Episode 4

Episode 4

At last classes have already ended. And guess what? I spent my all my hours sleeping in class. I feel so restless, I've been avoiding my classmate 'cause having them near me or talk to me just feels so weird. Where's that stupid dorm, I feel like I've been going around in circle, I just want to rest. I forgot to look for Sin today, nevermind... I'll just look for him tomorrow.

I was in the middle of my little dilemma when I felt a tap on my shoulder so I turn to look at that person. I don't know her name but I think she's in my class. "Hi! I'm Hue, are you looking for something?" I don't like talking to those whom I'm not close to but... I might as well ask for help since there's an opportunity. "Can't find the dorm" I said while looking at the surroundings. "Well if that's it, follow me then. I was on my way there anyway"

She seems nice, but she keeps on talking to me almost non-stop until we reach the dorm building. We parted ways as we got inside since my room is on the 3 floor. Why does it have to be there, It's too far for the lazy me. I should move, I can't just laze around. I came hear to get stronger anyway.

Room 303, Room 303... Ah there, finally I can rest. I wonder if my roommate is already inside, I hope she's nice.

I was expecting to see someone inside considering that I took a lot of time to get here but I was welcomed by the dark and empty room. I guess this is better, I'm not in the right state to make a conversation and try to socialize anyway. I unpacked my things and took a bath but my roommate is still not here. She might be quite the hardworking student, how admirable. However, considering that the world we're living in is no longer normal where people would aim to have higher grade academically to get a good job and position in society, I think it is quite useless. It would be better to focus on harnessing your skills. That's also one of the reasons on why I disagreed back then to enter the academy, rather than studying I deemed that making myself stronger is what's most necessary for myself.

I want to find them, the ones who killed Duer. Not to make revenge but for myself. Duer didn't tell me anything about them, but since they were looking for me, I assume that they knew who I really am. I was in the middle of my thoughts while I lay on my bed when I heard the door open. I didn't do anything wrong but I suddenly turned my back to face the wall quickly and pretended to be asleep.

Mina continued pretending to be asleep but monitored the strangers every movement inside there room. But due to restlessness, she couldn't help but fall asleep.

On the other hand the other person, is silently watching her fall asleep.

The Strangers short POV

I decided to get near her to observe and but I just couldn't help but touch her face. It's still the same even after so many years. You definitely look different from before, but that pitch black hair and red eyes is definitely the same. It's the same eyes that got me captivated.

"Pretending to be asleep then falling asleep in the end..*chuckle* How cute" I said with a low voice so she wouldn't wake up. Seeing how she is right in front of me now, I just can't help but smile. Funny how playful fate could be making us meet again. But I guess it's not yet the time for you to meet me finally. I can still remember it even the first sentence you spoke to me but how about you? You know It's funny how you keep looking at me last morning, I usually hate it but for some reasons... If it's you, it's fine. I don't usually take interest on other people, I don't believe in the importance of feeling for I think it's what makes people weak and I specially don't care about everything else, but you... You keep me grounded but at the same time you make me feel like I don't understand myself at all. I'm afraid to recognize what this is and I honestly usually don't stick around with people, but you're making me curious.

Is this just normal human nature? Or perhaps you're just making me insane. For some reasons, I feel a little regret within me 'cause I fail to recognize emotions as it is forbidden within our family. Tell me, will you be someone who'll free me from these chains? Or will you be someone giving me despair?

How may hours have I been sitting here on her bed? I keep think of useless things, how stupid, this is so not me. Anyway, it's almost time for dinner but she doesn't look like she's gonna wake up anytime. I wanna wake her up but I can see how tired she is and besides I'm quite feeling... Sleepy...as well.

I don't how or when but I just ended falling asleep next to her.

-----

The light shining from the window woke me up, damn It's already morning? How many hours did I sleep... Wait... This isn't my bed, Arrgh how stupid can I be, this is so inappropriate.

I was about to leave the bed when I felt her move like she's about to wake up. Sh*t what do I do? She's about to open her eyes when...

Citlalmina's POV

My stomach is aching, I'm hungry. When did I even fall asleep? I should open my eyes and get up. Is gravity this heavy in the morning like always? I feel so heavy. I tried shifting and was about to open my eyes when I was suddenly hit in the face without even knowing why. *PAKK!*

Arrgh! What was that? I was literally sent back to my people not even knowing who did it and was only able to hear that person's footstep as they left the door. I touched my stinging face asking myself in my mind, Just why? Why did I get punched on the face early in the morning. I didn't even do anything. Who is she anyway? Is this how crazy women can be? Arrgh nevermind I need to get ready and head to the cafeteria to eat breakfast before heading to our first class.

How strong is my roommate. Crazy woman with brute strength, my lip got busted just a veeeery great way to start my day. *Sigh* Move it mina, settle this next time.

Walking down the hallways at this hour where only few students would walk plus the light emitting from the sun piercing through the leaves is quite a scenery, it feels so peaceful. I quickly finished the breakfast I took a while ago since I took a lot of time preparing myself than what I expected. I don't like schools, but I hate being late more.

I got inside our classroom, some were looking at me and some just ignore. They can do what they want, even insulting me, I don't care as long as it's not outright slandering. Classes started after a few minutes, I don't really want to listen but I guess information can be useful sometimes so I tried to focus on listening. "Sir, what job can we get after graduating in this field?" ask by one of my classmate, why enter this academy when you don't know that. "Unlike normal schools for those who doesn't have an ability, graduating on our field either allows you to be a mercenary, a knight by some nobles, a soldier for our kingdom or a hunter" Professor Damian said. Yeah right, anything that involves fighting, killing or protecting. That's the job we could get. It might sound dull however those jobs has the highest rate when it comes to salaries. "--- ever since the evil king who betrayed human race got involve with demons, monsters have appeared in a lot of places, scattered. And even if he was defeated back then, those monsters did not perish. As you've all heard monsters appear and attack more frequently than the last past years. We're going to focus on your training more than usual since the year of his rebirth might be near--" I wasn't able to hear what Sir Damian said next. My mind was wandering as he mentioned those. Come to think of it, a lot of monsters really did appear where I went before I was sent here and they were more aggressive than before.

*sigh* Evil King huh? I plan to get stronger and be able to face him when the time comes. I guess I have to train harder than usual to achieve my goals since things are happening quicker than what I expected. Evil King, the king who sold his soul and his people for greed, I hate you for you are the cause of all these things, the world's a mess that I resent you even without knowing who you really are however I have a lot of questions for you that only you might be able to answer. I shall do what I can so I can face you, even if it means meeting my end.
