(EP-75.1) Fight #1
075 – Fight Of The Tigers #1
“Commoner, I’d like to invite you back to the mansion sometime. There is someone I want to introduce to you.”
After saying those words, Mirna Draco smiled and left.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief now that she was gone. That girl just came and went like a storm, out of my control.
“What was that?”
She not only exaggerated the fact that ‘I’ defeated Balan, she even announced to the public that I was trying to court her.
I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if this got into the ears of Aira or Elga…
But, I needed to do something first.
I took Aira, who was asleep in her room, to a Wednesday afternoon lecture.
“Today, I’m going to be teaching you how to get acquainted with your pets. With that said, did you all bring your pets?”
Professor Stella Belhawk said around the spacious training ground.
Like usual, she wore leather all over, and had something like an arm guard.
━Kkwiing-!
Perched on it was the blue eagle Tweety enjoying the passing breeze.
A professor who brought a bird to a lecture…
Then again, this was the ‘Training for Tamers’ lecture, so it wasn’t so weird.
In fact, not only Professor Belhawk, but all the students gathered here also brought their pets; ranging from dogs, hawks, wild boars to wolves. It was chaos.
━Grrr.
━Kongkong-!
━Kwiiying-! Kwiyiying-!
I found it hard to calm myself down, especially with my sensitive Half-Nymph ears. I was constantly being assaulted by animal noise in every direction.
━Garuru, calm down. Why are you so agitated?
━Grrrrrrrr-.
For some reason, it felt like that wolf was looking at me like I was some kind of drumstick. If it somehow got unleashed, wouldn’t it rush directly at me?
“Alright, alright, anyway. Show me the pet you brought.”
Professor Belhawk began to look through the students’ pets. She patted one on the head, saying, “Good hound. Is it a Houndbringer? How old is it?”
The students also took the chance to show off their pets’ skills and talents to the professor, trying to gain excellence.
There was even a fire-breathing lizard.
Hell, there were a number of strange and bizarre beasts, such as a bipedal wolf.
“Good, that’s great. Everyone’s in good shape. However, you cannot raise them in the dorms. Contact the management and settle them in cages.”
I felt nervous as Professor Belhawk approached me, since I didn’t bring any pets.
It was the same as when everyone had their homework checked, while you got nothing.
“Theo Gospel, did you not bring anything? Where is your pet?”
“Well, I don’t have any.”
The professor grumbled and looked displeased.
“Didn’t I tell you to bring pets to class? Why didn’t you even try to catch a wild pigeon? I’ll give you a deduction for non-compliance.”
“…….”
I could barely hold in a groan. Did they ever say to bring an animal to this lecture?
There was no such information in the neurons of my sensitive memory. It was clear that the information that should be conveyed to me went missing halfway.
“Make sure to bring one next time, do you understand?”
“… Yes, I’ll be careful.”
“Okay then, Queen Aira. Well…, did Your Majesty not bring one either?”
Belhawk’s gaze now turned to Aira. However, the latter wore a confident expression.
“I’m a little disappointed in you, Miss Bellhawk. Can’t you see that I have the best pet?”
“So where is it?”
Professor Stella scoured Aira’s surroundings. However, like me, Aira did not bring anything with her. There was no way Aira had a pet.
“I’m sorry Queen Aira, but I’m afraid I also have to give you a deduction.”
“What are you talking about? I can assure you that my pet is better than all the beasts here combined!”
Naturally, Aira’s boast drew the attention of the surrounding people.
She was already a natural head turner. Adding her words in, people’s curiosity peaked.
━Did she bring an invisible dragon? It’ll be something great, isn’t it?
━She’s the Queen of a country. It must be an amazing creature.
However, the more I thought about it, the colder I got. I felt like I was starting to understand why Aira was speaking so confidently…
Then, Aira put her hand on my head.
“My great Theo can’t be compared to a fire-breathing reptile or a two-legged wolf.”
“Ah-.”
Professor Belhawk briefly sighed, as if she had understood it all then. Her expression distorted a bit but it quickly turned bright again.
“You’re saying that you treat graduate students and assistants like I do?”
“You can say that.”
“Then I’ll consider it. A very good slave…, No. A very good pet!”
Professor Belhawk chuckled in satisfaction and proceeded to the next student.
━Did you hear that? That guy’s a pet!
━Indeed, when one becomes a Queen, the range of pet types you can have also becomes wider.
At this time, I was reminded of my position in Aira’s eyes.
After all, for Aira, I was but a convenient pet…
Like, if I worked my ass off for her, she would just stroke my hair or scratch my chin in return like I was some dog.
If it was in the past, I might have thought of this as upsetting.
But now that Aira had learned that there was a survivor of the Angmar Family, this seemingly low-key relationship suddenly felt not all that bad.
No one would suspect the harmless and obedient Theo Angmar, as they carelessly patted my head.
Once their guard was down, it would be the time to expose my fangs. Ah, I couldn’t wait to see Aira’s face by then~.
Clap-.
Professor Belhawk suddenly clapped and gathered everyone’s attention.
“Now, in order to understand the mind of an animal, you have to act like one. I’ll be distributing you with leashes, so that you can wear them on your necks. Then, start acting like an animal. Understood?”
Professor Belhawk wore a leash around her neck and placed the handle in Tweety’s mouth. Then, she started crawling on the ground on all fours.
Seeing this, the students naturally exploded into an uproar.
━Do we really have to do that?
━Can I cancel the class? I didn’t sign up for this.
━Professor Belhawk’s lectures really are famous for being weird…
