Entering the World of Cerpenes

Maaf

"I can't believe you spent a month just learning to read," The woman took out the parchment from the desk drawer and wrote something. “I think the grandson of Duke will be different, it turns out the same.”

“Excuse?” Viona refrained from swearing. The woman's words were disrespectful to someone newly met. Even if Viona hadn't fully understood the nobility's etiquette, she was sure that the person before her was not polite at all.

“Oh, you heard it huh?” the woman chuckled softly. “You are slow, but I appreciate your interest in magic.”

The woman continued, “after all not many are interested in this field.”

‘Ctak!’

A moment after he flicked his finger, the parchment on the table burned black flames. Seeing the real black flames made Viona astonished as well as vigilant.

Their eyes met and a moment later the woman chuckled.

Viona's getting restless. What's so funny?

"Please sit down, do you like tea?" said the woman with a friendly smile on her face. His voice now sounded soft and comfortable. Not high-pitched nor does it sound low.

It was like a melody of relaxation music. It was just that her gentle voice did not make Viona sleepy. Compared to sleepiness, the girl felt calmer.

When Viona regained her senses, she was already sitting opposite the woman.

“Viona Liez,” the woman sipped her tea silently with her eyes glued to Viona. “Someone you want to ask?”

“Ya,” Viona is already quieter so can observe around, “Why am I here, can you explain it?”

Looking at the interior of the room, it seemed like this was an office space. Black workbench and chair with flower engraving, dark blue table lamp coated in gold pattern, old books lined in the closet, the, as well as a green whiteboard with a scrawl formula in the corner of the room.

"Of course,” put the cup on the coaster, the woman crossed her legs above the knees.

“Hm. You passed the prerequisites and were brought here? That's.”

Viona looked at the woman confused. What say? How is that called explaining?!

“What conditions?”

“Ck! Why are you so slow? Pre-sha-rat, you graduated and were brought here. Easy right?”

Viona thought for a moment to understand the woman's vague speech. It seemed that the woman did not want to explain further so Viona had to think for herself the answer.

The only prerequisite Viona could think of was the magic prerequisite. It was reading a magic book. He had already smoothly read the magic book even though he did not understand what the book contained.

The thing that happened before Viona was in this place was Nana. The girl read the pattern on Nana's body then suddenly the body of the navy bird exploded and the environment turned into this place.

“You sent Na-I mean that navy bird?”

The woman suddenly jumped up and approached her face. Viona backed off and felt uncomfortable. “Fast! Finally you understand also.”

Upon closer inspection, Viona saw the woman's upper ear pointed upwards. “Peri?” muttered Viona quietly.

The woman's smile widened, “Oh, you can see my illusion too. Very good,” finally the woman stood firm. Both hands are crossed. “I am Shona Minerva, from today I will be your guide in the field of magic. Welcome to join, man.”

Viona had seen the name in one of the magic books she had read.

Minerva Tribe. The winged elf with the most beautiful voice of all the fairies in this world. The tribe has two groups, the warlike Minerva and the peace-loving Minerva.

The first Minerva was always on the border line of the Kimkha kingdom. They are ready to take up arms for war. They were ruthless towards the enemy even himself, there was no word of surrender in their dictionary. Attacking the enemy to the point of the final blood was considered an honor.

While Minerva the rest are scholars or artists. They focus on learning magic, nature, and beauty. Solving problems by thinking critically and spending time studying nature is a beauty they believe in.

Looks like Shona belongs to the last group.

Viona got up from her seat. The woman before him was disrespectful, but at least he did not mean to be evil.

“Please help, guru.”

“No no,” Shona resists firmly, “call me sister Shona.”

Shona's face looks upset when Viona calls her teacher.

“I feel like I am old when I am called a teacher, after all everyone in this academy is not happy with that call.”

Viona felt she had experienced this.

Brakk!

The door of the room opened forcefully causing a loud bang. A man rushed in and pulled Shona's collar. His face was shrouded in vexation at the thing that made him go to this place.

Oh, true. The man also asked her to call brother. That familiar feeling is not wrong.

“I know you're crazy! But kidnapped a noble..” Elvo knocked Shona's forehead with his free hand, “your brain has been sold where hah!”

Shona looks resigned. Maybe not too much care? The woman covered her ears casually and took Elvo's anger for granted.

“Ya... relax Elvo.”.

“How can I calm down! Where did you bring it, say!”

Removing one hand from the ear, Shona pointed at Viona's whereabouts with her index finger.

Then Elvo's head turned to follow that direction. Found a stunned Viona and smiled awkwardly.

‘So I'm the nobleman they talked about, haha.’ Viona thought to herself in heart.

Elvo releases her grip from Shona. He sighed furiously and then rubbed his face rough.

“Excuse our rudeness, Lady. I'll receive your arrival correctly later,” Elvo said as he lowered his head.

Despite having been in this world for more than a month, Viona still felt uneasy seeing the person older than her bowing down for her. “Ti-it's okay, Brother.”

“No, it's my fault for not properly watching.” His eyes glinted furiously towards Shona, “return him to his house.”

“Heee... instead she wants to learn magic? Why not just start?”

“You want to die, ha?!”

“Ck, all right. I get it,” Shona sneered in annoyance. Even so, he had to obey Elvo, the principal of this academy.

Elvo breathed a sigh of relief. Shona's been taken care of, now he's turned to Viona.

“You may be surprised, I'm really sorry. I'll immediately send an official apology to your home, then I'll send you an official schedule of new student admissions. Until then arrives, I beg your patience to wait.”

Viona nodded, “Good.”

“Then,” Elvo glanced at Shona. The woman prepares to send Viona back to her home.

Viona remembered something, “Wait a minute, Sister. Something I want to say.”

Elvo looked at Viona, waiting.

Viona had already thought about this, she promised to apologize to Elvo when they met again. And this is a good opportunity.

The girl remembered that her first impression of Elvo was not good. Britta also said that Elvo does not like nobles because of their arrogant attitude. It was also the basis of Elvo did not accept all noble disciples in his academy.

It was possible that Viona was already considered a proud noble by Elvo because she did not listen to his orders. It was for Viona's own good.

Viona felt sorry.

Somehow Elvo still accepted him as a student at the academy. Viona did not want any feelings of guilt to block her every memory of it. Therefore she ventured to apologize.

“Previous..” Viona lowered her head, “sorry I did not obey sister's orders. Whatever the reason, I shouldn't have opened my eyes when I moved.”

Silent.

Viona raised her body slightly and was shocked. Why is Elvo's face flushed?

“Eum. Yep! It's good you realize your mistake, right! That's a good move, Lady!”

Smile on Elvo's tired face, “See you later, Miss Viona.”

Like a virus, that smile made Viona smile. “Good, Brother Elvo. See you around. Brother Shona also.”

Viona waved at them. Then the same feeling as he moved to this place appeared. This time Viona did not panic and closed her eyes calmly. Waiting for the wind to subside.

The familiar surroundings were now visible as he opened his eyes.

Viona sighed.

“I'm back to my room.”
