Tuesday, 5:00 PM
*Ring*
The bell signified the end of the class as the last teacher left the class. Students groaned as they stretched their bodies in relief. Every Tuesday and Thursday was always solely dedicated to Combat Training, the most troublesome of all courses.
Quite unusual, Kaiser waited until the class was empty before glancing at his neighbor.
Hazel had a dark expression on her face as she turned mechanically to face him.
Her brown eyes had a hint of red glow as she glared furiously at him.
"Why? Why did you say that?" She growled as her fists tightened.
"Say what?" Kaiser feigned a confused expression and asked innocently.
"Don't bullshit me!" She snapped "Every whisper you said was about me, my family, my relationships and everything you shouldn't know! How did you know?!"
"Oh- I read it in a book" as if coming to a realization, Kaiser nodded his head and gave a vague reply.
Totally furious, Hazel launched at him with the intent of stabbing him with a small dagger. Although quite irrational from an outsider's perspective, she expected him to dodge the 'very obvious' attack.
If only she knew...
Slice!
The sound of flesh being cut apart filled her ears and snapped her out of her stupor.
'Huh?'
Warm blood flowed on her hand before she realized that Kaiser had made no effort to dodge her attack.
'N-no way!'
Her mind screamed danger as she looked up at the shoulder she had stabbed. The blue jacket had turned black from the blood flowing through it. Fear and Horror quickly grasped her mind as she realized the expression on his face.
Kaiser's blank face was replaced by a cold and emotionless expression as he looked silently at her.
His face didn't twitch even a little as he shocked her more by grabbing her wrist and pulling downward.
The sensation of more flesh being cut made her eyes widen in shock as she tried to resist the pull of his hand only to fail miserably
"N-no. Stop!"
She screamed in desperation as tears smeared her beautiful face.
'Ah'
Kaiser gasped internally as he felt ecstatic seeing the image of the cold Hazel being ruined.
'How amusing'
"Look"
With his other hand, he pointed at the camera at the corner of the class, increasing the girl's despair.
"Haven't you been quite unreasonable?"
His voice was ice coressed her, almost as if she was a stranger.
"You think other people are below you. Your foolish superiority complex which was built from your inferiority is your flaw. You don't register others as equal and think yourself to be higher than anyone else" He criticized "And I hate that"
"So..." Removing the dagger from his body, he distanced himself from her, his movements unimpaired like he wasn't injured.
"Enjoy your last 48 hours in the school premises"
.
..
...
....
Hazel's heart sinked as she realized the implicationnof his words.
"No! Please! No!" She cried desperately but her cries fell on deaf ears- literarily.
...
At the infirmary, the nurse examined Kaiser's injury with a grave look.
"How did this happen?"
"Training Dummy" Kaiser replied vaguely.
The nurse narrowed her eyes, but seeing that he didn't want to reveal more, she chose to overlook the topic. "You'd have to remove your shirt if I want to heal that"
Kaiser's eyes narrowed slightly but he complied and removed his shirt. Immediately, the nurse's eyes widened at his sculpted body which was marred with dark, tape-like marks running from his torso to his biceps.
"W-what is that?"
The nurse asked in a nervous voice.
"Ah! Just a mark, don't mind it"
Kaiser waved it off with a mundane comment, his expression as bland as always.
"But-"
"Enough" he stated, firmly.
Realizing her own intrusion, she silently backed off and proceeded to heal the wound. It only took 5 minutes and a quarter of her essence to totally heal it.
"200 points"
Swiping his card through the machine, he successfully paid the treatment fee before leaving the infirmary.
Picking his phone, he realized it was loaded with missed calls and messages from Hazel.
'How desperate' he wondered 'Don't worry, you'll soon be ready'
With a faint smirk, he typed a message then turned off his phone.
"Let me see how desperate you can get Hazel, Show me..."
