38 ❆ "You're going to kill the kid?"

"What do you plan to do about the students?" Malchin asked Akida, who was busy writing on some of the papers in front of her.

Akida hummed, looking at her ex-husband, "Kim NamJoon has been a problem for me since the attacks started, and he's only proving to become a bigger one as time passes. I wouldn't put it past him that he told Jung Hoseok and Min Yoongi to investigate the fire and frost incident with Akane and Joonwae. So-"

"What? You're going to kill the kid?" Malchin questioned, his tone playful, he was joking.

Akida went silent.

Malchin immediately sat up in his seat, his eyes wide, "Akida, you're not planning to do anything to him are you?"

She shrugged, "It could be an accident-"

"AKIDA!" Malchin screamed, his eyes morphing to orange before they went back to normal, "He's a fucking kid!"

"And he's going to get himself into more trouble if he keeps sticking his nose where it isn't supposed to be!" she screamed back, standing from her chair.

Malchin gaped at her, "I will remove you from the position as chancellor, do not test me-"

"Just so I can reveal things you've done in your early days as President," Akida threatened, glaring into Malchin.

Malchin clenched his jaw, tears pricking his eyes, "You're not touching that kid. If I f-find out you laid a hand on that boy i'll kill you myself, Akida. You're not fucking up another family like you did with us-"

"I HAD TOO!"

"NO YOU FUCKING DIDN'T!" Malchin roared back, his eyes morphing to orange once more, "That burn is karma for what you fucking did, you know what you did to us, to our fucking family! Yet you don't want to take blame." tears were rolling down Malchin's cheeks, Akida biting her bottom lip to keep from crying.

Malchin sighed, rubbing his hand over his face, "Touch Kim Namjoon, i'll make sure you regret it for the rest of your good for nothing life."

With that final threat looming in the air, Malchin stormed out of Akida's office, slamming the door on his way out.

Akida dropped to the ground, her hand over her heart as she sobbed, the burn on her arm aching with the memory.

One she's tried so hard to forget.

Fera and Victor watched the two sides practice, with the combined classes taking place once more it meant frost and fire had to learn to get along all over again.

So far, it's been smooth sailing.

"We need to keep those two away from each other," Victor stated, gesturing towards Yoongi and Hoseok, who were giving each other subtle glances.

Fera furrowed her eyebrows and laughed, "Why? They get along the best-"

"That's the problem," Victor interrupted, turning to look at Fera, "they get along, that shit needs to stop."

"Why?" Fera inquired, looking at the frost marshalle.

Victor rolled his eyes, "They've been looking into the Akane and Joonwae case, trying to figure out if the fire and frost thing is true."

Fera blinked a few times, processing this.

She has always been curious about the Akane and Joonwae thing, along with the fire and frost law.

Fera grew up in Tejomaya, where all the elementals can live together. When she was young, before the Akane and Joonwae thing, they all lived placidly. Of course, frost and fire were told to be careful around each other, since there was potential for them to hurt each other especially when they were little, but it wasn't a firm law until the incident happened.

Ever since, Fera has always been curious, she used to be friends with frost elementals, now it was forbidden.

Until the attacks.

Whenever she tried to ask Akida, or Malchin, they would threaten her position as marshalle.

So, yeah, she for sure wanted Yoongi and Hoseok to find out and get to the bottom of it.

"Why stop them?" Fera inquired carefully, "It's just history, it's not like they're going to find anything. Why is it such an issue?" as Fera continued to ask question after question, she didn't notice Victor's eyes morph to an icy blue, and didn't notice him shoot a shard of ice towards Jung Hoseok.

Jin quickly stopped it before it hit his best friend right in the chest, his whisp move quickly to melt it down. Hoseok also flinching away from it.

Hoseok stood, horrified at what just almost happened to him. They couldn't see where the ice came from, since Victor and Fera were on a top part of the training room, and Victor could make it look like the ice came from somewhere in the gym.

Yoongi had to resist the urge to run over to Hoseok, to hug him, Hoseok was shaking.

He almost died.

"Who the fuck did that!?" SeokJin yelled, furious, "You could've fucking killed him, you're lucky I saw it!" all the other frost elementals were confused, it wasn't them.

Jungkook walked over to Jin, not too close, but close enough so he could hear him, "Jin, calm down, at least he's okay. You getting mad won't solve anything." he assured, SeokJin looking over at the younger and reluctantly nodding.

Fera looked over at Victor, knowing damn it was him, "What the fuck did you just do?"

Victor shrugged, looking at his hands, "Ability slipped, was trying to point it somewhere else."

Fera took a deep breath, her chest constricting with clear anger, fury. All the fire elementals were like her children, and Victor just tried to kill one of them?

Oh hell no.

Not caring for the rumor, she grabbed Victor by the collar and dragged him away from where students could see them. She threw him to the ground, placing her boot on his larynx and adding light pressure by stepping on it.

Her hair was on fire from how choleric she was, her skin would burn you if you tried to touch it.

"You did not just try and kill one of MY fire elementals!" she shouted at him, a fire ball in one of her hands, Victor tried to speak but she just added more pressure to keep him from doing so, "Listen here, you motherfucker, try and pull some shit like that again and I won't hesitate in telling every single person in this fucking academy about you and Akida." Victor's eyes widened, Fera smirked, "You really didn't think us marshalle's didn't know, did you?"

Victor glared at her, trying to grab a hold of her foot but he was too afraid of the fire in her hands. Fera wasn't one to mess with.

"You're lucky I don't kill you right where you stand, pull that shit again and I won't hesitate." She finished her statement by stomping on Victor's nose, satisfied by the crush that came after she did. Afterward, she glared him down and walked down towards where the students were, Victor holding his nose in pain.

You never, ever, fuck with Fera and her fire babies.
