"I thought about it I took my time to think through it all and thinking the benefits I could get. You clearly have the freedom to just chose another person, but you stayed with me while all that pride thing of yours is surely a lie if I reject you somebody else will have you. This thought scares me as you don't care about good and evil which is why I shall use you so tell me what you can do"
"Mhm" Gluttony was in its human form grabbing Malum chin.
"When you face danger think about consuming the thing and shouting the words devour in your head as you are weak and a beginner that way you will be able to use the power you currently can have" Gluttony was smiling at Malum.
The smile of his felt threatening as if Gluttony will devour him at any moment. Malum was sweating his body was screaming to move the eyes from gluttony where fixated on Malum
"This school will just hold you back of you becoming stronger Malum spending one year here will do nothing good except wasting time" Gluttony was honest he disliked the idea of wasting a year in a school that will bring nothing.
"Even if you say that it is not like I can escape an entire country easily. The government really likes to force every student to go in such military camp"
Malum walked to the school entering that he looked around seeing a lot of students and he could tell that most are freshman's just like him.
`This will be interesting´ A student was then thrown right beside Malum.
He looked at the student and saw how there was a hole at the student shirt while no injury being visible. He had an idea who it could be but hoped that it is not the person who he thinks it is. He walked to the direction of where the student came flying and indeed it was the person who he thought it would be.
"WHICH ONE OF YOU ASSHOLES WANT TO FIGHT ME NOW?"
Ira was shouting around with multiple male students being on ground not moving.
`She didn't kill them, right? ´
Malum was worried that Ira accidently killed them as she cannot control her strength well.
`She really didn't change´
That thought tired Malum as he started to recall all the times when Ira fought. The three knew each other since pre-school and they were as close as siblings. She grabbed a male student who was just standing between two students who have fainted on the ground.
"Now tell me will you say that again if so, I better rip your tongue out"
The male student face became and when Ira let him go, he fell on the ground with his legs shaking. Ira had an arrogant look on her face she glared around to the students who were watching when she saw Malum. She looked at the ground and walked away fast when she had seen Malum.
"?" `Is she angry with me´ Malum misunderstood Ira which Gluttony did know but not bothered to explain. Gluttony appeared behind Malum whispering in his ear.
"Even though I told you to use your power when you are in danger you don't have unlimited time Malum if you don't find something to feed me that is delicious, I will choose what I eat"
Malum looked back not seeing Gluttony but just a student that looks confused at him. Malum was sweating and just walked out from all the others and went around the group of students. Malum just walked faster not wanting to get bothered by any one of them if he gets caught in that thing it would make his school life just troublesome and nothing else.
"Malum" A voice called for him and he looked around
"Above you"
The voice said again and looking up he saw who it was
"Seriously Otiosum"
Malum sounded exhausted seeing his friend floating up in the air on a floating pillow. The pillow which was flying moved to Malum and Otiosum had a not so sleepy look on his face
"Just wanted to tell you, you should better keep this time a distance between us two"
"What why?"
"Many try to fight us or just make trouble and they would pull you into it just so they can beat us" "What do they gain power or what?"
"They just want to fight to prove their strength you know the typical thing"
"I See..." Malum tapped with his left foot on the ground.
"Bad that it is like that but nothing we can do against it"
He smiled to Otiosum the smile was one that was hiding that Malum regrated that the three would not be able to meet like he thought they could.
`No use to cry over spilled milk´
Those were the thoughts that Malum had he could not complain as he was just a weak human and nothing else. He was not a dragon like Otiosum neither a human cultivator like Ira.
"Then goodbye we see us at the end of the year Otiosum"
He reached his hand out to his friend who smiled and shook the hand of Malum.
"Yea we see us at the end of the year"
A promise was made between the two but a promise that Malum won't be able to keep as the path that waits for Malum is thorny.
