Chapter 10 - I RODRIGUEZ PRUDENCE CLAY CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL TO THE DEATH.

KENAN

It felt like my brain exploded the moment he spoke and I couldn't comprehend words anymore. I'm pretty sure he didn't just say what I just heard right? I get that I am the most powerful student here but we both made the decision to keep that a secret. I was about to refute the statement when the fit guy jumps up and speak.

"Prof I'm not trying to demean your authority but I would advise you reconsider this decision sir. There are others better fit for the position than him" he says boastful and I push down the urge to gag in disgust.

"And who do you think is best fit" Prof asks mockingly pulling his legs and setting a mind trap for him and he falls into it without much effort.

"Well for starters, not only am I the most powerful outcast student" he says proudly

"Who told you that?"Prof replies with a mischievous smirk on his face and the guy stutters

"I'm also well trained in power usage and leadership skills, to top it all I'm also a royal unlike this half baked filthy thing of a norm who basically knows next to nothing about magic or leadership" he continues and Prof rolls his eyes as he spits out his description of me with irritation expressing his clear hatred for me. How lovely, an enemy on my first day, beautiful.

"If I try to understand your statement Mr Clay, you are trying to override my decision or what?" Prof says feigning anger making him shiver visibly and shake his head rigorously "I hope not because my decision stands" Prof continues and at this I get up to speak.

"I'm surprised and disappointed to say this but I'll have to agree with that arrogant oaf of an asshole there" I say and Prof glares me "I don't have the qualification to be the Alpha and most importantly I cannot be responsible for anyone except myself not to talk of all these people, I don't even freaking know them" I point out and Prof doesn't drop the glare.

"My decision is final, you are the Alpha and no one else" he says slamming the table and almost immediately the bell rings "Well I guess that is it for today then, We meet again tomorrow " he says and giving us a faint smile and disappears into thin air . Since I never unpacked my bag when I came in I pick it up and head out the door to my next class. I successfully escaped the prying eyes of the pack members and head to my first original class of the day. The class was very spacious and the room was basically surrounded by large windows with no wals at all. It was like being outdoor and I just dont know how we could see the sky on the second floor. 

I was the first and only students to enter the skyview classroom, so I greet the teacher and stand behind as I waited for other students to enter but a few seconds later the class starts.

"Good day to you boy and welcome to your first Air Elemental Control class. I'm Prof Wilson. In this class you will be learning how to not only control but also manipulate the air to your advantage" He says and snaps his finger and the empty class was filled with air as the large windows open up

"Now seat on the floor cross legged and close your eyes" He say pausing for a while and walking round the class to make sure I obeyed the command. He really is dramatic, up here acting like he was teaching a full "this week we will start with something basic and very easy. I want you to form a ball of air by manipulating the air around you" he says and goes on to give the usual look inside yourself speech.

I close my eyes and focus doing exactly what he says but for some reason I couldn't feel anything. For some it came very easy and they called it quickly, others took longer but they later did it. As for me, I couldn't even feel a spark in me not to talk of calling on anything. I kept trying but nothing happened. Prof Wilson walks up to me.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine, not everyone gets it on the first try" he says trying to encourage me and it sure as hell wasn't working so I nod. I don't need your sympathy I need a solution to my problems. Being the only one in the class he was either forcing me to try to redo it or just put in an extra effort. Since I could do nothing I just sat watching him go on and on about hardwork for the whole class. The bell rings signalling the end of my torture and joyfully I pack my things and head out the door.

I was walking the hallway briskly trying to let out my frustration. I don't really feel or even notice someone running after me until I feel a tap on my shoulders. I react almost immediately holding the person's hand and throwing him over my shoulder and unto the floor. I was about to hit a huge punch to the person's chest when he raises his hands in the air and screams.

"Hey it's just me" he says trying to get out of my hold but I put more pressure on it earning a satisfactory groan from him.

"And who the hell are you, might I ask?" I say and he groans in pain again so I loosen my hold on him a little, just enough to ease the pain before he replies

"I'm a member of your class, I was seated at your front during homeroom" he explains and as soon as the words drop from his mouth I remember him and let him go. He stretches his muscles and gets up as I help him pick up all his stuffs littered on the ground.

"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to do that, it was just reflex" I apologize and he shrugs me off.

"No problem Alpha, I understand." He says and I quickly shush him. I didn't want that getting out so fast even though we were the only ones in the hallway.

"Would you tune it down on the alpha thing please" I say cocking my eye at him and he fakes a mouth zipping.

"By the way, I'm Bryan at your service alpha" he says and I shake my head mentally facepalming at how stupid the guy was as we start walking to our next class.

"Kenan" i reply and we shook hands "I'm headed to History, where are you going" I ask and he smiles placing his glasses well. Being a non magical class history was to be taken in the main building so we had to walk all the way there with only 10 mins to spare. 

"Same class" he says and we keep walking. The walk to the class was weird with us getting weird looks of disgust from everyone we met. It was like we were not meant to exist in their midst, like we were filth. We chat and I surprisingly like him, he was nice, friendly and very blunt. The rest of the first half of the day was almost the same with me meeting my friends in class. History was interesting as usual and I had the class with Brian and Meon.

Prof Vuild used the whole class to ask questions from everyone on the origin of magic. All Norms couldn't answer and from the answers we heard the Aristocrat giving we were right not to because the answers were very confusing.

Maths was the craziest and extremely boring and that was also with Brian and Meon. Once the bell rang it brought the sound of freedom. I quickly packed my stuff and head out of the class. Prof Caruso is confirmed the most boring teacher I have ever met. I head to lunch in the company of Meon and Brian chatting about our class.

'"How the hell do you find that class interesting, because I was this close to dozing off" I reply shocked at how much they loved the class.

"No knowledge is wasted and the topic was a very interesting one" Brian replies cheerfully. I wonder how he still had this much energy and vibrance at lunch. I take my seat on our table where Kai and Lei were already chatting. I guess they never took the words of the lecturer to heart like me.

"Hey guys, how y'all doing" I greet as I take my seat and they reply with smile

"Hi we're fine and can see you have a visitor" Lei says immediately Brian seats giving the look and I roll my eyes at him as he twitches awkwardly on his seat.

"Guys this is Brian a member of my class. Brian my friends" I say introducing them and they all greet him and immediately all things went back to normal. We eat our lunch and chat

"Speaking of classes, how's the new Alpha of the Outcast Class doing" Lei says teasing me and I glare her.

"I'm not really into the position yet and it feels like a huge responsibility but it is what it is" I reply and they all start teasing me

"It is a huge responsibility, not only are you the Alpha of the Outcasts. You can also become the Alpha to all the students of the school if you work hard. I don't envy you bro" Brian says and I cock a questioning look to him and he shrinks at my stare.

"You've got to be kidding me" I say and shake my head. I was still trying to wrap my head around this new information when my table was banged. I look up and lo and behold it was the same asshole from homeroom. "What the freaking hell do you want from me b**ch" I snap in frustration not out to be friends at all and he frowns at me.

"Do you really believe you can become the Alpha of that class on my watch" he asks a huge scowl present on his face and I chuckle

"And who the freaking hell do you think you are to ask me that by the way. Last I checked you are still a member of my class" I reply taunting him and he turns a deeper shade of red. It's working, very good 

"I will never be under a norm. I don't even know what the professor sees in you but it won't happen" he yells bursting out in anger. I roll my eyes and smirk

"Well they ain't nothing you goan do about it, I've been chosen remember" I reply and this was his turn to laugh

"Surprisingly there is something I can do about it" he says a devilish smirk on his face, oh this can't be good at all. I have seen that look before on my mom husband's face and that was when he was going to play the bastard card. He had the same look meaning he was ready to play his final card for that position. He stands straight like he was about to make a command before speaking.

"by the laws of the gods and this prestigious school. I Rodriguez Prudence Clay, challenge you to a duel to the death for the position of Alpha of the Outcast Class and the whole school. Do you accept" he says loud enough for the whole school to hear. By now the attention of everyone in the hall was on us and the whole hall gasps. Complete silence fills the hall and I burst into laughter. Everyone had suprised expression as they don't understand why I was laughing.

"Your middle name is Prudence. Who in the world names thier son Prudence" I say bursting into laughter and my friends join in the laughter and everyone else couldn't laugh at him but I hear them snicker under their breaths even his girlfriend. I knew this was serious as I just heard him say a duel to the death but the name was just too funny. I am so happy that my parents never gave me such a shitty ass name. We laugh for a while before we all calm down

The rational part of me was screaming to take it serious and not to accept but my damn pride which kinda will be my downfall one day pushed me to the edge. He starts to storm out in anger but he wouldn't be going scot free like that.

"Wait Prudey, as for the crazy duel. I ACCEPT" and that was how I sealed my fate.
