Chapter 109 Magic Theory (3)
After dismissing the class, Luna didn't delay anymore and walked out from the room with a smile on her face.

After she dissapeared from the lecture hall, the students immediately erupted in a wistful and longing discussion. n..o--v(/e./L--b()1--n
"Wow.... She's amazing..."
"And beautiful. Passionate. Lovely. Haa... I'm in love. I'm so happy I enrolled in this school, I think my life is fulfilled... only if..."
"Heh, drop your wishful fantasies. Someone like her wouldn't notice students like us. She's in a different league."
"Though... she's really talented! She's also kind and gentle. I learned a lot from her lesson today, no wonder she's a Grand Sorcerer's disciple."
Luna Edelfelt's appearance remained on their minds for a long while, as if an unforgettable dream.
Whether man or woman, everyone was charmed by her permeating passion and lovely appearance.
She was truly, in every sense of the word, perfect.
Amidst all the discussion, Elias calmly stood up with both Ragna and Hajin following behind him.
All the students in the room suddenly turned quiet.
But at that moment, a cheerful and soft voice suddenly broke the silence.
"Hey! Corleone, wait a moment!"
"Hm?"
Elias turned around, confused. He looked at where the voice came from and saw two figures walking to their position.
One was a violet-haired man with a soft, effeminate appearance that made him seem harmless and profoundly kind.
Accompanying him, it was a familiar female student with long curly orange hair and cute glasses that made her seem quite adorable.
Huh... These two are—!
Before Elias could prepare himself, the leading violet-haired man suddenly ran to him and gave him a smile.
"Elias Corleone, right? My name is Rain Violetstar. I'm one of the students you saved back then in the demon Invasion. I just want to—"
"Wait. Stop."
Elias made him shut up instantly. He closed his eyes and massaged his head, feeling a massive headache come to him.
'Shit.'
Similar to some of his characters, the mere appearance of Rain made a part of the memories he locked inside the depths of his mind be released.
'...You devil... How dare you raise your hand against...'
'...You son of a whore...! Ah—! No..!'
Elias widened his eyes as he suddenly bit his lips strongly, causing a trail of mush blood to appear.
"Cousin?!"
"Elias?!"
"Boss?"
Rain, Hajin and Ragna suddenly looked at him in mix confusion and concern, their eyes widening.
Slap!
Rain was about to reach out his hand but Elias immediately slapped it away, looking at the former with a sharp glare.
Feeling the sharp glare, Rain froze in his place. He took a step back in nervousness and raised his arms apologetically.
"...Ah, sorry? Did I... do something wrong?"
"..."
Elias stared at him for a moment before shaking his head. He took a deep breath and recomposed himself.
"Sorry, I... nevermind. What were you saying again?"
"Are you alright?"
Rain asked instead, worried. He seemed genuine in his kindness and concern, but it only served irritation to Elias more.
'Fucking hell. Just get straight to the point.'
Elias sighed, adjusting his coat. He gazed at Rain while his expression naturally returned to the cool and passive face he always wore.
"Get straight to the point. I'm busy. What do you need?"
"Ah, it's nothing... I just want to thank you for saving me last time. In the examination, I mean."
Rain scratched his head awkwardly. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt like he was being a nuisance to Elias.
Elias sighed and turned around. It was merely that.. Seemingly disinterested, he called out to his teammates and walked away.
"Hajin, Ragna. Let's go."
Surprised, Rain was speechless. He merely stared at them with wide eyes as they slowly dissapeared from his view.
"Well... that happened. Did... i do something wrong? I feel like I did something lextremely unnecessary."
"No. I don't think you did anything particularly wrong,"
Roshia suddenly patted his back, supporting him with a smile. She looked at where Elias and gang walked away from and sighed.
"He's just a difficult person. I can't get a read from him at all. I think he just doesn't like you or doesn't like being disturbed in general."
"Is that so? I could've sworn that I saw..."
Rain muttered under his breath, much to Roshia's confusion. But he suddenly shook his head and shrugged.
"It was... probably my imagination. Anyways, let's go and meet Sumi and Elizabeth."

On the hallways of the academy, Elias and the gang walked together quietly as a tense silence rose between them.
Hajin couldn't understand what happened. He felt like something was off with Elias. He seemed more... colder and serious than usual.
However, Elias cold expression stopped him from bringing it up to his face. It was likely something private.
Hajin joked a lot of times, but he even he knew that there was room for jokes and such and this situation was definitely not one of them.
Elias expression was cold, a heavy frown accompanying his sharp intimidating eyes. He seemed exceptionally terrifying and dangerous right now.
If previously the aura he always exhibited was a calm, overwhelming oppresive feeling—then he was like a sharp blade right now.
A volatile, dangerous sharp blade.
The students in the hallways felt like if they did anything wrong, they would catch the ire of that sharp blade.
Therefore, a strange scene occured where every student on the hallways distanced themselves the best they can from the trio.
At this moment, Ragna knitted his brows in a frown and spoke.
"Where are we going?"
"Faculty."
Elias replied calmly. If he was angry or not, it didn't show in his face at all. He had the usual passive and cold expression he always wore.
It made Hajin slightly concerned. It was though Elias had full control of his emotions.
After a while of walking in silence, they finally returned back to the Hunter Department and arrived in front of the teachers faculty.
Elias stepped forward, knocked twice and opened the door.
