Chapter 69 Quaking In Your Boots?

Walking closer to him, she had a smug look on her face as she said. "I want to know why Nix would stay in your Chambers." She said calmly.

'She saw all that!' He realized, internally facepalming.

Even though she had witnessed it, there was no way he was going to admit it.

"You allow people in your dorm?" Gia's eyebrows furrowed and her mouth pursed in an O, then she looked at Lank, her eyes widened.

'And that's supposed to bother you, how?' He questioned in his thoughts, there was no need explaining himself.

Everyone in the academy knew that the higher ups had given him a special dorm and no one wanted to be associated with a freak like him, anyways.

Ayanami nodded her head, "it would seem he has some special preferences."

"F*ck off!" He snarled.

Although she had not outrightly said what she insinuated, he could already guess from her subtle hint. Getting what she meant sickened him to the bones, he had been misunderstood, yet she seemed to take pleasure in that piece of information.

A light giggle was heard, she placed the hand over her mouth. "Does this disturb you that your secret has been leaked?"

"Gia, please leave here. I'm not sure what's going to happen if an animal keeps trying to speak in human language." He overturned his table, his red eyes gleamed coldly.

They both jumped back at his action, all attention was drawn to them in an instant.

"There he goes again."

"I guess he can't change who he is."

"Would you all shut up?! Why are you still in the class anyways? Class is over, please leave." Gia yelled in annoyance at the side remarks she had heard from the others.

They knew nothing about what had transpired and yet they had begun judging. It was only at that moment, did she feel the pain and loneliness he had been enduring all these while.

"Who makes you boss, lower rank?" A higher rank male of the magic users challenged, his purple eyes glowing at the audacity she had to speak to everyone in that way, especially the higher ranks.

He had a messy black hair with bangs hanging right under his chin, he wore a sleeveless black overcoat seamed with greenish-black hemlines over a leafy green robe with black collar and sash. He ties black ribbons in a crisscross pattern over the lower half of his sleeves, black pants and a pair of dark brown boots overlaid with more criss cross-patterned ribbons.

He raised his hand, a cloak of green smoke spiraled in the air, as he waited for her to respond to his challenge.

All others watched to see how this would unfold, suddenly all went silent.

Gia gulped at her slip, she had yelled at the rush of the moment. She had always been calm when she spoke on behalf of Lank. But at that moment, something didn't settle well with her, maybe because she had witnessed first hand what had happened, unlike those other times, she would be called upon to defend him and would go with what others had said.

Now she really knew she had messed with the wrong people with her manner of approach. Internally facepalming at her outburst. This was a confrontation she wasn't ready for, nor could she match up with his level of proficiency as a higher rank, yet.

"I'd love to see where that little magic trick of yours would end you up in." Lank snarled, taking up the challenge in Gia's stead.

'Lank!' She looked up at his back, she was amazed by how fast he had bypassed her and stood protectively in front of her.

Gia sensed killing intent in him at that point. There was no way she was going to let him engage like that. Even though Ayanami's words were the whole cause of all this.

She looked to her side and saw Ayanami having a smirk on her lips, leaning on the wall and having her own fill of what she could only see as her having fun.

'That two-timing snake!' She sneered.

"Hahaha," the male let out a mocking laugh," if one bunch is rotten, the whole bunch should be dealt in one blow, huh?"

"What makes you think that as a higher rank A, you have the right to speak to anyone in such a manner, Arion?" Lumina retorted.

"Lumina, I'm not sure you should–" Fae had wanted to object to a confrontation with one of her mates or the use of their powers against each other as it wasn't the next day for the sparring at the least.

If they did, they would be in bigger trouble for breaking academy rules. But immediately shut up after seeing and feeling her change in countenance.

Her green eyes gleamed, this was a feat she never does mostly as it did take a toll on her energy if she made use of it for a designated period of time.

Nevertheless, when she did, it never went well with those who challenged her. She would turn monstrous at that point, the limit to her powers would be augmented greatly.

Currents coursed through her hands, making light cackles as they traveled through her body, she wanted so badly to vent out some of her anger and disgust at that point.

Arion's confidence dropped drastically at that point, there were few people not to be messed with and Lumina was greatly among them.

"What is that I see? A little quaking in your boots?" She taunted with a laugh. "Not so high and mighty now, right?"

Dropping his hands, he dissipated the cloak of green smoke immediately. "I didn't mean it in such a way, it's just that she was defending the freak over there and had no right to speak with us, higher ranks still present."

His words were much more sickening the more he spoke.

Szzzz!

Her lightning struck in a blink of an eye on Arion's desk, splitting it in a fine line.

Everyone gasped at the action. There was also another reason Lumina was feared and respected, she would never refrain from showing a bit of her strength just to break up a fight or pick one if needed be.

This was quite surprising that Lank had not gotten into her bad books yet.

Arion's face looked like the color had been drained from his body, he had his legs wide just in time, if he hadn't he would have to say a final speech to his legs and future generations.

He was in the state of hyperventilation, he had heard about this unpredictable part of her gift, said to divide and kill instantly any target below her rank and those above would sustain injuries as per the level they had attained.

"Whoops, looks like I missed." Lumina gave a disturbing eye shut smile.
