Chapitre 20: C20. Exposed??

I felt my body freeze as I slowly tilted my head over.

"Who are you?" my eyes squinted in suspicion. I was certain I had never seen his face before.

He didn't reply, simply giving me one a glance before resuming his book.

With no choice but to sit back down, I crossed my arms and legs and waited for an answer, but none came.

"What do you want? What do you know?" I asked another question, releasing my own killing intent at his direction.

He raised his head, taking one look at the book in my head, "Wood from the Dari Tree… wasn't it…?" He spoke, reaching one hand in his pocket and taking out a small branch,

"You can't intimidate me." He leaned forward, holding it before him, "Mr. Werewolf. One wrong move and I'll make sure to stab this through your heart."

He tapped the end of the branch to the back of my hand.

TSSS

CRREAK

He stood up from his chair, pocketing the branch, and walked off, leaving behind the book on the table.

"Lenso? What're you doing here?" the smell of the mannequin reached my nose as her figure could be seen jogging over, "Who was that?" She whispered, staring at the retreating figure before glancing back over, "He had a really serious expression, what were you guys talking about?" Sara inquired with a worried expression before catching a glimpse of my hand, her eyes widening,

"You're injured!" She suddenly grabbed my hand a burn mark around the size of a coin could be seen on the back of my hand, blood slowly dripping out, "When did this happen?" She quickly dug through her pocket and took out a small round metal ointment canister, opening it up and applying a bit to the wound.

"You should be careful next time, it could be easily infected if not treated right," She scolded with a sigh, putting the ointment back into her pocket and sitting down on the seat opposite me. "We have the exam in a few days, you can't just carelessly get injured like that. If you fail the exam, even if you have the backing of the Grand Duke, you'll still be expelled," she continued to rant.

"So what are you doing here?" I interrupted her before she could speak any further, my ears going to burst if it continued,

"Oh, I came to look for a book, some research for the exam, you know." She replied, noticing me attempting to change the topic, "Anyway, where's that sidekick of yours, and what're you doing here? I don't take you for the reading books type,"

She looked down at the book I had borrowed with a raised eyebrow.

"Palmer went with his group of friends," I said, grabbing the book and getting up.

"Were you researching monsters?" She tilted her head,

"Mhm," I simply answered, making my way back to the bookshelf and sliding the book back into its original spot.

"Oh," I suddenly had an idea, turning back to Sara with a slight look of seriousness, "Can you go find out who that kid I talked to was?"

"You want me to ask around?" Sara could be seen physically flinching at the idea,

"Do you not have friends you could ask?" I frowned at her hesitation,

"I-It's not that I chose to not have friends!" She pouted, avoiding eye contact as she fiddled with her fingers, "It's just... people think...have their opinions....you know...?"

I let out an audible sigh as I walked past her, leaving the library with her on my tail, "I'll just have to ask Palmer then," I muttered as opened the building door and entered the courtyard, looking around, spotting Palmer a short while later, laughing with his group of mates near the lecture buildings.

"Hey!" I approached them with my hand in my pocket and Sara close behind, "I need to borrow Palmer for a second," I glanced over at Palmer who seemed surprised at my sudden appearance,

"Oh Lenso, What do you need?" He quickly skipped over,

I quickly filled him in on the situation, just briefly telling him that I wanted him to help find a person for me,

"Uh, you have like a name or an appearance or something?" He raised an eyebrow, "I'm not that popular, but I can at least try asking my friends."

"He had really dark hair, almost black, but still brown, glaring eyes, and around my height. Oh, he also had a birthmark or something on his left thumb." I described,

"I'm pretty sure he's a Senior as well," Sara added, "I'm sure I've seen him around before, I've never talked to him or anything before,"

Palmer nodded as he made a quick mental note, "Just wait a few seconds, I'll go ask my buddies about it," he jogged back to his group and began talking to them, regurgitated what I had said back to them.

"A birthmark on his left thumb?" One of them spoke up, "I'm pretty sure there's a guy like that in the Senior Scholar Class. You could try to ask them about it,"

"Aren't they talking about Yerindin? That half-elf guy?" Another suddenly jumped in, "I remember hearing that he's like an illegitimate elf royalty or something,"

"Yerindin?" I repeated, noting down the name, "Does he have any special qualities other than his title? Has there been anything interesting about the guy at all?"

They gave it a thought before shaking their heads,

"Oh, I remember he did make quite a commotion back in his Junior years though," one suddenly said, "It was when we found out he was half-elf."

"What weird about being a half-elf?" I tilted my head,

"It's just… elves are said to be really arrogant and would never copulate outside their people, Yerindin, being half-elf was kinda an anomaly, and even more so when he was found out to be of royal blood."

"…I see," I frowned, none of this gave me any real answers to my questions.

How the hell did he figure out my identity?

BRRRINNNNNGGGG BRRRINNNNGG

The bell rang from the loudspeakers right above our heads,

"We'd better head off to class then," Palmer interrupted my interrogation, flinching at the loudness of the bell, "We'll talk about this later,"

The group nodded before quickly dispersing.
