Chapter 16: Warning
Chapter 16: Warning
Not a bad action but not a recommended move. You might get to the point you want to use your magic to fight your tormentors. But it's your decision. I can't stop you from that. Anyways, don't do too much trouble. Limit all of your actions to minimal. Although I am a magician, doesn't mean I can allow you to go on a rampage. I am still a disciplinarian here so you need to understand alright? I can't abuse my position in such petty matters so you need to understand."
"I don't need any help regarding these people. I am not least affected by them, so you don't have to worry about me making trouble all around the school. But I might come here a few more times in the future. I have a few bullies to deal with. Anyways, is everything done? Can I go back to class?"
"Yeah, yeah, just go. But please don't come here hourly. Limit it at least twice a day or I will fall to stress in the future."
I bowed down and exit the room. I never expected to find one magician beside Moonlight currently inside the school. With these people, I can find help if needed in terms of magic and enemies. Now, I need to deal with a few people. If they think I am affected, they should just fear for what was going to come to them in the future.
...
As I walked down the corridor, many of the students already recognized me due to the commotion I stirred up earlier at the very entrance. They are clearing the way for me like I am a royalty walking into the red carpet towards my carriage. Every one of them are either whispering or just throwing disgust looks on their faces. So what? They don't feed me to go to school so either they will nut up or shut up is up to them. Arriving in the classroom, all of my classmates started looking at me in a weird way. I shrugged everything off but then I noticed in one of my eyes the very same girl I followed yesterday alongside the demon that the familiar of Voltaire killed. She clicks her tongue and frowned as she looked at me in pure disgust. I don't know what she is thinking and I don't have any care if she ever did think this or that. She needs to get lost and find some life rather than find someone else's fault and rubbing salt to it.
Shrugging off their stares, I walked into my chair. Of course, Moonlight is already in there. I also saw Gouda and his gang. All of them greeted good morning without any regard on what my rumors said. Moonlight leaned a bit on my chair and whispered to me.
"Quite a reputation you got there, huh? You are now much more famous than our campus belle now. And even the campus belle herself is too angry of you. I did not expect that to happen to spread overnight," Moonlight whispered.
"Campus belle?"
"Oh? You don't have any idea?"
"Why do I care who the heck is that? Can I earn money from that person? Can I learn anything from her? Nothing! I don't think I need to know her."
'Well, she is the one who spread the rumors about you ya know. Also, he is a classmate of ours. You see that girl with braids and brown hair surrounded by girls near the window? That is the campus belle, Yumi Minato. I heard you molested her that is why you became so famous now. I can't believe you get to be much more famous than me."
"You want to be famous too? Then do what I just did and you will be in no time," I said to her.
"Ha, I don't want to be famous so leave me alone then."
I chuckled on her answers since it sounded cold. So that was the campus belle huh? Well, she can be pretty if she is in your standards but to me, she looked average so why would she be treated as a campus belle? There are many more pretty girls around and has a kind attitude too. Not like her who seems to always condescend on others. Then, Godou approached me and put down his chair beside me.
"Moonlight, this guy is the newbie? I didn't expect him to be one of the newly recruited magicians. If I didn't check the New Recruit channel, I would never know that this guy is a magician like us."
I looked at Godou because I didn't expect someone would blatantly tell that they are magicians in front of other people. But I think they are not even listening to what Godou said because no one reacted to that.
"Yes. He is the one indeed. But he is still a weakling and easy pick for the demons if he is given to fight a stronger demon than that demon he found yesterday. Also, his reputation is now tainted with that troublesome rumors. I don't know how he can manage to keep on staying even though he is ostracized by others though."
That was a bit harsh. Although I am still weak and can't do magic sh*t like everyone else, I am still considered as a magician. I just needed a bit of training though. But still, I am surprised that Godou is actually a magician. Seriously, these people are actually magicians? They act like they are just normal people.
"Anyways Kazuma. Be careful later. I don't know how strong you are physically and mentally but a few of those "guys" I mentioned to you yesterday somehow wanted to deal with you later this afternoon. Be careful on your way back home. I don't know what they will do to you but please, do not reveal your magic at all. Just use those magic that you cannot see if activated alright?"
"How did you know about that?" I looked at Godou.
"I have many intel at school. And some local delinquents are on friendly terms with me. And since rumors are fast to circulate around here, it is not a problem to quickly know what they are planning to you. Wanna get some backup for later? My men can accompany you later," Godou said to me.
"Nah, thanks for the thought but I can handle it on my own. I may not look like one but I was a fighter back in the middle school days," I said to him.
'Oh, then good luck man. It would be great if you trash their faces hard though."
After that conversation, the teacher arrived and everyone took seats already. However, I can definitely feel a bloodlust in the classroom. I know how to detect bloodlust alone even when I was not yet a magician and when I became one, picking up bloodlust is now easier detected. The bloodlust is weaker than the usual bloodlust I always detect in the past. Maybe it was a bit weaker because the owner of it doesn't have a strong reason to kill? Most people who release bloodlust always contain a lot of hatred that is being converted to bloodlust which amplifies their desire to kill. For the bullies to go this far, they are willing to kill just because I pass out into a woman's chest? That was the first. But from my guess, I might really have pissed her off to make so many rumors about me. Still, whatever she does, I am born ready. If she keeps on making rumors about me, then she will never forget the experience of being one then..."
