Most Powerful Entity in Academy-Chapter 44: Non potes a me celare quis sis.

Sword training is still handled by Professor Cain.

I heard he’s a retired war hero.

But Cain didn’t care, and he put all his effort into making his student more powerful.

They can say Cain is crazy, but the truth is he is a more caring person than they think.....

In the original game, he was the one who helped the heroine grow the most.

Because Cain knew Lara was gonna face a very difficult journey, so he did he’s best to help her...

Why am I still a student and haven’t graduated yet?

Even though I’m 6th tier, I might have come here to learn theoretical knowledge, and since I’m only 16 years old, they can’t rush things, even if they wanted to.

Definitely not because I threatened the academy director...

Ahem, that’s a story for another time.

Right now I’m in magic class with Professor Ludwig von Ionia.

He’s a vampire of noble blood... Crimson eyes, slightly elongated fangs, long black hair. A classic vampire professor.

I’m attending his class right now.

Artemis chose archery instead of this one, so someone I don’t know ended up sitting next to me.

"Wow, I never thought I’d get to sit in the same room as you. I’m Ymir," said the bodybuilder-looking guy beside me.

Professor Ludwig’s lessons were genuinely fun. The man is completely devoted to teaching...

I sighed. "I’m Raul Cainhurst. Nice to meet you," I said and glanced at Ymir.

He was handsome. I don’t have many male friends, so why not? "Wanna be friends?" he asked before I could even speak.

Despite his appearance, the guy was genuinely nice. Viking-style braided hair, brown hair, green eyes.

"Sure, why not?" I replied, but then we noticed Professor Ludwig staring at us.

The professors at this academy kind of hate me. "You, Raul Cainhurst, stand up."

Here we go again. "Yes, sir."

He was looking at me with narrowed eyes because I clearly wasn’t taking his class seriously. "Explain mana and its behavior..."

The answer to this question is simple, but if I answer it properly, it’ll turn into one of those cliché novel moments where the protagonist says too much and shocks everyone.

I stood up. I could feel the entire class staring at me.

Mana is a type of energy that has existed since the universe began. It’s similar to gravity: an invisible force. You could also compare it to light; it has frequencies. It can travel in straight lines or as waves. Thanks to research on mana frequencies, devices like phones and similar technology were created..."

I dropped way too much information. Even Ludwig looked stunned. The whole class went dead silent. Especially one person’s gaze intensified on me.

Victoria. She’s a mage, so of course she’s in this class. Seraphine too...

"Ahem. You may sit, Mr. Raul," said Professor Ludwig, unable to take his shocked eyes off me.

Because even though I’m a 6th-tier magic swordsman, I’ve been underestimated the whole time.

Ymir poked me. "Dude, you roasted him. Slow down a bit."

"Shhh, Ymir, we’re already drawing too much attention," I whispered and signaled him to shut up.

I could feel piercing stares, especially from one of the future members of Lara’s harem.

"Anyway, hanging out with you seems fun. Give me your number, let’s play games together," he said and held out his phone.

I gave him mine, and we saved each other’s numbers.

Class ended. It was one of the best lectures I’ve ever heard in my life; it made me fall asleep instantly.

Lara and the other smart students had recorded everything I said.

Because no matter how crazy I act, in their eyes, I’m a smart, crazy person.

As I was slowly getting up from my seat, three people blocked my way, and one of them slammed the desk. "Trying to run away from me, Raul?" said Seraphine.

Yes, she looked extremely angry right now.

"No, why would I run from you? All you’ve done is threaten to kill me and force me to marry you..."

Ymir couldn’t hold back his laughter. "HAHAHAHA YOU SOUND LIKE A DRAMA CHARACTER!"

But then he met Seraphine’s murderous glare.

"SORRY," he said and bowed his head.

Victoria and Lara had also arrived. "Hey, princess, shut your mouth, heroine," said Victoria.

Seraphine turned around and was about to slap her when a hand stopped her.

"You’re going too far, Seraphine."

"Shut up, Hans, or do you want to die?" Hans was visibly shaking.

Seraphine pulled her hand back.

I looked behind me. Ymir had already vanished. That bastard ditched me.

I looked at Victoria and Lara.

They left.

"Hey, little prince, fuck off," I said, but Hans’s face looked like he’d eaten shit.

"Who do you think you are, commoner?" he said, but when I looked at him like I was about to kill him, he saw his own death.

It wasn’t an illusion.

One move and his head would fly. "Hm. Whatever."

He left, too. "No one’s left in the classroom, Seraphine. What do you want?"

"Aren’t I beautiful? Why did you reject me!!! You could’ve enjoyed infinite wealth!" Seraphine screamed and finally showed her true face.

I stood up and faced her. "Beauty fades with time. Wealth disappears when you die. Tell me, princess, why would I ever want to marry you?"

Seraphine narrowed her eyes. "Non potes a me celare quis sis."

(You cannot hide from me who you are.)

My eyes widened. "Who told you that?"

Seraphine stayed silent, but the terror in my eyes looked like it could destroy her. She brought her hand to my cheek. "Does it matter?"

I slapped her hand away. "TELL ME WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE!"

My anger exploded. "Why would I tell you? Pay the price!" she shot back, but my reaction was far too intense.

"Seraphine, get the fuck out," I said.

But she hugged me. "Don’t you want to know who told me? Don’t you find secrets attractive, Raul~ ~?

"Place me like a seal over your heart... for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave" and sang this song....

I didn’t push her away.

My mind was flooded with thoughts.

’Who was it? Was I supposed to be untraceable? The director? No, she wouldn’t be that stupid...’

But when I looked at Seraphine, I saw madness in her eyes. "You’re handsome even when you’re angry."

I slowly pushed her back. "Don’t ever appear in front of me again. Princess or not, I won’t hesitate to take your head."

Those were the last words she heard from me that day, because I ran away.

She licked her lips.

It was worth making that deal with that person.

But Seraphine knows Raul is panicked, and she doesn’t know why, but she is sure he will come to her.

Raul didn’t know how many times she had listened to recordings of his voice.

Or how many times she masturbated while imagining him.

The gentle princess’s act was useless against Raul, because she knew Raul didn’t care about anything, just a little.

Being a 6th-tier meant he couldn’t be easily manipulated.

No matter what Seraphine offered, it meant nothing to Raul.

Because the 6th-tier was powerful, but she is the princess of Valentine Empire, and when times come and she will become empress....

She is gonna make Raul his husband.

Even though Seraphine didn’t know the reason behind Raul’s "madman" act, she showed him the difference between a real lunatic and a fake one.

This was no longer love.

It was an obsession.

Not born from lust, something from much deeper in the soul.

She didn’t like Raul looking at or talking to other girls.

Especially Victoria and Lara.

Right now, she was Seraphine’s arch-nemesis.

She has to discover how Lara knows Raul.

If Raul wanted to escape from Seraphine’s hands, he would have to pay a price.

That price would be revealed when the time came.

Because time reveals all secrets.

We are naked before time, and we are powerless against it.

That is a bitter truth.

Meanwhile, Raul was running to physical training class.

’Who? Ymir? Saintess Maria? How much does Seraphine really know?’

Raul was almost regretting coming to the academy.

During physical training, all of Raul’s thoughts were a complete mess...

He had to uncover the truth.

And how he would do that... was up to him.

You know, for there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.

Raul knows that principle very well.

After classes, he looks like he is very angry.

Even the professor didn’t try to talk to him.

There is something big gonna happen, but when it’s an unknown....
