BXBX NOVEL Chapter 33 Forming A Plan...
After registering for the Archery course and carrying some discussion with Diana, I retired for the day and returned to my Dorm room,
Then I proceeded with the daily training routine that I anyhow do in my training room for a few hours until the sun went down.
Once after freshening up after my training and having my dinner, I inspected my status screen as I constantly do after my training to figure out my progress,

************************
While observing my status screen I assumed to myself that, subsequently completing Diana\'s test I got my previous talent, Archery.
As I already knew Archery from my previous life but it didn\'t show up in my status screen before so I got to the conclusion that it was because I didn\'t use it using this body.
I think the same goes for my magic talent as well, if I cast some high-level magic spells maybe I\'ll get a magician talent as well.
After pondering to myself I let my thoughts go, as I have some crucial knowledge about an event that I have to utilize before it\'s too late or seized by someone else and for that, I have to make some plans to accomplish it as it may be beneficial for me in the future,
After thinking to myself I made a holographic call to Aegis Winston as I need her help in executing the first part of my plan.
"Hello, Aegis" I spoke while smiling at her.
"Ahh, Ares? Did you call me because you missed me or do you want to know about the anime we last watched?" Aegis Questioned.
"Non of the above" I replied
"So is it work related then? Sorry but I\'m quite busy these days" she said.
"Mika\'s work again?" I questioned
"Nope, that\'s not it, I am busy watching animes. The anime we last saw together just released a new season"
"So you mean you\'re free right" I uttered
"No, no, no didn\'t you listen to what I have just said? I am busy, that bastards change the whole genre of that anime. You know what happened in the Latest episode?" she continued
"No, and I don\'t want to know I jus-..."
"No listen to me, You know what that bastard of the protagonist did? When his party members asked him to choose between them for him to go out with? He said \'when I can have all of you then why should I choose only one" She spoke the last part trying to imitate the character.
I was speechless watching Aegis imitating that character as well as what I just heard...
"Yup, he chose the Harem route.." She continued"
"And he isn\'t even a prince at that, but Ares you are a prince right,.. though just by name but... How many members did you include in your Harem comprising Mika? "
I was uncommunicative for a few seconds but then suddenly I realized something and spoke in a furious voice,
"You bitch, So it was you who gave those stupid ideas to Mika!! "
"Language Ares, and what do you mean by stupid ideas? I just gave her some opinions based on the novel I read not long ago, as she asked me what she should do to make her disciple happy," she answered
"...What was the novel\'s name from which you provided her your opinion? " I asked hesitantly.
"Oh, the novel\'s name was \'Forbidden love between Teacher and Student\'."
"...."
I was dumbfounded hearing that novel\'s name again and conveyed,
"Never ever give your opinions to Mika on this topic again, You understand never! "
Hearing my serious voice she was confused as she spoke again,
"Huh, Why thou-..."
I didn\'t allow her to complete her words and uttered again,
"If I heard from Mika that she got any other ideas from you, I will expose the book that you secreted under your bed. I never thought you were that kind of a woman Aegis\'"
Hearing my words she was totally horrified and replied to me stutteringly,
"Y-You H-How? "
"It wasn\'t that hard as you were so engrossed in watching anime that you forgot to hide it well"
"H-How much did you read? "
"...All of it"
"...."
"...."
Silence prevailed between us for a few seconds...
"So you called me because you want something right? What is it that you want."
Aegis spoke to change the topic and I decided to compile as I don\'t want to embarrass her anymore.
"I want the Advance healing potions" I answered
"How much do you want? "she questioned.
"The more the better" I replied,
"You know how hard it is to make an Advanced potion right? Why do you need so many Advance potions for anyway, ...Don\'t tell me you got yourself crippled? If Mika found out then there will be no S\'oreh Academy tomorrow and-..."
"Stop your chattering right there, first of all, I am not crippled or hurt anywhere, that healing portions are for someone I want to save... And second, even if it\'s Mika she couldn\'t do anything to the Academy, you know whose territory this is right? "
"Of course, I know \'Ivica Livingston\' reside there, it was just a metaphor, but the one you wanted to save isn\'t a human right? " she uttered.
!!?
"...How did you know that? " I was confused as I asked her,
"I just guessed it, what kind of human will need so many Advanced Healing portions for? So I thought it must be someone other than human" she replied.
Sometimes she acts totally dumb and in other cases, she will become excessively smart, I thought to myself and spoke again.
"Yes, you are right the potions are for a \'Demon\'."
"Demon?... Listen to me carefully Ares don\'t ever get involved with any of these demons and especially beautiful ones at that, Demons can never be trusted even if you save their lives, they will bite the hand that fed them," she spoke in a serious voice and kept a stoic face.
"Yeah, I understand so don\'t worry about it" I replied.
" I am not worried about you but for myself, Mika will kill me if she found out that I helped you save a demon"
"Don\'t worry, she won\'t find out" I assured her.
"That\'s better be the case, I will contact you once I finished preparing the potions" she spoke out.
"Alright then, I will wait for you to contact me"
I nodded my head and was about to end our call but Aegis suddenly spoke hesitantly,
"Hmmm, Ares about that book you know-...."
"You don\'t have to worry about it as my mouth is sealed and I know everyone has their own fantasies"
I spoke the last part with a huge smile, hearing me Aegis blushed in embarrassment and ended the call...
***
After ending my call with Aegis I muttered to myself,
"After the Advanced potions are prepared I will have to proceed with the next part of the plan"
To be honest, I never wanted to get involved with these demons but the one I was trying to save is very different from its other afflictions and maybe It can be of some help to me in the future...
