I was sitting on my bed while caressing Aria's head who was lying on my lap. It wasn't anything unusual, whenever i wanted to talk with Aria alone, i would lay her on my lap.
Every student's rooms have extra room for their servant, which is why Aria staying in my room.
"Aria, in your opinion what should i do, while in the academy?" i asked Aria with a calm tone.
I didn't have anything to do other than befriend Hywel, so i asked Aria because Aria became my something like an advisor for the last months.
"What does master wants?" Aria asked back monotonously. Strangely Aria liked to find strange/ridiculous ideas for me, so i left the job for finding ideas for her.
"Having some fun wouldn't be bad but it is simply impossible for me. Thus what i want is a less boring life than right now." I said.
"Master liked to do experiments, maybe master can do a secret base for experiment?" Aria suggested.
"I will already do that, but it just distracts me from boredom not lessen it." I said.
"Embarrassing people? Master said that master felt amusement by the embarrassment of girls, maybe normal people would help too, instead of just girls." Aria suggested monotonously.
Even though she becomes jealous when i tease other women, she suggests me tease more people. What a dedicated maid.
"I can do that anytime, give me ridiculous ideas, not normal one." I said.
"Torture? Master didn't torment someone for the sake of torment, just for experiments." Aria suggested.
"No, i can't do that." I declined.
I shouldn't torture someone if i will lift my curse, but i started to have second thoughts about lifting my curse completely. What if i lift my curse partially so that i would feel most of the emotions except feeling any guilt or disgust?
"Deceiving and scamming good people? Some people like to do that, maybe master too will like it." Aria suggested.
"Well, i can try it." I agreed.
"I heard that some thieves steal because they like the thrill of danger." Aria suggested once more.
"Being a thief is risky but i can try this too."
"Acting like a messiah or God's chosen? It would be ridiculous for master to look like a benevolent person, so maybe it would work." Aria gave me the most ridiculous idea, but i found some potential in this.
[Goddes of Ice and Moons Ilelia] is a Goddes that holds the authority of Ice, while I had Superior grade Ice and Grand grade Revelation affinity. Revelation affinity can be used for communication with Gods and Devils, so if i act like chosen of Goddes Ilelia, it would probably work.
"Why? As far as i know, i am a benevolent person that cleared the trash from slums. So why i am not a benevolent person, my dear~ Aria?" I said and brought my face to hers.
"No, the master isn't benevolent." Aria blushed slightly and pushed me back to my original position.
"Well then, what if i do all of them except torture?" I asked.
"If master wants it, i will help with my best of abilities." Aria said.
"We can do these things slowly. We have about 4 to 7 years." I said calmly.
"Anyway get up, it is time to sleep. I am sleepy." I gestured to Aria.
Aria got up and turned toward her room.

Sleeping with Aria was a comfortable experience, hence i continued to do it. Nothing indecent, just sleeping.
Aria came to my side and we slept like usual.

"Brother, do you know what will we have to do in classes?" Lucy asked me.
"I don't know too but all we have to do is follow the professors' or mages' instructions." I said.
"Walk faster or else we will be late for the entrance ceremony. I heard they give punishment to the students that came late." I said and walked a little bit faster.
I came to this academy 4 days ago and today is the academy's entrance ceremony. I strolled around the academy, chatted with mobs, listened to rumors, and compared the information that i got with the to make comparison. Everything was same, no more additional transmigrator or reincarnator.
Anyway, me and Lucy walked and came to the place the entrance ceremony was to be hold. I scanned every student to find a promising student.
I found a student sitting alone in the corner, Flora Sunwillow. There weren't any students around her, so i went to her side slowly. She looked at me with a creepy grin but i still sat down to her side.
>> She looks dangerous brother. Is it okay to sit by her side? We won't die by a curse, right? << Lucy said with a trembling voice.
(Telepathic conversation will be >> shown like this << in future chapters.)
>> Don't be scared because of some aura and even if someone tries to attack you, i will protect you. So come and sit by my side. << I said calmly.
Lucy relaxed a little bit and sat by my side.
"Brother which classes will you choose?" Lucy asked.
"Why are you asking?" I asked back flatly.
"Because i will choose the same as brother." Lucy answered.
"Choose your classes for yourself not because you want to be same classes as me Lucy." I started my act of 'the brother that worried for his irresponsible sister'.
"Brother don't start your nagging, just tell me." Lucy said and pouted.
"Whatever you say. I will take; Basic Meditation, Rune Deciphering, Chants and Chanting, Chantless magic, Artifact making, Alchemy, Magical technology, Fundamentals of Mana and Magic, Magical research and Practical use of Magic." I looked towards Lucy and grinned.
"Brother isn't this too much?" Lucy's mouth became an 'O' shape from shock and said.
"Nope, these classes will surely help me." I said.
"Hush Headmaster came." i said with a whisper and pointed to the headmaster who was started his 90 minutes long speech.
******
"Finally, i thought i was gonna die from boredom, brother." Lucy said and stretched her limbs.
"It was much more boring than i expected. Anyway, let's stroll around for a while."
There weren't any classes today just an entrance ceremony, so i thought that it is a good idea to stroll around and be friends with someone with high potential.
We got out but i bumped someone. I stood straight but the someone that i bumped fell down to his butt.
I brought my hand to help him, he took my hand and got up.
He was about 185cm in height and around 18 of age. He was a handsome man with gray hair and gray eyes.
"I apologize, i didn't think that someone was waiting in front of the door." I apologized coldly.
"I apologize, it was my fault waiting in front of the door." He said and brought his hand for a handshake.
"I am Kayle Ceurie, first year." I said and shook his hand.
His eyes focused on something, and i felt a tingling sensation somewhere in my head, probably my aura core.
"It is inappropriate to look at someone's soul without permission you know? If someone other than you looked i would kill them but i wouldn't kill my childhood friend right?" I said coldly but there was some warmth in my voice.
He was shocked because i knew his power and started to speak quickly but i cut him off.
"How d-"
"You don't need to know. Can you introduce yourself to my sister, she is dying from curiosity." I said and turned towards Lucy who was curiously looking at us.
Lucy's highest affinity is Information affinity and this makes her more curious about her interests. Lucy's interest in me probably the highest and this makes her curious about my everything.
Hywel was shocked but he quickly introduced himself.
"I am Hywel Ashtorn, 3rd year. I was friends with Kayle when we were orphans."
"Can you tell me my brother's childhood?" Lucy asked with sparkling eyes.
"Sure i will tell you someday." Hywel skillfully evaded from Lucy's questioning.
"Brother said that you looked at his soul, is it true?" Lucy asked one more time.
"Hush! be quiet. No one knows apart from my father." Hywel looked around and whispered.
"How did you know this?" Hywel looked at me and said with a serious tone.
"I didn't know fully, but when you focused on something, i sensed someone pried my soul." I said coldly and shrugged my shoulder.
"It is your fault to look at my soul, if not i wouldn't know." I said.
"So it is my fault huh? Well, it can't be helped." Hywel said and sighed.
Sigh...
"Did you like my soul? Once i tried to see the soul but i couldn't do it. So i am curious about it." I asked because i am thinking of analyzing his eyes.
"It is completely normal for you to fail to see a soul. Souls are intangible lumps of energy. As for your soul, it is a unique one among souls that i saw." Hywel said knowingly.
"Anyway, Kayle i need to go, my friend is waiting for me. Let's talk again sometime." Hywel said.
"Sure. Let's do that." I said.
Hywel walked away in hurry and i activated my status lenses.

His mana quality and quantity are good but he didn't train his body hard enough. Well in the he started to train his body when his adopted father died.
Status lenses didn't translate 'Luck' affinity and there's the mystery of authority that didn't explain in the . Well, he can't use authority with his fragile body, so there is nothing to worry about.
"Anyway let's go stroll around Lucy." i said and walked away with Lucy.
