Deep in thought about how he was gonna do the ability test, he felt a gentle tap on the back shoulder. Turning to see who it was, he saw a boy. The boy was a few inches taller than Alec. He had a square face with a jawline that could chisel granite and a pair of dark red eyes with short black hair.
Looking at the smiling face of the stranger, Alec couldn't help but ask,
"Pardon?"
"Sorry if I'm disturbing you. Just wanna know why you aren't practicing like others," the boy said, with a smile still lingering on his face.
Alec hesitated for a while before saying,
"Well, I have nothing to practice."
"Are you perhaps afraid of the test?" The boy asked with a concealed smile on his face.
"Afraid? No, I'm just nervous," Alec answered, moving his gaze away from the boy.
"I'm quite strong, you know. So you have nothing to be worried about….." The boy preferred using Alec's name to finish off his sentence.
"Oh yeah, my name's Alec Phil," Alec quickly uttered.
"Nice to meet you, Alec, my name's Davin Hart," the boy introduced himself and placed out his hand for a shake.
Alec took the boy's hand for a shake.
[Ability user has been detected]
[Ability has been rejected]
Once the message appeared, Alec looked at the boy strangely. He noticed that Davin still hadn't removed his hands nor broken eye contact with him. Then the system repeated the message once again.
[Ability user has been detected]
[Ability been rejected]
Alec forcefully pulled out his hand from the shake. The system was clearly telling him that Davin was trying to use his ability or his whatever on him.
The boy had a puzzled look when his hand was withdrawn from Alec's.
"W-what is your ability?" Davin eventually asked.
"I….I" Alec stuttered, not knowing whether to tell him or not. But later decided to tell him since the boy would eventually know later. "I currently have no ability."
Davin was shocked when he heard that though he managed to hide his shocked expression. Alec's answer made his puzzlement grow as the answer was insufficient to satisfy his curiosity and theory but before he could say anything else a female walked in front of Alec and landed a hard slap across his face.
…..On the other hand, Kim was busy searching around the place to see if she was gonna spot, Alec.
Back in the purple room, there wasn't enough light to see clearly, so she began searching for Alec the moment they stepped out of the purple room.
The crowd was too much thus blocking her vision and making her sights not to go far.
"Dad, why the fuck did you task me with his protection? Now I can't even find his whereabouts," Kim muttered in annoyance as she pushed through the crowd to see if she could spot him anywhere.
However, just when she was about to walk past another cluster of students to look over at the other side for Alec, she was suddenly dragged back by arm.
"Who the fuck dare to tou.." Kim halted her mouth when she turned around and saw who dragged her back.
It was a fair brown-haired guy with high and wide cheekbones that gave the impression of apple cheeks and, thus, lingering a smile.
The boy had a sharp jawline making him look more manly. His brown hair was roughly arranged, leaving a few strands on his face.
A perfect guy was what girls could have called the boy as he was a beauty.
Though Kim appreciated the beauty before her eyes, it still didn't stop the anger she was feeling from being dragged back by a stranger.
"Who the fuck are you and why did you pull me back?" Kim asked with a murderous glare.
For Kim, the boy was good in looks and handsome, but that shouldn't be enough reason to go about touching people against their will.
"Hey, I'm Byron Windsor. I kinda wanna help with what or who you are searching for. I have been observing you quite lately and you seem to be looking for someone. You wouldn't mind if I accompany the search, will you?" The boy said with a cute smile.
"Yeah, I would mind. And if you fucking lay your hands on me again, I assure you that's gonna be the last time you use them," Kim said, turning around and walking away.
Byron was dumbfounded by what he heard. This was the first time someone had talked to him like that and on top of that, a female.
Having come from a super rich family, he barely quarrels with people but rather was good at giving out commands. So it came as a little bit of surprise for someone to be talking to him like that.
Nevertheless, he wasn't angry; rather, he found it fun and amusing.
Before Kim could step out of his radius, he went forward to pull her back again but then Kim suddenly stopped walking, looking intently in a direction as if she saw a ghost.
"You fucking bitch. I was busy looking for you all over the place and you are here chatting away. I'm gonna kill you for this!" Kim exclaimed inwardly before rushing towards Alec.
Before Alec could get to realize what was happening a slap landed on his face.
"W….What the heck was that, Kim?" Alec uttered, holding his right cheek in pain. The slap was hard and resounding. The sound made some students look in their direction.
Davin saw Kim coming in rage (that he was able to tell from her aura) when he was talking to Alec and thought to stop her, but after seeing the horrid look on her face, he knew better than not to interfere otherwise a scene would be created.
"You…you. How dare you stand here and gossip while I was busy looking everywhere for you?" Kim barked in anger.
"The heck? I tried looking everywhere for you but the crowd was too much," Alec answered back in an equally aggravated tone.
She just slapped him and was shouting at him on top of that.
Seeing Alec shout back at Kim in an equally aggravated tone, Bryon knew that a scene would soon be created if the two didn't get separated.
So wasting no time, he strode quickly toward the angry couple and reaching there, he quickly grabbed Kim's arm and pulled her a little farther from Alec.
"It's okay, let's not create a scene here," Byron calmly said.
Kim quickly turned in anger to see who pulled her arm and seeing it was the same boy from earlier, her anger doubled.
"You again? I should have done more than just talking the last time you touched me!" Kim furiously yelled out and in the next moment, two daggers appeared in her hands.
"What the fuck? Kim, No!" Alec shouted, realizing what was about to happen.
But it was too late because Kim had already gone for a cut.
Being a good fighter, Byron knew that if he didn't step back he was gonna be heavily injured. So before Kim's daggers could land on him, he quickly took a step back, dodging the attack.
It didn't stop there cause Kim stomped further for another cut and this time, faster.
They were making a scene, and everyone gleefully watched.
"Wow, she is fast. What's her ability?" One of the boys asked.
"I'm not sure, maybe speed ability."
"That's quite rare and handy, you know."
Several students expressed their amusement in unison, watching the two.
"Stop it, you two!" Sergeant Zick barked, putting an end to their little fight. "If you have that much energy to fight, then save it for the test."
At once Kim returned her daggers to her hand.
"Seriously? She really wants to cut me with those things," Byron said to Alec.
"It thinks it's your fault, you can't just go around touching people," Alec said.
"Yeah I know, but I was just trying to help and avoid unnecessary scenes ."
"Well, you have already created one," Davin added.
Totally ignoring Davin, Byron said,
"Well, you're quite lucky to have been a pretty girl." Byron teased with a sweet smile while looking at Kim.
"You…." Kim uttered in anger before moving again to hit Byron.
"Woah!!" Alec and Davin uttered in unison.
But before Kim could get near Byron, a female voice reverberated the whole place, through the speaker.
"I believe the twenty minutes break is over."
