The White Wolf

Chapter 9 - Your Fault

No one dared to open the door or to interrupt. To be Frank they were terrified on what would happen if they did, the mana alone was pressuring in uncomfortable ways adding on to that, the sound of such aggressive shouting. Who would even dare? To the Wizard King. Whoever was shouting so angrily was someone they silently agreed they didn't want to come across or interfere with. There was a thought in their mind that they would end up a corps on the ground.

Within the office, you angrily stood across from Julius alongside Nozel, Dorothy, and William. Nozel was simply annoyed by your presence; especially with the disrespect you'd been showing. Dorothy was worried for you, knowing you'd been badly injured as well; you were probably the one who walked out with the most injuries. William was worried for both you and the Wizard King; he knew how powerful you were.

"Do you now understand? They could have died. The members from the Golden Dawn, the Black Bulls. My own squadmate could have died. All because you could plan out to keep your solders in check. Because your planning failed. Zenon is in the infirmary on watch for secondary drowning, as well as his re-broken arm, cracked ribs, and a sprained knee. The others got injured too, yet you don't seem to give a single shit about it!" You weren't shouting so much as your cold tone of voice was filled with non-passive aggression. "(Y/N) please-" Getting cut off you glared at the Captain of the Golden Dawn. "No, let him go, William. He needs to be heard just like everyone else" Julius gestured for William to stop.

Julius turned back to face your aggressive figure, "I understand your concerns and your well-placed anger, but insulting me won't get you anywhere. It won't help them..." Julius tried. "Get me no-where? It tells you exactly where you fucked up!" "That's enough! I will not tolerate such vulgar language and insults towards the Wizard King" Nozel snapped at you. "Shove it, you royal prick" Your eyes shone as you glared at him out of the corner of your eyes.

The eye contact you shared became more intense when both of your mana began to form around you. "Uh- guys...?" William called out to you but got no reaction. Before things could heat up more, the doors were thrown open, "hello guys~! Sorry we're late!" You immediately stepped back, looking at the female that had entered alongside Yami. "Captain!" You saluted her instantly. "How's my favourite Vice-Captain doing? I heard you got yourself into a bit of trouble~!" "I'm sorry, ma'am." "Ofelia, Yami" William greeted them calmly. "Don't you have perfect timing today" Dorothy chirped.

"You called Julius?" Yami glanced to him. "Yes. We needed to discuss what happened at Kiten, and we have. Now we're just waiting on individual reports." Julius smiled at him. "What happened in Kiten was your foolishness and nothing else." You glared at Julius from where you stood. "Watch it" Nozel warned you. "Or what?" Your starring contest with Nozel once again picked off. "(Y/N), Captain Nozel, please..." William pleaded. "Enough. We all need to work together to prevent an incident like this from happening again-"

"We? It's all your damn fault-!""Calm down, (Y/N). Being cold and aggressive won't get us anywhere will it now?" Ofelia smiled back at you. "But Captain-" you went to protest; your voice had calmed completely from your previous angered comments. "I can handle this, don't you worry. Go down and check on Zenon's status for me. Organize his transport back to our base, okay?" Lowering your head you nodded, "yes, ma'am." You saluted her before leaving the room with no further comment.

"Geez. I have no idea how you tamed that wild one" Yami looked at Ofelia in shock, his cigarette butt dropping form his mouth. "Nah! He's not that wild, he just needs that little extra support. I chose him for my squad because he is so unique. In both his behavior, morals, magic, and attitude. He's just... different." Ofelia explained with a smile.

"You're awake" you hid the shock in your eyes. "Yeah. I woke up a few minutes ago" Zenon smiled at you. "I can tell." Zenon raised a hand to his hair and smoothed it out, "yeah. I can only imagine." He laughed a little, "I can only say I probably look how I feel." "Well then you might want to pull yourself together, Zogratis. I won't hesitate to leave your ass here with a letter of leave." You threatened, your voice not quite as cold as usual; which came as a shock to Zenon.
