Chereads / Anomalous : The Chevaliers of Rath / Chapter 14 - Chapter 14

Chapter 14 - Chapter 14

They went to the Chevalier dorm's break room, and Keeye sat down and told Viertel "Show me the cold flame again." Viertel set his finger ablaze there was a white fireball on his finger with some sort of black colored aura around it, exactly like when he first showed it, Keeye was impressed where could his power draw from, first the mystery of him not receiving a Dyosium weapon, then receiving a legendary Deonite one, now two different flames as initial powers, He looked at Viertel with soul piercing eyes as Keeye's long black hair contrasted his brown eyes being hit by the sun, Keeye said "Viertel your two flames are constantly fighting for dominance, they aren't sentient however their powers constantly collide, this means you will die, if you do not tame or merge your flames."

Viertel was in shock but calmed himself almost instantaneously and responded "How do I merge them?"

Keeye smiled and replied while crossing his legs "Why are you here? Why do you go on through life when it's easy to give up? Why did you go to school here? And most importantly What is your end goal?"

Viertel was in shock he pondered over and over again why does he go through all this trouble?

What does he want exactly?

Viertel kept thinking but then, it hit him the children's smile the chevalier's thoughtfulness all this time he thought he was doing this all for them, but it wasn't.

Viertel did this mostly because he didn't want himself to feel so weak again, nor did he want to be at the bottom of the chain anymore, he wanted to be at the top, he knew it was selfish but that didn't stop him he knew in his heart this does not change that he want's Yui and the other children to smile on forever, or the Chevalier's work to be in vain, he explained all this to Keeye, and he nodded "You passed" Keeye said "Most people would lie and make themselves look good, but you admitted that you did this mostly for yourself, very self-aware." Viertel looked into his eyes and said "What are you saying professor." Keeye chuckled and said, "Ho about you be my student, I'll teach you more than just merging those flames." He said while pulling out a pack of cigarettes, he offered them to Viertel, they both lit them in unison, with Viertel using his own flame, after blowing out his first puff he replied "I accept." Keeye smiled and said "I know what you're thinking, and it isn't unfair the others will have personal tutors too the school assigns them, but you piqued my interest." After the cigarette they went back to the training hall where they were just about to start sparring.

Harvey saw Viertel walking in, he invited him to join in the sparring, soon after the rest started inviting him as well at this point he had no choice but to join.
