The door opened soundlessly as it was trying not to disturb the man inside. I mean I can really understand, the man inside was that much dangerous. A ninth class mage. There only a hand full of them in the whole planet. But one was right infront. Finally I could see the majestic figure of the person who can rival the world, "Orion Grandward". He is just standing there in a corner near the bookshelf and was scrolling his hands through them, searching for something. He looks are like a handsome middle aged man and the white silky short hair he had helped him to cover his age. I wonder, how old he was?
We waited there patiently hoping him to look at us. But he never turned his eyes towards us.
"Principle Orion..."
Professor tried to get his attention in a low voice.
"Oh...you were here? pardon me"
He turned his gaze towards us and replied with a warm smile.
I don't believe what he said about not noticing us. I was sure he can sense us from a mile away. Or maybe he didn't paid any attention as there were only a few things that could threaten that man.
"So professor, why do you come to visit me at this lovely evening with this young man?"
"Hm.. its noon though"
"...."
"...."
Of course it was me. I couldn't control my damn mouth again. Old habits never dies...
"Cough...cough.... so what are you doing here professor?"
This time he asked with a straight face. He seemed like annoyed of something, wonder what it was.
"Huh! I came to report some thing"
She suddenly answered snapping out from her daze.
"What? did he cause some trouble?"
His eyes narrowed down to me.
"No, infact I came to report that he solved the decade old multiple tornado formula"
"Is that true?!"
He do seems some kind of surprised. But not to that extend.
"No"
"..."
"..."
My quick reply surprised them.
"What is the meaning of this?"
He looked at the professor in confusion.
"Well.... its kind of trouble some, even though he did it infront of the whole class he still kept denying it"
"Hear me down first"
I stepped in and began to explain.
"I agree that I solved it, but it was only a fluke"
"A fluke?"
Principle raised his eyebrows in wonder.
I even thought about saying the truth thinking about the nonsense I am gonna spout next.
"Yup a fluke, I solved it because I didn't know that it wasn't complete. And believe me if I knew it wasn't complete I never would have completed even in my dreams"
What was I reasoning with? I even felt like dying saying something like that.
"Oh... and what were you doing in class while the professor was explaining?"
"Sleeping..."
"..."
"..."
Even though it was only a whisper from my mouth, surely both of them heard it.
"Ha..ha...you sure are an interesting fella young man"
Was this old man trying to play wise. A student who dozed of in the class is interesting? Aren't you the interesting fella here.
"It feels like you are hiding a lot"
He said with a mysterious smile.
"Says the men with no secrets"
I replied with a mysterious smile too.
The truth was the world still didn't know he was ninth class. They still believe he is an eighth class. And it looked like he caught. I could already feel him slowly applying pressure on me. I even started to sweat.
"Aren't you a little brave for your age?"
His tone was really threatening. I am having doubts again. What was I doing in the first place?
"It seems like I was, I hope our honorable principle will forgive me this time"
The principle just closed his eyes for some reason, he was in thought I guess. Then he suddenly opened his mouth and looked towards the professor.
"You both return to class now. We'll talk about it another time"
The professor who was confused all this time couldn't replay and was in a daze"
"Huh..."
Before she could say anything I bowed down to the principle and dragged her out of the office. He just looked at and sighed.
"Hey let me go.."
It was the professor who said while letting her hand free from my grip.
"What was that? did you know the principle before?"
"Nop..."
I replied casually and began to walk away.
"Hey wait..."
"What is it now?"
I was really getting annoyed now.
"You were sleeping through my lecture?"
"Oh...don't blame me, It was your melody like voice that pushed me down to sleep no matter how hard I tried to be awake"
"..."
This time I really walked away in a hurry. What can I even do, the classroom was so far away and I was sure the next period would be began by now.
I was right. When I entered the hall the class was already started and what I got was silent stairs from the new male professor and classmates. Putting them all back to my head I moved towards my seat. There again I saw the owner of the beautiful red eyes smiling towards me. For some reason that gentle smile gave me shivers down my spine.
"As promised handsome, I kept your seat safe"
She was mocking me?
"Were you my friend in my past life?"
"What?"
She seems confused from my sudden question.
"You feels more dangerous than my enemies"
"..."
