"Wait, what!!?" An elegant old lady wearing a kimono opened the sliding door.

"Honey, why are you here?" The teacher asks with a surprised face.

"Ehem, forgive me for sudden interrupting your meeting darling. It's just I heard something important. I know it's rude, but I need to ask something important to Lena."

The old lady sat in front of Lena. Her hair was fixed in a neat bun. You can see the elegance from her bearing and poise despite her old age

Her name is Xue Chusei, the wife of Lena's teacher, Ryu Chusei.

"Lena, from your words, you saw them fight. Did you see a talking brown teddy bear with this symbol?" The symbol is a red maple leaf with an additional unique design.

"Umm, I don't remember whether the teddy bear has this symbol, but I saw a talking teddy bear with them. They were fighting behind the school yesterday."

"Ohh, that annoying little-, ehem! Thank you for that information. I shall leave now darling. I will be going outside today because I need to drag that stupid little bear fufufu~" A chilling aura is noticeable from the old lady despite her smile.

As Madam Xue leaves, all of us have a sigh of relief.

Madam Xue is a kind person, but the moment she gets angry, I don't want to even experience her wrath again.

Forgive me little bear, I hope you survive.

"It seems you have already seen something supernatural Lena. Seeing that, explaining this will be faster."

"That child is born from the negative emotions of different beings. There are steps that lead to their evolution. Right now, that child is a newborn, but he is strong enough to fight countless fighters. They are known as Skotadi."

As teacher Ryu explained, the child trembled, as if afraid to let me know the truth.

"Newborns follow their instinct. If newborns like him were not guided carefully, they might hurt normal human beings. Beings like him are handed to an organization. Don't fret, this organization is led by adult beings like him. They can guide and help him to understand the rules in this region."

"I don't want to go there! I just want to live in this town and yet, just because I am what you call a Skotadi, everyone hunts me! Why is it so unfair?" The child shouted as he hides his face on Lena's back.

Lena can feel the trembling hands of the child.

From the child, the black vines started to crawl within the room. His black aura started to pressure the people inside it except Lena.

Lena can see the terrified face of her seniors and started to ready their weapons. Lena can't see the vines, thus she assumed that her seniors were seeing something that she can't.

The pressure is increasing every second. Beads of sweat started to form to the disciples.

This being is dangerous! Xana thought as she was about to sheath her sword.

"Everyone, calm down!" Teacher Ryu said in a deep and loud voice. To think this child has great control to not let Lena feel the pressure, what a prodigy.

*Young child, you may be strong, but the world is wide, there are countless beings that surpass you. The reason I am proposing this to you is that there are illegal organizations that want to catch and hurt you. And this threat will spread to those around you. * Teacher Ryu said telepathically to the child.

*You know what I mean, right? *

From those words, the child looks at Lena with a sad face.

Ignorant children are easily attached to those who show kindness to them, and for the young Skotadi, his attachment to Lena is great even with only a couple of days since they have met.
