Chapter 33

That's why everything was odd. Fa Jiu attack the man on his butler suit. He was the one who's controlling the serpent. Fa Jiu did not expect that this kind of man would participate on this circumstances.

While everything was strange, Fa Jiu thought about Chun-sensei. Did their teacher know about this? Well, this butler was more than one time seen by her with Chun-sensei. The first one when he accompanied the teacher on their school garden and the second time was when she bumped to him just outside of their classroom on a run for nature's calling after excusing herself from in the middle of Chun-sensei's lecturing.

So she got a hint that it must be some kind of bodyguard-slash-butler of their teacher and that was the time she thought that the teacher was a prince in disguised; like in all girl's fantasies.

The girl was caught off guard because of her thoughts when the latter almost landed a strike at her. Almost.

Fa Jiu exchange blows on the butler while the latter expertly avoided every ȧssault the violet haired girl gave. It's imposible to land a strike to this said butler. Fa Jiu sidestep, scratching her left cheek from the opponent's sharp red thread.

"Heh, you're good" the butler just shrug at Fa Jiu with a blank look.

Eventually, the ground shake a bit from a loud 'thud' coming from the serpent's location. Fa Jiu snap her head toward the noise came from," Oh your friend defeated the serpent, nice job at distracting me."

The butler back off meters away from the young girl,"Where are you going?!" Fa Jiu asked the latter, making him glance an indifferent look and disappeared.

"Did you caught the manipulator? Where are they?" Kira suddenly appeared at Fa Jiu's side. The latter just shrug at her.

*Clap clap clap

"Bravo! Bravo! You defeated a serpent. As expected."

The fool namely Aurumn smiled at them with some glint in his eyes that the two did not caught on because it instantly went away. Aurumn was about to continue his well-prepared speech when he was again cutted of by deathly glares.

"Yeah okay. I'll bring you to the targets."

He led the two girls to where the targets' location. Practically speaking, his not leading them to the specific whereabouts of it. It's just where the map of it.

While they were walking, Fa Jiu noticed that the cherry trees became denser and denser. The fluctuation of qi's getting stronger, he eyed suspiciously the laidback man, happily traversing around like he was strolling on a park.

Did he knew Chun-sensei's butler?

Unbeknownst to Kira Su, she did not detect anything strange from the two's gazes other than recognizing some white petals on their path.

Cherry trees are supposed to be pink.

When she look infront, her mouth almost hang open from the breathtaking sight. A white tree was swaying gently with the wind, it's trunk were white at the same with the leaves, flowers, branches and roots.

Fa Jiu and Kira Su were both astounded by the beautiful scenery, the tree was literally glowing. Aurumn just look at the tree indifferently and waved his hand, the tree roots suddenly move. Turning its body around making a big whole on its body and there appeared an intricately decorated door. The white door was beaurifully-carved like a piece of art while there's an ancient writing of an unknown language on the top surface of it.

"Go through it and you'll find what you're looking" as his words came out, he vanished with the winds.

That's a mysterious person for you.

"Are we trusting him?" Kira asked to her companion, a little confused.

"There's no knowing it if we will not try," Fa Jiu just shrug and strode near the door, clasping the golden handle of it. Slowly opening the white door.

Fa Jiu was about to say something to Kira Su when they both suddenly suċkėd by the door. Having the white tree turning to its original form, leaving no trail of its state awhile ago.

Infirmary...

"What happened to teacher?" Lin Zan worriedly asked while looking at the peacefully sleeping teacher at the white bed.

They were all present at the clinic while others were kept outside, Lin Zan, President Kali and Miku Zhen with the presence of the doctor; Dr. Turrip. The doctor was known to be the head of all other doctors in this school and he's specialized in physical and magical healing. While his the head, he's always out of the school, rarely seeing him performing healing on students and teachers. Coincidentally, all of the doctors are tending some other students because of the past event and while the others were on fieldwork; and only Dr. Turrip was not occupied and were only to check out his hospital after discussing some business at the headmaster's office.

Looking at the blank face of the President, Dr. Turrip answered the student's question after he finished examining Chun," He's fine. It's just a sudden shock from his brain that made his consciousness shut down."

"What triggered it, doctor?"

"It's not in my field of expertise the mental state of a being but I can confirm that there's some kind a trail of memory barging on his mind."

President Kali just furrowed his brows in confusion and the two others did so.

Who is this teacher of theirs?

"Cough. Okay. He only need to sleep and after an hour he'll wake up."

The people outside stop panicking after they had seen the final scores of   the representatives. The barrier that was build-up for protection purposes went down as the students inside emerge out from the simulation field.

"Hooh! It's finally done," Fu Xin shouted as he pump out his fist.

Teacher will be happy.

Someone poke her shoulders and she look who's the perpetrator and its coming from the short black haired girl namely Kira Su.

"Thank you" she smiled and went to her teacher while someone suddenly hug Fa Jiu.

"I know you'll win" Fa Rin was proud for her twin so she scope her up, not minding her weight and the other classmates of theirs congratulated her.

"Heh. My other student will not let you win so be happy right now because it'll be temporary," Pi Rong smugly eyed the students' of Chun while his student Huan Xiu was glaring at Fa Jiu. He's pride was step on by this girl and he was scolded by his teacher. He can't let this be.

"So where's your teacher now?" Edmund Ding pointedly asked while looking for the white haired youth that was nowhere to be found.

Pei Lang was about to retaliate with this teachers when he was hold back by his classmates while Miku Zhen and Lin Zan where not present.

"Hahaha. Maybe your teacher doesn't care about you so he's not here" Huan Xiu taking courage to join in the bullying while looking at Fa Jiu, provokingly. Many bystanders went near to watch the show of this foolish people. Not minding that the President was just at the entrance of the colliseum-like court talking to his secretary.

The violet haired girl was going to run that mouth of the brat when a presence stop her. A strong qi was being released, making the people near shiver from fear.

"De'Noctis Institute's Article 3 Section 9; Spiting a student or a teacher inside the school's premises is prohibited and if violated, the individual who was the one acted it will have proper punishment from the hands of the Student Council President and which is me."

Kali look at three people who made themselves foolish awhile ago having fearful faces. It's rarely for a student or even a teacher to violate the school rules because the one who will decide punishment will be the cold-hearted President. Kali satisfyingly smirked at their faces and called for his friend Gavin, head of the disciplinary council.

Gavin playfully greeted Kali and ordered his crew to 'accompany' the three foolish people. He was about to vanish with his crew when Kali stop him.

"School Punishment 304"

The President only stated while Gavin smiled widely, saluting at the Kali with mischief.

After witnessing the show, the crowd dismissed themselves, they don't want to get caught up to the President's wrath. Fa Jiu then suddenly asked Kali for Chun-sensei as the latter was about to leave.

"Chun-sensei is in the infirmary."

The young miss creased her forehead looking at her twin, questioningly.

"He's fine. He just need rest"
