My hate filled fist reaches the sky as I scream, “Take this you bastard!”
However the only thing I saw was a white ceiling filled with the small hole of my attack.
“What the hell is this!”
The last thing I remember from my fight was the fist of that bastard.
“He probably cast an illusion spell on me, wouldn’t expect anything else from that cheater!”
“Unfortunately, this situation your in miss Ryn is as real as it can be.”
The voice of a boy that sounds closely child like came right next to me. He sits on the uncomfortable wooden chair that the principle thought would be perfect for the lower class students to sit on. Which is also the one thing I would agree with her on. His appearance resembles that of a small dog that someone with too much time on their hands would carry around in their bag.
I spit on the ground.
“What is a lower class peasant as yourself doing sitting next to me!”
I heat up my hand with the heat spell and grab hold of his arm and he does try to get away from me, but his weakling body isn’t powerful enough to even come close to my prowess as the perfect magic user.
“Please miss, let me go.” the boy cries, holding back his tears with minimum effort.
I let go of him and from no push back from me he still falls to the ground, crying over minimum third degree burns on his hand. He quickly gets up and goes to the sink to get cold water, but still he screams in pain.
“Real helpless aren’t you.”
Holding his arm tightly again I cast a low level healing spell.
“Dil.”
Glow of the green light fills my balm as the are around the arm turns back to what it once was.
The boys more shaky then a earthquake not even able to look at me with his confidence earlier on.
I grab him by the hair and asks him, “So, what is it you want?”
“…”
“You want me to burn your entire body don’t you?”
“…”
“I’ll count to three and if I don’t get an answer then you’ll have to say this life goodbye. One, two—”
“Al-alright, alright, the reason I’m here is to inform you that the principle has summoned you to her office.”
Throwing the boy away I mutter to myself, “Instead of coming to me, she has to be in her safe space to even be comfortable enough to talk to me.”
The pathetic situation I’m currently in brought a tickling feeling inside me, like my heart that is always heavy now beats in a musical beat like harmony. Although it’s a nice feeling to have I have to shove it away to keep my guard up.
“Every last person besides me is completely pathetic,” I clutch my hands into a fist. “Instead of showing their true colors, they hide behind their unbreakable masks to shelter themselves from the truth!”
Pathetic lump of a boy with shaky legs moves closer to me then he has to.
“Th-the principle is waiting for us so we—”
“Fuck of rat!”
His face scared to even face me now turned to shock.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
“Rat!?”
Honestly I didn’t care about his reaction so I decide to get out of the nursing office.
The boy however still follows close behind me, but as I make it to the door I grab a hold of his neck and he feels like I’m holding a empty bag when lifting him in the air.
“Who told you that you could follow me?”
“A… I… Cant… breath.”
I let him go, hoping for his sake that he would still follow me so I could have an excuse.
***
Her office still has that old moldy wooden door compared to the other doors in this school that have gotten somewhat her approval to be renovated. The sign on the door say her name, Sarah “The Great Builder”.
Always hated this place since I was a kid, many times I would have to come here to apologize for something that I wouldn’t even have to do if she didn’t have to put her nose into everything.
Still, I put my courage on my shoulder and opened the office door.
“Welcome Miss ‘Burning Witch’, I’ve been waiting for you.”
She sits behind the table where she hides her smile with her fingers clapped together. Looking strait at me, like her gaze reaching deep into my soul, being able to take any moment.
As always, the room smells like an old person, but at the same time everything in here is as empty as it could be, the only things that shine brightly are the medals and trophies still glowing and brightening up the room in the corner.
“I won’t take too much of your time, so why don’t you sit so we could get started.”
In the current position I’m in I don’t have that luxury to say no so I decide to follow the instructions for now.
“Why did you want to see me?”
The principle takes a deep breath in and says, “I believe early on in the day you came to school on top of the gym teacher who covered the entire school in her liquids and then decided to take off every students clothing to wear them instead. Then you decided to fight without consulting me or any of the other teachers.”
“I believe there was a witness.”
“That’s true, but this was an official dual between the students that should have taken place in a safe area for the audience and the competence.”
“My opponent agreed on a dual in front of the school. Shouldn’t the ‘good boy’ also be punished.”
“No.”
“What!? That’s unacceptable!”
“No, because he is the currently a student council president. Punishing someone so high up in our school is unacceptable.”
I slam the table, “That’s unfair, how could he be the student council president if you said that it wasn’t an official fight?”
“It wasn’t, but since you were unctuous when the fight was supposed to actually start the winner would be the only one that did arrive, Mister ‘Lightning God’ himself.”
The air thickens with realization for the situation. The thoughts that I had now being replaced by the sound of my heavy heart.
“… I’ve failed.”
“I wouldn’t say that,” a boys voice comes from the entrance. “You opened everyone’s eyes to how pathetic you really are.”
“Mister ‘Lightning God’, so nice of you to come, I was about to call you.”
He ignores the principle and comes directly towards me. He takes a hold of my chin and moves it to face him.
“You know, you look way cuter when you aren’t in control.”
Every part of my body shivers and I feel the room getting hotter.
“At least that’s what I would say if I was you, weird fuck.”
He pushes me back by letting go of my chin.
“The sexist tyranny of all the girls being student council presidents, ends today. For too long have you girls had the power to oppress the growth of the male students.”
“Maybe if you you guys were more powerful none of this ‘oppression’ would have never happened.”
“I don’t disagree with that statement, but the reason none of us never had the power in the first place was all the opportunity you all have taken from us by turning the boys.”
“What!? I’ve never done that! There has—”
“Never been this problem, right,” he says, taking out a necklace with a red gem on it. “Why don’t we test your theory out.”
He turns towards the principle.
“I’m allowed to do this right.”
She smiles and nods in approval
“Alright then.”
“… You’re giving me a necklace? Don’t really see how this would help in your weird goal, but remember one thing, next year I will have the position of the student councile president.”
“Sorry, but that won’t be happening.”
He comes right in front of me and puts the necklace on me.
“I’m not a girl that can be win over with pretty…”
The red gem glows brightly, filling the entire room in red. The once cold necklace, now turned as hot as a furnace. All my muscle fibers screaming in agony. My eyes turned blurry with tears.
“Damn you Draven!”
I get up from my seat to punch him, but the chair attaches it wooden tentacles on my neck and drags me back on the seat. It all makes sense when I look at the principle that had a magical circle covering her hand.
He comes close to me and says, “You better remember this day well when I take this entire school over.”
