Chapter 11
Chapter 11: Accident or Coincidence?
Aaaaaaack, my headache.
"HAAAA can you stop that ?! I'm the one who's dizzy from what you're doing! " I heard Jasper shouted at someone.
"Damn, sorry. Maybe that's what Alistair and Gray did to them. " I was still closing my eyes, the pain in my back as well. BUSET WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.
"What? Kappa is more worried about what will happen to them than what happened in June. " –Jayden.
"Nooo, of course not. If they hurt those students, they"ll be in huge trouble. " –Art
"The right term is‘ Kill ". They were both ready to kill when they saw what he did to June. " I immediately realized what Jasper had said. KILL ?! WHO ?!
I woke up immediately.
"J-June?" Jayden stood up.
"W-where are they?" I said breathlessly.
"They?"
"How long are you all going to stand around my bed like a bunch of creepers?" I said in disgust.
"Too bad this isn't your bed" Art replied.
"Or your room." Jasper added. My eyes widened and I looked around.
"W-who?" I asked in astonishment.
"Alistair"s room. Alistair asked Gray to teleport us into a room. " -Jayden
"Alistair didn't say which room so Gray teleported us here." - Jasper
"Also Gray haven't seen your room yet so it will be hard to explain what kind of room you have." –Art.
"HAHAHA You know June, earlier while we were talking about where to teleport you, Alistair thought that it was only in your room, just in case Gray hadn't seen your room he couldn't do it. The funny part is Alistair explained what kind of room you have. " Laughing storytelling by Art.
"Did he visit your room already? His explanation was accurate. Jayden asked in astonishment.
What? Alistair never came in my room, only Jayden knew because he was the only one I told. Also I remembered that Wizards cant teleport to places they never been to.
"HAHAHAH LIT SHE-
"Shut up Karston." Art fell silent when he heard the voice of Alistair who had just arrived with Gray.
Gray looked exhausted because he was sweating. Is he ok?
"Oh you're okay Gray?" Art asked.
"No, I'm tired." Gray explained.
"Why?"
"He was preventing me from killing those a-holes." Alistair said then shrugged afterwards. Gray made a face.
"Whoaaa, I'm surprised you managed to stop him from doing that" Art said while laughing out loud.
"I barely managed to do that, fortunately there were teachers who came. If not, he might have really killed them. " Gray explained.
I"m sure Gray isn"t lying about what Alistair will do to them. He"s that kind of person who will never back down on his words. If he kills someone, he"ll kill them without hesitation.
I saw Alistair clenching his fists and gritting his teeth. Why is he mad thought? I'm fine.
"So what happened?" Jasper asked.
"They said they didn"t know what happened. All they know is that something exploded, they don't remember anything. " –Gray
"What? That's all?" –Jayden
"They lost consciousness, but they do hear what they have been ordered to do." –Gray
"So, they weren"t under a spell?" - Jasper
"Not a spell, just some potions that gave them that reaction. I think it was by smelling since the tower smells awful. " –Gray
"Do you know who did that to them?" I asked.
"Apparently no, they are also busy making the potion ordered by Teacher Merlin. But they do heard someone who came in to deliver something. " Gray explained.
"Deliver? Deliver what? " Jayden commented.
"I don"t know, they said that"s where the smoke came out. Because of the smoke and the potion they were creating, it exploded due to the chemical reaction. Then it made them fell asleep too. "
Napaisip naman kami…
"Oh also, they mentioned that the one who delivered it was a young lady."
"What?"
"Yeah, that"s what they said. They just couldn't see the face since they were busy with the experiment. They thought it was a delivery from Teacher Merlin. "Gray added.
What? A young lady? There are many young ladies here at school. But she's really mad at me, then I do something to her?
"If I find the fucking-"
"Al shut up, I'm fine." I glared at him which made him shut up. "Please tell me you didn't beat them."
"Nah, I was supposed to. If you want I can do-
"No, I'm going to talk to them." I said, I was going to leave his bed in case… he suddenly grabbed me by the shoulder and made me lie down again.
"Move or I'll tie you up in my bed." I bit my lip because of what he said. My heart was racing and I shivered in fear because of the look of his eyes, it was scary.
I could hear Art and Jasper snickered in the back while Jaden"s jaw dropped. Gray was just sitting there and didn"t seem to care of what was happening here.
"Whooa, smooth move. Al. " –Art commented
"What is that supposed to mean ?!" I shrieked.
"You know June, don"t get the wrong idea-
"Of course not! Do you want a suit ?! " I exclaimed. Tie ?! Is he going to chain me up in his bed ?! Is he crazy ?!
"You're injured, stay in the bed." –Alistair
"So right ?! I"m injured! Why are you tying me up in your bed ?! You shouldn"t do that to an injured person! " the worst part about this is in his bed really.
I would"ve agreed a little if in my own room and bed I would be tied up. BUT NOOOOO… its Alistair"s room and bed!
"I will not tie you up if you follow what I said. Rest and get some sleep. " –Alistair, I was breathing heavily.
"In your room ?!" i was clearly freaking out. I don"t want to be in his room. Well I used to really want to get in but not anymore!
"Yes in my room, do you want to tie you up or not? Whether you like it or not, you"ll sleep here. " He said once sitting by my side and crossed his arms.
I heard Art clapped his hands while his eyes are twinkling.
"Then, take care of her Alistair. We will just tell the teachers what really happened. " Art announced.
They all stood up like they had no problems of what Alistair would do to me.
"H-HEY! JUST LEAVE ME WITH HIM !? " They took refuge. "W-WAIT!"
"Get some sleep." He touched my forehead.
"I'm not sleepy yet." I complained, but my eyes felt heavy. Why am I getting sleepy?
"I"ll put you up to sleep. Good night. " No… wait.
I fell asleep.
***********
The next day I woke up early, and I saw Alistair sleeping in a sofa. So I don't want to sleep here, he's too poor.
"Hey Al…" I got up and approached him and stared at him while he slept. I saw dark circles under his eyes. Did he get enough sleep?
I sighed and touched the tip of his hair. Where"s your cold personality? Where is the one who will just avoid me and ignore me?
I got up, I was surprised when someone suddenly took my hand.
"Don"t ..." I looked at him and he was still asleep. Is he dreaming? "Do not leave me. Please "
I was caught by guard of what he said while sleeping. What is he dreaming…? He is still holding my hands. I got on my knees and slowly removed his hand that was holding me. I would have stood up again but I heard a sob.
I stared at him and saw a tears falling down from his eyes.
What are you dreaming?
We are here in the training room that Jasper and I used to go to.
I immediately left Alistair's room and was unable to say goodbye. I haven"t seen him again after that. I was kinda avoiding him and I didn"t even do it at the cafeteria earlier. Today is already Monday.
I'm floating now because my body still hurts. Maybe because when a student threw stones at me, it was also strong.
They already apologized to me too. They did not know what had happened, Sir Leo and teacher Merlin were there to take care of the situation. Teacher Merlin said that it"s a smog that came from a potion that gives orders to other people.
The students who were the victims also said that they heard a voice of a young lady, so who delivered. He was also to blame for the incident. Since we are the Student Council, we"re gonna find the culprit.
"UGHH- it was boring to look for when I did that. Are they really sure it isn"t a wizard? I mean other courses are not experts in such experiments and stuffs. " Jasper was complaining since earlier.
"If I found out who did that. I will really bury there face in the ground "Jayden was also complaining because he said he could not rest yesterday because they were called.
While I was busy taking a rest yesterday, I didn"t open my room for anyone except Jayden. I need privacy and I slept the whole day so they never asked me again. Alistair is probably the one they asked since he was with me.
"Hey Pr- I mean June. Are you ok now? I heard the incident from the teachers. " Taliyah asked worriedly. I smiled at her and nodded. "It was a popular topic too."
"GOOD AFTERNOON STUDENTS!"
Taliyah is here now since she"s in the Knight course.
"Who is ready for a friendly duel?" I was humbled by what I heard. I almost forgot about that! "Are you ok now June? You asked about it yesterday. "
I faked a laugh and nodded. The pain of my body! But I don"t want to miss this opportunity either.
"WELL, LET US WELCOME THE TWO CONTESTANTS! Taliyah from Gremlin Empire and June from the Gem Empire! " many shouted. Mostly just my classmates "but there are many of them.
We went to the front, there was a small stage that me and Jasper fought before. I ready my wooden sword since we are not allowed to use a real sword.
We both bow down as a sign that this is just a friendly duel. We started placing positions and stances.
"READY! SET! FIGHT! "
Taliyah was the first to make a move. She slashed her sword in front of my legs but I was able to jump and slash my sword from above, so she also bowed. Her moves were fast.
I took a step back and made move forward so she will be caught of guard, and I was right. I kept attacking her and she was on her defense right now that she can"t find any opening to attack back.
But what I"m doing right now is tiring, you can easily lose energy so I immediately stopped as well. I know that she knows this that"s why she didn"t fight back when I did that. But good thing I immediately realize this which made Taliyah gazed at me.
She jumped at me and tried to kick me, pretty sure the kick was strong since she even jumped. But I quickly dodged it which made her kick hit the ground that caused a crack. Shit if I don"t escape, that will surely hurt.
Wait isn"t this a duel? Why is she using her kicks? Hmmm. Sir Leo only said it"s a duel, which mean you can use martial arts? He did not say that he ruled. Haaaaah, even better. I thought.
I readied both my fist and my sword which made her more alert. She wouldn"t know which arms I"m gonna engaged next so she positioned her body on a defense mode. He was there in the part of the stage with a crack from his kick, perfect.
I ran towards her direction so she backed away, I was using my fists. So I jumped up to create pressure, like what she did to her kick. I huffed and immediately punched her- no I was aiming for the ground since she also manage dodged it too. I smirked, I was obviously aiming for the crack she created.
The crack got bigger and it punctured, the puncture was a bit big but my plan is working. When he walked away he didn"t inexpect me to make a big hole.
My plan is to form a large hole from the ground so she would trip on one of the rock fragments. Of course my plan worked because she stepped on one of the rocks and fell on the ground.
I jumped towards her direction, also I didn't expect that I made a very big hole since it was just from the blow. I landed next to her and positioned my sword at her face, she looked hurt when she fell because she couldn't move and stood up.
There was a moment of silence. Then accordingly, everyone shouted.
"S-sorryy" I immediately frowned at what I did to Taliyah, I think she hit her back in one of the rocks.
"O-ok just princess." She said smiling and I helped her stand up. She was rubbing her back. "Huff, you were a tough opponent"
I laughed at what he said. "And so are you."
We just laughed after the duel.
*********
After non we rested, Sir Leo was busy complaining about what we did since we made a hole in the stage. There are no such rules eee.
"Any clues about what really happened in the tower?" Taliyah asked.
"Well one thing"s for sure. The culprit delivered something to the tower which made them follow orders or something. " I answer.
"Wait really? My sister was there delivering something too. "
What? Evyanah?
