Chereads / TBATE: A NEW LIFE / Chapter 20 - Chapter 19

Chapter 20 - Chapter 19

Noah Wilson POV

Vines shot out from the ground and wrapped tightly around Jack and Charles.

I looked around trying to find who helped us, but there's no elves around. I land my gaze at Arthur and he seems to know who helped us.

A wicked grin suddenly appeared on Arthur face as he look at the two. I don't know what he's going to do but, I'm sure it was safe to assume that it will humiliate the both of them.

I walked toward arthur and picked up Sylvie on his head and put her on my head. Then hold Caera and Ellie hand, then we left the cafeteria with them looking at me confused.

"Kyu?"

"Noah what are you doing? Why are we leaving without my brother and Elijah?" Ellie asked. While Caera nod her head.

"Yeah Noah why are we leaving without them? And it's clear that a fight will happen, shouldn't we at least help them?" Caera inquired.

"If a fight may really happen they don't need our help. And I'm sure there will be none to happen seeing that Charles and jack were both tied up." I responded.

"So why did we left?" Ellie asked.

"I don't know what Arthur will do but, I'm sure it's something the three of you shouldn't see." I responded. As I dragged the both of them to their room.

Arthur Leywin POV

'As expected from Noah. He already know that I'm going to do something that is not good for them to see so he dragged them out.' I thought as I saw Noah dragging Ellie and Caera with Sylvie on his head.

I turn my gaze to the two, who were tied up, and once again a wicked grin appeared on my face.

"W-What is this?! Let me go!" Charles yelled as he struggled to remove the vines. "Hey unhand me."

I can't used magic since it will caused us trouble, So I have to do it with my hand. As I walked towards them I released some pressure from my core and the both of them began to shout.

"What are you going to do? Do you think you'll get away with this? Wait till I tell my paren--" Before Charles could finish his words I interrupted him.

"You brats from noble house love to flaunt your riches and power... When all you're doing is embarrassing your family like this." I said as I walked toward them.

"Huh? There's nothing to embarrass if I put trash like you in their place, my parents would be proud." Charles replied with a smug as if he forgot his current situation. While his lackey jack nodded his head.

"Is that so? Then allow me the honor of teaching the both of you an important lesson." I said as I raised both of my hand, my left hand in front of Charles while my right hand in jack.

"We're an unarmed and tied up, What can you do with all of these witnesses watching? Huh?" Jack said.

"Something crueler to you kids than physical injury..." I replied.

"Do you think a no-name brat like you can get away with using magic to--" Charles couldn't finish his words as I pulled down their pants. Revealing their shafts with the size of....   Ellie's pinky? What the hell is that thing?

"Huh? Are you sure both of you are boys?" I asked innocently, not gonna lie if it weren't for the balls I would've thought the both of them were girls. Seeing this the students in the cafeteria were all laughing.

"Eww... Gross."

"What's that? A leech?"

"There's nothing much to see."

"HAHAHAHAHA. Look my pinky finger is way bigger than those things."

"What the, even my baby brother has bigger than that."

Both jack and Charles were all red. While the remaining lackey of Charles were also laughing.

"Elijah, I'm going out first." I said as Elijah who was still stunned nodded his head.

I left the cafeteria and walked to where the benches is, as I saw the person who helped us earlier. She didn't bother to look at me even though she know I was here, as she continue looking at the moon.

"Thanks for the help back there Tess." I said as I sat beside her.

"I know you didn't need it." She replied as she her gaze move from the sky to the ground.

"Still you save me and my friends from getting in trouble for the second time today." I said as I looked to the sky.

There was an uncomfortable silence after I said that. As I don't know what to say in this situation I decided to stay quiet.

The uncomfortable silence was ended after Tess and I spoke the same time.

"I'm sorr-"

"I'm sorry Art---"

"OUCH!"

We couldn't finish our words as my chin and the top of her head collided.

"I think I heard my chin crack just now." I chuckled as I rubbed my chin then looking at Tess, who was looking down while rubbing her head. "Wait are you crying."

"Shut up... It's because it's hurt." She replied.

"Does it hurt that much?" I asked,

"It does look how swollen it is already!" She responded.

There was a moment of silence once again before she spoke.

"I thought you hated me for what I did earlier." She said as she leaned closer.

I can sense someone were watching us, and directing some killing intent to me as Tess put her head In my shoulder. I want to laugh as how petty the killing Intent was but I hold it in.

"No I didn't, I know you only did it knowing I don't want to attract attention. But I'm sorry for my sister's behavior earlier, since she didn't know that we know each other." I replied, as she nodded her head.

"It's okay, I understand her behavior since her brother was being lectured for nothing." She said, then she removed her head and she sit properly.

"Art, I want to ask something." She said as she looked at me.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Who is that Caera girl? And Noah and Elijah who are they?" She asked looking at me.

"Oh they were my friends I made during my adventures. I met Caera Noah and Elijah during the test. And Noah and Caera joined our party after the test, and during our last dive we teamed up with Elijah, and we became friends" I explained, as she nodded her head.

I stand up from where I was sitting, and reached out my hand toward her. She looked at me confused at first but put her hand on mine and also stand up.

"Let's go and take walk." I said as she happily nodded her head.

I can still feel someone were looking at us, but I didn't bother about it. And send a message to Elijah using sound magic.

'Elijah, I'm taking a walk, you can go back to our room first. I will comeback later.'

After I finished saying my word. We wander inside the campus, talking about what happened to ourselves during this past three years. I told her about my adventures with jasmine, Caera and Noah. While she told me about her training with Aya, Alea and gramps.

"Art, I heard about it from grandma Cynthia." She said while I just looked at her.

"You call her grandma? And what did you hear from her?" I asked as she nodded.

"Yes she Said to call her grandma since she didn't have any relatives. And she want to be called by me like that." She explained before she answered my second question."she told me about you being the captain of the new committee. While your friends and Ellie will also join as a member."

"Oh, I don't have something to do anyway, and by being the captain of the DC. I can make sure that Ellie can attend the Academy without troubles. And the director also gave us some gifts for accepting the position anyway." I replied. She looked at me tilting her head, waiting for me to say the benefits I get from accepting the position.

"She allowed us to attend the upper classes and mock battles, while Elijah refused the offer to attend the classes, Because he said he couldn't manage his time to do it. And she also gave us a private training room for us to use." I said as she nodded her head.

"So you and the others will attend some upper class subjects. That means there's a chance that we will attend the same class." She said happily, while I nodded my head.

"Yes, and you don't have to act as if we didn't know each other. I only did it to not attract the attention of the others, but since I'm now the captain of the DC. I couldn't continue my low-key life anymore."

"Really! So that means we can talk in public like how we do in private?" She asked as I nodded my head.

"We're here." I announced as I looked toward the building. Tess let out a sigh and I smiled, I then took out the beast core from my ring.

Since Aya said I should give it to her myself. I'm thinking about asking gramps if Tess can handle an S-class beast will. But I don't have the chance so I will just give it to her and help her to assimilate with it.

"Here, this is a core with a will intact. It should help you to become stronger than you are now." I said as I gave her the core. And she was shocked at first, after looking at the core, then she quickly composed herself then jumped at me.

"Art thank you! Thank you for this I promise I will use it well." She said enthusiastically and hugging me. And I just patted her back.

"I will help you to assimilate with it after I get the training room from the director." I said as she nodded. I turned my back and prepare to leave.

"I think it's time for me to go back to my dorm and rest. Since tomorrow will be a tiring day. See you tomorrow!" I said as I wave my hand.

"Yeah. See you tomorrow!" She replied waving her hand.

As I continue my walk, I couldn't help but let out a sigh. Just how persistent this person could be?

"You know what? You are barely hiding yourself from the start. So why don't you just show yourself and stop hiding since you aren't good at it, Clive." I said with a calm expression, as I looked to the corner where Clive were hiding.

Clive came out from his hiding spot. With a look of anger written on his face.

"Speak you commoner, what's your relationship with the president? And how dare you act like that you should know your place!" He said with an anger that could be heard from his voice.

"What's my relationship with her is none of your business. And you shouldn't bother to the things that had nothing to do with you, because you will only bring disaster upon yourself." I said in a threatening voice, which anger him more.

"How dare a commoner like you give advise to someone like me? I advise you to not bother the president anymore, or I will make sure you and your family wouldn't survive what a strong noble mage like me can do." He said angrily. While I deadpan him.

Seriously? I already saw his core earlier, and he was only at the solid-orange stage. Strong noble mage like him?

Don't make me laugh!

Even Ellie could kill him effortlessly. And he said he wanted to do something to my family?

If my family were weak, like how the other commoners should be I would've been worried by now. But, heck even if my mother was just a healer she was at the mid-silver stage.

And he said that my family couldn't survived his wrath? I bet he wouldn't last half minute against us.

I just sighed at his stupidity, I'm thankful that Aya taught me some of her illusion spell. Well this spell could made him stop bothering me for a long time, more than enough for me to get away from him, and traumatized him for an hour.

Since he was still ranting about, what he will do If I didn't leave Tess alone. I prepare the spell under the influence of mirage walk, so he couldn't sense it.

I cast an illusion spell that Aya taught me. This spell will make the person that was hit by it, to see what he feared the most.

As I cast the spell he started screaming, I'm thankful that I made a precaution since I put some sound barrier around him. If I didn't do it I'm sure many students who was sleeping in their rooms would've been awaken by now.

This spell will last for an hour. But if you have strong mentality, you can get out from it anytime you want. But seeing that he looked like someone who doesn't have a strong mentality, I'm sure he will stay there for an hour.

I decided to left the scene and making sure no one saw me.

I arrived at the door of our room. Opening the door I walked inside and I saw Elijah already sleeping, and Noah was sitting on his bed while Sylvie was sleeping beside him.

"Why are you still awake? " I asked him and he deadpan me.

"The both of us know that, we don't really need to sleep every time just once in a while Is fine. So why are you still asking why am I awake?" He replied.

"Oh right I almost forgot it, since it almost became a habit that we always sleep around this time with jasmine."I said scratching the back of my head and he just chuckled.

"So, where did you go?" He asked

"I just take walk with Tess and have a chat. And also gave her the beast core." I responded and he nodded his head.

I then walked towards my bed and sat on the middle.

"So what's your plan Captain?" He teased me while asking.

"What plan?" I asked and he looked at me as If I'm an idiot.

"Did you forget what the director said earlier?"Noah asked me while I just nod my head. "Then why are you still asking you should get it by now."

"What do you mean? I don't really get it, Why don't you just spill the beans." I said as he sighed.

"I think you already forgot, everything about him." He said while I looked at him confused as he continued.

"Didn't the director said earlier that the members of the DC were based on their strengths." He said as I realized something.

Yes! Why did I forgot about him?

"What happened back there wasn't recorded since Bairon blocked it and asked us to forgive his brother, So the director wouldn't know about it. And if the DC member were all chosen based on strengths then that means. There's a chance that....."

I shake my head and sighed as I continued the words he was about to say.

"Lucas Wykes will be also a member of the DC."
