CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: Heal’s grievance

After what happened in the office of the Head Master or should I say, my big brother, I did not attend my class. For now, I don’t want to see anyone. I locked myself in my room. I heard Jenny tried to talk to me several times same with HaliMau but they did not succeed. And now, I’m okay, so I have to attend to my class now.

As soon as I entered, they immediately feel silent and looked at me. they know that I hate them being noisy so they tried their best not to make any noise. They didn’t know that I also don’t care if they’re going to yell or everything they wanted to do, I just don’t want them to mess with me. That’s all.

In this academy, I could say that I am the Queen even though there are two girls in class S and I don’t belong in class S but still they respect me. Well, now is better because they respect me not because I am part of Lancaster family but because they know that I am one of those strong students that they don’t want to mess with. And in this academy the strong will be respected.

“Goodness. Finally, you showed yourself.” Jenny said to me nad I just nod at her. I know that she’s just worried about me but I just couldn’t tell her what I’ve been through.

“What happened to you?” HaliMau asked but I did not answer.

I just looked outside and stared until our teacher came in. No matter how hard I tried to focus on the teacher’s lesson I still can’t focus. Maybe because I already know the topic that I read countless of times on my sister’s book shelf? This is just a basic.

“Miss, may I excuse Miss Lancaster?”

I looked and I just sighed when I saw Heal. Is she still not tired on pestering me? Well, I am. I have no intention of talking to them.

“Tell me Avalene. Are you teaching Hyokin?”

My brows furrowed. “Huh? Teaching what?” I act innocently.

She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. “You know what I’m talking about here. Stop acting, okay? Yes or no?”

I lean against the wall and cross my arms also and then I looked at her. “What if I said, yes?”

“Why is he the only one? Why can’t we make you teach us? He’s not the only one that wants to improve, us, we also want to be strong to! Why is he the only one that you’re going to teach?” Her voice has a trace of anger.

“As if.” I said and removed my hand from being crossed arm. “You’re crazy. I don’t have any intention in teaching you. If I were to teach Hyokin it would be because he is a Lancaster. He and I are on the same boat.” I was just few steps away when she spoke again.

“I need to save my parents from Denim! That’s why I want to be strong! I need to be strong!” she yelled and all the spectator’s eyes were on us.

Should or should not? of course,

“I have nothing to do with your family. I also have my own problem why would I care with yours? Also, I have no solution for you to get stronger but one thing is for sure, find your weakness. Find your flaws and you will know where you should start.” I answered.

I know that what I’ve said was harsh and it may open up some old wounds on her but I don’t care because that is what she asked for, she want to be strong so I just give her a piece of advice. Its up to her if she will recognize the hint that I gave her or not. We both have loved ones in the hands of Denim but once the Elders find out that I am teaching someone that is not part of Lancaster they will be ruined. Once they find out that I have a friend they will be ruined to. That is also part of my reason why I don’t want to be friend with anyone.

I know how the Lancaster Elder play today, their dirty. They will not stop on hunting me until thy kill me. Of course, I am one of the candidates to become and elders too when I step into an age of fifty but what the hell? I’m just only eighteen! For pate’s sake!

“HaliMau, can you hear me?”

“You’re so mean.”

“Connect Jenny to our conversation.” I said rudely.

“Bossy.”

“Yes?” I heard Jenny said.

“Report to me later at my dorm.” After I said those words, I immediately blocked them again.

I walked down the hallway and I immediately felt a familiar presence, Heal. She immediately approached me and fought me with a sword on her left hand. She’s good in attack and yet she’s weak in terms of defense. I defend myself using my two daggers and since she knows nothing in defense, I immediately give her a side kick that caused him to fly and her back met the wall and it made a crack due to the impact.

We got the attention of the people around us and I know that they want to watch, tsk. This is just an embarrassing moment for class S.

“You have no heart!” she cried as if I’m the one who attack her first but then she rushed towards me.

“Oh nothing, really?” I commented with a smirk.

“You have no heart! You have no care for the people around you! Ah of course, you have no care to the people around you, what do a high class like you know?” she added.

Here we go again with that word. Why don’t they just drop the fact that I am a Lancaster? As if I am being like this because of my family when in fact, I am being like this because I have something to boast of. This weak people really blame the others for their weakness.

Lancaster? Tsk, does she know how I hated the upper hierarchy of the clan now? I inhaled deeply and look at her. For her to know my true power I let her sword met my flesh. I let her wounded me. I got a lot of blood, wounds, and bruises but I did not feel anything at all.

Maybe because I’m already numb from the pain I felt before? I am numb because of the things that happened to me- all of those, I’ve experienced so much that I forgot how to feel the pain anymore, I don’t know how to feel pain physically.

“What do you care about someone like me?” She angrily said and then stabbed me in the heart.

That won’t work for me either. No matter what she’ll do.

The students that watching us gasped as to what they witnessed and they couldn’t believe that a person they looked up the most, a member of class S student could do something cruel. The Heal that they looked up to was like an illusion when they meet the Heal that full of grievance in her eyes. The Heal who they thought was kind and caring became a completely different person. I can’t blame them.

Heal immediately put a distance between with my blood all around her body and then she looked at me shock. The way she reacts I know that someone controlled her but I don’t give a damn.

“Are you done?” I said and I heard the students around us shouting.

I stood up and then I started to fix my body again. Five seconds, it took me five seconds to fix my body because I had a lot of wounds and I had a broken arm. Gradually, everything calmed down and the slit on my neck finally healed. If it was not me, they were dead already but I am not. this is what the curse that I’ve got, this is one of the abilities of my left eye. It’s only a tip of the iceberg.

“Stop!” I looked at the one who yelled and saw the creepy secretary approaching us. “Heal, go to the detention office, now!” she added.

I looked at Heal and I saw fear in her eyes as she looked and she finally came into her mind when that creepy secretary yelled at her.

“All students here go back to your room! In count of three!” Even before she started counting, everyone ran. I have no emotion when I looked at her, “ou have to go to your brother right now.” And then we teleported inside my brother’s office.

If I knew that she had this ability I would have preceded her. I would have left immediately before she even took me here.

“Goodness! For pate’s sake Avalene Abia Lancaster what in the hell is happening here!?” shock, fear, and concern is the emotions that I saw from my brother’s face.

“Is there an extra uniform here? I’m full of my blood, you see.” I said and she just looked at me, “I’ll explain after I change my clothes.” I assured. My older brother just nods his head and told his creepy secretary to bring me an extra uniform.

I think I don’t have to hide this; I don’t have to hide what I have anymore because I know that everyone will be scared of me ad even if I don’t do that, many of them will still be afraid of me. the thing that I’m afraid of is that they would find out what I can do, those Denims and the Elders of the clan. I have two enemy and it will be hard for me to find my real ally.

I changed my clothes and then sat on the comfort room’s floor.

“What a scene.” She said and handed me a cookie. “Here you go. Eat this to restore your strength.” She added and I immediately ate the cookie that she gave me. “What do you think you’re thinking, ha? Why did you do that?”

“As if you did not enjoy the show. I know you’re watching.”

She chuckled, “Well, let’s change the topic. Anyways, are you really going to tell them?”

“What can I do?” and then I closed my eyes. “It will not help me if I keep it to myself and I just realize now that even if my older brother is weak, he’s still here for me, I know that he still has a grasp in the higher ups. The Elders won’t be able to hurt him anymore.”

“Anyway, the Elders are not that close to the people in the higher ups.”

I nod, “Yeah.”

I close my eyes and I felt that she’s staring at me. I could still feel what was around me.

“Are you ready to tell everything? I mean, can you already tell them everything without crying?”

“What am I? A kid?”

“You know that there’s a consequence when you tell your secret to others.”

“The Elder will kill me like how they kill my mom and dad? No, I won’t let that happen. You won’t leave me, will you?” She smiled at me and then combed my hair with her hand.

“Will I still leave you? I will just kill myself. I know you Avabil so I will not be going to leave you, no matter what happen. You’re not like the others who only thinks of themselves, you’re not like my former partner. I won’t let you go.”
