"So, Lifes, why are you not upset?" she examined me, her blatant, fake curiosity apparent.
"Hmm?" Please leave me alone…
"Well, you were undoubtedly one of the most, if not THE most talented fighter amongst the students, how are you okay with being placed into C rank!?"
"I was?" One in your hearth and one in your mouth, was it? Although I really was a better fighter than the rest of these idiots.
"The instructors said that you're way too arrogant and just placed you lower based on that, you should be furious, right?"
"May I ask a question?" Guess I'll have to talk to somebody sometime…
With an indifferent expression, she nodded.
"Excuse my blunt phrasing but, why do you care?"
With a sinister grin she started explaining "you're right, I don't." huh?
"I don't even think you're a good fighter, I was just trying to be friendly so I can get close to you." HUH?! Not a good fighter? Wanna fucking go, bitch?
"I-I see… And, why is that?" you better have a good answer!
"I think you have other skills that you didn't show off that I'll need in the future, you used to be an assassin, or to be exact, you used to be a Slayer, correct?" Interesting, did she see other Slayers use Sy before?
"So?" Her brows raised as she gaped.
"Yo-you don't care that I know? You're not even going to deny it?" What's wrong with this girl, dude.
"You can't prove anything, and if you do, however, decide to try to make problems for me, I'll just kill you..." Please give me a reason, my stomach is aching in excitement.
"Geh…! Hehehe, j-just… Forget I ever said anything…" Her voice trailed off and complexion turned pale as she threw me a forced smile and ran away.
*Sigh* Well, that's disappointing…
This intensely boring conclusion made me sleepy, better head back to the dorms.
***
Everything is so quiet near the dorms. Really makes you wonder if it's even the same city.
"Oh Lifes, it's you, where have you been, friend?" Friend? I don't recall having any friends, at all.
"Well, anyway me and Roger are about to-" Cue ball stormed through the door. Right on cue.
"Lifes! You bastard, I'm not done with you!" Charisma lifted his hand to stop Baldy and bit his lower lip before addressing me. Was that frustration on his face?
"Lifes, Roger is just mad becau-"
"Don't care, good night." I just walked past them and entered the house.
"Okay, fine! You don't have to speak to us, but don't expect us to be friends with you if you ever come around, if you ever want us to be friends, you'll have to earn it from now on, I tried enough for you, you dishonest un-grateful idiot!" Hilarious.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
I feel like I could cry laughing right now, how stupid, go play together, alone.
"Good night." Waving my hand at them I went up to my room, and got into the shower.
As the hot water poured over my body, I realized that for some reason my hands were trembling. I'm also feeling sick to my stomach, how strange, I'm usually a lot calmer than that.
Hopefully I'll feel better after a good sleep…

"Ya tryna make some new typa poison brotha?" Huh? Is this another dream? "Yep, wanna help, Ostel?".
"Ya betcha, whado I do though?" Just let me forget this fucking guy already…
"Just hold this glass container. And listen, don't fucking tell Kiyoko we're doing this, got it?"
"Fo sho fo sho, mah lips are S-E-A-L-E-D." I can't believe we used to laugh like that, how sad and childish…
"-s! Yo, Lifes!" What is Baldy's voice doing in my dream??
"Lifes, you jerk, wake up already!" Opening my eyes, I saw Baldy's ugly, muscular face above me, what the fuck is this?
"What?! Why are you in my room?" He looked like he was about to put me back to sleep after that question, why is he so mad this time?
"You little…" he mumbled, quietly, menacingly.
"Hello? Answer?"
"Leo asked that I wake you up, I don't even know why he bothers helping a piece of shit like you, honestly." He said as he opened the door to leave my room.
This Leo is such a dog, just leave me alone already!
Getting ready for school I figured it might be best to start locking my door from now on.
Those guys are too persistent, didn't he say he won't try to befriend me anymore just yesterday?
Whatever, let's just hurry to the academy.
Walking through the same route as yesterday, the fact that it wasn't even an actual road suddenly stuck out to me. This prince is such a rebel, the king should watch out.
Today I need to talk to my anonymous acquaintance. Sometime in between classes should be fine.
My first class today is 'Seals', are they just gonna talk about Seals? Kinda boring isn't it?
***
Entering the classroom I saw an average-looking short-haired four-eyed dude with his back to the class, maybe he's blind?
"Students, may the Firsts give you power, good morning." He turned to us as I sat down, what kinda opening is that, his glasses were barely hanging to his face which looked funny. He is for sure a weirdo.
"C rank or not indeed, all of you are still candidates very much for military enlistments, it is so indeed much needed for you to learn about Seals, we will indeed start with the basics". I guess this guy's gonna talk like a weirdo about boring stuff now?
"Seals do indeed form in children between the ages of 12 and 15.
At a certain, that is, point will the 'Sentence' appear in their mind, as sure I am yes, you have all indeed experienced."
What was mine again? 'כמו עוף החול, יופיע לאחר מותו'? I think it's basically 'Like the Phoenix, he'll appear after his death', in Yirmish - the Hadohian language, right?
Too bad Kiyoko made me get rid of it because she wanted money… It was probably really strong as she got like 1000 gold coins for it.
My hand felt heavy under the weight of my head as I felt like I'm about to fall asleep.
"…thentic'." Apparently I missed some of it, probably the part about how original Seal owners are called 'Authentic' and people who 'borrowed' a Seal - like me - are called 'Fake'.
"'Fake' Sealers, yes they are, can reach only indeed level 5 'ה'. 'Authentic' Sealers yes indeed can reach level 10 'ת'!
Only 2 people – whom we call today 'The Firsts' - in the indeed true history of our blessed continent have indeed reached this highest level, it is yes indeed considered impossible." His eccentric manner of speech yes indeed is funny, but his head movements are the real-deal. Why does his head move like a chicken having a spasm??
"There are yes 2 reasons for the indeed usage of letters from the CURSED! Hadohian language in the Seals' levels indeed.
1 – Hadohians have received indeed their Seals before we Wistians have.
2 – Hadohians have system indeed called 'Gematria' that yes is the basis for our Seals gaining more power for some indeed yet to be known reasons."
With a deep breath, the brain-damaged teacher stopped himself from going into hyper-ventilation.
Well, indeed, this person is unwell.
"However but, 'Sentences' can indeed appear in 3 different yes languages.
Our indeed wistianic yes language, called – Hylandish. The indeed devilish Hadohian cursed people's language - Yirmish. Or, 'The indeed yes Forgotten Language', a nameless language that yes indeed so has been long forgotten."
Kiyoko still knows it though, she says some people still remember this forgotten language, her name and every Slayer's name are all from this language.
I wonder why.
