Chapter 12

"Control" I creased my eyebrows more as I heard what Vhon whispered to me when he passed by.

What am I a child??

I know what to do and how to control myself. I mean I may lose my control one time in that park with those thugs but I know I can handle myself better now. Because of all the training and all that. Courtesy of Nicho.

I just clicked my tongue in irritation.

Anyways, I'm actually surprised with what's happening in this P.E. class. This is totally not what I'm expecting and I'm feeling excited with just the thought of fighting a creature that may or may not be skilled to defeat me as of now.

I almost jump around here in excitement. Almost.

However there's still this irritation inside me to the fact that I don't know anything about that Grand Trial. This fight will determine who'll be my partner for that for Pete's sake! Yet I still don't know what will happen in that trial.

The teacher took some kind of pink dust from the bag hanging in his waist and tossed it upwards in the air resulting in it falling like little snow from above.

I watched carefully as I saw a girl figure with wings slowly form from the dust. My irritation was abandoned.

Cool…

Seconds later the figure became a real creature in front of me. A girl that has long black hair and a slender figure. But what I'm interested in the most is how beautiful her wings are. It has the colors of light pink and yellow making intricate patterns demanding attention from whoever sees the girl. There's also a butterfly antenna suited for her.

It's obvious that she's a butterfly.

I'm not feeling even a bit of shame if I'm staring at her as I also saw her staring at me.

However my irritation came back as I saw her stare at Zach after.

The hell this butterfly has a crush with Zach…

Well what can I do, animals attract each other.

I simply communicated with her through my mind and told her 'Look, I know he's attractive and all that- what the heck??- but could you simply just pick Sapphire? She's my friend so I assume she's special to me'

'As you wish… Rose'

I froze in my place as I heard her response. Not because she also answered me telepathically but because she knows my name. I mean of course they know it because I told them but that doesn't mean she can call me by my second name.

No one and I mean no one can call me that than my father!

I felt anger slowly rise in me.

Someone will feel pain. She'll cry her eyes out because of it.

--Zach--

Here in scarlet academy we call our power/abilities as 'toys' and we call ourselves as 'players' because we believe that in every fight it's much better to treat it as a game. The thrill is there, as well as the fun just like in video games. However, this is the reality. So the pain is also present.

So just like in video games, you need to have certain skills and knowledge to win every fight. And this is where our training and classes go.

It is because of this concept that we call every fight a 'game'. And this, this fight that's about to start in the middle of the gymnasium with us as a witness is one of them.

I felt almost all of my classmates look at me as we saw the butterfly girl stare at me.

What? Even this girl is mesmerized by my face? I smirked at her. However she didn't see my smirk as she brought her gaze back to Winter.

"Sapphire" she said and not long after Sapphire is already hanging on the middle of the ceiling with a cloth on her mouth. Not even bothering to fight.

"Is that allowed here?! Hanging a student in the ceiling??" I rolled my eyes as I heard Reven whisper shout to himself.

Such an overprotective brother…

"LET THE GAME BEGIN!!"

I fixed my seat as I heard Sir shout.
