Aiko was too lazy to follow Kevin. She couldn't stand Viola's fake attitude anymore. Aiko chose to go to the canteen, the food there was enough to fill her hungry stomach. Especially, when you feel angry like now. Aiko needed more food to make up for her lost energy.
Aiko started to enjoy the food she had managed to get. Aiko didn't care that so many pairs of eyes were watching her. She was getting used to the stares of the youths on campus. However, moments later she couldn't ignore the feeling of discomfort that arose.
A hot aura suddenly began to touch the surface of her skin. The wind blows bringing hot air. Aiko became more alert. This is a bad sign. Even the trees around the cafeteria also warned him, signaling to Aiko about the approaching danger.
Aiko stopped what she was doing, she rushed to clean up the tray containing her food. As she got up from her seat and turned around. Bruck! Pyarrr… Klontang...
Aiko bumped into someone, and the tray she was holding fell to the floor. This commotion caught the attention of the cafeteria residents. Aiko immediately picked up the fallen objects, after she quickly said sorry to the person.
The man looked annoyed at his shirt which was stained with Aiko's leftover food.
"Hey, look what you've done!"
Aiko stood up and apologized while bowing her body. Then she put on a guilty face. Aiko didn't want to cause trouble so she apologized. Aiko realized this was all her fault for being careless.
"You!"
The youth had already swung his hand to slap Aiko, but then it was blown in the air before reaching the smooth surface of Aiko's skin.
The youth was mesmerized when he saw Aiko's beauty. He couldn't bear to hurt her.
"You, who? New student?"
"Hah?" Aiko lifted her face to look at the youth in front of her.
"You're so beautiful, I can't miss you this long." The youth's eyes shone admiring Aiko's appearance from top to bottom.
"Yeah, you're right. This is my second day here."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Alex," he introduced himself, holding out his hand.
Aiko looked at Kevin's hand, the hot air around Alex's hand made Aiko not want to welcome his outstretched hand. This young man had an unkind aura. It was dangerous for Aiko to come into physical contact with him.
"Aiko," Aiko said with a faint smile to avoid her interlocutor being offended. She didn't take her outstretched hand.
"Ah, what a unique name. I like that." Alex kept his hand back disappointed but not angry. He was even more curious because Aiko was different from other girls who liked being touched by Alex.
Alex immediately liked Aiko, especially after seeing her smile that bothered him so much. Even her beauty was able to shake his muscular chest.
Alex is an athletic type of guy, he likes to exercise to keep his body in good shape. His face is also handsome, so many girls on campus are crazy about him. He is also one of the sons of the director on campus. Of course, he has enough living facilities to make campus residents jealous. Even the girls on campus are vying for his attention. However, Aiko was different, she wasn't interested at all. Moreover, the bad aura that always covers Alex. Aiko tried to dodge it.
"Sorry, but I have to go."
Aiko turned around quickly, Alex tried to stop her, she could barely reach Aiko's hand if the wind didn't suddenly blow strongly towards Alex. It was amazing that Aiko was walking normally through the wind as if nothing was blocking her way.
Alex immediately used his hands to protect his face. The strong wind and flying dust-obscured Alex's vision. By the time things got better, Alex had already lost track of Aiko.
"Unlucky!" he complained.
"What is it? Are you okay?" asked one of his friends.
"Crazy, what just happened? Weird." muttered another of Alex's friends. He swept his arm, patting his dusty shirt.
"I don't care what happens. But because of this damn wind, I lost a beautiful girl."
"Relax, we will help you find it."
"You have to find out. Let me know if you find any info about Aiko."
"Certainly."
Meanwhile, Aiko walked quickly away from Alex. Aiko went home first. He even forgot to tell Kevin. Aiko's good fortune still remembers when Kevin opened his door code. So Aiko was able to enter the house without a hitch. She threw himself on the bed. Fatigue spread throughout his body. Aiko fell asleep in just seconds.
Apparently, the aura caused by Alex had a bad impact on Aiko. Some of her energy quickly diminished due to Alex's negative aura. Luckily nature helped him. Aiko had an ability that she wasn't aware of.
Aiko had a dream again, the dream she once had continued. Her chest was moving up and down rapidly. In rhythm with the beating of her heart that was beating fast and hunting. Her body warmed due to the rapid circulation of blood. She was taken aback by the question of a middle-aged woman before him.
"Who are you?!" She asked in a probing tone.
"I… I got lost. I accidentally found this place. I…." She answered with trepidation.
"What is it?" A deep, firm voice came from behind the woman. The glasses that framed his eyeballs fit perfectly on his face. Describe a genius. His forehead then furrowed when he saw the presence of a foreign girl.
"I'm not a bad person. I just stumbled across this place. I was chased by some people. I was just looking for a place to take cover."
"Liar!" snapped the middle-aged man.
The girl looks scared. Her guts shrunk when he heard the roar of the man who looked friendly.
"Control yourself. Don't scare him."
"Honey, that's enough. Don't think all strangers are nice. There have been plenty of people like him trying to sneak in to steal our work."
"You're right, but I don't see that this girl is dangerous. Look, she has a lot of wounds. Let me help her. After that, you can interrogate her. Agree?"
The middle-aged man left the room, letting his wife do what she wanted.
"Come here, don't be afraid. I just want to help you." He said softly, slowly approaching the girl. Her aura is so calming. Gives peace to the universe.
"Done, you can rest on the sofa. I'll be right back. You must be hungry, I'll cook something."
The girl is so obedient. He followed every direction given. The feeling of warmth, comfort, and peace made the girl hypnotized to follow his orders.
The middle-aged man immediately withdrew his wife's hand as soon as she left the room.
"Looks like she's from the winged clan." She whispered.
"Don't be careless. She looks different. She didn't even hurt me."
"Because she's injured. Once she gets better, it's best to get rid of him. I don't want to take the risk."
Winged? What did the man mean?
