Twelve Majestic [EXO X OC]

Olive - Part Two

The warrior parted his legs slightly and raised a single hand up his face, shielding his eyes. I glanced at Joonmyeon with drumming heartbeats, and I noticed the slight curve of his lips as he easily walked to the space in front of me, a little far away from the opponent's warrior.

Joonmyeon sent him a small smile, in which the warrior only gave out a throaty growl back. Joonmyeon started rolling up his sweater's sleeves, revealing his milky arms that even I was jealous of. I turned back to look at the others, and they were all looking at the two with utmost focus, as if they diverted their eyes away for a second everything might turn out horribly bad. It was nerve-wracking to watch them like that, and I couldn't stop the shudder erupting in my body.

"I'll go easy on you," Joonmyeon spoke loud enough for everyone to hear, and he said that to the warrior alone, as if he didn't care at all that the warrior's master was around him watching. The master let out a growl, while the warrior didn't even blink.

I turned to look at the teacher, waiting for her to blow on the whistle to start the match. I was drowning in nervousness, and I was sure the others were too. Kai shuffled closer to me and slowly guided his big hand to where mine was lying on my side, before intertwining our fingers. I heard collective noises of gasps from the crowd, and I was aware of the reason – my interlocked hand with Kai. I didn't care that much about their thoughts and their acts, as long as I know I'm in the right, I will not make them walk all over me.

"He'll be fine, right?" I murmured, watching Joonmyeon furrow his eyebrows in concentration and cross his arms over his chest. He didn't look that intimidated or worried, but I never was good at reading people, so I wouldn't assume.

"I hope so," Kai murmured back. I appreciated that they don't like to lie to me, but at that moment I wanted Kai to lie and tell me Joonmyeon was going to be alright.

I heard the whistle of the teacher echo around us, and my heart fell down to my knees. I tried soothing my hectic feelings, taking deep breaths in and squeezing Kai's hand. I closed my eyes tightly for a minute, counting down from ten to one before slowly opening them.

"Alright, Gea, attack!" the boy -- the master, the Wielder, I don't know what to call him – yelled aloud, eyes ablaze with a foreign heat I had never seen before or felt reflecting in my own eyes. The master was on fire. He was confident, I give him that, but it only made the sizzling discomfort within me grow larger. The short warrior with the heart-shaped lips – they were quite pleasing to watch – stomped his feet on the ground at the command of his master.

The minute the warrior's feet made contact with the ground, the floor quaked horribly and started moving. Everyone yelped at the move and clutched their seats not to fall down, while I held into Kai strongly. None of my boys moved at all, they didn't even blink, and Joonmyeon looked even more amused than before.

The ground split open in a small slash under the warrior's feet, revealing a dark hole that probably stretched down to the center of the earth. Even though it was as big as a fist, it was all he needed as a large tree grew from within hurriedly. The tree parted from the middle, creating two large twigs that stretched all the way to the ceiling, growing more and more until they grazed the students heads gently. The students all stumbled over their seats and knelt down for cover, even though the twigs didn't directly touch their heads. The twigs weren't even twigs. They were as large as their own trees, and as thick as their trunks. The sight of them was terrifying, it was no wonder the students were petrified.

I glanced at Joonmyeon, wondering if the fear growing within me at the magnificent scene was also growing within him. Unlike what I was feeling, Joonmyeon was smirking, and he was staring at the warrior like he was proud of him. The twigs sprouting out from the trees twisted in their way sharply all of a sudden, pointing at a single direction like swords. I realized they were pointing at Joonmyeon, ready to attack, and I seriously didn't want to see what was going to happen.
