Next day, after almost six months, I finally went back to the Academy. Many people stared at me with questioning gazes, but I guess it's normal. They probably thought I graduated already.
After talking with the Dean and scheduling my missed exams, I went to my beloved Senior Demon office. I was obviously assaulted with his angry screams and given smelly face, but all reverted after I showed him the plant rotation technique, which is by all means fairly simple, but it took humans a few centuries to come up with it.
In love with the simplicity of the solution for a long time problem, Senior Demon discusses fervently and even improved the technique I 'came up with'.
One down, one to go.
Reaching out to the knob from Junior Demon's office, I can hear my heart pound loudly. I curse myself for getting me in this situation. How stupid am I to forget to attend classes?
"You should just come in"
'Curse this master spy for knowing there's someone here'
I take a deep breath and open the door.
Sitting behind a black elegant table, is Mr. Dawson Jr., my beloved Junior Demon. With a kind smile, he looks up to see who is his guests, and thickens his smile even more when he identifies me. I am unsure if he's already enjoy my desperation or if he's imagining how can he make me suffer. Either way, his smile gave me shivers in my back.
"Look who's here. To think I would be graced by the person of the moment. The woman who achieved what no one could. The person who can even scorn her future Queen. I must say I'm delighted to be in your presence. Please, forgive me for not bowing in your presence. You see, my loyalty is still to the Royal Family, although I admire you"
The small smile that I mustered to plant on my face was almost pulverized by his poisoning tongue. I'm really bad dealing with him. Maybe if I was not so scared of him, I could answer back, too bad his lifeline is terrifying.
"Professor jokes. I am but a humble student in front of a wise and noble teacher. I don't hold the power you so much boast, I am still a little girl in front of the Royal Family.
"This indeed you are, but I think you're mistaken in the first part, I don't think I have a student like you. There was indeed someone like that, but you see, she didn't attend months of classes. I unfortunately had to take her down"
As he said the last word he stabbed the pen in his hand in the table, putting at least half of the pen inside the table. The creepiest of all is that his smile never left his face. If you ignore the pen deep in the table, he's still the kind teacher the ladies go crazy for.
"You see teacher... I was under the Princes orders, but I promise I didn't lag behind my studies. I can make a test if you want. I even came up with this idea about how we can better divide our economy to increase our efficiency and-"
Mr. Dawson Jr., raised his hand and made me stop on my barrage of words.
"I'm sorry Miss Dubois, I'm afraid I can't let you attend my class any further. It would be unfair to the rest of the class"
"But I-"
"No buts Miss. I'm really sorry, but even if you were under His Highness order, you should have made time. Besides, even the future Crown Princess and the Crown Prince are attending classes, are you implying they made you do their work too, because I can't another explanation"
I held the snort that almost came out. Of course I'm more busy than the pair of dogs. I almost did all the dirty work. If I didn't no better I would start to question where was the spy master of the kingdom when that stupid Mayne died. But I did. So I just opened a strained smile and denied whatever accusation he thrower at me.

"My faults are inexcusable. But if teacher is kind enough to help me come up with a solution for my problem I would be in debt to you"
"Of course I would help a poor student. Although I can't put you in my class anymore, what do you think about having private classes?"
Although he asked me in a very gentle voice, his eyes were telling me I had no chance whatsoever to deny it. I am sure that all the ladies would die for a chance to have a private class with him, but for me this was like the doom knocked at my door and said he came to me.
Before I could think of how to dodge the proposal, Junior Demon came up with a pile of books and put in front of me.
"Is good that you agree, be here at Wednesday and Thursday at 5 p.m. okay? I want you to memorize this books for next week. I unfortunately can't make you company any more since I have another appointment now, but I hope to see you next week Miss Dubois"
As he said that, he got up and escorted me out of the room.
"Oh, and thanks for the sandwiches and tea. They are my favorites"
Taking away a basket where my lunch was, he closed the door on my face.
After seconds staring at the door, and understanding everything he said, I looked at the books in my hand and could only sigh to my future torment.
'At least was better than I hope. I am sure I can handle the private classes just as well'
Walking away from the office., I had no idea the big flag I just raised.
