Chapter 13 - Busted
At the end of class, I was suddenly surprised when I didn't see Cal.
Mr Barbary
Honestly, that boy better not show his face in front of me again! I'll send the hounds on him, that's it.
Seems like Cal and the professor don't get on well...
As I went to leave class, something suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled up my hand.
Benjamin Snowden
Well, well, well... you said that you got bitten? So care to explain why you are burnt, little prodigy?
Oh gosh... was I going to get busted on the first day?
Then, a strong arm slapped the boy's hand away and pulled me back.
Cal Bentley
Don't touch her.
Benjamin Snowden
Oh... is this little girl yours?
Benjamin Snowden
You should be more careful. She might burn herself more if she doesn't pay attention.
Benjamin Snowden
I'm intrigued by you, Amy Brace...
And just like that, he walked away.
Amy Angel
We've got to tell Chester-
Cal Bentley
No. He won't tell anyone. He doesn't understand enough of it. Besides, Benjamin Snowden has no one to tell it to. He's a lone wolf and has no friends.
I watched him as he walked away.
A lone wolf... just like how I used to be.
Seen as the freak who never belonged...
Mr Barbary
Calvin Bentley...
I heard a sharp voice as Cal saw Mr Barbary emerge from his classroom.
Mr Barbary
You are late... and class is already finished.
Mr Barbary
You're done for now, boy.
Cal turned pale and suddenly darted leaving me and Mr Barbary behind.
Mr Barbary
H-Hey! No, come back here!
Mr Barbary
General! Savoie!
Two cats suddenly jumped from the shadows and chased after a panicked Cal.
I guess that even a devil can be scared of something...
I then turned around and smiled.
I then started to follow Benjamin. I wanted to thank him for standing up to me.
As I chased after him, I past by many different devils. The corridor didn't seem as scary now that I knew that I could perform magic.
As I chased after him, I noticed that he was disappearing under a tree.
I smiled and quickly ran across the corridor to find him.
Arriving at the tree, I peeked and my eyes went wide when I saw impressive sketches of different monsters.
Amy Angel
Hey, is that a Fire wolf?
He suddenly tensed and slammed his sketchbook shut.
Benjamin Snowden
What are you doing here?
Amy Angel
Hm? Oh, I came to thank you!
Benjamin Snowden
For what?
Amy Angel
Standing up for me in class...
He then looked at me, and then at my hand. He then grabbed my wrist and pulled me down.
And then he graciously licked my burn, making me blush and retract my hand.
Then, the tingling stopped and I noticed the burn heal up until there was nothing but a scar.
Benjamin Snowden
A Devil's blood, sweat, tears and saliva are all burn proof.
Benjamin Snowden
They heal any minor burns automatically.
Benjamin Snowden
So explain to me why you got burnt just then? What exactly are you because you don't look like a devil to me.
