Getting spoiled in a woman dominating world-Chapter 442: Esmery’s call

Brandon and Naevora were walking through the Academy campus towards the headmistress’s office.

Seeing her silently walking beside him, he asked "Are you mad?"

She kicked him in the leg, making him stumble a step "Obviously I am."

Brandon winced, more for show than actual pain and stepped closer, gently patting her ass. "What should I do so you would forgive me?"

She gave him a blank stare and shook her head helplessly "You don’t look guilty at all."

"And no matter what, you won’t let go of your perverted tendencies anyway... Haaa, just forget it."

He just chuckled while she let out a soft sigh "Why did the headmistress call you?"

Shaking his head, he replied "I don’t know. She just asked me to go and see her in her room"

---

Esmery who was sitting on her desk, glanced up and looked at Brandon and Naevora who just entered her room.

She smiled and turned her attention back to the laptop in front of her, fingers tapping lightly on the trackpad.

Brandon noticed that today Esmery’s clothes are a bit too revealing that average days showing ample cleavage ’Woah.’

She wore a fitted black blazer today, but the top two buttons of her white blouse were left undone, revealing a generous amount of cleavage framed by black lace.

Noticing his reaction, Naevora leaned down and whispered "Don’t ogle at her."

Brandon smiled dryly and scratched his neck. "Alright."

Both of them sat in front of the desk, and Brandon asked "What’s the matter, Miss Esmery?"

With a nod, Esmery turned the laptop to show him and played a video.

The video was raw footage from one of the arena’s cameras during the current tournament match.

The fighters were blurred in the background, but the focus was on a section of the audience near the mid-tier seats.

Selena stood there, amidst the audience watching the match in silence.

But suddenly, her body jerked like a puppet with cut strings.

Black mist erupted from her shoulders, her chest, and her mouth.

"AHHHHHHH!" She screamed, her hands clawing at her throat as the mist poured out faster, spreading around her.

The people around her scrambled in panic, and the chairs toppled as the students tried to get some distance from her.

Selena dropped to her knees, and her back arched, mist exploding outward in violent bursts.

Her eyes rolled back as her whole body trembled.

Teachers quickly rushed in and surrounded her, trying to calm the situation.

One teacher placed both hands on Selena’s temples, chanting rapidly as golden light poured from her palms.

Selena’s screams turned guttural, and then she fell silent.

The mist slowed, coiling back into her body, and she slumped forward.

The teachers caught her before she hit the ground.

The video ended, frozen on the image of Selena being carried away.

Esmery closed the laptop with a soft click.

Silence filled the office.

Looking at Brandon, she spoke "This happened just a few minutes earlier, and since you were investigating about Selena, I thought I should let you know about this."

"Do you have any idea what’s happening to her?"

Brandon just stared at the image of Selena, and his gaze narrowed ’So it wasn’t my imagination; the energy I felt from Azyrth and Selena on that day in the tournament was the same.’

With a confused frown, he shook his head "This... Where is she now?"

Letting out a sigh, Esmery replied "We’ve contained Selena in the isolation ward. If you want, you can see her now."

Naevora shifted slightly, glancing between Brandon and Esmery. Her hand rested lightly on his knee, brushing her thumb in a small circle.

Brandon stared at the laptop for several seconds and nodded "Yeah. I want to see her."

Esmery stood up without hesitation.

"Then follow me."

She led them out of the office, down a quiet side corridor reserved for faculty.

Two teachers snapped to attention as they passed, nodding respectfully to Esmery and giving Brandon and Naevora brief, curious glances.

They reached a sealed door marked Isolation Ward – Level 3.

Esmery placed her palm on the scanner, and the door hissed open.

Inside, there was a short antechamber, a secondary airlock door ahead, and a large observation window to the left.

Through the glass, Brandon saw Selena lying on a narrow medical bed in the center of the isolation chamber.

She was restrained with soft cuffs at wrists and ankles, ether-suppression bands glowing around her forearms and neck.

Faint traces of black residue still clung to the corners of her mouth and under her eyelids.

Two healers in white coats stood nearby, with one adjusting an IV drip and the other monitoring a floating holographic display of her vitals.

Brandon stepped closer to the glass, staring at Selena’s face.

’Is she a backup vessel for Azyrth to manifest?... Or maybe her Herald in this world?’

His gaze narrowed further ’Anyway, I need to alert Elize and Charlotte.’

Turning to Esmery, Brandon spoke "After closer inspection, I am sure I can treat this."

"I mean, there are folks in Rheanne Church that specialize in this kind of thing. Therefore, I believe it would be best to put her under Church’s supervision."

If Selena stays under the Academy’s eyes, he can’t really investigate her, so it’s better to bring her under his custody.

But Esmery frowned in suspicion "Brandon..."

With a gentle wave of his hand, he smiled "You can be reassured, Miss Esmery. She will be safe."

"When I fought with Selena in the tournament, I felt this ’malicious’ energy from her, but at that time, I was not very sure."

"That’s the reason I asked you to look into her."

"Now that I have confirmed that it is indeed that ’malicious’ energy. It’s better to transfer her under the Church’s supervision, because there are people who have dealt with this before."

Esmery looked at him for a long moment and exhaled "The Church’s involvement would mean handing her over to you," she said quietly.

"Officially. And that... complicates things. The academy has protocols. If something happens to her under Church custody-"

"Nothing will happen to her," Brandon cut in. "I give you my word."

Esmery’s gaze softened slightly "You’re asking me to trust you with a student’s life."

She turned her gaze to look at Selena for a moment and let out a soft sigh "...Alright. I will go and prepare the documents."

Brandon nodded his head "That will be helpful."

He turned to look at Naevora, who was silent the entire time "Shall we leave?"

She gave a faint nod "Mhm."
