He walked through the long corridor and was about to have some fun when he bumped into a group of cadets head-on.These people saw him with a bit of awe and curiosity in their eyes, and even a bit of sympathy.
"I heard that you were locked up by Tutor Ellis for several days?"A bold cadet couldn't help but ask.
Nyx blinked and suddenly revealed an aggrieved expression and sighed, "Yeah, I'm so miserable, locked up in his study, I can't even use my magic power freely, I'm really about to go crazy."
The trainees looked at each other in disbelief, and someone couldn't help but whisper, "Mentor Ellis is also too strict, isn't he ..."
Nix took the opportunity to shake his head and added, "You guys don't even know how scary he is, he's simply cold and unfeeling."
"But ..." a cadet hesitated and whispered, "We saw him bring you blankets during class."
"And brought food."
"I heard he quietly changed everything in your room back."
Nyx: "..."
The aggrieved expression on his face froze, his eyes flickered for a moment, he coughed dryly, and was about to change the topic when another cadet suddenly approached, full of gossip, and asked, "So, what's the relationship between you and Mentor Ellis, anyway?"
"Yeah, we've never seen our mentor be so special to anyone before."
"He used to just let people get up on their own even when his students fell down, yet you managed to get him to personally go and bring you food?"
"Did you use some special means?"
The corner of Nix's mouth twitched, not realizing that these trainees were so keenly observant.He rolled his eyes and suddenly revealed a mysterious and unpredictable smile, shrugging his shoulders and saying, "Well ... you guys guess?"
Then, he leisurely walked around the crowd and left in style.
However, not long after he left, the tutors of the academy began to discuss it privately.
"That kid Ellis, did he really raise the demon to be obedient?"
"It doesn't look like it to me, rather, it's Ellis himself who increasingly looks like he's being influenced by the demon."
"Speaking of which, isn't this a typical case of raising a cub and being taken by the cub?"
"Hehe, I told you earlier, human tutors taking adolescent demons will turn into this situation sooner or later."
"So that's why, Ellis should listen to our experiences more often."
"... But didn't he say 'demons and elves are different' in the first place?"
"Hahaha, it turns out that we still have to coax."
The mentors laughed and shook their heads, while at the same time, Nyx was standing on the academy's bell tower, blowing the wind and looking at the distant scenery in an incomparably happy mood.
He knew that Ellis was special to him, but Ellis, himself, didn't seem to realize it yet.Well, let him be slow to realize it for a little while longer.
Nyx sat at the top of the bell tower, squinting down at the courtyard of the academy below, a hint of a smile, if any, at the corner of his mouth.He twirled a small, compact wand casually in his hand, one he'd passed off from some student who was probably going to be told off again in a few moments.
"Tsk."He smacked his lips softly and casually tossed his wand into the void rift, turning and leaping from the bell tower in a single bound, his black feathered wings spreading out instantly as he glided through the air and landed firmly on the ground.Then he saw Ellis standing in the shadows of the academy gallery, arms clasped over his chest, looking at him with a cold expression.
"Uh."Nyx blinked, quickly searching his mind for anything he'd done recently that was particularly excessive.
"What is it this time?"Ellis spoke slowly, his tone sounding calm, but Nyx knew that the more he did, the more impatient he was.
Nyx subconsciously straightened his back and gave a standard heartless smile, "Nothing, I just came out to blow off some steam."
Ellis' gaze shifted slightly downward, landing on the little bit of feathered wings behind Nyx that hadn't fully retracted, and faintly said, "Blowing off steam?"
Nyx quickly retracted his wings and waved his hands, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, blowing off some steam and reflecting on life in the meantime."
Ellis didn't pay any attention to his babbling, and walked a few steps closer, standing in front of him, his eyes sharply sizing him up.
Nyx was a bit uncomfortable with the stare and gave a soft grunt, inclining his head, "Why do you keep looking at me like that?Is it hard to believe that you're starting to appreciate my beauty?"
"I was wondering if you should settle down a bit."Ellis said lightly, "If you still want to stay at the academy."
Nyx giggled in her heart, but still had a smile on her face, "Geez, Ellis, how can you be so heartless?I'm your contracted demon."
