Chapter 35 - Saying Something?

"That bastard!" She growls out furiously as she watches him leave. 'How dare a peasant like him, mock me?' She vowed silently to herself her revenge. She clenched her fist so hard, blood threatened to flow out. "Just you wait. See what happens when you mess with the royal family."

Meanwhile, Licht was soon invited into the director's office. He walked in to see Viscar viciously pulling at his hair. Licht walked in, took a seat, and waited for Viscar to calm himself.

"Kid." He called as his face mirrored intense seriousness. His fingers were interlocked, "I told you not to cause any trouble, didn't I?"

"Yeah," he answered truthfully, crossing his arms. "You also said that the instructors will skip my examination. But, I didn't see that happen." It seemed like time had been suspended, seeing as no one said or did anything. Even Serece stood silent, confused at the director's behavior.

Viscar broke the silence and sighed, "At this rate, I'm going to go broke. Do you know how much I had to pay for medical expenses?! What did you do to him?!" Viscar asks referring to Dale.

Licht stared at the ceiling absent-mindedly, "I don't remember doing anything life-threatening. If I remember correctly, I only hit him once. He definitely had it coming, just launched at me like an animal."

Serece becomes irked at Licht's lack of respect, "You brat!" She exclaimed in fury. "Do you know who you are talking to?!"

"Serece, calm down." He ordered hastily. The young lady heard him but didn't listen. "I'm sorry sir, but this brat needs to learn respect. If he doesn't then we'll have to expel him or at least beat some sense into him."

"Serece!" Viscar roars as he slams both hands on the table. If they weren't careful, who knows what the monster watching them would do?

"Is this all? I'd rather not waste a day here." He interrupts the struggle between the two. He gives a small smile as he watches a vein pop on Miss Serece's head, "Bastard! How dare you?!" She continues to yell profanities at Licht.

"...You fucking son of a bit-" She halts as she feels a faint sting on her cheek. She rubs on her cheek with her palm and brings it down only to see blood. She slowly brings her head back up and flinches as she meets Licht's eyes. He stares her down menacingly, his eyes promising death if she continues.

"You. What were you going to say?"

Serece turns pale as she stumbles back into the wall. She coughs as she soon finds it difficult to breathe. To her left, is a dagger with a curved dark blade and the handle covered in dark blue cloth.

'How?'' she thought to herself. She didn't see him bring out any weapon and she didn't see him throw it either. Just who is this kid?

Viscar's large body blocks her from his gaze. With a determined stance and his arms spread, shielding her, "Kid, calm down. I can't help you if you kill anyone."

Licht says nothing but continues to stare at them. His bloodlust had begun leaking out, and Viscar had no idea of what to do. He prepared himself for the worst, "If that's all, can I go back to my dorm?"

Viscar held his breath as he stared wide-eyed at Licht, "Umm, sure?" He felt disturbed and thankful. He was also worried about how easily the kid's mood changed.

"I'm off then." He got up from his seat as he made his way to the door. "Shit! Wait!" Viscar calls out, "Before I forget, your uniform. It's at the corner there." He says nodding at the small rectangular box a few feet away from the door.

"Gotcha." He picks it up and walks out slamming the door behind him. Serece slumps onto the floor as soon as he leaves still shivering. She looks up and sees a vacant space where the dagger once was. She had wanted it to be a dream, but there was an apparent cut where the dagger was and a cut still bleeding on her face.

Viscar kneels as he assists her with her breathing, "You can't say I didn't warn you? That kid..." He trails off as he glances at where Licht sat just less than five minutes ago.

"Nothing I can do about it." He sighs. "Just hope that he learns to value life."

Licht ran his hand through his head, "Who says I don't value life? I just don't like them talking shit about my family."
