Chapter 89: Chapter 20: Demonic Urges
"Black wings..."
"Pretty."
Her soft hand grasped Lancelot as he was about to leave, her beautiful face like a frozen sculpture looking at him before tilting her head.
"See again?" She asked, with a soft voice, her eyes slowly fluttering.
\'Hmmmm?\'
At first, he didn\'t realise what she was saying, only clicking after a moment while Guin and Sumika were already pouting at her holding his hand.
\'Today isn\'t a good time to anger them!\' Lancelot thought about the morning issue with Sumika and that women\'s bodies would sync when they lived together.
He saw her pale cheeks smiling for the first time and felt his heart throbbing. This woman was known never to show emotion or smile... \'It seems that if she did, more people would love her rather than loathe her.\'
Then it clicked she was in the crowd when he fought Arthur and transformed.
"You mean that you want to see my wings?"
"Mm."
She nodded before tightening the grip on his hand and looking delighted.
\'Was she not arrogant but didn\'t speak well with strangers?\'
Lancelot also realised in this life that many people he thought were bad or not worth knowing were not so bad... \'Let\'s judge people only after we know them in future.\' he thought before smiling.
"I cannot show you right now, but how about we meet up tomorrow after class, and I will show you in private?"
"Nnn!" She nodded twice before releasing his hand, her body transforming into beautiful azure-coloured ice before dancing towards the door, always at her own pace as she vanished into the direction of the distant classrooms.
"Lancelot..."
"Master..."
He turned to see them both pouting before they grabbed his arms and pulled him towards the exit.
Their jealousy towards this new woman was amusing and reminded him of when they first met Morgana and Marimo.
"Let\'s go; I was just talking to her..."
"Just talking~ yes, holding hands for several minutes."
"Master is a womaniser!"
[...]

After lunch, they had another class which wasn\'t that interesting but covered the Empire\'s history.
\'So boring...\'
Even Evaine stood in the centre, looking tired as she began to quote from an old-looking textbook.
"The Empire of Britannia started in the early 600BA. Its first king was named Edward and was born in the western islands where he fought a vicious war against the Celts to secure the land and build what is known as the Empire today."
\'Lies... The Celts helped him make the kingdom, then were murdered and executed because they believed in a goddess rather than a god.\'
Lancelot hated the history class, but the girl behind him wouldn\'t let him sleep as her little Fairy Queen would keep putting ice down his shirt if he put his head down.
\'Damn, Rank 10! See, If I don\'t strip her pants and slap her fat ass in front of everyone!\'
*Ding-Dong*
The time for Avalon came, but this wasn\'t mandatory, and some students found fighting in that world a chore and wouldn\'t take it seriously until it was too late.
Lancelot wasn\'t entering Avalon today because of his date with Evaine.
Much to the sad cries of Morgana, Ikumi and Marimo. Rather the most annoying was Rena, who messaged him like a needy girlfriend about the most stupid things.
[Lancelot! I found a tasty monster; let\'s eat it together!]
[Lancelot! A stupid demon attacked my second village today, haha I crushed his entire army; let\'s go pillaging together!]
Things like this kept coming... Even when she knew they were more than 1,400 miles from each other and it would take him more than 30 hours flying to reach her.
However, he didn\'t ignore her and told her why he couldn\'t. So he dreaded reading her next message.
[Ok! I will slowly conquer all the demons to the east and play!]
It seemed their last session of copulation had changed her affection towards him, changing how she acted and treated him.
\'Ah... forgive me, Milvar and Eldar...\'
A message from her commander came shortly after that...
[Please... Forgive us and take care with your words. Our Queen is now crushing the small demons around us... All for a single reason that is: "I want to have fun with Lancelot."]
\'...\'
Lancelot was guilty because he didn\'t tell her to stop, instead messaging Rena with [I cannot wait! Let\'s have some fun!]
Sometimes, he liked to enjoy life.
Especially when a Demon Queen would clear most enemy demons for him.
***
Sumika and Guinevere stood on the first-year portal platform while Lancelot watched and ensured she got there safely.
He still got annoyed by the second years and their stupid comments.
"Hey, isn\'t that the guy who slept with Arthur\'s fiancee and made her pregnant?"
"I hear she\'s a complete slut that sleeps with anyone."
The rumours and different versions of the truth were too numerous for him to care anymore.
Seeing the pair entering Avalon, he could breathe air as he turned around, left the platform, and headed towards his meeting place with Evaine. Thankfully there was no rule about student and teacher dating as long as both were of legal age.
\'I wonder where she will take me, a cheap stall or restaurant?\'
Lancelot knew she wanted a more in-depth lesson on how to cast magic better, but until he beat her, she could be satisfied with the mana manipulation.
He didn\'t want to teach her how to switch and blend elements because that woman would become too strong for him to win!
\'It\'s not like I cannot beat her, but I learned to do this because I used to have low magic and forced myself to the limit to cast my elemental blade attacks... It\'s a slightly embarrassing memory for me.\'
It was also partially why he had yet to train his elemental sword strikes.
He had a feeling of inferiority and shame that he wanted to conquer these feelings before using them.
\'Hmmm? Four people are following me... I can feel a high amount of Ether coming from their bodies. So they are likely second years. Probably Arthur\'s lackeys or people who want to get credit with him.\'
He was still a target for people wanting to get closer to the top or to bully him.
\'Why do people like these types of people... Even when they are trash? I guess I can only pity them. I hope one day they realise how foolish their actions are.\'
As Lancelot continued to walk, he could feel that the people were closing the distance behind him.
\'I guess it\'s time to teach them a lesson.\'
His Gale Blade was damaged when fighting Rena, so he could only use his phantasmal swords.
\'This is a good way to get the practice and improve the skills with them.\'
He was now in a quiet alleyway near the academy, and nobody would dare fight in such a place; the four people were slightly behind him as he suddenly rushed forward before hiding in a small gap, waiting for them to pass.
Several purple blades of light began to form around his body, holding two longswords that pulsed with a vibrant Ether.
"Haha! We caught him now; Arthur will praise us for helping him and ensuring his reputation is fixed."
The four people ran past the small gap where Lancelot hid, unaware of his presence.
"Where is he? I swear I felt his aura nearby."
"I can smell his scent."
"You\'re just crazy. That guy isn\'t a dog or an animal."
\'Hmmmm?\'
Suddenly, one person sniffed the air and looked towards Lancelot\'s direction.
"I smell his scent nearby."
\'Damn! It\'s that stupid guy again, the one sniffing me the last time!\'
Lancelot didn\'t know how this guy could smell his presence, but it was a slight concern.
\'I will have to get rid of him first.\'
"Huh?"
The one guy was suddenly grabbed and thrown to the floor, his eyes bulging out in surprise as he felt a blade penetrates his stomach, the blade avoided the fatal places, but the boy would need to piss into a bag for the rest of his life. He would never get an erection in his life, as Lancelot\'s eyes showed a fierce glint.
His golden eyes can see almost everything related to Ether, the flow, and how it travels around the body.
\'Hehe.\'
Lancelot stabbed in the right area to cause irreparable damage.
"What the fuck! Kill him!"
The others were about to attack, but their limbs were instantly cut off as Lancelot\'s blades swept the ground, blood and severed body parts covering the floor as the three screamed in pain.
"AHHHHH! FUCKING BASTARD!"
"SOMEONE HELP US!"
"MY ARMS ARE GONE!"
Lancelot\'s killing intent was unleashed as the people began to scream and beg for help.
"Scream all you want, but nobody will save you... You did this to yourselves."
\'Now I can have some fun torturing them until the end!\'
Lancelot had always hated bullies, especially those weak people who thought that numbers and power were the answer. It reminded him of being a weak child at the orphanage, his food stolen and beaten until his mouth tasted only of copper and iron.
These memories would never leave him, and the scars would remain forever.
"FUckk- PLEASE I\'M SORRY!"
"YES! WE ARE SORRY! JUST LET US LIVE!"
*Crunch*
*Snap*
*Slice*
The man\'s screams and bone-breaking sounds echoed through the empty streets, Lancelot\'s eyes shining a bright red before smiling as his Ether blades danced and ripped the flesh and muscles from their bodies.
\'Will killing them be a problem... I want to kill them...\'
"What\'s going on!?"
A woman\'s voice sounded, clearly drawn here by the shouting of the four idiots now half crippled.
Lancelot stopped his torture and turned his head slightly, seeing a beautiful woman dressed in the academy uniform.
\'Ah, Evaine...\'
She saw him before looking at the men on the ground and screaming.
"You bastard! What did you do to them!?"
She quickly realised they weren\'t dead but half mutilated; their wounds started bleeding everywhere as the other three begged her to help.
"Help us!"
"It was him! Please..."
"Fuck!"
Evaine looked at Lancelot before pointing her hand towards the children, begging to seal their wounds, as her eyes looked like she might cry watching Lancelot walk past her, his face flat and without emotion.
"Lancelot... Wait..."
He stopped walking momentarily before turning his head, his golden eyes looking at hers before sighing.
"They are Arthur\'s friends... People who bully me, Guin and Sumika."
He expected her to shout or tell him to stop, but she didn\'t as her hands sealed the wounds of the cripples on the ground, stopping them from bleeding to death while his mind felt relief and calm.
\'Thank you for understanding, Evaine...\'
Lancelot knew they would live, although some may never walk or use their arms or Ether again.
However, what surprised him the most was that Evaine\'s hand suddenly grasped his, her chest heaving from her rushing after him, drawing his eyes to her soft breasts shaking with their rounded shape swaying in her loose, blue dress.
"I said wait... we still have to eat together."
