rae thought, his first impression in the academy had left quite the reputation.
People recognised him wherever he went.
"You have been quite busy these days. Did you forget the mission that lady Alice had given you?" A veiled lady came closer to Rae and whispered the words to him.
Rae was surprised to see the veiled lady, not even an hour had passed after his arrival and she had tracked him already.
"Why do you think so?" He asked leisurely.
"You would not have spent two weeks in the very first mission you got after getting into the academy if you were serious about your task." The lady suppressed her anger at Rae's nonchalance and rebuked him.
"I just liked the mission, and the mission took surprisingly longer than I had predicted. Anyways, the more I show off my strength, the less suspicious it would be when I join this new field of study under professor Natasha."
Rae did not tell her about the strange encounter he had with a shady organization, and one of the Earl's messenger.
The topic would cause distrust among them, and it did not serve any purpose in their current conversation.
"Alright, fine by me. I was here to remind you about the mission just in case. Since you are done here already, you should head to the class, professor Natasha is supposed to take a class today." The lady explained.
She was there to inform Rae about the class originally. Professor Natasha did not have much demand for her class which caused her to stick to her research for most of the time.
"Are you interested in that class? Want to come along?" Rae asked her, he needed someone to guide him to the class anyways.
"NNo.. no It's okay. I have some to be somewhere." The veiled lady stuttered after Rae turned to look into her eyes and asked if she wanted to come along.
'No!! Why I am getting shy? He just asked me to attend the class with him.' The veiled lady thought before turning away and leaving instantly.
'Did I unknowingly release my control over my aura?' Rae glanced at the loss of composure he had caused in the veiled lady. He thought that he had mistakenly caused his aura to leak.
In the past few days, he was able to research the bloodstone in leisure which caused him to gain a lot out of it.
Rae also learned to use his demon powers in more flexible manner. Earlier, his only focus was on suppressing his aura and not letting anyone know about his identity.
But unknowingly, just the charm in his eyes caused the veiled lady to stutter. She was flustered, just the look of his eyes was enough.
'Is this the place? How easy it would have been if I could meet a guy like Xavier again. Skipping all this trouble.' Rae was trying to look for the class where professor Natasha, his target, was supposed to give a lecture.
The academy was big and had many lecture halls which was equipped with various facilities, causing Rae to wander around.
...
"The news is true madam. He has indeed come back." The veiled lady entered the room and said to Alice. Alice was lying on a lounge, relaxed, and with a glass full of premium alcohol in her smooth hands.
"What is he upto then? Did you talk to him?" Alice instantly sobered up after listening to the words of the veiled lady. She had been waiting for the news of Rae's arrival.
Her thin transparent dress that she was wearing showed her nipples poking through her large breasts.
Alice looked vulnerable and did not bother to guard against the lady who had entered the room.
The various spy networks she knew were keeping track of that guy. They had informed her the moment they spotted Rae, and Alice immediately sent the veiled lady to check.
"I did. I reminded him of his mission. Also, I told him about the class today, Professor Natasha's class. He is going to attend it."
She recalled the conversation she had with Rae. Except for the part where Rae asked her to come along and she got flustered from the invitation, she mentioned everything else.
"It's good that he spent some time outside the academy. Many of the nobles are trying to reach him, and they have not yet calmed down." Alice made a remark.
She knew that if Rae had not went on that mission and remained, he would have been flooded with the invitations.
But now that he had come after almost two weeks, and reached the academy without causing any commotion, he would only be approached by the big players only.
"I wanted to meet him but it's better if he attends the class first. I would ask Serena to meet with him. She has a professor as a friend, and being a Viscount, it would be easy for her to meet him." Alice said
It was kind of prohibited for nobles to go to the academy, that too in case when they were going after one academy student who was a commoner.
Since Serena had connection, and she was the sponsor of Rae in name too, it would be much better for her to visit and have a talk with Rae.
"Let's hope that the other nobles take their time before reaching out to him." Alice sighed as she leaned back again, her thin robe dishevelled, revealed her beautiful skin.
From the neck to her belly button, the dress of hers was parted from middle and showed her elegant body.
"But isn't our main opponent the king's side? The other nobles anyways won't interfere." The veiled lady asked in confusion.
From what she knew, the only party that could counter their strength was the king's side, the unofficial coalition of nobles who were always against her master, the queen.
She was one of the queen's person attendant, and she knew a lot of insider information.
"That's true. But that is in case of normal affairs. This guy Rae though, he is someone whose aid would let a noble become Count."
Alice explained to the veiled lady in leisure.
There were two scenarios in which the nobles did not bother with the affairs. First, in the case they knew that there was no hope.
Second, in the case they knew that the opponent would be someone of higher hierarchy and participating would cause them to offend the other party.
In their current scenario, the nobles would still try to tempt Rae because he is associated with an Earl, and an Earl is not that big of a position in the kingdom.
Also, there are many more nobles, from the king's side that will try to chase Rae. The one who is able to recruit him first would be able to become further close with the king, and strengthen their position in the court.
The past two weeks, she herself had been approached by many nobles.
...
"Oh... I was supposed to attend the class. It seems I have entered the wrong room." Rae muttered as he glanced at the class which he thought was classroom, but there was this one lady who was semi naked and working on something.
