"eh..?"Mars"s sword stopped a inch form the teachers arm
"what do you think, a severed arm should be the perfect example... now hold still"
"w-w-w-wait!!!"
at the teachers panic Mars put on a innocent expression
"I thought you wanted to see my healing in person? so hold still"
"now now, there"s n-n-no n-n-need to get violent is there!?"
Mars took his sword of the shoulder and gave it a few swings before he explained
"I"m pretty confident in swordsmans.h.i.+p, you won"t feel a thing"
"n-n-now that I think about I have a cla.s.s to teach!"
looking at the teacher running away Mars gave a smile as he sheathed his sword, as much as he wanted to cut of his arm he decided to hold back for the sake of not worsening the already bad reputation of tactical call mages in the academy
"thanks for the help Mars"
"don"t mention it, if anyone bothers you like that again send them to me"
"okay, if you say so"
"well never mind all that, how has it been being back at the academy?"
"it"s been good so far well besides that teacher, my friends where even talking about holding a party for me since I have re---"
"hey Hanna, how have you been since we spoke last? have you decided to agree to my suggestion?"
as Hanna was talking a student that could only be described as sleazy looking walked up and interrupted her, he carried a oddly confident smile like the world was within his control
"no for the last time I"m not going to agree!"
the sleazy student took another step closer and lay his hand on Hanna"s shoulder before he continued
"really? that"s so sad with your health being good and all... oh well don"t complain to me later"
Mars watching form the side put a hand on the hilt of his sword
"...oi"
"what! can"t you see I"m having a conversation with Hanna here, f.u.c.k off!"
Mars was a little surprised by the sleazy student"s outburst but pulled himself together and grabbed his hand before he twisted it around his back
"AHHHHHH!!! WHAT THE f.u.c.k ARE YOU DOING YOU, LET GO YOU FILTHY COMMONER DO YOU WANT ME TO HAVE YOU KILLED IF NOT THEN LET---"
"hey Hanna?"
"...what?"
"can I stab him?"
"...no"
"please, just once?"
"...no"
"tch..."
Mars clicked his tongue and let go of the sleazy student that was still screaming insults at him
"YOU WANT ME TO HAVE YOUR FAMILY KILLED YOU LITTLE FILTHY COMMONER!? YOU JUST W--"
"shut up already"
*SLAM*
Mars, tired of being yelled at punched the sleazy student in the stomach and watched him kneel over and pa.s.s out with a refres.h.i.+ng smile on his face before he turned to Hanna and said
"let"s go visit the 3rd prince"
"...why?"
"because I want to know if this sleazebag is acting under his orders"
"okay then, but I"m not sure we will be able to see him"
"oh don"t you worry about that, just lead the way"
"okay if you say so Mars"
"you coming Ivan?"
"m-me?"
"yeah you"
"w-well okay"
"good, lead the way Hanna"
while Hanna lead the way Mars"s eyes turned crimson and his horns also grew out making him look sinister as a devil out of h.e.l.l
"M-Mars you have horns!?"
"yep"
"...are you a demon?"
"nope, half dragon"
"half dragon... I see"
Ivan looked at Mars with an admiring look on his face
"guys we"re here"
hearing Hanna call out Mars looked to the front and saw what could only be described as a luxurious 4 story tall dorm building with a fence around it, in front of Mars"s group was a gate that was guarded by some fierce looking guards in full plate armor
"what is this place?"
"it"s the dorm for the higher n.o.bility and royalty"
"I see, well lets go"
Mars walked up to the gate but was stopped by the guards
"halt! no commoners allowed"
"what if I told you I"m not a commoner?"
the guard looked Mars over before he showed a grin
"no way a dirty non human is a upper n.o.ble, f.u.c.k off!"
"I see, let"s do it the hard way then"
"the hard w--"
Mars used [Instant movement] before the guard managed to finished talking and appeared in front of the guard and "lightly" punched him over 50 times in less than 2 seconds, completely destroying his armor and knocking him out as he fell over like a sack of potatoes
"that"s one"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
ignoring the other guard Mars dug his foot under the pa.s.sed out guard and kicked him right over the gate and in the open door on the other side, and raised his hands over his head before he yelled
"GOOOOAAAAL!!!"
the guard, Hanna and Ivan looked at Mars with weird looks on their faces, but as a professional guard he quickly snapped out of his daze and drew his sword as he approached Mars
"hold on a second... there it is"
Mars pulled his necklace of the apostle out of his s.h.i.+rt and flashed it to the guard that went pale at the sight of the 13 pointed silver star
"apostle!?"
"well, what now..? you want me to f.u.c.k you up like I did your friend?"
"n-no sir apostle please pa.s.s!"
"now that"s more like it, come on Hanna, Ivan"
Ivan looked over at Hanna and asked
"is he always like that"
"...pretty much, I was surprised by how well behaved he was during the carriage trip"
"okay..."
"come on, what are you 2 waiting on?"
"we"re coming now"
Hanna pulled Ivan along pa.s.sed the still pale guard after Mars
"now let"s see..."
Mars looked around the hallway and spotted a random maid
"excuse me miss, could you please tell me the way to the 3rd prince?"
"...err, it"s down that hall room number 15"
"thanks"
after Mars thanked the maid he walked down the hall and soon found room number 15 and knocked on the door
"...I wonder if I"m going to have to run after this"
Mars thought for a moment about what would happen if he f.u.c.ked up and accidentally killed the 3rd prince but shook his head to shake of the violent thoughts
"I hope I"m able to talk sense into him"
as Mars was thinking the door opened
"yes, what is it?"
a elegant looking maid wit tied up silver hair opened the door and gave a slime at Mars when she saw him
"is the 3rd prince here?"
"yes master is in"
"...I would like to meet him"
Mars put a hand on his necklace of the apostle to drive the point that he wasn"t going to take no for a answer home
"...please wait a moment"
the maid closed the door again and after waiting a few moments did she open the door again
"please this way dear guest"
Mars gave a nod and followed after the maid into the room and found that the so called "room" was more like a big apartment
"his highness is inside"
the maid gestured to a door
"thanks, come on you two"
"y-yes Mars, is this really a good idea Hanna"
"what are you saying after coming this far, come on"
Mars opened the door and walked into a luxurious living room where 3 people was present, sanding behind a couch was a woman clad in armor along with a man that carried a staff and sitting in the sofa sat
"... a child?"
a child that looked no more than 13 years old sat in the sofa, he had short blonde hair and was clad in relatively ordinary clothes and wore a mantel like the other students, seeing Mars made his eyes light up before he stood up form the sofa couch and held out his hand to Mars
"welcome apostle, I"m Augustus Destra the 3rd prince of Destra"
Mars was presently surprised by Augustus"s show of maturity Mars also gave his hand with a smile on his face
"nice to meet you Augustus, I"m Mars and as you can see I"m not only a apostle but also a half dragon"
Mars shock the 3rd prince"s hand before he introduced Ivan and Hanna
"theses are my friends, Hanna and Ivan"
the prince gave a nod and gestured to the couch across from himself
"please sit down"
Mars and Hanna both sat down naturally while Ivan was rather stiff
"now what do I owe the honor of meeting a apostle?"
"well your highness I"m afraid it"s a rather dull topic"
"oh? please do tell"
"well it all started about a month ago before I became a apostle, I was living rather wild in the mother forest but due to circ.u.mstances I was forced to leave the forest and then I headed to Malrton that borders the forest"
"when you say wild, what do you mean?"
"I was living in a cave clad in animal skins"
"...seriously?"
"yeah, it was quite fun actually being able to laze around all day, but anyway when I came to Malrton chased from my home in the forest I was taken in by Hanna"s parents, they clothed me and fed me, so I owe them quite a bit, so when I found out their daughter was mortally injured I healed her at once"
"so you are also a healer?"
"yeah, and I"m really good at healing too"
"...in that case I might need your services in the future"
"I would be happy to help your highness with anything... that is depending on how this conversation ends"
"...what do you mean?"
"well, the thing is the reason Hanna was mortally injured was because her staff was sabotaged... right after she refused to become your mistress"
