Awakening of a Forgotten Threat

Chapter 3: Screw Crafting, Let's Go to the Arcade!

(Long chapter!)
Alluka's POV

"Alluka, what the heck is that?" A disgusted voice made me flinch. I looked up from my work and swung my gaze to he person next to me. It was the wretched boy that got in a fight with me a week ago...

"It's a house, fool!" I looked back at my work.

As you could most likely guess, I was in Crafting Class. This was the only time I didn't bring Zoe with me. Crafting wasn't that much of a class, it was basically a 'Get your ass to work immediately!' kinda program, and that was fine by me, as long as I didn't have to sleep through the whole thing. Sometimes, the teachers would come around to our tables and either complement our work, or tell us to start over.

The boy next to me would always sneer or tell me that my work was garbage, and I didn't appreciate that, so I just hit him back with something even more insulting. Like now.

"At least my work doesn't look a bird took a huge crap on it." I shot back.

You pull out the pistol, I pull out the machine gun. Simple.

The simpleton's eyes filled with rage, and he took some scissors and cut off the wooden chimney of my house! Now enraged, I grabbed the hand that was holding the scissors and with my other hand, I slapped his upper arm as hard as I could.

He let out a grunt of pain, and yelled, "Teacher!!"

Fear swirled in my belly and I let go of his arm swiftly and returned to my wooden house. As I heard the teacher's footsteps, I picked up the piece that was cut off and some glue.

"Yes, Ethan...?"

"Alluka slapped my arm!!" Ethan whined like an infant.

"What? No I didn't!" I lied, using my most convincing voice. The teacher put her hands on her hips and glowered at me. I felt sweat pour down my cheek. Dammit woman, take the bait...!

"Is this true, Ms. Zoldyck...?"

"No, Teacher. Ethan cut off the chimney of my house and then called you over saying that I slapped his arm." I stared into my teacher's eyes.

The teacher flung her condescending gaze at Ethan, who had gone pale. "Ethan, please come outside with me." The expression she wore was demonic.

After they had gone, I broke into laughter. A few kids around me had stared in confusion, but I paid no attention to them. I kept laughing vulgarly like a king at the dinner table.

A few minutes later, I had to catch my breath and gradually stopped laughing. Then, a cough seized me, making me convulse with the pain.

About six hands slapped my back as I coughed violently. After a few more coughs, I finally stopped and waved away all the hands on my back.

It was a very random scene.

I'm at least grateful that Brother hadn't come busting into the classroom with an asthma pump in his left hand and a water bottle in the other, acting like a super hero. Well, he was. I had insisted on him taking y/n-nee out for a date, and then I'd call him when it was time to leave.

3 reasons for why I'd done that. 1, I ship y/n-née and Brother. 2, I don't want to be embarrassed if he bursts into the classroom after 'miraculously' hearing my fit of coughing.

And 3. I had heard that there was an arcade in town, and five people, including myself would check it out after class.

I sighed deeply. That would be 3 hours from now...

"Alluka~! Let's go~!" One of my classmates, Kleo (She's in the picture above) called out to me. She was at the door of the school building, dancing in her exotic looking dress.
