05 | abusing the power

"Did you see what happened there?"

Those were the only words that echoed down the hallway, every single student was talking about the incident happened during the lunch hour.

Jeon Jeongguk surely had the privileges and advantages but again they come with other stuff too and that was that he was being questioned over and over again about that issue.

Puzzled and perplexed, the blond barged into the headmaster's office because he himself needed answers more than anyone else surprising his father who was looking through some big fat book on the table.

"It's not how you walk in, son. Where are the manners?" the man with a triangular brown hat on asked, closing the book that instant before pushing his glasses up his nose bridge, a serious look on his face, "Next time, knock."

"I think we have a more important situation here rather than talking about my manners." Jeongguk said, voice coated with worry and cognition, "The whole school is asking me what happened in there. Now tell me what do I tell them, huh?"

"Calm down young man. I, being your father and the headmaster here― deserve some respect and obviously not this tone." his father said with a hint of disappointment and annoyance while he hardly rubbed his thumb against his left eyebrow, "And Jeongguk, you are not answerable to any of them."

"Maybe I am not but dad, they want a closure, they need an explanation." Jeongguk pointed out, throwing his backpack on the chair opposite to the one his father was sitting on.

They? Uh huh, it was just an excuse. He himself needed an explanation and the students of Belfort were just a pretense, just a plea, "Is this something to be worried about?"

"No, no. Of course not. It's just her wand. Mr. Ravi is fixing it and that's exactly what the problem was." he came up with this reason which Jeongguk knew was a lie because this doesn't just add up and of course he is not going to nod to agree and walk away.

"This happened yesterday as well dad, I am aware of it―" Jeongguk disclosed, that surprised the other a little too much as he widened his eyes at the statement and the younger could clearly his Adam apple bob a bit due to him gulping.

"Who else knows about this?" he almost whispered, pulling himself to his feet and Jeongguk just simply cleared his throat, "Uhm, just Kim Taehyung and Park Jimin I guess."

"You guess, you aren't sure―" the older man interrupted himself and let out the longest and loudest sigh possible at the moment while he gave his son a concerning look, "Make sure no one else knows about this and also, talk to them both and try to make them understand that they cannot tell this to anyone."

"Is everything alright―" Jeongguk couldn't finish his sentence when his father started speaking again, "And for the time being, if someone asks you what happened back there, tell them that the wand was problematic."

"Dad, what's happening?"

"I am afraid someone or something is trying to destroy the veil." the mage whispered softly, looking around the room for once, "I will myself go and check tonight."

"Should we be worried?"

"Let's hope it's not damaged much and we can fix it." he said not even looking at his son and rushed to the huge book shelves behind. With that ladder fixed there only for him, he climbed up and got two books, "Jeongguk, come here, help me with this."

"Get them on my table." he said totally forgetting that he could even do that with his spells. Jeongguk didn't bother to remind him and did what he was told to. He helped the headmaster getting the books and once they were settled on the table, he again got back to his usual spot and waited for his father to get off.
