"The match was very exciting," Niken said to Karyn as they walked towards their cla.s.s."Right? But the match was finished longer than usual since Scarlet only played around with her fireb.a.l.l.s. I wonder why she changed her tactics."
"Play around?"
"For fire elementalists, fireb.a.l.l.s are only toys. Even small children could do it. Only the fireball that made by kids goes out immediately. It takes practice and skill to keep fireb.a.l.l.s alive so they don"t die out quickly."
"Isn"t that like looking down on his opponent?"
"Yes, you can call it like that."
Once in cla.s.s Niken saw one of his cla.s.smates still sleeping in the same place.
"That person, Won"t it be hurt for his neck when he wakes up later? It looks like the sleeping position doesn"t feel comfortable either."
"Leave him alone. That is not anything new."
"Shouldn"t we wake him up?"
"Don"t! He is from the wolf clan. Don"t you know? Don"t try to wake the sleeping beast, otherwise, you will...be eaten." Karyn said the last words with a very soft voice.
"But he is our cla.s.smate. He can"t hurt us right?"
"I thought you were shy. But it seems I"m wrong."
"No. You are right. I am indeed shy and not good at socializing with strangers. But I can get rid of my reluctance if a stranger asks me for help. I don"t like the people around me getting hurt."
"Wow, I"ve never met anyone who has a kind heart like you."
"Kya ... kya .." came the excited voices of the girls outside the cla.s.sroom.
"What sound is that?"
"Ah, it"s definately because of our beloved senior."
Soon enough, a handsome dark brown hair man entered the cla.s.sroom. He had a golden-yellowish eye that very harmonious with the color of his pale-white skin. The man was very tall and very handsome.
Apart from her brother, Niken had never seen a guy as handsome as that.
"Hoy, Kazu! Get up! We"re getting late."
Not long after his name was called, the man called Kazu woke up from his slumber and looked lazily at the person who called him.
When Niken saw the face of her sleeping cla.s.smate who had just woken up, Niken was stunned. She felt her heart stop at that moment.
That man, her cla.s.smate who liked to sleep was no less tall and handsome as the golden-eyed senior. This man had the same eye and hair color.
Solid black like ink.
She wanted to look into the man"s eyes. Alas the man himself was not even interested in his surroundings at all. He just walked lazily towards his friend who called him while yawning with no care about the world.
"I know that reaction." teased Karyn. "All girls will have that reaction who see their faces for the first time."
"Who are they?"
"The one who had golden eyes is our senior. He"s the same as you, a water elementalist. His name is s.h.i.+n Ha. Even though he is very weak and has no ambition whatsoever, he is very famous among girls. He is very friendly and gentle to everyone.
Who cares if he is weak. What"s important is that he has a handsome prince-like aura. He is the ideal man of all girls. Unfortunately, he"s in C-cla.s.s. So we can"t be in the same cla.s.s as him except for the hunting cla.s.s which means now. Come on! We must go quickly."
Karyn kept on chattering while taking a few books that will be needed in the hunting lesson later.
