Silence hung in the air until Professor Luke's gaze landed on Eve. "Eve, care to share your thoughts?" To everyone's surprise, Eve responded with an air of calm confidence, flawlessly explaining the concept in detail. Her classmates exchanged astonished looks, amazed at her sudden transformation from a reserved student to a knowledgeable participant.
EVE'S POV
Their surprise was palpable, but I remained unaffected. "The principle is simple," I replied coldly. "Elemental manipulation spells harness the inherent energies of natural elements to manifest desired effects. It's basic knowledge for anyone serious about mastering magic."
**THIRD PERSON POV**
Professor Luke nodded, impressed by Eve's succinct explanation. Throughout the class, he observed Eve's cold demeanor and sharp intellect, noticing how she effortlessly commanded the attention of her peers.
EVE'S POV
After Professor Luke's lecture on magical theory, I left the classroom with an air of indifference, ignoring the whispers and lingering gazes that followed me. The murmurs of my classmates were like distant echoes, insignificant in my world of cold detachment and dangerous presence.
'Who is she, anyway?'
'She gives off such a scary vibe.'
'She seems weak, but she's terrifying.'
'She's Princess Ezra, right?'
'Yes, the weak, nerdy b!tch Ezra.'
Ignoring their chatter, I found a quiet spot and started eating. Suddenly, a group of girls approached-Ezra's other bullies. One of them grabbed my tray and threw the food at me, trying to provoke me.
I stood up calmly, wiping the food off my clothes.
"What do you want?" I asked, my voice trembling with anger.
The girls laughed at my response.
"So ngayon sumasagot ka na? How amusing," one of them mocked, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
They chuckled among themselves, thinking they were funny.
"Well, well, well, you're still the weak Ezra," another girl said, smirking.
"Maybe she's not weak after all."
Their words were useless, but I remained composed. Before they could say more, the leader slapped me across the face, causing my glasses to fly off and making me bow my head from the impact.
"O M G!! Umiiyak ka ba? HAHAHA," another girl asked.
"Mahina ka parin talaga! HAHAHA."
"Crying? What's that? HAHAHA," I replied, letting out a cold, dangerous laugh.
Slowly, I lifted my head, my eyes now a piercing crimson red.
I walked toward the girl who slapped me; they stepped back as I grabbed her by the neck. In an instant, she was on top of the broken table, enduring the pain from being thrown.
"Anyone who dares to disturb me will regret it," I said coldly, my voice sending chills down their spines.
With that, I walked away, leaving them shocked and silent.
THIRD PERSON POV
One of the girls, fueled by anger, grabbed a dagger and threw it at Eve. With incredible speed, Eve caught it between two fingers and threw it back, hitting the girl in the forehead. She stumbled back, bleeding and in pain, as chaos erupted in the cafeteria.
As Eve left, her reputation as someone not to be messed with was firmly established in the minds of those who witnessed her display of power.
SOMEONE'S POV
While observing you from above, I see a strength within you that assures me you can handle every challenge life throws your way. Your resilience and determination are truly remarkable. But remember this: when it gets too overwhelming, or if you ever need help, call out my name, and I will awaken from my slumber and return to you at the right moment.
At my return, you too will return to your old world. But know this: when you return to this Enchanted World, I will be here, and together we will face every trial and tribulation that comes our way. You are not alone, and you never will be. Our bond is unbreakable, and our destiny is intertwined. My sister, Eve.
After the chaotic scene in the cafeteria, I made my way to the garden, seeking peace. The whispers of leaves and the chirping of birds provided a stark contrast to the hostile environment I had just left behind.
As I sat on a bench, I couldn't help but replay the events in my mind. The look of fear in their eyes and the disbelief in their voices were familiar feelings I often experienced in my world. Power had a way of making people respect you, even if that respect was rooted in fear. I had learned that it was a powerful tool.
But this strength wasn't just about intimidation. It was a shield, a way to protect this body from those who sought to harm it in the past. She had endured enough suffering in her past life; now, it was my turn to protect this body because this time, this body is mine.
**THIRD PERSON POV**
While Eve sat in contemplation, the news of the cafeteria incident spread like wildfire throughout the academy. Students whispered in hushed tones, their curiosity piqued by the dramatic turn of events.
"What happened in the cafeteria earlier?"
"I heard that Princess Eve was attacked by Bianca's group."
"Bianca? She never backs down. What happened?"
"She threw a dagger at Eve, but Eve caught it like it was nothing and threw it back. Bianca got hit right in the forehead."
"Wow, Eve is so intimidating. She used to be weak, but now..."
"Princess Eve is not to be messed with. I wouldn't want to be on her bad side."
The atmosphere at the academy had shifted. Eve was no longer seen as the weak, timid girl. She was a force to be reckoned with, and her peers began to regard her with a mix of fear and respect.
**EVE'S POV**
As the day wore on, I decided it was time to head back to my dorm. Walking through the corridors, I noticed how students parted to let me pass, their eyes filled with a mix of awe and fear. It was a stark contrast to the way they had treated this body before.
In my dorm, I sat by the window, watching the sun dip below the horizon. The fading light cast long shadows, and I felt a sense of calm wash over me. A few minutes later, I fell asleep.
**HEADMASTER THADDEUS'S POV**
As the headmaster of the Enchanted Academy, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of all students. When the news of the incident in the cafeteria reached me, I knew immediate action was necessary.
Bianca and the girl who had slapped Eve were swiftly taken to the academy's infirmary. Our healers worked quickly to treat their injuries, though the magical nature of the wounds made it clear that this was no ordinary altercation.
I sat in my office, the weight of the situation pressing down on me. The academy had always been a place of learning and growth, but incidents like this threatened to disrupt the delicate balance we maintained. I instructed my secretary to call the parents of the injured students to inform them of the situation and the condition of their children.
"Headmaster," my secretary's voice broke through my thoughts. "I've already notified the parents of the children. They will be arriving tomorrow morning."
"Thank you," I replied, rubbing my temples. "Please arrange for Princess Eve to come to my office tomorrow as well. It is imperative that we address this situation and understand what led to such a violent confrontation."
The secretary nodded and left the room, leaving me to ponder the events of the day. Princess Eve's transformation was startling, to say the least. She had gone from being a quiet, unassuming student to someone who commanded fear and respect. She had truly changed.
My name is Aeron Skyler Aero, the only prince of the Aerilon Kingdom, and I'm 19 years old. I'm the most handsome among the royalties. My power is Air, of course, as I'm from the Aerilon Kingdom. My abilities include teleportation and mind reading.
We had just completed our mission to assist the residents of the Iceous Kingdom in Snow Village because they were under attack by the Darkens. Snow Village is a charming place known for its warm and cozy atmosphere, and it is famous for its magical armors, which is probably why they were targeted.
Since it was late, we decided to return to the academy, as we had supplies in our dorm. We would reach there by morning anyway.
"Can we visit our sister before we go to the academy?" I was surprised when Prince Damien spoke up since he rarely said anything.
"And why?" Prince Damon replied coldly to his brother.
They were really intimidating, especially Leader Blaze.
"Maybe he's awake now. I just want to check on how she's doing," Prince Damien replied seriously.
"When did you start caring about her? Haha." Prince Draven teased.
"I've cared about her for a long time; you just keep threatening me not to talk to her," Prince Damien said, trying not to raise his voice.
We princes and princesses were just listening, not wanting to intervene because it was scary to see them argue.
"Lower your voice when talking to me; I'm still older than you," Prince Draven said.
"Older than you? My ass." Prince Damien replied.
"Let's just ask Blaze if he wants to stop by the palace," Princess Sofie suggested with a calm voice.
Fortunately, the princess spoke up; otherwise, who knows where their argument would lead.
We all looked at Leader.
"What do you think? Should we go there?" Leader asked Princess Sofie.
These two were so corny.
"I want to visit the princess, so let's go," she said with a smile to Leader.
"Okay, then let's go," Leader said.
Prince Damien only snorted and closed his eyes.
We finally arrived at the Vampireous Kingdom, ruled by King Leonnel and Queen Cynthia. The castle was majestic, with towering spires that seemed to pierce the night sky. As we dismounted from our horses, King Leonnel and Queen Cynthia welcomed us warmly and invited us to dine with them.
"Welcome, royalties," King Leonnel greeted us with a nod. "Please, join us for a meal."
When we arrived at the dining table, the conversation was lively but respectful. The food was good. During the meal, Queen Cynthia looked at us and asked, "What brings you royalties to the Vampireous Kingdom?"
Princess Sofie replied, "We wanted to check on Princess Ezra."
Queen Cynthia smiled gently. "She's awake now and feeling much better," she said.
"Where is she?" Prince Damien asked, his tone eager yet concerned.
Queen Cynthia's expression turned somber. "She's at the academy, but..." she paused, creating a tense atmosphere.
"Why? What happened?" Princess Sierra voiced what we were all thinking.
"She has lost her memories."
Queen Cynthia sighed deeply. "Eve has lost her memory, and I ask you all to look after her at the academy," she explained.
"Sino po si Eve, Mahal na Reyna?" I asked.
"Ang anak ko, Mahal na Prinsepe, Ezra Eve Vladimir," replied the queen.
So she's my second name, I thought to myself.
Princess Lucia, never one to hold back her thoughts, scoffed. "Maybe she's just pretending to get attention, especially from Prince Blaze."
The room fell silent as Queen Cynthia slammed her hand on the table.
