Reincarnated in a novel as a maid

Chapter 33

I picked up a long sword, it suited me the best, my body was curvy and it often troubled me,

A longsword, I have always liked them even in the past life when I would read novels seeing protagonists using swords to slice away anything in their path.

It was silly of me but I also had a fantasy like that,

Kris also had selected a longsword as she was also trained in it.

I saw Freya and the heroine of light arguing, I could not hear what it was but it seemed Freya had challenged her to a duel.

‘Interesting, it would be cool to see Freya on receiving end for once…’

Nova was all to it as it would cut some time for her class, she didn’t like us at all and was more than willing to let us bunk the class but once she taught, she did it seriously as well.

The class already knew of the little thing between those two and knew they were on bad terms, the heroine of light was a commoner so many nobles supported Freya.

No matter how much bitchy she acted towards them, they could not just switch sides with a commoner and let a noble be alone.

A thing that kept humanity together was these nobles would always unite together no matter the grievances they had with each other, while facing a common enemy, they would become one and eliminate the threat.

Freya and Aurora (heroine’s name I got to know from ongoing conversations) were facing each other in the stadium.

“Miss Freya, you should not bully your schoolmates even if they are of lower rank than you, they have done hard work to reach here.”

“Shut your trap! you bitch, acting so pure while I can already guess how a filthy commoner like you got here, seeing your body, I bet you probably—”

“Enough! Miss Freya, I can’t allow you to keep tarnishing me like this! I will use this duel to make you realize this!”

As they faced off against each other, the duel started with a signal from professor Nova.

Aurora used her sword and charged at Freya, her body glowing with light.

Gasps were heard as people realized her element.

I could see many of the nobles from earlier making tough expressions probably wondering if they should switch sides with Aurora.

She might be more beneficial to them in the future.

The element of Light was just that important and rare.

But as they were still in thought, darkness covered Freya’s body and she blocked Aurora’s sword with hers.

Once again surprised voices were heard.

“Woah, didn’t expect to see two of the rarest elements here in our class, the academy sure lives up to its reputation”

“As expected of Lady Freya, her talent is as great as our princess from what I heard, no matter how talented a commoner is, they can’t hold a candle to us nobles.”

“Yeah dude, you are right, these filthy commoner whores, bet her mother slept with some noble to give birth to her.”

“Haha, yes, Sir you are right….”

As nobles were laughing, the commoners were gritting their teeth, they were about to shame them seeing Aurora’s Light element but the element of darkness was just as rare as light.

Aurora was also angry hearing insults thrown at her mother.

Clang!

Their swords clashed again and again for some time, none willing to back down.

Both of them were offensive.

Freya should have been defeated by now but I could see she was fairing well against the heroine.

This shouldn’t have been possible in the novel.

Freya was actually overpowering Aurora slowly.

Aurora might have been born with huge talent but so was Freya, Freya even had the advantage of being trained by professional knights since birth while Aurora was self-taught.

Clang Clang

Pssst!

“Guh!”

Aurora received a strong kick on her stomach from Freya as she winced in pain.

She dropped to the ground clutching her stomach while taking deep breaths,

Freya being the bitch, didn’t even wait and attacked her in that state.

Another kick at her chest as Aurora was thrown backward.

She was lying on the ground trying to stand up when Freya’s boot came crashing down on her head.

Freya rubbed her black-heeled boot on Aurora’s head as she made a very arrogant and irritating smirk looking down at Aurora.

“Commoner slut, how does it feel to finally know your place? It must have been a stroke of luck that you managed to give me a tough time during selections.”

Sarcasm was dripping from her voice, and I was shaking in anger and fear.

Anger due to the tone that she often used on me and fear that Aurora actually lost to her, as I expected, I can’t trust her.

She might get strong in the future but it was not enough for me to trust her.

Freya had definitely changed and grown strong than she was supposed to be.

Tears flowed from Aurora’s eyes as she felt humiliation and defeat under Freya.

She had never been this much humiliated.

“That Freya, she is really strong huh…. And her personality is very nasty as well, a typical noble spoilt daughter but it’s my first time seeing some spoilt brat this strong, she must really train hard or is simply too talented.”

Kris said to me.

Shit! Even Kris thinks she is strong,

Today I will go to the library as soon as I get the opportunity, I need to study crests and slave seals, and possibly find a way to get free.

“All right kids, that’s it, now let’s resume class.”

Nova said in her cold tone, she didn’t care a bit about what happened.

Freya humphed and shot a glance in my direction as I didn’t meet her eyes and went back to her lackeys who praised her exaggeratedly trying to gain her favor.

Nova soon started her lesson.

What is Aura?

Aura is a natural energy present all around the world. It is an essential part of nature and those who can manipulate Aura could also affect nature itself, that is the world.
