Chapter 226 - Keep it down!

After numerous experiments in his room, Afeus was still unable to wake the young man up. Though he did find some new things on the young man's body. The young man had something that looked like a tattoo but was etched onto his skin in a way that made it look seem like a birthmark. On the right arm of the young man was the tattoo of a red and black dragon coiling around each other.

Aside from that, the young man also had two more things etched onto his body specifically his chest. There were a silver moon and a sun-shaped mark. Afeus touched the two marks and felt a great surge of mana flowing through them. The tattoo-like thing also had a strong surge of mana, but the ones on the chest felt different and at the same time similar to the tattoo on the young man's arm.

Now after learning new things about the young man's body, Afeus needed to use someplace aside from his room. He needed a larger space to use more powerful attacks that might make the young man feel threatened thus forcing him to wake up. He did ask a healing mage to help one time but that proved to be utterly useless. The healing mage found absolutely nothing wrong with the young man physically, there were also zero signs of a curse being used on him. 

Then what was the problem? The only person who knew the answer to that question was the person inflicted with the problem. Since Afeus only knew one way that was effective in waking the young man up, which was making the young man feel like his life was threatened, Afeus's whole plan revolved around that direction. 

So that brings us to the current situation where Afeus reserved one of the school's magic rooms. These rooms called magic rooms were places that have been surrounded by a barrier created by the past and current Grand Mages of the school. Though it was called a room it was pretty much a large field. It was made so that mages could experiment and create even more powerful spells without damaging the surrounding areas. It was also a place where mages would release their stress, this was especially popular with mage apprentices.

Afeus placed the body of the young man on the ground and started to draw a magic circle around the body. Once he was done Afeus gathered his mana and wanted to activate the magic circle. Yet upon trying to activate the magic circle, Afeus felt his mana draining quickly. 

'Damn, so my mana really isn't enough for such a spell... If only I could ask someone to help.' When Afeus thought of that he could only sigh in resignation. In the sorcery school, he was attending, Afeus had zero friends, and he was infamous as being the target of Evior the top mage apprentice of the school. The so called beloved one of mana. 

Afeus couldn't understand the reason for Evior's bullying. The first time they met Evior treated him like air, the same way Evior treated almost all the students. Yet after a few weeks in school Evior suddenly noticed him and started to mess around with him. From verbally making fun of him to making him look like a fool during combat class. 

No one wanted to be his friend simply because no one wanted to antagonize Evior. While Afeus was thinking about his long time bully as if his thoughts were read by destiny or something the person he was thinking of appeared before him. 

Evior alongside his lackeys entered the magic room, he then looked at the unconscious young man that lay on the ground. "Is that the rumored sleeping prince? How is that suppose to be a prince, his face isn't anywhere near what a prince should look like. Whoever called him that must have been under a curse." Evior shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, this made his companions laugh. 

"What are you doing here Evior? I was the one who has reserved this magic room for the whole day." Hearing Afeus's voice Evior finally looked at him and smiled. 

"Oh, if it isn't my dear friend Afeus. Why are you looking at me like that?" 

"What do you want Evior?" Afeus spoke in a lower tone. 

"Nothing much we needed to use a magic room for practice, but all the other magic rooms have been reserved. That's when we heard that our good ole friend Afeus was able to reserve one. So we came to ask you a favor, how about you leave and we used this magic room." 

Evior and his five goons surrounded Afeus. Usually, at this moment Afeus would be frightened and leave. But today was different, after his experience in Kerrolan forest Afeus couldn't take Evior's threats as seriously as before. 

"I won't leave, I'm the one who had reserved this magic room, so you leave." Evior and his gang had their eyes wide open when they heard Afeus talk back. This was the first time anyone, not just Afeus has talked back to Evior. 

"What did you just say? I think I misheard you." 

"I said get the f*ck out of here!" Afeus whose courage rose to a whole new level shouted at Evior. It was at that moment Afeus could feel something prickling in his skin. It was the same feeling he had when he was in the forest. Evior was releasing an intense amount of bloodl.u.s.t. 

"It seems that you need to be reminded of who you are speaking to." When Evior raised his hand and was about to use a spell, he and the others felt an unnerving presence. 

"Keep it down you f*ckers! You're all so noisy." Everyone in the magic room looked at each other as the voice of an unfamiliar person was heard. Not one of them was speaking, it was at that moment they looked at the person they forget was present in the room as well. The unconscious young man had finally woke up. 

'Huh, why did he wake up? His life wasn't threatened or anything. So was my hypothesis wrong, was there another trigger?'

While Afeus was analyzing the situation, Evior and his group were trembling. They couldn't understand why they were trembling but they knew that it had something to do with the young man. 

"Who are you to-" Evior was about to say something but in the blink of an eye, the young man appeared before him and grasped his head with one hand. 

"I told you to keep it down." Evior could feel the young man's hand tightening. The pain Evior felt as the young man's hand tightened around hid head was something he has never felt before. He wanted to use a spell but he couldn't concentrate due to the fear and pain he was feeling. 

Evior's companions stood there looking at the young man in fear. All of them wanted to flee as far as they could but they couldn't move their bodies. 

"What are you trying to do?! If you dare do anything to me, my family, and the order of truth will never let you go." Evior who could not do anything as his head was being slowly squeezed tried to threaten the unknown young man. 

"I already told you to shut the f*ck up!" Afeus who was thinking at the side heard what the young man said. the moment he heard this he knew what the young man wanted to do. He remembered what happened to the monster in the forest. 

"Wait!" Afeus shouted which made the young man shift his attention to him.
