*Davis' POV.*
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I was planning to end it after the first move but you guys really surprised me. The only thing that you guys lack are control and proper Fighting technique for Noir. You guys can relax now."
""Thank you for your guidance""
I felt the presence of a rat hiding in my own house. Really ridiculous! I can't Imagine
how dumb he is for hiding in my own house no matter how strong his stealth is.
"You're welcome. Ruby please take care of them. I will go out for a while to do something."
"Yes father."
I left them into Ruby's care. I hide in the top of the tree as I watched the rat from afar. He didn't even notice me watching him. He is holding a camera with a video of me
and the kids Sparring match. He was about to leave then I dashed in front of
him.
"Surprise!"
"WHAT!?"
I clenched my fists and give him a blow in the gut making him growl in pain.
*THUG!!*
"*ARGH!!*"
*THUD!*
He lost consciousness and fell down. He lost his stealth power and his appearance was showed. He has a messy gray hair and thin body. I picked him up like a sack of potatoes. I left there and flew towards to
the Association. I went directly to Arnolds office hoping to try that he was
there. I entered the room and saw him working with a dark eyebags and dead
expression. The mountains of papers scattered.
*Scratch! Scratch!
Scratch! Scratch!*
This is bad, He didn't even noticed me. George must have forced him to do his work. George has been kind to him these days because Arnold let them know that his daughter was safe in the Dream Labyrinth. However few days is the limit.
He's definitely in a bad mood but I have to report. I'm a brave person that never run. I'm a brave person that never run. I repeated it like a mantra.
*Phew!*
*Knock! Knock!*
"Tsk! What is it?"
"I need to report something."
"Is it really that important to report it to me directly? Or do you want to die?"
Sigh! He's hopeless
"Yes it's important" and I threw a man like garbage bag into the floor.
"Who is that? Someone you kidnapped somewhere? Are you a human
trafficker now? That's indeed important!"
"ARE YOU STUPID!? This is a spy that I caught!.
"Ohh? A spy. I see then report it to George. That's his problem."
*Sigh!* This is my life now.
"There's no need to come to me. I'm already here. So what happened?"
George entered carrying a lot of paperwork in his hands.
"No! No! No! No more work!"
Arnold whimpers.
"Don't act pathetic, You are one of the strongest Espers in the world. Don't put the Espers Association in shame."
I ignored their usual banter and report directly. I don't want to get involved with their stupidity.
"I caught this guy peeking at our sparring match at my house. Here is the camera."
"Mhm, I will investigate it. So how was the kids training?"
"They are really strong. They have the potential to surpass
Arnold."
"That's a relief."
Then I remembered something
"If I remember correctly you will put that kid Noir into the elite class right the day after tomorrow right?"
"Indeed."
"Poor students and teachers that would antagonize him." I could only pray for them
"They deserve what will happen to them. I believe that Noir wouldn't do unreasonable things so I trust him. If trouble comes I will take care of it. Yulia is also watching him so things wouldn't go out of control."
" You already thought about it? You deserve to be George."
George grabbed the unconscious guy and I left Arnolds office with him.
*Noir's POV.*
2 days later
It's morning again
and I will preparing to go to school I arrived outside of the apartment and I was
surprised to see Yulia's car coming.
*Broom!!* Beep! Beep!
It stopped in front
of me and it opened. I saw Yulia and she talked to me telepathically.
(Thank goodness! I thought you would have left long ago. Get
in the car.)
I get in the car and asked
(What is it?)
(This is my father's idea because apparently there is an Esper watching us in teacher uncle Davis' house. Uncle Davis noticed and caught him. So it's better for us to stay together.)
(Tsk! We still lack of vigilance.)
( True. We still have a long way to go.)
(Yulia to there's something I want to asked.)
(What is it?)
(When will we dive into the Dream Labyrinth again?)
(Don't be impatient we still need to master our powers to be prepared but even with that, it is still unknown if we are safe when we dive in.)
(I know, I just want to prepare myself.)
We arrived at the school together which surprised the students and teachers especially when they saw me coming out of Yulia's car. The male students are going crazy repeatedly saying "Why him? Why him?" or "It should have been me! Not him!" but we just ignored them.
I was about to enter in my class room but Yulia stopped me.
(I forgot to tell you that you're an elite student now. Didn't you get notifications?)
(Eh!?) I took out my phone from my ring and it just arrived because it just received signal.
She sighed
(*Sigh!* I thought so. You're so careless. My father is right, I really need to watch you closely.)
(Why?)
(Because you're so clueless about how the world works. If the other countries knows about your abilities, it could start a war! So be careful!)
(Well, I'm so sorry about being clueless. I'm an orphan so I always need to worry about how can I live for another day.)
She was about to cry but she stopped her tears from flowing.
(Sorry I didn't meant that.)
(No need to say sorry. I supposed to say it as a joke but I made you cry instead. I'm really not good at making jokes.)
(Who's crying!? I'm not crying it's just dust suddenly flew into my eyes.)
(Sure, whatever you say. Since I'm already here. I'll say goodbye to Simon)
" Hello Simon!" I shouted.
"Tsk! Are here to show off you lucky bastard?"
"Haha! Don't be like that I just come here—.
on the second thought I indeed come here to show off. I'm going to follow Yulia to the elite class Alef."
"Just get out of here YOU LUCKY BASTARD!!!. You already have
a beautiful and rich girlfriend and you even had the chance to follow her to
the elite class? I'm so ENVIOUS!!
*Sigh! I already told you already that we're not in a relationship aren't I? But I didn't say that out loud.
I just waved at him and said goodbye. I
followed Yulia to her classroom and all the attention was focused on me. Some looked
at me with envy, some with ill intent, with curiosity and some don't care. I
don't care though, I'm going to do what I need to do and I don't need their
recognition. I can feel that trouble will come.
(Noir, just sit beside me.)
(Okay.)
*THUD!*
"Yulia!, Noir! Good morning!"
The door was slammed and Ruby entered the room like a normal person.
"Mhm"
*Wave*
Yulia responded with her usual nod and I just waved at her.
"Come on show some enthusiasm, just like when you said that you would support me. I will introduce my friends to you later."
Silence covered the room.
Is she serious? Theatmosphere is bad enough. It would be a problem if she added fuel to the fire. This is the "Elite class" I'm not ignorant enough to not know that they are not just elite in academics and psychic powers but also in truest sense, Family backgrounds.
(Heh! Welcome to the headache club.)
(I thought she would be so smart since she said she's going to run for the student council president.)
(She is smart, probably? But her way of thinking is problematic.
I can do anything except guessing the thought of weird people.) Yulia explained
A girl with short brown curly hair and dark green eyes come over and greeted Ruby.
"Good morning Ruby! Do you know the new guy?"
"Good morning Nica! It's not that you don't know him do you?"
"Umu! Noir Egas from Gimel class. He was famous because of
his re- awakening but people lost their interest after knowing that his psychic
powers are useless. No offense"
"None taken"
Then she continued.
"Good! But the most unexpected thing is him having a date
with Yulia Rouge the day after both of them re-awakened which caught the
attention of the people in the academy."
"As expected of you." Ruby praised
"That's what you get from having a lot of friends. Shall we
go down together? I want to know more about you two."
I looked at Yulia
(I forgot to tell you that the schedule of our class. The first class is psychic training.)
(I see, then shall we go together?)
(Sure!)
"Okay!"
"Yay! Let's go."
We walked towards to the training ground for the elite student. It was separated from the ordinary class. She started asking questions.
"Is the rumors are true that you guys are in a
relationship?"
"no, we're just close friends."
"Eh? I have never seen an opposite gender friends that is as close as you two."
"I don't know."
"Okay then, the next question is—
She just talked and asked many to things about myself, about Yulia and how I become friends with Ruby. I also answered what is
allowed to be answered and Ruby intervened sometimes. That continued until we arrived at the training ground for the elite class.
The rest of thestudent of the elite class also arrived and waiting for the teacher to arrived.
The tall guy with dark blue hair kept looking at me with malicious intentions
and wanting to cause trouble but he controlled himself when he looked at Yulia.
Who would blame him?
Anyone would want to show off in front of an extremely beautiful girl like
Yulia. I kinda did that in the labyrinth when we first met.
The teacher finally showed up. He glanced at me like I owe him something and clicked his tongue. An elitist teacher, thankfully I read a lot of novel about this and those novels didn't lie to me.
"Today we will start with duels to test each students abilities."
Here we go with the cliché.
The next thing will happen will be the blue hair guy will raise his hand and will
challenge me.
"Sir!"
"Yes Fran Bowens."
"I want to challenge the re-awakened student from the Gimel
class."
Yep as I expected. They looked ate with pity, only Yulia and Ruby doesn't care.
The teacher grinned.
"Okay. Both of you can stand at the center."
"I had enough with all of you getting all the
attention as a mere commoner."
He talked with arrogance.
I had enough with 4th rate character.
"START!"
His eyes has red
glows and several shadow whips emerged from his shadow. The tip of the shadows became sharper and quickly attacked me and I dodged it
Let's just finished
it off. I straightened my index finger and covered it with black lightning. I
started walking towards him. He continuously whipped me with sharp shadows but
I just parried all of it with my finger and walked without stopping. He started
panicking when I arrived in front of him.
"This is impossible! You're just a commoner, how could you
do this?"
"There's something
oddly familiar about these scene." Ruby awkwardly commented.
I have nothing to say so I just poked him with black
lightning
*brrrrrzzzzzzzt!*
"Arrgh!"
THUD!
He fell down and lost his consciousness. Everyone widen
their eyes, shocked that the scenes they imagined didn't happened but the
opposite. I won easily.
