237 Outing [1]
---Diamond Academy---
"And then, I had to kill the damn dragon. I chopped its head off with my blade and took its core for myself!" Nymira spoke with her hands on her hips, and her chest puffed out.
She was surrounded by several girls around her age, and even a few boys who seemed to have been enamored by a little more than just her story.
Both Silas and Alex could be seen walking a few meters behind them, with a trio of girls around Nymira's age beside them. They were all walking toward the assembly hall since the headmaster had called for them for some reason.
"Wow... Nymira is amazing! Right! Right!" One of the girls in the group with long black hair and brownish-orange eyes asked while nudging the girl beside her with a broad smile on her face. She was not strikingly attractive, yet even Silas could tell that she took care of herself in a way that was not reflected in the crowd around her.
"It's a shame she isn't around often. It would be nice to get to know here a little more." The golden-haired girl sighed before tapping her forehead.
"Truly a shame. She would have made a freat sparring partner." Another black-haired girl spoke from the side. Her hair was not nearly as long as the first girl's black hair, yet she made up for it in many other ways. She was well built and had an amazing physique, yet, at the same time, she looked like someone who hadn't slept properly in days due to the bags under her eyes.
'She's strong.' Silas thought while observing the girl from the corner of his eyes, effectively ignoring Alex's ramblings.
Silas scanned the golden-haired girl for a moment, and while he core and magical abilities did not seem nearly as impressive as Alex's, she was quite powerful in her own sense.
Silas' eyes moved toward Nymira, who was telling everyone about her adventures outside of the academy. Of course, most of them were lies, but Silas was used to such a scene. People who saw Nymira's sword were usually quite skeptical of who she was, and when she would eventually show them her prowess, they would listen to her stories like maniacal fan girls.
It was as if they thought that her stories would somehow have some trick to explain how she got so strong. Of course, that wasn't the case since most of the stories were fake.
"Damnit! She always does this. Makes us feel like side characters!" Alex shouted from the side, catching a few people's attention.
"Us?" Silas tuned back in and raised a brow.
"Y-Yeah!" Alex looked around and whistled before trying to widen the gap between himself and Silas.
Silas could not help but smile slightly when seeing this, but he quickly shifted his attention back to the group of girls. His eyes landed on the golden-haired girl with the spectacles who was looking right at him.
They were all looking right at him.
'Shit. Did my hair change color again?' Sils thought to himself and looked at his hair, yet it was still green.
'Why the hell are they looking at me then? Oh... Must have been that damn bastard.' Silas turned around and looked at Alex with a scowl before turning back toward them with a subtle smile.
Yet this time, they were walking toward him.
'God damnit. I'm going to kill him.' Silas repressed the urge to decapitate Alex on the spot and tilted his head as if curious and confused.
"I heard you talking crap about our friend." The girl with long black hair tapped Silas' on the chest, pushing his back slightly.
'Friend?' Silas thought and quickly scanned them. A hundred thoughts went through his mind, trying his best to recall if he had met them before. 'Oh yeah... Nymira told me that she has roommates. I just hadn't met them before.' Silas concluded. Since he hadn't actually met them before, they didn't know him, and he didn't know them. The only reason he was looking at them in the first place was due to the aura the short-haired girl was letting off.
"I did nothing wrong." Silas's expression turned slightly serious before his hand moved toward a red-haired individual.
They all looked at the kid, shuddering at their gazes before looking back at Silas with almost disgust.
"So this is how low you are? Blaming your own actions on a kid?" The golden-haired girl pushed up her spectacles with a sense of disgust in her tone.
"Hey. I wouldn't say anything bad about Nymira. Oh, wait... I definitely would." Silas paused and stared into thin air, as if he was having a dilemma.
"I would definitely insult her. Though, she's my friend, so that doesn't matter." Silas shrugged and let out a small smile.
The black-haired girl, Blanka, was about to retort when a distinct melodious voice entered their ears.
"I suggest you let go of him..." A green-haired girl asked from the side as she wore the smile of the devil on her face. Her hands were behind her back, and her aura made the people before her feel like they were being pressed into the ground by immense gravity.
"Ivy?" Blanka squeaked out, her eyes having widened after seeing a familiar figure.
"Oh. Hey Blanka. Long time no see." Ivy smiled at the black-haired girl, yet not for a moment did she reduce her aura.
By now, the only ones that weren't affected by her aura were Silas and Nymira, since even Alex was having a hard time standing.
Ivy wasn't wearing her school uniform. Instead, she wore an elegant white dress that reached her ankles. If not for the fact that she was missing a veil, she would have looked like a bride seconds away from getting married.
"Did you crash a wedding or something?" Silas could not help but ask aloud. The question caught Ivy off-guard, but after a few seconds, she couldn't hold in her chuckle any longer.
"No. I wouldn't do such a thing..." She paused before adding, "If it doesn't have anything to do with you of course." She giggled.
'She's giving me Harley Quinn vibes. All she's missing is a hammer, a circus outfit, and some face paint.' Silas tapped his chin in thought.
"Who are you?" Nymira's voice entered Silas' ear from the side. Her sword was pointed toward Ivy, and her aura had flared to encapsulate the entire hallway, yet, it only got a few inches away from her before being immediately crushed by Ivy's.
