"Hmmm___Ouch. What just happened?" the statement brought Bricksoe back from his memory lane. Everyone turned to the source, it seemed Sindiso had finally woken up from his unconscious state.
"You took your sweet ass time didn't you? You think this is your bedroom?" Bricksoe asked with a half raised brow and everyone tensed. They all knew the arrogance of the noble families and they were afraid Sindiso would say something that would invoke more punishment to descend on him. Unfortunately he proved them right the very next second.
"HOW DARE YOU LAY YOUR HAND ON ME!" he roared in anger after recalling what had happened to him, veins throbbed as if they would burst from his forehead and his muscles bulged. His rage caused the air around him to twist with a fiery red aura causing a heat haze around him. The people near him fled knowing that another bout of violence was about to follow.
"Good for you, it seems a little nap was not enough to quell your overabundance of energy, it must really be nice to be so young and energetic. Very well though I wasn't planning on teaching about combat today giving you a prelude to the lesson is not bad." Bricksoe spoke without a change in expression with the same seemingly bored expression which almost made Sindiso explode. In all his years he did not recall anyone ever embarrassing him like this, for someone of his status this was unacceptable.
"Haaaaarrrghh!" he roared and charged at Bricksoe with the ferocity of a wild beast in fact as his punch moved and tore the air the sound of a roar could be heard. And no this was not an auditory illusion.
'What a fool?'
The lady with silver hair who was the only one still seated had that thought as he watched things take place. Whilst most of them were filled with awe at Sindiso's power she only had disdain written on her normally cold face and stoic face.
"That is quite the power output you got there brat but without lending a hit how is it any different from wasting energy. O, I see you are one of those people who believe that power crushes everything there is no need for brains." Bricksoe sidestepped him effortlessly and then his right eye gave a red glow for a second and the next thing.
ROOOOAAARRRR
The air trembled and roared like a lion, a roar so loud it threatened to destroy the eardrums of everyone in the classroom and would have disturbed other places too if the facilities had not been made with special materials that absorbed sound allowing none to escape outside. This roar that made the sound made by Sindiso' earlier attack was produced by Bricksoe as he threw a punch at Sindiso.
BAMMMM
The sound of an explosion echoed followed by the sound of bones breaking as a shockwave blew Sindiso away breaking the wall in the process and on to the next room and shattering the other wall again until he was three rooms away.
"Not a bad skill, not bad at all." Bricksoe turned to them like nothing had happened as he praised the skill that he had just used.
"First lesson in millitary school, close quarter combat and the usage of the RADAS. Don't just recklessly charge like an idiot. Anyone care to explain what RADAS stands for?" he asked but____
"…."
No one responded which was normal. First he had just knocked out a generational genious for the second time like it was nothing . Second the person he had just beaten and humiliated was a scion from an esteemed and noble household. Third the person he beat was a Singularity, someone who managed to awaken a unique system. The fourth and final thing was that they were all sure that he had just used the same skill as Sindiso which should be impossible. They were called singularities for a reason after all, they could use the general skills of others but their systems allowed them access to personalized skills like the Lion's Roar just now.
'And that oldman acted as if it was going to be easy'
Seeing everyone remain quiet when he thought he asked a simple question he was flummoxed not knowing what to do.
Just then three officers arrived in his class bringing with them the misshapen body of Sindiso. Two of them were male while one was a graceful looking female.
"Lieutenant Bricksoe, what is the meaning of this?" without pleasantries or greetings one of them asked with a perplexed expression pointing at the misshapen form of Sindiso, he really looked like he was at death's door as he was bleeding from all his seven orifices and his chest area had caved in and bloody. Everyone was shocked at that sight, this was definitely not what they had imagined their military training would be like, luckily the other teacher who was female happened to be a healer. She was already healing him, behind her was the holographic manifestation of a divine rod with a serpent coiled around it, as a faint glow of light enveloped Sindiso and his body started mending at a visible rate.
'What a powerful and beautiful power. How magnificent. That's a singularity for you.'
Bricksoe nodded in admiration as he looked at the teacher at work. Even the air around them seemed to get purified. Just from this power he could tell that this person was a pure soul otherwise there was no way she could manifest a power so divinely pure and beautiful.
"Lieutenant Bricksoe do you care to explain what just happened?" the man asked again since Bricksoe had not responded to him. He was a man in his late twenties with a sturdy build but his face though not blindingly handsome it contained a certain quality that garnered respect.
"I am teaching naturally errhm pardon me what is your name again?" Bricksoe finally turned to him and responded as if that was obvious.
"Surely you do realise that your method was overboard not to mention you must be aware of this particular individual's family." Finally the other male interjected, he was lean and muscular in proper proportions with a permanent sneer on his face and golden blonde hair that fell to his shoulders, he tried to act cool but he could not hide the arrogance that oozed in spades from every pore in his body but above all else he could barely hide the seething rage brewing within him. He was clearly the youngest of the three teachers that had arrived but his gesture and presence clearly showed he considered himself their superior.
"Overboard? Hardly if I do say so myself otherwise he wouldn't have ended up in the classroom of a powerful healer, no?" Bricksoe responded but his gaze was still glued at the female teacher's healing skill. When everyone heard this they could barely believe it but if what he said was true then just how powerful was this person and his control of his RADAS force was just insane for him to apply enough of it to make sure Sindiso ended up in the Lady Katrina's class. Yes everyone knew of the female healer, she was after all a famous singularity and an heir to a powerful noble family. She was one of the top healers in the kingdom.
Whilst others were all shocked and in awe one person was about to explode and that was_____
"Insolence! You little brat, do you know who you are talking to?" the blond man shouted after not getting the usual treatment of reverence.
"I am not interested in knowing anything about you___ the only one I believe I inquired of his name was your partner." Everyone held their breath when Bricksoe finished his sentence even Katrina who had remain unfazed by all the commotion reacted and turned to look at Bricksoe with intrigue.
"Let us all calm down and go and discuss this issue at a more appropriate place_____" the other man seeing as the situation was dangerously heading towards a bad direction tried to mediate but___
"You shut up___" the golden haired man shouted at him before turning to Bricksoe. "As for you, you are dead I am gonna_____"
PAAHHHH!
A clear sound rang shocking everyone as they saw a clear handprint on the golden haired man's face. Even he seemed not to believe what had just transpired actually no one believed it even the calm Katrina was shocked.
"I am seriously going to request a pay raise, I told that geezer that I did not want this but he insisted it would be easy. He failed to mention this place will be full of disrespectful and impulsive brats." Bricksoe complained whilst shaking his head with discontent. No matter how one looked at it, he looked to be in his early twenties and the youngest of the four instructors there so hearing him call someone older a brat and even slapping his face was in a nutshell very weird.
"HOW DARE YOU!!" A fiery aura erupted from the man, his golden hair ruffled like man as his demeanor turned feral.
"Sigh__ What is that old man Holokile doing? How can his descendants be so lacking in character? First it was that brat now its you. Come to think of it there is some resemblance between you two, you must be brothers." Probably the most surprising thing he had done this entire day.
"…." Everyone became deathly silent.
Who was this Holokile? Well, in the GZK there where seven powerful and ancient families known as the noble clans these where the: Khumalo, Nxumalo, Govere, Muzenda, Lockshire, Ngwenya and Moyo clans. They each had their own domains and businesses not to mentions the practice of powerful arts. These families held power only second to the Ruling Family the Zimbo family. It is said that their founders where great warriors who fought in the first war that saw the founding of the kingdom. With such history they commanded great authority and where revered and Holokile happened to be the current head of the Khumalo clan a man so powerful he had lived for four centuries and had reached the pinnacle of human power. A war hero who has many times fought for and protected the kingdom from its enemies. A generational genius that was said to have surpassed his predecessors.
Knowing the truth behind the name now it is easier to understand why everyone was shocked to hear a young man saying his name nonchalantly like that.
