Chapter 2 - Day 1: The true beginning- Part 1

Zolma appears out from under the darkness of the stairwell in the back of the Academy near the first year classrooms. He jolts to a sudden stop as he hears what seems to be rustling under the stairs. He turns around, then looks under the stairway. Much to his surprise, Zolma spot a young woman and a young man well within each others arms. The young woman moans as she rides the man like horse, as the two of them go at it roughly. Amused, Zolma decides to continue to watch them having sex. The man constantly thrusts upward, moving his hips to a rhythm as he hold onto her hips, while she moves back and forth to a different rhythm. As the two of them continue at it, she leans over him, putting her arms on the ground as she decides to start focusing on moving her hips even more. She caresses his face, and eventually starts kissing him. Slowly, she licks his face with a devious look on her face, as she uses her left hand to wrap her hand around his neck. The man smiles, enjoying the pain, causing Zolma to laugh. The two of them come to a sudden stop, she covers his eyes as she looks up, trying to figure out where the noise came from. However, thinking that the person would try to hide, she simply sees Zolma standing there still clearly laughing. Before she can say something, Zolma interrupts her.

"To think that someone who has a reputation as the conservative third Princess of the Vivianos Kingdom who is the kindest person you'll ever meet is someone who like to dominate people." Zolma says in a harsh mocking tone as he walks forward toward her. Arriving right before her, he squats down looking at her inches from her face.

"What the fuck do you want ya fucking bastard?" She says glaring at him, in an extremely harsh tone, as if she doesn't care by the fact that she was found out. Zolma reaches his left hand forward, grabbing her face. He covers her mouth with his hand as he adds a little pressure to her face. He lifts it a bit as he snaps his right fingers causing an orb of light to appear beside him in order to get a better look at her face. She has Deep green hair along with Emerald colored eyes making her an Elf. Looking over at her hips, he sees that she has a Zeldai Human Tail as well.

"Tch Tch Tch." Zolma then sighs, shaking his head softly. {This will probably piss her off and make her curious, but it's a new world… might as well enjoy it the way I want, right?} "Such a waste…" He thinks for a quick second then scoffs with a bit of a chuckle. She tries to bite his hand, but to no avail as his skin is too touch for her teeth to affect anything. He lets go of her, and without looking back, he ignores her as he walks away leaving her on top of the man she's with. Zolma simply decides to head to his first class, Academics, despite clearly being late. The moment he opens the door, the class stops as the professor looks over at him. She glares at him, until she notices his Uniform, then gets confused by his uniform.

"Zolma, please meet me after class today." She says respectfully as she focus and goes back to teaching the class. Zolma nods as he looks around heading to his seat in the back of the class, where he sits alone, away from the rest of the class siting above and farthest away from what's happening. During the next four hours class goes on without much effort, though halfway Ms. Deliana notices that Zolma is sleeping in the back of the class. She decided to ignore it since she'll be chatting with him at the end of the class anyways. The class ends without much trouble, and Ms. Deliana notices that Zolma is still sleeping in the back of the class at the top, so she decides to walk over to him.

{I don't know why you're suddenly wearing a Royal Uniform, or why you're sleeping, but I either way, I will make sure that he learns everything properly.} She thinks, not even thinking of reprimanding him. She reaches out to grab his shoulder, only for her to suddenly loose her footing as Zolma quickly sweeps her off her feet with a swift kick, grabbing her by the collar of her blazer, swinging her around, slamming her onto the desk in front of him without breaking it. Shocked by what just happened her body freezes up as she tries to say something, only for her throat to be blocked by Zolma's left hand grabbing her throat. Still a little bit groggy from his nap, he realizes what he's doing and to who, and immediately releases her.

"Shit, sorry, I didn't mean to do that! I forgot to tell you not to approach me when I sleep." Zolma says as he genuinely apologizes by helping her stand up, dusting her off, then puts his left hand up to her throat again, but this time to heal it, as he heals all part of her that he injured. Still confused by what just happened to her, she look at him, gathering herself a bit as she grabs onto his shoulders. "Sorr…///" Zolma begins to say as he's about to apologize again, only to get interrupted by Ms. Deliana.

"That was Amazing!" She says happily, confusing the shit out of him. She happily jumps a few times to confirm it with a sparkle in her eyes as she lets go of him. "I haven't felt like that since I was twenty when I used to snowboard! How did you manage to pick me up so easily?" She says as she jumps around some more, asking as she look at him with beaming eyes. "Never mind that, pick me up again!" She says as she runs and jumps toward him without a warning. Zolma realizing what's happening, though still confused, catchers her by the waist, and lifts her up into the air. Putting his left hand on her stomach, he swirls her around on his hand for a few seconds, before he grabs her by the waist again, bringing her down, setting her on her feet without much effort. She simply smiles brightly due to the adrenaline that she just felt, so she jumps up and down some more joyfully.

{Where the hell is this day going…I ended up in a new world fused with another version of myself so I've been here the entire time. I now know information and the future of so many people, I dealt with an event that would've killed so many people. I saved Michael's Daughter, preventing him from becoming the worst Demon Worshiper in a few years, I saw a Princess having sex with her toy…And now my Professor is joyful because she likes the thrill of being weightless in the air…} Zolma thinks trying to make sense of everything that has happened so far. He sighs, smiling slightly as he comes to a conclusion. {As long as I don't do anything illegal, I might as well have embrace the chaos.} He thinks, accepting that he can't fight against reality. "Ms. Deliana, would you like to experience being fully weightless?" Zolma says expecting her to be happy by that remarks. However, that was not the case, as she grabbed his shoulders, and looked him dead in the eye.

"FUCK YES!" She shouts joyously, ecstatic by his suggestion, causing him to chuckle to himself a bit.

"In that case, please brace yourself!" Zolma say as becomes confuses, until he snaps his fingers, causing the two of them to vanish. They appear above a large mountain valley with a forest inside of it by a large margin.

"What do you mean brace myself?" She asks, not noticing their situation due to still being face to face directly with Zolma, until she looks around. "What the!" She says as she looks around frantically only to see that they are in the middle of the air.

"Have fun." Zolma says as he grabs her hands.

"Wait what?" Ms. Deliana says as she sees him take her hands off of him, causing her to fall, rapidly because she's standing vertically. Thinking that she would be scare because of it randomly happening, he was expecting to hear a scream of fear, however, it hears the opposite. "FUCK YEAH!" Maxinevra shouts with extreme excitement as she fist bumps the air. She smiles as she looks around, taking in the view as she adjusts her body to become horizontal. She spreads out her arms and legs allowing drag to take over, and slow her down quite a bit. Still falling, she smiles brightly as she takes in the vastness of where she is. The glorious sunlight reflecting off the distant lake, the mountains with snow at their peaks. The vastly large and luscious forest within the mountain valley. Zolma flies quickly behind her using wind magic and other wind related abilities. He moves quickly ending up directly below her, without disrupting her fall.

"I take it by the look on your face that you love this?" Zolma asks shouting loud enough so she could hear him. She looks below her, and smiles.

"Yes!" She shouts back beaming with joy in her eyes. The two of them come to a slow yet sudden stop in the middle of the air, confusing her. "What's happening?" Maxinevra asks as she looks at Zolma.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to show you something more exciting than what you just experienced." Zolma says with a mischievous smile on his face, as his hair flows within the wind. He moves up in front of her as he changes her position to be a sitting position using nothing but the wind. Also meaning that he is purposefully making his hair flow in the wind.

"Something more exciting?" She questions for two seconds, then realizes that he's been moving throughout the air without falling. "Wait, flying?" She says as she becomes even more excited. He flies up to her, putting a finger on her lips.

"Shhhh. Just watch!" Zolma says as he quiets her down a bit with a smile on his face, as he dives backward without a seconds notice. He smiles as he puts his arms to the side diving like a knife through the wind. Slowly, he begins to spin himself like a corkscrew through the air, accelerating bit by bit. Within seconds he spins rapidly, then using his magic he directs himself upward with a quick u-turn. He jets upward keeping the corkscrew as jolts past Maxinevra, causing her Brown bob-cut hair to flow in the wind, revealing her short Elf ears. Revealing that she is a Half Human half Elf, as that's the only mix that shortens the Ear length. He does another U-turn to come right back down toward her. However this time, instead of passing her, right as he Corkscrews down he begins to manipulate the air around him, creating a beat. He comes to a sudden stop right in front of her as he continues to spin. Suddenly more beats begin to appear around the two of them. As he turns himself right side up, the beat begins to resemble Swing Music. His spinning comes to an almost instant stop as he strikes a pose, to what sounds like a loud trumpet. Out nowhere, Zolma begins to sing and dance, and with every motion that he makes, he manipulates the sound in the air, to make one hell of a catching beat to match his lyrics. He sings and makes a full five minute song about 'flying high in the sky', 'enjoy the view of nature', 'looking at one hell of a beauty', and lastly, 'Deliana'. Who is currently vibing to his singing as she enjoys his skills of moving and manipulating the air around him. After the around six minutes he brings everything to an end as he slowly stops his dance along with music. Though the music doesn't fully stop, instead it slowly transition into a soft piano as he seemingly walks over to Ms. Deliana. She watches as he comes closer, then sits down in front of her, all as if they aren't floating in the air. "Well, now that you've seen that, if you're okay with it, I would like to make a proposal of sorts." Zolma says as he takes a rather serious look on his face, allowing his hair to flow behind him. Though it takes her a second to gather herself, she shakes her head a little, regaining her focus on the situation at hand.

"What kind of proposal where you thinking of?" Maxinevra asks as She tries to look at him, but utterly fails as she quickly becomes distracted by the view around them.

"If I were to gather, I would say that when you came to wake me up in the back of the class, you did so for two reasons." Zolma says, catching her attention, seeing that it's actually serious. She looks over at him, and listens. "The first reason is because you had to meet you after class, I'm assuming that it's because I decided to wear my Royal Uniform today instead of my normal Academy Uniform." He says, clearly stating that it was on purpose.

"Wait, so that is actually a Uniform that the Academy handed to you?…" {Wait, so does that mean that he's the prince or heir of a not well known kingdom or country? Or does it mean that he's a secret one???} She says and thinks as she brings her right thumb between her in confusion as she rests and curls her pointer finger on her forehead. This of course means that she goes into deep thought, causing Zolma to chuckle a little bit.

"I can most certainly tell you that no, I am not a Prince of any kingdom." He says with a bit of a laugh at the end and in a joyous tone. She looks at him with even more confusion.

"So are you a King or something?" Ms. Deliana blurts out having given up.

"Close, my position is similar to that of a King, though with nothing to rule. I am a member of the Elemus Family that ruled half of Zelvia over twenty thousand years ago, they were the largest Empire at some point… Though, now we simply have nothing except the Tea House Home that I own along with my Parent's and Grandparent's houses as well as the land around our homes…" Zolma says as he stops flowing his hair, thinking about his family situation with a soft smile on his face.

"Wait, so you are an Emperor?" She questions softly trying to process the information she just learned. {If he's an Emperor, that would make him the most powerful person with his abilities… so what does he want with a professor like me?} Ms. Deliana questions as she looks up at him, only to find a smile on his face.

"So I was thinking, that you could excuse me sleeping in your class as long as I pass all test and quizzes, and in turn I will teach you not only the wind magic and techniques that I showed you, but anything else that I know as long as it's within my capabilities." Zolma says, explaining his proposal. She looks at him, stunned, not sure of how to react or respond to such a trade, deciding to think about it for a while. He sees that she wants to think about it for a little bit, so he decides to relax a bit after the chaos he experienced before class. Adjusting his position, he begins to lay down waiting for her to finish thinking as he puts his arms behind his head, closing his eyes with a smile on his face. Around five minutes later, she moves over beside him, and gives him a nudge to open his eyes. Opening his eyes in response, Zolma becomes quite surprised to see her leaning over him.

"Please tell me something." Maxinevra asks with a clear uncertainty in her eyes. "You're an Emperor and my Student, clearly one of the most powerful people on the continent. Despite this, the proposal that you made is too much in my favor. I assume the reason why you are confident in passing the test and quizzes is because you already know the information. I can also guess a few reason fro wanting to sleep in class, but in turn, I get to learn anything I want from you without limit. Surely you wouldn't be so reckless to trust a random stranger like me just because I'm a professor, after all if you were that stupid I don't think you're family would've given you the title." She says clear as day as she looks into his eyes. "So, what do you gain from trusting and teaching me?" Ms. Deliana asks sternly, very curious as to what his answer will be.

"First, let me add a few things to your list real quick." Zolma says with a sly look in his eyes. "Firstly, you're not just a random professor, though I haven't been here long, even I can tell by looking at the upperclassmen and fellow classmates that you are a deeply trusted professor. After all if that wasn't the case, why would many of them stay after class normally to ask you all sorts of questions." He says truthfully as he sits up, then looks at her in the eyes. "Secondly, because I have these abilities, unless I get killed, I will probably easily live for more than a million years." He says with hidden intent behind it, hoping that she understood it.

"So... you're planning on teaching me just so you won't be bored?" She gathers, causing him to shake his head.

"Let me be a little bit more direct then, why do you think I know all of these things?" Zolma remarks as he faces his body toward her as well.

"Well, because you were paying attention to me…obviously…" Ms. Deliana says, quickly going silent as she realizes what that means. Zolma puts his hand on her head with a smile.

"After all, when I enrolled into this Academy I knew that there would be some interesting stuff to find and explore. Though I have to say, I was expecting my Professor to be one of the most Gorgeous Women that I've ever laid my eyes upon!" He exclaims as he snaps his fingers sending them back into the classroom they were just in, on the desk, however with a noise and light shield around them so they can't be heard or seen. Stun locked by what she just heard, she simply sits there blankly. "Well, I hope you think about my proposal… We should probably be heading back to class." Zolma says as he snaps his fingers once more, cleaning their clothes and returning their hair to their original states. He looks at her, smiling as he exits the orb, then heads down to the front of the class. Everyone looks at him wondering why he's in this class when he doesn't even take Fundamentals of Art, one of the two classes that Ms. Deliana teaches. Arriving at the front podium, he looks around, seeing that he has everyone's attention, he claps his hands twice, making the magic around Maxinevra vanish, making her visible to others.

"Ms. Deliana, I know you are shocked by such a confession." Zolma whispers into her ears using sound magic. "Sorry for the disturbance everyone!" Zolma announces to the class. "However, please follow along so you can continue teaching the class and not get in trouble, after all, I would hate for you to loose your job because of me." He whispers to her, causing her to gather herself quickly as she looks around suddenly, as he puts his hands onto the podium. "However, it seems like all of you failed Ms. Deliana's little test for you guys." He announces shaking his head in disappointment. "Please stand on the desk, and strike a pose, and I'll tell them that you wanted them to notice you and practice with any materials that they want to and use any medium that they want." Zolma whispers as he continues to shake his head in disappointment. Maxinevra nods in agreement despite him not being able to see as she decides to sit down at the edge of the long desk. She lets her legs dangle off the edge as she crosses them together, making sure that her brown flared button up slacks, her long formal green tunic, and brown blazer are in proper position. She also decides to mimic something that a former student of hers once suggested; she rests her arm on her leg while having her hand around her mouth. Zolma looks up, glossing over the class, making his way up to her as the students gossip. "After all, not once have you guys noticed her, posing for you at the top row, ready and waiting." Zolma says in disappointment, then gestures toward Ms. Deliana causing everyone to look back, and notice her, except Thalia. Suddenly all the student begin chatting and causing a little bit of a ruckus. "The task is to draw her using any medium you would like, and take your time, and when you're done, please feel free to ask her any questions; she'll make sure to answer any questions you have." Zolma says with a smile on his face as he gives her a nod. Satisfied that he was able to not get her in trouble, he decides to exit the class, heading to his own, Once again being late. Arriving at the next class, Music class, he sees and hears that everyone is practicing their their instruments. {I see… time for some relaxation.} Zolma sighs out of relief as he heads up the back of the classroom where he usually sits. He looks to his side, forgetting that he had stored his messenger bag inside of a magical storage this morning. {Seems like a wooden flute would be a good one to play.} He thinks as he reaches under the desk, summoning the bag along with a wooden flute using nature spirits. The professor goes around helping the students. Zolma looks down at the flute deciding what song to play. He simply smiles softly, deciding to play something that reminds him of Ms. Deliana; He's still clearly thinking about his confession. The moment he begins playing the flute, a soft melody begins to flow throughout the room. Slowly, several people stop playing and focusing on their instruments, beginning to focus on him. Zolma sways slightly as he plays the soft melody carefully and intricately. The Professor looks up, surprised by what they hear. Slowly the classroom becomes silent by his music; suddenly someone takes out their bongos from home. They begin to play them with a simple slow beat, matching the vibe of Zolma's flute. A select few students become inspired, and decide to match the simply yet smooth flow. One by one, A handpan, an Ocarina, A Steel flute, an acoustic guitar slow start playing well, along side him. This continues for another three minutes before Zolma decides to change it up a bit. He signals for everyone to keep playing as he slowly stops playing the Flute, making sure that the tempo is steady. "OOOoooooooaaaaaaa." He sings beautifully, shocking everyone as the music can be heard throughout the Academy; A student decided to use the Emergency broadcasting in each classroom, to broadcast the serene music. He sings a soothing song about a hurricane and love, entwining the two in a very serene sounding deep husky voice. This continues for around two minutes, until it bring it to a smooth stop. Suddenly a barrage of clapping happens as he looks up, seeing that people loved hearing him sing. Sadly it doesn't last long as everyone disperses and goes back to what they were doing earlier. Smiling, happy with himself, he simply packs the flute into his bag. Then of course he puts the bag inside the subspace, where it will stay safely. Seeing Ms. Hallfire, the music professor, distracted, he takes his chance and leaves the class. Looking around, making sure there's no one else in the area he heads over to the closest stairwell. Walking under it, he snaps his fingers, teleporting himself to the roof. Appearing on the roof behind the vent, he decides to scope out the area first. He holds out his left hand, allowing a thin strand of magic to spread out, around the entire section of roof that he's on. Allowing the strands to travel, anything they touch he is able to identify. He notices that someone is sleeping in the middle of the roof, though that's not all they are doing. Snapping his fingers once more, he appears before the person, seeing that the person has their eyes closed. Looking more closely, he recognizes this person. Especially seeing her Black hair with white tips in a simple bob-cut down to her shoulders. {Well then… this is a surprise, I wasn't expecting to see the so called 'Ice Empress' of the Academy. After all, she is an actual one similar to me. Though unlike me, her situation is well known since she is in charge of an actual country and Empire. As a result she gets to roam around the Academy as freely as she wants, since this is the only place in the world where she can be by herself safely… excluding Thalia and me. Wasn't expecting to run into her at this point in time since she doesn't appear in the story that's in Alexander's memories.} Zolma thinks as he sighs seeing her sleep so soundly. Deciding not to intervene in her peace, Zolma simply walks over a bit creating distance from her. {I have around three hours till the next class, I should take advantage of the time…} He thinks as he raises his legs, sitting with his legs crossed as he begins to meditate while floating. While Zolma has always been an Emperor, since gaining the knowledge of Alexander, his creator, who is now a part of him, has started using his powers and abilities openly. While he and many others are making sure that their abilities aren't revealed to the public, that doesn't mean that they won't affect the world. Especially since even Zolma realizes that while Alexander knew this world as "The Nightmare of Doran Kingdom," the world isn't something simple like that. The world is changing rapidly, diverting very much what it originally was. This is how the world naturally works though, for some it changes out of the blue, for others they expected the change. Life isn't something that is simple, regardless of how it's perceived. Zolma now has to decide while he meditates, what path he wants to live his life. During this time, just under three hours pass, causing the bell to go off all around, signaling the end of classes for the day. The moment he stops meditating, setting his feet on the ground, opening his eyes, he sees none other than the Ice Empress staring at him with curiosity. Seeing that Zolma is now awake, she expects him to say something first, giving an obvious look to him. In response, Zolma doesn't say a single word, simply giving her a nod as the moment he bows slightly, snapping his finger at the same time, he vanishes into thin air. The Ice Empress looks around in confusion, intrigued by his sudden vanishing. Zolma appears inside what is now the empty classroom where Maxinevra teaches. Looking around, he makes his way to the center of the class. He simply smiles as he looks around, taking in the view of the majestical classroom. The Intricate patterns along the wall, the Green, Violet, Blue, and Yellow giving off a Regal vibe to the classroom. As he admires the room, his mind begins to think about what to make of everything once more, despite his resolve. Taking a deep breath, relaxing both his mind and body, the thoughts fade as he focuses on the now, since he knows that the next major side story takes place about three months from now. Looking at the desk, he figures it's going to be a while, so he starts getting onto the desk, only for Ms. Deliana to enter the room, catching him halfway.

"Were you planning on taking a nap or something?" She remarks as she walks over to him.

"Yeah." Zolma says as he stops climbing onto the desk, and relaxes himself. She walks up to him, and looks up at him a bit.

"I imagine that you're awaiting a response to your confession earlier… I have a condition or two regarding it before I agree, is that alright?" Maxinevra says as Zolma notices a mischievous look appear in her eyes for a split second.

"I don't see why not." Zolma says shrugging.

"Okay, so while I don't mind the two of us going out, the conditions I'm thinking of are simple. First, we have to live together, and it's not going to be my home as I still live with family. Secondly, you have to stay awake for every class and pass through your own skills, no being lazy, as I will not help you due to me being a Professor. Thirdly, you are allowed to date others while you are with me, I will not hog you to myself. Lastly, make sure that we don't get caught while at the Academy, alright, because while I won't be fired, you will be moved out of all of my classes if we get caught. If you can agree to all of those, I will accept your confession." Ms. Deliana says as she smiles softly, almost as if she hopes for these conditions to deter him.

"I see, those are quite reasonable terms, how soon would you be able to move in?" Zolma says, clearly understanding her intention, but deciding to ignore it with a slight grin on his face.

"I can move in tomorrow, since I have to get all of my things ready which might take a while, though I don't have much." Maxinevra says, sighing in defeat as she readies herself for her new life. {Seems like my life will be heading in a new direction…} She thinks as she smiles to herself.

"Makes sense." Zolma says as he takes out his phone, in order to pull something up. "Would you like to choose a room?" Zolma says as he shows her a 3D rendition of his home on his phone.

"Why is that something that you just happen to have ready to go?" She questions, as she looks at him in confusion, but proceeds to look at it regardless. Ms. Deliana looks at it for quite a while before she comes to a decision, all while Zolma simply smiles, realizing that his life will no longer be the same, though he kind of already figure that the moment he "Absorbed" Alexander, gaining his memories and knowledge. Though, it's only now does it truly hit him, after being in love with Maxinevra for a while now. Well… Also the fact that he learned about the full extent of his abilities through Alexander's memories as well.

"Right here seems about right." Ms. Deliana says as she finishes selecting her new room. Zolma looks at the room she picked, and smiles.

"You do know that the room you picked is my room right?" Zolma remarks, just to make sure.

"Is that a problem?" Maxinevra says with a bit of sass.

"Not really just wanted to make sure you know what your getting yourself into." Zolma says as he snaps his fingers appearing right behind her, as he leans forward towards her ears. "Especially since you're so cute!" He says in a deep soothing voice, shocking her because of how close he was, causing her to become a bit flustered. Surprised, she gathers herself rather quickly, and immediately grabs his collar with one hand, turning around, pushing him onto the desk.

"Well now, maybe if you behave, I might not be such a pain in the future." Maxinevra says lowering her voice a bit to sound seductive as she looks him in the eyes. Zolma smiles as he finds this situation rather amusing. He snaps his fingers appearing behind her, and in less than three seconds, he successfully turned her around, into the same situation that she had him in. Though unlike what she did, he grabs her head as he leans closer.

"Now, Where's The Fun In That.~" He says in a very deep seductive voice, with a bit of a deep chuckle at the end of it. "I would rather you be a bit feisty, after all, it's part of why I like you." Zolma says with a bit of a smile on his face, just to make her blush, which he succeeds in. He backs off, letting go of her. "I'll have to prepare some stuff for your arrival, so I have to go now!" He says as she gets up, and looks over at him. Ms. Deliana smiles in defeat as she walks over to him and gives him a hug. Surprised, it takes him a few seconds, but he reciprocates…
