“People of this world are born with a mystical energy in their body called aura. There are three different ways to utilize this energy. Aura can increase your strength, speed and defence. However, this does not mean everyone can use aura equally. Some people are born with certain deposition towards certain attributes of aura. Some can increase their strength further, some run faster and some can become as hard as iron.”

Once the laughing in the classroom was finished, Ryo and I walked in. Returning to our seats I waited until the bell rings signalling the start of class. Not much happened during this class, again the assignments were too easy. At this point in order not to stand out, I think I’ll lower my mark. Like last time Ryo had a difficult time with the assignment. Then the bell rang.

“Alright, everyone is dismissed.”

Everyone follows the prince out the classroom towards the cafeteria, laughing on the way. The only people left in the classroom are Ryo and me.

“Aren’t you going to the cafeteria?”

“What about you?”

“I have my own lunch.” Ryo then pulls out a small box with a homemade lunch inside.

“That doesn’t look like enough.”

“Shut up, it's what I have.”

I don’t know why but I sat there for a couple of minutes watching him eat.

“Hold on I be right back.”

He doesn’t say or even look at me when I leave the room walking towards the cafeteria. I order a salad and a steak set from the lady making the food.

“Wow, you must be a big eater to order two sets.”

“I guess you could say that.”

Carrying the trays back in a butler like fashion. I return to the classroom and place the steak tray in front of him and sit in my own seat.

“What is this?”

“It’s a steak.”

“Why?”

“Just think of it as a favour.”

We don’t say anything for the rest of the meal. He wolfs down the meal in the half the time I finish mine. I see a small smile appear for a split second out of the corner of my eye as he finishes the steak.

“Oh, this is where you were you bastard.”

Suddenly a group of blond hair kids walk into the class. The kids look only couple of years older than me, maybe 7 years old. Immediately Ryo head looks towards the ground and doesn't come back up. The kids surround him then started poking at him and pushing him.

“See I told you he can’t do anything.” They continue to harass him and slowly escalates to punches. The guy who looks like the leader pulls his arm back preparing to punch.

“That's enough. “ I grab his arm and pull it away before he could.

“What are you doing? Are you defending him?”

“No I just really like you, and I want to hold your hand.”

“Let go! do you know who I am? I am William Sterling. Who are you to stop me?”

“I’m just a son of a merchant. Like I said I just want to hold your hand. Maybe we could go out.” I take his hand forcing him to stroke my cheek.

“You impudent little brat!” He swings his free hand back towards me and instinctively I duck under and twisting my body with my punch hits just below his right side of his ribcage. After receiving my punch, he hunches over holding himself. He tries to say something, but can’t.

“You’ll pay for this. Get him!” All the rest of the kids start to swing at me. My body started to move on its own. Ducking under wide swings and slipping past straight punches, then delivering quick punches to vital body parts. All of them are now hunched over.

“What did you do!?”

“I hit them.”

“You don’t understand, my mom and I will be thrown out onto the street, they will hunt my family down to the world’s end.”

“You fools.” That William guy had seemed to recover. “Do you not know who my father is?”

“No idea.” Shit is he from a super powerful family.

“My father is a direct subordinate to the Lafel merchant company. If I ask my dad then you won’t be able to do any business anymore”

The room goes silent for a moment. Till I start to laugh hysterically.

“Oh, this is really just too much.”

“What are you laughing about?”

“Oh if you knew. By the way, I never did introduce myself. My name is Luno Lafel, son of Artorias Lafel current head of the Lafel merchant company.” I do a little bow as etiquette dictates.

“.....WHATTTTT!”

“Don’t worry I won’t do anything…. Yet.”

“I'm sorry please forgive me! I’ll do anything” He is surprisingly obedient now. I have an interesting toy now.

“For now just leave and never speak a word to anyone.”

“Okay, we’ll leave. Come, one everyone.” Will and his hoodlums left classroom quietly.
