Three days before the anniversary event.
I managed to explain that I just have a good mana control since I don't have much to begin with. I Almost got fucked over because someone mentioned "doesn't your Unique distorts space?" I almost went ahead and bury that guy.
They did a test and It seems I was telling the truth. That incident actually got a few eyes on me. first of all Adrian is now looking at my way. Once I was walking the opposite direction he is walking to and under his breath he mumbled "If you're a bit older..maybe". Not going to lie what does he mean by that?
I didn't just trained though. I also tried to asked Seishi what was the Student council was like and he just described it as a "Fanatic". Do they act like a cult? what's more when I actually went to ask the other seniors they said that there are not much to be told about them, they're just genuine about maintaining the student council so much they're like as Seishi said, a Fanatic.
This time I followed Adrian to look if he has suspicious colleagues. We're walking inside the left wing first floor. he's walking down the end of the hall, this part isn't used a lot since Magical science/ Magic study was moved in the right wing.
"you know it's quite obvious now isn't? even if I didn't turn around in the end of the hall it's just you and me"
Yeah true this one is intentional, He looks at me with that eyes that seems to be very hostile. I started writing on my notebook and got close to him this one with a reasonable excuse
'why did you want to recruit my sister'
"recruit? not just recruit- I, I seemed to lose my cool. well you'll know three days later"
His eyes seems like a beast ready to get released at a moment notice. right now he's visually holding back. so I guess you're thinking of me as a literal child well that just makes me in a more advantageous position. I left him Alone at that, I don't know what kind of danger awaits me there.
Instead I went back to my room at the dorms. I need to know more. I have no actual progress this past few days I just learned a few things about my magic!, this is Honestly frustrating I can only assume. Anyways I'll make sure that I win the superhuman pill. but is that really it?
argh! Im just going to set off some steam. getting out my room Aggressively I scanned the living room. targets on site Cecile is the only there while Desmond just went inside his room. Cecile it is
I tapped Cecile's shoulder so I can ask out to play with in the arcade she refused at first but then I mentioned about ordering the Burger in a diner that she has been eyeing for.
———————
We were walking back and the sun is setting down, I had to wait for a while since Cecile actually took advantage of me being the one to pay and ordered the Jumbo deluxe in which is actually a challenge inside the Diner. She lost and I have to pay. we have to wait for a while so her stomach to settle down
I laughed at her situation honestly
"ugh.. I should've given you the fries"
I want to make her situation worse by making a joke but I guess her stomach is already that full. While walking back the Alley suddenly went very silent. I swear there were several people here earlier
"So. this one the guy you've been annoyed at all this time?"
a deep voice covered that alley. I noticed that there are two people in the back and there are two people in front of us. we're trapped
"Excuse us, we're going that way"
Cecile!- she's shaking. she know what kind of situation we are in
in front of us is a guy with Modest looks, tinted glasses too. black hair, lips and nails
"oh don't worry about my appearance, even though I look like this I'm a shape shifter. an endangered species"
"so.. can we move now?"
Cecile really trying not to make this situation worse, she can't fight in a situation since her stomach is about to burst.
"oh I'm afraid I can't let that happen. you know There's a lot of species of inhuman that looks very similar to humans"
"what are you talking about?" Cecile replied with her voice starting to shake
"oh its just... a certain burned flesh was very helpful on finding a few things we want"
'!!'
Shit don't fucking tell me with that charred flesh that Adrian inflicted on me they did a DNA test, but why? who the hell are this people. considering that they got my flesh they're people inside the academy too?
"you might be wondering the reason. well Isn't the Ferdell family is such a goldmine?"
As soon that I sensed hostility I covered myself and Cecile with Void. nothing can come here unless I want to and nothing can leave here unless I wanted to.
"Ah yes. how long can you hide there? I heard your mana control is good too"
tsk. I need help But as soon that I got my phone it started to hang. what is happening. Cecile's phone too. She's panicking, I'm having a hard time to stay focused. against this people that are obviously way stronger than us there are four of them I can't call anyone I know it's must be the other party's Unique.
They know that I'm a hollow. this species anatomy is very similar to humans. the blood is Flexible so their blood sell well and of course their bone's almost indestructible if an average human tried to break it it wont leave a scratch. They want me now, And they're aggressive about it.
"How long can you last there Boy!"
no one will help us here except us. so I inverted Void and swallowed inside instead. while we're at it. I hold to Cecile's hand for dear life and ran. Void has a range of 5 meters from the user so after we run that distance it will disappear. the Alley we are in is a shortcut instead of walking 2 blocks to the Arcade we can just do one and we're good to go.
we still have to run thru the whole block before going Right to the academy's street. It was 5 meters away now from the suspicious group, They're free and we're running. I passed my phone to Cecile which I called Snow with.
Cecile seems to know what to do with it and decided to do the most rational thing
"Sis Snow! help us!"
"hm? what's the matter? ussually we do vi-"
"We're being chased by four people and they want Haru! we are Sesami street please come here!"
the called ended that time and it seems we're about to get some backup. the whole block is Silent really. there's something wrong here and before I knew it. Cecile dropped and my phone went flying off her hands. she was writhing in pain. her calves have darts in it, in which Blue veins are originating
"agh!!-"
I can't leave her here
"Oh boy don't even think of running. you're in our Domain now"
I didn't listen and just covered me and Cecile with Void. my phone is out my reach. shit!
