Chapter 35:Principal
The entire empire was rocked by the news, they always had the notion that the Starlight Academy were the strongest. So for a single instructor from the Lunar Academy to charge over to the Academy and even almost killing an instructor was a surprise.
What shocked the people more was the fact that the Principal of the Starlight Academy let him go scot free. It was like a slap to his face. They were waiting patiently for more chaos to ensue, because they believed the matter won't end like this.
Back at the Lunar Academy....
In a room in the teachers living area....
"What you did was rash" A soft voice said.
"I couldn't just let him go like that, what if he had killed you?" The voice of a man rebutted strongly. Anger was slightly visible in his voice.
"She's right Blake, you shouldn't have just charged over without notifying us. What if it escalated more than this?" A stern voice reprimanded also.
"To hell with them, if it's war they want, we're not afraid of them" Another voice filled with anger spoke up abruptly.
"For once I agree with this hothead here. If it's war they want, we aren't afraid of them" A serene voice could also be heard.
The people gathered here were the Head instructors of each Hall, along with the injured Delia who was lying on a bed.
Delia looked at Blake and stopped speaking, she knew his personality very well. Once he's angered, he wouldn't think of the repercussions of his actions. Although he's cool-headed some of the time, he mostly acts according to his emotions.
Oliver nodded and studied the injured Delia for some time before shifting his gaze towards Blake. "Blake, I see you're still as hotheaded as usual" Oliver said with a carefree smile.
When Blake saw that smile, he felt a chill down his spine. He was very familiar with Oliver and knew when he was angry or in a good mood.
"Not at all Principal, it's just I couldn't allow them to step on our instructors" Blake explained with a shrinking voice.
Blake expected punishment for what he did, Oliver has always been the type who liked avoiding trouble at all costs. People always thinks he has a weak personality, only those close to him knows just how terrifying he can be.
Oliver had a fiery temper when he was young, there was a time when he was offended by a clan while he was on a mission. He nearly wiped out the entire clan due to his temper. It caused a huge stir back then. Since then, he has always tried to keep his temper in check.
"Feed her this, it should help with her injuries" Oliver handed a tonic over to Blake before leaving. "Don't worry about the outcome of what you did, I'll settle it" Oliver's voice echoed in the room even after he had left.
Blake stared at the departing Oliver, before staring at the tonic in his hands.
"You should drink this" Blake placed the tonic close to Delia. He stared at her for a while before heading towards the door.
"We should let her rest" Michael suggested. They all nodded their heads in approval before leaving Delia alone.
Delia just stared at the ceiling after they were gone. Some minutes later, she heard sounds of footsteps. Blake walked back into the room. "How come you're back so soon?" Delia asked when she saw it was Blake.
"I came to ensure you take the tonic" Blake said calmly.
"Dummy" Delia said with a smile. 'What a silly excuse' she felt happy inside at the thought of Blake returning.
Blake didn't respond to her comment and just sat close to her.
