Brandon who saw that immediately used Origin Spell, “Ezetra Inosus” (Lucent) which he aimed right at the path of the fast-moving black figure. At that instant, the wall in front of the black figure gave off a bright light that enveloped the room they were occupying. The black figure also felt a pain that seemed to tear a part of its soul, from the light that shine upon it. *Kraaaaa* It screamed. While Amber who saw the black figure, also immediately used the First level Rune, (Fetter). The black figure then seemed to bound by something that eye can touch. Then it fell where they had been standing, as Brandon and Amber were simultaneously and in sync, also dodging by moving back quickly. The figure crash over on the ground, but didn't make the slightest sound as it hit the floor. The true form of the black figure then revealed. A Spirit that had its head split in the middle, revealing its split brain. With blood dripping, but not fall down and leaving marks on the floor. It was as if the blood was dripping down, only to flow back up again. Its entire body was pale and bluish-purple. Its left ankle was cut to reveal roughly chopped bones, and the grayish flesh with a little bit of fat stuck to it, that was pale yellowish in color, as if something had grilled the leg over a fire, right after it was cut off... … To be continued… … ...

"I'm so sleepy. Hey girls. Woke me up later, alright!" Said the boy with his blonde hair to the two girls who sat at the front row.

"Hummmhh." One of the girl whose sitting at the right, only snort over what he asked.

The blonde boy who saw her respond, could only pursed his lip with his glassy and sleepy eyes. While thought inside, 'Oh, c'mon. How many times do i had to say sorry, and that's all of it is just an accident. It just burn on the edge anyway, while your hair are still so long. *Sigh* Forget it.' He then rolling his eyes.

While the other girl with her tied black shoulder length hair, looked back over the blonde boy, then saying creasing her eyebrows, "Brandon. Please stop running all over the place at night. You knew all of our merit will be deducted too if you ever get caught. And don't slept off. Can't guarantee we can pull you up when Sir Tamond arrives."

She then had a thought inside her head, 'You practically sleep like a piggy. Only awake when we slap you off.'

She then look at the other boy who also had black hair, that sit in front of Brandon, who've been busy copying her homework.

"And you too. Stop comin' over with him. Has it ever crossed both of your mind, that the uncle who looks after the dorm will be the one who gets splashed, if something bad happens."

"Uh, uh. Yes, yes. Roger that." He only replied with halfheartedly nod and yes. While dismiss most of what she say.

She only click her tongue seeing that.

Brandon then say to his mate who sit in front of him, "Bro, remember tonight we go to purple dorm. Cynthia is on the party too."

He only replied with a thumbs up.

The girl who still hadn't spoken yet, start to get pissed off when he mentioned Cynthia's name.

*Yawn*

Following that, Brandon then put his head over his hand, then soon doze off to go over the land of dreams.

...

A few minutes later.

Magister Tamond then came silently, opened the door of their classroom.

Immediately, his gaze flying over to Brandon who seems busy on his dream world.

He look over the other whose quick, behave themselves when he coming over on the class.

Then he walked as usual to the lectern.

He deliberately slammed the book that made a loud thump, while staring at Brandon who was still asleep and wasn't even bothered by what he had done.

There's already vein start to get visible, spreading across his forehead.

"Good. Don't wake him up." he said, while looking over the other who obediently nod their head.

...

Brandon who heard Magister's orders, then look over the clock above the screen in front of the class.

*Gasp*

He then could only widen his eyes, following shortly after, by setting his sights on the 3 other people who were also sitting in the class.

'You all doesn't even woke me up? Where's our camaraderie.' thought Brandon in disbelief, of how cruel they are. Even though the next class, after lunch hour is the Rune Combat Class.

Where that brute, horrible and cold blooded Magister are going to squeeze their body dry, like dried pumpkins.

Fail passing over his training, 50 merits will be deducted which is the entire full merit of a rank D mission.

Meanwhile, the 3 people who Brandon looked at with full of resentment and bitter indignation, only pretended as if it was none of their bussiness.

While one of the girls look to the side guiltily, the other one instead brazen enough showing her side face to him, then snigger.

"kekekekek."

'Serve you right. Heh. I guess it settle the score then.' She thought. She had rust hair that slightly more to the red color. There's some burn on the edge of her straight long hair.

Her name is Amber Riviera.

'Sorry Brandon. You're done for. Just hope you had enough Life Energy for Sir Jaxx class.' Thought the other girl who sit on Amber left. She was the girl with black hair.

Her name is Gerda Johansson.

While the boy who sit in front of his seat, doesn't even aware if Brandon staring at him or not. His name is Titus Civatte.

He's busy taking note over what was on the book, along with the display on the big screen in front of the classroom.

Though he actually just pretending, and only starting to do that when Magister Tamond walking close.

'Note. Note. Note. I maybe dumb, but not so much for being foolish enough following you sleeping on the class, when the hour practically screaming, the teacher come soon in due time. Sorry bro. you're slept off almost in his entire class hour. I could only gave you my salute.'
