Chapter 23 Pretty Face



He grimaced at the question directed at him.

'How am I meant to answer that? I just got here!!' His thoughts screamed, but he masked his frustration with a smile.

"Student..." His voice trailed, looking around him for any clue.

Upon sighting a red haired female, he pulled her to his side closely.

She was stunned by his action, but quickly recovered.

"What the hell are you doing?" She hissed through gritted teeth.

She reminded him much of Mune, she had every characteristic apart from her attitude and choice of clothes.

'The academy even allows this kind of clothing.' He stared at her in awe.

She wore a revealing cloth, a black mini dress that just barely covers her buttocks and a pair of knee-high, low-heeled black open toed sandals.

This was the safest bet for him, he had to use her presence to his advantage.

"Help me this once." He pleaded, "your name, please."

It took a moment to understand what he was driving at. He wasn't even properly dressed, but his shirt caught her attention.

"That cloth..." She began.

"Lumina, do you two know each other?" Mr Zhao tilted his head to the side, he couldn't understand why they were bickering at each other.

"No."

"Yes."

Lumina growled in his direction, her big green eyes glaring daggers at him.

"She was the student who told me so much about you." He slapped her back, making her jerk forward.

Electricity sparked out of her eyes, she vibrated in rage at the embarrassment she had just endured.

'So her gift is lightning!' He took a few steps back as he instantly regretted his action.

He was only trying to establish the cordial relationship he wanted to portray to Mr Zhao.

"How dare you!" She clenched her hands into a fist about to attack.

"That's enough!" Mr Zhao slammed his hand into the wall, causing a hole in it to get her attention.

Nix jumped back a bit at the immerse strength of this teacher, clearly he needed more intel on them before engaging.

Lumina's rage subsided greatly, she dropped her hand. "You were able to slip through my fingers this time." She sneered.

'Oh please. More like you were lucky I hadn't activated any of my gifts.' He rolled his eyes, her usefulness was already way overdue.

"Please control your anger, for your sake." Mr Zhao reasoned.

He could sense something was different about this student. Whatever it was he would keep an eye on him for the time being.

"What is your name?" He turned his attention towards Nix.

Pretending to be slow witted, he pointed at himself then at Lumina. "Are you talking about me or her?"

She facepalmed at his answer. First he had gotten on her nerves, now he was outright playing stupid.

"Do you have a death wish?" She snarled, the more she stayed, the more angered she got.

"Oh, you meant me!" He nodded his head.

He didn't need any confrontation yet, what better way than playing dumb to keep the big dogs from your trail?

[Master, what are you doing?!] Mune hissed into his ears.

"I didn't call for you." He whispered, hoping they couldn't hear what he was saying.

[I felt your heart waver the more you looked at this lady] She ignored his questions, rather glaring daggers at Lumina.

Lumina frowned, not only was he pretending to be slow witted, but he was also trying to prove he could be crazy?

Realizing everywhere had suddenly turned silent, he raised his head to see them staring at him closely, awaiting an answer.

"I am not crazy." He raised his hands in defense, he needed to establish that fact before he continued.

"Alright, Mr not so crazy." Lumina spat. "Teacher Zhao obviously asked a question earlier."

"You're really pushing it pretty face!" He muttered under his breath.

"How can I also address you that is more fitting, since we are so close to one another?" She placed her hands on her slender waist.

[Master, would you like me to shut her up?] Mune raised her imaginary sleeve, her little hands glowed a distinctive gold.

Shaking his head at Mune, she lowered her guard, sighing.

"My name is Nix." He replied curtly. "If there are no more questions, I will be on my way to find my dorm now."

"I haven't seen you around the premises before, you must be a new recruit here."

"Surely he is, Sir." Lumina replied in his stead. "Or else he would know the basics."

"Could you please shut up!" Nix barked, startling both of them.

Exhaling, he bowed in the direction of Mr Zhao. "I will be taking my leave now, Sir."

"Wait!" Lumina called after him.

Excusing herself, she gave chase to Nix.

"Nix! Wait up!"

Cross popping veins made their way to Nix's forehead, it almost felt like he was digging his grave. He didn't want to be followed, attention was the least of his worries but now this pretty face with a sharp tongue was making it a lot difficult for him to move down the hallway unnoticed.

Halting in his step, he turned around to face her squarely.

Lumina didn't have the time to screech to a stop, colliding into his arms.

Nix froze, the soft cushion of her bust squished in on him.

Recovering from the initial shock, he pushed her off him, clearing his throat.

"What do you want?" He looked away from her, his cheeks were starting to heat up.

Lumina's hand shot up to her chest, steadying her breathing. "I... I..."

'What a total waste of my precious time.' He internally facepalmed.

"If that is all, I would request you stop shouting my name. In no way would I like to be affiliated with ticking time bomb." He responded.

"Time bomb?" Lumina tilted her head in confusion.

Nix facepalmed, he had wanted that to irk her, yet she looked more confused about the word, than the meaning.

"You know what? Just forget about it." He sighed, he couldn't stand there anymore. He needed to find his ward first.

"Steer clear of my path." He warned, his eyes gleaming coldly.

She shuddered at the demeaning aura that seethed off him, gulping she reconsidered her actions carefully.

"Wait! Please!" She pressed on.

Nix raised his face upwards, her persistence was starting to get to him.

"Your shirt, where did you get that?" She finally spoke out.
