***Navi's Dorm-room..

***{¡¡!16:39pm!¡¡}***

..

For the first time in the last six hours, Navi finally moves his body. His eyelids slowly lifts and behind them are his cold orange irises that radiates a dangerous state of calm.

Opening his eyes, Navi stays still for a moment as he breaths slowly while staring seemingly at nothing.

After a few seconds, Navi looks down and then he takes his naked sword off his lap before fluidly fitting it back into the shealth on his back with a small metalic buzz sound ringing out as the blade slides in place.

Turning his head to look through the roms only small window, Navi leans a bit forward. Although he cannot see the sun through the window, he can see the orange in the sky that signifies the arrival of dusk.

He have always loved wacthing the sunset and sunrise.

'It is a beautiful evening..', Navi casually thinks to himself.

'..a truly great one for a warm shower..", Navi continues his peaceful thoughts as he slowly goes down his bunk with a calm pace guiding his movements.

'..of blood¡.', Navi completes his slow thoughts as he moves towards his cabinet with his face completely unmoved by his dark thoughts.

With a key in hand, Navi slowly opens up his cabinet before reaching inside. He pulls out his twin dagger's and lightly croching down, he fixes the daggers by the sides of his boots.

Unhurried.. have stands back up in front of his open cabinet as re-straps the flexible metal protection more firmly over his fore-arms. Fiddling the straps, he makes sure that his braced finger-free gloves are also fixed thightly in place.

Reaching into his Cabinet, Navi takes out his teardrop bracelet though instead of wearing it, he directly tucks it through his chest and over his heart.

After doing this, Navi slowly sweeps then holds the strands of his lenghty ink-black hair back with his fingers. Using a small metal hair-band, he holds it all in place behind his scalp.

Some thin stray strands of ink-black hair are still falling by the sides and over Navi's face but atleast it is not as bad as it has been before.

Maybe after this duel he would get a trim down.. Navi thinks to himself as he shuts his cabinet doors before slowly moving towards the door as he the room then walks into the hallways.

For the time of the day, Navi finds the Dormitory's hallways to be ridiculously empty though it does not matter much as he makes his way to the stairs down then to the ground floor.

Finally stepping into the Academy's Campus, Navi's eye-catching visual soon finds itself under wandering gazes. Navi is unsurprised to find himself under the gaze of other martial disciples at almost every turn.

He walks slowly, indifferently infact. Though something abouth his sharp cold visuals and cold gaze projects a low hum of natural pride.

The various disciple stare mostly in silence at Navi's figure as he moves through the grounds with some of the disciples even moving away whenever Navi draws close.

Navi can almost smell it.

He can almost smell what they all feel as they look at him..

Fear!.

They feel fear.

'Cowards¡.', Navi's thoughts cannot help but whisper coldly through his mind as he cacthes their reactions to him.

He is unfazed by the fact that they show fear for him and he feels no pride nor sorrow at their pathetic reactions to his movements!.

Chickens run away when they see humans though this does not mean that the human is powerful,.. it is just the nature of chickens!.

To Navi, he has not given them any reasonable reasons to fear him yet they flinch back and avoid catching his gaze!.

These idiots show fear for him yet still in his presence, they whisper about their foolish feelings of hatred and disgust towards him!.

If this does not prove that the fear they feel towards him is nothing but their fragile nature and mindset at work then what does!.

Fear can only be justified when there is a valid reason to it.

Thinking of this fact, Navi keeps walking slowly through the campus while completely indifferent to the reactions he gets whatever they are.

These people may be cowards but Navi would soon fix a bit about their perception of fear towards him because after today,..

They would all have a rightly justified reason to fear him!.

***Inner Outskirts..

***Clingford's Martial Academy Duelling Arena..

***{¡!!17:01pm!!¡}***

..

It's rightfully evening though the orange sun have not gone down by far.

Due to the Duelling grounds being circulars and below ground level, the evening sunlight falls on its grounds in such a way that almost good half of its terain are dark and cloaked by shadows with the rest illuminated by rays of light-orange sunlight.

A few disciples are already sitted in the arena though since the duel is scheduled to begin in an hour time, most chairs are still empty. A mild but steady trinkle of disciples promises a full arena before the duel begins.

Right now, standing within the shadowy side of the main duelling circle are five people: Swordmanship master Grifen Chen, Marien Lee, Martial Core Master Chen Bia as well as two martial instructors.

As per Sword's-Master Grifen Chen's instructions, both Navi and Marien Lee are supposed already on ground at the duelling arena but looking at time it seems that Navi is running a few minutes late.

"Is Navi coming?.", Marien Lee asks with a small frown on his face as he is obviously feeling a bit impatient from the short wait.

"He is smart so he'll come.", Master Griffen Chen replies calmly without any doubt in his tone about his words.

"If he's smart he would not show up. A dishonorable exection would be many times better than what I plan to do to him!.", Marien Lee says coldly while earning himself a simple glace from Martial Core Master Bia Chen then nothing more.

A few second passes in silence then Master Bia Chen calmly turns to Master Grifen Chen.

"I read through the reports and it says that the kid killed five people and came out of the battle without much injuries.", Master Bia Chen says while seeking more light from Master Grifen Chen.

Marien Lee obviously has an opinion on the topic though he holds his tongue as he does not dare to interrupt a Rank Two Martial Core Master like Master Bia Chen for fear of being slapped to death!.

"The kid said that he used a pepper bomb though I doubt that can give someone with his level of martials enough of an edge for a clean wipe. It is either the kid had some help, some other unspoken advantage or his opponents are a collection of disgrace to the martial path.", Sword's-Master Grifen Chen gives his opinion on the subject without any care about Marien Lee's subtle frown to his last words.

"Do you think the kid can win this match?.", Master Bia Chen calmly asks while Marien Lee's cheeks lightly twicthes at the indifferent conversation that is taking place without any regard to his existence.

"Pepper Bombs are not allowed in a Death duel so.. No.", Master Grifen Chen calmly responds without the need of much thinking to his words.

"I do think he would pull off a good struggle.", Master Grifen Chen adds while Master Bia Chen nods his head as he silently notes that Master Grifen Chen did not say 'fight ' but rather 'struggle'.

A few seconds passes and then there is a shift in atmosphere. The bearings of the few scattered disciples that are already sitted in the arena becomes a bit more excited and rattled.

Like a chain reaction, various small groups of the disciples are turning their heads toward the top of a set of stairs that runs through the brighter side of the Duelling arena.

He is finally here..

Navi is here.
