"It was one way or the other kid and obviously we knew you would be back".
This voice was one Arthur hated.A voice that had suspended him from coming to Ember Academy for a month.Well then,if this was how they wanted it then they were in for a shock of their lifetime.
"It seems you have a knack for creating troubles everywhere you go".
Another sounded,this was rather sounded more feminine, indicating the gender of the individual.
"First it was the principal's nephew now it's Mayd whose background isn't anything to scoff at kid".
The three seated at the top stared down at Arthur with disdain,like a tainted child who's hands were stained with blood and destruction.
"I came because due to the respect I have for you guys not because I fear you guys"
"It's a lie,I truly despise you guys but you don't need to know".Arthur inwardly voiced out.
"The audacity of this kid,are you hearing what I'm hearing Michael".
The one seated as the left of the one in the middle voiced out with an annoyed look plastered on his face.This kid just told them he didn't fear them.
Them!.Who stood as a distinguished awakened of the sage rank were being looked down by a mere origin awakened who seem to not know his place.This truly made them angry.
"We'll see how you act when you are expelled kid".
"Expelled...it's truly pathetic how you guys can see what's truly happening yet take no action but once I enter the frame I'm the only one being questioned,such a hypocritical move don't you think so... Michael".
Michael's body shot up furiously,glare of hatred and anger evident,a grey aura exploded out of his body covering the whole room in which everyone occupied.
"Michael calm down".His colleagues tried to calm his anger down but it seemed as if Arthur had tickled a spot he shouldn't have.He had enrage the supposed leader of the discipline committee.
"This brat...who do you think you are to disrespect me.A mere origin awakened,one who is considered an infant compared to me and you dare talk recklessly to you.kneel!"
With every word being uttered,his voice seemed to rise depicting how he was brimming with rage.His body seemed to dawn on Arthur, slightly making him feel like submitting to Michael,however...
[Absolute Aura activated]
An orange aura exploded from beneath his body materializing into a ghostly form of his self.It grew bigger by the second until it had reached the edge of the roof.
"Make me!".
With the appearance of the astral body, Michael's body instinctively took a step back,feeling oppressed by the aura Arthur was exuding.Even the female and the male who sat beside Michael were forced to back up a bit.
"This is insane,just who is this kid,a month ago he was just a brat with nothing sort of fancy and know he exudes such a remarkable aura only those at the top can achieve".
Absolute Aura indeed was a unique ability the system had given up for purchase.Its description was brief but after having used it occasionally Arthur understood the effects this ability held.
Using Absolute aura displays the aura of a powerful being whose physique is that of the host,with this being said the astral body was somehow just a reflection of Arthur.
And activating this ability makes whoever Arthur target feel suppressed,like a sense of fear washing into their bodies but its effect doesn't last long until the ability cancels out.
This was at least the extent to which it could perform,He felt only by channelling this ability to its fullest potential could he fully utilise it.
"I've had enough with you guys trying to stand on my freedom,I hate it when I'm being suppressed".
"But today thanks to that I've made a quicker breakthrough".
Slowly the astral body whose ghostly movement sent a sage rank stumbling back began to shrink in size, eventually disappearing.
ZZING!!!
Right in the middle of the room,a figure suddenly appeared Infront them,due the person's high speed it felt like he had teleported to that specific location.
His blonde hair,slightly shaved with a beard which seemed to compliment his hair and looks perfectly.This was but of course the academy's....
"Principal Vlad...what brings you here".
Michael's body took a firm posture assuming his once calm composure.There standing in between them and Arthur was the principal Miss Rouge had once reported Arthur to.
"First of...Arthur go wait at my office".
Arthur stared at the blonde haired man who seemed to be in his mid thirties with an indifferent look.He turned around without uttering a word leaving as he had been told.
"Now that he's gone I would like for you three to here something"
"But principal Vlad,you just can't let him leave as he pleases".
"Have you not been hearing the news lately". Principle's Vlad eyebrows furrowed up, depicting a look of confusion as he casually threw a question at them.
"No not really".
"You know I'm not that type".
"Wait, Principal don't tell me it's actually true".
It seemed as though the males were oblivious to the current news that was trending but apparently the female wasn't.
"What's it,what do you know Michelle"
"That's right...that kid has been taken in by our very own Miss Jade".
When all three of them heard what had been said their heart beat skipped a beat,their calm looks suddenly lost its moisture and colour.It felt as if the world they were loving in had been dyed in black and white.
"I-it can't be,why would the war empress suddenly take a liking to this child".
"She's as cold as an ice,how could someone like her take in a personal student".
"Wait wait,so the time she came here to warn us about a kid named Arthur,was it actually this Arthur"
"Oh yes,how could we honestly have forgotten about her warning!".
"If she finds out about this we're dead".
"Don't worry,Arthur isn't the type to complain to the war empress but at least you've realized now".
"Arthur.."
"Is an untouchable kid".
