Ch. 16 'The Wolf Clan'

"Come on! We must go quickly." Karyn kept on chattering while taking a few books that will be needed in class later.

"But why do we have hunting lessons?"

"If we succeed in entering the S-class, we will be sent out to carry out the mission. Well, maybe some of us have to stay in the forest for a few days. If we run out of food, we can hunt in the forest."

"Oh, I see. By the way, you haven't told me about our friend. Kazu? Yes, Kazu is his name, right?" Niken remembered that her senior, Shin Ha, called the man Kazu.

"Ah, Kazuto? I'm not very interested in him, so I didn't find out any information about him. Even though he's handsome, he's terrifying. I'm telling you this, especially after seeing his clansmen's characters who are in A-class. He also came from the wolf clan. He gets angry easily and doesn't like his naps being disturbed. Do you know that once he gets angry, you will see a wolf in his body?" Karyn lowered her voice before continuing, "He is the descendant of wolf shapeshifter."

"Wolf shapeshifter? So he could transform into a wolf?"

Karyn smiled reluctantly. "I've never seen it in person. Only rumors circulated. But which one dared enough to approach him hearing that frightening rumor?

Although Kazuto was said to be the weakest member of the entire clan, his very existence still made someone's blood run cold. So it's best if you keep your distance from him. No one will know what will happen if Kazuto changes into a monster or something more terrible."

"So, basically, you know nothing about Kazuto." Guess Niken with a disappointed voice.

"Aside from him coming from the Beast clan and he is good friends with senior Shin Ha? Nope. I know nothing. Are you interested in Kazuto?"

"What? No, of course not." Niken was too embarrassed to admit it.

"In that case, good. I hope you will never be interested in Kazuto or any Wolf clan member. And one more thing, if you meet with our upperclassman, the one I told you about, avoid him in that second. He loves to look for trouble and commotion. He is also very tall and big; his hair is black and long like a woman's hair and also..." she stopped when she saw someone's figure.

The weird thing was her hand-held on Niken's hand trembled in fright.

"What's wrong?" Niken asked, confused; then, she turned to the place Karyn saw.

In that instant, her legs went limp as she saw someone there who was ambling towards them.

She remembered Karyn described someone as tall and big, long black hair precisely like this terrifying man. The man's aura emitted a frightening dark and raw energy. He looked like a grim reaper with the black coat covering his whole body.

As if it's not enough, that person's eyes-those eyes were as scary as a predator ready to pounce on its prey. It was such a spine-chilling atmosphere for the girls.

Unknowingly, Karyn and Niken became like a statue in their place. They wanted to run but didn't have the energy to move their legs.

As if not worse enough, the spine-chilling man stopped right next to them. They hold their breath.

Why did he have to stop next to them? Both Niken and Karyn wanted to cry at that moment.

The aura of that man strikes terror into the girls.

"Rats like you girls, if you love your life, better not provoke me. I hate people talking badly about other people behind their backs. When I hate someone, I will make sure they won't live another day."

Niken cried at her heart.

'Huwaaaa... this man is so scary!'

After finishing his speech, the person continued to walk in a relaxed manner. The girls' feet went limp until they sat down with weakness when they did not hear the person's footsteps.

"That... that was really..."

"Scary." continued Karyn with a weak voice.

Niken nodded in agreement. Now she understood why she had to avoid the man. She will remind herself to run straight away if she meets the man again.
