Chapter 154: The Beginning of The Cursed Era (1/2)
Rex looks at his front and widened his eyes in surprise.
The man in front of him turns out to be the principal of Ochyra University, his cold eyes are looking at Rex who is on the ground.
He got teleported to the principal's office where Adhara went before.
Rex jumps back creating distance between them, he looks at the principal warily and said, ”Why did you teleport me here?”
”Do you have it?”, the principal said while sitting on his chair.
He intertwines his fingers in front of his face as he knits his eyes studying Rex's expression.
Without giving any sign of weakness at all, Rex replied, ”What? Do you mean the contract you gave to Adhara? Yes, I have it! and I tore it to pieces”
Rex decided to bluff his way out, he pretends that he doesn't know what the principal means.
He knows that the principal gives Adhara a proposition to stay at Ochyra University, the principal knows that convincing him is harder than convincing Adhara.
That is why the principal does that, he tempts Adhara to force Rex to stay.
Because of this, Rex decided to brings that matter up rather than a heavier matter which is the spellbooks he stole.
The principal raises his eyebrows hearing this,
”You think you can pursue me by making Adhara stay here?”, Rex said continuing the act.
His act is spotless as if it is natural, it should be believable because of how fast Rex thought of the bluff.
Hearing Rex, the principal leans to his back with a slight chuckle, ”Don't mistake me for a fool, Why would a student like you following a member of the FAA”, he said slowly.
This makes Rex slightly waver, 'He knew I was following him?'
Looking at Rex's slight reaction, the principal becomes even more confident, ”Let me ask you again in case you didn't hear me quite clearly, Do you have it?”
Rex is in a predicament, he went silent while gazing at the principal's eyes.
After a slight pause, Rex then said, ”Are you accusing your students of something he didn't do? Just because you saw me following someone?”
The tension kept rising, the principal gaze becomes heavier.
”If that student does that right after I got an information of stolen goods, then it's natural to be suspicious”, said the principal without breaking eye contact.
Rex puts his hand behind his back trying to calm him down.
The principal's gaze is so sharp and overwhelming, he's the most powerful Awakened in Ochyra University and that fact unconsciously makes Rex pressured.
He then said, ”Aren't you supposed to protect the top first-year like me? Which side are you on?”
”Definitely not the side of a student that is just about to leave this university”, the president said insinuatingly.
Hearing this, Rex shuts his mouth as they both look at each other.
~
In a faraway city, a level four city on the south side of Ratmawati City.
There's a man and a woman chasing each other flirtatiously, they're both beautiful and handsome as they run around the forest.
Blazing golden hair flows down beautifully to the woman's back, her eyes are bright blue, and although her skin is a bit dirty it didn't hide her jade smooth skin.
The man is not that far off, his eyes are breathtakingly hazel, and his lean and proportional body can make any woman goes crazy.
Both of them seem to be filled with love as the man grabbed the woman.
The man pinned the girl on the ground while both of them are laughing happily, their eyes spark with burning lust as they both started to make out.
The sound of insects creaking filled the forest as the moonlight shone on both of them.
It's midnight over here and they both are pleasuring each other, their burning lust and love makes them forget about their surrounding.
Both of them indulge in the act of love.
Not long after, the man and the woman walk out of the forest and goes back to the city.
The city is not that good as the wall is only made of hardened wood, and it only spans about two miles from the entrance to the other end.
Just as they enter the city, a commotion was heard.
”People of Tolk City, gather around the city hall!”
”Everyone must gather right now!!”
A man shouted from afar making other people immediately went to the city hall.
The man and woman that just got back looks at each other, they then heard the whispering of people around them.
”Is it already that time of the month again?”
”Yes, there's mud on the back of my house. Put it all over you daughter but make sure it's not that obvious”
Hearing this, the man then said, ”Come, we'll put some on you too Ellie”
”Don't I look dirty enough? It's okay Rafael, they won't pick me”, Ellie said with a playful smile.
Rafael argues that they should put more but Ellie denied saying that it will be too obvious, they then go to the city hall after Rafael surrenders.
Around the city hall, many people gathered.
There're hundreds of people gathered around the city hall, and they all got counted.
After all of them gathered and confirmed that all of the citizens are here, three people walk up to a wooden stage prepared in front of the city hall.
From the look of their glowing aura, they are certainly an Awakened.
The crowd quietened down after they saw the three people standing on the stage, it's like the crowd is afraid of them.
”As you all know, the time of the month has come. Is there any volunteer to be these gentlemen's partner for the next month?”, a man beside the Awakened said.
Based on the man's clothes, he seems to be the city head.
Hearing this, the crowd becomes noisy again.
One of the Awakened got irritated by their noises, he burst his aura creating a spark of red aura making the crowd feel pressured.
All of them instantly went silent again after feeling the Awakened's power.
The Awakened that bursts his aura before is the one on the right, and from the people's expression they seem to didn't like that particular Awakened.
After a slight pause,
One woman raised her hand, ”I'll volunteer for the next month”
The woman that raises her hand is by no means ugly, in fact, she's a pretty girl with a killer body.
Hearing this, the city head then replied with a delighted expression, ”Who are you willing to serve?”
The woman looks to the three Awakened before she points to the Awakened on the left, she picks that Awakened without even hesitating.
The Awakened that got chosen laughs, ”I got a good girl boys”, he said to the other.
Seeing the beautiful woman that walks up to the stage and hugs the left Awakened makes the other Awakened jealous.
They then become impatient to see their women.
After that, another girl raises her hand and she's also a beautiful girl.
And this time, the beautiful girl chooses the Awakened in the middle without any hesitation also.
This makes the last Awakened on the right remaining.
”Any other volunteer for this fine man right here?”, the city head shouted.
But all he gets is silence, no other volunteers are willing to be the right Awakened partner making the Awakened gritted his teeth.
”Last month my friend came back bruised after serving him, it's natural that nobody wanted to volunteer to be that asshole's partner”, Ellie said with a disgusted look.
Hearing this, Rafael covers her mouth fearing the other might hear her.
”Shut up Ellie, you'll get yourself into trouble with that mouth”, Rafael said worriedly.
Ellie smiles teasingly after hearing that, she then said flirtingly, ”Of course, my mouth can even put you into trouble holding it in”
Rafael smack Ellie's head, he felt speechless hearing her.
The crowd's silence makes the city head sweats, he then tries and persuades his people, ”Without these gentlemen, we can't survive against the wondering banshee so we must show gratitude”
Even after saying that, nobody volunteers.
The Awakened on the right has darkened expression, it seems he's offended by this.
Before the city head can try and persuade some more, the Awakened on the right then said, ”If no one volunteers, then I can choose whoever I pick”
Hearing this, the city hall face went pale.
He looks to the crowd trying to find someone to volunteer, he doesn't want this Awakened to force someone.
The Awakened's eyes scan the crowd fiercely, the bubbling anger in him is erupting.
All of the women in the crowd put their heads down fearing they might get chosen, it is a nightmare if they got chosen by this particular Awakened.
Ellie is joking with Rafael and they stick out like a sore thumb.
Seeing Ellie's dashing hair and beauty, the Awakened's interest got piqued, ”You! Come here! You'll be my partner for the next month!”
The Awakened points at Ellie who is currently joking with Rafael until getting called.
