Na Zan's eagle gifted grip was just as strong as Wang Yi biting into his flesh, his thick talons pierced through the teen till blood was pouring down where he had his hands on.
Both were in extreme pain, almost equal, only Na Zan was in a lot more critical disadvantage yet none of the two could step back themselves.
Unknowingly, without himself noticing, due to blinded rage Wang Yi even caused a terrible thunderstorm, stirred up in emotions.
"WANG YI!!! NA ZAN!!"
Xiao Xiao calls out as she tries to pull them both off of each other, only to no avail.
It wasn't easy when they both were unwilling as if glued to each other.
More wanting to put one another to death.
"Y-you son of a...how dare y-you!! Let go of me!! ARGH!!"
Na Zan cries out when he feels the fangs go even deeper into his arm.
He hallows in excruciating pain as his grip tightens on Wang Yi, scratching, but any further he goes, he would no doubt get his arm bitten off and separated from his torso by this fish.
Right when Wang Yi was going for it, too deeply clouded in his vicious desires of wanting to eat on his flesh and fully rip his arm apart, a sudden big force pulls them off from each other.
"What are you two trying to kill each other for!???"
Xie Hun growls, who was now in his giant wolf form, more stronger than human that he managed to pull these two apart, making them land on their backs at the floor.
That's only when Wang Yi finally realized what he has done and his bruised bleeding arm throbbing from the bird's death grip, he noticed that the female and male disciples were coming together in hurry, not long after Ke La and the others joined.
Wang Yi feels the ugly taste of burning flesh of his fellow classmate he has bitten into. The youth face was horribly covered in blood that wasn't his own. His eyes turns back to its original bright green, thunderstorm dying down.
He couldn't take a moment to understand whether this was real or not. Everything he forbid in his life came ruining in just seconds.
"Oh my God, Wang Yi, what the heck happened here!!!???"
This meeting that looked both serious and important, as if they were about to collect new forces was now ruined because of him.
His ears were blocked to the terrified cries and yells of every single soul, but all he could focus on was Xiao Xiao and Xie Hun rescuing the heavily wounded victim, the one who triggered his dangerous insticts he held for so long.
It was because of that bird.
He had an ugly feeling curl up inside his stomach the more he stares at Xiao Xiao, who carefully yet hurriedly carried the boy and went to the emergency health room, soon leaving from his sight.
What about me?
I'm just as much injured as he is and you don't even come to me when you're my caregiver!??
Just as Wang Yi felt like he was abandoned by someone who was supposed to be his so called mother Xiao Xiao, Ke La and Yufeng, Zhenyi were helping him recover.
However it didn't feel as comforting as how he imagined it would. Such a disappointment. He expected Xiao Xiao to come up for him first and ask him if he's okay, but without hesitation she chose the other...
he should've known.
It's even making him more regretful that it was that damn bird and his dirty mouth that caused all this yet he's getting the honour to be taken care of by the woman he disrespected.
I should've just killed that bird on the spot.
While he was distracted with rage and regret, he didn't realize that he was already taken to the same health room where Xie Hun and Xiao Xiao was at. But they were far enough to not be heard.
"Y-you...Did you eat his meat? So the tale about merman being cannibal- I mean, that they eat human is true?"
"...as you can see. Tasted awful. I'd rather feed on insects."
Wang Yi wiped his bloody face, throwing up on some remaining meat on his mouth, not really feeling like talking as the boys were tending his bruised arm. One of the nurses were also taking care of the places where he got scratched roughly.
But none of that matter, because his eyes could only linger at his foster mother, who was helping to heal the wound of the eagle with , sacred energy, whom he bit.
The more he watched them, Wang Yi feels like utter dirt, not worthy of anything.
"How can this be!? I thought you would never be like the other sirens....Argh! And now...what will happen to you? That general and teacher they would never let this go by easily..."
"Could it be that he couldn't avoid his merman instics after all? Wang Yi is still very young, and it's understandable because we all will go through that once in our lifetime, I'm just afraid he needs some training to do... At most detained?"
"On the other note It's my first time seeing such a vivid thunderstorm made by a merfolk himself! Oh my Gosh, and did you all see the general's transformation!? Ahhh!!! He was this huge!!! And sooo scaryyy, though really handsome... But seriously how did all of this happen!?"
The teen sighs, tired of listening.
"...I didn't want this to happen either. Na Zan was being an a-hole, i-i don't know how I reacted, anyway it all happened too fast. I'm just surprised that you-, uh, you guys don't blame me..."
"Weeeeeell, to be fair Na Zan has always been picking on you indirectly, I hope he will back off now or else his other arm would be bitten off!"
Zhenyi purposefully speaks in a higher volume, letting the eagle and Xiao Xiao hear from the next room.
Only it came responding with a strict man voice.
"Hey, you three! Get back to the hall right this instant, don't stay here!! We still have an important announcement to share, forgot!?"
Zhenyi awkwardly bows in apology at the strict general before turning to look at the younger worriedly,
"We have to go now...will you be okay on your own?"
"What on your own? I'm coming with you guys too!"
Everyone paused for a second to look at the said boy, including Xiao Xiao. All of them sharing the same thought.
"What? Am I not allowed to attend the meeting now?"
"I think everyone's a bit frightened right now...it's best if you both stay here."
"Are you kidding me!? You can bring that Jen guy or whatever his name is and the others who witnessed, clearly Na Zan provoked me first!!"
"It was a stupid joke! I didn't mean it so you would eat me!!!"
"You dare playing innocent right now, you little-"
"Enough! Wang Yi, if you leave this room I'll kick you out from this school forever and you'll never be able to go anywhere else!"
The jade rabbit warned in fury before she leaves the room with everyone else, except for Na Zan and him.
She didn't even give the teen time to respond, who starts to feel wronged.
"Look at her go, wow. So fierce and heartless, don't you think?"
" You might actually be kicked out but you know, I had some theories that maybe she at least cared about you, but apparently you're seriously nothing but a slave! I've noticed you've been watching her ever since you got here, and God, that woman didn't even take a glance at you!"
Na Zan began laughing despite the fading pain from Xiao Xiao's shared energy.
He became very cocky now that he knows that in the teacher's eyes he mean more than her own slave, Wang Yi.
" It's fine that you bit my arm, you're just so pathetic, it's funny! I'm glad now that you're the only one that ruined yourself.
"Your impossible pathetic love which you'll never get... Anyways, that teacher gave part of herself to me, and not you. Must've hurt, huh?"
"What freaking love are you talking about!??? Who's pathetic!!!"
The teenager thought inside as he held himself back with clenched fists.
It's best to ignore. That's the worst comeback.
Wang Yi stays silent as he gets off the bed, he wasn't gonna just sit and do nothing, not especially with this shameless trash.
He looked out of the window to see the crowd, right at the center stood his foster mother and the general, on the side other teachers gathered, who were trying to calm everyone down.
By the looks of It it seemed like it would be some sort of mission, where they were planning on to take few of the disciples, Wang Yi guessed.
"We shall deal with the matter at hand accordingly! Everyone calm down. Listen to us!"
"Don't you think he acted the same way his mother did? Merfolk are in fact the most dangerous creatures...I just never thought they would feast on human flesh! That's so disgusting and terrifying-"
"It's a well known fact since ages ago, didn't you know?! They are very good at looking innocent and friendly but they'll eventually eat you alive...!!! they're just like that because they can eat anything raw."
"Was it forbidden for them to join human world? I've always wondered why it's almost very rare to see merfolk around..."
"Right, right Wang Yi, the son of Yu Ping is the only merman in our whole school and sects. Anyway it's scary to be around someone that might potentially crave you as a meal..."
"It's really such a shame! Merfolk are born so astonishingly good looking, but it seems their beauty is only to trick people-"
"Sshhh. Quiet! Everyone! We are about to start the meeting!"
"You all know our general - senior Xie Hun and how much it is of a honour for him to attend here,
So the reason of this meeting today is to personally go on a secret mission to get rid of the evil that have been bothering the town lately."
" You're all trained to become warriors! The protectors of this land, and with all the skills you've gathered it is time to go on act! This shall be the first step for some of you, so with pride you should join!"
So it was true...
Xiao Xiao, you said I definitely would join you. At least Xie Hun wants me to- ugh, can't believe I actually want to do the way he expects of me.
But now, just because I lost my senses,
Can't I?
I want to make sure what it is that makes me so irritated whenever those bastards talk shamelessly about you, but,- huh? wait a minute,
He realized,
"JUST WHY DO I EVEN CARE!??"
Wang Yi accidentally thought out loud the last part, scolding himself.
"You!!- How dare you scream at me! Look at what you've done to me yet you still dare to raise your voice at me!?"
The eagle that misunderstood gets offended, to which Wang Yi curses inside before correcting himself,
"I meant...just to let you know, your bird self tasted like utter filth. Even eating a dead rat would be a better meal."
"Ha!??? You take that back, you worthless fish!"
