Chapter 34: Academy Combat Training [1]
Brandon, who was sitting on his desk, turned his head to look at the entrance and saw Eira and Calistra walking in.
Eira hurriedly ran to him and clapped her hands in excitement with a smile on her face "Oh, your new uniform looks great."

It was the same colortone as women, white shirt and black blazer with black pants.
"Oh, thanks..."
"Brand."
At this time, he heard another cheerful voice and he turned his head to look at Elena who was walking towards his deck.
With a jump, she hopped over the desk and sat beside him.
"Woah!" she whistled, leaning in to look at his outfit. "Your uniform looks even better up close. You clean up nicely, huh?"
Eira looked at this in amusement, 'Seems like he got a friend at the first day of Academy.'
Meanwhile, Brandon shifted slightly and gave Elena some place to sit as she made herself comfortable beside him.
Elena turned back to Brandon and leaned in slightly. "So, tell me... how many girls have tried to ask you out already?"
Brandon shot her a deadpan look "Really?"
Elena hummed, unconvinced. "Oh? With that uniform and that face? Tch, I bet half the girls in this room are thinking about it already."
Eira rolled her eyes with a chuckle "Elena, stop teasing him."
"Brandonnnnnnnnnnnnn~"
"Come here, your favourite senior is hereeee~"
Brandon's jaw dropped as he turned his head to look at Astrid standing near the door with a smirk on her face.
The students in the class were surprised to see one of the members of the Council of Seven come to their 1st-year class.
Some students gasped, others whispered among themselves, and a few simply gawked at the unexpected visitor.
Selena, who was the class president of the first year, hurriedly stood up and walked to the door "Lady Astrid, may I know the reason you are here?"
With a grin, Astrid glimpsed at Brandon "I came here to meet my cute junior, Brandon."
"Brandon..." Selena's voice trailed off as she turned to look at him, so did the whole class.
Brandon facepalmed himself 'This annoying woman...'
With a sigh, he stood up from his seat, resigning himself to whatever nonsense was about to happen.
Walking up to the door, he looked at Astrid with a tired expression "What do you want now?"
Astrid looked at him from top to bottom and nodded to herself "You look handsome in that uniform, as expected of my boyfriend."
Brandon raised his hand and bonked her head "I am not your boyfriend, idiot."
Rubbing her head, she just chuckled "Well, I just came here to deliver my morning kiss."
Before he could react, she leaned forward and wrapped his arms around his neck as she kissed his lips.
Right there.
In front of the entire classroom.
A bit later, she pulled back from the kiss and hit his chest playfully "See ya later, boyfriend."
With that, she spun around on her heel and walked out of the classroom as if she hadn't just dropped an atomic bomb on the first-year students.
Brandon shook his head helplessly, looking at her antics and turned to the classroom.
Wha-
But he was dumbfounded to see the shocked faces.
Some had their jaws on the floor.

(◎o◎✿)
What the fuck just happened?
(◎o◎✿)
The entire classroom collectively short-circuited.
Some had their jaws hanging open. Others sat frozen in shock.
And a few were already whispering furiously among themselves.
Elena, who had been teasing him just moments ago, now looked as if she had just witnessed a scandalous crime.
Eira blinked rapidly, as her brain was still processing the information.
Calistra crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow in amusement.
Selena looked like she had just been thrown into the middle of a political conspiracy.
With a sigh, he walked back to his desk.
Elena was the first to break the silence.
"Dude..." She turned to face Brandon, pointing at him.
"You're telling me you have a Council of Seven member chasing after you, and you didn't think to mention this?"
Eira muttered in amazement, "She just kissed you in front of the whole class and called you her boyfriend."
Brandon let out a sigh "That's just how she is, an idiot."
Selena swallowed before speaking carefully. "Brandon... you do realize that Lady Astrid's fanbase is massive, right?"
Brandon looked at her "Fanbase?"
She hesitated before continuing. "...And that those fans will not take kindly to someone she publicly calls her boyfriend?"
Brandon paused.
Huh.
Wait a minute.
That... might actually be a problem.
Elena grinned and tapped his shoulder "Ohhh, you are so screwed, dude."
Brandon rubbed his temples in irritation "For the last time, I am not her boyfriend."
Calistra finally spoke in her usual calm tone "Well, whether you are or not, the entire school will be talking about this by lunchtime."
Hearing this, Brandon's eyes narrowed 'The next time I see her, I will give her some beatings.'
With a giggle, Elena stood up and wrapped his arm around his shoulder "Don't worry.. I will be with you if those fans try to do something to you."
Eira also joined in "Me too..."
Letting out a sigh, he sat on top of the desk and asked "By the way, is it theory today too?"
"Hmmm... no, I think it should be Abberant Combat Training."
Oh?
---
Brandon and the other students of the Ascendant Class walked through the grand halls of the Academy's Training Facility as their footsteps echoed against the polished floors.
Looking at the High-facilitated building, Brandon raised an eyebrow "Hmm.."
He hummed under his breath and soon, everyone entered the facility.
Walking through the big halls, Brandon glimpsed at the holographic display of different Abberant monsters shown outside.
He casually wrapped his arm around Elena's shoulder
"Elena," Brandon asked, tilting his head slightly, "what kind of training is this exactly?"
She didn't mind the closeness, simply leaning into his side as they continued walking.
"Well, using high-tech simulation technology, they replicate the appearance and attack patterns of Aberrants through holographic projections."
"It's not just an illusion, though... the system can create physical feedback, meaning the attacks feel real. It's basically a way to simulate combat experience without actually dying."
Brandon was surprised to hear this "So we're fighting hard-light monsters?"
"Yep."
"And they hit back?"
"Oh, definitely."
Am I fucked?
"You know, when I signed up for this class, I thought we'd start with something easy... maybe some light sparring or simple ether control drills."
Elena let out a chuckle and nudged his chest "Oh no, this is the Ascendant Class—the best of the best. No baby steps here, pretty boy."
Though Elena didn't mind his closeness, someone else did.
Eira, who was walking ahead, turned her head to look at them, and her gaze narrowed slightly to see their close physical touch.
She didn't know why but she was quite displeased to see them getting along like that.
But she cleared those thoughts and asked "Do you know which Aberrants we'll be facing today?"
Elena had a thoughtful look as she spoke "From what I heard, they'll start us off with D class to C class Aberrants, things that appear near minor ruptures".
"But knowing the instructors, they'll crank up the difficulty if they think we're handling it too well."
Eira let out a sigh "Of course they will."
But then she remembered something "Wait, Brandon..."
She hurriedly walked to him and grabbed his hand before pulling him from there "Come with me."
Eh?
Though confused, he let himself get pulled by her, and they reached a nearby corridor.
She stopped and glanced back at him as a faint blush crept onto her cheeks.
Raising her hand, she tucked a hair behind her ear as she glanced up at him.
Then, in a voice almost too soft, she muttered "Should we kiss?"
Hm? Brandon's eyes squinted and for a second he thought he misheard her.
She cleared her throat and her face turned a deeper shade of red as she quickly explained "I remember that the skills you mimic and the ether you absorb will fade away quickly... so I thought..."
Her legs shifted slightly as she avoided his gaze "... this would be the fastest way..."
"Like... uh.. you are going to fight monsters, so you might need my skill and ether."
Brandon immediately understood.
It is true, though he has reserves of ether he absorbed from Ravene, the skill he absorbed the first day has already disappeared.
"But, is it really ok with you?"
Eira bit her lip before speaking "A-As I said.. this whole situation started because you tried saving me back in the rupture."
Brandon let out a soft chuckle "You don't have to do this out of guilt, you know."
"I-I'm not doing it out of guilt! Just shut up and take my ether."
Before he could respond, she took a step forward, placing her hands against his chest for balance, and then...
She leaned in and kissed his lips.
At first, the kiss was slow and clumpsy as she was unsure how to kiss.
His hand instinctively moved and gripped her waist to steady her.
Eira made a soft noise against his lips but didn't pull away.
Instead, she pressed closer, as if making sure the transfer was successful.
For a moment, there was only the kiss, the warmth, and the sensation of power flowing between them.
And then... hesitantly—Eira pulled back.
Her breath was uneven as she looked at his lips.
Brandon licked his lips, tasting the lingering hint of her ether "...Damn, that was great."
Eira who was still flustered, immediately shoved him away.
"D-Don't say anything stupid!" she stammered and she felt her entire face burning from embarrassment.
Brandon chuckled and raised his hands in surrender "Hey, I wasn't complaining."
"J-Just shut up and go win your fight," she muttered before storming away, her long blonde ponytail whipping behind her.
He closed his eyes feeling the ether signature flow into him 'Her skill is easy to mimic...'
'And another thing, the ether I absorbed, its a lot less than I got from Aunt Ravene.. and even kissing her boobs I got a lot of ether.'
'So, doing anything intimate gives a lot of ether?'
'...Interesting.'
However he dispelled those thoughts and walked away from there, back to the training hall.
As he left, a figure appeared out of nowhere "Oh, they were kissing."
Elena muttered with a cheeky grin on her lips.
