Was it worth it?
Was it worth the extra cool vibes that you gave off?
You are exposed. You have no one to blame but yourself, foolish behaviour is not to be rewarded.
A cool display of power? Showing off after nearly being completely found out? What idiot would do such a thing? Was it to impress?
FOOL!
You wanted peace yet you approach trouble without a care in the world. You wanted to be inconspicuous but you draw so much attention to yourself. What an idiot.
"Relax, I got this covered."
———————————————-
The announcements ended after a further 10 minutes of minor speech. After Kelvin and Angelica left the stage, there was not much else to consider important. It was as if the most important part of this event had already ended. Everyone left the auditorium soon after, gossiping about what they saw during the event.
Many voice were mentioning the duel that had taken place with the rook, but none of them thought about it in too much depth. They were more interested in the way that the mid-low rank turned out to be secretly a high rank.
Vale and Luna left the auditorium along with the first wave of people, making their way to the Newspaper room as quickly as they could.
Upon entering the room, a loud rattling noise could be heard from within.
"Who is there?" Luna asked.
The room did not rattle, it became as silent as it should have been. But there still seemed to be something that was out of place in the room.
"We have company." Vale spoke as he brandished a fountain pen.
"It seems so."
A figure appeared from behind the main desk in the middle of the room, holding a metal bat.
"Hey you, I saw what you did to my younger bro. That was definitely not cool, don't you think you should apologise?" The figure asked.
"He tripped and crashed through the bathroom door." Vale replied.
"Bullshit."
"Stop this! This is the Newspaper room, get out of here!" Luna yelled at the figure.
"Shut up-"
Luna mercilessly threw a cone of lightning at the intruder, knocking him straight to the ground. As it turned out, the intruder had no power.
"DAMN YOU-"
BANG
The intruder was knocked out by another shock from Luna.
"PQ still does not determine skill. Even so, this intruder was weak." Luna calmly spoke.
"The room is charred now! How are we going to get any work done with all the paper destroyed?" Vale shouted.
"O now you care?"
Luna angrily looked to the anxious Vale as he tried to rummage through the folders of burnt paper.
"Of course! Fighting and that stuff doesn't not compare to the joys of the Newspaper!"
Luna let out a genuine smile as she watched her partner go back to normal in the face of a minor crisis.
"This is much better than talking about PQs and abilities I guess." Luna softly spoke to herself.
After 10 minutes of salvaging papers and stationary, a single school board member arrived to find a brutalised body on the floor; next to two busy newspaper writers.
"WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE!?" She asked in a frightened voice.
"He tried to ambush us as we walked in." Luna spoke.
"..."
"Okay...I will report this incident to the king and queen. Please be prepared to provide evidence-"
Vale immediately threw a CD case at the board member, which she barely catched.
"This is visual evidence that the intruder attempted to harm us." Luna said calmly.
"Okay...I will bring this guy back with me then." The board member spoke as he dragged the intruder out of the door.
Vale proceeded to pile up the remaining papers and leave the room after the board member, walking towards his dorm.
"What a train wreck. It's all because that idiot had to put so much attention on himself. If it weren't for him, everything would be fine." Vale spoke to himself.
"He has left me with few options. I hate this a lot, but exposure is not necessarily a bad thing right now. It just needs to be timed correctly."
"Welp, I guess this is the last month that I get to have peace."
"Hmmm.... that guy from just now, that intruder... he definitely had Iron Body."
As Vale continued to walk down the long hallways, a sudden bang could be heard not so far ahead of him.
BANG
"SHIT HEAD! YOU COULDN'T EVEN GET ME 50% ON THAT ASSIGNMENT!"
A muscular red haired boy pummeled a smaller white haired boy to the ground. The red haired boy then proceeded to beat the other boy until the latter was nearly unconscious.
"Hello there, What are you doing in the hallways?" Vale asked in a cold voice.
"Listen kid! My big bro's a High ranker, so walk away and don't speak a word!" The red haired boy shouted.
"So you don't have manners."
Vale walked up to the two boys, expressing a gentle but menacing smile.
"You cause trouble in the hallways and obstruct my path. Move." Vale spoke.
"Fuck off! Are you deaf? I said my brother is a-"
CRACK
Vale thrusted his right foot at the red haired boy's right arm, crippling it in a single strike.
"I have not had the best day of my life, so please don't make it worse. BY THE WAY, you won't have enough time to activate an ability, I will KILL you before that happens." Vale spoke in a deathly voice.
"And you, blue hair, you are in my way. Move."
The blue haired boy move away quickly as vale walked over the red haired boy.
CRACK
The red haired boy's left leg crack as Vale exerted huge amount of force on it.
"Bye bye."
