One of the students in the F-class was Dray. He was a simple-looking boy with black hair and black eyes. He has been in this school for two years now but he was still unable to improve his skills to the next level. Most of the other students looked down on Dray because he was still an F-class!
No one else knew it, but Dray had a seal placed on his body to block his power. He wouldn't be able to remove the seal until he was eighteen years and all of the power he has been getting till now was only being stored inside the seal. When the seal breaks, Dray knew he should jump straight into the S-class or even higher! But if he releases the seal before he becomes eighteen then he could die from the influx of excess power. He had to be careful till then.
So, for now, Dray was being looked down on by everyone in his class. He was the only person that has been in the f class for two years and so they all thought he was useless. But Dray didn't even care about them! Right now, Dray was looking out the window and staring at someone training on the field.
Her name was Willow. She was an S-class magic swordsman and the pride of the Aquinas mage academy! Her sword skills were flawless enough to even rival a knight that trained in the Uta academy, and her magic power was also top-notch! Dray was watching as Willow used ice magic. This was Willow's primary element. Her entire family was filled with ice magicians so it was expected that she will also be good at ice magic! Her entire body was releasing a white fog as she slashed her sword through the air to send icicles flying at some dummies in the distance! The entire ground in front of her froze over and Sharp icicles flew out of the ground and pierced all the dummies at once! Willow breathed out calmly and looked up when she felt like someone was watching her.
Her eyes met with Dray's and she blinked calmly at him. Dray didn't look away, instead, he kept his eyes on hers for as long as possible. She was very beautiful and her white hair and ice-blue eyes just made her look like an angel. But Willow finally looked away when she saw an instructor coming to congratulate her. She happily accepted the congrats and praises and thanked him when he told her that she would make a great mage. Yeah, I know. I've been told that all my life.
Willow looked up at Dray again once the instructor was gone but she didn't see him there anymore. She frowned and started to walk into eh main building. She managed to get herself freshened up quickly before she went out to look for him. He wasn't in his class or her class, but she finally found him sitting on a grassy hill behind the school. Willow stood a few meters away from him and the wind blew through and made her hair flutter.
"Should you even be here? The school will go crazy if they see the ice queen hanging out with a weakling like me,"
Willow frowned before she huffed! She moved closer to Dray and planted herself right in between his legs before resting her back on his chest. Dray laughed before wrapping his hand around her waist. His girlfriend was so impatient.
"I thought you said we wouldn't act like this when we're near the school?"
Dray said this while resting his head on her shoulder. Willow frowned deeper as she remembers how they decided that. Willow has known Dray since they were children and they have always hung out together. Willow was the only person other than Dray's family that knew about Dray's seal and she knew that if he unlocks the seal he would be as strong as her. But for now, they had to stay like this because he didn't want anyone finding out about their dating. Dray wasn't liked in school and it was obvious that the students might even start to bully him if they find out that he is dating her. So he decided to wait until he could protect himself properly before revealing it."I wasn't the one that came up with that stupid rule. You were. And we're not in the school right now. Let's just stay like this for a while,"
Willow said this to Dray and he smiled as he just tightened his hold on her waist and hugged her more. These were the moments that he loved the most. When the two of them could just hang out together and not worry about all the nonsense pressure that the school was putting on them.
But after some time, Dray finally reminded willow that they were supposed to go into the citadel today. The priestess, Freya was giving a talk and the administrator wanted all of the students to listen to it before they have their final exams. The two of them had to be there since no one was exempt from it. And even if they weren't mandated to go, they would have still gone they loved the priestess!
Willow stood up with a sigh before helping Drey to his feet. She looked around to make sure there weren't any students around before leaning in to kiss him. Dray smiled at her once they separated and then waved as she ran back to school so people wouldn't see the two of them coming in together. He really wished this seal would break already! He only had one more month before the seal would be gone so he could wait till then.
....
The priestess, Freya was seen as the pinnacle of all that is holy in the kingdom of Aquinas. Her defensive magic was able to protect the kingdom of Aquinas from hoards of demons when the demon lord attacked a long time ago and she was also involved in taking down the demon lord. The people of Aquinas would always gather every month to listen to her speech and receive blessings from her.
Right now, Freya was sitting inside her office and signing some papers. She had a frown on her face as she thought about what happened a week ago. It appears that the demon king came back and for some reason, Priscila believed that it was actually the hero that became the demon king. What nonsense! Freya hates that woman for what she forced Freya to do, and now Pricilla is trying to come back into her life again!?
Freya still remembered what happened when Pricilla came here. Once they were in the office together, Freya was just one moment away from stabbing that fucking princess in the eye with a pen! She glared at Pricilla and asked her what the fuck she wanted.
"I see you've not changed that attitude at all. I pity the boys that fantasize about you in their dreams. They'll probably die of grief if they knew your real personality,"
Freya glared with a sneer
"Fuck you."
