ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm Many students were still trying to hold back their laughter out of respect for the seniors but after Number One marked his ground, there wasn't anyone in the Training Grounds who didn't show a reaction. Even Nami was unable to pretend anymore and broke into giggles with her hand covering her obvious smile.
"You… you…" Red Devil stuttered in anger as he clenched his fists, but Number One didn't give him the chance to finish.
"You, you what? I don't even know you and you block my way like some stalker. If I wanted to talk with you I would respond the first time you called. You didn't see my reaction which means I don't care about you," Number One explained as directly as he could. "I'm busy right now so how about you go back to your friends and wait for your turn like a good puppy? I will deal with you all later."
Red Devil was momentarily stunned and every student watching opened their mouths in excitement. That was the Number One they wanted to see!
"Who the fuck you think you are talking to kid?" Red Devil cursed after absorbing what he just heard. "Move away from Miss Nami and I will slam your pretty face to the ground until your mother can't recognize you."
Number One finally showed a reaction on his face but it was laughter instead of fear. "Whoa, you can't argue by talking so you go straight into violence? That's some poor skills you got there. First of all, my mom is dead so your plan is already invalid. Second of all, if you want Nami to get away from me, you can just ask her yourself."
Nami tilted her head at Red Devil and asked calmly, "Is there a problem? I know Number One is handsome and it's easy to get jealous but maybe you can invest in some Skin Cleansing Pills instead of threatening people. The results would be faster too."
"Are you calling me ugly…?" Red Devil asked with his face reddening further.
"Oh, of course not," Nami shook her head with an innocent smile. "Calling you ugly would be an insult to ugly people. You look more like a red onion my grandma used to grow in her garden. Your hair reminds me of its roots."
Pffft!
The crowd laughed even harder and the four other seniors finally stepped in to defend their colleague. "You think we will just sit back and let you two talk shit? If you are so confident then come to the arena for a small sparing."
The female voice caused many to pause and Number One glanced at the dark-haired lady. While all four seniors wore a white uniform, she was the only one with a unique black set that matched her hair.
"You must be the one who injured Luna, right?" Number One guessed casually. "I will have to reject you since Luna will be upset. You can fight her again once I'm done healing her arm."
Darius' eyes brightened at his words. "Oh! Do you have more of those healing Pills?"
Everyone understood what Darius meant aside from the five seniors who frowned.
"We were going to the Medical Center with help before this red onion stopped us," Nami responded in Number One's stead and Darius didn't hesitate to clap his hands.
"Perfect! Don't worry about your seniors and go. Headmaster Blake is accompanying the Alchemist who is still trying to make the right pill for Luna. I'm sure he will buy one of your pills at the full price," Darius explained and faced the Red Devil. "If you cause them more trouble, I will deduct contribution points from your Student Badge."
That threat caused Red Devil to protest in anger. "We didn't do anything wrong?! They were the ones who provoked us!"
Darius glared at Red Devil while flexing his body but Number One spoke before he could go off on him. "It's alright, let them be. We all know why they came here. They are meant to display their strength and show the top class students that we are actually not the top."
Number One paused as he gazed at the four male seniors. "I know you won't leave me alone unless I challenge you so how about you all fight me at the same time? I don't have time to play with all of you one by one. I am still yet to beat all the records in the Dungeon Mode and the week is about to end."
"What…?" Everyone in the Training grounds shared the same reaction.
"You want to fight four seniors from the main Academy at the same time?" the black uniform lady questioned coldly. "Are you stupid or actually trying to kill yourself?"
Number One squinted his eyes. "I would fight you too but I don't want to hurt your egos too much. Your reputation would be over if you lost one versus five. At least when you lose to Luna in a rematch it will only be a draw."
The black uniform lady turned as cold as ice but Number One already wasted too much time. He grabbed Nami's hand and announced while walking away. "Anyway, we are going for now. You can't do anything to me unless I challenge you so why don't you wait patiently until I find the time. Maybe you can warm up while we are gone. You are going to need it."
Red Devil escorted Number One with a gaze that could cut into metal but he didn't stop them again. He said it himself. They promised not to fight any new students unless they were challenged. Even though they were from the main Academy, they had the same status as Winged Soul Academy's students.
"Fuck it!" Red Devil cursed as soon as Number One left and pointed his finger at Darius. "We have the teacher as the witness! Remember all he said! He was the one who wanted to fight all of us at the same time so he will be the one to blame if he gets injured! I'm not going to hold back when we step on the ring!"
Compared to Red Devil, the other four remained silent as they looked at each other with a knowing gazes. They weren't stupid like the red onion. If Nami decided to make Number One her man, he had to be special. Miss Black wouldn't let any random man become Nami's partner.
"You three, take that screamer and go practice. He was right. Your reputation would be over if the news reached the main Academy. You can't afford to lose," the black uniform lady spoke like a leader before adding silently, "Don't hesitate to aim for the kill right from the start. He must have some trick up his sleeve."
The three seniors gulped at her words but they all nodded with determined expressions.
