66. Mapless Mazes Part 2

"Why is your lover calling us again, huh?" Bond yelled at Spence and kicked him hard in his chest.

"He... Is... Not my lover." Spence struggled to mutter words out of his mouth, which was now filled with blood.

"What? Do you want to give justification?" He bend lower and looked at the pathetic body beneath him.

Pin stared at their fight, which was now no less than that between a lion and it's ring master. Spence law low on the floor, tightly clenching his ailing abdomen. His face had picked up the dust from the floor and it made him look like an injured lion who tried to fight his best. Even so, he could feel a sense of submission.

"Bond, please don't hurt him more." Pin rushed towards Bond and shielded Spence, as he was about to punch another blow at him.

"Pin, you move away!"

He pushed Bond away with a great force, which caused him to fall back on the floor, like Spence. Bond seemed even more angry than before and this time, Pin could swear he could see a devil full of blood lust dancing around in those bloodshot eyes. Bond had become a danger for them.

"Why are you even angry?" Pin mustered up his courage to ask.

"Can't you see? He has slept around with people, and he pretended to be nice with me."

"Even children of a prostitute can become civil servants. How does that change this situation? A person's actions do not show his history, rather they reflect upon his misery."

"He had even cared for me!" Bond exclaimed, as he calmed down.

"Anyone would care for you, Bond. Anyone." Pin muttered.

"Are you implying that I am pathetic to that extent?"

"Not pathetic... Just pitiful. Very pitiful." Pin said as he grabbed Spence on his shoulder and got up.

They both left Bond in the room by himself. Upon reaching the SEC, he propped the half conscious body down. Spence seemed better than before but his wounds sustained. His lips had swollen and there was blood around his mouth. Pin prompted to wipe his face with a tissue but Spence grabbed it from his hand and rubbed his lips vigorously, making the injuries worse.

"Let's go inside." He said as he pointed at the half broken door.

They both entered the room and saw the horrid purple lights flash on their faces. It was enough to resonate with the rising terror in their minds. They entered the room and waited besides Feng Mian and Binh for Haruko to arrive. Suddenly the door was barged open and Bond entered the room, making the atmosphere tense around them.

"Is everything fine among them?" Binh whispered in Feng Mian's ears.

"Doesn't really seem so." He whispered back.

"Yeah, it's not fine." Bond said as he swatted their heads.

At that time, Haruko entered.

He was yet again shining in his rose gold glory and his amethyst eyes glowed with lust, as always. "Good morning everyone!" He exclaimed in his cheerful voice

"Yeah sure, good morning." Bond seemed disinterested.

"Why are you all so gloomy today, cheer up!"

"It's twelve o' clock in the night. What do you expect?" Binh said as he yawned loudly. "Didn't you say we would meet in the morning though?"

"Some great person told that twelve o' clock is early morning." He said while playfully winking at Spence.

Bond was rightfully furious at him.

"Oh my, what happened to you darling?" He said as he rushed towards Spence and began to dab his wounds.

Bond began to curl his wrist into a stable punch.

"Did someone harm you?" Haruko grabbed his face but Spence turned away.

At that point, Bond's fury knew no bounds.

He rushed towards Haruko and pulled him away from Spence, grabbing him by the collar. His hands moved gradually to grab the circumference of the fragile neck in his hands. Haruko's face transitioned from blush pink to almost purple.

"You... Think... You... Are... Chosen ones?" He muttered as he struggled to breathe.

"Well yes that's what you said." Binh answered in a sarcastic voice.

"You... Are wrong... You have been sent here, by... Your own loved... Ones."

At that point, Bond's grip loosened and Haruko was able to break free. He straightened his clothes and dusted off his hat, proceeding to the stage. A screen descending down the ceiling and Haruko picked up his walking stick off the ground.

"Welcome to Bright Leaders Academy. I didn't want to show this now but since your friend requested, I would like to present this video to all. Enjoy!"

The screen switched on and there was an introductory message for a couple of minutes. Right after that, certain faces showed up. The unusual thing however was the fact that they all knew these people.

"Xin Chao. I am Chau from Vietnam and I would like to vote for Binh and Anh as my favorite couple."

"Namaste, I am Maria from India and I would like to choose Spence and Sam as my favorite couple."

"Swasdeekhaap, I am Mon from Thailand and I would choose Bond and Pin as my favorite couple."

"Ni Hao, I am Fan Yang from China and I would choose Feng Mian and Yu Han as my favorite couple."

Right after which, the screen flashed off.

"There were sixteen more, but it's of no use." Haruko said as he stared at the mortified students.
