16 "The Challenge"

"The world is blue, like an orange."

"Who is this beauty?"

I was nervously tugging at myself, but the man wouldn't let me move. As a last resort, I tried to stand still, but he started walking as he threw me on his shoulder. What was going on? I didn't want to fall victim to a maniacal man, but he was so strong that I couldn't even move. He knew that I could not get rid of him, so he continued on his way without worrying. He started to giggle when I started screaming at the top of my chest. I kept shouting as I got even more annoyed.

"Let me go! Can't you understand the words?"

As the man laughed cheerfully, I gave up and set myself free. When he lowered me, my eyes widened in shock and I just stared at the man.

Was the ginger guy in front of me the man who just carried me? He grinned and showed my back while I was still looking at him. The imposing man in the suit I saw when I looked back made me swallow loudly. As the man grabbed my arm, he moved forward to the big door and let me in. While that guy was following us, I was thinking about what kind of trouble I got into it. When the man spoke with his loud voice, I almost fell over.

"Who are you? New student?"

As the man looked at me expectantly, I straightened my shoulders and nodded.

"Yes. I'm the new student."

"Good. If you come to this college, you know something. This is not a normal college, little lady. And if you ask what this is, the only answer I can give you is: It's a place where there is a lot of illegal work. If you are a spy or something, I suggest you don't stay here because this place is full of sorcerers! And magic is not the only thing they can do, unfortunately! Is there anything not understood?"

The man's self-righteous demeanor made me nervous. I clenched my hands and took a deep breath.

"I understood everything. There are some things that I want you to understand, too. I believe that if no one interferes with me, I will get along very well with everyone here. Is there anything not understood?"

He was impressed by my imitation and challenge to him. He smiled and shook his head. I rushed open the door and went out and saw him.

Dylan...

I heard a voice behind me as I stared at him like hypnotized. When I turned around, the person I saw was that guy again.

"Nobody would dare this much... I appreciate you..."

"I don't need your discretion!"

"Anyway, Miss Angry... Can you give me your name?"

Really... What was my name? I said the first name that came to my mind and hoped it wouldn't be suspicious.

"My name is Rosé."

Without waiting for an answer from him, I turned around and started walking. Dylan, Tom, and a few people with him were talking and laughing. I pretended not to see him from their side coming towards me and continued walking.

"Hey, blonde!"

I turned around nervously and closed my eyes. Why was everyone finding me from day one?

"Yeah?"

As he stared at me and laughed, Dylan pulled him suddenly and looked at me and smiled embarrassingly.

"Sorry," he hesitated and continued. "It's your first day, right?"

"How do you know it's my first day?"

"I know everything here. You look very delicate. You need to take care of yourself. Or they'll eat you here..."

I cast my scornful gaze at him and started talking.

"I don't think you know everything here, Dylan..."

I was trying hard not to laugh as Dylan and the others looked at me in surprise. The ginger guy, who grabbed my arm just as I was leaving, looked at me with anger. As I was about to hit him with my other hand, he grabbed my wrists. I hated this phobia as I still had a weak spot while looking at him in fear. As my breathing quickened, I closed my eyes and tried to speak.

"Drop my wrists…" I was almost hissing.

Dylan intervened and saved my wrists as the guy gave me an uncomprehending glance.

"Enough, Bruce! Go mess with someone else!"

Dylan started taking me as he grabbed, while the guy named Bruce looked at me with anger. Dylan squeezed me into the wall and spoke with anger when we came to the eerie backyard of the place called college.

"Who are you?"

"If you know everything, you should know my name is Rosé, Dylan!"

Dylan squeezed my wrists and seriously hurt me. As I looked at him with fearful eyes, he suddenly shook and walked away from me.

After he looked at me for the last time, he turned and disappeared. Maybe it would be really hard. Very, very difficult...

A girl who was a janitor here showed me my room and then quickly left my side. I couldn't understand the people here. Instead of treating everyone equally, they always privileged those who were powerful, rich and beautiful.

I looked out from the small balcony and watched the sorcerers in the garden training martial arts. Bruce and Dylan were the trainers. Even though they were students, it means that they were teaching after a while… As I stared at Dylan with my eyes, my eyes suddenly met Bruce. This guy really made me nervous. As Bruce left his training, he came under the balcony and started talking.

"I'm not done with you, blonde! I challenge you!"

Everyone was applauded as I stared at him confused. As the clapping and humming sounds were rising, I went back into my room with anger and slammed the door of the balcony. When I heard the knock of the door of the room, I took quick steps to the door and opened it, snarling seriously. While Bruce grinned at me, I grabbed his collar and yelled.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Very simple, my problem is you... I challenge you. This time you don't have a Dylan to save you, unfortunately!"

This guy was really driving me crazy.

"We'll make a bet. If you win the fight, I'll do whatever you want, but if I win, you'll do whatever I want! I mean... Whatever I want!"

I didn't know how to fight. While I was standing here to realize my most important plans, was I going to deal with this little baby? When I was going to say I don't fully accept it, I saw Dylan from behind telling me to accept with a mouth gesture.

"Okay, I agree." Bruce looked at me mockingly and laughed.

"I think I'll have a lot of fun..."

My nervous chin made my head throb when I realized what he was referring to. Dylan, who entered just as I was about to close the door to my room and go to sleep mode, made my sleep go far, far away. I hit him hard and stared at him with my questioning gaze.

"First, why did you enter my room? Second, why did you want me to accept that damn challenge?"

"I walked into your room because I'm going to tell you something and this is about the challenge... And don't worry... Blondes are not in my area of ​​interest. I, more..."

"You, what more?"

"Anyway... there is always a week left for the challenge, which means we can train for a week."

"Why are you helping me?"

"I help you, but there will be a condition for this help."

"Someone in this college makes a bet, someone stipulates... What kind of people are you? What do you want?"

"I'll help you and if you win the challenge you'll answer everything I ask, but if you don't win, I'll leave you alone. You're going to deal with Bruce a lot, as I understand... Got it?"

"Got it..."

After we both smiled at each other, he closed the door and left. When I was lying on my bed, the screams I heard outside made me afraid, and the door was also forced. The outside voices grew louder as I stared at the person who broke the door with a wide open mouth...
