Chapter 8
- Zenith's Point of View
- After I consumed all of the Old man’s cooked delicious meals, I was so full! This is my second time but it really is delicious…
- "Mark, thank you very much. I'm full," I said and then handed him the fee.
- I know he won't accept it but he really deserves it so I just put it on the table and left.
- I'm ready to pay no matter how much as long as I can just eat something so delicious like that again, it's also comforting because of what I eat with us.
- When I came out, I saw Vior leaning there. What else does he want? Tch! I pretended not to notice or see him then kept walking.
- "Wait a min-Come on, Zenith!" I heard it shout, aish!
- I looked at him and then he approached. "Why?" I'm bored question here.
- "Uhmm, what's the matter, h-how are you? I can talk to Reme to treat you," he was obviously embarrassed because he stammered. Tsk.
- "No need, I'm fine," I said bluntly.
- "I'm sorry for what happened earlier, I don't want to hurt you like that," he said.
- Now, I'm getting bored. "It already happened, I can't do anything neither do you."
- I walked again but he followed.
- "Are you sure your okay? Your wounds?" he asked further.
- Did he follow me just to irritate?! Tsk.
- "It hurts but it's okay," I answered holding back, my head just heating up.
- "Uhmm, about what happened before? I hope it doesn't happen again so that no one gets hurt," he said softly but enough for me to hear.
- I sighed because of that. "Don't worry, I have no intention of ending you all even if it's a bit redundant really for me."
- I have also found reasons and I need to find out from Genesis.
- "If you just can forgive the others, I'm saying this on their behalf."
- I narrowed my eyes at him. "It's not your fault for that part, so don't be sorry. Just thank your friend, the fortune teller because I know she's the one who told you what will happen," I was referring to the woman named Reminisce.
- That one was also thorny so I had no intention of killing her in the first place.
- "Ah, yes, so the whole academy is keeping her very much because of the unique power she has. We know the future just because of her," he said truthfully.
- "But you can't change that anymore. When she guessed it was me, she saw the end of the world and I was one of those who did it. I'm telling you this to alert you, if you're planning to kill me? Try if you can," I said.
- "I won't do that. If that thing ever happens, I'm ready to save you," he said seriously.
- I smiled. "Before all that. Get stronger first because as long as I can withstand your electricity, you can't save me," I replied as he stopped so I left him there.
- Psh! I hope so…
- The next day, after I entered. A few eyes were still staring at me but I just ignored them and continued to look for my class.
- Tch! You will think that it is not just for rehearsing and strengthening your power, you will actually study yourself which I hate the most of all.
- "Ehem. What can I do for you, Zenith?" there was an emphasis on the name I heard from behind.
- I faced who it was, always wearing a hat.
- "Nothing, I'm just looking for my class," I said.
- Suddenly one of his eyebrows rose. Cool! "Hmm, based on the color of the card you're holding, you're Class A which is my class. If you look at me, psh! Let's go," he said and then went first.
- To him? I thought it was Four Eyes, but unfortunately I was wrong. I just followed him and took me to a room.
- When we arrived, those present warriors were obviously shocked that I was following. I immediately looked for a seat and let them go.
- "Our bad luck…"
- "Just shut up, you're here to study not to be a gossip."
- "Are you kidding? Haishh! I'm just scared because Zenith was still our classmate."
- "So just shut up," I heard a whisper when I was on my right, I just looked at them but they both avoided me. Tsk.
- "Okay class, good morning to you all. I'm sure you already know about your two new classmates so there's no need to waste time. I'm Rhimean Grind, Ranger of the Warriors or should I say, the Chief of Warriors and I will be your professor on Earth Science, English Literature and Vocabulary, also Basic Mathematics for the whole school year. I will also be with you in all your training here at the academy with the other warriors so you can get used to it. Any questions?"
- "None, professor," they said at once. More likely robots.
- "Outstanding. Now, get your book on English Literature and turn it on page 497," he said.
- Book? But I didn't have it and it's a good thing I didn't have it then.
- "Uhmm, Professor Grind?" he was called by my opponent yesterday.
- I was even surprised because I didn't seem to hit him and it seemed like nothing happened against him because it was really good.
- Interesting...
- "Yes, Mr. Rezilla?" Rhimean asked.
- "I don't have a book, Professor," he replied, maybe I'll hook it too.
- "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You and Ms. Aspen need to get yours to the Class S Rank 7 student, Mr. Manuever Torrenueva. You may get yours now…" said Rhimean.
- Rezilla stood up and turned to me, should I be with him too? Psh. I just got up and went out first.
- It looks like you're going to say goodbye and it took a while to follow. Hayst.
- "Oh? You're still here? I thought, you're already ahead," he said to me to get out and see me.
- "I don't know where," I said and then walked away.
- "Why did you lead if you didn't know?" he asked, this man is also another. Chitchat.
- "I just don't want to get involved in your conversation and then I have no intention of getting a book," I replied and took a lollipop.
- "Huh? You're not going to take it? Why did you come along?" he asked in succession.
- It must have been his mouth that I sprayed yesterday. Tch!
- "Ask yourself," that was my only answer.
- He was a little more thoughtful before being enlightened by what I was referring to.
- "Ahh… when I turned to you? I thought you would take it too but you didn't," he said.
- "It happened, and then I don't want to go back there."
- "All right, by the way? I'm sorry about yesterday, I underestimated you too much," he changed the subject.
- "Mmm. There's no need, it's over. If you still think I'm going to kill you after that? You're wrong. It's enough that I punished you," I said.
- "Yes, but I'm fine because Reme was the one who treated me."
- I thought about what he said, was Reme the one who passed quickly yesterday? He is good.
- "It's good then."
- "Eh, are you? I broke one of your arms, didn't I? Was that also treated by Reme?" he continued on my bandaged arm, I shook.
- "No, I was the only one who treated myself and then I didn't break much," I said.
- He smiled. "You're really strong for a woman, but are you okay?"
- "My wounds are just painful but it's okay."
- "I'm Kindred Genos Rezilla, I'm a cyborg. We didn't know each other well before the fight," he said and then reached out but I didn't accept.
- "Hmm, Zenith."
- He withdrew his hand and smiled. "Nice to meet you, Zenith. You just impressed me," he replied.
- Don't we have there? Tch.
- "Me too but I don't know that men are more talkative than women." he looks stunned, thanks…
- "I'm sorry. Here we are, here's the Manuever class behind that door."
- We stopped at a large door.
- "All right, let's go in," I said and pushed the door open first.
- I saw Four Eyes. "Zenith? What are you doing here Kindred?" he was surprised but I didn't answer and prompted my companion.
- "Ms. Palm, Professor Grind sent us here to talk to Manuever about the book," he replied.
- "Is that so? Mr. Torrenueva, you may excuse."
- I looked at what he called, he was one of those who stopped me yesterday. Vior caught my eye, psh! Talkative man.
- "Looks like, both of you are now okay? Come…" said Manuever when he approached us, he immediately followed with me so I was like that and left the room.
