Chapter 879: A Black Cat Beneath The Night Sky I



While Isdis and Merlin got a whole room for themselves, and Selina slept in with Matilda and her sister in their room, Arad ended up sleeping with Mira, Lyla, Roberta, and Tina in a

separate room alongside Serin and Ignis.

While asleep, Arad opened his eyes as Serin woke up and started crying. Using gravity magic he lifted and started gently rocking her until she went back to sleep. He then looked to the side, noticing that Mira and Tina were also awake, and so were Lyla and Roberta, the heat and humidity were just too much. The only two who could comfortably sleep were Ignis and him.

"You can't sleep?" Arad whispered, looking at them.

"It's too hot, my back is melting." Mira stood and flipped her pillow, "And it's far too humid here..."

"Yeah, but at least there are no mosquitos." Lyla smiled, "Put your head down and close your eyes, you'll eventually fall asleep."

"Lyla is right." Roberta replied, "But I bet that's what woke up Serin," She looked at Serin, she was sweating a lot.

"Yeah, it doesn't get this hot back home. I bet she isn't used to sleeping in this heat." Tina sat up, "I'll fan her a bit." She pulled a hand fan from her bag.

"You could've just told me." Arad lifted his hand and pointed at the window, "Let's see, Isdis's magic works like this, and Aella and Zephyr use those magic circles..."

"What are you trying to do?" Mira looked at him as a blue and green magic circle appeared in the air, floating toward the window.

Tiny shards of ice formed from the water particles in the air, and the wind started flowing into the room through the window thanks to Arad's magic, carrying the cold with it to engulf the room. "This should slowly cool the room, but I'll try to make sure it doesn't go overboard. How does it feel."

Lyla lifted her hand in the air's path, "It's cold, but not too much..."

"What else can you do with magic?" Roberta stared at him, "Is there anything that you can't do?"

"Complicated things. This one is simple, make some ice, and run air around it. But when things get into other territories like force and spells like draining magic it becomes hard to make them like this." Arad explained. As long as it's a simple effect, he can make it on the fly.

"I wonder how the others are sleeping in this heat." Mira giggled, "Isdis is going to be sad, she wanted to sleep with us here, but sadly couldn't."

"She can use ice magic, she can cool their room, probably." Arad laid down, "Go back to sleep. You can then ask her in the morning."

Everyone went back to sleep, and Arad kept looking at the ceiling. He couldn't fall asleep, what worried him wasn't the heat or humidity, it was a creepy feeling of not being in control of his surroundings.

"That only means that Mira found a powerful man to marry, the genius little girl. but you say normal, but he's over two meters tall, and his arms are thicker than your hips." Ramy shook her head, "I've seen too many men with muscles-for-show only, but I doubt his muscles are just decoration."

Lucia looked at Arad's face, "What do you say, Mister Nightcat." She already gave him a name. Arad blinked twice, thinking deeply about it. ^Am I really that scary? I was trying to be a normal human... I mean, I had to save Mira, it couldn't be helped.^

"You're asking a cat as if it'll reply." Ramy giggled.

"He also reminds me of Alcott...do you remember him?" Lucia hugged Arad, almost choking

him with her chest.

"Yeah, that playboy." Ramy looked away, "You don't see many men like him, do you?"

"Aron looks awfully similar to him." Lucia rocked her head, "They both are big and do

ridiculous things."

^Alcott said something about him possibly being my dad...but the time doesn't line up. Neither I nor him want to shun the possibility, but it's extremely unlikely.^ Arad remembered his conversation with Alcott. ^Cerilla and Jasmine were right, it's best to be thought off as true until proven otherwise.^

"Lucia, more came again." Ramy stood and pulled her wand, three massive tiger men approached the camp. They are of the youngsters that Arad beat up this evening, they were

still scratched.

"The chieftain allowed us to camp here, the area is off limits as students are asleep." Lucia stood there and glared at the coming three beastmen.

"You aren't the one setting rules in our land, human female." One of them replied, "It's us who set rules." He replied.

"It indeed wasn't me who set the rule, it was your chieftain, go talk with him instead." Lucia growled and Ramy stood beside her, "They don't understand words, those only communicate

with fists."

"Now that female understand." One of the three cracked his fists, "Let's get right into it."

It was then when a loud MEOW Boomed across the air, Arad was sitting between the beast

people and Lucia, glaring with those glowing purple eyes.

"A cat?!" One of them gasped.
