Chapter 28 Hand Over Your Pass

"You!" She sneered.

"Might I take this seat?" Nix asked politely, looking at her with a smile on his face.

Lumina gritted her teeth, he was shameless to request that of her, now all attention was drawn to her.

"Not until you prove you can treat everyone with a modicum of respect." She snapped.

"Isn't that word a little too proper for your tongue?" He teased.

"Get the f*ck out of here! This seat is already taken." She pulled on Fae's arm, pulling her to sit.

"Did something happen between you both, yesterday?" Fae leaned to the side, whispering.

"What happened?! Nothing happened between us both." Lumina pulled on Fae's ear in retaliation to what she had thought she insinuated.

Nix grinned, turning around to where he had been offered a seat originally. There was no use arguing on the issue, he had just wanted to gauge her reaction.

Mr Zhao shook his head at what he had witnessed, this was the first time Lumina had been so rude and blunt to another student.

"Nix, could you tell the class what your gift is?"

"Do I really have to?" Nix retorted, folding his arms.

Cross popping veins appeared on Mr Zhao's forehead, he steadied his breathing, he shouldn't give in to little provocations.

Nix's lips curved into a smirk, he could tell he was trying his best to calm himself.

"Yes!" Mr Zhao answered with a forced smile.

All eyes were directed at his desk, they were as curious as they were interested in what he had to say.

"Fire." He shrugged.

"What?!" Lumina was the first to react, not because of the uniqueness of the gift, but rather he had a passive gift totally different from his gift he had displayed the previous night.

Realizing all attention was now drawn to her, she let out a nervous chuckle, covering her face with her hand.

'But... but he displayed telekinesis the other day. How could he have two different gifts?' She began to tremble at the thought, she had definitely messed with the wrong person.

She could now see why the aura seething off him was so strong. He had a huge aura, it was more than his body could contain.

She stared in his direction, wondering why he had not made mention of his passive gift. This made her more curious and wary of him at the same time.

"Wow!"

"How cool is that?"

"We got a fire rank!"

Nix couldn't understand why they were so excited about his possession of that gift. 'It's just fire!!'

"You possess the gift of fire?" Mr Zhao asked in a moment of disbelief.

'I already said that. Are you deaf?!' His thoughts deadpanned.

"I don't see what's so special in that gift." Nix crossed his legs on his desk.

"Neither do I understand why you all would be flustered about it anymore than I am. What's so special about it? It's pretty much the same as most people's gift, right?"

The whole class gasped, there was clearly something he was missing.

"The fire gift is one of the four gifts, it's believed to be the most powerful gift ever known." Mr Zhao stated. "It is a power not known among most mortals."

"So you are trying to tell me that this gift is more powerful than any other gift?" Nix shook his head, he had to be mistaken in what he was saying.

Gifts? When he had given each character a unique one in relation to his mood and his interaction with his natural surroundings. The thought of one being more powerful than the other was still new to him, he never made it that way.

The only thing more powerful were the dragons, his love for those beasts had influenced his creation that way. Now they say his gift was the most powerful gift? How powerful though?

Life inside his creation was totally different from what he had expected, they had even developed a hierarchy in the power rank. Moreso, it had a driven plot, one that had not been incorporated into his art.

Although he did notice, all that he saw wasn't merely just what he drew, it spanned from all his digital creations from the very beginning of his art journey.

"There are four, and the fire gift is just one of them." He muttered in repeat, taking in the information.

This would mean there were others, he was sure to ask either Mr Zhao or Mune and compare both information.

Nix blinked twice, his face blank for a bit before he burst into laughter. He looked back at everyone, his laughter continuing to shake his whole body.

All looked at him, shocked at the sudden change in his personality that made them uncomfortable.

"Nix could you hand over your pass?" Mr Zhao requested.

Nix's eyes widened, he couldn't possibly let this teacher know he came from the Lae family. Even though it would seem he couldn't recognise him, probably because Mr Zhao couldn't recall how he would look after his mother's disappearance all those years.

His last name was sure to sell him out if he handed his pass over to Mr Zhao.

This was a moment in which he needed Mune, she could have a way around this. Hopefully.

[You requested my presence, master?] Mune jumped in excitement at finally being useful. Her bosom jiggled with each bounce of her body.

'Hmmm!' He pinched the bridge of his nose, he needed to come to terms she was just a creation spurn from his desires sooner or later.

Nix squinted his eyes, he needed to establish a different way to communicate with her without sounding crazy to the rest while he needed her help now and in the future.

[Are you trying to communicate telepathically?] Mune questioned, noticing he was squinting his eyes at her with so much concentration.

He gave a slight nod in reply.

"Nix?" Mr Zhao called his name once more, all he wanted was to confirm his gift. Yet he seemed distracted by something.

He had met some students who had claimed to possess that gift in the past. Yet their pass showed to the whole class what gift they truly possess.

There was only one who had possessed that gift apart from Nix who might also be one of that rank.

"Are you too chicken to hand it over? You lost all your cool or should I say heat?" A male snickered from behind Nix, kicking his chair.

He had his brown hair done in a spiky, unkempt style, his eyes were red, his skin was pale white. He held a grin that showed a perfect set of white teeth, his canine more pronounced than the others.

'Pathetic!' Was the first thing that came to Nix's mind, he began to roll his eyes at the guy for his comment and action. He wouldn't waste his efforts on such a person.

[Your request has been granted. What do you want me to do for you master?] Mune asked.

'Mask my last name off the pass.' Nix instructed her.

'I would take care of the rest.' He stared straight at his teacher, reaching into his pocket to get the pass.

She nodded her head in understanding, doing as she was told.
