Chapter 44: Xyrus Academy (1/2)
"Wake up!" a shout pierced through s as Elijah oh-so-tenderly poundeda corpse
I threw the sleeping Sylvie at hiressive roommate
"Sylvie! It Hurts!" Elijah howled As expected,at Elijah's face until she calot to be a better way to wakeme Do you kno hard it is to wake you up? And you rewardSylvie at on forerly touching the shallow scratches that Sylvie had inflicted
"Anyways! We're going to be late if you don't hurry up and get ready I've already washed up so get your butt out of bed" Elijah stood on top of o wash up, Sylv!" I pretended to be excited as I grabbed my companion and headed over to the shower
'No! Papa, I don't want to shower! I'm cleaaan!' "Kyuuuu!" The desperate wails of Sylvie merely escaped out the other ear as I hauled her inside Sylvie now had fur, or very thin, long and soft scales that were very sinet, so washi+ng her more often had become a necessity
"Brother, are you awake?" Ellie opened the door as I was changing Elijah was at least fully dressed but I only hadbrother's awesome muscles?" I flexed my body in different poses
"E! All I see are skin and bones, Brother" She just shook her head, giving me a hard stare that seemed to question whether I was the same brother she so aduys to hurry up and get dressed so we can eat" Ellie closed the door behind her without waiting for a reply
I let out a sigh as I started buttoning row up too fast
The uniforms that Xyrus had sent us weren't too out of the ordinary For rey vest, awe tied around our necks underneath the collar, and a pair of tailored navy dress pants There was also a gold pocket watch attached to a chain onme a very scholarly look
Elijah's uniforn His black blazer had white tri, he wore a black square-end tie with one white stripe, indicating that he was a level one student With his white dress shi+rt underneath and a badge with a crossed sword and staff etched intricately over the breast pocket, he looked dashi+ng
Instead of the usual tools a conjurer carried, Elijah, instead, had fashi+oned a black two-part band on his index and ring finger These two bands were connected by a thin black chain, which gave hiothic look, especially now that he'd recently purchased new glasses that were a bit more fashi+onable He made it pretty clear to irlfriend so he took great pride in how he looked, although he always grumbled on about how no matter how ave hi, but I took a enes later
Taking a good look at both Elijah and myself in the mirror, I could tell how much we'd o was now gone, ahim, which oddly contradicted his personality
As for myself, low, my hair a fiery auburn color that contrasted ith my eyes Bluish eyes and reddish hair made me realize how coincidental it all was What were the odds that ned with the two base elements I was most adept at? My facial features were a lot softer compared to Elijah's but while soft and kind, they also looked poised and elegant
I studied my face as if it weren't otten completely used to my appearance compared to the rather normal face I had in ht choice, Art? I can't believe you wanted to go in as a scholar e like ht black hair that he had was now shorter and styled to the side
"And I can't believe one of the e student was because it had cuter girls" I slapped hi him a perverted smile
"Shut up… Just watch The new and iirlfriend that can onlyone last look at himself Obviously satisfied by his appearance, he walked towards the door while I followed Sylvie hopping on top of rip, worrying ht bald preet ready! Who are you guys trying to ier at us while Tabitha, as in an apron
"Goodto be up onstage for the orientation since she's part of the student council She's probably nervous by now so make sure you cheer her on" Tabitha sat down across from us next to Mother and Ellie
"I see the both of you are wearing the necklaces I gave you," I noted while my mouth was still full of oatmeal and fruit
"Yup, ouldn't I when it's such a beautiful piece of jewelry? I wish your father had half the a with the Phoenix Wyrm ornament
"All my friends are jealous because of how pretty it is! Be sure to get s like these more, okay Brother?" Ellie leaned forward on her chair as she talked excitedly
"Sure," I dis like the pendant would actually cost
"Uo to school? I don't wantbecause of these cat scratches" Elijah turned his gaze to Sylvie who stuck her tongue out in reply
"Still fighting with Sylvie?" rinned "Come here and let me take a look at that" She placed a hand in front of Elijah's face and whispered a faint chant until a glow started eertips A few moments later, the small scratches on his face disappeared as Elijah let out a content sigh
"Thanks, Aunt Alice" Elijah leaned back in his chair and continued eating breakfast
My father ca fro down his face "Sorry I'm late for breakfast! I was in the erly sat down and looked at Elijah andto school I can't believe it Looks like we raised Arthur well, right honey?" My father smiled broadly
"What do you mean 'we'? I was the one that raised hiuess the only tiot into trouble then?" My father raised a brow
"As long as you know,"the whole table to chuckle
The only ones o to school a few days earlier since she had to do some work for the student council but Vincent had been e sail today
"I was pretty surprised when you said that you wanted to attend Xyrus as a scholardown his eggs
"Yeah, both are good choices but, in the end, battle hed Lilia was a battle reements from both Tabitha and Vincent The two of thee since it would be a lot less dangerous in the future but Lilia was persistent on eneral classes onwhenever I can to loosen my hting tactics," I chuckled
"Not much to learn… If any of the students heard you say that, you'd get beat up—no wait, if the could even beat you up" Elijah just laughed to hiht of the ht with ree, Arthur There arethat school You wouldn't want to create trouble for Tabitha's family," my mother chided, her face filled orry
