It was just an imagination

***************************

Xavier blinked and he saw Carigan still smirking at him.

'Damn,it was just an imagination.' Xavier thought inwardly,but that imagination was about to become real if Carigan doesn't get the fuck away from him.

Everyone grouped into two and Carigan was hell-bent on sparing with him.As soon as the bells rang, Carigan charged at him with full force,Xavier tried to defend himself but Carigan was a senior and had learnt the basics even before he arrived here.

The main purpose of this sparing between seniors and juniors was to teach and show the juniors the basics,how to attack offensively and defend, But Carigan was fighting him like an equal.He swung his blade fast and with a lot of force that the impact caused Xavier's sword to vibrate in his hands.

"Arrgh!!!" Xavier groaned in pain when Carigan sliced his thigh, violating the first rule of no bloodshed.The teachers ran towards him and helped him to his feet while glaring at Carigan.

"You violated a rule,Prince Carigan." A teacher said.

"I did not, he's not used to his blade and accidentally hurt himself while I was teaching him offense." Prince Carigan lied with a straight face that made Xavier wonder if he was human.

"That's a fucking lie,you violated a rule!" Xavier said with clenched fist.

"Don't you dare raise your voice at me,this is my Kingdom and you are a foreigner here,So don't blame me for your mistake!" Carigan said throwing the sword on the floor.

" We are all equals in this temple,even if you are the prince of this kingdom!" Xavier countered.

"You will never be my equal,you will always be below me do you know why? cause you are a fo-reign-er" Carigan said,stressing the word, Foreigner.

Xavier left and walked to the halls with clenched fist,he was the only one there and the rage he felt made him scatter the benches and punched anything he saw.

"Did that make you feel better, Foreigner?" He heard Emily's voice behind him and then turned to her.

"Don't...call me that." He said with clenched fist, Emily walked to him and then circled around him while her hands were behind her back,like master walking around his student and putting sense into his head.

"Why, do you hate being called a foreigner?" she asked and he glared at her.

"Then use it." She said.

"Use what?" He asked.

"Your Hatred, let it loose, it's better than keeping it bottled inside." Emily said, standing infront of him, their faces, just inches apart. "What or who are you?" she asked again.

"I'm Prince Xavier of the Cranes kingdom in Alfie land." Xavier said with a straight face.

"Well,tha isn't who you are here in Alpha land."

"I'll tell you what,I heard Carigan is planning to challenge you and humiliate you Infront of everyone in the temple" Emily said.

"I also heard you are also a fast learner." She said again.

"And what are you implying?" Xavier asked.

"I'll teach you what I know,so you can be ready." Emily said.

"No," Xavier said sternly.

"Prince Carigan is the prince of this kingdom will you just let him humiliate you knowing your kingdom will also be laughed at and humiliated too?" She said and Xavier who was about to walk past her,halted in his tracks.

"I heard all prince's had pride,I guess yours is not enough." Emily said.

"I have enough pride, not to let a girl teach me." Xavier said.

"Opportunity comes only once,I might be your chance to finally shut Carigan up" She said and patter him on his shoulders before leaving him in the hall.

"F*ck!!" Xavier yelled.
