45 Who Calls My Name (2/2)
”I am supposed to make sure that no one hurts you guys. Since this guy here pushed you onto the ground, I have every right to do whatever I want. You can watch with your sister or…” Arnin smiled at the fallen Elidia. Lilise quickly went to help her sister up, however she suddenly felt a hand grab tightly onto her arm.
”Sis?” Lilise looked at Elidia with confusion. She heard what Arnin said, however she still couldn't convince herself that Arnin would do anything bad. She had fully believed him when he said that he would let Kurse and Torne have their freedom, and so she continued to blindly believe in him.
”Lilise, come with me for a sec. I want to show you something that Arnin gave me.” Elidia knew that she couldn't do anything to help the brown haired boy, so she bitterly shook her head and tried to quickly get Lilise out of the area. She had seen Arnin's ruthlessness and didn't want Lilise to see it too.
”But what about Arnin?” Lilise could also feel that something wasn't right. Elidia quickly thought of an excuse and suddenly came up with one. She moved her mouth towards her sister's ear and whispered quietly.
”This boy is Arnin's good friend, however Arnin hasn't met him in a long time. I didn't know, but Arnin secretly sent me a message that he wants to talk to this boy alone.” Elidia didn't have anything else to say. She could only hope that Lilise would fall for the lie.
”So that is the case? He could have just told me too. Why does he need to hide it?” Although Lilise 'understood' the truth, she still felt confused.
”Let's just go and give them some time to talk.” Lilise nodded and quickly walked away with Elidia. The brown haired boy saw the whole scene and was dumbfounded. He then looked at Arnin, who was slowly approaching him.
”Now then, let me explain the real rules to you. The weakest stay in the back, while the strongest go to the front. This is not about seniority, but strength.” Arnin smiled and was already in front of the boy. He was still just five years old, so his body was smaller than the boy's, however the aura that was slowly emitted by him was much stronger. The boy felt the sinister aura that Arnin was releasing and he couldn't help but take a deep gulp.
”Stop!” Suddenly a voice sounded from the crowd. Everyone turned to look towards the sound. Arnin also heard the sound and couldn't help but snort. Quickly, he punched the boy in the abdomen, causing him to spit out a large amount of saliva. He then fell to the ground, holding onto his belly.
The person who screamed out was no one else, but Xillar. He noticed Arnin's aura from afar and felt that he was going to start something once more. He couldn't do much to Arnin because of the mysterious protector, but that didn't mean that he couldn't protect other students from him.
'Dammit, this kid gives me no respect!' Xillar gritted his teeth when he saw Arnin punch the other kid without any hesitation.
”Oops.” Arnin looked at Xillar with a faint smile before walking towards the place where Lilise and Elidia went.
Xillar shook his head before walking towards the fallen boy. ”Teacher, you have to teach that kid some manners. I am his senior. How could he hit me like that? Not only that, but he did a sneak attack! What a shameless person.” The boy was gritting his teeth and couldn't help but complain. He felt Arnin's power in that one punch, and he knew that he wasn't nearly as strong as him.
”Don't worry. Someday, he will be taken care of.” Xillar spoke in a serious tone, however the boy didn't here the second half of the sentence. He only heard the 'Don't worry' part.
---------------------------------------------
Elidia and Lilise waited patiently for Arnin. Elidia was feeling anxious and worried for the boy, while Lilise was happily waiting for Arnin to finish speaking with his 'friend'.
”You two, let's go.” Arnin walked over without them noticing, and then walked back to where he came from. Lilise looked at Elidia before following quickly. Elidia, on the other hand, was somewhat hesitant, however she forced her way forward.
”Elidia, my friend was lucky today. We didn't get to talk at all.” Arnin spoke with a dark smile. Elidia was somewhat happy that nothing happened, however she was astonished that Arnin knew what she had whispered to her sister.
'How did he hear me? I was so quiet.' Elidia shook her head and decided not to think about it. She knew that Arnin was mysterious, plus he was very strong. Elidia wasn't able to figure him out, and didn't wish to. He was just too scary.
”Arnin, if you need to talk to your friends, you can just tell us. We won't mind.” Lilise spoke sweetly. Arnin looked her before looking at Elidia. He then smirked.
”Lilise, do you want to know what me and my friend were talking about?” Arnin didn't look at Lilise when he spoke. His eyes kept looking at Elidia, who then began to panic.
”Umm, if--” Before Lilise could answer, she felt a pinch on her arm. ”Ow!” She looked at the person who pinched her.
”Lilise, it is rude to ask about other people's affairs. Don't ask again.” Elidia glared at her sister, who quickly ducked her head and didn't say anything else. Arnin teasingly smiled towards Elidia, who looked away with anger.
Arnin decided not to go towards the front anymore, instead, he wanted to go and find the chubby kid, Akig. It would be better for him to know where the chubby kid lived, so he could ask him some other small things.
Arnin slowly walked and looked around. He wasn't too tall, so he wasn't able to see over the other people. He then turned around and looked at the two girls.
”Do you guys know where Akig lives? Also, do you know which group he stays with?” Arnin had left Akig and the two girls to find his house on their first day, so he didn't get the chance to discuss much with the kid.
”Akig? Who is that?” Lilise asked innocently.
A chubby kid was standing behind a group of people and coincidentally heard his name from somewhere. This person was none other than Akig. he quickly walked around the group and looked around with great arrogance.
”Who calls my name, the friend of a Moth student!?”
