The ambiance of the sun glowed in a forever, ethereal, warm hue cascading upon the surface of the Academy and imbued energy into the lives that were suffused in its brilliance.
It was late afternoon, and the intensity of its rays became a testament to the time that ticked.
Though seasons and temperatures were regulated by the Academy, its effects remained the same.
Amongst the students were those who decided to skip the rest of their classes, enjoying the comfort of their newfound club. Albeit, a little bit too much.
Ciara and Morganna were present this time. Ciara was busy checking the books that Jane had recently placed on the upper floor while Morganna seemed to be enjoying a cup of tea and tray of biscuit with Louis at the corner of the Club room where the intricately, structured, round tables and chairs were placed.
Their gazes currently on the glass walls, observing the students preparing for combat classes.
"That's the Bronze class?" Louis asked with an intrigued tone as he bit through a biscuit.
Mariam nodded silently, turning towards him soon after. "Yeah, they are". She replied.
Just then two more figures walked into the Clubroom, attracting the attention of the others.
Raph cursed under breath as he walked towards the desk and table, while dreading the predicament he faced at the moment.
"You can't just come in here looking like that!" Darell cried out from the couch. His gaze is intense and fiery at the sight of Elsie on Raph's back.@@@@
"Like I wanted this". Raph said with a sigh, slowly tapping Elsie. "Um, Elsie, can you get off now? We're dine with classes". He said with a skeptical tone in his voice.
Elsie giggled while she wagged her tail, clinging unto him tightly. She placed her hands on his shoulders, raising a little above him and looking down at his gaze. A playful smile on her face. "No"
Raph sighed deeply, turning his gaze away as a slight red formed on his cheeks. He sat down on the chair, taking a glance at the room at the same time.
His expression grew thinner as he observed their gazes on him.
"What?! It's not like I wanted this!".
"But you seem to be enjoying it".
Ciara said from above, attracting their gazes.
"Isn't that right?! You see that! Even Ciara sees it" Darell clicked his tongue in annoyance, resuming his position on the couch. "Just fuck it, do whatever you want!"
Jane chuckled on his seat. He was on the other side of the couch, and he was currently reading a book. "It can't be helped. She's excited about your win today, Raph".
"Oh yeah" Darell muttered before turning towards Raph. "How did you do that? I don't remember ever seeing you in the training halls".
"Training Halls?" Raph repeated with a raised brow. 'Ohhhh....there was a training hall....would that suffice?' He thought in realization. "It just came to me as I watched". Raph explained with a sigh when Elsie suddenly bobbed her head upwards.
"What do you mean?! It's because you're strong, Husband". She said with a wide smile on her face.
He quickly looked up to find Elsie smirking at him, her lips pursed together.
His right hand slowly tapped his neck, as he raised a brow. 'Did she....Did she just....' He thought in confusion, but he decided, why not just ask her directly?
"Elsie did you"– "Shhhhh"
He was cut off by Elsie as she placed her right index finger on his lips and her left on hers. Her lips stretched into a smile. "It's a reward".
'The fuck do you mean by reward?!' Raph's cheeks glowed red as he looked away, attending to the papers he left before he went for classes.
'She's gonna be the end of me!'
The two Demi-humans stopped their argument in unison when they noticed something amiss and slowly turned towards Raph and Elsie.
For some reason, all was not right at that moment, they both seemed preoccupied with their own things as if something had just happened.
Darell raised a brow and turned towards Jane, while Mariam glanced at Louis.
"..What happened? Why does the atmosphere seem different?" He asked.
Jane shook his head, his cheeks light red as he struggled to regain focus on his book.
Darell's gaze intensified as he grabbed Jane by the collar. "What the fuck happened? Why are you acting weird?!" He asked in confusion, when he heard a yelp behind him.
Turning towards the direction, he noticed Mariam holding her mouth in shock while Louis leaned away from her.
He had just whispered something to her, and it seemed to have caused quite a shock in her.
He turned towards Jane again, his gaze intensifying. "Bro, what happened?!" He asked, desperation laced in his tone.
Jane groaned, taking a glance at Raph and then slowly upwards at Ciara.
It seemed like she had resumed her task, but he was certain she saw it too.
He slowly released Darell's grip on his collar and leaned into his ears.
For a moment, Darell's body shook in anticipation, but after Jane whispered something to him, it felt like the world had flipped the other way round. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
A vein bulged out of his forehead as he attempted to charge at them, when Jane held him.
"Let me at them! Let me at them, fuck! This is a clubroom, damn it!" He cried out in rage, but jealousy was laced in as well.
"Calm down, you idiot" Jane pulled him back to the couch while the others resumed whatever it was they were up to at that moment.
Raph sighed inwardly. 'Yeah, life ought to be like this...' He looked up to find Elsie pleasantly fiddling with his hair. '....Right?'
