I regressed and became the Sword Ice King

At the end of the meeting, the Class Prefects walked out of the building in groups. They had mutual conversations about their lives and topics of similar interest with each other as they did so, a testament to the friendship that existed between them.

Well, while most left, some still lingered behind. Some of these students were Raph, Mart, Thalia, and Alicia.

Alicia only remained behind because Raph had not yet left, but with the silence that began to settle in the room, she began to feel out of place.

It was around this time, when the clock ticked noon that the Magic Lamps of the Lecture Theatres turned on when there was a student or were students still inside.

So at the moment, the four figures remained in their positions, until Raph turned towards Alicia.

"you can go with the rest; I still have something to talk about with my sister", he said.

She glanced at the other two students and then at him, before nodding, standing and walking towards the door.

While she did so, Raph stared at her for a moment, his thoughts lined up in order.

'Alicia…..I didn't notice it all this time, but she's suspicious'.

He looked away with a sigh. 'but then again, there are a lot of unknown situations going on in the Academy'.

Thalia glanced at the two males, before casting a silent spell. "I've put up a Noise cancellation dome," She said, staring at Raph. "Well then, I'm sure we stayed behind for a similar purpose….we need to bait this System Cult that has been going on within the Academy premises….I believe we stayed behind because we have an idea of how to handle the situation".

Mart nodded. "Yes, I do".

With a smirk, Thalia placed her hand on the desk in front of Raph as she said. "Well then, spill".

Time continued as the sun's rays diminished from the clouds, and instead, an ethereal white hue began to take its place.

The moon's luminance was a testament to its old beauty, while it lay its shadows upon the earth.

A figure walked out of the Class Five Lecture Theatre, stretching her body in the moon's afterglow.

Her silver hair glistened with the luminance of the moon.

She took a deep breath as she walked towards the pavement that led to the hostels, her thoughts lining in order.

'....that was a lot to swallow'.

Alicia Berry since the Entrance examination, had one goal for entering the Academy, and that was info gathering.

She had brought it upon herself to hoard the information she could grasp for herself so she could stay up to date on recent matters.

After all, the Berry Household were known for their control over the financial business of the kingdom, including merchants and foreign businesses.

They had it all, and being a child with many siblings, the competition for power was a norm.

One way of attaining this power is through info, and so far, she has grasped it all, well, until today.

There was never a reason why the Student Body Council hid their names. They don't hide their names, it was just normal for freshers to ignore the minor details.

It had become a norm that she had failed to investigate herself, though that would have brought unwanted attention to her antics.

'....as If it hasn't already'. She thought when she heard some footsteps behind her.

Stopping in her tracks, she turned behind to see the faces of familiar figures.

"Javier. What exactly are you doing?" She asked with a stern tone in her voice, in contrast with how bubbly she sounded when Ever she was with Raph.

Javier and his two male friends walked into the light, provided by Magic Lamps that floated above the roofing of the pavement.

"Oh, you're getting sharper, berry".

"How rude, may I remind you of who you are speaking with?" She asked, gripping her hands tightly as she furrowed her brow.

"Woooo! Easy girl, we're only here for the usual". Gregory said while he motioned with his hands.

Alicia stared him over, her blue eyes glinting red in rage. She could just easily blow them up with a spell, after all, she was stronger than them, but she didn't.

And she knew why.

Her gaze flickered to Javier, and it caused her to bite her lip hard when she saw the grin on his face.

"What? You don't want to talk? Sure, why not? It'll be easy to get you expelled from the academy" Javier said with a smirk while she slowly eased her anger.

'Fuck! He's the bastard that set me up!' She thought, but she slowly gave in to her fate. "You…you want to know what we talked about?"

"Um, yes, but not just that, obviously," Yon said, with a sarcastic tone. "What did you find out about Raph, have you seen any weakness? Has he messed up in any way?"

Alicia shook her head. "He's usually busy with either Club activities or Class Prefect duties. He doesn't have the time to break school rules or mess up". She said with a sigh. 'Maybe I should be grateful for that. Raph seems like a near-perfect being….someone I could never get with all the money in the world'.

Javier sighed. "He'll give in eventually. He's a boy like every other, and someone as rash as him will mess up in one way or the other". He said. "but, you better be there when he does, and make sure you record everything up till that point".

"Rash? Raph is anything but that" Alicia said with a raised brow. Javier, surprised by her words, stared at her with curiosity. He glanced over at his friends and then at her before walking forward towards her.

"You better not be getting sick with me, Alicia. Raph is an enemy of the System Users and the Vassal Alliance. Don't you forget that". He said with a mocking tone as he used his finger to hold up her chin, forcing her to stare into his cold black eyes.

"Don't you know what you have done? Do I need to remind you who helped the King in forging those accusations? What don't you understand?"

She bit her lips, cursing under her breath at the helplessness she felt, but then again, she needed to make it as real as possible. "it was a mere compliment, don't get so upset over one little thing, or what? Are you jealous, Javier?" She said with venom in her voice.

'So What? Raph is by far smart enough to know the Berry Household is involved as well, that isn't something to be scared of'.

She needed them, for now, to accomplish her grand task, but yet she despised it. The feeling that comes when someone acts superior to her when they are nothing. The feeling of being inferior to another, when that another is simply another.

It had haunted her for years while she lived in her Mansion, entrapped from the world in a place where she had to surpass the last. But there were far too many last, and each time she surpassed one, a greater one came into play.

It haunted her, encircling her, breaking her mind, in ways that were hard to understand. She began to grow smarter and more cunning and with time, she became the last.

A family where the best child takes all became a haven for her because she would take no small step in achieving what she wanted.

And yet, a boy whose words calmed her broken mind and the heart she had locked away into a light that was too bright. Something that was too fascinating to let go, no, she did not bother trying to let it go.

The suffocating sensation began to turn sweet, and her breathing became haggard as she resumed walking to the hostel. At that moment, as her expression warped, and her hormones swept into overdrive, she made up her mind, once and for all.

"Raffaelo Jun is Mine".

Why wouldn't he Be? After all, if his words were enough to calm her broken mind, then what would his actions do? Oh, she wanted to find out. She wanted to find out badly up till the point where liquid of hormones leaked down her legs and her body was heated to the point of bursting.

It was too difficult to say no to that. "I will get all of him".
