[Rein's POV: ]
The teacher that walked in was hawt! And by hot, I mean burning, sizzling, boiling hot! And the three snakes wrapped around her neck made her even more hawwwwt!
*Rough breaths*
"Uriel. She's our teacher… and those snakes are already married to each other. You can't have them."
"I know. Still, they are sexy!"
Zoe was fulfilling the role of my darling by reminding me of those unwanted things but at least she was smiling in understanding.
She also agreed those snakes looked cool on this cool teacher, and there was no denying it!
Maybe it might be intimidating for the students here but they were cool! They were definitely as cute as the president's mythical Ocagi!
"Huhu, ya two girls seem to like these cuties?"
She looked at us and as she turned her head in our direction, the three snakes, one yellow, one green, and the other light blue, all also turned towards us.
They looked cool, and it was fun seeing those sharp eyes, those hissing tongues, and that smile they all had.
"They are cool~! Just like you, teacher!"
I couldn't help myself when they were looking at me with that interested look. Snakes were some of the coolest reptiles after all~.
"That so? Do you want to greet them?"
"Yes please!"
Everyone in the class that was mesmerized by her legs finally came back to their senses when I shouted that and looked at us, more precisely, at me.
They hadn't noticed her before because her legs under that pretty and comfortable dress, that were killer… and I mean it literally. They could kill and definitely had killed many during their lifetime.
This teacher of ours was famous… not her snakes but she was some of the most famous magic beast experts in this entire world. And her expertise wasn't only the energy beast research.
Mainly, she was known for something else that was also related to the energy beasts.
'Lady Vivian S. Homer. The hunter that had hunted most of the beasts people can name. And that included all known types of slime to even the draconian species.'
She was a mage, a weapon expert, and a tamer, but more than these professions, she was a hunter in true meaning that had mastered the art of hunting.
She was famous throughout the world, but she taught a theoretical class in this academy so it wasn't as famous as her actual work-related stuff.
And more than that, she wasn't as active as she used to be a decade ago.
'In the prime of her career though, she was so famous that people on my battlefields talked about her many times, and her achievements were well known throughout the continent.
She was almost feared by many and moms used her names to scar their children and put them to sleep.'
-Ptsssss…
-Ptsss. Ptssssss.
-Ptssssssss~.
The main reason I was attending this class was also that I wanted to learn from her, see her for myself, and get close to the person that was known and feared as (Huntress of Pawn).
"Hello~ to you too."
The class was looking at us as the teacher put her hand on our desk and the three snakes, who were apparently a very, very, very rare species called (Megalits) that can grow to be very large creatures of (Indigo) rank.
I don't know where she got three of these cuties but they were adorable~!
-Ptssss… ptssss?
-Ptssssssssssssssss?
-Ptsss?! Ptssssssss~!
They had a diamond-shaped head and their scale-covered bodies were so sharp any weak creature merely touching them would get covered in cuts.
And they were poisonous too. So poisonous that their poison was a very rare material used in the production of miraculous medicines.
But they knew how to control their body parts and poison so it was safe to touch them.
Others didn't know this though, so they were afraid of these kiddos.
"Oho? They like you already? That's new…"
The teacher was surprised, well, it would naturally be surprising to see her children play happily with someone else.
But I knew how to handle reptiles and my natural affinity with poison was also pretty good so they liked when I touched their little heads and caressed their tail parts.
It was a sensitive area and if not handled well, they could become aggressive. But at the same time, if handled right, one can befriend these amazing creatures relatively easily.
"Hello~."
And Zoe was just too naturally compatible when it came to energy beasts and especially birds. I had seen it many times in our time together but, just like how they are attracted towards little Anna, they couldn't help but get drawn towards her.
'And it was also different when it came to Zoe.'
Energy beasts… be it the unranked creatures with a little Mana in them or the high-ranking special creatures with uniqueness like no other creatures even of their same kind, all were different from the normal animals.
They were special, possessed something special, and all of them had two common factors to them.
'Attraction and submission.'
It was natural but as a creature of nature, there was only domination or subordination to these special creatures gifted with unique powers and qualities that made them different from all other creatures.
They would either become one with their surroundings and accept a leader to walk behind, or get stronger, and make others kneel before them.
It was the law of nature but when it came to attraction towards the other intelligent species like humans or other intelligent humanoids, it was a pretty simple matter.
They either liked one with a good affinity with nature or nature's certain element that they also possessed or those with something special about them that drew them toward them.
This attraction varied depending on their many factors but to put it simply…
'Energy beasts liked me because I was a witch, someone like them in certain ways. They liked my darling because he possessed affinity with all six elements which increased his overall affinity with nature, and they instantly felt fascinated by this.
They liked Anna because she had a very high affinity with nature itself. And even though she hadn't awakened her elemental powers, she had an affinity with five elements and Arcana, something closely associated with higher-class energy beasts.
They liked someone like our teacher because of her affinity towards not only nature but also the creatures of nature, the energy beasts.
They felt a unique kind of attraction to her, and it could be an attraction, sometimes a feeling of submission, or simply curiosity. But it was different from what they felt from us.'
And then there was Zoe… someone they willingly wanted to submit before for no great reason.
'It was as if submitting before a ruler or parent figure or, probably, submitting themselves to a god.'
It was peculiar however many times I saw it, but all the energy beasts were instantly respectful towards her. And many times, they themselves didn't know the reason for it.
My own companion old crow was like a servant in her hands, and many times, he didn't understand why he was even doing what he was doing.
She was unique, and even right now, her uniqueness remained the same as the three snakes that were like cute playful kids in my hands, were like disciplined, obedient children standing before their teacher, parent, mother, or probably master.
They were attracted to her, yes, but they also felt the absolute need to not do anything that she wouldn't like.
It was fascinating, and seeing them like that was also cute~.
"Can we have them for now teacher~? Please?"
I looked at her with pleading eyes and though she was fascinated to see her children behave like that before Zoe, it was fun seeing them like that for her too-
"What a fucking annoying bunch."
Someone spoke up from behind and we looked back at the very last seat from where the voice had come from.
It was surprising for everyone that were already shocked by us but no one was expecting to hear curses as loudly as this when the teacher was right there.
"You got any problems pink head?"
And he had cursed at me… that son of a bitch cursed at me my Zoe and these little cuties! There was no way in this unholy hell I was going to stay quiet!
"It's been over five minutes and you are playing with those dangerous snakes as if they are little children. And every other fucker here's just watching you now.
They were watching the teacher's legs when she came in like they were some jewels and now they don't even fucking know what is happening.
I was here to learn about the beasts so that I can stay alive if faced with them, not see this annoying play where two girls are playing with deadly snakes.
For the world's sake, they are dangerous beings that can kill every one of us here any moment they want. Why are they even allowed here?"
The one speaking all this was a pink-haired punk. And he was looking at these snakes with a frightened look as if he couldn't even bare the sight of them.
He looked weak, and from his screen that was not much special, I can tell he wasn't that special.
But there was the factor that Zoe found him interesting so I didn't know if he was really someone capable enough to mask his screen like Prince Alph, but the audacity of this bastard…!
How dare he speak like that about these adorable babies!?
