Chapter 12:The Secret Princess of Flame Dormitory Appears!
Scene: Solstice Academy – Flame Dormitory
The Flame Dorm was infamous for training the most aggressive, prideful, and overpowered students. It was basically a volcano with homework. Zephyr was asked (read: forced) to visit and “advise” the next top-ranking student after Althea's... incident.
That student? Princess Seraphina Ignis Von Reflare, second daughter of the Fire Kingdom.
Scene: Training Grounds
As Zephyr approached the arena, a flaming sword came flying at his head. He dodged with a casual lean, and the sword embedded itself into a marble column behind him.
A voice rang out from the flame-drenched platform:
“I won’t accept a janitor as my instructor!”
A girl with blazing red hair, twin braids, and eyes like molten gold stood proudly in a training outfit that looked 70% battle armor, 30% fashion show.
Zephyr dusted off his coat.
“Well, I didn’t accept this job either.”
The dorm gasped. No one had ever talked back to Seraphina the Incinerator.
She stomped toward him, sword in hand, flames circling her feet.
“Fight me. Win, and I’ll listen to your lectures.”
“Can’t I just give you homework?”
“FIGHT ME!!”
Scene: Duel Begins
The duel was watched by the entire dorm. Seraphina’s fire attacks lit up the sky like fireworks.
Zephyr, still wielding his enchanted mop, gracefully dodged every swing — sipping juice from a floating crystal cup someone offered mid-fight.
She hurled a firestorm. He countered with a mop twirl.
The final blow?
She went for a flaming thrust — and tripped.
Zephyr instinctively caught her… and fell backward. She landed squarely on his chest. Her hair sizzled softly against his coat.
Silence.
Then… the girls watching exploded into screams.
“She fell for him!!” “That’s three dorm heads now!” “We’re witnessing a harem in real time!”
Seraphina stared at Zephyr’s face — inches away. Her cheeks turned bright red.
“Th-th-this doesn’t mean I like you!”
Zephyr:
“It kinda seems like it does.”
Later That Evening – Flame Dorm Lounge
Seraphina sat on a velvet couch, her face still pink.
“I... I’ve never lost to anyone before.”
Zephyr poured tea beside her.
“First time for everything.”
She looked up.
“I meant emotionally.”
Zephyr blinked. Then slowly realized—
She was joining the others.
Final Panel: Dorm Leaders' Group Chat (Magic Crystal Version)
Arwen: “She confessed?”
Selena: “Not directly.”
Drakynia: “I have my war axe ready.”
Althea: “WHY ARE YOU ALL AHEAD OF ME?!”
Rosalia: “I’m just here for his laundry routine tbh.”
