Hello once again!
I'm so sorry for the late update but believe me I DID NOT see that one coming. My computer literally fried! Burn marks appeared on my keyboard! I was very lucky it didn't explode in my face! Anyway.. i also did some editing after posting the first chapter but i haven't seen any changes yet...
Blah blah blah.. okay i hear you! No more useless talk! On with the story then..^^
Teaching time!
"..so being abandoned by someone doesn't mean you have to lose hope to love. There are many people in this world and maybe even more from others that could become your friend, care for you and stand by your side. You just need to keep your eyes open..and search!"
The teenage demons were looking at their teacher with eyes so wide it seemed like they wanted to immidiately put her words into action!
Flonne's lessons were quite popular in the demon academy. Being a former angel assasin and on top of that having her classes outside in the woods, under the sun made her lectures really interesting.
Sure she continued to repeat the same old stuff about love and frienship, but now she was finally able to use the right words to make it through to her students heads. Major proof was the fact that their eyes were shining with excitement and respect when looking at her.
The demon transformation as well as the few years that had passed, had taken part of her innocence and cheerfulness away, but not the tiniest bit of kindness and understanding. Add the slightly bossy attitude that came over her at times and there you had it! The perfect combination for a teacher.
Now instead of children she was trying to work with teenagers despite the fact that she was very young herself. And she was doing wonders!
Laharl was watching her and the demon-teens discussing all these love matters, leaning on a tree nearby. He had his arms crossed in front of his chest and an indecipherable expression on his face.
Now that Etna had shared part of the Overlord's duties with him, it was easier to skip a boring job or two...or even twenty. To be honest most of the work was done by the red-haired girl. Laharl just had the title. She kept complaining about it but the prince wouldn't even listen! So much for responsibility...
Although right now that was the last thing Laharl would think about.
Damn! Just look at her!
Demon form made her look one hell of a beauty! Fire-red eyes sparkling with happiness and even being naughty sometimes seeing how she had the complete attention of all her students. So cute little fangs and wings! Waving once in a while her demon tail and twitching her long ears.
Just adorable!
She was dressed in that black dress Etna had given her. It had short sleeves and it exposed her delicate neck. Not anything too fancy since the fabric was casual and her thighs weren't covered as well. But it wasn't that short to be immodest. She was a former angel after all!
Not just adorable! That was damn hot!
"Yes but Flonne-sama!" the voice of the demon disturbed Laharl's thoughts. "Beeing like this.. will make others take advantage of you! Why should I give love to someone who will end up hurting me?"
Flonne smiled and Laharl felt like his heart stopped for a moment.
"That's not true. You never know how things will turn out. You have to take your chances. But you are correct in one thing. If you feel that your love is one-sided and the other person is using you, you need to move on. There is a limit to kindness and stupidity. Give as much as you can, but do not let go of yourself in the progress. Then your love won't be a healty feeling. And true love needs to be healthy."
The boy that had asked the question dropped his jaw a little bit. No wonder she was admired so much. Laharl had to admit her speach was brilliant!
Flonnes eyes narrowed a bit nostalgic.
"I remember beeing a lot more naive in the past too you know.."
Laharl smirked. You don't say.
"Okay everyone! Class is finished! You're dismissed. See you all next time."
"Flonne-sama! Can i ask you one more question?" the same boy interrupted before she could say anything else. Flonne smiled politely once again.
"Sure. Go ahead."
"Why would someone risk his life for a person he loves? Life is too precious to let go of it so easily. I think it's stupid!"
For some reason Laharl found himself clenching his teeth.
Damn! That little brat!
Flonne's smile didn't waver even for a bit though.
"That I'm afraid I can't explain it to you."
The teens looked at her slightly shocked and then exchanged confused glances with each other. That didn't sound like something she would say.
"Why" asked a girl with two big sheep horns
"Because you have to feel it yourselves in order to truly understand. Sacrifice is the ultimate form of love. One who finds a person that awakes such a strong feeling will also feel the need to protect the said person no matter what, and will value nothing in order to do so."
She paused.
"But to tell you the truth you don't need to be absolute. There are cases where you can find alternative solutions and use your mind instead of just emotions to succed."
"For example?"
"Oh well. You do know i'm a fallen angel now don't you?"
The whole class nodded with sudden interest.
"Our beloved Overlord gave his own life to save me." Flonne said.
Laharl raised his head proudly hearing her mention his name and his heroic actions. Even if the entire conversation was based in those love-freaky stuff it felt still good to be the bright example for all those demons. Him the mighty Overlord!
"But.." she continued. "..that wasn't an act of full sacrifice. He used the knowledge gained from watching the prinnies and the red moon. He knew he would survive. So there wasn't a problem to kill himself. Returning as a prinny and being revived by the touch of the person he saved was not a big deal."
Laharl was too shocked to speak! He told this to Flonne himself. To avoid all the annoying questions.
But at that time he wasn't thinking! Not at all! The only thing that crossed his mind was just to save her! To prevent her from disappearing!
It sounded so bad coming out of the former-angel's mouth. It wasn't essential to her. Not a big deal, she said. She didn't even realize the meaning of it!
He swallowed holding back his anger and hurt.
Oh damn! Why did he even get so worked up anyways? Him! The Overlord! Tse! This was nothing!
The students began to pack their stuff and leave. Laharl walked towards towards Flonne,again for some unknown reason more eager to give her a good scold! But then he suddenly froze.
Cause there was someone else who had stopped to talk to her.
Another young demon.
A male one.
Dun dun dun!(insert evil laugh here)
That is all for now. Hope you enjoyed it. More is coming soon.
...
I hope.
