A Slave's Story Also Has Hope In It

Chapter 27: An awakening

I had gotten in class, and every eye was on me. Whispers... words i heard, and words i did not. They were all thrown around like heavy bricks on my lungs. I couldn't breath well, and to be honest, i couldn't think straight neither. The whole system of my body felt numb, and my blood felt like stone.

Sariel: "Seth are you all right?"

I was scared for a second. Sariel broke my numbness. 

"Y-yes, i am... fine"

"Welcome class! Today..."

The teacher broke all the kids's words, and left only some whispers. This eased me, but still got me hyper ventelating. I tried gathering mana efficiently, but my blood pressure did not allow me to. I felt like vomiting, but i did not. Not in front of the masses.

I raised my hand

"Yes Seth?"

"May i please go to the bathroom..? It's urgent"

"You may"

I left the classroom quietly. Every step i made was like just a second of pure silence with all eyes on me. It drove me insane. As soon as i went outside of the classroom, i ran to the bathroom as fast as i could and opened a stall. I got to my knees and grabbed onto the toilet bowl to spew out every last bit of food i had in me. I drank water to get the taste off my mouth. And got a small shower as well. manipulating the mana to cool me, and then go in the toilet bowl wich i flushed afterwards. I heated everything up after that to evaporate everything to the point it was all gone. No water remained and i got back to class. I still felt sick, but that didn't get better. I could tell Kaburamaru was worried. But he couldn't do anything about my sickness. I just got back.

Sariel: "You sure you are okay?"

"Yes, yes... i'm just a bit... under the weather"

Not only did at least half of campus know i was a ilegitemate son of the king of Begaritt, everybody had seen that whatever much sweat i made was probably fake. And not to mention the fact that everybody wondered just why i was undercover or whatever they made up in their heads. 

I even tried focusing on Anako since she could calm an awfull lot with her pressence alone, but this didn't work neither. But i guess i had just one bit of luck. I had a blindfold, so i could at the very least not see anyone. 

I fell with my head on the desk again. But this time i was awake. I felt Kaburamaru's pressence, so i let it bite my finger for the hell of it. Just to feel something again. 

He bit me out of concern, but i really didn't feel any of it. He tried rubbing his scales against my body, showing affection, and that made me a bit happy, but it was soon shut off by the ringing of the bell. I stayed in the classroom, telling everyone to go without me. Anako said she left something in her room of importance, so she was coming later. I just stayed in the classroom until i felt like i was going to vomit again. Thus i went to my room aswell to freshen up for the second time this day.

I was going down the halls untill i heard someone. I got closer to hear what was happening

"What's up with the weird eyes... Huuuuhh?"

"Yeah! They are really weird! And your sucking up on the princesses?! How dare you!"

I couldn't see mana through walls. So i couldn't tell what was happening at all. All i heard, was a slap right after that. 

I removed my cloth and opened my eyes to run towards the slap. What i saw next was Anako with a slight slap mark and 2 girls. 

"Huh..?"
