Fear And Terror

8 (History)

The bad thing is I don’t have partner in the combat class and to make the matter worse, Kris agreed to partner up with me.

Oh Great! It couldn’t be better.

“I am really happy that you are partnering up with me but your partner looks so lonely over there, so you can go back.” I said with a pretend sad voice.

His face formed a smirk and said “Oh. That’s okay. You are new here. He wouldn’t mind getting ditched.”

Ughhh.. How can I kick him out?

He wanted me to stick with me for eternal to annoy me. Thank goodness that I am mortal.

Just think about how horrible to stick with Kris forever.

Really Really Horrible.

“Let’s warm up, shall we?” Kris started doing exercise while I was standing in the middle of the combat area like an idiot. I never interested in fighting and killing crap. The only thing I knew how to do is beat up the bully who messed with me.

Luhan was the first person who I cared about. When I say caring, I didn’t mean I like him. It’s just that he was my partner and he looked miserable.

I was watching Kris do exercise. Suddenly he stopped and walked toward me. Before he can reach near me, I kicked his leg, making him groan in pain.

“What the hell is that for? I didn’t do anything to you.” He growled.

“There is no way I will fall for the same trick.” I mock him, the flashback of me thinking he would actually kiss me moment came back to me.

It was humiliation and I would never forget about that.

“I was going to put the magic limiter near you. There’s no magic allowed in here.” He brought out the sliver bracelet which was the same thing as Luhan and Kris had one on his wrist, so I extended my wrist to let him tie around my wrist. He scoffed and said “Now you want to get treated like a princess.” He brought out bows and arrows and said “Let’s start with archery.”

I took the bows and arrows as if I was good at that but within a second, we found out that I wasn’t pretty good with archery.

Then we did running and Kris left me in the dust. Like I said, I hated Physical Education.

And wrestling? Forget it. As soon as I got on the map, I got flipped over by Kris and humiliated by everyone.

Then we played with swords and thank goodness that the swords are wooden. If not, the bloody scars will be on my body.

That concluded that I was suck at combat and Kris was happy about that.

“You have a long way to go, new student! Your combat skills suck!” Kris commented with a victory a smile on the face.

Thank you.

But his smile disappeared when a boy came to him and whispered in his ear. He ran out of the combat area and I followed him.

Thanks to my curiosity.

The crowd gathers and Kris rush through to the middle. I followed him and asked them to make way for me too as if I was Kris’s right hand. He suddenly stopped, causing me to bump into him. Normally, he would yell at me and say something but that time he stood still.

My eyes wide open in shock as I saw a girl who bathed in blood.  Somewhere in my mind, I was relieved that it was not Luhan. And I felt bad for the girl who got killed for practical jokes. Nothing can happen like that except Kris’ followers beat the people out of their soul.

I bet Kris felt guilty by watching her die. My legs stepped forward automatically as if somebody is controlling my leg. I stumble backward as I felt razorp-sharp claws teeth gripping on my foot but a pair of arm caught me and I turned around. It was Kris. His face was angry, red, and –

Full of fear.

“Why did you step on the tattoo? Do you want to die?” Kris yelled at me.

Tattoo ? I looked down and a big circle full of black ink and a lot geometric shapes turned red from black. What did I do? “What’s it?” I muttered.

“Enchanters’ mark. If you are a offspring of enchanters, you get that mark on your back. “He explained and I was confused by that sentence.

“Aren’t we enchanter, too?” I asked.

“We are magicians. “

What? By the definitions from dictionary, the enchanter and the magician means the same thing. “What’s the different?”

“Enchanter can use the evil magic and we cannot. It’s illegal to use those dark magic in Fairy Land while it’s allowed to use in Magus Land.”

“So?” I asked again. I hated History but no choice to listen to him because a girl just died.

“Enchanters and Magicians used to be united but the peace between them broke down when one of the enchanter got the immortality. They hate each other since then but they don’t do harm to each other because it can hurt normal people and since can mate each other and there are already a lot of children which are hybrids . The tattoos protect the enchanters even if they have 1% blood in it. The hybrids don’t know how to command the tattoo but the pure can use those tattoos to protect their selves and harm others. Like Luhan.”

Luhan?

The adorable baby face guy?

It can’t be. 

"And he is the only pure enchanter who attended to this school." Kris gritted his teeth. 

Oh Shit.
