[Still on Vance Kaze - POV]
Ok so for now I am started to accept the fact that why only me. Why the whole community of THE CREEPERS was saying that only I could do this job.
But I know everything clearly a E-ranker who is impatient, hyperenergetic and with great potential, A S-rank who has only a soft corner for one person - yes it is Pearl and at the very last.
The person marked as S-rank but even greater potential - Arashi Ushimoto. I must say Arashi is already stronger that most of sensei's out there but currently not even dust in front of them.
"I don't know what are you even thinking for so long. But can you tell me that when will I get my answer of 'When'" It was Arashi with the same authoritative tone.
"Don't you know how to talk to your sensei scumbag" It was Pearl but the tone wasn't soft as with Zorian it was filled with hatred.
"Pearl what is it" It was same fearless voice of Zorian
My eyes went towards Arashi's seat his face was rock solid as if he wasn't even breathing but then he said.
"If you want to know how big of a scumbag I am," he took a pause and then drew his katana just bare enough to lift the hilt from its cover
"Bring it on..."
With his words the room became dead silent but then.
"If you are going that way" Pearl said and pulled out two needle which were a size of a knife and was connected with a thin thread
"No, No, what bring it on just stop it you guys" Same for fearless but filled with fear voice of Zorian.
Before they could clash or Arashi drew his katana out I finally stepped in.
But this time I released my flux with out any restriction from my own body.
All three froze the colourful world lost its colour the only colour remained was purple.
Zorian was pinned on the ground like ant, Pearl was terrified and couldn't breathe I didn't look at Arashi and said "lesson one is kill your teacher and for you three I am the teacher." I turned to see him after speaking and he was. He was SMILING.
"If you are interested in being a part of this team and my student would you mind telling us what are you smiling at??" I said with a cold face knowing that he couldn't talk in this pressure.
Suddenly a golden colour cut through my pressure only a small area of his mouth he wasn't able to talk then also but still he was better than any other student in the academy of first year.
"I am least interested in it but I must tell I was smiling because of thought seeing you headless" He said it with a smile and same confidence on his face like before.
"Very well then" I released the pressure
"We will start tomorrow morning don't be late" I said and left the room before they could react.
[Zorian Sterling - POV]
We all saw as the dragon hunter now our sensei left the room and disappeared in the shadows Before I could say anything.
"Ahh finally These 15 min were the worst since I was born" It was Pearl who broke the silence and close the distance between us.
"You know the room no. we 3 are staying for the next 6 years??" I asked the question to Pearl.
"Don't think for so far ahead in future Zorian you don't know what will happen the next second" It was Arashi with no emotion on his face nor in tone.
"Hey you ar—" I was interrupted
"Should he consider this as a threat or should we both" It was Pearl who became protective instantly.
"Take it as what ever you want but If you will become so excited to fight every time you might lose your head" he narrowed his eyes "And yes this is a threat" he said and grabbed the hilt of his sword.
Pearl again took out the needles with the string and started to take the stance.
"Waaittttttt" I shouted
"I am very hungry pearl please lets go to the room and then at mess and also I want to talk to you" I said all this in one breath.
"If you want then definitely" She smiled and pulled the needles back in and turned her back to Arashi.
It took us half and hour to find our room which was pretty small with three beds with classic floor, ceiling and overall room design with not even basic facilities If compared to my mansion but ok.
We wasn't allowed to bring lot of things but still it was a lot for the next few hours we were constantly working and organising our space.
Pearl did it quickly and then did most of my work also I took the first bed which was on entrance Pearl took the middle one and Arashi got the last bed near the window.
"All set now could we go and grab the dinner as the night has fall already" She said with a joy on her face
"We can't as the time for dinner has passed and also in few minutes the lights will be out too" I said with sadness
"Oh no so what will we do now??" She said with same level of sadness as me.
"Should we clean Arashi's side too as it looks like it is not part of our room" I said with no emotion just what I thought
"No!" her voice became scary "Just go sleep" she ordered.
She didn't wait for my response pushed me and pulled the blanket to my face and the lights went out at the exact moment.
I didn't fight nor reacted and as I was too tired I got into sleep without realising Pearl went out,
[Arashi Ushimoto - POV]
997... 998... 999.... 1000
1000 sword slashes completed before midnight The rate I am training is still insufficient to what I felt and saw in the class.
"He was too powerful"I whispered so low only I could hear it but.
"Indeed he was, but you can't go to his level in one day" It was the same competitive voice of Pearl filled with hatred.
"Here for a spar or finding death" I said with coldness.
"In my view a friendly spar in which you are gonna die" she said with teasing smirk
"Then what are you waiting for?? my order?" I said with out turning my head.
"No but actually I am waiting for you to unleash your god—" She was interrupted
"If you are interested then on the behalf of Arashi Senpai Pearl-san i will have a spar with you" It was a quiet yet a very authoritative tone.
"June Mizo an unclassified grade arcanist with a grade-s weapon Soul Sythe not pleased to meet you" I remained as I was before even though her irrestible charm was constantly attracting me.
"I will deal with you later senpai" She smiled and turned and pulled out her sythe
"Come on Pearl-san" She took stance as Pearl took her stance and smiled
[Cut - Blackout]
[Next day - 4 am Zorian Sterling - POV]
I woke up and saw that both Pearl and Arashi were ready I was late I was feeling guilty and about to apologize But.
"Are you up?? there is still time Zorian get up and get ready" It was same soft voice of Pearl
"Right away" I said and ran towards the restroom and came out in my formal clothes I used in my house
"I take my words back Zorian you are dumb as hell this wierdo put your uniform in the front so you could spot she even made special changes in your uniform and you still couldn't find it.leave it" He said insulting both me and Pearl
"What did you say" It was Pearl who was very furious which her tone was telling
"Please" I shouted "It was my mistake I am sorry I will be back in a minute Pearl please calm down for me and thank you for special treatment in making my uniform" I didn't wait for her reply and went to change my clothes to uniform.
It has special changes which only I had no one other uniform had not even Arashi's.
After this we first went to eat because I was going Pearl with me and Arashi can't start training alone so he was forced.
After this we finally went to our class my PTSD of yesterday's sensei power flex was making me sit straight and quite same goes for Pearl I can't say about Arashi.
1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour
He was 3 hours late on the first day as pearl was sleeping with open eyes and smile Arashi was doing pushup after the first hour had passed and he is doing pushup since then without stopping.
I whistle for calling kyris he sprinted out from pocket and made his size to original even on one day we had great chemistry.
"Kyris I don't know If you could do this but can you please go and search for Vance sensei" Without other word Vyrm vanished to find Vance sensei.
We waited another 40 min but when I was about to loose control I saw Arashi he was sweating so bad that the floor near him was wet.
His muscles and bones were making a sound that was the warning that they might break anytime but he wasn't stopping.
I was about to speak but the door opened very harsly it was Vance sensei with guilty smile and kyris on his shoulder
"We are already very late I think we should start the training right away" he said Pearl wake up and stood up I stood up straight and following both of us Arashi also stood up and adjusted his sword
But suddenly a circle around all 4 of us started spinning widly and taking a shape of a cutter it started spinning wildly.
I was amazed Pearl was shock Arashi he has no reaction all of his focus was on Vance sensei.
"It is air manipulation kids My name is Vance Kaze and Lets finally begin our first lesson:
KILL THE TEACHER.
In no time we were standing in an open Arena.
"There is no rule no time limitation nothing just one task kill me all of you show what have you got" he said this and Arashi sprinted towards left and Pearl to the right.
In this chaos I was alone who was barehanded and helpless suddenly the whole area went dark Pearl stopped.
Vance sensei smiled and then a single source of light went straight to cut sensei from middle only one voice came :
VOID - SUNDER STYLE... GRAVE ECLIPSE
It was like time stopped sensei was one cm away from getting sliced I saw Arashi's sword fully drawn for the first time it was golden and beautiful but to my shock sensei dodged it with a smile.
Arashi's face went from over confidence to dull in a second but other voice:
Thread Art: Silent Stitch
In a second Pearl's both hand moved with amazing Speed but as I could see sensei was intact he had stopped all attacks and had grabbed both the hands of Pearl with one hand and said
"POWER GETS YOU CLOSE, TIMING DECIDES EVERYTHING BUT GREED RUINS BOTH but remember training has just started."
