Threat

A deep voice echoed in the whole room. The black masked person spoke as he closed the door carefully.

" That's my line, you fucker."

Who the fuck is he? Barging into my room and smashing my handsome face.

" I asked, who are you? you weren't supposed to be here. How did this happen? Who messed up this time now?"

The figure just kept on mumbling while staring daggers at me. By his tone and shaking eyes, anyone can tell that this person was going through a major amount of stress.

" I should be the one asking you, who are you?"

I asked in a calm tone while massaging my face.

' That bastard hits too hard.'

" That's not important, tell me how did you get here?"

" Do you think I would tell you?"

" Is that so?"

Another smash straight on my face. The figure was getting more impatient as time goes by.

" For fuck's sake, don't hurt my face."

" Oh! I won't, if you tell me who you are?"

The figure came closer to me and lifted me by my hair.

" Talk, who are you? And how did you get here? "

" Khuk..."

The figure tightened his grip on Rudra's neck while his other hand pulled down his head by the hair.

' Why isn't my skill activating?'

' Huu.... Calm down'

' May be I am lacking in concentration.'

Rudra closed his eyes and stopped struggling. Sensing this, the figure loosened his grip on Rudra's neck.

Suddenly, Red fog spread in the whole room, the smell of blood spread in the air and Rudra's body started emitting red energy causing the figure to back down.

" Hmm? A skill capable of instilling fear, is that the only skill you have? No that can't be. Tell me, what are you hiding?, how did you get here?, what is your purpose?"

The figure wasn't scared rather he was being a bit careful.

' Damn ' Aura of the slaughterer' isn't having any effect.'

' I don't know who this guy is but I had enough being pushed around today. I will use all of my mana, let's see if you are still capable of resisting it.'

" Haa.."

Rudra took a long breath and-

" Aura of the Slaughterer."

A sudden burst of mana came from Rudra causing the Red hue to spread out of the room. Rudra's whole body was enveloped in red colour, his eyes shining bright red and a strand of his hair turned Red. An ambiguous figure materialized behind Rudra which caused a huge pressure to fall in the area, alerting all of those who are on the same floor.

The figure backed down again, but this time fear was evident in his eyes. But he soon regained his clarity and disappeared from the spot.

Sensing that the danger is gone, Rudra stopped using his skill. The ambiguous figure behind Rudra disappeared and Rudra fell unconscious.

" Damn it, I left that guy just for a second and he got into another trouble."

Evan screamed, and Ran toward Rudra's room.

Ethne and Erika who were chatting with him in his room also ran behind Evan.

Evan reached in front of Rudra's room and started banging the door.

" Rudra, hey what happened?, Are you alright?, Damn it, answer me."

" Calm down Evan, you are getting too worked up."

" What was that pressure though?"

" How can I not worry, when he isn't answering?"

Evan kept banging on the door, but no response came.

" It's no use, I will call security staff to unlock the door."

After a few minutes Ethne came back.

A female staff member came with her. She used an extra card to unlock the door.

As soon as the door opened, they found Rudra's figure collapsed unconscious on the ground.

" Hey Rudra, What happened?"

The group quickly entered the room. Evan lifted Rudra and put him on the bed. He inserted a bit of his mana in Rudra, but found nothing abnormal.

" How is he?"

" He is in a state of mana exhaustion. Nothing abnormal."

Evan answered clearly. He turned around and checked the room to find anything suspicious.

" He used up all of his mana as soon as he got in the room. why? Did someone attack him?, But it's impossible given our academy's security."

He searched around the room but didn't find anything out of ordinary. The same simple room as everyone, spacious enough to be called a home for a family of 5, but without much decoration and personal belongings which is given since he is a new student.

" Haa... I am exhausted."

---------------------------------------------

The next day.

" Ugh..."

I woke up with a headache and a rumbling stomach. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday on top of that I even used all of my mana at once.

What a pain.

I quickly finished my daily chores and stepped out of my room. I headed towards the lift.

The rectangular shaped lift installed in the mighty tree descends in spiral shape which carries 30 cabins to transport people. Solving the problem of traffic.

Today is my first day at the academy.

Yup, you heard it right.

NO way in hell I am accepting yesterday as my first day of the academy, honestly I don't even want to remember it.

If I have to name it, it would be my first day in the medical ward, remembering all the time I spent in there.

I arrived at the ground floor in no time, exiting the lift along with other students of my class. I walked along side the others as I don't know much about the academy either. The atmosphere between us was pretty awkward as they kept asking questions one by one and I answered them in only one word. I didn't even listen to them properly and just kept walking.

" Hey do you like Idols?"

" Yes."

" Then you must know about Shuri, right?"

" Yes."

" Which one do you like in her group?"

" Yes."

" Is it this one?"

" Yes."

" Bro, you got some weird taste."

" Yes."

As we were walking, I found Evan, Ethne, Erika and snow talking with each other. Evan and Ethne were talking about some stuff, Erika disturbing them with her unique antiques and Snow just looking around, not interested much in their conversation. Others who were with me greeted them, but I didn't do much and just nodded my head.
