"Kyla, you know what?...you go on ahead first, I'll be with you in a minute." Jamie walked with Kyla to her dorm until he said those wods to her.
Kyla was startled at first but Jamie moved his hands to hold her face and caress it softly looking straight at her eyes making her stand still like a statue, Her heart started beating faster and faster at these slight intimate moment.
"I'll be right with you in a while, I promise." He nodded to her saying he'll definitely come to her in a while after taking care of something.
"Hmm.... I'll be waiting." Kyla nodded her head and spoke in a voice that could barely hear to anyone, Her face flushed like a tomato.
'Aaah....so embrrassing...can't even look him in the face.' She thought to herself after mustering up the courage to mutter those words.
"Alright, Go inside" Jamie said to her.
"Hmm" she nodded her head as she took a few steps backward and started running after that.
"Hahaha, She's cute." Jamie was surprised to see the usual chatterbox stay silent, acting all cute and shy in front of him all the way walking here.
After watching Kyla running inside he started walking back to the way they came from.
Without going to the same building, Jamie halted his steps when he reached the damaged water fountain inside the old garden.
He moved his gaze left and right like he's looking for something and finally stopped his eyes looking behind him.
"Did you see everything ?" He spoke with a beautiful smile on his face, rather than being angry at the person watching him all this time he seems to be happy about it.
"Oh come on, I know you're there Deputy Headmistress" He spoke again looking behind him.
"Who are you...really?" Jamie could finally hear the voice he's been wanting to hear now, It was a voice that made him happy to be honest.
At the same time a beautiful goddess like figure appeared right where his was looking.
Alanna Zephyrine, The deputy headmistress of the mage academy is now staring at Jamie with her brows furrowed, she seems to have seen everything from the start to finish of what happenned inside the old enchantment building.
But Jamie didn't panic, Instead he was thinking of ways how to make this situation favourable for him from the moment he sensed Alanna tailing him and watching everything.
His [Sense] is now capable of catching even Expert realm mages without them noticing, Since he upgraded every one of them he doesn't need to be fear of anything inside the academy anymore.
But what he does not understand is why she started tailing them, with stealth activated there's no way Alanna could've seen him walking beside Kyla. The only thing he can think of is that somehow Kyla has a relationship with Alanna, enough for her to watch Kyla's back.
Jamie's thoughts are correct, In fact when Alanna was roaming around she came to see Kyla walking nervously glancing around suspiciously, With her senses she definitely heard Kyla speaking to someone else but she didn't see anyone beside her or near her. Alanna and Kyla's mother are somehwhat close since their childhood and even when they were attending the academy as students. That is why Alanna decided to follow Kyla without letting her know thinking that she might be in some trouble, looking after Kyla as a favour to her mother.
When she came to see what was really happenning inside the abandoned building, When the boys started threatening and making sudden moves on Kyla she wanted interfere and heavily punish them for such depraved acts but before she could do anything suddenly Jamie Walker, a well known prodigy appeared out of nowhere startling her and then all the things went awry. The mysterious things the boy did made her feel an unknown emotion inside her.
Whether it is curiosity or it is fear, She doesn't know but what she does know is that Jamie Walker is probably the most mysterious person she has ever seen.
'Whether it is his unknown powers or that artifact that could control time, I've never seen anything like this before.' Alanna thought to herself inside her head looking at the smiling young man in front of her.
'How did he know I was following him?' she thought.
'No! how did her escape my senses in the first place even if he could escape my eyes.' She shook her head in confusion.
"You seem to be lost in your thoughts" suddenly she snapped out of her thoughts as she heard the young man's voice.
She remembered that she said the exact same thing to him when they met for the first time.
she was embarrassed for some reason whe she heard that, but she quickly recovered from it maintaining her composure.
'As expected from a grandmaster mage.' Jamie smiled at her.
"Answer my questions Jamie, you violated the academy rules. Killing other students in the academy ground is prohibited, You will have to face heavy punshiments for your actions." Alanna spoke with a serious tone.
Jamie frowned at her without saying anything.
"Then is it okay if those bastards to trick a girl using me as an alias and force themselves on her? Destroying her enitre future?" He spoke coldly.
Alanna widened her eyes for a while,
"But that didn't happen did it? I was going to interfere before that happened and there was no need to kill anyone of them since they didn't do anything to Kyla, she is safe." she countered his words with a calm voice.
"Hah, I really thought you'd be more diferent than this Alanna." Jamie shook his head with a deafeated smile.
"You will address me as Deputy Headmistress, Not by my name Jamie." Alanna frowned at his words.
"Then dear deputy headmistress tell what happenned with Erika, Lyla, Fienna and Rose....care to tell me what happenned to those girls and the ones I don't even know of." Jamie lost his cool the moment she acted like those scums were good people, protecting them.
"W-What?" Alanna widened her eyes surprise and covered her mouth with her hand as she never expected to hear those names from his mouth.
"W-What d-do you know?" She asked in a trembling voice, she lowered her head unable to meet his gaze.
"It's okay for the lives of those girls to end like that while these scum who did that to carry on with their days in pleasure, They don't even have a single guilt toward them. If not why would they try to force themsleves on Kyla. If I wasn't there Kyla would be the next victim on that list." Jamie said looking at her.
"Where were your fucking rules when that happenned huh? Where were you when many more innocent students got bullied and killed somwhere in this very academy grounds by those arrogant nobles who look down everything like they're some kind of higher existenses" He spoke nonstop making Alanna unable to say anything, she seems to be lost in her thoughts.
"If you're really the deputy headmistress of this academy, If you want me to call you by that title then you should better act like one. I know how you get pushed around by the professors like a pushover, Even when you have the power of a peak grandmaster you don't even do anything to make use of it"
"I really hoped you'd be different from what I heard.... If you want to punish me, then expel me. I don't care, I'll do what I think is right for me. Since no one's following the rules here why should I follow them, and the Headmistress seems to have a different opinion from you, Isn't that why she didn't do anything to change this and left everything to you. Yet you refuse to do anything about it." Jamie was no longer angry as he didn't want to make thing much harder, he spoke in a calm voice after his rambling.
"I'm going, If you have anything to say to me. Then you know where to find me." He disappeared, leaving Alanna alone to her thoughts.
As Alanna heard every single thing Jamie said, she couldn't bring herself to talk back at him, She remembered what hapenned three years ago, The incident that made her have thoughts about stepping down from her postion in the academy as she realized she's not a person deserving the title of deputy headmistress of the best academy in the continent of humans.
'To think that even someone so younger than me has so much courage to do what I can't. How pathetic to hear those things from a young boy when I've lived for three hundred years.' she thought to herslef mockingly.
'I've lived all this while lying to myself, I really got my hopes up for no reason thinking this time It would be different.' she shook her head.
If it was someone else in the grandmaster realm, then Jamie would've been dead the moment he spoke like that to them, But he lost his cool since he didn't like how the woman he's chasing after acted like that but it was still a surprise to Jamie that she didn't say anything or do anything to him.
After a while she also disappeared from that place, Jamie walked out of his stealth thinking if he went too far with his words.
'She won't kill me right?' He gulped nervously.
'Will she tell the headmistress?' he got more nervous thinking about her.
'How does she have such low self esteem. It's just like what Esme told me. If It was someone else I would've been crushed to death.' He sighed to himself shaking his head.
'I lost my composure there. That's why grandmasters are better at controlling their emotions, it would be a disaster if I lost my cool in a battle.' He contemplated seriously.
"I shouldn't have lost my cool if it was anyone else, It's because she acted like that this happenned, Haah....this whole thing got screwed up because of those scum, I'll definitely beat up those two bastards who's still alive" He mumbled to himself as he activated stealth once again and disappeared, walking toward the girls dormitory.
