Seeing that more and more people kept being attracted by the ruckus, Daimon called the girls to go leave this place and go get the food from the restaurant.
"This guy's lackeys will arrive, and I'm too hungry to hear the phrases, "how dare you, our young master" blah blah blah, so if none of you have any inconvenient let's go".
"Hahaha", in a weird turn of events Yvonne couldn't hold back her laugh, she only stopped when she felt a slight pain in her stomach, Aisha also had a bright smiling expression on her face while Aliya had a slight grin, but she coughed a couple of times before drinking from the bottle which Daimon returned to her.
Before leaving Daimon took the earring that Leir was using, and kept it on his storage for "investigation purposes", he happily walked towards the girls as he thought.
"Consider yourself lucky that I found this little thing interesting, thanks to it you still have your balls attached to your body".
Everyone saw Daimon blatantly robbing the guy that was now fainted in the ground and they felt sad for him, but they also agreed that losing a magic treasure was better than becoming a eunuch even if it was just temporarily, like the guy from the rumors.
Aisha of course hugged her son's right arm and the people made way for them to leave, no one looked at any of them directly, as they were afraid, they would be targeted by Daimon.
As they walked towards the restaurant contrary to her joyous amused attitude of before, Yvonne had a complex expression on her face now, she doubted for a moment before she said.
"You probably already guessed it but that guy was the one my father tried to make me marry, the young master of the Ascott family, Gladius, Grayer and Ascott, those three families conform a big force of the humans… unlike Taylor, Leir has a half emperor ancestor, that's why he had that earring and you not only kicked his ass, you even robbed him in front of everyone".
Daimon didn't stop walking he just shrugged as he replied.
"So, what, Alexander Jolbaris is the direct descendant of one, and I still told him to fuck off in front of everyone, I don't care who they are, if they want troubles or if I simply don't like what they do, I will point my sword at their necks, because if I ever show weakness, they will stop being afraid of me".
He turned around and saw Yvonne directly to her eyes.
"And that would be bad considering the trouble attracting friends I recently got".
Yvonne was speechless, messing with the descendant of an Archmage and doing the same with the one of a half emperor were two completely different things, and yet she noticed he wasn't bluffing nor he was putting on a show.
"He isn't reckless, as far as I can see, he always has a reason for what he does, and he has been in contact with half emperors before, so it's not that he doesn't know what becoming enemies with one implies, then why does he act as if there was nothing to worry about… how interesting", she thought.
No matter how much thought she put into it, she reached the same conclusion.
"Sigh, I guess common sense doesn't apply to a monster like you", she said with a feigned defeated voice.
Aisha laughed.
"It's better if you get used to that, Daimon said you all attract troubles but the same applies to him, so if you want to be friends with him… well you better be prepared to never get bored again".
Listening to Aisha's words, Daimon sighed, "Which side are you with", he thought.
Previously the only Aisha was walking next to Daimon, Yvonne and Aliya kept a little distance, but after what happened they all walked next to each other, and it worked like magic, because now everyone clearly saw thy were walking with "the demon of the elite class".
It was the first time Yvonne and Aliya saw the effect Daimon caused in other students, the sight of everyone moving aside to make way for them, was quite something, but it was also understandable considering all what has happened in a few days since he arrived at the academy.
Yvonne shook her head.
"Calvin is going to be mad at you, I don't believe any girl will go out with him once they realize he tags along with you, you know?".
It didn't take too much time for them to reach the restaurant, Aisha and Yvonne ordered the food while Aliya took a seat, since she bumped with Leir, Daimon noticed she has been coughing more than usual.
Daimon frowned his eyebrows.
"Teacher are you okay? the old man is going to get pissed if I return with you in this state".
Aliya shook her head.
"I'm fine, even when I'm like this, my body can resist the exposition to mana or battle aura… tutor Ogien knows I sometimes get these little episodes, where my medicine can't help me, it will finish in a couple of minutes".
Daimon nodded, but he was still a bit curious about something, the bottle looked like normal crystal and yet the strength of a four-star ranked knight didn't make the slightest scratch on it.
"The content of this bottle is basically my life, so of course I made sure immature brats couldn't cause me troubles, this material won't break by anything with less destructive force than a peak stage knight lord", said Aliya as she handed the bottle to Daimon.
Daimon inspected the thing, it had some symbols engraved on it which he recognized as runes, out of them he could distinguish the runes for "expansion", "temperature" and "stabilization".
"That is a bit of an overkill for a simple container, but I guess this medicine might need a certain specific ambient".
Aliya smiled.
"As expected of someone that could perfectly brew a potion of my creation, that's right this medicine is a bit too delicate, so it needs the perfects condition to be stored in a container, that's also why I can't keep it in a storage ring, the spatial fluctuations that are produced whenever you take something out of it, will corrupt the medicine".
Daimon gave the bottle back to her; he still had the truth seeker eyes activated so when he looked at Aliya, he noticed something was trying to invade her magic core.
"That can't be caused by just physical contact with a knight", he thought, it was then he remembered the white-yellow light that was being radiated from the earring.
Black mist covered Daimon's right arm, without saying anything, he placed his hand on Aliya's head.
"Mm… Daimon?", Aliya was a bit confused about his actions, but a second later her eyes widened when she saw a little amount of white light which was now stuck to Daimon's hand.
Daimon closed his hand and crushed the light into nothingness, as it disappeared Aliya recovered some color on her face, before Aliya could say anything, Aisha's voice interrupted her.
"Corrosive light… well humans call it "holy light", something they developed to fight against the demons and the undead, the problem is that also it also affects beast races with inclination to darkness affinity".
Daimon frowned his eyebrows.
"That Leir guy said some nonsense like "the god of light", so I guess this light is something exclusive to those who believe in that "god", right?".
Aliya nodded.
"Yes, light affinity is as rare as darkness affinity, corrosive light is supposed to only be usable for those at the "Lord" realms and above, so it didn't cross my mind that the young master of the Ascott family had managed to use it, my mana sense is ruined so I didn't detect it".
She directly looked at Daimon and continued.
"Thanks… that disgusting light could have worsened my condition if it went unnoticed".
Yvonne snorted.
"That's why I hate the Ascott family, they are fanatics of some shady guy from the ancient age which left some legends about his powers for future generations, the Ascott and other families derived the corrosive light from that and called it holy light".
Daimon was amused by the whole situation, some guy in the past got magic and of course other normal humans started revering him as a god which is understandable, but for the people of the current age it is obvious that what others think gods are… they are just stronger mages or knights.
For example, a half emperor might look like a god for normal mages, and yet it can be killed, and the situation repeats the more you advance in the path of magic.
Now that Aisha and Yvonne had the food they left the restaurant, on the way back to the training grounds, Daimon saw that Leir was still where he left him, there were some spectators left, but for some reason no one has come to take him to the infirmary.
Once they left that area behind Daimon snapped his fingers and the people which were still looking at Leir suddenly saw how a black mist covered his whole body, when the thing dissipated… both his clothes and hair were gone.
By the corner of his eyes Daimon saw the result and he smirked.
"Now you look more like a believer of the "God of light", pray that you never encounter me in a situation where there aren't others looking... because if that happens I will personally send you with your god", he thought.
