Daiyu's world shook at that very moment, what did he just told her? Banishing her? How could Komodo do such a cold-hearted and cruel thing? After all the effort, physical and mental pain and sleep deprivation she endured, this is how he repaid her? Just after everything she ever tried to make him proud of her, just once.
But instead, he turned his back on her and threw her to the side like a used sock.
"What?! Are you kidding? Why?!" Daiyu gasped as Komodo paced around the room.
"Because it has been a long time coming! And the reason it didn't was because Bo kept making excuses to keep you here for longer than necessary, but it has been more than enough. So I expect you to pack your belongings and leave by midnight. You know the consequences if you're bold enough to disobey me."
"You can't do this! You can't rob me my home and deprive me from Bo! This is my home, my only home!" Daiyu shouted desperately in complete blind panic and heartbreak.
"You were never meant to be a student of mine, so I will send you away! I do not care where your destiny lies, but it certainly is not here!"
Daiyu's eyes filled with angry tears, yet she managed to keep them in and not let them fall. The Valley of Void was the only place she knew as home, no matter how many of the townspeople hated her, no matter how much she got bullied and attacked, she still saw it as her home. And Komodo took that away from her.
"This is it? After everything I've done for you?! Maybe it's just you, maybe you're just-..."
But Daiyu got cut off by Komodo whacking her across the face with the back of his hand, making her yowl painfully as she got knocked onto the floor, Daiyu leaned on her right arm for support as she held her left cheek, which stung immensely and it started to feel awfully warm.
Not only that, she could taste a droplet of blood dripping from her lip. She gasped in horror at what Komodo had just done to her. He hit her and busted her lip open, creating a tiny yet nasty cut. The tears eventually fell down, her lower lip trembling as she stared at him with fear struck into her heart.
"N-No, Master, please!" Daiyu sobbed. "Please, please! Don't do this to me!"
"Listen very carefully, like I've told you, you have until midnight. Unless, you want to meet your end as all my previous opponents have met theirs." Komodo growled lowly, Daiyu's tears kept falling and her whole body started shaking.
Komodo had always told her and the boys about his deadly venom and how his enemies always ended up with their legs in the air and seeing Komodo's face for the last time, before dying a painful demise. But it was different for Daiyu. She knew it wasn't just his venom that everyone feared, but his lack of conscious and mercy, for he killed many of his enemies right in front of her and that is something she no longer wanted to be reminded of, let alone go through it herself.
As fear and adrenaline overtook her, Daiyu sped back to her room, slamming her door shut and locking herself up. She cried into her hands from both the pain of Komodo hitting her and getting kicked out by him, not only making her homeless, but also making an orphan of her again. After managing calm down, she began to think.
Daiyu hoped that Komodo would see his own coldness once she left and that he'd sent the boys to go look for her, but at the same time she hoped she'd also be able to find happiness outside the Valley of Void, so she started packing and yet the constantly flowing tears and rapid breathing wouldn't stop.
Because, yeah. Was it really worth it to stay here at all? She could barely remember the last time she wasn't fake smiling and wearing a mask all the time.
