Chapter 146 Ch 144: A Way To Kill [Pt2]

Had anyone walked into the hallway, they would have seen the scene of Yohan trying to run away from Officer Bernetta's knife. The elder redhead was not cutting the teen any slack.

But of course, Yohan was out of luck and no one crossed his path. The students had been asked to be in a lockdown and not leave their rooms due to the sudden attack. But Yohan, who had yet to check his mailbox, had no way of knowing this.

"What's wrong? Are you not going to fight back at all? You will make me feel bad if you just evade me like this."

Bernetta pretended like she was sad after experiencing what Yohan was doing but he was happy to run away from her. He had no intention of facing Bernetta but the more he evaded her, the more it seemed to be no longer possible.

'Which way should I head next? How can I lose this madwoman?'

"Bernetta, what are you doing? Hey, are you fighting with the students now? You need to stop."

The other black-haired officer who had accompanied Bernetta here also decided to make an appearance. And her sudden entry caused Yohan to misstep his defense.

And suddenly, he could no longer dodge Bernetta's attacks and had to show his hand. Thankfully, his body decided to take over him right then and he managed to counter the incoming attack.

His knife met Bernetta's sword and it caused sparks to flash around.

'Crap. I should not have been able to do that.'

Yohan realized what he had done only after he watched Shizue's black eyes widen when he managed to stop Bernetta. On the other hand, Bernetta had a trump expression as she watched Yohan try and counter her attack.

Her sword sizzled with magi craft and she had triggered a reaction. Her power was also overflowing and crushing the environment.

"You seriously are the best. Why were you hiding all this power? Is it because you are lazy."

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Yohan knew he could not shive Bernetta away. She had too much force behind her sword but Yohan knew how to get out of this hold. He twisted his body and forced the inertia to cause Bernetta to fall.

Surprise colored her eyes as she watched her body reach toward the ground. It all happened in an instant which did not give Bernetta any time to counter Yohan.

But Bernetta's reflexes were too fast and she managed to catch herself in time. Before anyone knew it, she was standing back on her feet again and ready to attack Yohan again.

"You are seriously fun. Let us go at each other again and-"

"Bernetta, stop it. You need to calm down before you cause us trouble."

Yohan considered himself lucky that Bernetta was stopped by her partner right in time for her to attack again. For a wild character like her to stop because of someone's words was rare.

Bernetta looked grumpy and not happy at all. But she still backed down when Shizue placed her body in between the pair. She looked at Bernetta with annoyance which caused Bernetta to look away in shame.

"Fine, I will not do anything to this student now. But only because you asked this of me, Shizue."

Shizue finally stopped glaring at Bernetta and turned toward Yohan with an apologetic look. She seemed to be an easy-going person which made her look easy on the eyes. But Yohan doubted that she was easy to take advantage of.

"I think I should run away now. I just wanted to get some fresh air and maybe get some alone time."

Yohan quickly left the spot, not wanting to give the pair in front of him any more reason or time to figure him out. They were annoying and he also had a feeling that they would turn out to be a pain in the ass for him.

The pair watched him leave with different looks in their eyes. And once Yohan was out of the way did Shizue turn toward her partner with furious eyes.

"Bernetta, what the hell? I told you that students were off-limit and to watch your hand. But you still decided to go after a student here? Do you want to get us both kicked out of here?"

Shizue's anger shined in her eyes but Bernetta pretended like she did not care. She did hear what Shizue said but she was not paying attention to it until the end.

"Come on Shizue, relax. The principal cannot get rid of us as long as the mystery of student Flora's death is not solved. Not to mention, we are both far too precious to be detained."

Shizue just shook her head as she heard Bernetta confess this with uttermost confidence. Bernetta looked to not even be worried as Shizue sighed in defeat.

Bernetta and her confidence caused Shizue unending amounts of problems. Why did she even stay with Bernetta all this time? The more time that passed, the more Shizue felt her soul get tired.

"Hey Shizue, you know that I love you right? You are the only one for me so keep on hanging in there. I am not ready to give up on us."

Shizue almost had a whiplash when she heard Bernetta say those words. Her cheeks were red with embarrassment as she tried to look at her partner's face.

'That's cheating. Bernetta, at least look a little embarrassed when you confess to me like that.'

Shizue's heart skipped a few beats as she heard Bernetta's words but her throat was too dry to reply to Bernetta. She knew she liked Bernetta but she was never able to confess back to her.

And she also had a feeling that Bernetta's confession was a passing thing. It came too easy to her to contain any feelings. And that was why Shizue buried her feelings deep into her heart as she turned toward Bernetta.

"Enough of your messing around, Bernetta. Don't think your attempts of distracting me are working."

Bernetta's earnest expression turned sheepish as soon as she was reprimanded. Shizue's beating heart calmed down once she was sure that Bernetta was done messing around with her.

And as soon as she calmed down, dread steeled in the pit of her stomach. She knew that Bernetta was not serious but these words still managed to get her every time.

"Oh, by the way, Bernetta, how are you going to explain what you did to the principal? I am not sure if he would let this go so easily."

Bernetta's expression finally showed panic and Shizue knew what was going to come next. She was trained at this point.

"No, Bernetta. I will not make any excuses for you so don't even try and use me like that. You need to own up to your mistakes."

Bernetta pouted as she thought over her actions. But she knew Shizue and that was why she was convinced that there was nothing she could do to change her mind.

…..

Somewhere else in the academy campus, Marvis slammed his hand on the locker, causing it to dent. He could not believe how disastrous his actions had been. And now there was a genuine concern that he would be caught.

"I need to bury all the evidence. But who can I do that to? Is there no way for me to make it alright again?"

Marvis was in a dilemma for some time but then he finally got an idea. He would use external forces to take care of Yohan if the internal attacks would not work.
