Today is the day when the clubs begin their activities. Isabella and I were summoned by the club's president to attend the first meeting. As expected of a club with a bad reputation, there were barely enough members that allow this gathering to be considered a club.There were a total of 7, including the members of the third year. The president was a man with scars all over his face. His long and messy hair was giving off the air of a wild animal, he also had a penetrating stare, his red eyes were like sharp knives that seemed to dissect you the longer he looked at you. If anything, I'd say he was what a true hunter must look like.We were inside a classroom located on the fire grounds. The walls were covered in maps and weapons, there were also piles of books and documents with information about plants and monsters living in the forest, caves, and sea. The skull of a large bear was decorating the door by which we entered the classroom. The yells from the chivalry club could be heard
We were riding through the city on our beasts. Isabella and I were on Twilight while Jason was riding a monstrous wolf. When I asked him why he chose a wolf instead of a drake he told me that even when drakes were commonly stronger beasts, wolves are more practical beasts for hunting since you can train them better. He also said that his grey companion was more loyal than any other human he had met. With this, my image of him being a man obsessed with hunting just got reinforced once more.The trip was quiet for most of the ride, I was having some inner issues with Isabella being attached to my back like some kind of baby monkey; probably a consequence of my recent self-awareness in our relationship. Part of me knew that I should put some more distance between us, but I couldn't get my voice to work when I saw her face.This was the first time she had joined me to ride Twilight, so her shifting expression of fear and excitement kept me on edge from acting.This is painful..."Oi, love
Isabella and Jason walked at my side while we followed the receptionist to the second floor of the building. After reaching the end of a hallway a pair of gates with the shield of guild stood before us. The sword to defend against the wild, the book and pen to register your discoveries to the world, and the star to guide you in your path through darkness. Even if adventurers were considered failed knights, there was still honor in their roots.The receptionist opened the gates and offered us to step in. When we did, a man in casual clothing was putting his seal on the documents resting on the desks in front of him. He had long black hair that rested on his left shoulder. The precision and swiftness of his hands were clear proof of his mastery of the sword. He was not a hulking mass of muscle, but rather, a refined piece of war that had the exact amount of flesh to do the job. "Dominique Foe Yatra. Also known as 'Black Panther' for the nobles and those willing to bring pain to the irr
Beep. Beep. Beep. "Where are his parents?" "They said they´d be here until tomorrow..." "Jesus, I can´t believe people like that exist" "I know right? To think they would be so indifferent of their own child... And at a time like this... It´s horrible" "... Look if the database has the number of other relatives, call anyone who can come" "Yes, doctor" The nurse rushed out of the room. The doctor looked at me with sad eyes. His hand placed a book beside me. "I´m sorry kid... This is all I can do for you..." He also left after that. ... Yhea well... I expected that much of them... I wanted to say that out loud but I didn´t have the strength to move my mouth. So this is it, huh...... The end of the road...... The final stop...... With the little force I had, I opened my eyes. White. That was all I could see. It´s been 2 years since I´ve seen this color
"More tea, my lady?"With my right hand holding a kettle, and my left a cup, I offered its content to the stunning beauty sitting before a fine-crafted wooden desk."Thank you Domi, I was getting sleepy" She answered me with a sweet smile influenced by the fatigue.I proceeded to serve the tea from a safe distance, I didn´t want to stain the documents on the desk, much less burn her tender skin.With the cup at the reach of her hand and a refined move, she took the edge to her shiny lips. I felt how my heart bumped blood quicker with the resultant silence."Fuuu~. Delicious as always. Thanks, Domi"I didn´t let her notice, but I was invaded by the greatest of happiness.To maintain the serenity on my face I continued making small talks as the tea was running out."You passed magnifically your last general knowledge test, I´m sure the masters will be pleased"The papers on the desk were mathematic proble
"nique-"A warm sensation embraced my body. A heard a voice in the distance.Ahh... So this is death huh....... I thought it would be worse... But this is actually quite nice..."minique, wake up!"The voice was getting closer, I also heard steps approaching.Death... Is that you? Are you coming for my soul?... Well, I guess it was nice while it lasted... Time to be part of the eternal nothingness of space... Man... Who would think that death would sound like a little girl... The universe sure is weird...I was ready for anything, so my limbs spread and my face smiled.Come on! Take me! I am ready!"Dominique! I told you to wake up!"Poof!"Geha?!"I said that, but I never expected to be punched in the stomach."Cough! Cough! Holly shit! Can´t you be a little more gentle?!""Huh? Why are you talking to me like that? Did you become an idiot after dreaming?""Huh?! Who are you calli
"Guess this is the place"My internal Gps stopped tickling, so I assumed this door was the right one.Here goes nothing...I opened the door.Tick!"Fifteen minutes late. A new record of failure"The first thing to greet me was an old male wearing a white butler suit.His aged but healthy face had a monocle and a well-brushed mustache.He was holding a pocket clock that just stopped moving.People hurriedly walking and cooking everywhere was behind him.So this is the kitchen. Man, it´s huge.Like the rest of the structure, the place could easily have 20 people working with enough space to not bother their co-workers."What do you have to say for yourself? Dominique"My concentration landed on the butler once again, I just said the first thing that came to my mind."...... I, uhh... I´m very sorry, sir... It was my mistake... It won´t happen again"The man
After my embarrassing meeting ended, I walked out of the room blushing and dying of embarrassment.Verónica had regained enough energy to end what she was doing, so my presence would only be an unnecessary distraction. Besides, I had completed my objective, therefore, I had no more reasons to stay in that room."Fuck... I can´t believe I did that... Stupid Dominique. Why did the autor never mention how sensible you were?”My words were devoured by the darkness of the long halls of the mansion. The sound of my steps and the wells of the cart was what lasted longer.It´s been a year since I reincarnated as Dominique.I´ve been training my skills and preparing myself for the beginning of the original story.Today, in this night, the context of Verónica´s personality and reasons to be the villainess will begin.So today is where everything changes."I won´t let you become the villai
