The class was dismissed after that. Students were asked to return to their dorm without any exceptions. This matter was more important than any that had happened in this academy. A Paladin was born from the first-year student.
That was something to be celebrated for.
Meanwhile, I was taken to the headmistress's office on the third floor of the main building. The one who tagged along was Sana, Emilia, and Rania as our guard.
The knights were asked to return. They hesitated a bit, but when I said that I would take Sana back to the church afterward, the knights smiled and left. It seemed like they trusted my title as Paladin.
Anyway, I was now sitting beside Sana, facing a beautiful elf with long ears, blue eyes, and long blonde hair. She wore an open black dress that somehow looked like a leotard, with a tight miniskirt that only covered her front and back area.
The area around her chest was exposed, revealing half of her wonderful boobs which looked perfect to be held. The detached collar around her neck and the black gloves she wore only added her natural charm as a woman.
She also wore a black witch hat even though we were inside a room. The woman in front of me was the headmistress of the Royal Academy, Alesia Daxidor.
Her appearance was like a beautiful girl in her late 19 with modest breasts, but her real age was way over a hundred. She could be mistaken as a student of this academy by someone who didn't know her race.
Once again, her outfit looked erotic and exposed her cleavage. Sins Paradise was really an Eroge targeted to horny men.
"This is surprising." A soft voice escaped her lips as she looked at me. Her hands were above her smooth thighs, and her face was expressionless, making me unable to perceive her emotion.
"To think that a student from this academy has become a Paladin. I must say this is the first. Not like a Paladin has ever been born in the last 300 years I've lived."
"Yes, Lady Alesia," Sana said with a soft smile, nodding her head slightly. "I was also surprised when one of the nuns called me, saying that someone had passed the Paladin test. And I was even more surprised when I met him. He's still young and really handsome, fufufu."
The headmistress nodded. She looked at me with her pair of sapphire blue eyes. There was a hint of interest beneath her aloof gaze.
"Your name is Arthur?" She asked with a flat tone. "I am not good with manners."
"Please don't worry about it." I smiled at her and waved my hands. The reason why she said that she wasn't good at manners was because of my position.
After being announced as a Paladin, my position was officially cemented in this society. I was at the top position in Castitas Church, the Kingdom's religion. And my authority was even higher than the Royal Family except for the King.
So it was expected for someone from a lower position to be polite to me. However, the headmistress was blunt and expressionless. Maybe she didn't want to offend me by saying that first before talking to me.
Well, it wasn't like I was good at manners too.
"Just talk comfortably to me, headmistress." I continued while gesturing at her to continue.
The headmistress nodded slightly. "Much appreciated."
"Then I wanted to ask something. What do you want to do now that you are officially recognized as a Paladin? Will you quit the Academy, or will you stay to pursue education? And if you want to stay, then please do tell us about your preference. Like Class and living arrangements. We will grant it to you."
Four pairs of eyes were locked on me. Even Emilia and Rania, who stood behind the headmistress, also looked at me curiously.
I understood why Emilia looked at me like that. But really? Rania looked as if she didn't want me to leave the Academy.
"Hmm–" I hummed, pretending to be thinking hard about it. In fact, I had already planned what I wanted to do in the near future.
If I just said I wanted to stay in the Academy, I would need to finish my education here for a few years. But I wanted to go to Sin Kingdom eventually, so I couldn't answer that I wanted to pursue my education.
So there was an answer I prepared if I were asked that question.
"I still want to be a student in this Royal Academy. But I'd like to be able to pick up the class that I will attend. I also can't promise to attend every day because I also want to carry out my duty as the Paladin." I replied seriously while narrowing my eyes slightly, facing Alesia.
Sana looked rather happy when I said that I wanted to carry out my duty as the Paladin. Her smile widened as she clasped her hands in front of her lips.
"Got it." She replied without even thinking twice. "About your class and living arrangement? Do you want to stay in Class 3 or change to Class 1, where high-ranking noble kids are? And what about your dorm?"
That was easy. I still couldn't read what she was thinking due to her being expressionless, but I guessed she wanted to use my reputation as a Paladin to boost this Academy's reputation. This old lady was cunning. I liked a woman like her.
My lips curled up into a grin as I replied. "I will stay in Class 3, please."
This time, I noticed Emilia smile slightly from the edge of my sight. Due to her position, no one but me noticed it.
"As for my dorm–" I paused a little, thinking. Honestly, I was a bit hesitant about my living arrangement.
There were a few options. I could stay in the commoner dorm, which was close to Emilia. But the security in the commoner dorm wasn't really good, and there was a curfew. Then there was a noble dorm with good security close to where Eliza lived.
But even without a curfew, my freedom would be limited if I stayed in the noble dorm. I was a fool even considering living in that place.
Looking at how the students looked at me after Sana announced that I was the Paladin, I would be nagged without stopping by those noble kids who wanted to lick my ass. That would be troublesome.
'Should I just ask for a mansion? In this situation, I think the church will grant my request.' I could buy one myself, but I had no idea where to start. There would be a ton of documents that needed to be done, which was troublesome.
Living in a mansion would give me the freedom I needed. I could sneak women I fancy into my mansion or even ask some nuns to live with me as my maids to have some one-night stand with them to finish the requirement to dominate Garcia.
I glanced to the left, where Sana was. She looked at me with a smile, waiting for my response.
'Alright.' I decided where I wanted to live and looked back at Alesia.
"I plan to stay in a mansion. Is it possible–"
"Alright. I will give you one of my mansions near the Royal Academy. You can stay there whenever you want. I never stayed in some of the mansions for a long time, so take it. I will process the change of owner after this. Do you need something other than that?"
Before I finished talking, I was cut off by Alesia's answer. She was willing to give me her mansion? What was she planning?
I looked at her again but still couldn't make out what she was thinking. Did she just say yes to everything I asked for? Just as she said earlier?
'Let's try it.'
Because she looked like she would say yes to anything I asked, I decided to joke around.
"I want you." I said, pointing at Alesia in a joking tone.
Right, it was supposed to be a joke. I never expected her to nod firmly and reply seriously.
"Alright."
'Seriously?!'
