Overlord: Ancient one

During a break between classes, Rory approached Arthur's desk, her expression playful and her eyes twinkling with mischief. "So, how's it going with the ice queen?" she whispered, her tone light yet filled with curiosity.

Arthur let out a sigh, leaning back in his chair. "It feels like someone cast a time spell on me just to make me suffer," he replied, his voice tinged with exasperation.

Rory chuckled softly before Arthur's expression turned serious. "And Rory, what are you doing here? I thought I made it clear that I wanted to handle this mission alone."

Rory smirked, unfazed by his attempt at seriousness. "Oh dear, you look so funny with that serious look, my love," she teased, her tone affectionate but knowing. "And for the record, I didn't break your orders first. It was Albedo and Aurora who decided to come here.

"In fact, all the female guardians were planning to attend this academy. Tatsumaki, Shalltear and Evileye were even preparing their school uniforms. The only reason they didn't come was because Angrboda and I restricted them."

Arthur's eyes widened slightly in surprise at Rory's revelation. "All of them? Really?"

Internally, Arthur addressed Friday. 'Friday, my dear, why was I not aware of this?'

[It was nothing serious, sir. That's why I didn't tell you,] Friday responded calmly.

Rory's reassuring words brought a small smile to Arthur's lips. "It's not like I can fault them. Your enemies are increasing day by day. So additional security is always a good thing," she said with a smile.

Arthur nodded, "You're right, Rory. Thank you for looking out for me,"

Rory gestured towards a group of students approaching them. "Looks like everyone wants to talk to you," she said, her tone light-hearted. "I'll be going, dear. See you later."

As it was Arthur's first day at the academy, it was natural that the students would be curious about him. With a nod to Rory, Arthur prepared himself to face the crowd of curious students.

"Hey, Arthur," one of the students called out, "where are you from?"

"I'm from England," Arthur replied with a friendly smile.

The student nodded. "Cool! England, huh? So, what brought you all the way to Kuoh Academy?"

"My family moved here recently, and Kuoh Academy came highly recommended. I'm excited to experience the culture here and make new friends," Arthur explained.

Seeing that Arthur was very friendly, all the students surrounded him, asking different questions.

Arthur was really enjoying his act as a teenager.

After some time, the students gradually left him alone.

But suddenly, a girl approached him with an unexpected question.

"You seem to be packing really big under your pants," the girl said, her tone unabashed. She had spectacles, gold-colored eyes, and lightly messy brunette hair tied into braids on each side.

Arthur instantly identified who she was, but still decided to ask. "And you are?"

"Aika, Aika Kiryuu," she replied, her tone unabashed and her eyes gleaming with curiosity.

Arthur maintained his composure, though he was internally amused by her boldness. "Nice to meet you, Aika," he said smoothly. "I suppose you have quite the eye for detail."

Aika grinned, clearly enjoying the reaction her question had elicited. "I knew it, you are really interesting," she said, her tone playful.

"Do you know Rory from before you came here?" she asked, clearly curious about the familiarity she had observed between Arthur and Rory.

Arthur nodded. "Yes, Rory and I have known each other for quite some time. We go way back."

"That's cool! Rory is pretty popular around here. In fact, she is one of most beautiful girl in this school."

"But she rarely talks to anyone. In fact, it's my first time seeing her take the initiative to talk to anyone other than Mrs. Esdeath," Aika said.

Arthur smiled, thinking about Rory's unique way of interacting with others or more she only knows the way of scythe.

"She can be quite selective about who she opens up to. I guess our history helps." Arthur said.

Aika nodded. "I suppose that makes sense. But because of that, most of the boys are actually jealous of you."

"Jealous? Why would they jealous of me." Arthur asked innocently.

"For one, you're close with the most popular girl in this school, and for another..." Aika glanced at Issei and his friends. "They tried to peek in the dressing room when Rory was changing."

Arthur internally sighed, Oh boy, I knew where this is going, he thought to himself.

"What happened then?" Arthur asked, already suspecting the answer.

Aika smirked. "Rory caught them, of course, and beat them half to death. In fact, Principal Albedo and Vice-Principal Aurora arrived just before things got completely out of hand."

I suspect that much, Arthur thought. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Issei had been killed by Rory and Aurora had to bring him back to life.

Arthur kept his expression neutral. "Sounds like they got off lightly, then."

Aika laughed. "You could say that. Rory doesn't tolerate any nonsense. She doesn't have many friends, but she's every boy's dream girlfriend. And since you and Rory seem pretty close, all the boys are jealous, thinking you could be a potential rival."

Arthur raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing at his lips. A potential rival? Boys, she's my wife and mother of one.

"Rival, huh?" Arthur said aloud, maintaining his innocent tone. "I guess I'll have to watch my back, then."

Aika laughed again, clearly enjoying the banter. "Yeah, you better. Issei and his gang can be quite persistent."

Arthur nodded, glancing over at Issei and his friends, If they did anything inappropriate to my Rory-chan once again, I will kill him. Because even if I friendly and kind, if they distrub my wife, I will show him hell as I am still Ancient One.
