In the castle, inside the royal library.
The three Saintess candidates had gathered for their first class. The lesson for today is about basic magic and their instructor happens to be the Archmage of the kingdom himself, Alexis Castel. The oldest yet most powerful mage in the kingdom.
The awkwardness between the three was so obvious, especially Lady Laurel's dislike of Eirwen Night. They sat at a different table with Lady Evans in between of them. With no one around them, Lady Laurel didn't plan to act as a virtuous lady at the moment, instead, she acted like a bitch.
Bela Laurel glares at Eirwen and even gives him some rolling eyes. Her hate for this beautiful young man in women's clothing was now at its peak ever since she saw her crush carrying him in his arms.
"You should stop what you are planning right now! Stop flirting with Duke Damian. Do you not have any shame?!" said Bela as she screamed at Eirwen.
Eirwen on the other hand is too sleepy as his body's fatigue from yesterday had not completely cured even with sleep. Moreover, he was talking with his system which made him ignore Bela Laurel and made her look like a screaming bitch with problems in the head.
"Yue~ my body is aching~ can't you give me some painkillers or something!" complains Eirwen in his head.
[Then I will prepare some for the host. But you've eaten too little for breakfast just now. You need to eat a full meal with that weak body of yours, host!]
Eirwen Night secretly swallows the painkiller tablet and drinks water which was served at the table with snacks.
"The breakfast is not to my liking! Too many vegetables~ We still have money left from yesterday. Let's eat outside again," said Eirwen in his mind.
[But the whole day is full of lessons on schedule, you cannot just leave.]
"I can. Why do you think I've stayed in the library before?"
[Because the host likes reading books?]
"You must be crazy. For a lazy person like me, a book makes me sleepy!"
[But the host didn't fall asleep at that time?]
"It's the power of coffee!!!"
The two were so busy conversing that they didn't notice that the ignored Bela Laurel had finally lost it. She stood up from her chair and walked with heavy steps towards Eirwen Night. She started screaming at him.
Bela Laurel spoke, "What the hell is wrong with you? Stop ignoring me you bitch! Just because the duke is wasting his time to talk to you that is only because you are a Saintess candidate and nothing more. Moreover, a man wearing ladies dresses!? What are you? A pervert!!?"
Her voice was echoing in the whole room, the library had given her cold glares which she turned a blind eye with. Lady Bela continues to glare at Eirwen Night who is languidly looking at her. There is a disinterested gaze on his exquisite yet flawless, alluring face.
Eirwen Night watches in silence at the screaming money in front of him. There is mirth within those golden orbs as he looks down on her. Then he flashes an amused smile. He had always loved it when these world's characters continue to act like a fool whenever they lose it.
Bela Laurel cursed a few more times at Eirwen Night until she was finally out of breath.
Eirwen lightly glanced at her, "Finally done talking? I thought my ears would suffer from ringing all day thanks to you~"
"You fucking slut!!" exclaimed Lady Laurel as she was about to slap Eirwen.
Eirwen Night had no intentions of blacking or moving away from the slap. According to the original Eirwen's memories, he becomes hated when he retaliates at everything Lady Laurel had schemed towards him. He wasn't able to hold back his anger and fought back. Because of that Lady Laurel was able to act like Eirwen is bullying her.
She also made sure that the audience would arrive at the right moment every time Eirwen fought back. She also exaggerated her acting to make sure that from everyone's point of view, she was being bullied badly by Eirwen Night who was male at birth. In the world of Aerd males were considered superior and females were considered as a weaker side but the males never look down on females as it was a sign of discrimination. A man bullying females was not tolerated in this world.
The original Eirwen Night was modern in a modern era where gender is equal. Moreover, there are lots of varying types of girls which can be either considered good and bad. It just happened that Bela Laurel's type is on the bad side. Scheming bitches were hated the most in the modern era. They were unreasonable and would take actions that would give them the highest profit.
For the original Eirwen who got disowned the moment his hobby was known, he hated scheming bitch the most. The person who told me about his hobby of wearing women's clothes is none other than his cousin who lives next door. She is a bitch well known in her high school, she changes boyfriends like clothes and even dates them all at the same time. This cousin of his had always hated him because of his appearance.
After all, Eirwen is too beautiful despite being a man, this cousin of his had always felt envious of his appearance and relationship. This is why when she learned about her cousin's hobby of wearing female clothes, it made her ecstatic and immediately planned to destroy her cousin's life. This is the reason why Eirwen Night was disowned by his family. Because the news about this had spread in the whole neighborhood that his parents had no other choice but to let him go.

Lady Laurel had raised her hand up intending to hit Eirwen Night's face, out of nowhere her hand froze at a visible speed. She started shouting for help when she saw her hand covered in ice.
"AAHHH~ Save me~~"
"Are you a fool? Anyone who dares to harm me would make these little ones around me attack you. Why don't you think for a while why I never needed knights for protection in the first place?~" said Eirwen Night as he watches Bela cry out in fear of losing her arm.
He watched her scream in pain coldly and emotionlessly. It was only when the archmage arrived that the ice had stopped spreading.
Archmage Alexis spoke, "Have some mercy, my lady!" he said, obviously asking Eirwen to spare Lady Laurel's life.
"You are asking the wrong one. I wasn't the one who froze her hand. The Ice pixies don't always listen to me. Moreover, no life was taken yet and wouldn't be unless… Anyway it's not me." said Eirwen while lying with a straight face.
Unknown to everyone the ice pixies hovering around Eirwen were talking as well.
That's not true my lord.
We will always listen to your orders.
Your will is our will as well.
This human dares to harm our lord!
Courting death! Freezing her hands ain't enough!
AAAHHH~ My hands!!!
The sound of Bela still screaming in the background can be heard. Seeing Eirwen had no intention to help the Archmage could only cast a spell to thaw the frost but the ice cast by spirits of ice was hard to melt. It would take a few days before Lady Laurel could once again properly use her right hand. Since the ice pixies had frozen half of her hand, it could be said that she would only be able to use one hand in her daily life. Well~ unless the ice pixies themselves remove the cast spell on her.
"You! Ask them to defrost my arm! There is no way they don't listen to you. Spirit races would never stay around someone unless they were contracted with it!!" exclaimed Bela.
Her words were right but she had forgotten that this kind of knowledge isn't something an otherworlder should have known unless they've made contact with spirits on their own. Hearing these kinds of words from Bela Laurel had made the Archmage frown. Now Alexis Castel is 100 percent sure that Bela Laurel is hiding extremely important to the rest of them. Moreover, her reaction is totally unlike how a newly summoned person should react.
Some of Lady Bela's gestures and actions made it seem like she wasn't summoned to another world for the first time. As the knowledge, she possesses about this world is already the nature of the world itself. Contracts about spirits were one of the most secrecy spells a magic user could do. Only by entering the Magic tower would they learn about this secret but how could Lady Bela, who was summoned into this world a few days ago knew about this fact.
Because she acted like this, the archmage is now treating Lady Laurel as someone who is posing as Saintess Candidate but was most likely a spy from outside their kingdom.
Archmage Alexis thoughts, 'This lady is strange. I must ask the king to hasten the appointment with the temple of the light. It would be bad if this lady ends up being a spy from the other races.'
"Lady Laurel, would you like to rest for today? Or you would be attending the class?" asked Archmage Alexis but just based on his tone everyone could see that his treatment towards Lady Bela possesses vigilance unlike before.
Bela Laurel finally noticed that the actions and words she just did made the archmage look at her unfavorably. She unconsciously spouted words that at this moment isn't supposed to be something she knew yet. Seeing the archmage's unfriendly gaze made her extremely uncomfortable but it is not like she could tell them her identity as a reborn person. Afraid that they would treat her as a cursed being as she had no proof to back up her words.
Her anger had diminished when she realized that a mistake was already made. Lady Laurel could only think of something else to free herself of suspicion.
Lady Laurel spoke, "I would like to continue my lesson, Sir Alexis." her tone was respectful as if the screaming crazy lady from before wasn't her.
The Archmage is not full of suspicion towards her but like everyone else without proof, he couldn't just evict the lady by his own assumptions. He could only stare at her for a bit longer before allowing her to join his class.
"Take a seat, the class would begin now," said the old archmage.
Eirwen Night ignored the scene which unfolds before him even though he is the opposite party which made Lady laurel cause a commotion. He really doesn't care about anything that doesn't interest him. Since he is a bit sleepy as well, Eirwen could only lay his head down on the table in front of him and closed his eyes.
[Host, didn't you say you won't attend classes?]
He responded in his mind, "After I woke up from my nap, let's head to the town to enjoy more food. For now, let me… sleep for a bit~ yawns~~" said Eirwen Night.
[Then I bid to host a nice sleep. Sleep well, Lord Hei.]
