Chapter 7 - Suspicion? Tension? Termination?

"Wow Aalto this place I huge." I say looking up at the multiple floors. Aalto shrugs his shoulders "Meh it looks bigger inside" he says as he starts walking off. Well I guess he like rich things,noted. We walk in the gate side by side and walk past some planted trees and past a fountain to get inside. "What the hell. The funds here must be insane" Aalto chuckles and we keep walking. He shows me the beautiful garden as we have to walk through it to get to the dorms.

As we follow up on the dorms Aalto is greeted by someone. "Aalto you were gone all night where were you" he says "sorry counselor saki" Aalto bows. The counselor stand high "I didn't ask for apologies I asked for an explanation" he says raising his voice louder and louder. "Well-" I cut Aalto off "sorry counselor Aalto was helping me with a gang of thieves" The counselor snaps his head in my direction. "And who exactly are you" he says with a menacing voice. "My name is gale I come from a small village on a mountain. Yesterday I was traveling to this town and a gang of thieves tried to take my luggage. Thankfully Aalto was out picking flowers or else I would've been done for" I laugh nervously towards the end hoping he would buy my story. "alright then don't stay here too long. You might regret it" he says slightly squinting his eyes and locking the onto me.

As we walk into Aaltos dorm room Something didn't feel right to me. Even though I can read auras his was different "he definitely has some dirty secrets" I think to myself. "Well this is my dorm guessing you'll be here a while, make yourself comfy" he say with his hand in the air. I walk straight a head from the door past the kitchen to sit on his sofa "hey Aalto doesn't counselor saki seem weird to you?" Aalto walks to me and sits next to me "well he is always focused on me and watches my every move." I put my hand on my chin and begin to think. "But every time I question him about It he says it's because he cares for me"

I let out smooth "hmmm" "Aalto is it possible that counselor saki knows about your abilities?" Aalto panics "what there's now way he could know!!!" I clap my hands together to break the mood "ALRIGHT why don't we have some food, we have yet to eat" Aalto quickly forgets all about our conversation and grabs some snacks out of the grocery bag. "Then after this I can show you around" "sounds good to me"

We soon finish eating and later Aalto goes on to showing me the academy

"What did you think, pretty neat right" he says smiling bright "yeah it so massive I don't know how you remember your way around" I say out of breath sweating. "Oh I didn't, I just wandered and listed what I thought they were". That would explain why he listed library three times.

As we head back to his room I spot a suspicious looking door which was red and had dragon prints on it. Much like Aaltos jacket. "Aalto what's that door for" I say pointing to it "oh that door, no one actually knows. Some just speculate it's just a meeting place for education advisors." I stare deeper into the door. Now that I realize it the door has some cracks in it and looks pretty fragile. We continue moving back to the dorms "does big bro gale have some intention of seeing what behind that door" he says tilting his head towards me "more less the person using it" I say smirking

By the time we get back to the dorms it was already nightfall. The stars were up and you could already tell Aalto was ready to get some rest. "Alright big bro gale I'm pooped I'll take my leave first" Aalto walks down the hall and into his room. "Goodnight Aalto, hello sneaky secrets" I say quietly while leaving Aaltos room

I walk back through the academy and find myself back at the strange door. "Alright let's break it" I think to myself "but if I do that it'd be obvious someone broke in, well let's see if this works" I place my hand over the key hole and try to imagine what the key should be like. I feel the wind out lining the key hole. *click* *click* "BAM,we're in" I say pushing open the door.

As I'm walking in the floor creeks with each Step. The room was full of art, old books, desks and chairs which were all covered by dusty cloths. "This place is pretty ancient huh?" I lift up all the cloths to get a good look at everything. I ravenge threw every desk and found nothing until I found a note in the last desk. "Well let's have at it". I open the note and it reads:

"'lord saki,

A wind user got in the way of the termination of the water user. The wind user seems to be skilled and already knows a number of techniques he should not be taken lightly. Haru is severely damaged as well am I.

From haru and amaru'"

Shortly after I finish reading the note the sound of something knocking over filled the quiet room. "Shit" I stuff the note in my back pocket and run outside the room and out into the open. A person descends down from nowhere "give the paper back" he says sticking his hand out. "Sorry but this paper is quite important to me" "then I'll just have to take it by force".

I couldn't see it but a gust of wind which I can only imagine was a blade flew passed my face. I take a couple steps back to prepare for an attack. "You are out of your league child" "what are you my ex" another blade of wind rushes toward me except this time I can't dodge. In a response I launch myself backwards on pace with the blade. I stick out my arms and clap my hands together and create a massive rush of wind to kick up dust which I used to get away.

I start running towards the dorm where I know I'll be safe. I arrive at Aaltos dorm room and slam the door shut. "Holy shit that dude has to be a phsyco" I hear foot steps coming from the hall way and get ready to attack. "Big bro gale what are you doing up so late and why are you so dusty" Aalto says rubbing his eyes "oh thank god it's just you" I say letting out a huge breath.
