33 Servan (2/2)

The boy who was facing Arnin couldn't help but take a few steps back. The aura that Arnin was releasing caused his breathing to increase rapidly, his eyes becoming blurry. Since he was the one being directly affected by the aura, he could feel the murderous and evil intent. His eyes blackened before he slowly passed out, however before he did, he noticed that a large Demon like creature had taken form behind Arnin. It had three large horns with a black gas surrounding them.

'What the heck… is… with … this...kid' the boy couldn't take it anymore and blacked out,

----------------------------------------------------------

*Drip Drip*

The boy felt water falling onto his face. His eyes opened the gates of darkness and found a brown ceiling. The boy blinked a couple times before turning his head around. He realized that he was inside of a room, rather it was his room.

'Didn't I lose the duel? Why am I in this house?' The boy knew that he lost the duel when he blacked out. He just couldn't understand why he would be in his room.

”You're up. Well hurry up and get changed, we have lots of things to get done.” From the left, the boy heard a noise. He turned his head and saw Arnin standing by the door.

He had a confused look on his face before he slowly got up from the bed. Right when he was about to get up, he noticed that he was shirtless. He didn't get flustered or anything, however he noticed a weird mark on his chest. It was crimson mark that resembled a drop of blood.

”What is this?” The boy became horrified at the sight. He jumped out of bed and began to examine his body to see if there were any other marks.

”What's taking so long? Hurry up!” Arnin's voice resounded from outside the door. The boy blanked out before his expression became ferocious. He ran out and glared at Arnin.

'What did you do to me?! What the heck is this thing on my chest?!” The boy was flustered and his previous calm state was gone.

”What do you mean? That mark is there because you are now my servant. Remember the bet? You just lost the bet, so stop acting like you lost your family!” Arnin was annoyed by the boy's reaction. He lost the bet, so of course the contract would bind him to the agreements

”C-contract?” The boy felt as though a bucket of cold water was dropped on top of him. He looked down and clenched his fists until his knuckles became white.

”You are now my servant and this house is now mine. So hurry up and get your stuff out of here. As your master, I won't let you live on the streets, but you are going to have to find a new place to live from now on. If you need help finding one, tell me.” Arnin acted as though he was showing the boy a new path that could help him.

'This is your fault, you damned kid. If you didn't duel me, I wouldn't be on the streets.' The boy felt infuriated, however he couldn't do anything except accept the truth. He did sign the contract and it was his fault for losing.

”You can find a house later though. For now, you are going to follow me and help me get some of my tasks done.” Arnin didn't wait for the boy, swiftly walking out the house. The boy was stunned for a second before quickly following behind. He could only try and be a servant until Arnin relieved him of the bet. He didn't want to be a servant for a person younger than him, especially since they were both in the Moth group. It would be humiliating if someone saw him.

As he followed him out, he saw two girls standing outside, waiting

”Lilise, Elidia, this is now your place to stay. You will move your things here.” Arnin waved his hand and walked away. The girls nodded their heads before rushing into the house with happy expressions. The boy watched all of this happened and his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

'My house belongs to Butterfly students now? What the heck is this?' The boy felt as though he was going crazy. If Arnin took the house, then that would be a little better, since he was a Moth student, but the house now belonged to Butterfly students. He couldn't help but feel wronged.

Both of them walked in while the boy continued to stay depressed.

”What is your name?” Arnin turned his around and asked the boy. The boy looked up with his dull, black eyes.,

”Kurse.” He only said one thing before looking back down. Arnin noticed this and smirked.

”You lost the bet so stop acting so low. If you follow me, I will let you see things that you would never have imagined.” Arnin smiled before consoling Kurse. He didn't need a half-hearted servant. What he wanted was someone who would complete his tasks for him without much problems. He liked the attitude of the boy when he first met him, which was why he decided to take the boy in. However, if he became a nuisance, then Arnin would be without a servant.

The boy nodded his head and complied. He couldn't really saying anything else because of the contract. If he tried to do something that would go against the contract, he would feel a burning sensation from his chest.

When the two people walked out of the residential area, Arnin turned around and looked at the boy.

”Kurse, as your master, I will explain some of the things that I will be doing in the academy, so you have to prepare for them. I own two houses in the residential area, the original and the one I took from you. My original house also has my demonic beast, which will be taken care of by another Butterfly student. As my servant, you will be assigned to go to my place and make sure that no problems occur with other students. If someone comes and asks for a duel, you will only accept it if you can guarantee a win, if not then you do not accept and tell them to wait for my return.” Arnin slowly explained some minor tasks which Kurse reluctantly accepted. Then, a thought hit his mind and he couldn't help but look at Anrin with confusion.

”Wait, what will you be doing then? Like other than the lectures, most people stay in their homes to cultivate. What about you?” Arnin kept saying that he would be away from the house, but where would he be?

”That's my next point. I am going to be working in the Mark Master building. I was assigned a job, so a good portion of my time will be spent there. Your duty as a servant will also require you to follow me there. I will try to find another person to help you with these tasks, so don't worry about that.

Kurse's mouth twitched when he heard that. 'Another servant? Which unlucky person will share the same fate as me?' He couldn't help but feel sorry for the next person that would fall under Arnin. He already felt the strength that Arnin had, so he didn't feel that anyone in the Orb Birth realm would be able to match him.

”W-wait. Did you say Mark Master!?” the boy suddenly remembered Arnin's words and his mind began to spin.

'You're a Mark Master as well?' Kurse looked at Arnin with bewilderment.

”Yeah, it isn't too difficult. Just make sure that you complete your duties. Now, lead me to where the Mark Master building is.” Arnin waved his hand. Kurse almost spat out blood when he heard Arnin.

'You don't even know where the Mark Master building is, yet you are one? Kid, stop pulling my leg!'
