PROLOGUE

It was half past midnight, the warm breeze of the upcoming summer blew passed them making his black locks dance along with the falling leaves of the nearby oak trees covering a secluded area in the middle of the forbidden forest.

Carried by his cool arrogance and sadistic killing aura, he towered a small frame that was currently lying down on the dried-leaves covered earth, clutching her mid-section, trying to suppress thousands of painful stimulus.

Looking at the pitiful figure, if he was a man of mercy, he would surely be running towards the infirmary while carrying the fragile body. But too bad, he was a warm blooded mammal who's emotions had been long forgotten; hidden beyond his black attire and white mask, so there was no way he would be doing such anytime soon.

"This session is done." He said in no one in particular, but then as if on cue, two overwhelming aura suddenly vanished making the pressure around the place drop on such a high speed.

"After you're done rolling and pinning the powerless leaves around, you could take your rest." He said directing the small figure who was amusing him by not making a single sound while suffering in a most painful way possible.

He heard her grunted as a reply making him wonder if the academy's cold assassin on the making was finally toning herself preservation or she's just in too much pain that she couldn't even utter a word aside from 'Hn.'

"I don't care if anyone sees you." He said before bending down examining the now still figure before him. "It would be better if you go to the hospital first but since it is your decision to be discreet, I suggest that you immediately go back to your freaking room before you doze off."

"Hai." She answered before pleating all the power she could summon. He could see how exhausted she already was. Her head hanged on her neck making it look like it was too heavy for her, her arms lounging on her sides and her knees seemed to be trembling due to lack of energy but still he found himself face to face with a presence who's self determination was oozing out of her body.

Not intending to watch her stumble and fall along the way, Persona vanished in thin air, making it look like he had resigned himself somewhere else for his new apprentice. Lowering his aura, until it was stealthily hidden, he watched her walked silently along the woods, turning to another route, avoiding a certain place at the entrance of the Northern Forest.

"You're still trying to act tough, my precious little kitten." He amusedly thought while figuring where his other favorite kitten was as of that moment.
