" What happened to your nape? how did you get hurt ", Mr Taylor tye head of Werewolf Slayer academy asked Aranya in confronting tone.
He sure was worried about her but enable to understand why someone from his academy was so weak and easy to get bullied.
Aranya was standing there quietly for the whole time and didn't say a single word when he was asking her what was wrong with her. But then....she flinch ans started trembling when Mr Taylor shouted at her and asked her that question on confronting tone.
It was exactly the scene she prepared herself for. Earlier, there was no thought in her mind that she needed to leave the academy and start a living outside. But now that the thought had built a small house in her mind, she was going to use the whole situation to her advantage.
" M...Mr Taylor, it's....it's nothing. I...I just hurt myself during the solo training ", Answer Aranya in weak tone and soft voice.
Most of the people tsk at her weak behaviour the moment they heard her talk. Don't know why, but they hated her to the point they were really to kill or do anything to her.
The chatter was still going on nonstop and there seem to be no end to them.
" Tsk! such a drama queen ", Jammy Lukan murmured in soft tone as he glance over to her direction and then divert his attention to glance over the whole hall and people standing inside.
The teachers was not surprised to know that Aranya hurt herself while doing training.
But Mr Taylor was not satisfied with her reason and answer. In his view, how could a oer son hurt his own neck? in his mind, she was definitely bullied by someone.
" Are you telling the truth? ", Asked Mr Taylor the head of the academy.
" Y...Yes, Mr Taylor ", Answer Aranya, she was still shuddering from fear. She had the stage fear and would tremble when confront by many people, it was her nature in fact.
" You sure no one bullied you? ", Mr Taylor asked again. He was not ready to let go of this matter.
Even though she was weakest of them all, but Mr Taylor was still responsible for her. So he didn't wanted to compromise when it come to her safety.
The others teachers were feeling annoyed since Mr Taylor was paying too much attention to her again. It was always the case, no matter the situation, he would always back her up.
" Mr Taylor, t....there's something I...I want to tell you and everyone present here ", Said Aranya in soft tone again.
Mr Taylor thought she was finally being honest and was ready to tell who bullied her. In the last fifteen years, there was never the case when someone had got any punishment because of Aranya. No matter the situation and how much she get bullied, she would never talk bad about anyone behind their back and tell on them to teachers.
It was going to be the first time, when she was so eager to tell the name of her the bully.
Students were quite shock and kind of scare because they had done one or thing against her in all these years. And they know it quite clearly that despite the situation, Mr Taylor would stand behind her and do what she tell him to.
" What's the matter, Aranya? please go ahead ", Said Mr Taylor with many expectations in his eyes.
Aranya stand in front of the whole crowd, she was determine to do what was decided already. Even though she told jammy Lukan that she need some time to think, but this opportunity was very good to come.
With this opportunity, she was going to complete her goal. Jammy Lukan was waiting for her to dropped the bomb, it didn't matter how she was going to say. But once she tell everyone, he himself would come out to them and asked for the permission to leave ass well.
Not like the academy would hold on them, they were unless in others eyes anyway, so it was not going to be that difficult if they were to cut ties with the werewolf slayer academy.
" To everyone, who are present here. First of all, I want to apologise to everyone. In those last fifteen years, we train together, sometimes we even got the punishment for being too mischievous and fooling around ", She started with her speech and continue ahead.
but the teachers and Mr Taylor was getting bad feeling from what she was going to tell ahead.
Some of the teachers and students who were very good to Aranya, were feeling odd and strange, they were feeling upset for some reason. The speech was not sounding some kind of happy or a confession from her to the people who bullied her.
Aranya glance at everyone. No matter how how badly she was treated here by some, but there were many who were good to her in all those fifteen years. It was not her intention to feel sad, but she was. She was to fake the sadness but now that she thought about it, she was getting emotional.
" In all these years, all of the people who come before, on the same time as me or those who come later than me, they improved...some of them became famous and did many great achievements. However, there was only one who made no progress at all and stay at the bottom. That lowly person is me ", She said that in pathetic tone.
Her goal was too look pitiful and sad to all of them. No one was allow to know the true her at all.
Everyone started to listen to her speech attentively, they were feeling sad for some reason while listening to her.
" Just get to the point my darling ", Said Jammy in husky heart as he was feeling quite bore and sleepy standing there so straight and listening to that boring speech of her.
Ellie was getting the feeling that she was going to lost Aranya after this. Her heart was quenching and she was getting that odd, enable to get it out from her heart. Ellie, put her hand on her chest as she was looking at Aranya when was talking nonsense on the stage.
" Aranya, what are you upto? I have never seen you talk this much till now ", Ellie was getting anxious.
From the moment Aranya enter the academy, she never talk so much. Even when she was with Ellie, she was still the same. Talking only about the important stuff and not getting to other points...but today, she was taking the initiative to say those words which she never said before.
" I...I just want to say one thing. Over the last fifteen years, I never tried to understand this thing. But now I realised, I am not made for the this place. I finally realised that I can never kill anyone. And so, I want to get out of this place and start the new life. I don't want to become any kind of burden. So Mr Taylor, please grant me the wish to leave this place ", She finally said it out loud.
The words that were stuck in her throat for a short while finally made their way out and were now presented in front of everyone.
" Wow! so this trash finally understand she is not made for this place. I thought it will take her the whole life to get to this point since how dumb she is, but she is quite clever huh ".
" Then...does it mean that we will not have to see the face of this dumbo ever again? wow...".
" We are finally going to become the strongest werewolf slayers in the whole country then huh ".
" Finally, the thorn of this place was going to be pluck out ".
The people had so much to say about her since she was a trash and weed of this institution. They thought they would never be able to get rid of her. But situation was different now...they were happy that the trash and thorn of their way was finally going to pluck out.
Aranya could hear everything and so does the head of the academy Mr Taylor but he was keeping silent. It was just...he was shock.
Ellie and those teachers and students who care about her were feeling upset and sad when they heard that she wanna leave the institution.
" What do you wanna? ", Mr Taylor asked as he was hoping that she just prank or lied to them. But she was not joking from any angle, she was honest and serious.
" You are a lot for me over the years. But I no longer want to disturbed or remain a thorn in the ways of the talented people. Please grant me the wish to set out my foot from here. I no longer wish to stay or train...I want to become a normal person, please Mr Taylor ".
