43 Academia II

All the instructors had gathered at the Magic Academy after all the tests were finished. "Were they truly amazing? The Magi's grandchildren."

"Both boys are incredible. First is Shin, whose attack almost destroyed the practice field due to the suppressed magic he tried to unleash casually. As for Ryu, it was a bit different. He also destroyed all the targets, but the crucial point is that his attack didn't affect anything else. It seems he has excellent control over his magic."

"So, they are that powerful?"

"Yes, and they both shot instantly without any incantations."

"I wonder, is there anything we can teach them? Actually, I want them to teach us," someone said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"The same goes for me. First of all, His Majesty asked us to accept him into this academy to learn about human relationships. During class time, we can ask him to be a role model for everyone, and after that, we can create a research room for that purpose, gather people there, and teach him about human relationships. Wouldn't that be fine?"

"Oh, that's a good idea. If it's in a research room, it wouldn't be strange for us to come and go."

"You're right. Then, let's move in that direction."

"Agreed. By the way, what will happen to the admission rankings?"

"I have also seen the written exam. Although it is still being corrected, it seems he scored almost all the points."

"If that's the case, then with this..."

"Yes, well, with this, the 'First-Year Student Representatives' have been decided. Although it's the first time there are two of them, it seems many surprises may happen in the coming years."

.....

In the following days, while the results were not yet announced, I took the opportunity to go out with the girls. They got fond of Yuki, but he didn't let them pet him much because he always cleaned himself whenever someone other than me touched him. He's like one of those compulsive clean freaks.

At night, I dedicated myself to train some abilities that I still can't fully comprehend or control. I also practiced my sword skills by sparring with Kurogami.

So the days went by until the time finally came to see the results. I went to check them a little earlier than the others, as I had decided to see them with Secily and Maria.

When we arrived and started looking at the list, I wasn't very surprised since I knew I would be in the first place. However, what surprised me was that there were two people in that position, my brother and me.

It was a bit strange because I never thought they would leave two people as the top position. After that, we went to get our uniforms, and as I had anticipated, I would be one of those giving a speech. I can't say I'll be completely happy about it since in my past life, I never liked speaking in public. But now things are very different, and I have to do things I never imagined in my previous life.

On our way back, we happily strolled around with the girls. When we were at a shop, I saw both Prince August and Shin going to school to check their grades, so I decided to tease them a bit.

"I'm glad to meet you, August, as you are my first friend my age, not counting my brother, but he's always busy with his own stuff, so we can't talk much sometimes," said Shin.

"The same applies to me... It seems we are like two peas in a pod," August replied.

APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE!

"Bravo!"

"I've never seen such a touching scene."

"Please invite me to your wedding, and don't worry, I won't judge you. Everyone should love whoever they want."

"If in the future, you need to secretly escape the kingdom to be happy together, I'll help you."

"Shin, your brother supports you no matter what."

As I spoke, I acted dramatically, even shedding some fake tears.

I could see both of their faces change drastically; they seemed angry, but I didn't really care because it was quite funny.

"Shin, I really want to punch your brother. Can I do it?" August said.

"Don't worry, it's normal. I want to punch him too," Shin responded.

Seeing what both of them wanted to do, I quickly escaped from there, as my objective had been achieved.

"Damn, he left quickly," August commented indignantly.

"Don't worry; we'll see him again in the future. Let's continue on our way to check the exam results," said Shin, while August nodded and followed him.

As for me, I quickly returned to where the girls were.

"Where were you?" Maria asked.

"Don't worry, I had to take care of something, but it's done now," I replied.

Both girls didn't think much of it and continued looking at the things being sold in this place. The afternoon passed, and I enjoyed walking with them. But in my mind, I was thinking about Yuri because I'm happy to see her again soon. She's a very important person in my heart due to many things that happened about 17 chapters ago.

...

When I got home, Shin was talking with our grandparents. He seemed disheartened, and not only were they there, but Uncle Diss was also at home.

"What's wrong, Shin? Why are you feeling down? Did you and August fight? Don't worry; it's normal sometimes," I said jokingly.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Ryu?" Shin quickly responded.

"Don't say foolish things, Ryu, and if you continue, even though you're very powerful, I'll take care of you," August replied.

"What's going on? Ryu, why are you bothering your brother and August?" Grandma Melinda scolded me.

"It's not what you think. It's just that Shin and August wanted to run away together from the capital to be together. As for me, I'm just supporting them," I said seriously.

After I finished speaking, there was an eerie silence.

"Shin, is that true?" Grandpa Merlin asked.

"August, you're crazy!! You have a fiancee; you really disappointed me. At least you should be honest with her. Besides, what you two want is impossible..." Uncle Diss said seriously.

Both Shin and August couldn't believe that everyone thought what I was saying was true. Without thinking twice, they started attacking me while yelling at me, and of course, I was laughing and dodging their attacks.

"Hahaha, why are you attacking me when you can finally make it public?" I said while escaping.

"Don't say foolish things, Ryu. Just wait until I catch you; you'll pay for this," Shin yelled.

"It's a capital offense to make accusations against the prince of this kingdom. Stay still, and I'll enforce the law," August shouted.

The people around who saw us understood what was happening, so many sighed with relief, seeing that there was nothing inappropriate going on between them, and that it was just me being silly. They watched us, laughing.

"Merlin, it seems your eldest grandson likes to play pranks, hahaha," Uncle Diss said, laughing.

"Ah... That boy has always enjoyed teasing his brother. At least it seems he has a very good opinion of August to want to play pranks on him," Grandpa Merlin replied.

Some time passed, and we decided to stop since the boys were tired. I, on the other hand, had no problem, but I decided to stop with them because it was fun.

"Ryu, just wait until I rest, and you'll pay for this," August said, with little energy left.

"Yes, brother, just wait," Shin supported him.

"Look at them, it seems like they are made for each other. Just make sure to invite me to the wedding in the future," I continued teasing them.

Both of them decided not to pay attention to me since they were too tired from chasing me for so long. They remained silent for the rest of the time.
