75 Chapter 75: Clashes

'Why?'

'Why is he here?'

'Didn't he say it would take a long time for us to meet again?'

Hazel stood there shocked as she watched that guy calmly observe the room. He lifted his lips as if impressed with what he was seeing.

Standing by the door was none other than the Prince Charming who became famous in the academy. Her brows twitched when she remembered the line, 'Our beautiful president has been snatched away by her Prince Charming.'

Usui stood there languidly leaning against the door. He had a huge smile on his face and had all his focus on Hazel. He grinned and winked at her when he saw her stunned expression.

He asked casually, " Did you miss me, My Queen?"

Jinha and the thunder squad members raised their eyebrows hearing that familiar annoying voice. They looked at each other and simultaneously turned to Hazel. Hazel froze in her stand as she couldn't believe how arrogant he is being now!

Her eyes followed his figure as he slowly sauntered his way towards her. Her eyes stopped following him when he stopped right in front of her.

He voiced out, impressed by the furnishings, "This room looks amazing."

Hearing no response from her, Usui looked at her and chuckled. She was staring at him with her head tilted and eyes wide open. It was like she had an imaginary question mark above her head.

'Ah! So adorable.'

His lips curled up as he finally saw his woman. Transfering indeed was a pain as his principal didn't want to let go of their powerhouse. But, what can he do? When he thought of meeting her only at the Guild tournament made him mad.

'Finally... I'm near you.'

He smiled as he took his time watching her face... the face he missed so much. He couldn't help but break out grinning when he realized he could tease her more often now.

A strand escaped from her high ponytail. It fluttered slightly in the air and fell against her cheek. He extended his hand to place the escape strand behind her ear.

But Alas!!! Numerous hands reached out to block his hand. He raised his eyebrow when he saw someone pull Hazel away from his hands. Then, a small guy came into view, as he stood protectively in front of his woman, glaring at him hatefully.

Usui frowned at the small guy whom he can crush with his single punch. He watched amusedly as he observed the snarling beast. Then, he looked at the other hand holding his hand and faced his best friend, who grinned cheekily at him. 

Usui gritted his teeth as he spat out that hateful name, "J.I.N.H.A"

Jinha smiled as he responded, "Nice meeting you too and to answer your question. No, I didn't miss you at all."

He stopped for a moment before shaking his head, as if what he thought disgusted him so much. " I can't bring myself to call you king even if you call me your Queen."

Confused, Usui glanced behind Jinha. His lips twitched as he saw the rest all ready to burn him alive. Ignoring the snarling beast and the thunder squad group, even the silent Loki had something on his hand, which glinted in the sunlight. He sat there calmly but his posture said something else. It was like he would unhesitantly throw if he takes one more step towards their President. 

Usui pursed his lips as he glanced at the other girl who was observing him closely as she munched on an apple. 

He could tell that the snarling beast and the weird girl was twins in a glance. What surprised him the most was the cute guy's fanatical reaction. The cute guy, now, didn't look so much cute, as he stood up from his chair and had a blazing fire wrapped around his hand. A fierce expression twisted his facial features as his eyes zeroed on his stretched hand.

His lips twitched as he thought, 'So troublesome!' 

'Tch! I have developed quite a few powerful enemies on my first day.'

He closed his eyes in frustration and turned to look at Hazel with a silent complaint in his eyes. 'Why do you have to attract so many bees?'

Hazel raised her eyebrows when she saw him sulk at her. 

'What did I do?'

Sighing inwardly, understanding his woman's denseness. He silently decided to sharpen her mind in the future. Nodding to himself, he turned to Jinha and smiled. 

He placed his hand over his shoulder, causing Jinha to look down at his hand in surprise. He looked up and saw him grinning and knitted his brows having a bad premonition.

As he thought, he felt Usui grasp his shoulder hard and heard him say, " Come on, tell them to not be suspicious of me. I come in peace."

Then Usui mouthed, "My Queen"

Jinha widened his eyes as felt chills down his spine. 

'Eew!!! So shameless. Who spread the rumor that he was a cold faced idiot?'

Feeling the force on his shoulder, Jinha's grip on Usui's hand tightened as he retorted, " And, why should we believe you?"

Even though Jinha felt so disgusted with his words, he couldn't help but frown at his sudden arrival. The small beast snarled as he questioned Jinha while he kept his eyes on this stranger, "Do you know this guy?"

This time it was Zeno who answered, "He is the Crown Prince of Sun Kingdom."

A single statement was enough to make the bunch scowl.

Reyna threw away her apple and confirmed her doubt, "But isn't the crown prince of Sun kingdom part of Silver Mages Academy?"

Zeno nodded his head which made the other's face darken.

On seeing that the atmosphere inside the room plummeted, he stated, "Hey! Hey! You don't have to be cautious around me. Like I said before, I come in peace."

His eyes wandered around the room but noticing other's skeptical expression, he sighed. His eyes shifted towards his Queen who was still staring at him with a frown on her face.

Usui glanced at Hazel and asked, "Do you believe me?"

Her eyes squinted as her mind processed his words. " It can't be what I think, right?'

'But, how did he enter this place which was accessible only to the council members?'

Her brows furrowed as she came down to a troubling conclusion. Before she could answer, the snarling beast snarled, "Why should she believe you in the first place? Who do you think you are, bastard?"

Annoyed by the interruption, Usui snapped, "Can you be quiet when I'm taking with my Queen?" 

He was losing it. He was so excited to meet his woman, to see her smile again, and to caress her cheeks but these people were obstructing his path.

Ren roared, "YOUR QUEEN?" 

Ren turned to his princess as he asked vigilantly, "Princess, he's not the one mentioned in the news, right?"

Hazel's eyes shifted towards the guy who was this close to exploding. Hazel didn't know what to answer as either of her answers would make him go berserk. She gulped as she thought of the future mess this room would cause her.

Ren's face scrunched up as he saw her reaction. 'So it was him?'

'Why would her Prince Charming be from their rival academy?'

Ren clenched his fists tightly as he turned around to face Usui. He growled in a low menacing voice, "Why would a Silver Mages student shower us with his presence?" 

Ren snorted as he took a step forward, "Are you seeking your death?"

Right after saying that, the beast extended his claws aka his knives on his hands from his sleeves. He scoffed, "Do you think anyone can come here and claim our president as their Queen?"

Usui frowned and before he could say anything further, he watched in shock as Jinha let go of his hand. His eyes shifted to him and saw him sit back on his chair, with his legs raised on the table. 

He propelled back on the chair as he calmly pronounced, "This is going to be fun." And looked at Hazel indicating her to sit and watch the show.

Hazel widened her eyes and wanted to stop this from going any further but she was held back by Reyna and Loki. 

Surprised, she silently looked at them to which Loki answered, "Isn't it a nice opportunity to test our strongest rival?"

Hazel shook her head and exclaimed, "We shouldn't break the rules we set up. What kind of role model would we be then!"

Jinha looked at her before turning to Zeno, who was the strictest among them, and asked, "Haven't we all agreed to the duel? Now, isn't it an official match?"

Hazel scoffed at such a bland misuse of their authority. Zeno pushed his glasses back as he nodded shamelessly. 

"We don't have any objection."

Hazel stared at Zeno who actually went along with the rest. She looked at everyone who was staring at her as if telling her to ignore this event. They were very interested to see the outcome. 

She couldn't help but slap herself for forgetting the fact that they were battle crazy idiots. That's how this council was formed in the first place - to avoid the emergence of another crazy idiot.

She turned to look at Ren and Usui worriedly, not knowing whom she should be more worried about. Even though Ren might look like a kid, he was indeed strong to make his way into the list. His unique style of fighting is enough to oppress someone to their limits. She had seen him battle crazily defeating others within a minute.

She watched as Ren snickered, " I heard you are the strongest person in Silver Mages Academy. It would make your academy cough blood if they got to know how easily I defeated you."

Usui's expression altered at the obvious provocation. He smiled calmly as he asked, "Are you sure you can defeat me? Do you have it in you?"

Triggered by his question, Ren huffed angrily, "Hmph!! You are nothing."

And Ren dashed towards him.
