Chapter 3 - Getting Challenged

Most of the students are listening in class. Some students are in the verge of sleeping, some are already asleep. Some are not paying attention to the class at all, and some are bored as hell.

*School Lunch Alarm*

All of the students who have heard this sound are all happy. Some students started cleaning their desk and taking their lunch boxes.

"Okay bye class!. See you on the next time" the teacher said.

"Bye teacher! " the students enthusiastically answered. She already left the classroom and already at the hallway when someone called her from behind.

"Hiratsuki sensei" the boy said.

"Hmm?" Hiratsuki said as he turn around. Hiratsuki was quite a beautiful woman. Messy hair, yummy thighs, big melons and butts but he looks very violent making her single till now. "Ohh Jake Mamusog what do you want?"

"Is it real that I can challenge King for the chair he is sitting?" Jake asked which Hiratsuki sighed.

"You didn't read the school rules didn't you?" She asked.

"No way!! Only weak read those!! We strong ones don't need rules for we strong can do what we want since we got the power to do so" Jake said. Hiratsuki twitced her lips after hearing Jake's words.

"Try saying that infront of the principal let's see what you say" She said shutting up the arrogant kid. " Well as long as both sides agree to the terms of the duel, you can do anything you want. Just don't make problems for me and go fight in the arena not here." She said.

"Okay Sensei" Jake said as he smirked like a maniac.

"As long as you understand. Now go eat lunch now, you only have an 2 hours to relax before the afternoon class starts." She said.

"Okay Sensei!" Jake bowed and go back his classroom still smirking like a maniac.

============

On the Classroom.....

King was packing all of his stuff to go in his secret spot where he always eat ALONE. He was about to leave when Diana called him out.

"King, where are you going?" She asked.

"Ahmm.." King think for an answer quickly. " In the Ca - Cafeteria!!" He said.

"You are?" She said. "Then can I go with you? I don't really know this place quite well since I'm new here. Can you accompany me around? I might get lost" She asked. King think for a while and decided to accompany her. He think that he should stop being a loner and make friends before he goes insane because of loneliness.

"Su-" someone cut him off when he was about to give an answer.

"Diana, you shouldn't waste your time with this trash. His the trashiest trash in this school and probably in the whole world. You should go with someone who is strong and will make your time worth. Someone like me." the boy said.

Diana turned around "Ahmm.. Excuse me.. Who are you?" She asked.

"ohh my bad. My name is Karl Ibañez popularly known as the "Stealth Archer". Rank 27th in this school. Pleased to talk to you" Karl said as he bowed. " If you want Diana, I can tour you around the school. Don't go with this trash. Right trash?" Karl said as he look toward King who looks troubled. Diana who saw this taken an action.

"Ahmm.. I'd prefer going with King. I don't really like arrogant people like you who boast their rank or whatever around. I don't care what rank you are nor what people call you." She said while maintaining her warm smile. She then quickly grabbed King's hand dragging him toward the hallway which left Karl dumbfounded. Who would ever though this trash could hold Diana's soft arm (He assumed it's soft). He get more anger and cursed King. " One day you'll definitely pay" Karl said. On the other hand, Diana have been dragging King to the hallway and many people seen them hold hands. They started to gossip again.

"Hey this is embarrassing. Don't drag me around." He said as he hold Diana's wrist. She felt his grip and how strong it was. 'Strong' Diana think as he feel how he hold his wrist just like that. King didn't seem to notice this because of the embarrassment he is feeling.

"Don't drag me around Diane... I mean DIANA!!" King said.

"That's the second time you call me with that. Is that someone special to you?" She asked as she stopped dragging him and look at his hand whose still holding her wrist.

"No - Nothing!! It's nothing. I just pronounced your name incorrectly" He answered while looking away. Diana stared at King for a while then said "So can you let go of my wrist now?" She asked.

"I - I am sorry" he said as he bowed numerous times. She then look at him and told him they should head to the cafeteria now. He nodded and they go to their way to cafeteria. Little did King know that this girl already memorize the school. She just wanted to ask King about this feeling of familiarity that she is experiencing toward him. As an assassin, she's already fully aware of the place that she is approaching to complete the mission perfectly. She feels bad for lying but it's the only way she can think about. She could sneak around following him but that would look like she is a stalker so she decided to take the direct contact method.

She also remember how King hold her wrist like that. 'Interesting' she said to herself

==============

In the Cafeteria

As usual this place is flooded with students every lunch. Many people are busy talking to each other while on lines, some already in table and started eating while talking to their table mates. King don't really like going in crowded places since every time people see him. They would always start to gossip about him and make him feel uncomfortable. So he decided to not go here and eat alone in his secret place. He quite regretted accompanying her. Diana who have seen this asked him if his okay. He nodded but for her, he doesn't look okay.

"You don't need to force yourself if you don't want to go in crowd places" Diana felt guilty dragging him here.

"N - No it's fine. I decided to not become a loner anymore. I'm going to take the first step now" He said. She looked at him in a Interesting manner.

"C - Come on let's take a seat" King said as he hurriedly go to an empty table. Diana who still looking at him, followed him on the way to the table. After they settled in the empty table, many people started gossiping about them. Some gaze at King like they want to kill him and some look at Diana with admiration.

"That's Diana from the Assassin clan right? I heard rumors that she can kill someone with a flick of a finger" The girl from the neighboring table said. They continued gossiping but King couldn't stop them from doing it. King just sigh and takes out his lunch box, Diana did the same.

"Sorry for dragging you to this mess. You shouldn't have hang out with me, they'll start making exaggerated stuffs about you" King genuinely felt bad for dragging her to his mess.

"No it's fine. I should be the one saying sorry for dragging you in this place" She also feel sorry.

"Well it's my choice anyway. Let's just ignore them and eat so we can get out of here fast" He started doubting the whole 'I don't want to be a loner' thing and might just give up. With this kind of reputation, no one would ever want to be friend with him. They started eating their lunch. King felt awkward since he doesn't know how to start a conversation. All he did was sit there and eat. Diana broke the awkwardness between them.

"So I've been meaning to ask. Have we meet before?" Diana asked. This question startled King. He didn't expect her to ask this question, he just sit there thinking for an answer but Diana asked again. " You call me Diane earlier twice. Does your ex girlfriend looks like me?" She asked. This time, King almost choked from the food he is eating. ' How did he even think of that reason' he said to himself.

"N - No. I already told you I just mispronounced your name.. Twice" He said and continued eating.

"Diane and Diana are far from each other though. Are you really that bad to make the same mistake? Are you an idiot?" She said while smiling. King who heard what she said look at her and saw her smiling face. 'She's clearly teasing me' he said to himself.

"Come on talk. You'll never get friends if you only sit there" She said. When King was about to say something, students in the cafeteria started to get noisy when someone came in. It gotten their attention and looked at the ruckus.

"Kyaa~ Jake looks handsome as usual" The girl from the neighboring table said.

"If my grade is just good, I would always see him all day." Another girl from the same table said. The one who entered was Jake Mamusog. Handsome and a strong young man who is respected for his power. He keeps walking towards King's table until he reached it. When his there, he quickly yelled: "King! I Challenge you to a Duel!! Whoever wins have the right to sit beside Diana. Although I will win 100%, I'll give you a chance to fight and embarrass yourself infront of her and to everyone at school!!."

He froze for a bit and then for a moment he just yelled: "Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!!?"

And there his life became miserable :D.
