559 Forbidden practice*

With a devilish grin flashing proudly on his face, Alex leaped and landed at the roof of the chateau. His eyes filled with mischief as he imagined the shock on Zeke's oh-so-stoic face the moment he appeared before him.

A short chuckle escaped from his throat, and then, his eyes turned into pale gold. "Here I come, Zeke!" he murmured, then he became a blur and disappeared from the spot where he was standing.

The next moment, a loud sound accompanied by a small quake shook the chateau. Alex had crashed himself on the window, creating his very own entrance so he could enter Zeke's room in surprise. The window and the walls around it crumbled as if a man-sized meteor crashed into it.

Landing coolly on the floor, Alex lifted his smug face as some of the debris still falling behind him like a dramatic background effect.

"Yo, Ze –" Alex couldn't even finish his greeting. His mischievous smirk abruptly faded the moment he looked at the man before him.
