PDK Fantasia

Chapter 9

"So, how's training?" Mirage asked, picking up a chicken sandwich and biting it.

"It was okay, I guess?" Seclinette shrugged.

"You don't seem to be okay," Liana raised her eyebrows.

Persperphone sighed, slapping Seclinette's back so hard Seclinette nearly fell.

"Yea, we all know..." Persperphone poked Seclinette's face, "... she has bruises here..."

"Hey, cut that out!" Seclinette wailed.

"And here..." Persperphone poked her arm, full of blue and black.

"Ow!"

"And... Here." Persperphone finally jolted Seclinette by using two fingers and poked the sides.

"Youch!" Seclinette nearly fell, grasping onto the chair in time and shouted, "Hey! That's mean!"

"Sorry, I don't mean to, but look at yourself!"

"Persperphone's right though," Mirage said, looking at Seclinette, full of bruises and scars.

"Gah, at least just let me eat in peace." Seclinette sat down and started eating.

Katlyn suddenly thought of something and beckoned the girls to lean towards her.

"Oh yes, I heard that someone else is getting enrolled in our school temporarily," Katlyn whispered.

"Really?" Liana asked.

"Tell us more," Mirage pleaded.

"I can't see his face, he's wearing a large black cloak. I overheard him talking to Mrs. Ashlina if he could enrol him here temporarily. His voice seemed a little alto-bass like."

"What else did he say?" Seclinette asked, now focused on the topic.

"He was asked if he could give his name, but he just told them he was Nameless."

"Nameless?!" Persperphone exclaimed.

"Shh!" Mirage replied.

"Yea, but I don't know why would some guy hide his identity and doesn't give his name." Katlyn shrugged, before hearing a familiar sound and quickly whispered, "Sit down, he's coming!"

As the girls sat down and started eating again, they tried not to glance at the mysterious person, hidden under a black cloak and walking slowly to the other end.

Most of the students, in fact all of them were now staring at the mysterious person. However, the mysterious person did not look at the students and continued walking slowly, footsteps echoing into air, full of mystery and apprehension.

Seclinette couldn't take it anymore and looked at the mysterious person, before starting to frown.

Just then, the mysterious person turned his head and looked at Seclinette.

Everyone gasped, but not too loud for fear of being looked at.

Seclinette lowered her head a bit and tried not to think too much, and a few moments later the mysterious person ignored her and starting walking all the way.

When he was finally gone, Seclinette turned back ans started eating, however looking dull.

"Did you just saw him?" Katlyn asked. "I was taking a glance and he was looking at you!"

"Yea, that was quite intriguing," Persperphone said.

"I think I did," Seclinette answered, half confidently.
