Chapter-7

1.5K+ reads....I am speechless. When I started writing this story I did not think that it would have this much potential.

Edited

I stood in front of the Royal Magic Academy. The story did describe the school as big but it was a freakin city. One could easily get lost among all those pathways and corridors.

I knew where my class was thanks to Reebell's guidance. Knights in black and white uniforms were scattered all over the place.

Since the academy was attended by royals and children of dukes, royal knights were also stationed in different areas.

When I entered my class there were a few students present who were chatting and gossiping among themselves. Issac was not there yet. As soon as I got in the chatter stopped and everyone looked at me. I didn't like being the center of attraction and I quietly went to my seat which was in the far back near the window.

Nice!!! I always wanted one of those window seats but was never assigned one in my previous life.

I quickly went there and sat down. I gazed out of the window. My class was on the fourth floor so the view was very nice. I could see the big garden with many different colors of flowers in it. Soon the bell rang and people started pouring in. I saw Issac and some other guy come in together. They gave me....you know what....scratch that.....everyone gave me dirty look before going to their seats. But guess what bishes....I couldn't care any less.

Soon the teacher came in and everyone looked up. She was a middle-aged woman with short black hair reaching her shoulders and big brown eyes. Her eyes held adoration and excitement. Anyone could tell she loves children and her job a lot. She was one of the very few teachers who didn't hate Alex. She even tried to change Alex's bad attitude.

"Today, I will introduce you to a new student. Everyone, welcome Lawrence Rhyes." Ms.Abigail said and on cue Lawrence entered.

"I know it is mid-term and you all have already made friends but please make him feel welcomed." She smiled.

Lawrence's eyes ran over the whole class searching for something or rather someone. His eyes stopped on me and he smiled slightly.

"You can sit next to Paul." Ms.Abigail said. On hearing this Lawrence looked a bit sad. I don't know why he is sad.

"Ok everyone! Today we are going to continue what we did in the last class." Ms.Abigail teaches myths and history. It included the history of the empire and all the myths that go around.

"As I said last time today we are going to learn about fairies." My ears perked up when I heard that. Fairies are a myth???? Does that mean I have a personal mythical creature as my pet!???

"I am not your pet. Get that through that thick skull of yours." Reebell as always appeared out of nowhere. It seems he also wanted to hear what people thought about his kind.

"According to many ancient scriptures, fairies are considered as envoys of gods. They can talk to gods and then relay his intentions to us." She said.

"That is true. Though not all of us talk to god. Only the elder fairy can do that. Then she tells the god's will to the council of fairies who later distributes the tasks to other fairies who carry out the tasks." Reebell said cross-legged in the air facing the teacher and nodded his head listening very carefully.

"They are like faithful servants." Ms.Abigail continued.

"That is not true." Reebell suddenly stood up angrily. I could see the veins popping out of his head. He then turned to me.

"We have an employee-employer relationship. God gives us tasks and we complete them. In return, God helps us to maintain our species." I smiled seeing Reebell explain stuff with his hands moving frantically.

"They appear angelic and have tiny bodies. These tiny creatures mostly live a secluded life. No man was ever able to find the habitat of fairies but we do have pieces of evidence that they are real and live among us." I looked at Reebell who has turned back to face Ms.Abigail.

Is it possible that there are other fairies around me but I cannot see them? If that is true then why can I see Reebell?

"But BEWARE. Although the chances are very low, but if you ever come across a fairy then run for your life. They may be small but they have enormous powers since they are blessed by the gods themselves. They are clever and can trap you in their magical arrays and keep you there forever for their entertainment." I saw some students shiver when she said that. I kept a hand over my mouth and tried to stop myself from laughing when I saw the expression on Reebell's face. He looked scared and confused and angry at the same time.

"Only the elder fairy is directly blessed by gods. But it is true that we are strong and can trap people in our arrays. The information that humans have about us is messed up. They should research more before writing books about us." He again turned around explaining frantically.

The whole lecture she went on and on about fairies and cunning traps while I was trying my best to not laugh. He heard what the teacher had to say and then turned around to explaining it to me.

The next class was advanced maths. I saw an old looking man enter. He had dull brown eyes and black hair. According to Reebell, he is one of the teachers who doesn't like Alex and would often humiliate him in front of the whole class just to gain favor from other children who had parents in high positions.

He gave me a dirty look as soon as he entered the class. At this unprofessional behaviour I lost interest in even trying to learn from him and decided to ask Reebell some questions that had been bugging me.

'When you first met you that the gods didn't want me to die. What did you mean?' I said in my head.

Reebell looked up from his sitting position and looked at me incredulously.

'You thought about that now!!!'

'I had been thinking about it for some time now. Just answer me.'

'Yes! It's true. The council told me that you were not supposed to die. I don't know much about it but my guess is that your brother Victor should've died not you.'

Victor!!! He would have died if I didn't take his place. If that is true then i am glad that its me. Now Victor can do his police work without any restrictions. But I miss him a lot. After mom and dad died in a plane crash he was the only one who took care of me. He was the overprotective older brother who didn't let me work even after I completed my studies. He used to say that it was dangerous and someone as cute and delicate as me shouldn't work.

Fuck cute and delicate. It was obvious that he didn't let me go to work was because of the dangerous project that he was involved in. It was also the reason why he taught me how to fight to compensate for my lack of strength due to my small body with agility.

He was stupid and idiot and weird but he loved me and I loved him.

'Reebell, is it possible for me to go back to my world?' I asked quietly.

He looked at me and his face fell. He also looked sad. Reebell may sometimes act spoiled and arrogant, but he was a cute fairy and an amazing friend.

He shook his head.

'Then can I meet Victor one last time? Please....' I pleaded desperately.

'Look, you are dead in your world. Any contact with a living person from another world is forbidden.'

My heart sank. I just wanted to make sure that he is fine.

Suddenly another thing popped in my mind.

'Do I have some powers? All those who reincarnate have some sort of amazing powers right!!!' I was excited.

'I don't think you do. Your soul doesn't even belong to this world.' My heart sank again.

'But I can help you.' Reebell said proudly.

'What do you mean?'

'I am a fairy so I can control plants. And by the blessing of the elder fairy I can let you borrow that ability for a limited period of time everyday. But before that you must train your body and learn to slowly control it before I can let you use it freely.'

Well looks like I have another task added to my to-do list.

"ALEXANDER VON HESLING" A loud voice startled me and I looked up. Everyone in the class was turned towards me. Looks like I have been zoned out for a long time.

"Since you have so kindly graced us with your mental presence would also be kind enough to answer this question."

I looked up to find a question written on the board.

4(3x-9)=0

This is very easy.

(A/N: I changed the question because everyone kept saying that it was hard. So that's why the comments might not make sense. But the ques was not hard. Believe me. It's not my fault I am the smartest of the group *sassy hair flip*)

Alex already started solving the question in his head. He was so engrossed that he did not hear it when the teacher told him to use the abacus. He also did not notice the other students who were ready to laugh because they thought that Alex would not be able to solve it since the question was a senior-level question.

"3" I said without missing a beat.

Silence dawned upon the class. The teacher was left speechless. Suddenly the bell rang indicating it was lunchtime. The silence in the room was uncomfortable so I quickly picked my bag and left before anyone could say anything.

I decided to go to a quiet place to set my mind straight. I have been in this world for some time now but today is the first day I felt so hopeless.

I would not be able to see my brother ever again.

The thought was going through my head over and over again and I felt like I was about to cry.

I decided to go to the rooftop since in animes it is usually defined as a desolate place that the heroine uses as her hideout. But since the FL is not here yet then the rooftop must be empty.

I opened the door to the roof and cold air hit my face. It was refreshing and nice. I sat on the floor near the barred edge. Vera packed homemade lunch for me. I can think about stuff later. Right now food is more important.

I was about to take a bite of the delicacies when the door opened with a loud bang which made me almost drop my whole lunchbox.

Who dares mess with my food???

I stood up and looked at the person who entered in such a mannerless way. As soon as I looked at the person I stopped in my tracks. The boy in front of me had distinctive red hair and a gentle smile. I knew in an instant who he was.....

Jabari!!!!

Jabari was the most popular choice among the players of 'A Boundless Love'.

There were many reasons why he was such a popular choice. Jabari was the child of the emperor and the princess of a fallen kingdom who was taken hostage by the empire. His mother killed herself when he was three years old because she wanted to protect her remaining pride as a princess. He was left all alone. In terms of backstory, he was like Alexander. The only difference was that Jabari's family did not ignore him. He was mentally tortured by the family making him feel worthless. Being the child of a sinner (the princess who killed herself) he was often treated with hate even in school. Although he was a prince, his living conditions were worse than that of a child in the slums. The emperor and the empress did nothing to financially support a three year old child. He was only able to survive due to a man who owed his mother. The man provided him with financial assistance and became his mentor.

But there was a twist. That man was the leader of a famous mercenary group. He taught Jabari how to use different weapons, how to hide his emotions, how to lay low until it was the right time to attack. When the army of chaos attacked, the royal army failed to fight them. At that time Jabari revealed his true strength.

He brought up his own army that was smaller in number than the royal army but much more skilled. He was also able to persuade The demon king (who is known to be the only person who could fight the army of the dark head-on) to fight from his side. This increased his popularity and he finally killed the current emperor to crown himself. In his good end, he doesn't kill his brothers as the FL stops him from doing so and in the bad end, FL failed to persuade him, he kills his brother.

"Hello!! Are you okay? You look a bit pale." I heard him say as he came near me.

As soon as he started moving me I took a step back.

Jabari was also the one who killed Alex in the game. He didn't like the fact that although Alex was of common origin he was still able to live a carefree life and not have to worry about problems like self-safety and money.

"Why do you look so scared?" Jabari asked with worry in his eyes.

This is all an act. He should already hate me.

"I-i am fine." Something flashed in Jabari's eyes. I knew that instance that I was right. He hates me and is just acting. Because royal knights are all over the academy he doesn't let his guard down and always keeps up with his innocent and clueless boy act.

But according to the timeline, he should already have perfected his magic and should have a strong group of followers.

Jabari is the most dangerous character I knew.

"I never saw you before. Are you a new student?" He asked innocently.

He is lying. He knew about me even before I entered the academy.
