Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 179 - 172: Two New Students

The breaking dawn scattered the darkness, ushering a new day for the land.

The gentle rays of the rising sun peered their way through the light curtains and provided a serene light in the room.

Alex woke up, he was feeling refreshed.

ʼʼMorning master, how do you feel? Did you sleep well?” Silveria greeted him with a smile.

Smiling in turn as he could feel her concerns through the way she was looking at him. She must have stayed awake watching over all night.

ʼʼMorning, Nemesis. I slept well. Thank you.ʼʼ he said.

ʼʼGreat,ʼʼ Silveria said before leaving.

After taking bath and doing some light exercise, Alex decided to check his status.

Even though he had trouble remembering last nightʼs nightmare, no, he had the feeling that it was more than a nightmare. Maybe a premonition? He shuddered just by imagining this possibly.

ʼI need to get stronger to never experience the feeling of losing someone.ʼ he thought before thinking if it was a premonition than it related to my eye? He wondered before he decided to check his status and at the same time use the unused BP.

2nd Lock: Premonition: ???????? Sealed.

3rd Lock: Sealed]

ʼʼAs I thought. Why itʼs sealed?” Alex wondered.

〖Itʼs for the own good. Remember what you experienced last night. Your mental strength is lacking, the second seal is too strong for the current you. The true ability of the second seal itʼs not Premonition but prediction, the ability to predict your opponentʼs attacks to some extent.

Premonition is just a side effect and its apparition is random you canʼt trigger it, you canʼt control it.〗Silveria explained.

ʼʼI see. I need to become stronger Iʼm still too weak.ʼʼ Alex said thinking about how to quickly increase his strength. It was a good thing that he accepted the third princessʼs offer to escort her into the dungeon.

〖Itʼs good to think like that but you ought to know that you must not be too hasty. You should consolidate your current level, familiarize yourself with it to perfectly display your current level to its full capacity. Youʼre a brute diamond that needs polishing. Intense training is what you need at the moment, not a crazy leveling.〗Silveria suggested while licking her lips.

Alex shivered, however, he still accepted her suggestions, ʼʼI understand.ʼʼ

〖Great, we shall intensify the training a little starting from tonight.〗

Hearing the she-devil instructorʼs words Alex could only smile helplessly. He decided to switch the subject.

ʼʼItʼs you who sealed my eye?”

〖No, it wasnʼt me. Itʼs my Big sister.〗Silveria answered.

ʼʼI see. I must thank her later then.ʼʼ he decided.

Silveria did not say anything she only chuckled.

Meanwhile, in the black space, the woman chained against the obsidian throne titled her head to one side while wondering why would Alex thanks her?

Unaware of what happened after he said those words, Alex went to take a bath. After he finished, he joined his sister and Silveria to take breakfast before leaving for the academy.

•••••

Imperial Magic Academy, Alexʼs classroom.

Just after Alex and Gracier walked into the classroom, they did not have the time to properly greet their friends before Chris their teacher came in.

ʼʼGood morning everyone. Today, two new students will join us. Please come in.ʼʼ Chris announced.

Everyone was curious about the two newcomers, however, when they saw the persons who entered, they were surprised beyond belief. Especially, Alex, it was then he understood what she meant by ʼsee you tomorrow.ʼ

Two beautiful girls entered, it was Artemia, the third princess whose beauty was renown through the world and another great beauty not less than her, she had long black hair and purple eyes, it was unusual pair of eyes.

ʼʼIʼm Artemia Eretria Von Havens. You all know me but Iʼm not here as a princess but as a student so no need to act tense in my presence. Please take care of me.ʼʼ Artemia introduced herself with a smile.

Most of the menʼs eyes shone with the desire to possess this girl. Leonardo, Kevin, Dodolus, Damien, even Ferris were no exception. Only Alex and Leon did not react like the others. Not because they were not interested but because they knew how to control themselves.

After her introduction, Artemia exchanged a glance with Alex for a moment, her eyes seemed to be conveying ʼDidnʼt I say we will see each other?ʼ before selecting a seat in the middle.

Alex smiled not saying anything, this exchange goes unnoticed by most of the students, unfortunately, Leon saw it.

Nudging Alexʼs shoulder, Leon said, ʼʼBro, arenʼt you too quick? You just arrived and yet you are already acquainted with the third princess? Youʼre not to be underestimated.ʼʼ

Alexʼs lips twitched before explaining to him it was just for a mission, an escort.

ʼʼJust? Ah! I quit. You donʼt understand at all do you?” Leon said with a helpless sigh.

ʼʼUnderstand what?” Alex asked amused.

ʼʼWomanʼs heart, itʼs what Iʼm talking about. She must be interested in you to have specially chosen you over dozens of other excellent men. Donʼt get me wrong Iʼm not saying youʼre not excellent just youʼve not fully blossomed yet. There are stronger people than you, more fitting people than the current you. If she was not interested in you? Why would she select you over others?” Leon questioned.

ʼʼWho knows,ʼʼ Alex said not saying anything else. Alex couldnʼt tell him what the two talked about, it what a private matter. Not even the emperor and the royal family knows that Artemia was the reincarnated goddess of humans. She shared this secret with Alex because she wants to gain his trust, a solid and durable relationship is based on trust, itʼs what she thinks.

Sharp as he is, Leon knew that there was something his friend wasnʼt telling him. He could only sigh, it was understandable for Alex to behave like that, Leon would have done the same thing if he were in his shoes. He just has to earn his trust for him to share some of his secrets, some of his burden.

Leon couldnʼt deny that he had an ulterior motive approaching Alex, it is just that his motive was not something nefarious like plotting to use Alex.

Leon became friends with Alex because his intuition told him that by being beside Alex he will experience thrilling things, he wonʼt be bored, there will be a fight, being battle maniac there was no way he would let go of such occasion and above all his personality was compatible with Alex, Alex seemed to be the type of person unconcerned by his status.

ʼʼWho is the second beauty? Iʼve never seen her, nor heard about her.ʼʼ Leon said, switching the subject.

ʼʼI donʼt know either,ʼʼ Alex responded, his eyes zero in on the black-haired beauty with purple eyes. Somehow, he had the feeling that he knew this girl, that he had seen her somewhere. Unfortunately, he couldnʼt remember where it was no matter how hard he tried.

The black-haired girl with purple eyes advanced to introduce herself, her eyes were cold as ice, ʼʼMorning, Iʼm Lilith E. Astaroth.ʼʼ

It was all she said before sitting near Artemia, however just before sitting she looked in Alexʼs direction, her lips curled up into a grin just for a second before she returned to her cold persona.

Alex did not notice this as he was too focused on thinking about something at the moment, however, Artemia noticed it and she flicked Lilithʼs forehead, the latter glared at her as if she could not wait to swallow Artemia. Artemia giggled while Lilith harrumphed.

There was a commotion the moment Lilith introduced herself, her eyes aside, her family name was something most people heard about. The Astarothʼs Family, the current ruling family in the demon continent. Even though the demon and the rest of humanity were not at each other throats, nobody expects someone from the Astaroth Family to appear here, as student nonetheless, they were surprised.

People started wondering what she was up to? She seemed pretty close to the third princess and the latter did not show any repulsion being near her, she even flicked Lilithʼs forehead.

ʼWhat is their relationship?ʼ most people were curious.
