The Heroine [COMPLETED]

21. Question Marks

FELIX WAS BURNING WITH RAGE, HIS RIVALRY WITH LEON, AS IT SEEMS AS FAR FROM "ANY OTHER NORMAL COMPETITION." It was a symbol. A symbol of winning, and victory that meant a lot more than anyone could've imagined. "What if I say no?" Felix challenged. He was absolutely triggered, the one person who he was never able to outcompete growing up, his archrival. His destined enemy.

"I'm afraid I wouldn't care Mr. Fisher." Leon said. Felix smirked,
"How can you bring her away, with your um... disability?" He mocked seamlessly. He expected Leon to be silenced like he would be before. Then, he would usually come back with a even more savage comment.

"At least I'm real." Leon replied without missing a beat. Felix furrowed his eyebrows and pursed his lips so tightly that it almost seemed like it was about to merge into one. Alexandra glanced at him, his rage, his evilness, all of it seemed very human. Was there a possibility to show his true side to everyone?

"Whatever." Felix replied at last, and walked past Leon in large strides with July following closely behind. She shot Alexandra a final glare before disappearing into the classroom, leaving Leon and Alexandra in the hallway unaccompanied. She looked at Leon, his chiseled face unmoving.

"What did you say before?" Alexandra asked, breaking the moment of silence.
"You will train with me from now on. I have received the approval of Headmaster DiCardio. We will get our individual space here." Leon said, as the words flowed across his lips.

"Here?" Alexandra asked as her index finger pointed to the ground below her in disbelief. Leon nodded. "Right beneath his eyes?"

"Wouldn't that be all the interesting?" Leon playfully smirked. Alexandra had never seen him look like that. It was... weird and unsettling.

Dark, dusty, and outright different from the brightly lit classroom she had come to known. It was at the end of the hallway, secured by two layers of extremely bulky soundproof metal door. When you looked on the inside, you could truly say, the door was the most advanced item here. Two iron racks, which was covered with a thin layer of dust laid before them, in the leftmost corner of the tiny room (half the size of the original classroom for comparison) and looked like it haven't been touched by a single soul for decades. On the right side, was a drop down mirror, it was cloudy, and layered with some tiny visible particles as well. The corners of the walls and floors had some cobwebs, although not that bad. The location of the room made it darker, since it was towered by a larger building right outside the room. What unfortunate little room they landed on.

"This place... You sure it's suitable for teaching?" Alexandra was very skeptical of this room... and him... and everything.

"Teaching is a art, as long as one party received the necessary knowledge, the format is negligible." Alexandra nods at his philosophy, very reasonable. "There's definite benefits to this room."

"Which is?"
"The door is soundproof, there is a building blocking outsiders view of this room, and best of all, you can peacefully practice without other interference." Alexandra sized the room down, it looked, at least decent enough for swords and all. She couldn't ask for TOO much.

"Ok...." Alexandra replied.
"Oh, fun fact. Do you know where all Lord Lucifer's experiments were conducted?" Alexandra looked up, his as he bit down on her teeth.

"Here." He said,  very solemnly.
