Unknown Tatoo

"I told you I am alright… so you could stop striping me down!"

Edward jolted and stepped away from the white-haired girl.

"Shut it and let me do the job; Fiona told me to do so!" Rory said as she told Edward to strip out his blooding sleeve shirt.

Edward recalls back what happened a while ago back in the mansion.

*Ping*

The gun then fires the last shot as the magazine of the rifle spring out of the gun's intake and hits the statue for good. It fell to the ground as Edward shot the head of the figure in his last shot. And they all finally when back up the stairs.

"Edward, your bleeding; we should get you to bandage up," Auryan said as he looked at Edward's shoulder to find that the arrow has removed from his body; his sleeve shirt was soaking red in the shoulder area.

As they got up from the surface, they returned to the stair hall where they started. Back to the mansion's front door, they stop and catch their breath after running.

The four students were caught by the sudden noise of opening two doors; the four watched as a figure with a lab coat recognised the person who came in.

"So you four made out, huh," Fiona said as she saw the four crouching down on the floor. Rory sat there checking Liam out while Auryan panicked when Edward seemed to be bleeding.

"Let me help you there; WOW, It's hot; what's happening?" Auryan said as she tried to cover Edward's bleeding with a handkerchief on his hand, but he jolted his hands away from the injured area; it felt as if putting his hands in boiling water.

Edward's injured shoulder begins to release steam from it, and his wounds begin to clog up as if nothing was there.

As Fiona witnesses this, they are stunned to see Edward finally heal.

"How in the world you can do that...." Auryan eyes were surprised to see.

"Alright, everyone, how about we head back for today? Let me handle the rest."

A hand was given to Edward by Fiona as the four watched her slowly approach him.

After accepting it, he was pulled up from the floor, "Are you feeling sick?" she asked.

"No, not really, I'm feeling alright," Edward said when you finally stood up from the floor with the help of Fiona, "Is that so anyhow? Where did you get that from." Fiona points out to Edward's carrying on his back.

It was an M1 Garand, and on the back, as it can tell that the rifle has a leather sling attached, anyone could carry it from their back.

"Urk, I just stole it..... "

".....""

His injured shoulder of Edward begins to release steam, and Fiona stands there silently for a moment before walking directly out the door, "Firstly, I'm going to confiscate that, and secondly, you all need to head back; I will explain everything there."

She said as they all went out of the mansion, they were greeted by a car, and she told the four to hop inside; the four nodded back at her, and they all went in and began to start the engine and leave the summer time rendering soon for good.

That leads back to where Edward is now slowly stripping down his top clothes. As he removed his sleeve shirt, he threw it on the bed. Rory watches without getting distracted by Edward's masculine body.

Rory widens her eyes as she catches something different on Edward's body, "Hmm, is there something wrong?" He asked Rory, "Question, since when did you get that," she pointed at Edward's chest to find a marking sign that looked like a tattoo with word symbols on it.

"Aren't tattoos supposed to be not allowed here? You might get yourself expelled from it." Rory explains another Academy's rules that tell that whoever puts marking on their body shall be immediately punished or expelled,

"Oh, this I don't even know when I got; all I know is that I just appeared in my body suddenly."

Edward said; he could continue to tell Rory; Fiona then came inside the clinic with bandages on her hands; she came towards her desks and placed what she been holding,

After that, she came toward Rory and Edward, stopping as she saw Edward's tattoo on his body.

"Hey, now what is going on? am I going to die, or I'm in trouble." Edward took notice of the two acting weirds suddenly when they saw him. From Fiona's perspective, she knows what she's looking at, but she doesn't know how to approach it.

After a moment, Fiona returned to her desk and pulled out a drawer and grabbed something. 

The drawer was closed back. Edward and Rory tipped their heads in confusion as they approached each other.

As she approaches Edward, she then pulls an object behind her hands and uses it to slice Edward's face,

"Gahhh, what the hell was that for!?"

"Just why did you do that for?" Rory said as she was choked to see Fiona slash Edward's face with a knife.

Edward's smaller design tattoo on his body begins to glow bright blue, and the slash wound on his face begins to steam; Rory and Fiona watch closely with their eye suddenly turning red when they see the blood disappears from his face.

"it uses steam to heal it's wound?" Fiona thought as she watches, Edward's cut healing up.

Their eyes slowly return to normal as Edward's face heal from its small cut to the front.

"That's what I thought..." She said.

"What is it?"

"You have a Taboo Sealed," Fiona said as she counties to explain what is a taboo seal. It's a tattoo that grants user ability and enhanced natural capabilities.

"And the taboo seal is the final stage of fully controlling an artefact... "Fiona mumbled.

"A-Artifact, what now?"

"You have a taboo seal, yet you don't know what an artefact is?" Fiona is taken back by this, a user who was able to get to unlock the third stage.

She sighs and counties to explain everything she has known about the mansion and the seal in his body.

Artefacts, also known as relics, are objects with a long history and deep connections, likely to have solid and powerful abilities that grant their user its hidden power.

"That right there is a taboo seal. It's one of the last stages to acquiring one hundred per cent fully control of the power of its original artefact." Fiona said.

"Okay, your just info dumping me." Edward shares his last comment.

"Can't blame one of the readers are eager to enlighten the concept magic system of this world, and I guess the Author have no more ideas to add on this chapter, to begin with," Rory added.

"Readers? Author?"

"So, just where did you get this from?" She continued to ask Edward further questions.

Edward sat there in silence, trying to answer the question; he said, "I don't know, I just got it since birth."

"Is that so, huh? Anyhow, I think you two should return to your dorms; it's getting late."

Fiona said as she looked out the window to see the sunset going down on the horizon from the hill where the academy campus is built.

"Right before you can go, Edward, don't go on and tell anyone about your taboo seal. We don't know who will steal it from you, so be on guard always; we got it clear?"

Got Edward said as they left the clinic with Rory on his side.

They walk as they leave the building, with Rory right behind him.
