CHAPTER SEVEN: The visit of the Clan Elders

Weeks had passed and thank goodness that no one was approaching me. Ah, tsk, although sometimes I feel like I want to bond with them, I’m still a human and I feel a little bit jealous. Although I felt that way, I still controlled myself because I came here not to be friends with them but to learn so I resist the urge of talking to them. One time there’s a girl night out and they invited me to join them but I refused. Not because I don’t want to but because I don’t want to harm them.

My mind is a mess, right? I don’t but I want. I don’t want them to get close to me because they will just ruin their life because of my curse. I admit I want to join them because it looks like fun but of course I resist the temptation. Ah, I hope I can be like them, can smile whenever they want and whatever the reason. They seem like they don’t have any problem.

In a few weeks, I have done nothing but to study and train, I want to be strong so I force myself at my limit. I want to surpass my limit because I want to save my sister.

I am in the cafeteria right now and as usual, I am here at the very end and darkest part of this place. So far, I can hear them all talking and whispering, gossiping something.

“Is that true?”

“Of course, it’s true! I seriously saw the Elders of Lancaster family and their aura is too strong to handle. I felt like they are going to kill me in instant. Even their knights are strong.”

I stood up and walked out of the cafeteria while they were whispering about the elder of our clan. I could hear them but they just continue whispering about it and while they’re gossiping about it, they looked at me. as if it would affect me. The noisy cafeteria becomes quiet when a pair of men and women entered the vicinity. They’re wearing the class S uniform that they don’t deserve.

They’re not strong to be called a member of class S. They’re full of weaknesses and flaws when they are fighting.

“Avaline Abia Lancaster?” the woman asked and I just looked at her and she looked annoyed for what I did to her. “Someone is looking for you.” She said angrily.

“I know,” I said softly and passed between them.

“Just because you’re a Lancaster you can act as you pleased?” I looked at the man holding my arm.

If I hadn’t lost my emotion, if my old self hadn’t died, maybe I was already writhing in pain from his grip. It’s too much for the old me to handle, luckily, I am not her anymore.

“It’s not because you are in S class it means that you’re strong. I saw your battle with our teachers against the denim last week. All I can say is that your group is not deserving of your position. You’re nothing compare to the previous class S. You are class S in your classroom and name only. For strength? All of you are below class S. Maybe, B or C.” I said and I violently remove my arms from his grip. “You’re weaker than me so you can’t say that just because of my family I can do whatever I want. I have the strength to brag, unlike your group. I warn you all, one more time, don’t connect my attitude to my clan’s name.”

I left them shocked and gaping. I walked towards the open field which is in front of the academy gate. Elders are not allowed to enter the academy. Just because they’re elders, they have the privilege, no. this is the reason why my sister thinks that this place is safe.

They can’t enter because there tends that they will destroy it, in reality, they’re not strong enough to enter here also to approach me so they will force me to join them to increase their strength. As if I would join their wicked plan. I may not know the details of their plan but I have this feeling that they are up to nothing good.

They are all not that strong and those who are in the Demonioum World, are the real one, the strong one. There is nothing strong in us because of our heart, we have mercy and lobe. When the students noticed me, they immediately give way to me and even my classmates were here and I could see the fear in their faces.

I hate it. are they afraid that something bad will happen to me? Are they really afraid of me? Silly, they have no right to be afraid because they have no place in my life.

When the Elders saw me, they immediately looked at me intently, and at the same time, the main knights stood and give me a greeting stand.

“You will come with us whether you like it or not.” Elder Uno insisted.

I don’t want to call them by their name because it makes me want to vomit. I just stared at them and then they smiled at me.

“It’s good that you thought of coming with us.” Elder Dos said with too much confidence.

Conceited much eh. He seems to be so sure that I will come with them. Huh, as if.

“You don’t have to study here. You’re powerful enough-“

I didn’t let Elder Tres continue what he was going to say and so I noticed the annoyance on the faces of these three elders.

“Powerful enough to destroy the clan? So, when you get the grip tip of me, you will use my taika, and then when you already successful and accomplished it is time for you to shut me up, right? You’ll be going to kill me.” I said.

I heard people gasp at what they heard from me. That is also the reason why they backed away a little. Good, if you don’t want to get hurt, withdraw.

“What are you talking about? They’ll just want to take you home.” Said, someone. I know that voice, he is a class S member and part of the Lancaster clan.

“You don’t know anything about the clan, shut up.”

“I am also a Lancaster.” He said with so much dignity.

I rolled my eyes and said, “I know. You’re a low-level Lancaster. So, please, shut up. You know nothing about the higher part of the clan.” I said angrily and he was surprised. I looked at the three old men in front of me and said, “Leave this place in an instant. I have no intention nor plan of going with you.”

“We’ll not be going to “

“You’ll not going to kill me but you have a plan to torture me.” I said and cutting Elder Dos, “You can’t fool me. I know everything and that is the reason why you are so eager to kill me.”

Elder Tres give the knights a signal to fight me and the knights draw their swords against me. So, I immediately draw my sword as well and fight with them. I used my own technique and this technique is only known by me and my sister because this technique is the secret to how I bring my sister down even without using my taika.

This technique is valuable so there is only me and my sister knew about it.

I slash my right sword and my left sword now directly to my side the reason why the two main knights have a very serious wound. I won’t give them mercy because that is what they asked for. This is what they want they I will give them what they want.

This view is quite interesting for the others to watch so I immediately finished the fight that they started. I make sure that the three knights could not stand anymore. Not until they recover, I guess for at least a year and a half?

“Tell your future lord or your Lancaster’s head that I won’t fall into his hand. Not now, later, and never! I won’t pledge my loyalty to the person who killed my whole family. My mother, my father, my grandparents, and my brother. No matter what you do, I will always one step ahead.” I turn my back at them and then turn around again when I forgot to tell them something, “And oh, please tell him that any dirty trick won’t work at me. Please save his dirty trick on someone that will fall for it.”

I immediately left and went straight to my dorm room and there I cried so hard. I held my chest while crying with so much pain, so much pain and so much anger. Even though I want to kill them all, I restrain myself. I am not like denim. I won’t slaughter an innocent. I hate denim, I hate Lancaster!

I hate them!

I scream at the top of my lungs just to get rid of the pain that I feel inside, but no matter what I do, no matter how much I cried and how much I scream it still here. The pain does not go away. While I was feeling the pain, I felt like someone is hugging me.

“It’s okay now, sister-in-law. I’m here.”

“Meilin…” I said while crying and cried so hard once again.

Why am I experiencing this? I just want to have a simple life. I just want a happy life with the people I love.

“You cried again.”

“I can’t help, it hurts so much. Blame those worthless Elders instead of me.” I said angrily.

“But, Abia,” she called me and I looked at her, “You can’t be always like that. At least you have to fight the darkness that eating you bit by bit.”

“If that happens to me, will you kill me?”

“Of course, not! Why do I have to kill you if I can accompany you?”

“Ah, you really are my taika.”

“I love you, Abia. I like it when someone’s hurting you but I can’t do anything about it. I don’t want anyone to hurt you with their low-leveled taika. If they did, then I can kill them. They are the ones I’m going to kill, not you.”

“Ah, how sweet. Am I going to say, I love you too?” and I laughed.

“I would love to hear it.” and then she also laughed but then it also stopped immediately. “It’s good that somehow you can still give me a natural smile and laugh. Somehow, you haven’t died, Abia.”

“I left some of my old traits for you and my sister.”
