Reborn As A Nephilim: The Rise of A Manaless Prince

"YAWNNNN"

Zen teared up as he let out an audible yawn.

"Man, that was so long. The headmaster wasn't kidding about boring us to sleep."

Arvell nodded his head in agreement.

He explained information that was already readily available in the student handbook.

However, most students didn't read it, so it would have benefited the whole first-year student body to hear.

Of course, if only the majority of said students didn't doze off during the speech.

Zen did end up dozing off, but a tight pinch from Reyna, sitting on his side, gave him a rude awakening.

While he was pissed for wakening up in such a manner, one glare from Reyna silenced any residual qualms he had.

It wasn't like he could really say anything in his defence either.

The headmaster was one of the most respectable people in the country, someone on the same level as Wilfried.

Disrespecting him by falling asleep during his speech was simply inexcusable.

He wasn't allowed to scream from the pain either since they were still technically listening to the headmaster's speech.

All Zen could do was rub his stinging forearm with a wronged expression.

"According to the headmaster, all of us will be heading to our respective classrooms," Reyna pointed out.

"Yeah, we are supposed to meet our classmates and familiarize ourselves with the campus for tomorrow's lessons," Arvell explained.

"Wait, so like... Where do we find out our class arrangements again?"

Reyna threw Zen a glare.

"Did you not pay attention during the speech?"

Zen flinched before putting his hands in the air in a surrendering pose.

"I did my best, but I couldn't quite catch that."

"Sigh... If you don't know, just follow us. We'll take you there."

"Thanks, Reyna. As usual, I can count on you."

Reyna let out a soft sigh before turning her head to the side.

'You rely on me that much?'

Hearing Zen's words, a bright but nearly imperceptible smile formed on her lips.

A smile that was too small for anyone nearby to really notice.

"Kyuu!"

A small cry rang out as all four of them turned in the direction of Arvell's backpack.

"Did you have a nice rest, buddy?"

"Kyuu!"

While Reyna and Zen looked unperturbed by the sight of August suddenly appearing out of Arvell's backpack, Lydia's eyes went wide with shock.

"W-what? Is that a beast?"

Arvell nodded, but deep down, he wasn't sure if dragons were actually beasts.

Lykos seemed to be relatively tight-lipped regarding the subject, so he couldn't gain any accurate information.

Whenever he did ask his mentor, Lykos only told him that he wasn't quite strong do even do anything with the information.

Worrying about problems he couldn't handle was just a waste of time.

Arvell removed the backpack from his back, presenting it in front of him, letting August climb out of the bag and up his arm.

From there, August walked up and perched on his favourite spot: Arvell's shoulder.

"I suppose the two of you haven't met yet, so I'll do a quick introduction. Lydia, this is August, August. This is Lydia."

Lydia waved to August energetically.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

"Hello there, August!"

"Kyuu!"

August looked at his paw and tried to emulate Lydia's actions.

"Oh my god, he's waving to me!"

Arvell didn't know whether to laugh or cringe at the sight before him.

A mighty dragon was being treated like a pet dog.

If Kujak had lived long enough to see this, he would have spit blood.

'Maybe it's not completely bad? At least this shows he's capable of learning properly... Meaning that there was brain damage during that period, and he didn't have the warmth of his mother.'

"Um, Arvell?" Lydia started.

"Hmm?" Arvell raised an eyebrow when he heard his name being called.

"Do you mind if I pet him?"

Arvell looked between August and Lydia with a conflicted expression.

'I swear, every girl who lays their eyes on August wants to pet him. Every single one.'

A teasing glint passed through Lykos's eyes.

'Jealous that they don't want to do the same to you?'

Arvell's face scrunched up in disgust after hearing his mentor's words.

'I'm already getting sick and tired of being treated like some kind of eye candy for these delusional females. The last thing I want is for them to get physical with me.'

'Right... That's what they all say... Mr. Forever Alone.'

'Your jokes are as outdated as yourself, so change your vocabulary every once in a while.'

After throwing Lykos one last quip, he redirected his attention to the girl nervously walking up to him.

Lydia slowly approached August as she brought her fingers close to his skin.

Sensing her hesitation, August bent his head so that Lydia's fingers could reach his fur.

"Ahh!"

Lydia yelled in surprise as she felt her fingers touch August's warm black fur.

"It... feels so nice and soft...."

"Kyuu~"

After slowly gaining the confidence to touch him, Lydia ran her hand down his back and even rubbed August's stomach, actions which the latter seemed to not dislike in the slightest.

Getting her to fill of rubbing the black fox's soft fur, Lydia backed off with a content expression.

"Arvell, do you mind if I carry him for a bit?" Reyna asked with an expectant expression.

'I saw this coming....'

Arvell turned to August, who nodded with a resounding "Kyuu!"

"Alright, he's fine with it, here."

"Thanks!"

Cradling August in her arms, Reyna grinned from ear to ear.

Arvell turned his head to see an influx of students heading toward the billboards which showed their classes.

Sitting near the back, they were among some of the first students to be able to leave the auditorium.

"Okay, let's check our classes before it gets too crowded."

Whatever advantage they gained from sitting next to the entrance doors would be lost if they waited too long.

The others nodded their head in agreement.

"Yeah, I don't want to wait for too long."
