Chapter 51: Chapter 51
Twenty-four hours passed, which provoked rumors throughout the Academy, since Serp and his companions were found sleeping by the maids, who after trying to wake them up unsuccessfully let them sleep, but since they did not wake up, at noon their companions, noticing their absence, went to visit them and took them to the infirmary.
Professor Janeth, who was in the infirmary at the time, diagnosed them with fatigue due to overtraining and told their companions that they should not worry, that the three would wake up when their bodies recovered.

On the other hand Mart woke up with the pleasant company of Iristel next to him who was only wearing one of his shirts. Mart wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly without hurting her and smelled her pleasant aroma deeply. Iristel woke up and they began to kiss deeply, several seconds later he said to her:
-You changed me again?
-You are my husband. It is the least I can do. -Iristel said with her naughty attitude.
Mart sat on the edge of the bed and asked her what happened:
-You’ve slept almost a day, or maybe a day; you know? They took three students to the infirmary because they didn’t wake up either. -Iristel said, with a curious attitude.
As he was feeling very tired at the time, Mart had a confused memory of what had happened. He barely remembered the encounter and that the three boys walked away as he did.
"System, what happened?" asked Mart in his mind.
[Trait laziness will watch over a peaceful sleep]
[Sleeper’s Mandate: power capable of infusing sleep and fatigue into hostile beings who interrupt the host’s rest time]
[Notice: The host slept for 24 hours. 24 more hours of rest is recommended]
Mart understood immediately, and calculating that the time was just right to make it to the weekend, he stood up and said to Iristel confidently:
-I think a spell or a curse I activated came into effect on them, but demanded payment in return. That’s why I’m also exhausted.
Iristel nodded and went to bed again; Mart for his part, sat in front of his desk and wrote down everything related to the reading he had done on the book, every important point, he tried not to forget it. After that followed the notification, he lay down and hugged Iristel who laid her head on his chest and then closed her eyes to sleep again.

The weekend arrived, Mart dressed in a white long sleeve shirt, black pants, black shoes, all tailored.
-It looks like everything fits you. -Said Iristel who was only covered by a blanket while looking at Mart mischievously.
Mart remembered that when he woke up again she pounced on him, although in the end they only did it twice, because he explained that he was planning to go out.
-Come on. -He said.
-No, I’m still sweaty and you’re ready to go out. -Iristel replied with an understanding tone.
Mart walked to the door and before opening it, he said in a relaxed tone that sounded irrefutable:
-If anyone tries anything, kill him, I’ll take care of it, carry the dagger I gave you as a gift.
Iristel nodded and Mart went out.
As they arrived at the entrance, Mart saw Selis, she was wearing a casual black dress with a blue ribbon around her waist and a black hat on her head, it was quite a different style. Mart approached her, hugged her and kissed her.
-Mart, we are not going alone. -Selis said in a sweet tone.
-What do you mean? -Mart asked, looking at her serenely.
-I invited Asfil; just like that time we went out together and had fun. -Selis said.
"Wow, I guess she doesn’t trust my self-control," Mart thought wryly.
Soon after, Asfil approached wearing a black blouse and a red skirt that gave a glimpse of her beautiful legs. "Asfil is beautiful and knows what her strong point is; a fearsome woman," thought Mart.
-I hope I’m not disturbing, if so I can come back. -Asfil said calmly as usual.
-No need, let’s have fun. -Said Mart with a relaxed attitude, although as they walked along he thought, "Well, we’ll have fun unless there’s a crazy conspirator at the herbalist store I want to go to, in which case it will be a rather sinister weekend."
As they walked sometimes Selis and Asfil would walk ahead, and Mart would watch them, sometimes she couldn’t help but notice Asfil’s beautiful legs, but that didn’t seem to bother her.
[Lust trait activated]
[Temporary Attribute Charm +20]
Mart sighed, and looked around, there were students and demons of all sorts here and there. Mart kept recording the traits of the demons to himself, in his mind he thought, "why so much variety; humans aren’t much different; no offense here there are even insect men, who are demons."
As he continued walking, he couldn’t help but ask the system a question he had preferred to keep all that time; "System, will the inactive trait of my lineage change my appearance?"
[That’s right: your inactive trait will give the host the genuine appearance of a demon.]
Mart contemplated the notification for a few seconds; until Selis took his hand and with a beautiful smile said:
-Let’s go in there.
She pointed to a clothing store that was right across the street from Ms. Loretta’s clothing store. Mart had had a hard time apologizing earlier so he said to Selis in her ear:
-I’ll go, but then you’ll fulfill my whim.
She nodded and looked at him shyly, but he said:
-I want us to buy a dress for you at that store.
Selis nodded, then dragged Mart toward the store she wished to go to.
"I’m sorry Ms. Loretta; but women prefer popular clothing stores."
At the store, the two began trying on different dresses, Mart was delighted to see Selis try on a lacy white dress that had a green ribbon cinched at the waist; Asfil tried on various blouses and skirts, until she wore an outfit consisting of a black pleated skirt, white blouse and a black jacket.
"Wow, this woman looks like a model," Asfil noticed Mart’s look and immediately ordered that outfit.
Soon after they went to Mrs. Loretta’s store and she asked Mart:
-She is your other girlfriend.
"You’re mad because you saw me shopping across the street," was Mart’s first thought, he resigned himself and finally said:
-That’s right.
Mrs. Loretta did the same as before, took out the little golden box with inlaid gems that contained her cigarettes, took one and with a puff she lit an end, took a deep breath of the smoke of the cigarette, and when she exhaled it, the smoke covered Selis and disappeared.
-Ready, you know the procedure; last time it was ten dresses, right.
"It’s a joke," thought Mart, who after paying a deposit of 100 gold coins for ten dresses went with Selis and Asfil to a restaurant.
