Chapter 21

The whole place was a mess, as the boxes and papers that has been thrown and flew on the air finally landed on the ground. They paused for a moment and just looked at the papers fall on the floor one by one.

The sound of the boxes falling to the hard, colorful floor is gonna be heard from the distance. It caused for other students to just stand up, paused for a moment and then walked towards the direction of the commotions of the students.

The floor was covered by red carpet, the once red as blood carpet is now covered with the powder of chalks that was inside of the boxes. Some of the boxes are on top of the papers, either getting covered by the powder of chalks or getting tear apart.

Some of the items inside the box are magic items, most of them are big and expensive but because it is the academy, it is enough for them to buy a lot.

"..." The whole way is covered in a silence. No one dares to talk up until the students that were carrying the boxes and papers started to took all of the items that fall on the floor.

"We are gonna be doomed if any of the magic items were damaged!"

"Oh no! Professor Elvira will be mad at me if she sees all of the ripped papers!"

"Let's hurry!"

"..."

While the other students were trying their best and at their fastest movements to gather all of the items and papers on the floor, Yuri was just standing there. His eyes were covering both of his eyes.

"Yuri, are you okay?" The princess asked.

"You just blocked all of those things to protect us! That must've had hurt...."

"..." Still, no answer is gonna be getting from Yuri.

He just stand there, slightly bending his knees and then suddenly, a blood flow out of his temple. It ran across his left cheeks and then to the left side of his mouth and finally, to his chin and then dropped down to the floor.

"!" Aila got alerted as she looked at the blood that flow from his left chin down to the chin and dropped to the floor.

He was on the left side of Yuri, right about a meter or two away from him. She clearly saw that blood slowly ran down to the floor and saw Yuri's eyes suddenly lost it's colours.

"Yuri?" The princess asked, confused as to why the handsome man isn't answering her question.

But still, after a few seconds, he slowly kneel on his right and slowly fall to the floor on his stomach facing the cold floor.

Thud!

"Yuri!" Both the princess and the noble girl says as they run to Yuri and knelt right Infront of him to check him.

He is breathing normally but the bleeding on his temple isn't showing any signs of stopping or even atleast slowing down. If this continues, he might lose a lot of blood and die afterwards which is a very unlikely event to happen.

"Let's go to the clinic!"

"Let's carry him!"

"Hey hold on tight!"

As the students including the princess and the noble girl gather Infront of him and repositioned his body to his back facing the floor instead, he started to felt his eye lids getting heavier and heavier as the seconds they started to grow their numbers more.

Before he completely passed out, he can feel the hands of the student on his back and some of his arms are wrapping around their heads. As they were about to walk, Yuri lowered his head but not too fast and not too slow.

He is currently facing his chest by bending his head to go towards him.

As they students carry him by their shoulders and assist him on his back, he smiled.

After that, he just fall asleep.

After a few hours, he slowly opened his eyes. He can feel the light hitting his pupil and closed it again very fast to adapt to the sudden light that hit his very vulnerable eye as it just opens.

He slowly sits on the bed and saw someone sleeping right beside him, Aila. The noble girl that was with him and Thalia, the princess.

He didn't bother waking her up but instead, he looked around and observed the whole place. On both sides, was a white curtain to cover up the two other sides which is also two beds.

'I was planning on pretending to just sleep but I guess I ended up really sleeping....' he thought. "But again, it doesn't matter. My plan worked." He touched his head, he can feel a cloth wrapped around it.

'good.'

His plan was to just make Aila indebted to him by doing something nice to her or like saving her from getting hurt. He was only planning on making Aila indebted to him but out of all the peope who can see or help them, it was really just be the princess which is he takes as a luck.

He planned on making her indebted to him too jist in case the favour he is gonna ask to Aila, is not gonna be able to give to him. The girl that tried to humiliate him give him a way to make her feel indebted to him, which he used as a way to make her.

The goal was simple:

Make the students that were following the girl able to talk to Aila by luring them to her direction and act like he was getting bullied there without acting he is getting bullied there because he is nonchalant.

Second, make Aila confront them and make the students argue with her which is he is pretty sure they will not win even if they tried to.

The third is just for him to wait for them to argue and enter the argument again when it is getting heated up and save Aila. The end.

But all of it didn't happen necause the princess suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He remained calm and kept his composure as he thinks that it was a fortunate event for him because of he just managed to defend the two of them, he will make not only Aila feel indebted to him, but also the princess who's authority is high compared to the other normal nobles.

He was just waiting for them to argue when suddenly, he saw five students coming to they're way.

Two of them were holding a pile of bunch of papers that they're vision is getting blocked while the other three is holding a lot of boxes on top of each others.

The way they were in is as if a hallway where people often walk to go to the other classrooms and offices or others. Means, there is a lot of other ways to get there.

Right beside them, where the five students were coming and he is pretty sure they can't see where they are going as they are fighting each other to where they will pass some of their stuff as it is heavy for them and they can't see the way very well.

"Hey Mark, take some of my stuff!"

"No way! Im already carrying five boxes y'know!"

"Stop fighting already! We need to go quickly or else professor Elvir--"

While the girl on the front was looking back and trying to stop her two friends from fighting, Yuri quickly make her lose as step using his sword with a scabbard on.

He hit her foot strong enough to make her fall on her feet but not hurt her to not cause any commotion and execute his plan very well that wouldn't leave him a problem in the future. She also can't see it anyway because of the pile of paper right Infront of her that she can't even see the way she was walking on.

"Ahh!"

"Kaya!"

The girl fall flat on her face to the ground as the papers flew on the air.

The other four of her friends tried to help them but one of them stumbled on the feet of their friend that was already on the floor and threw all of the papers she was holding, causing for the princess and Aila to get their visions blocked from seeing the group of the students that were trying to humiliate Yuri but also the same from those students.

"Hey, are you guy--"

While the other guys that ran towards their friends that fall on the floor, also got hit by Yuri's scabbard and also fall on the floor. The boxes they were carrying flew on the air.

Yuri moved very fast and positioned himself towards the middle of the falling box, to act as if all of the boxes hit him all at once. He can't be seen as the papers that flew on the air cause others to get their visions blocked. Some of the magic items inside the boxes flew out of them mid air, causing for Yuri to see an item that pique his interest.

It looked like an ore, an ore used to make a sword. It was very dark and a cracks from it is gonna be seen. The color of those cracks is dark purple, and also kind of amethyst.

He quickly took it, smashed it on his temple and when he noticed that it might crack if he keeps on hitting his head using this, took his katana instead and hs temple to make him more look injured.

"After that, I just waited for the moment to fall and act...."

"Yuri?"
