Chapter 50 - Fellow Citizen

Licht sighed as he looked down at the students. They were less than before; surely that wasn't good. "Movement Magic: [Teleport]." He mumbles tiredly to himself.

He reappears in a fairly empty hallway; with kids of different ages and sizes. He walked down the hall; his ears picking on every movement around him. The sound of his boots slacking. The whispers directed towards him; "Is that the noble from the duel that day?"

"Doesn't he look like an ikemen delinquent?" A random girl squealed.

Licht stops in his steps and whirls around to meet the source of the voice.

'What did she just say?' Licht thought to himself; she definitely said 'ikemen' right? It can't be a coincidence. He couldn't ignore this; it was way out of the continental language scheme after all.

He looked the girl up and down; she looked ordinary. No way someone like her knew about Earth. But...just to be sure...

"U-um..." Licht snapped out from his trance. He realized he had spent too much time staring at her. He gave her one more blank look and continued his journey to class. It was silent, but his mind was a jumble of words.

There was indeed nothing special about the girl from before; nothing even noteworthy on her status. She wasn't dressed like a noble either, so she has no power of some sort. So, it's safe to say...

'No, her friend beside her had perfectly understood what she had said. Even Roslyn and Leonhard were aware of the word 'tsundere'. Therefore, it's safe to say that a fair amount of people know this word, maybe even more than I'm imagining.'

Licht ran his hand through his hair, "Someone with... influential power..." He murmured to himself. 'Yes. Someone with a lot of influence over the people; maybe a noble... or even the king himself.'

Licht sneered to himself as his hands lay on the doorknob, "How lovely," He says quietly with a sarcastic tone. "A fellow citizen of Japan."

Licht was in a bad mood. You would expect anyone to be happy; meeting someone from their original world, but Licht wanted none of that. He had wanted to FORGET about Earth in general.

Sooner or later, he would be called up by some troublesome person who will claim that they are brothers of the same land or whatever...

Licht COULD lay low, but he didn't want some damn extra indirectly influencing his decisions. Just the thought of that irritated him.

And it would get messy if that particular person was in the royal family or part of some high noble family; that way he would be against a whole fucking kingdom if he was to refuse their 'kindness'.

Both Matt and Alice wondered what was wrong with Licht; he was in class 'physically', but you could tell his mind was somewhere else.

"What's with him?" Alice asked in curiosity. Matt shrugged, "I have no idea. I think we both can agree when I say that no one ever knows what he is thinking."

A single bulb flickers to light, presenting a man bound to a chair. His features were average someone you could see four times if you walked a distance of ten meters. He struggled around, trying to get his hand bound behind him free. He couldn't move his legs either, they were bound to separate legs of the chair.

Also, he was blindfolded, but he could tell the place was fairly lit through the light cloth.

He broke out in a sweat as his breath quickens. "Help! Someone please! Help, please! Please help me!" He yelled continuously. A loud band resonated and silenced him. A soft humming was heard soon after as well as the clacking of heels.

"H-hello?" The man called out hesitantly, "Can you please help this old man? I-I can pay-"

An eerie giggle, "Oh silly! That's not why I'm here..." She trails off, her sultry voice echoing in the room. The clacking sounds closer and she takes off the man's blindfold. He blinks expecting the harsh light, but surprisingly, his eyes adjusted quickly.

In front of him was an angel. One with golden locks and piercing red eyes; her body like that of a goddess. One with a smile that exudes innocence. If he hadn't already had a wife, he might have devoted his life for the sake of her happiness; for the sake of seeing that smile.

Remembering his situation once again, he gives a nervous smile as he shook his hands around. "U-um thank you. The binds too if you please..."

She giggles again; though this angelic giggle becomes cackling laughter fille with hysteretic intent. In short, she had crazy eyes.

Following along, still in confusion, the man laughed along with her quietly. He didn't know what was funny but he felt like his life depended on it.

Suddenly she stopped and sighed, "Don't worry mister, it's not your fault, neither are you special. It's just because they don't feed me enough; that damned school and their bland meals!" She stomped her heeled foot and the ground cracks a little.

The man's eyes widen; such superhuman strength! Can this lady be considered human?! What was she?!

"Don't they know I need some blood once in a while," She whined as she kicked up some dust with her foot like a child.

Was she bipolar? But still, what did she mean by blood?

"B- blood?! W- what do you mean?!"

She ignored him; it was like he never spoke at all. "But don't worry, I'll make sure I don't waste a single drop! I'll savor it…... if it's good that is."

She crept closer to him; her nails elongating, ready for her prey. "Now then, thank you for the meal!"
