24 Chapter 24 A Glimpse Of Future
BAM THUD
Beep Beep
My watch buzzed, informing me it's time for classes. After wiping my sweat with a towel, I walked off the training field. Entering my room, I went to the bathroom and took a shower.
"Sigh—why do I feel so uneasy?" Changing my clothes into a uniform, I walked to school.
Nothing much happened yesterday. After dropping Seisha in front of the girls dormitory, I went straight to my dormitory since I couldn't enjoy the festival because of the emotional breakdown and mental exhaustion.
"Sigh—I can still feel the pain."
As I arrived in front of my class, my ears perked as I heard the students conversations.
"I know right, they are hiding the fact."
"I saw them walking with each other and smiling; I even saw they were holding hands."
'love story I was always interested in them. My interest piqued.
"Asher and Alicia are a perfect match."
BAM
"What did you say, bitch?" I walked to her and grabbed her neck. As they saw me grabbing her neck, the students around her moved in fear.
"I…i'm so-sorry-please le-t go…of me "Her face color slowly changed as she grasped for breaths. She wriggled and struggled to get out of my hands, but to no avail. On the contrary, I tightened the grip around her neck as she struggled.
"I asked to say that again" seeing I'm not getting any response, I bashed her on the ground.
GRAB
But my attempt was stopped by Taren. "What are you doing, Jadel?" he asked, surprised by what he saw. "Hey, I asked, what are you doing?"
'Huh, what am I doing?' my grip loosened. 'Fuck' realizing I was grabbing her neck, I instantly released the grip and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I… lost control over my emotions for a bit." Turning around, I walked to my seat. Giving me a weird look, Taren took his seat.
"Haaa" 'I shouldn't have agreed to her'
After some minutes passed, Ms. Elisa arrived at the class.
"Good morning, students," she said with a cheerful smile, but seeing the gloomy atmosphere, she asked, "Why are you guys so gloomy? You didn't enjoy the festival." They didn't answer, but all of them looked in my direction.
"Caused problem?" She asked.
"…Tiny bit"
"You apologised?" I nodded my head "Sigh— Let's take attendance first"
…
…
…
"Rank 2452 Marie Doe"
"Yes"
"Rank 2451 Taren Reisig"
"Yes"
"Everyone is becoming more diligent now," she commented, as there were no absentees.
"Let's start our class."
"Excuse me, Elisa." I heard a woman calling Ms. Elisa. Looking at the person, she showed a radiant smile.
"Oh, Juvy, you don't have classes this time."
"No, I'm free this time."
"So why did you come to me? Did you miss me?"
"Not you; I want to see a student of yours," the lady said as she entered the classroom. She walked with a smile on her face; her red hair swayed as she walked, and her red eyes shone with stars in them. Seeing her, my mind instantly froze.
'What, why is she here?'
Standing in front of the students, she observed every student one by one, and when she spotted me, her smile widened.
"There you are, Cadet Jadel."
"Why are you looking for him?" she asked.
"Well he is my disciple"
Elisa "Ehh"
Students "" huh""
"Huh, when?"
"What are you looking at, Brat? Come with me; we're going."
I pointed at myself with shaking fingers "Me to where?"
"Training, of course."
"But, madam, do I know you?" I feigned ignorance.
"Don't play with me, brat."
Snap
With a snap of her finger, I floated in the air. "I'm taking him with me," she said, and I walked out.
"Ms. Elisa, she is not my master. Please help me."
She showed me a sweet smile. "That's your punishment."
'NO' I floated out of the classroom as she walked.
"Cadet Jadel Wayner, rank: 2500. Occupation: Assassin. Disability: Damaged mana veins. You have quite the nerve to pick a fight with me, kid. If I used five percent of my strength, you would be dead by now."
"You would also be dead by now." I retorted
"You still believe in the Wayner family; they are just power-hungry people. And you think they will care about you, who was disowned."
"Hell, if I cared about them, they could just die. But I'm sure my mother won't sit still."
"Where was your mother when they disowned you?" She scoffed.
"Inside the house"
"…Fucking Brat"
She took me to a private training ground and threw me there.
Thud
"Ow, why are you so petty?"
"Petty, me? Didn't you hear, as of now, I'm your master and you're my disciple?"
"I don't want a nobody like you as a master. In fact, I don't want any masters for me." I looked straight into her eyes and said, "I can grow strong by myself."
"You, a disabled guy like you, can grow stronger."
"Yes." For my growth, I don't need anyone's support; I have the means to grow stronger.
"You don't want to become my disciple?"
"No"
"Hhe, every parent asked me to become their kids' master, including wealthy families. So I'm quite surprised to hear your rejection."
"…Who are you?" she observed my face for a moment.
"Seriously?"
"Yes"
"Now I get why you rejected me. Sigh—listen carefully, brat. I'm the strongest magic weapon master, with the dual occupation of mage and weapon master. Juvylenor Aira, an SS ranker. An irregular." She looked into my eyes; multiple stars formed on her iris and moved like shooting stars.
"You got interesting eyes, Brat; what's the specialty of it?"
"I can see an attack and attack efficiently." My mouth moved on its own and I answered her question.
'Is she controlling my body?' I thought as my body automatically answered her.
"Tell me, honestly, do you want to become my disciple now?"
"No" my mouth moved automatically again.
Her smile crumbled a little "Why?"
"I have my ways to get strong." my heart thumped from anxiety, I felt cold sweat drip on my back, as my mouth moved on its own.
"If that is so, then what are those ways?" With this question my mind froze. I tried my best to not answer but my mouth started to move.
THUMP THUMP
"I–"
"Shut up"
THUMP
"Huh, why have you stopped? Tell me."
"I–"
"You can't"
'What's happening? Why is my mouth suddenly stopping?
She tried again and again, but my mouth stopped as it started to speak. I felt like my body was against revealing informations.
"Y-you, how are you doing that?" She asked, as her face was full of surprise and disbelief. "As of now, nobody has escaped mind control, so how are you doing it?"
"… Why should I answer?" 'even though I don't know the reason?'
"Ha, hahaha, I decided you are my disciple now."
"Why should I?"
"If you become my disciple, I will evolve your eyes like mine."
'Evolve eyes' my interest piqued.
"What are your eyes specialties?"
"As you saw, I can control people and clairvoyance."
"clairvoyance?"
"Yes, I can see three seconds into the future; with all of this combined, I am the strongest SS rank hunter."
"But why me? I'm a disabled person with A- potential I'm not worth your time."
"You said you have a means to grow, right? I will count on that," she said, showing me a smile.

"whhaaaa" A small kid cried out loud and wriggled in his bed. He barely looked 3 years old. Covering his head with his hands, he cried out loud. Tears and snot were coming from his face, but what needed to be concerned was that blood was also dripping from them. While the kid was crying, a large amount of mana was spiraling around the kid and slowly being absorbed into his eyes.
A red woman rushed to the room and took the kid into her embrace. "Don't worry, don't worry, mama is here for you." reassuring the kid, she took a potion and fed it to her baby. After drinking the potion, the kid stopped crying and fell asleep.
"Another dream, huh?" She looked at her kid with emotion filled eyes as tears started to fill them.
"I'm the worst mother who can't do anything to help her son," she said as she walked to her room and placed him on her bed. She slowly touched her kid's head, and as she touched the head, her eyes shone with countless stars in them. Closing her eyes, she looked into his memories.
"Same dream of demon invasion... But why is it different?" She watched the ongoing battle between humans and demons. Fear started to grip her slowly as she watched the ongoing battle and witnessed the countless deaths of humans. A myriad of demons emerged from the cracks and joined the on going battle, resulting in massive casualties. As she watched it, the scene suddenly changed and showed a white haired figure with blue eyes staring intensely at a vicious demon in front of him.
"A mere human stands in my way," the demon scoffed, looking at him in disdain. "A lowly creature like you," grabbing the white-haired figure's head, the demon lifted him. He could only look at the demon with hatred since he couldn't do anything to it as he had no hands or legs. And from the looks of it, it looked like the legs and hands were forcefully pulled out of his body.
"You are a lucky one," the demon said. "In fact, every other human who died in this battle and who is going to die is lucky since they don't have to witness our king's arrival, but before that happens, the earth will be ours to welcome our king." After saying this, the demon pierced his eyes, grabbing from inside, the demon ripped out his facial skeleton."
"JADELL–"
Another demon smashed a girl's head
"Foolish girl." The demon laughed at her dead body amusedly. "Kehehe, such an idiot for believing our words." Other demons also laughed out loud. "She cut both her legs and hands and even plucked one of her eyes as we said we would let him live, gahahaha."
"That's why humans are fun to play with."
She watched the cruel scenes with wide eyes, but her mind only processed one thought: 'Jadel?'
