Chapter 83: Exposed [2]

[Lucas Darkhart, this is your homeroom teacher Lillian Ashbourne. You have to head to the headmaster's office right now.]

Now, what I'm going to do about this?

What else? Since it's a direct order from the headmaster I have to go.

I got up from bed and started to walk toward the door of the infirmary.

-Click

Just as I opened the door I got to see Evelyn standing in front of the door.

I stared at her and she did the same.

-khuk!

After an awkward staring competition, I let out a fake cough.

"Ah, L-Lucas where are you going?" Evelyn said as she tried to hide a small blush on her face.

"Headmaster's office, apparently she called me there," I replied to her, trying to end this awkward situation we were in.

"I see."

"So could you please move away from the door?"

"Ah, OK." realization settles down on her face she hastily moves away from the door.

After she moved away, I started to walk in the direction of the headmaster's office but just as I had taken a few steps, I stopped and looked back and saw that Evelyn still standing there.

"Evelyn!" Evelyn turned toward me, with a confused expression on her face.

"What is it?"

"Oh, well. I just wanted to say thank you."

A smirk came to her lips at my words. She took a few steps towards me and soon she was standing very close to me.

"what thanks? Can you please say it properly Lucas?" Evelyn said we were so close that I could feel her breathe.

Blood started to rush down my face as I found myself suturing.

"Well, I j-just wanted to t-thanks for believing m-me and what you did for me that's all."

She took a few steps back and nodded her head.

"As long as you know that, it's fine and you owe me one Lucas."

I just turned around in a hurry and started to walk again.

"I know that."

***

Hera Longbern, the headmaster of Nova Academy, is known as the silent witch. Her speciality uses silent magic and Her sword art is also the silent type of sword art.

She is important in the Novel, as she defended thousands of Heroes in the war against cursed-type demons but in the end she died but not before taking the life of the curse demon.

She also becomes a master of Adrian in the future taking him under her wing.

Despite having a system Adrian doesn't have anyone to teach him something out of the scope. So when Hera offers him to become her disciple he agrees on it.

After becoming her disciple Adrian learned many new things and later Hera became Adrian's mother figure.

Things going well for him until Hera died of course. After losing his master Adrian becomes a beast with whiteout and no self-control.

All in his mind was to kill, he killed those people who sent her alone to fight against the cursed demon, He killed every traitor, he just wanted to end all of this.

He was at the end of his rope, he had lost all hope, and he just wanted to die and even tried to kill himself but was saved by Emma.

After that, he began to form his party members And most of the people joined him too.

That much impact Adrian felt after losing his master Hera Longbern.

'But this is all in future, there is nothing to worry about now.' I thought as I soon reached the office of the Headmaster.

Outside of the office, Miss Lillian was standing, most likely waiting for me.

As soon as I reached her I asked the question that was inside of my head since I got the message.

"Miss Lillian, I will not become a lab rat won't I?"

Her eyes winded at my words, and she placed one of her hands on her mouth and giggled.

"ku, ku, ku, No Lucas; Headmaster will not do anything like that, she will just ask you some questions about the incident that's all."

Hearing this made me feel relieved but also anxious.

"What will she ask me?"

Miss Lilian stopped laughing and looked at me with very serious eyes.

"I think, you are already aware of what she is going to ask you."

Yes, I already know what she is going to ask me, and I'm prepared for it too. I just wanted to confirm with Miss Lillian that's all.

I just nodded at Miss Lillian's words, confirming to her that I knew what she was going to ask.

After a few seconds of silence, Miss Lillian spoke.

"Let's go in,"

She moved to open the door. But I stopped her.

"Shouldn't we knock first?" I asked.

Miss Lillian looked at me with a hint of sympathy. "You're so innocent," she murmured.

'I'm not innocent, I just have a basic manner that's all.' I thought to myself.

Miss Lillian knocked on the door, and a pleasant voice called out from inside. "Who is it?"

"It's me," Lillian replied casually as if it was a regular occurrence.

"Ah, it's you. Then, come in," the voice replied.

Lillian gestured for me to enter the office, but she remained outside like a statue.

"Aren't you coming in, professor?" I asked her m.

Miss Lillian shook her head, indicating that she would wait outside.

"Nope. She asked for you, not me, so you should be inside Lucas" Saying that Miss Lillian left.

"Oh, boy. Hello there," I heard the charming voice of a woman.

As I turned my head, I caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure behind a curtain. Even from the silhouette, it was clear that the person was a stunning beauty.

"Sorry, I was a bit distracted," I apologized, " Hello. My name is Lucas Darkhart. I am a freshman and from [1-Hero-1] class."

I introduced myself. Even though I was dazed by the beauty of the Hera I somehow controlled myself.

"Hello... I am Hera Longbern The headmaster of this Academy." The woman behind the introduced herself.
