Augustus looked both stunned and in disbelief as he looked at Mars, then at Hanna

"but I never.... wait are you perhaps Hanna Orbrage?"

Hanna was a little surprised Augustus knew her full name and gave a nod

"yes that's my name your highness"

"I see..."

Augustus stroked his chin and remained silent for almost a full minute before he looked at Hanna and asked

"and who was it that demand this of you?"

"...I think his name is Victor, form the way he was acting I thinks he's the son a high ranking n.o.ble?"

"Victor..."

Augustus stroked his chin again and half a minute late his eyes lit up before he suddenly stood up and bowed down to Hanna

"I'm sorry this is all my fault"

""your highness!""

the so far silent people behind Augustus called out in alarm before they reached out and tired to stop him from bowing

"stop it you two, this is my fault!"

"but your highness ple--"

"stop bowing already"

"Mars?"

"explain if you want forgiveness, bowing comes after"

"yes you're right Mars..."

Augustus sat down again and after a little while did he begin speaking

"...Victor is the son of one of my fathers advisers and has been keeping me company since I began my study here at the academy, he mentioned about a month ago that one Hanna Orbarge was a rare lightning mage like me so I send him to befriend Hanna on my behalf he must have twisted my words"

"well he did seem rather... overbearing"

Augustus gave a bitter smile

"yes so therefor my orders, my responsibility"

Mars gave a sigh and looked at Hanna

"so what do you want to do, kill him?"

"kill him? Augustus?"

"yeah, don't worry you can pin it on me"

"YOU WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?"

discussing killing the prince didn't sit well with the female knight so she drew her sword and pointed it at Mars, but Mars just ignored her and looked at Hanna awaiting her decision

'well I might die once or twice but I'm sure I can make it out the country... maybe I could work something out with the elvers in the Mother forest?'

time seemed to slow to a crawl as Hanna was thinking, Ivan was pale and slightly shaking and the male mage advised Augustus

"your highness please take shelter!"

"no, I must take responsibility for this"

even as the prince tried to act mature Mars still felt his voice shaking slightly, actually the only calm person in the room was Mars, he was 98% sure he would survive even if s.h.i.+t went down even then dying once or twice was fine for him

"I... don't want him dead"

"well then that's fine too, what about Victor?"

"...let me handle him myself"

"okay, well then my businesses here is done"

Mars stood up form the couch and looked the people in the room as he undid his transformation making him look human again before he gave a light bow to the 3rd prince

"excuse me your highness I will take my leave first"

Mars turned and walked towards the door only to stop after a few steps and turn around again

"have any of you seen a black horned panther around...? no? okay"

Mars walked out of the room and left Ivan and Hanna behind

'what to do now..?'

Mars was a loss for what to do and decided to go and check out his new room, after walking for a few minutes he arrived at the dorm building and went inside

'its nice, but kinda pales in compression with the n.o.ble dorms....'

Mars walked though the nice dorm building and soon found room 202 and pulled out his key and unlocked the door

"....neat"

the room was indeed as Mars despised it a neat and homey apartment with a kitchen/living room that was furnished with a small table with 4 chairs along with a couch with a small table, walking around in the apartment Mars found it had 2 other rooms, a bedroom and a was.h.i.+ng room

"well this is nice... my luggage is here too..."

Mars sat down on the couch and started into the empty air for a few moments before he laid down in the couch and closed his eyes while he focused on the contract he had with Victoria and tired to sense her location

'she's close... in the next room?'

Mars sat up again and started at the right hand wall and clearly felt Victoria was behind the wall

'well I hope she's not in trouble...'

Mars got up from the comfortable couch and walked out his apartment and over to the room 203 and knocked on the door

'please don't be a weird neighbor...'

as Mars had some rude thoughts the door opened

"hey Mars"

"hey... Elsa"

the one that opened to door was Elsa which surprised Mars slightly

"surprised?"

"a little... but presently surprised... are you living here?"

Elsa gave a mischievous smile and leaned forwards slight

"why don't you come in and find out"

Mars followed after Elsa into the apartment and found it looked almost exactly like his own with a small kitchen/living room, inside the living room was Victoria she was laying on the couch sleeping as usual

'well I'm glad she's okay...'

now relieved that Victoria didn't get into trouble Mars spent a couple of hours talking, but mostly flirting with Elsa until it was late

"well I better get back to my own room now, the dinner was nice"

"okay then see you tomorrow Mars, you too Victoria"

"goodnight Elsa"

Mars and Victoria went back to their own room

"this is where we will live now Victoria"

"okay..."

Victoria went around and sniffed around in the room before she jumped onto the couch before she sat down and looked at Mars with her head tilted to the side as her horns flashed

"it's... the same... as Elsa's?"

"yeah it's pretty much the same, let's go to bed"

"okay"

Mars and Victoria went to bed snuggled against each other as the night pa.s.sed peacefully...

"hmm..."

Mars felt something hitting his face and opened his eyes

"...really?"

Mars looked in disbelief at Victoria's hind leg that somehow had gotten up and poked him on the cheek, she had somehow gotten herself turned around on the back with 3 of her legs in the air, the last one right up in Mars's face

"well it seems like it's morning anyway..."

Mars carefully lifted Victoria off himself and swung his legs over the side of the bed and looked out the small window up at the clock tower and saw the time was 7:24 AM

"...cla.s.s starts at 8"

Mars decided to get up and rose out of bed before he put on his clothes and his boots

"time to get going..."

Mars put on his mantel and walked out of the door and was about to lock the door when he remembered Victoria and walked back into the apartment and shock her slightly until she woke up

"Victoria I'm going now, do you want to come with me or stay here?"

Victoria stretched as she woke up and looked at Mars with her blue eyes

"I... want to go... with you"

"okay then let's go"

Mars walked out of the apartment again this time followed by Victoria and locked the door after himself before he walked out of the dorm building towards the cla.s.s room while he ignored the other students that looked at him weirdly

'I wonder what cla.s.s is going to be about today...'

Mars walked in the cla.s.sroom and found it empty

"well we're a little early..."

Mars found a desk in the front of the room and sat down while Victoria walked around the cla.s.s room and eventually jumped up on Mars's desk and laid down to sleep again, after waiting for a few minutes did the vice princ.i.p.al arrive and walked up to Mars's desk with a slightly stern face

"...what can I help you with vice princ.i.p.al?"

the vice princ.i.p.al gave Mars a stern look before she spoke

"yesterday you beat up a guard at the n.o.ble dorm right?"

"oh... yes I did"

looking at Mars's earnest face the vice princ.i.p.al gave a sigh

"want to tell me why?"

"because he was racist and called me a 'dirty non human' so I beat him up"

"...I see, anything else?"

"hmm... I went easy on him so he should live?"

the vice princ.i.p.al gave an other deep sigh and s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Victoria that was sleeping soundly on Mars's desk

"and who is this?"

"this is Victoria... Victoria say h.e.l.lo"

Victoria's horns flashed briefly right before shock appeared on the vice princ.i.p.al's face

"[Telekinesis]... to think a magic beast would know human langue..."

"yeah she's smart"

"I see... how did you tame her?"

"I didn't, I made a contract by mixing my mana with hers"

"you did what now!?"
