"How's this? I am quite confident in this one."
Nux questioned as he showed another painting to Evane with a smile on his face.
"You see, here is the knight, he came after fighting a war and is now in front of the princess…"
Nux then started explaining what he drew and seeing him, Evane smiled.
"Are you going to live with Teacher Arvina from now on?" Suddenly, Evane questioned.
"Knight promised to pro-" Hearing her question, Nux paused.
Then, a frown appeared on his face and he answered,
"Of course not, why would I do that?"
"Teacher Arvina came to me, she talked about how you will be safer if you lived with her," Evane muttered.
"Safe? Teacher Evane… have you perhaps not heard the news?" Nux questioned.
"News? What news?" Evane frowned.
"Bourkee House is now destroyed," Nux informed nonchalantly.
"Huh? How did that happen?" Evane questioned in shock, however, Nux shook his head.
"I do not know the details, however, it seems that all the cultivators who were Earl's subordinates were killed and even Earl had both his arms chopped off.
Coincidently, it was revealed that Earl Bourkee had raped Baron Crook's daughter in the past, along with this, many other crimes were revealed as well.
The Earl could only compensate the victims to avoid the case in the Justice Court, however, the number of crimes he committed were so many that his money was spent and even after that, someone filed a case against him for another crime.
Since the Earl lost most of his power, his allies refused to help him.
His condition is quite pitiful now.
Actually, I am even wondering who was the one who did something so cruel to him…
He must be a cold-hearted person."
Nux shook his head with an innocent look on his face.
"…do you really feel that way…?" Evane questioned.
Nux then looked into her eyes and then, he sighed,
"No… I actually feel that the one who did it should be blessed by the gods and should achieve all the goals in his life.
I truly believe that he is a kind-hearted, gentle and handsome person."
Nux replied with a smile.
"That's… quite the opposite of what you said…" Evane muttered.
"Well, let's not talk more about this.
In conclusion, now no one would attack me so I am safe."
"What about Marquee Water? You have humiliated his daughter in front of half of the Academy, you know?"
Nux smiled,
"He won't do anything."
"Why?"
"Candice would be the one who would try to go against me."
"Huh?"
"Yes, I only won against Candice because she didn't use her Mana. If she had used her Mana, she would have defeated me easily.
Therefore, Candice would be the one to take me on, her pride won't allow her father to step in." Nux answered and Evane nodded in agreement.
That sounded logical.
"Also, who knows?
If Marquee Water attacks me, that kind-hearted, gentle and handsome person might go against him this time."
Nux muttered and again, Evane felt that there was a hidden meaning behind his words, however, she decided to ignore it since she wasn't sure.
"All in all, I am safe, as long as I am inside the academy." Nux muttered.
"Then… you don't need to stay here?" Evane questioned.
"No, I must stay here. I won't leave as long as Teacher Evane won't throw me out." Then, Nux looked at Evane as his golden eyes shined innocently.
"You won't kick me out, right teacher Evane?"
"But won't you be safer living with Teacher Arvina, the room there would be a lot better than this room."
"But teacher Evane won't be there." Nux pouted, then, his eyes shined in determination.
"I must have Teacher Evane all to myself!"
He declared.
"H-Huh?" Evane blinked a few times and her heart skipped a beat.
She then noticed that Nux's face was unusually close to hers, her heart skipped another beat and she quickly stepped back.
"W-W-W-What are you t-talking about!?"
She stuttered.
"I am not lying, I need to stay with Teacher Evane.
How else am I supposed to become your favourite student?"
"Huh?"
Evane frowned in confusion and her brain stopped working for a few seconds.
Then, her mind started processing what Nux said and she realized that she misunderstood what he was talking about.
Her face turned red in embarrassment.
'J-Just what am I thinking…?'
She couldn't think straight.
"You won't kick me out, right teacher Evane?" oblivious to what she was thinking, Nux questioned with an innocent look on his face.
"I won't, don't worry."
Evane answered, then, she stood up and walked away,
"It is late now, I will be leaving."
"Have a wonderful night, Teacher Evane."
"Y-Yes, you have a good night as well."
"Mhm, I am planning to have a blissful night~"
Nux answered.
Evane didn't think too much about his words, no, actually, she didn't even hear his words.
She just wanted to get out of his room now.
She was too embarrassed, she can't believe that she misunderstood her student.
She needs to meditate and calm her mind.
Thinking about it, Evane returned to her room and jumped onto her bed.
On the other side, after Evane left, a playful smile appeared on Nux.
He then looked at the time, it was 11 at the night, and there was still an hour before the day was over.
Nux decided to use his daily free teleportation.
He disappeared and then reappeared inside Allura's room.
There, he saw Allura sitting on the bed, wearing a thin, see-through purple gown, her hypnotic blue eyes shined as an alluring smile appeared on her face,
"I was waiting~" She whispered.
"I hope you didn't wait for long."
Nux smiled and then, he pulled her into his embrace.
A long night followed.
…
The next day, Nux returned to the academy, then, he attended Evane's class, flirting with female students, ignoring the boys and bullying the timid Myrill.
Then, the class ended, Teacher Evane left, and Nux left the classroom as well,
However, as soon as he walked out of the door,
A blue-haired girl appeared in front of him with a disdainful smile on her face.
