Archer did so, and to his amazement, a faint but tangible barrier surrounded him. He could feel the energy humming within it.

Jade clapped her hands. "Excellent! With practice, you'll strengthen your control and manifest even more complex forms. Remember, Archer, your Aura is an extension of your inner self, a reflection of your strength and willpower."

Archer grinned. "Thank you, Jade. I'll keep practicing."

She taught him a little longer before he left the class and went to find the girls. When he left the college building, he saw three guys trying to talk to them. But they ignored them as Lioran tried to tell the boys to go away.

When Archer saw this, his temper erupted, and he cast Blink and reappeared behind the three. As he did that, he heard the guy in the middle say something to Leira. ''Why are you marrying some random boy who was kicked out of the Ashguard family?''

The boy's lackeys nodded their heads, but Leira and Ella spotted him behind them, and they started giggling with the other girls. Lioran and Nala exchanged disapproving glances as Archer seized the two boys on either side by their neck, delivering a swift tail slap to the boy in the middle's head.

The leader dropped to the floor in pain. He didn't know what happened, but soon, a boot stepped on his head, pushing it against the ground. ''Why are you trying to court my women? Are you a foolish human? Do you know I'd wipe out your families if I weren't so lazy?''

Archer slammed the two lackey's heads together, knocking them out cold before throwing them off to the side. He leaned down to pick up the confused boy and brought him close to his face.

''If I ever see you look in their direction again, I will kill you and all your family. Oh, before you think I'd be punished, not even the emperor has that privilege.'' He warned the boy with a vicious tone.

He took the boy's storage ring before throwing him onto the other two stupid humans as he spoke. ''Now fuck off and get out of my sight before I change my mind.''

The noble boy scrambled to his feet and ran off, leaving his two friends behind, causing Archer to chuckle. When he turned around, everyone looked at him with different expressions.

All the girls apart from Leira looked at him like cats in heat, and Lioran started laughing. Even Nala gave him the same look his girls were, causing him to chuckle before heading to the city.

All while this was happening, Llyniel stood close to Archer, still holding his sleeve. The girls looked at her but left her alone as she seemed to be really shy. They tried conversing with the elf, but she would whisper her replies.

Archer had no problem talking to her and seemed to enjoy her company. Ella saw that he didn't remove her hold on his sleeve, that was when Sera being the sneaky dragon she was grabbed his left arm and held it.

Before they could exit, four people stopped them. When Lioran saw this, he introduced the new people that he was with. ''Archer, this is Alaric Oakwood, Llyniel's big brother.''

The girl smiled at the brown-haired elf boy staring at her, then turned to Archer and spoke. ''I've heard much about you. Can I talk to you alone for a minute?''

He looked at the boy and nodded before telling Llyniel to wait a second, which caused her to give him a nervous nod. Archer walked over to Alaric, who held his hand while speaking. ''Thank you for not pushing her away. She has trouble making friends and is a very shy girl, but if she is welcomed in your group, would you look after her, please?''

When Archer heard Alaric, he shook his hand but nodded before answering. ''Yeah I will, she is adorable but I believe there's more to her than just that.''

Alaric smiled when he heard his answer. ''That's good. Now, let me introduce you to the other three.

He led Archer over to his group as he started speaking. ''The ginger boy is Cian Avaloch. I believe his sister Maeve is in your class.''

Cian nodded his head before Alaric moved on. ''This girl is Emera Blackwater. Her family owns the largest merchant company in Starfall.''

Archer looked at the girl who gave him a small wave with a smile and thought she was average in all aspects, with brown hair and blue eyes. Her hair was long and reached down to her waist.

Alaric turned to the last boy and introduced him. ''This is Calder Vitalis. He is the third prince of the Vitalis Kingdom in the south.'' The boy just stared at him before giving him a small nod, but Archer stared at him and thought something was off with him.

He put that aside and said hello to the four before leaving with the girls and Lioran's group. Ella came up from behind and suggested. ''Why don't we get something to eat and go to one of the city's parks?''

Archer agreed, and the large group left the college and went to the city when they entered Starfall, Lioran and his two girls left as they had stuff to buy for class. Nala, Halime, and Llyniel didn't know what to do, but the girls started talking to the three as they walked up to a stall.

He saw that it sold loads of skewers and bought many of them before buying some drinks for the group. Archer stored them in his Item Box. As he was doing that, Nala approached him and asked a question. ''Why do you buy so much food, Archie?''

When he heard her call him, he looked at her strangely before chuckling. ''I love eating.''

After answering, he handed her one of the meat skewers, which she took and started eating. Before they could walk to the closest park, Hemera approached him.

Archer smiled when he saw her, but she asked him a question. ''Can we visit a few shops? Hecate needs some ingredients, and I want to buy some new books.''

''We also need to buy some more clothes and sandals.''

That's when the two heard a voice coming from behind them. They turned around and saw Nefertiti standing there with a smile as she looked at Archer.

He looked at all the girls who appeared behind them and spoke. ''Well, does anyone else want to go shopping?''

They all nodded, and Archer accompanied them to all the shops they wanted to go to. The girl went to clothes shops and bought dresses, accessories, and jewelry. Of course, he paid for it all for them, to the shock of Halime, Nala, and Llyniel, who tried to refuse but forced the matter.

So they just gave him and let him spoil them also, which pissed off Nefertiti but with some pampering and promised to take her on a date for just them two. His sweet words and pampering won the pink-haired girl over. Nefertiti left him and went back to shopping.

Archer was sitting in a cafe across the road from a few shops the girls were in, and the server walked up to him and spoke. ''Can we get anything for you, young master?''

He looked at the young man and asked. ''Do you sell any bread, pastries, or anything sweet?''

The server nodded with a smile and told him that they had loads of bread and pastries for sale, so Archer ordered three of everything, shocking the young man. But he nodded his head and rushed inside to prepare his food.

He continued drinking his tea when Leira approached him with Nala. ''Arch. We need more coins, and Ella told us to tell you we are checking out more shops, so she hoped it was okay with you.''

He smiled as he took out another pouch and gave it to the cat girl, who rushed back to the shops. That was when Archer spotted two figures flying high above the street thanks to his dragon eyes.

The man smiled and waved at him, causing Archer to mumble to himself, ''Thorin.''

Archer shook his head and invited Nala to join him. ''Sit down. I have some food coming, and you can share it with me.''

Nala laughed as she sat down. ''Yeah, okay, I could do with some. I'm starving.''

She looked around before relaxing into her seat as her lion tail swayed behind her as she looked at him. ''I can smell your scent on all the girls except your new school friends and Leira. Haven't you mated with her yet?''
