I regressed and became the Sword Ice King

Back in the Academy, Raph and Elsie walked quietly towards their Lecture Theatre. Both had retreated to their thoughts a while ago, contemplating what to say to the other.

A Lot of things had changed while they were absent, between themselves and perhaps even with their class.

Raph though, had already assumed the worst from the get-go.

It was already a pain to find out that the System Uprisers may try something during the festival, but he may have to worry about the System users in his class.

"Hey, Hubby?".

He turned back, the frown on his face slowly easing up.

"Yeah?"

Elsie glanced downwards, her fingers fiddling with themselves.

"Anyone is welcome to the festival, right?"

"Well…yeah, but only during visiting hours. There are a few events that don't require public involvement"

"Well….that's one way of saying it" she said as she sighed.@@novelbin@@

Raoh raised a brow for a moment, turning his head towards their building on getting to it

They walked out of the shade into the front of the building.

"Are you worried they might come looking for you?"

Elsie's expression hardened at the thought.

"I don't think my dad knows where I am. In fact, I bet his position as Chieftain will make him unable to come after me".

"I see…" Raph sighed. "You don't need to worry about that for now, Elsie".

He rubbed her head a little, his smile widening.

"When you're ready, you'll naturally go back, and if you're not and they end up coming, then you face them head-on".

Elsie's gaze glistened with the rays of the sun, her ruby pearls looking into Raph's.

She had once hesitated to open herself to anyone, especially humans, but after that day….things had changed.

Her once longed obsession over her mate had been transformed into something else. Something….worth testing out.

She nodded her head.

"You're right. I'll just focus on my task during the whole Festival".

She skidded into the Lecture hall, leaving Raph at the front door. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire

He hesitated for a moment, steeling his resolve before walking in.

Classes were usually postponed during the festival. Thus, this marked the last day they would be in class together.

He had only One job, and that was to organize his classmates and brainstorm events their class would like to do.

A simple task right? Or was it really? Children tend to be difficult at the most crucial times.

Elsie walked into their class first and the sudden increase in the noise from before caught his attention.

The girls seemed excited to see her again, after what seemed like a long time.

Raoh though, sort of dreaded what was about to happen.

With a nod, he walked into the room, the loud noises that echoed within the walls drowning down on his entrance.

At the back, the Great families sat with excitement, partly because they knew the difficulty he was about to face, and partly because the Festival was sure to be fun with Raph in charge.

"Good Morning Guys!" Raph announced, walking up to the podium where the Lecturer's table stood.

The next sound he heard was a loud click of the tongue and the sudden arrangement in the class.

'At least they know they need to get back to their seats'.

He looked up, his gaze lingering at Jean and then at Alicia.

"So, how was the class in my absence".

The silence that followed next was….expected but Javier suddenly slamming his hand and standing up…was uncalled for.

"...yes, Javier Wright?"

"You were gone for more than two weeks, and you think, What? You can just come and resume your post without any repercussions?"

Raph sighed. "Who said there wasn't?" he asked, folding his hands as he glanced up at Alicia.

She suddenly tensed up, a frown forming on her lips as she turned away. The tip of her ears turned berry red but she remained silent.

Raph sighed. "I need your cooperation in this. The other arms should have decided their Events as well. We need to arrange ourselves accordingly".

"I think you lost the right to tell us what to do when you abandon your post". Javier's statement seemed to have hit a cord in the class as they all murmured in agreement.

Well, some of them at least.

Raph rubbed his temples. Sometimes resorting to force fixes the issue, but how exactly would it at a time like this?

There were a lot of class team-involved events in the festival, and the points gained would be distributed equally to the members of the class….he didn't need to resort to force because it would lack purpose.

"Alright, Javier. What do you want me to do about it? We have business to deal with at the moment. You can't keep acting up like a child whenever you feel like it".

Javier scoffed. "A child?" he muttered. "You know nothing of it, Raffaelo Jun".

Raph remained silent for a moment, a sigh escaping.his lips when a thought crossed his mind.

"You know, there are class events and personal events during this Festival".

Javier raised a brow. "So what of it?"

"Well, you want this position, don't you?"

Raph asked, his gaze laced with a contained excitement.

Javier remained silent but his friends didn't.

Yon Duke stood up as well.

"You want to make a bet with your position on the line?"

Raph sighed. 'How else do you get children to do what you want? Over Competitive children is a norm amongst teenagers that want to prove themselves….So let them'.

"Of course, there are conditions if I win though".

"Whatever. Let's run the team event but we get to choose your team". Yon Duke said, a smirk formed on his lips.

'Hah, shit….he's taking the initiative now, huh? But a team event….I wanted to just duke it out with Javier but that should easily tempt them more'.

He shrugged. "Sure, but my victory means you will have to step down from any form of position till you leave this academy, Javier".

Javier's eyes widened in startlement, and Yon Duke was about to state his conditions as well, but he was stopped by a gentle pull by Javier.

"....you're smart. I know easily that I wouldn't win against you, Raffaelo Jun"

'Oh? Don't foolish self-proclaimed heroes usually take the bait at times like this….did Something happen while I was away?'.

Javier sat down silently, folding his hands.

"I will cooperate with you during this festival but that will be under my own decisions".

Raph raised a brow, his gaze lingering on Yon Duke, who tried to protest against Javier's sudden change in stance.

'....he's gotten smarter at least?'

"Sure, just do as I instruct, and the rest will be in your court". He turned towards Alicia.

"Alicia, Jane, what are the events our class has come up with so far?" he asked.

The girl yelped in startelement as she stood up, Jane following after with a sigh.

Both walked down slowly, their gazes fixed on Raph.

"We did come up with a snack stand, but that was taken by Class One Bronze, then there was the Maid cafe that one of us came up with…"

"A maid cafe?" Raph repeated, an image of Elsie in a maid's dress flashing in his thoughts.

He shook his head. "Taken?" he asked.

"Yes," Alicia replied as they got to the podium.

"We also thought of a play, also arts display, warrior combat display, scare house….and pretty much all the common events".

Raph sighed, rubbing his temples. "So you're telling me they've all been taken…and we're the only class that hasn't come up with a class event?" he asked.

They both nodded.

"We also haven't distributed the participants for the Academy events".

Academy events were different from class events.

Academy events were usually carried out by the Academy itself, featuring Mage Combat, Warriors Combat, Alchemy Showdown and many more interesting events.

The current Academy Event consisted of seven, five of which were carried out within a class and The remaining two were carried out against other classes.

Class Events, on the other hand, were more like showcases a class does for the Academy, an exciting time to show off their skill, imaginations or even the hot girls in class.

It was the usual setting for a festival in a normal Non-magical Academy.

"Hah…. What a mess".

Alicia shrugged. "I did come up with a few things but they….weren't accepted".

Jane's head snapped towards her, a look of disgust written all over his face.

"A Yaoi Cafe is not acceptable anywhere, Damn it!"

Raph raised a brow. "Yaoi?"

The class began to laugh, ever so quietly, but that just picked up Raph's interest more.

"What's that?" he asked.

They turned towards him, Alicia fiddling with her fingers while Jane sighed in exasperation.

"....you know…" he muttered, pulling the tip of his index finger from both hands towards each other.

Raph raised a brow in confusion and Jane sighed.

"You know…how…a child is made right?"

Raph nodded. 'Obviously….I did it….a few days ago'. His gaze shifted towards Elsie, who was also staring at him after hearing Jane's question.

They suddenly turned away in unison, their embarrassment palpable.

"Ye–Ye–Yeah, so what of it?"

A few members of the class noticed it nearly instantaneously and their intrigue was pulled.

One of those would be Meadow, who sat quietly between her two bodyguards.

"Alright…so instead of…you know…the woman's…."

Raph found this comedic for a bit since a son of the Holy Family was literally using descriptions to explain….the forbidden act.

His head snapped in realization when the tip of Jane's two fingers were brought together again.

His head whipped towards Alicia, a clear sign of disgust on his face.

"Ewwwww!!!"
