Back to the training

For a moment, the two of us stood against each other, staring the other one down. 

"Are you threatening me?" the Overseer asked, squinting his eyes. His fingers tightened into fists as his aura condensed. 

'That was unnecessary,' I thought, taking a deep breath to calm myself down. 

My words were nothing more but a distant shadow of the feelings boiling all the way at the bottom of my soul. The feelings that I continued to do my very best to distance myself from. 

But on the other hand, I couldn't just let this fucker do whatever he wanted. Some sort of resistance was a must. 

"I'm just answering the question you asked... senior," I replied in the same cold tone that I used to utter my previous sentence with. 

Once again, the air turned silent. For a second, I could perfectly hear even the slightest noise of the animals from the forest nearby, the wind rustling between combs of herbs and leaves of the trees.
