Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

"Lady Martina?"

"H-huh? What is it, Shikari-san?" I was startled hearing her voice when I was thinking about Asuka conditions.

"You was zoning out...what were you thinking?" She asked with a worried face. I shook my head and smiled gently at her.

"Nothing important.." i blurt out as i look at what teacher is teaching.

...

I scowled at Lady Martina's remark. After speaking with that Asuka girl the past two days, she has recently been zoning out.

'She probably thinking about that girl...' Although Asuka is stunning, she is on the evil side. I was concerned Lady Martina might be wounded. I find it sad that she has only been thinking about that girl. Well, I will just see what Lady Martina up to...

We headed to the cafeteria as usual after class. I should bring her some sweets, perhaps. She then smiled warmly as she turned to face me.

"I'll need to talk to someone, i hope you don't mind...?" She spoke to me while looking desperate. Again?? She probably meeting Asuka again... ugh I should stop being jealous over small thing..

"Sure but be careful, okay?"

"Heh i always safe!" She said with a proud face. Well she's because i always protecting her...

"Well then, see ya!" She said as she run and waved at me. I waved back and put on a happy expression. My expression completely darkened as soon as she left my line of sight. I really detest these feelings.

Maybe I had to clarified something about that Asuka girl... I just had to make sure that Lady Martina is not threatened to met her everyday.. i'm surely not stalking her, yea!

Until she made a sharp turn around the corner, I silently followed her. I get nervous and hastily move to the corner. In case they are conversing, I lean against the corner wall with my back.

"Have you talked to them?" I heard Lady Martina said. What does she meant by that?

"I did but they just gave me a disgusting glare..." i heard Asuka voice replied to her. Is she talking about the other Evils?

"Hm..well there's no point trying... did you have anything intresting happen?" Lady Martina asked her. I can sense that Asuka is hesitating.

"Um..there is.."

...

I woke up on my rough bed sleepily. I looked around my room with an sleepy face. Ugh i hate this dorm... it make me hard to sleep..

I then head over to the class, and lean down my head on the table as my surroundings is just so loud and annoying. My eyes get heavier every second and i eventually fell asleep on my table.

"HEY WOKE UP, TRASH!" My ear picked up our teacher screaming. I was startled by the loud noise and immediately sat up straight. I thought my ear is gonna bleed.. the other students just laugh at me. How humiliating...

"Well now! All of you trash need to show others your magic!" Our teacher said. Some of the students were chatting about their magic and stuff.

"Oi! You black shirt guy!" He screamed at the emo guy beside me. The guy immediatly stand up.

"Show us your magic, dxckhead!" He yelled at the guy. He nodded quietly and hold up his hand.

"" He softly murmurs. Then he felt some sort of dust coming from his palm. Then, the dust moved and took the shape of arrows. The nearby students were in awe.

'Is that the added elements?..' i never heard of it but maybe its the combination of their parents element that father told me..

"Dust magic! Amazing... it can make people blind!" Teacher grinned proudly and remarked. Are these folks truly so driven to kill...? He then glared at me uncomfortably. Oh sh*t, turn away.

"YOU SLEEPYHEAD! YOU NEXT" He yelled at me while pointing. I'm dead... I nodded and breath out as I stare at my palm. My mark is shaped like a horn and is a pale pink colour. It has been my favourite colour ever since learning what my mark is, so let's try to impress them out.

"" I sputter out. On my hand, a floating ball of water then began to emerge. The students there were all a little surprised, and some of them were laughing at me. Oh, this is the worst.

Yes, Water element is pretty basic for people. Some of them claimed the element of water was useless.

"Hm? Water element? Well atleast your magic is quite usefu-"

"Huh! That was completely trash, sir!" The insane woman, who happily dipped her face in the bowl of strange liquid a few days ago, spoke. She gets up and kick my chair off. I'm a coward, of course.

"Let me show you the real magic!" She yelled and then she hold up her hand in the air.

"" She screamed. Then many of bugs start to appear suddenly. Then they all surrounded her. She beckoned at me slowly. Oh sh*t, all the insects quickly scurried over to me.

"Oo~ insects magic! Its kinda useless but well lets see what it can do!" Teacher said and then sit on his chair.

"What!? CANT YOU HELP ME?!" I yelled and tries to get all the insects off me. I'M GONNA FAINT THIS IS DISGUST ME!!!(no offense to insect lovers) and with all my panics, i went uncontrolable.

"" i yelled out and then my body turn into liquid that called water. The bugs that covering me then fall and i could say that they drown in the water i make...(again, no offense to insect lover)

"OH NO! MY BUGGIES!" She shouted aloud before scooping up the bugs' dead bodies. I then reshaped into my regular body. I regret what I did, no doubt.

"YOU! HOW DARE Y-" she lift up her fist but then a shadow stopped her hand. It then started to covering her arms as she tried to get it away from her arm.

"OWWW IT EATING MY ARM!!" She yelled and then she fall to the ground. What is happening!?

"HEY SLEEPYHEAD STOP IT!" Teacher yelled and then get up from his seat.

"I-i didnt do it!" I said as i backing away. The black shirt guy get up and place his hand on my shoulder.

"Maybe you can stop it!?" He whisper to me. I tremble in fear when i understood what he want me to do.

"S-STOP IT!" After I yelled, there was a brief period of silence. After that, the shadow shifted its position and emerged as a tall, middle-aged man. His pale skin almost gave him a vampire appearance. He has brown hair and slightly reddish eyes. He glared at me subtly.

"You're interesting..." he said and then he vanish in black ash. I was stunned at what the man said. Who was he?

"Master luis!?" Teacher said with a pale face. Luis...? What a weird name.. but master....? Is he a lord or sum? He then glared at me.

"What does he see in you that make him come out again!?" He yelled. Is everyone like to yell?

"I-"

"Ugh! Whatever, class dismiss!" He yelled out and then the students all run out expect for me walking out quietly.

...

What task did that man have? Is he a pervert for suddenly expressing interest in someone?

"Thats a weird case.." Lady Martina said. I just quietly heard Lady Martina opinion.

"But that Luis guy, is he handsome?" Lady Martina blurt out. Ugh i forgot that Lady Martina is obsessed with handsome guys.

"Y-yea kinda" Asuka said as i can heard her embarrased voice. Lady Martina huffed.

"Well, i think you have to be careful about that man.." Lady Martina said and then continue.

"I think that he had a bad plan.." she said again.

"But i don't know that you're a Water magic user!" Excitedly, Lady Martina said. I chuckle softly as I observe Lady Martina's soft side. Recently, Lady Martina has studied magic; as a result, she is the most knowledgeable about all magic. Perhaps I should have had more trust in Asuka.

"Y-yea but i can't really control it well.." she said as i can hear upset tone.

"Don't worry, you can always practice!" As I heard Lady Martina touching or tapping Asuka's shoulder, she muttered something. Lady Martina always gave anyone a positive motivation. Thats what I like about her. When I made mistakes or when my brother couldn't hold the sword properly, she came to my aid.

"If that all the infomation you got, then i will end this conversation.." Lady Martina state and then she continue her speech.

"Because i know Shikari is waiting for me. I didnt want an upset expression appear on her pretty face.." She exclaimed joyfully while clapping her hands. P-pretty... face? Lady Martina is complimenting me? I sit on the soft grass and put my palm over my face. My ears are becoming hotter and my face is really red. I sigh silently as I hear the phrase 'rigging.' It makes me joyful in some way. I-i love it...

...

"Ah! Shikari-san! Sorry if i'm a little bit late.." I yelled as I sprinted over to her in the cafeteria. She was sitting there, fixated on the desserts on her platter. She had a happy look when she heard me talk. I sigh as I sit next to her. She constantly has a pleasant smile on her face.

"Don't worry Lady Martina! I already got out sweets!" After saying that, she took the miniature cupcake and extended it to me. She waits for me to take a mouthful while holding the cupcake to my lips.

"Ah you don't have t-"

"I resist!" She said while still had the sunshine smile on her face. I had a small shade of red on my cheek as i take a bite out of it.

"D-did something happen when i'm not here??" I was a little confuse at her sudden behavior.

"No! Nothing, Lady Martina!" She answered cheerfully. She keeps giving me sweets even though I can just see out the little hearts floating all around her. This is perplexing.
