Sweet little revenge

It was daylight. The wind was blowing gently as the sounds of leaves rustling were heard.

Arthur was kneeling on one knee in front of a man in Black robes. He had dark black hair just like his and a few other features except his red eyes with his hands crossed behind his back exuding a nobility aura.

One could easily tell; they were related.

"Master!" Arthur called out.

"These were your mother's." He said as he held the two identical swords in his hands looking at them with a gentle gaze.

"It's only right for you to have them." He continued as he placed them in his hands.

"I trust in your capabilities!" He declared patting his right shoulder.

"I will not disappoint you!"

*****

Mom, dad! I promised uncle that I won't disappoint him. Be by my side so that I accomplished it. I will sure clear your name. I hope you will be proud of me." He said as he gently smiled.

Then footsteps were heard headed his way then a deep voice was heard.

"Oh! My! What do we have here?" The voice said. On looking, he said two boys with red eyes.

One; taller than the other had red

hair complementing his red eyes while the shorter had black hair with a few streaks of green.

"Dan, it looks like he's a green." The shorter one said.

"Yeah! I see him. What's that in his hands?" He said with a hint of arrogance in his voice.

"It looks like they are swords." He

replied taking a take forward forcefully grabbing his swords.

"Wow. They are of the highest level!" He exclaimed as he swung them a bit.

"Woo...woo...woo." he said as he swung them smiling. Then Dan abruptly grabbed them from him.

"Ooo... it's really true." Dan said as he inspected them.

"We can get a huge chunk from them, Dan."

"Yeah, let's go!" He said as they turned to go. All this while Arthur was just looking at them with his hands closed.

"Where do you think you are going with them?!" He shouted making them stop their tracks. Dan turned back moving towards him.

"Huh?! What did you say? Just dare say it to my face!" He howled as he stood in front of him face to face. Arthur was slightly shorter than him but he wasn't intimidated at all.

"I said; where do you think you are going with my swords?!" He repeated without hesitation.

Dan just couched his punch hitting him hard in his stomach sending him flying his back hitting the wall with a bang.

'Bang!'

'Ouch! That hurt a little.' he thought.

He stood up once again as Dan and the other guy were already by his side. He clenched his fist taking his fighting stance but stopped himself.

'No! These guys have seen my face! If I continue, I might be exposed....." He thought to him self but was snapped back to reality by an outburst.

"Hahahaha..... Ali! Have seen this arrogant fool. He has dared to raise his hands at us! We 'AC' ranks! Hahahaha."

"Hahahaha, let's show him his place." Ali suggested and they began beating him. Punching him, kicking him and cursing him.

"Know PLACE!! You dog!!" Ali and Dan growled in unison like they do this usually as they kicked Arthur who was now on the ground so hard one last time as they went.

"Ahh!" He groaned in pain. "At least I expected this much. But I will surely get back at them." He continued standing up.

He was sure he had broken some ribs but he didn't care as he could

easily regenerate anytime.

All he wanted was to go to the rest room to clean him self before going back to the dorm.

After cleaning up, he waited another 30 minutes for his body to regenerate itself.

'I will have to hurry. I think Alfred is worried' he thought to himself and this was true.

********

A few hours back.

After Arthur left, Alfred waiting for a few hours and he started to panic. Many thoughts were going through his mind.

"What happened to him? Is he in danger? Or..... perhaps he was taken by my haters. All because of me. To get revenge on me." He thought as he raked messing up his hair.

"Nooo, I can't let this happen! I have to get him, now!" He said to himself moving out.

He started searching for him in every area possible but no to avail.

He was really confused and worried so he decided to wait in the dorm.

After long hours of waiting, Arthur entered at 10pm.

"Arthur!" He called out in a horse voice. He didn't know what came into him that he pulled him into a hug.

Leaving both of them surprised.

"Arthur, are you fine? Did you get bullied? Who did that? What....." He asked all that while checking his body before he was cut off.

"Am fine Alfred. I wasn't bullied." He replied while he held his hands in place. He didn't have any scratch on him like nothing happened.

"Am glad you are fine." Alfred declared worried.

**********

The next day went on smoothly as Arthur had prepared to get back his precious swords.

At 8pm, he moved out of dorm with the excuse of getting some fresh air. Alfred wanted to tag along but stopped himself giving him some privacy.

After putting on a black mask that covered half of his face leaving his eyes in red lenses. He wore a red headband with a dark crystal in rank AB.

He moved to the Craftsmanship shop area. This area was for the students who offer crafts.

It was arranged like any market. Several stalls lit up harbouring all kinds of swords on display with green stripes.

The reason he decided to move at night was because he knew that they couldn't sell the swords during day. It could lead to questioning because they were of the highest level.

Looking at all the stalls he decided to go to the best selling one.

"How may I help you?" He had a voice on his left. On looking, it was a student with light green eyes and glasses. His headband had a dark crystal.

"I want a weapon of the highest level. To be exact a sword. If possible, two swords." He said

"Please follow me." The student motioned him in.

On entering, he saw different kinds of weapons on walls and a large table in the middle. Then he had the door opening and he was motioned inside of the secret room.

He saw two students sitting on the red couch with a table in front of them. In total, they were two couches with a table separating them. His precious swords on the table.

The students were none other than Ali and Dan. Ali immediately stood up and looked at him up and down before strolling towards him.

"Oh, who might this mysterious man be?" He asked with a hint of arrogance as he circled around him.

"Please, have a seat." Dan stood up motioning him to the seat opposite him.

"No, am afraid not. I won't stay long!" He replied.

"Oh, so you are busy?" Dan inquired.

"If you would accept, would you like to meet my boss? He asked.

"Why? Who is your boss?" Ali asked with a smirk.

"You wouldn't know unless you come with me." He replied.

"No, we won't go with you!" Ali was hesitant.

"Ok, then, I thought we would use this card!" He said looking at the black card with two golden strips.

"Anyways, it was a pleasure meeting you." He continued pretending to move out.

"Wait! We will go with you." Dan declared. They had fallen in his trap; he knew it would work.

"Ok, then follow me." He said.

They followed him for a few minutes until he stopped in an alleyway between the buildings of classes. They were a few steps behind him.

He turned around and strolled towards them exuding an unfriendly aura.

"Why is my heart thrumming so fast? Am I scared? He's alone!" Ali convinced himself.

"Where is your boss?" Dan asked in an agitated tone.

"Boss? There is no boss." Arthur replied with a grin that disturbed Dan.

"I just wanna teach you a lesson!" He declared.

"Don't even think about winning. You are alone and we are two. Second, you are a coward hiding behind a mask."

"Is that so? We will see about that!" He shouted charging forward.

In an instant, he was already in front of him delivering a straight punch to his face which Dan dogded by ducking out.

On the other hand, Ali had also attacked with a side kick making Arthur grab his leg flipping him that he landed on his front knocking him out.

In the next second, Arthur had pushed Dan to the wall immediately delivering constant punches to his face as Dan guarded as his muscles stiffened.

Arthur then clenched his teeth and decided to strengthen his punches breaking his wrists as blood oozed out making Dan let his guard down.

Arthur then delivered the final blow; an upper cut knocking him out.

He then grabbed his swords turning on his heels and leaving. His fists were covered in blood. Just then, it started raining draining off all the blood on his hands as he remained drenched.
