[...]
Shaking his head, he proceeded to end the discussion there.
'We leave for the dragon's territory tomorrow.'
Mune gave it a thought, she understood that battling against them would bring about a positive increase in his leveling up. She nodded her head in response.
Canceling his call on her, he pushed Lank away from his sleeping space. Laying down in his position.
–––––––––––
The sun's rays crept in through the window, reflecting off the ceiling, casting a hazy light around the room.
Lank sighed, rolling over. He then felt sothing on his neck–a strange feeling. He squinted his eyes, but the strange feeling did not leave. He was startled the mont he saw a leg. He gasped, and looked closer in case of a mistake.
He was finally able to determine that it was Nix's foot that he had felt on his neck. He had not wanted to believe it was Nix, but he had no other explanation. Nix was here.
"Don't you know how to sleep right? You're supposed to sleep on the other side." he said, rolling his eyes.
"Says the person who couldn't maintain his sleep schedule." Nix said, sarcastically, leaning against the wall. He then proceeded to stretch his arms, then his legs before getting up.
Walking over to the door, he lightly tapped it, signaling he wanted to leave. There was no ti to spare.
Lank got up, and went to the door, placing his hand on the door.
"There you go." He gestured out the door.
Click!
Nix pulled it open, stepping out, he looked over his shoulder at Lank, who was still standing in front of the door.
"Thank you." he said, then turned around and walked out.
Walking down the stairs, he carefully placed his feet on each step, not making a sound. He ca to a stop, and turned around.
He could feel sothing, there was a faint presence behind him, lurking in the shadows. He turned around, looking for it, "show yourself!" He growled.
Stepping out was a quetzal, it's golden talon in full display.
'It's just a weird looking bird.' He heaved a sigh of relief.
There was sothing about it that had triggered his senses, and he continued to look at it for a while, thinking of what it ant.
'It's her, my shapeshifting character!' he stared, waiting for her to transform, with eyes filled with curiosity.
As he had expected, she shapeshifted to her normal human form, staring at Nix in silence.
He didn't want to speak. He just stared back, in awe at how cool that looked as opposed to his artwork.
"I know what you're thinking, but you don't need to feel awkward, my na is Ayanami. I knew I might not get a close up glimpse of you in class, so I had waited to et you here for a formal introduction." she paused, and slowly approached him. Stretching her hand forward.
"I don't do handshakes." He replied dryly. "Not especially to those who stalk like a creep." he looked at her, and she could see the anger in his eyes.
His interest was totally lost the mont she had indirectly confird his suspicions.
"Do not cross my path in such a manner, it would be saddening if I ended up with a roasted quetzal in my hands." He sneered.
Ayanami kept her hands to her side. Then she closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. She had not expected such a reaction from him.
He should know that she was from class A, one of the most elite teams in the whole academy.
"You don't know who I am?" She placed her hand on her waist, removing her red-threaded obiji, slowly and seductively.
'What the heck is going on?' Nix stared with wide eyes.
"Not that I should care." Nix retorted, gulping down and tearing his gaze away from her as soon as she also dropped her obi wrapped around her waist.
"Have you gone mad?" Nix hissed. He had realized she was really serious with what she planned on doing. To make it worse they were out in the open, soone could walk by at any ti.
She paused, her gaze fixated on him, the mont he had said those words, "you're right. It's so shaless doing so here, how about we get to your dorm? Lumina should already be in her class by now." She giggled.
Nix was majorly angered by the fact that he was delayed by a total stranger. When he leaves the academy, he wasn't expecting anyone to be following him, especially soone who seems to have so information on him, like a spy.
"How conceited you must be." Nix snarled.
"Perhaps, are you into a different kind of fun?" She taunted.
'Be calm, be calm. It was an error drawing such a despicable character. You can do this!' He closed his eyes montarily, clenching his fingers.
Ayanami had her soft pink lips raised at the effect she was able to have on him. Those who she had developed an interest in had never turned her down and he wasn't going to be the first.
"Have you made your decision yet?" She questioned, adjusting her clothing to the way it was.
At that mont, a student passed by, a confused expression on her face before she looked ahead, trying to mind her business.
"Don't try to follow, I will be able to sense you. I won't be so generous next ti." Nix warned, his eyes gleaming coldly.
Ayanami felt the aura around him change drastically. Reluctantly, she nodded in reply. Then she turned around, shapeshifting into a snake with blue scales and a white stripe on the back of her head. She then slithered down the stairs at a fast pace.
Nix was furious. The taunts she had used, however, was not his concern right now. He had other things to think about. He started walking down the stairs. His primary objective was to find a way to save himself.
Pulling out his pass, he let it lead him towards his dorm. '69... 69...' he repeated in his thoughts, until he finally saw the door.
Click!
The door was opened, and he walked into the room. He laid down on the bed, taking a deep breath, and closing his eyes.
The familiar lavender scent of the sheets caressed his nostrils. He sighed, relaxing as he felt his body drifting to sleep. His eyes suddenly shot open.
He had a goal in mind, he couldn't sleep, he had to keep his mind sharp. He walked into the bathroom, and turned on the water. He splashed the water with his hand, and waited for it to get warm. "Perfect."
–––––––––––
Nix sat down on the chair, thinking of the best way he could plan his escape without bringing much attention to himself.
The experience with the statue was enough incentive to think this through and plan it accordingly.
'The roof!' He got up, and placed both his hands on the window sill. He peered towards the roof. He witnessed one of the guards look in the direction of his window, and he brought his head back in, hiding imdiately.
'I need a disguise...'' he thought. Even if he was spotted, he would definitely not want to be identified so easily.
'The only way to escape undetected, would be to completely change my outlook and beco a different person.'
He racked his thoughts on the possibility of being in possession of sothing of that choice. His eyes widened briefly before it changed to sothing more sinister.
"Now who said the rewards aren't a blessing in disguise?" He raised a brow, calling up his inventory.
