Scarlet
After the sparring, I take a quick shower before calling it a night. But the next morning, Im woken up by the sound of loud footsteps entering my suite.
I rub my eyes as I sit up in my bed, more than a little annoyed at being woken up. Again. For the third ti since coming here. Out of three nights.
Its not a robot this ti, as robots dont have footsteps. They simply roll in or hover over the ground.
Which ans its soone with the clearance to enter my suite. And I can only think of a few people who would likely have that clearance
Soon enough, I hear Allen shouting while banging on my door, not daring to open it when I could be undressed or sothing.
Scarlet! Wake up right now and explain to why the fucking hell you thought it would be a good idea to fight a demon knight over fifty levels above you!!!!
Oh.
I scowl at the door.
Hes just mad about that.
I glance down at myself to find that Im wearing a tank top and shorts before muttering, Its too early to deal with this. Then I glance at the clock to find that its six AM, only to look up at the door through sleep filled eyes and call back, Co back in a few hours!
Co back in what?! You cant just ignore this, young lady! he shouts, but Im already going back under the sheets and using my pillow to cover my ears.
Then I fall back into the comfortable confines of sleep.
Several hours later
I groan as I climb back to my feet from the mat, only to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Maybe going back to sleep was a bad idea.
My gaze goes towards the still-irate man whos been beating up since I woke up in sothing that he calls sparring. Which in reality, is nothing like the sparring I did with Sylver. This is more just him teaching while using the chance to take his anger out on .
Or is it the other way around?
Well either way, hes certainly enjoying our combat lessons with way too much vigor.
You too weak to move on? Or was that level fifty-three demon knight just sitting there for you to kill? Allen taunts , making a vein throb in my forehead as I rush at him again. Wrong. Only to be knocked flat on my ass again by Allen. You leave too many openings, not to ntion that you forgot to use your skills entirely in that attack. Try again.
I want. To punch. Him. Soooo badly!!
After a second of life draining him, which he learned about through Sylver and decided to use to lengthen our lessons, I climb back to my feet again and enter a ready stance, just like he and Sylver taught .
Good. Now again! he shouts, and I burst forward to attack.
A good five hours straight of pain later, I find myself barely dragging my sore body into the cafeteria where I order two of everything on the nu. Because using so much blood magic was quite possibly the most hunger inducing thing Ive ever done.
It doesnt help that he didnt let have much ti for lunch earlier either.
Also, is it just , or is everyone sending looks of pity?
I look around for a second to find everyone hurriedly turning away and focusing on their food.
My eyes narrow.
Definitely sothing going on here, but Im too tired to figure out what.
I sit at whats beco my regular table in the corner before lying my head on the table as I wait for my food to arrive. And only a few seconds later, I hear footsteps approaching. But at the sa ti, I dont sll any food. So I raise my head to see who it is, just to find Michael approaching without any food or anything, really. And hes still in his uniform.
Why do you always wear your uniform? I mutter while resting my head on my arms on top of the table.
Michael looks down for a second before looking at and answering, Well, the status it grants when Im out of the Association and the university campus. That and the magi-tech in it.
I blink in surprise, raising my head slightly.
It has magi-tech? I mutter, a little bit more curious about the uniform.
The nature magic Guardian looks at surprised for a second before answering, Yeah. You didnt know? Silver Works makes the uniforms.
My mouth parts open slightly for a second before closing again.
Oh. I mutter, only for the sound of food, err, the waiter approaching to grab my attention away from the man.
Sowhere in the corner of my mind I hear him chuckling as I quickly begin digging into my food the mont its placed in front of .
I can ask Allen later what the magi-tech in the uniforms do. For now, filling my empty stomach is more important.
Ti seems to freeze as I practically devour all of the food in front of before I make my way through towards my suite. And after sluggishly closing and locking the entrance, I walk over to my room, then flop on my bed, not bothering with a shower this ti, instead using clean. Because that would be more effort, and we cant have that.
I let out a sigh of relief the mont my face hits the pillow, and I dont even bother taking my jacket off to sleep, just like the first day I got here.
Out of the corner of my eye, I notice Tar appearing and tugging the blanket over .
Thank you I mutter, my eyes drooping before fully closing.
The number of tis he told not to push myself, and now hes doing this to ?
Must be karma.
Its got to be.
Just go to sleep, Tar says as I feel him lying next to . So I hug him while going to sleep.
