The Goddess and the Cursed Prince

02. Magic Academy and Trial Missions

After arriving at the kingdom, Ijima went straight into his room, after closing the door the girl grabbed a wooden box wrapped in purple cloth.

"Guhh..." There was a whisper from outside the window, Ijima hastily opened the window, a girl in black clothes jumped into Ijima's room.

"Where are you, princess? I was looking for you but the ladies said you were at a dinner party" said the girl in annoyance.

"Me and the father of Neoma kingdom, you know Anya? I'm getting married to Prince Chriss next month." Ijima sat on the bed with a wooden box in his hand.

Anya is a hunter who became her first friend as a child, so it's no wonder they are familiar.

Anya looked surprised, "What?! You're going to marry the prince? You know the prince has a curse."

"Curse?"

Anya nodded, "He could be a scary monster if his emotions overflow."

"What tragic fate did I foresee marrying a monster?" ask Ijima with an anxious look.

"You can reject it, Ijima," Anya said.

Ijima was speechless Anya said he could do, but he could not bear to refuse the request of his mother's father, "I can not refuse, I also do not want if the enemy father increased later."

"You think about everything, umm-what's that prince Shwan's box?" ask Anya.

Ijima nodded, he opened the box, there were two silver bracelets and a statue made of cold stone, the small statue was in the shape of a human body.

"seen? How romantic the prince was, "tease Anya while crossing her hands.

Ijima smiled, "If I hadn't whined to come along, maybe Prince Shwan still faithfully accompanied me to control the fire element."

Ijima was indeed almost in control of all the elements, only the fire element caused him trouble because the fire almost burned his right arm, that's why Ijima always used the royal robe.

Anya flicked the jidat Ijima was anxious, "I told you it was fate, you don't have to blame yourself."

"But it's my fault, Anya," replied Ijima who made Anya even more anxious.

"It's fate, whether you join the war if prince Shwan's destiny is only up to that line, yes everything is done" Anya explained.

Ijima smiled faintly, Anya always advises him if his feelings of guilt arise.

"It's like I have to go back, don't forget tomorrow we're going to the magic academy for the first time" Anya recalled before putting on a transparent face cover and then jumping out the window shrewdly.

"The magic academy..." Ijima took the silver bracelet and put it on, he still could not forget Shwan, his lover.

...👑...

The magic academy seemed crowded, the children who could attend school here were only from the upper caste class.

Ijima and Anya sat in the front seat, a man with an appearance similar to Anya passing through Ijima while glancing at the girl at a glance, he was like muttering but I don't know what.

"He's also a hunter" whispered Anya.

"You know him?" ask Ijima in a soft voice as well.

Anya nodded, "He's the adopted son of King Nakamura."

Ijima sculpting, Nakamura. That means he's Shwan's foster brother, Ijima looks back and sure enough that the man looks at him intensely, the girl wants to ask about Shwan's death, but the intention he undoes when Anya pats Ijima's shoulder.

Ijima. It turned out that next to them sat a pair of lovers who were none other than Chriss Kodama and Maki Nura.

She is Chriss's lover who is glorified by the man, her girl is indeed beautiful but Ijima feels something is not right from the girl.

"Why would King Oda marry you to a man whose heart is not for you?" mishik Anya was a little upset.

Ijima did not know what the purpose of his father and mother match him with Chriss, the girl sighed slowly.

Chriss glanced at Ijima from the corner of his eye, the man's hearing was sharp so Ijima's sigh made him wonder what the girl was thinking.

The man smiled and pinched his girlfriend's nose, "It's nothing, I'm sorry."

"Are you interested in princess Ijima?" maki asked with her face.

"Why like people who can't fight?"

"What do you mean, Chriss?"

Not until Chriss replied, a middle-aged man entered the classroom with several sheets of paper in his right hand.

"Good morning, this is your first day at the magic academy, introduce my name Riku, I am your homeroom teacher" Riku said.

All the disciples stood up and greeted, "Greetings, teacher." When they finished, they sat down as before.

"Well, I'll split up several groups to become partners during the mission." Riku started to open the paper he was carrying and then began to read it name by name, until Ijima's name was called.

"Four groups are Awldo Nakamura, Tsukasa, Ijima Ryoika, and Chriss Kodama,"

Ijima clucked bitterly because not a group with Anya, his best friend calmed Ijima by stroking the girl's back. The name continues to be mentioned and it turns out Anya is in group six.

"Teacher, may I be a group with Chriss," asked Maki who suddenly raised her right hand, the girl was upset that she was not a group with her lover.

Riku smiled meaningfully and then shook his head, "No princess, this group has been arranged by teacher Sam," explained Riku who made Maki sigh disappointed.

Sam was indeed a teacher at this academy, he refused to be heir to the throne because he wanted to live freely so the title of crown prince fell on Chriss. But because of the outrageous nature of Chriss, King Kodama was reluctant to give up the throne of his youngest son.

"Alright, you guys please gather with each group, I will test the cohesiveness of the team through this mission training," said Riku.

Getting their orders all moved and pasted the tables to each other forming a long row of four people each.

Chriss snorted as he sat next to Ijima, his dislike so intense that he made the man with the half-face cover tell Ijima to sit with him, until he sat between Ijima and Chriss.

"Greetings Miss, my name is Awldo Nakamura" whispered Awldo introducing himself.

"Na"

"I already know your name, miss Ijima," Awldo cut before looking straight ahead listening to Riku speak.

"Trial your mission is to retrieve the immortal gems that reside in the cave of bees." Riku paused his words, "Be careful of the guard bees in the cave," Riku recalled.

Riku looked at one by one his students, "There will only be one group that succeeds because the jewel is only one, compete healthy without any dispute, you can start now."

The students rushed out of the classroom, in front of the fourth group class was thinking how to get to the cave quickly.

"I don't believe in a team with princess Ijima" Tsukasa said happily and Ijima replied with a smile.

"Back to our discussion, I don't know where that place is" Awldo lamented.

Tsukasa patted the eel as if knowing something, "The cave is right next to the Horizon gate, otherwise it is surrounded by a ravine, hm-creepy," Tsukasa said.

"New trials have been as terrible as this," murmured Ijima worried.

Awldo nodded, he took out his air magic, the man told his team-mates to go up. The blue cloud flew very quickly, the scarf Ijima used to fly around here and there.

An exasperated Chriss immediately blocks the girl's shawl and pulls her loose, "Your shawl is very disturbing."

Kodama's descendants immediately burned Ijima's scarf and threw it away, Ijima was surprised instead of playing he stared in disbelief at Chriss.

"You! That's a scarf from Dayang Annie!" angry Ijima, whereas Dayang Annie made him stay up all night.

Chriss doesn't care one bit, all he has in mind is that whatever prevents him must be destroyed.

...I never considered you part of my life scenario....
