Chương 28: Dream

While the practice match was going on someone was looking from afar. "This aura, this skill, its the same as Leo... who is that? That fox mask and even Albert is here. Based on all the given evidence that man is either Leo or someone related to him." A girl with two different eye color gold and blue was lurking in the shadows. "If it is Leo then on the upcoming class tournament I shall fulfill our promise Sorry Adela but first come first serve." She giggled with delight at the unexpected encounter.

Me, Lauria, and Albert were carrying the unconscious students. By the way, Lauria was carrying Drage the largest of all, and with one hand to boot. the sun was setting. There where a lot of things that happened in just one day. While we were walking toward the infirmary a group of students led by a handsome young man who carried himself in a dignified manner spoke. "Sir Albert is it true that you became the advisor of F class 1-A?" "Hmm? Oh, it's you B class, Ren Cain. Yes, I indeed became the advisor of the F class 1-A. Now if you can be so kind as to step aside I need to send my students to the infirmary."

Albert and I were about to leave when Ren blocked our path. "Why Sir Albert why do you choose these inferior people instead of us?!" Albert smiled "Inferior? Ok, go to the arena tell the people there that Sir Albert will be using it so don't let anyone but us in. I will explain further once you get there, but first I need to bring these students to the infirmary." They looked upset but they did as Albert ordered.

After Albert, Lauria, and I placed my classmates in the infirmary we returned to the arena. The group of students from a while ago where waiting for us. "So you think the students of F class are inferior to you? And you want me to be your advisor is that right? Ren answered, "Yes that is right." Albert smirked and pointed at me.

"This is my nephew Gabriel Wolfstein. If you manage to beat him then I promise I will be your advisor. How does that sound?" Another troublesome event well if its a battle it doesn't seem to be too bad? All the B class student gathered looked at me. They were holding back their laughter. "So its a one on one right?" Ren asked seemingly amused. "Ah no, it won't be its all of you against him. If we don't do that it would be unfair." Their laughter was silenced and they looked at me seriously.

"Surely you must be joking. Even if he is your nephew how can an F class brat beat one of us much less all of us." "Wrong, wrong, wrong it's not a joke and the correct statement is how can a bunch of B class students even scratch my nephew." They glared at me even more. "Hey, uncle can you stop that, please. I think they really hate me right now." "It doesn't matter just finish them quickly so that we can go to sleep I'm kinda tired."

Why does it seem Albert is getting more selfish. "Sir Albert! Even if it's from you we won't take this insult so lightly." "Come on now Gabriel give them an instant kill." Wait isn't this just a repeat of awhile ago. How many times must I repeat this? I sighed is he going to keep doing this until everyone knows my strength? This isn't really helping me know who I truly am it just confirms that I love to battle and that's all. While I was thinking a voice of a girl could be heard. "Albert how much more do you need to do to satisfy yourself?"

A girl with flowing long silver hair and her eyes displayed two different eye colors. She was beautiful like a doll that came to life. She was descending from above like an angel she smiled. "Nice to meet you Gabriel Wolfstein, I' am Evangeline wingled." The girl upon announcing her name all the B class students knelt. "Lady Evangeline what brings you here?" Ren who was all arrogant awhile ago displayed absolute respect and admiration.

"I have nothing to tell you? If you mind I have important business to talk about with these two Wolfstein's." She answered with a smile, even though what she said was very condescending her tone of voice was full of elegance that didn't match what she just said. Ren looked like he was biting his lower lip "Of course will leave lady Evangeline. Come on guys lets go."

As they where leaving the arena Ren looked at me he glared for a moment before leaving. "So Albert this is Leo right." Evangeline who was pointing at me was smiling cheerfully. Albert simply smirked "What are you talking about Eva? I already told everyone this kid here is my nephew Gabriel, not Leo. Please don't put your girlish fantasies and reality together." "Oh really then you wouldn't mind if I take off the mask to see his face?" "Of course I'm fine with that if your fine with killing my nephew then you can take off the mask." What! killing me removing this mask will kill me. Evangeline stared at Albert "What do you mean Albert?"

"Well, my nephew here was cursed by a woman. He once rejected a very troublesome woman. She knowing how strong my nephew is found another way to hurt him. She used this mask to kill him. He can't remove it if he does he will die. Of course, I did everything in my power to save him but the most I could do was allow him to raise the mask a little so he could eat aside from that he can't move it any further or he dies."

What the hell is Albert saying?!! That's all lies! So it was all made up thank goodness. But why is he hiding my identity from this girl? The girl looked at me then at Albert "very well Albert I'll believe you for now. See you, Gabriel, I shall uncover the truth sooner or later."

With a click of her fingers, she disappeared. Albert smiled that his little prank succeeded "So Uncle why were you lying to that girl?"

"Well I always have fun opposing her and we can't have many people know what you look like."

"Why is that?"

"Well, its to avoid future complications and its also insurance. Let's say everyone knows of your strength it would be difficult to move around but the only people that know your actual face is me and the F class student of 1-A. So when the time comes we can use their lack of knowledge on what you look like as an advantage like spying and such. Also, the most important part is because its fun."

Albert started laughing. I shrugged because its fun huh. I looked at Lauria who was silent the whole time. She looked at me I wonder what she thinks of this. I think nothing of it master. "What the hell! Lauria, did you just speak in my mind?" "Yes, master I did." "How?" "We are connected by our contract your thoughts are connected to mine." Seriously what's with that so I have zero privacy? "If you want master I could stop reading them?" I thought for awhile and then answered: "Nah it's alright this is useful in case of an emergency."

I and Lauria returned to the dorm it was empty. So no one returned yet maybe I really did overdo it. I'll just apologize tomorrow.

I was dreaming I'm sure of it cause I' am standing right here yet I see another me fighting. The other me was holding two majestic one-handed swords. One was pure black and the other was pure blue. The other me was smiling as he faced different opponents, he even faced an army he was losing sometimes he was in a tight spot but nonetheless, he kept smiling fearlessly. Then I heard voices of different people whispering

"You are the one who loved and cherished battle."

"The greater the odds the more fun it is right?"

"Will you always move forward?"

"If it's you I believe even the sky can be cut."

"Hey... Can I-... still go on an... Adventure with everyone?"

"You really are death incarnate. Really such a monster. It was fun fighting you."

"I leave her in your hands, promise me you'll protect her with all your might."

"Its been fun going to all those places, meeting all those people, fighting side by side. I'm truly grateful that I have met you. I have no regrets if we meet again in our next lives please take me on another adventure."

"Hey, I got your back our tale won't end like this right?"

"So let's go on, you still haven't fulfilled the promise to find me a new home."

"I'll do it you are my precious nephew after all."

"So this is where my life ends, but if it's in the hands of the man I love then I am truly happy."

"If it's you and me, this little army can't harm us am I right partner!"

"Show it to me all your strength and courage. All your wisdom and knowledge. Show it all to me!"

"If its master, nothing is impossible." Voices of hatred, love, passion, regret, fulfillment, and courage were said. Some of the voices where familiar. Clarabell, Richard, Albert, and that girl Evangeline, even Lauria's voice resounded.

†

"Ster, master, master, wake up." I heard Lauria's voice I gently opened my eyes and saw Lauria looking at me worried. "Master are you fine? It seems like you were having a nightmare." I stroke Lauria's head "Yeah I' am alright that was no nightmare it simply a dream."
