Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 225

When Aaron returned to his dorm, it was already late at night.

Two students arrived early in the morning, two arrived before noon, but the last one arrived an hour ago. There is no way he can blame them for their timing.

Each one had to come from a different place, and everyone would choose a time that would be better for them. As they would not be returning home for four years after arriving at the academy, everyone would want to spend as much time as they could with their families.

Also, many have to come from faraway places. The trains won’t run according to the student’s schedule. They run according to their own schedules.

Also, the academy would not tell the students about this feature beforehand. Only when they arrive at the academy would they know that a senior would be assigned to them to guide them through the academy.

Aaron didn’t feel wrong that he had to guide someone so late in the evening, but what irked him was the first batch of two that he had to guide in the morning.

That boy, Arnold, started throwing his family’s name around. Kwinton, the name felt wierd for Aaron. The Spelling felt wrong, and he also thought that the name was actually the boy’s first name, but the name Arnold made him even more confused.

Having a first name as a surname makes people quite confused.

Anyway, that boy kept disturbing Aaron while he was giving them both a tour. Aaron came to know that there was another Kwinton in the academy, a third year, one year senior to Aaron.

The third year was a cousin of Arnold. While Arnold belonged to the direct family, the senior was from the branch family. Since this third-year student was still in the academy, though deployed away due to insufficient manpower, he was still relevant to teach Arnold about the current student structure and also watch over him when possible.

This added even more ego to the existing ego for Arnold. Since his cousin had already told him all the facilities that were present in the academy beforehand, whenever Aaron started to introduce the facility’s name, he would interject himself and start introducing the facility to Alyssa.

Aaron quickly found it irritating and even warned him multiple times, but the boy ignored him, saying that he was the heir of the Kwinton family.

Though he awakened a low-ranking profession, as the only son of the Kwinton family head, he was so sure that he would become the next head. That was what he had believed even before he awakened his class.

It didn’t change even after he awakened a B-rank profession. Instead of thinking he may lose, his father taught him to charm a girl who has a higher rank, like an A or better S-rank profession. If he could do that, his position of him being the next head would be stable.

Aaron didn’t know why he was doing what he was doing, but that doesn’t mean he liked the annoying brat.

So, he changed the routine and took them to the dorms. He first took Arnold to the boys’ rooms and left him there, settled in his room.

After that, instead of taking Alyssa to the girls’ dorms, he took her to other places in the academy, which he was supposed to show as their guide.

Alyssa quickly understood what Aaron did, but she didn’t point that out. Arnold was being annoying, and getting rid of him, though temporarily, was a great relief for her. So, she didn’t complain.

After showing her the facilities, he took her to the girls’ dorm and left afterwards.

Except for that little hiccup, the day went well. The other three didn’t cause any problems for Aaron, and he was able to complete guiding all five.

After being done guiding the fifth student, Aaron quickly ate his food and went to sleep.

First year Dorms...

When Aaron’s batch became second year, they didn’t change their dorms. They were just renamed as Second-year dorms now.

The first-year students who arrived recently were placed in the dorms that the final-year students vacated.

"So, what do you think about the senior brother? He looks handsome", one of the girls spoke to the other one with whom they shared a guide.

"No one is more handsome than the senior brother who guided us. He was not just handsome but also kind and patient", another girl spoke.

They kept discussing about the second-year students who acted as their guides. Some are mesmerised by some handsome seniors.

It was not just girls who started dreaming about their seniors; a few boys were also dreaming about senior sisters whom they were able to interact with.

Though this was what was happening, not everyone appeared happy.

"That bastard cut me off, and no one would dare to do that to the Kwinton Heir", Arnold cursed the senior student who acted as his guide in the morning.

At first he didn’t think, but after he was left alone, he remembered that there were other facilities that his cousin had mentioned, but they have yet to see them. Yet, he was left here at the dorms, which means the senior has done that on purpose.

It made him angry at the senior, but there was nothing he could do at the moment, except to wait for his cousin, who is now a third year and can take revenge for him.

He was trying to impress the girl and make her follow him as soon as possible before someone else would do so. Making the girl fall for him was quite important for him, but that was ruined by the senior, or at least that’s what he believed in his mind.

He didn’t think that even before the senior entered the scene, he was already annoying the girl and she was so close to punching the shit out of him.

People see what they want to see, especially idiots like him. They would see faults in others, but never in themselves.

He has no idea what Aaron is capable of doing. He was only suppressing his power, not because he was afraid of someone powerful attacking him. No, he was afraid for his family.

He can escape attacks from powerful professionals, but he has no way to guarantee the safety of the people he cares for. Until there was a way to protect them from most dangers present, he didn’t want to show his true prowess, but that doesn’t mean if shove comes to push, he wouldn’t back down, which Arnold might learn if he goes against Aaron.
