Note: I do not own Noblesse or anything of its works. This story is purely fan fiction and self-made. The story may include several scenes from the original manhwa and may leave out most of original manhwa storyline. I do not have any knowledge of how things operate in Korea so at times this story will have a Japanese twist to it. This is my first ever fanfiction. The length of each story may vary from each chapter. May contain action scenes. While English is one of my native languages, I do not presume that my grammar and choice of words are without mistakes.

. . . . .

It has been a year since The Union was defeated and everything in Seoul was in peace. There were not any sudden battles that happened ever since the The Outbreak between Lukedonia, The Union and the human world. The human world was finally at peace and Lukedonia continued its own ruling of not having any interference within the human world, unless needed. The Outbreak had caused more fatalities and injuries than anyone could ever imagined and brought the three different organisations and worlds to a huge clash. It was comforting to know that everything had ended and amends had been made.

It was only a year, but it was a year that was hugely appreciated by the population in Seoul. People rushed through their daily lives, going to their destinations in safety, knowing that there would not be any unexplainable harm that came upon them. It was only a year, but the incident of The Outbreak remained fresh on the minds of those who were close enough to witness it. It remained especially fresh on the minds of those who were affected or had lost their family or close ones, or anyone they knew to it. It was something that could not be rectified. It was done. But at the very least, it was over. The time for peace had arrived. Peace and quiet, which was what the inhabitants of Seoul wanted, needed. It was what anyone who was involved in The Outbreak wanted, those in the human world and those in Lukedonia.

A few things had changed ever since the Outbreak ended. The Raizel Knights (RK) had been disbanded. Seira and Regis had returned to Lukedonia where Regis would officially have his coming of age ceremony. They each had to perform their duties within Lukedonia. M-21, Teo and Takeo had decided to enlist themselves in the Korean military to help defend the nation. They figured that their capabilities would be highly regarded and more useful within the military service and that suited their feelings of need to help the country. They were no longer working in Ye Ran High School. Frankenstein continued to uphold his responsibilities as the director of Ye Ran High School. Fortunately, Cadis Etrama Di Raizel was not injured enough to have him slipped into an eternal slumber. He was fortunate to continue to attend Ye Ran High School as a student.

Things had been peaceful for a year.

Frankenstein was sitting in his office reviewing the school's annual budget. His eyes scanned through the figures typed neatly in front of him. It was tedious work to him, though he acknowledged that most of his work involved going through figures and sums in minute detail, which suited him perfectly fine. He was detail oriented after all. Sometimes he wondered if sitting in the office for extended hours was what he wanted.

Before the thought could fully form in his mind, he shook his head, banishing it away. No, it was what he wanted. Did he not strived to build this place for his master, for his master to integrate within the human world, for him to experience a normal, simple life, unlike those long years which his master had led in isolation? This was what he wanted. This tedious work that he was doing each and every day was worth it. It was worthwhile, looking at his master being in this school he had built, the simple things that his master could experience every day.

He looked up at the clock on the wall and noted that it was close to lunch time. A fond smile took place. His master would soon head to the canteen with the children to have a bowl of ramen. Frankenstein thought that he should probably look into the recipe of ramen in the canteen; perhaps he could make a few changes to enhance the flavour.

. . . . .

Cadis Etrama Di Raizel was sat at the long canteen table with Shinwoo, Ik-Han, Suyi and Yuna. He could perceptibly feel the other Ye Ran High School students, mostly from the female population, stealing glances at him as usual while he sat there, staring at his bowl of ramen. He was waiting for it to grow. No emotion surfaced on his face but deep inside him, he felt an excitement whenever he waited for his ramen to grow. It was the anticipation of the ramen changing its size that caused a tingling deep in his gut, no matter how many times he had seen it.

The children were discussing about the video games that they had played yesterday. Cadis Etrama Di Raizel wondered if he would perform better today. He enjoyed his time with the children. They were carefree and innocent, untouched by the tainted works of society, their personalities clearly shone through them. It was this attribute that drew him towards them; it had been long since he was in the company of children, of true children whose characters were untarnished by certain qualities that forced humans to accept in society.

"Ah, I'm so excited about that!" exclaimed Shinwoo while slurping his ramen.

"Me too! Let's just head there after school to do another round!" suggested Ik-Han.

"Okay," Yuna agreed and nodded.

"You're coming as well right, Rai?" Suyi asked, a smile on her face.

"…"

Cadis Etrama Di Raizel continued to stare at his bowl of ramen, giving no response.

. . . . .

"It's okay, Linthiel, I'll be here tomorrow at the same time as usual, just wait for me then," said a tall blonde man with soft features. He smiled gently and extended his right hand, patting softly on a girl's head.

The tall blonde man straightened up and walked five steps towards the frosted glass door; where he stopped and looked straight into a retina scanner, located just beside the door. The door slid upwards, creating an entrance for him to exit. He turned backwards and gave the girl who was sitting on the bed, looking at him, a kind smile and left the room. The door slid back down with a swoosh.

The girl sat alone and took a look around the room. The room didn't have much privacy; the walls were made of reinforced frosted glass. It was semi-transparent and she could just make out a few people walking outside. She sat on the bed waiting as usual, and stared through the glass walls, looking at the outside world. She wondered what was it like to be out there, to roam around as freely as the people outside. Through the semi-transparent glass walls, she could see other circular cubicles which resembled the one she was in. Her sphere shaped room was simple, it held a single bed, a reinforced glass chair and reinforced glass round table. Everything in the room was white, clean and simple. But it felt cold, everything felt cold to her touch. She supposed it was due to the fact that they were made of glass, but she felt that something seemed to be lacking in this room of hers. Something was missing, but she did not know what.

She shivered, a feeling of chill suddenly overtaking her slight body. She rubbed her arms, covered by long sleeves, and thought that it was unlikely that the temperature had dropped. She let her thoughts wander for a bit. A hiss from the door caught her attention. She saw the man-in-glasses in a white coat entering her room. That was how she referred him as.

He's here.

Her eyes flickered over to the ground the visitor stood. She stood up and her white knee length dress fluttered around whilst she gave a slight bow, showing respect. He was a regular guest in this room, though she supposed, deeming him as guest was not accurate, as he had more power and authority than her. He was one of the ones in charge of her.

"Linthiel, I'm here to check on you again," stated the man while drawing out a PDA from his pocket. "Today we will be checking your abilities and make sure that they're at its usual rate."

The man keyed in a sequence of commands on his PDA and a hologram screen appeared in front of him. The screen showed a younger version of the girl, her ability details and her check up schedule. The girl looked at him expectantly. He nodded his head.

She began.

She circled her right foot back and her body arched in response. Her arms extended in a welcoming gesture. Eyes closed, she raised her head high. She felt the surrounding air was disturbed and a slow breeze brushed against her skin. She opened her eyes and felt her shoulder length hair swirled around her. She looked towards her right palm. There, hovered a few inches above her palm, were icicles shards, gently enveloped by a pulsing white glow.

The man-in-glasses nodded and logged the details into the hologram screen. She stood very still. Yet, there was an aura of movement that surrounded her form, a certain elegance that could not be comprehended, as though she was a ballerina dancing in stillness. She kept her head low, looking at the shoes of the man-in-glasses. She knew what came next, it was procedure, something she was used to since as long as she remembered.

"Good. Can you control them as usual?" he questioned, fingers pushing his glasses higher on the bridge of his nose.

She turned her right palm to face the glass wall. She focused her attention on her power, and flexed her palm slightly. The icicles were fired at the wall and they shattered, shimmering pieces scattering on the floor around the unscathed glass wall. She turned her head towards the man, not meeting his gaze directly. He gave a casual wave of his hand and she knew the shattered icicles had disappeared before they even had the chance to melt.

"Excellent control. You're one of our very best, Linthiel," he nodded and smiled.

His smile often felt off. She should have gotten used to this by now; she had been doing this throughout her life. But somehow, she wasn't. The contrast of smiles between the man-in-glasses and the blonde man was too different. She was not able to comprehend that. The man-in-glasses typed in more details on the hologram screen.

"I will see you in 2 days again," he said and left the room.

The door slid down with a swoosh again. The girl sat down on her bed and stared at the walls, trying to see through the frosted semi-transparent glass, her still profile emitting a certain elegance around her
