Blood demon leveling

About a week passed since the incident, with the criminal having long since been executed calmness began to return to the academy, Mike also stopped pretending he was bothered by the fact that those people died as it was his plan all along for the disciplinary committee to harm some innocents in order to diminish their influence in the academy

'That way that professor can't use them to force me to hand over Snow…'

Mike let out a yawn as he stepped out of the shower and dried his body off before he put on his uniform and stepped out of the dorm room where the three servants waited for him

"Good morning girls"

""Good morning master""

Mike walked out of the dorm building like usual and made his way to the school building, on the way there he meet up with Karl and Michelle and went to class as usual then went it was time for lunch Mike was walking with the two of them on their way to the cafeteria he suddenly stopped and turned around as a rare genuine smile formed on his face, the two of them was a little confused but also looked the same way Mike did and saw a young woman in a academy uniform walk through the crowd, she had short red hair that reached her shoulders and she had a slim fit figure that drew many gazes as she walked through the crowd, on her hip was a sheathed sword, she walked over and stopped within arms reach of Mike as the two of them started into eachothers eyes for a while before she grabbed him by the collar and pulled him into a kiss, a deep one at that, Karl showed a wry smile while Michelle blushed deeply and hid her face behind her hands as she peeked through her fingers, Julie slowly broke the kiss and asked Mike

"Did you cheat on me while I was leveling up?"

"No ma'am!"

"Very good"

Julie beamed a lovely smile as she looked at Mike and studied his face, then she gently took his hand and asked

"Shall we head to class?"

"Hold your horses"

Mike showed an apologetic look to Karl and Michelle as he introduced Julie

"This is Julie, my girlfriend, Julie this is Karl and Michelle"

Karl pulled himself together and showed some merchant spirit and greeted Julie

"Hello, as Mike said my name is Karl… I have heard a lot of you from Mike"

Julie narrowed her eyes slightly as she asked

"Oh what did you hear?"

Karl felt a cold chill go down his spine as he quickly stammered out an answer

"O-Oh you know, how lovely you are and how in love Mike is with you"

Julie kept her expression cold for a moment before she turned her face to Mike that did the same

"I like this friend of yours, he has a quick mouth"

Mike gave a shrug with a smile as he prised Karl

"Well he's an aspiring merchant, he has his moments"

"Hey Mike what does that mean!?"

Julie looked past Karl and at Michelle

Julie walked over to Michelle and ever so carefully peeled her hands away from her face as she showed a smile and spoke

"I have a feeling that we're going to be the best of friends!"

Michelle asked Mike for help by sending a desperate look which Mike smoothly ignored with a teasing smile on his face, then she began overheating and after a few moments she managed to from a response in a flustered voice

"Y-Yes Julie… I look forwards to g-getting to know you"

Julie's catlike smile widened slightly before she evaluated Michelle

"Very good, now Mike let's go to class"

Julie was swiftly glued to Mike again before the two of them began walking off leaving the stunned Karl and Michelle behind, well only for a moment before the two of them stopped walking and asked simultaneously

""Aren't you coming with us to class?""

Karl was the first to snap out of his stunned silence and muttered

"Why do I have the feeling that these two are going to be quite annoying?"

Michelle gave a nod and a sigh before the two of them followed after Mike and Julie, after the class was over Mike and Julie was as if glued to each other and spent most of the lunch time feeding each other (much to the despair of the single men and women that watched, or rather just happened to see) but eventually the second class arrived and Julie had to go to class for fire mages while Mike went to the clubroom after they of course promised to meet up later, when Mike arrived in the clubroom James were already there waiting for him

"Hey Mike, you seem cheerful today?"

"Yeah my girlfriend arrived at the academy, I'll introduce you later"

"I see… W-Well swiftly moving on, today I'll teach you about some more advanced formations"

Mike narrowed his eyes slightly as a teasing smile formed on his face as he asked

"Are you perhaps having love troubles professor?"

James flinched before he gave a sigh, a long one at that and gave Mike a stare as he slowly said

"I don't want to talk about it…"

Mike put away his teasing smile and asked a little more seriously

"Then do you mind if I speak about my own experiences?"

James considered it for a bit before he gave a nod, then Mike began speaking

"Well frankly I didn't believe in love, as a matter of fact I only used my girlfriends for their looks or more carnal desires for a long time… that is until I met Julie… Sure at the start she was stronger than me and I wanted very much to drive a nine inch rusty iron nail through her eye socket, but then, it kind of happened, I mean love did… I think it was after we were separated for a while, at the time I didn't realize it but looking back she was my world long before I was aware of it"

James gave a nod and thought for sometime before his mood seemed better

"Thanks Mike, I'll… Ask you if I have any troubles in the future"

"Sure"

From there the club started for real and James explained some advanced rune formations to Mike over the cause of what would normally be the second class of the day, soon the other people in the club also started to arrive, with Hinrich and Hilia being the only ones to greet Mike as the twins still ignored him and gave him the cold shoulder ever since the incident with Serina, soon there were some noise outside the club room, then Karl opened the door and walked in followed by Julie that wore a charming smile on her face, a little too charming in fact as Henry, the male of the twins had his breath taken away as he looked at Julie with a enchanted look on his face, he stood up at once and walked over confidently before he asked while giving a slight bow, one reminiscent of nobility

"Welcome to the magic item research club, my name is Henry, may I have the honor of knowing your name my lady?"

Julie's smile froze slightly, in fact it wasn't only her smile her entire expression turned frosty before she spoke one word

"Move"

Henry looked up, dumbfounded… But eventually he moved aside and watched as Julie walked over to Mike and… Sat down in his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck, Henry blinked a few times before he suddenly realized what was going on and his face flushed red with embarrassment before he gave a huff and turned and briskly left the room slamming the door on the way out, the situation turned awkward inside the club room as Hila seemed to boil over with embarrassment watching how close Mike and Julie were, James and Karl showed knowing smiles, Mary the other twin seemed to be just as dumbfounded as her brother were a few moments ago, Hienrich seemed much more interested in his book but noticed the odd air and looked up and as for Mike, well he enjoyed the various perks of having a lover on his lap with a poker face, well not quite he did show a small smile, just as he was about to introduce Julie to the others Mary clicked her tongue and spoke disdainfully

So what if you have a fancy wolf and have hired an equally fancy whore? You are still a dirty non-human"

Mike paled and shouted

"Use your words!"

Before anyone had noticed Julie had appeared in front of Mary with her sword drawn and pointed at Mary's neck, mere inches form drawing blood, Julie clicked her tongue before she quickly sheathed her sword making the previously cocky Mary pale as all the blood flowed out of her face, then Julie spoke with a bright smile on her face

"Next time you insult my dear boyfriend I will separate you head from your neck"
