Atlas Academy, Part 1

"Brother, are you awake?" Jin scratched my face as I was just getting myself out of bed with a half asleep eyes.

"Jin! It Hurts!" I slowly raised Jin from clawing my face even after getting up and placed him at the lower bed.

"How do you like your big brother's awesome muscles?" I flexed my body in different poses towards Jin as he was starring at me.

"Kyu?" Tilting his head, Jin was confused why was I showing him my upper body.

I let out a sigh, "Let's go wash up, Jin!" I pretended to be excited as I grabbed my companion and headed over to the shower.

'Yay!! Water! Water!!' "Kyuuuu!" The excited wails of Jin merely escaped out the other ear as I hauled him inside. Jin now had fur, or very thin, long and soft scales that were very similar to fur. This meant that he attracted dirt like a magnet, so washing him more often had become a necessity, and for Jin seems to enjoy his bath.

We both rushed towards the bathroom outside seeing my lovely mother speaking and helping out Evana with her makeup. Even I froze for a second and starred at Eve's charming appearance in the new uniform.

"Ethan! You're practically Half naked!" as my mother warned me, I shook of from and went inside the Bathroom.

Speaking of uniform's the Academy's Delivery mana beast that looks like some kind of bird, delivered it to our house itself. So, like Evana, I got mine too.

EVANA VALEN'S P.O.V:

A sudden knock on Ethan's room door jolted as it opened me upright, as aunt Lyra was helping me with makeup and tidying my looks.

I guess its not still good enough to make Ethan look towards me, as he has such good looks....even for a eleven years old.

Suddenly as I was thinking,

"Heyy! We are going to bath!!!! Ohoooo!" Ethan was running as he held Jin in front, while he was only wearing his trousers on.

As soon as me and Aunt Lyra surprisingly turning back, Ethan had already stoped his cray running, and was starring at us for some reason.

Does it mean...I..I....Do I look weird or something? or he is just starring at me because I look pretty as Aunt Lyra said.

I could ask him straight, but....even though I'm thinking of this, I can't take my eyes of him either.

Dummy…

Those eyes that looked calm and poised, yet still a little childish… Was it his gaze?

The way it glowed... Was it his smile?

What made me this stupidly attracted to him? He's just another boy! Another, rather talented, rather well-mannered and slightly better-looking, boy. That was it?

What was it about him that made me become so foolish around him and why did I keep doing things to embarrass myself in front of him?

Learning and training alongside him made me strong as well as the part when I started to realize my feelings towards him.

"Ethan! You're practically Half naked!" as Aunt Lyra warned him, he chuckled and smiled at me, as he went inside the bathroom.

I unconsciously let out a defeated sigh.

"Is something wrong?" as Aunt Lyra looked at me with concern, "N-No! Nothing's wrong, haha!" I snapped out and started talking with her, thinking of Ethan.

However, even if Ethan is good-looking, his skills and strength as a warrior and an assassin is still top notch. I could barely keep up with him...at least at the level I'm in.

I will catch up to him and I will say to him.

Say to him about myself and my feelings towards him.

ETHAN ASHER'S P.O.V:

After taking a bath, with towel all around me and covering Jin with my hands, I walked to my room as quickly as possible. Well, I do have a handsome figure, but it was still embarrassing in front of Evana, who is as beautiful as a goddess. So, yeah....I got nervous on her seeing me, even though we both were flustered bright red.

After going into the room, Jin jumped to the bed and shook his shiny wet silvery body and "I really love Bathing! Kyuu!" Jin said to himself with a happy Kyu.

I let out a smile as I started buttoning my shirt. Thinking how this adorable dragon had developed from his small serpent form.

The uniforms that Atlas Academy had sent us weren't too out of the ordinary. For me, it consisted of a white dress shirt, a dark blue vest, a maroon string we tied around our necks underneath the collar, and a pair of tailored brown dress pants. With my white dress shirt underneath and a badge with a crossed sword and staff etched intricately over the breast pocket in a design with Golden Borders, overall it gave me a very dashing as well as a scholarly look.

Taking a good look at myself in the mirror when Jin also joined me as he jumped and clang to my shoulder with his snowy white fox with golden gleam, I could tell how much we'd matured physically.

My eyes were a clear black color that almost seemed to glow in a blue hint, my hair at the same colour of my eyes. Thanks for the soap I created with the creative soap that I created from the mixing fats and oils along with the laundry detergent, my facial features were a lot softer, poised and elegant, compared to before. Well, at least I've got the good looks and talent for a scholar mage, and that's all I need.
