Chapter 126 It Was You All Along

Nix's eyes followed the line of sight of Lank who had a hard glare at Ayanami.

Ayanami could sense someone was staring at her intensely.

Looking around to identify who it was, her eyes widened in horror at the very people she didn't hope to stare at her.

"Her?" Nix questioned, unsure about it since his system had not confirmed the truthfulness of the accusation.

"As much as this might be biased since I had developed an ever growing hate for that animal in human's body. I'm not mistaken." He affirmed, narrowing his eyes.

Raising both middle fingers at her, he mouthed the words, 'F*ck you, thot!'

Ayanami gasped at the disrespect, her cheeks puffed up in annoyance. She had wanted to get there and strangle him if she shapeshifted into her serpentine form.

She glanced over to Nix who looked conflicted about it. Slowly she began to move backward, wanting to escape.

[Culprit identified]

Nix's eyes widened the moment the system confirmed what Lank had said. "Her again?!" He hissed with the grit of his teeth.

He noticed that she was trying to escape without causing as much trouble as Mrs. Neider did.

"She's trying to escape!" Lank whispered with the corner of his lips. Ready to attack if told.

He couldn't care less if they attracted attention with what he was going to do, all he needed was a go-ahead from Nix.

To his pleasure, he saw Nix nod his head.

'Finally!' He grinned, his canines and fingernails elongated.

A low growl escaped his lips as he prepared to increase his speed and get to her in a matter of seconds.

Ayanami sensed the danger approaching when she saw Lank take on his feral form, ditched her initial plan, and turned around making her way towards the exit.

Whoosh!

Lank dashed past the students in his way like they weren't moving.

The gust of wind in its wake pushed back Nix, forcing him to take a seat. "Awesome!" He gaped in awe at the ballistic speed of his friend.

The other students yelped in surprise at the change of wind and the echoing sound that followed. Their attention was divided as they all turned towards their side.

Cough!

Cough!

​ A gasp and series of coughs could be heard, "let me go, you feral!" Ayanami clawed on Lank's hands which tightly grasped her throat.

"I've been wanting to do this for a long time." Lank tightened his grip, his claws digging into her neck, drawing out blood slowly.

Cough!

"You're b... brea... ki... ng academy rules!" She struggled to say, her pale purple eyes glowed in rage.

"Why don't you show me what an upper rank A can do?" Lank challenged.

She shot a glare at him with her eyes glowing, her legs thrashing about.

"Do you really think that trick works for me?" Lank hissed only to her ears, chuckling at her puny effort. "That's a fragment of my skill that was forcefully extracted by the organization."

Ayanami whimpered, shocked that no one had interfered up until now.

"You... don't know what happened to Gia!" She spat, letting out a laugh.

Lank was momentarily stunned by her words.

Catching him unawares, Ayanami shapeshifted her legs into a purple snake's tail, latching it around his neck and pulling it down and away from her hard.

Lank had almost lost his grip on her neck and gasped for breath.

"Lank?!" Nix called out in worry, stepping forward, he was stopped by a hand by Lumina.

Shaking her head, she pointed at Lank, "watch!" She said with an evil grin, amused by the show before them all.

Although she wished to be the one who had taken down Ayanami with just a single blow. Her gift could nullify her shapeshifting abilities with ease.

Nix tilted his head, wondering how things would progress.

'Lank, please find a way.' He said in his thoughts, itching to interfere when the situation becomes unbearable to watch.

Lumina had a reassuring smile, secretly taking a hold of his hand and giving it a light squeeze as she channeled her electricity to him.

Feeling the jolt, Nix turned his head stiffly towards Lumina.

Shrugging, she pretended to be clueless about what had happened and nodded in the direction of Lank and Ayanami's struggle to gain control.

Gathering sheer willpower, Lank slashed at her tail on his neck, the purple blood splashing on Ayanami and staining his shirt.

Ayanami let out a shriek of pain, reverting to her legs which had sustained scratch marks with the welts irritated.

"Shouldn't we do something?" A female teacher questioned Mr. Gaviel, horrified by what they were all witnessing.

Mr. Gaviel inhaled, shaking his head at her question. Lank was almost as special as Nix. There had been a reason he was able to get away with almost anything.

Although he hated to admit it, he felt a sense of satisfaction as he watched Lank slowly drain the life out of her.

Retracting the claws on his right hand, he balled his hand in a fist. "I'm not afraid to hit a girl, not to mention one who acts like an animal!" He snickered in mischief.

Bam!

The whole class made a collective wince at the punch to Ayanami's face.

[50 points gained]

Nix almost choked on his saliva at what he saw appear in front of him. His eyes doubled in size.

'I can gain more points if I wasn't given a specific method to accomplish it personally?!' He stared at the hunched-over back of Lank as he landed another blow to her stomach this time around.

[100 points gained]

"You've stirred enough trouble as it is!" He growled.

"You don't know what you're dealing with!" She hissed, spitting out blood onto his face intentionally.

She turned her attention towards Mrs. Neider, ignoring Lank above her. "I hope you liked my little present then and now?!" She let out a deranged laugh.

Mrs. Neider's eyes widened at the words, her mind trailed back to when she had queried Lumina on her rivalry and accusation of Ayanami and now.

"It was you!" She exclaimed, calming down her ability and frowning in rage.
