Chapter XII
-…So, that's how I got here. You can define me as an assassin, yes…. , finished Emma.
-In the end, we have the same story in some way. , said Simon.
-What do you mean? , said Emma.
-Well, you know, that the White Fang completely screwed our past and killed our parents in some way. , explained Simon.
-But, your mother is still alive, doesn't it? , asked Emma.
-''sigh'' She's dead for me. Someone who can't control itself is not considered alive in my opinion. , said Simon.
-But, what if there is a cure? , said Emma.
-A cure for a drug that they used for over ten years, I don't think that's possible. , said Simon, depressed.
-Maybe you are right…
Suddenly, a voice from the speakers was heard in the room.
-Simon Seablue is asked to come in the secretary offices.
-I guess that's for what I did to Cardin. I will be coming back in maybe an hour. , said Simon.
-I'll come with you this time. , said Emma.
-Ok. , said Simon, surprised by her decision.
When they arrived in the offices, Glynda Goodwitch was waiting for them at the door.
-M. Seablue, could you please enter my office, we need to talk. , said Glynda.
-Can I bring her with me? , said Simon.
-If you want so. , said Glynda, as she entered her office.
When they arrived in her office, she asked to the two to take a seat on two chairs.
-Simon, could you please tell me why you almost killed M. Cardin Winchester at today's practice? You are normally calm in class and you are doing the most you can do to maintain your position of leader of team SEAT, I personally never saw you like this in combat. , questioned Glynda.
-I just wanted to defend my teammate at first, but Cardin had defied me to a duel, so I suppose I got a little bit angry on this side. But you surely know who my father is, so I don't think I have to explain what happened at the end of the fight. I am truly sorry for Cardin, really, but I don't think he and his team should act like this to the Faunas. , said Simon.
-He's right, Cardin even tried to cheat in the fight by bringing his teammates in the arena. , protested Emma.
-Hmm. I suppose that the intimidation that M. Winchester did to Ms. Scarlatina was the source of this problem. May I suggest that you should practice your Aura even more? Your father was a Berserker after all, you should do it for him. , said Glynda.
-Understood, professor Goodwitch. , said Simon.
-Also, could you please try not to kill other students during practices and tournaments? I verified the stats of M. Winchester after the fight and he was almost on the brink of death. , said Glynda.
-I will try to, don't worry. , said Simon.
-Perfect. You can go now. , said Glynda.
The two got out of the office and returned to their restroom. While they were walking, they felt surprised by the little conference that was put in.
-I was thinking I would have had something more severe after doing what I did. , said Simon.
-Well, at least she did not decided to kick you out of the school. , said Emma.
-That's actually a good sign, it maybe means that she trusts me for my leadership. , said Simon.
-You are indeed a great leader, Simon. , said Emma, smiling.
Simon was happy about how the little rendezvous between him and Glynda Goodwitch happened. He didn't knew that she had trust in him at this point. But, she probably knows every student in this school, so that doesn't surprises him that much.
When they arrived to their chambers, Anna and Tyler were already there.
-The champion finally arrives! So, what did Glynda did to you for punishing you? , said Tyler.
-She pretty much did nothing, she just warned me to not do this on students again and to practice a bit more. , said Simon.
-You're so lucky. If it were me, I would had have to do at least double the homework professor Port are giving to us. , said Tyler.
Anna was looking at herself by the mirror, to see if nothing had appeared on her since the day she entered Beacon. She found out there were cat ears that were slowly appearing on her head.
-Oh, not this again! , whispered Anna.
-Anna, is there something wrong? , asked Emma.
-Oh, err…its nothing! , said Anna.
-You know that we can see your cat ears growing, right? , said Tyler.
-''sigh'' Yes, they began to appear from a week now…, said Anna, returning herself.
-Don't worry about it, you don't really have to hide them anymore since what happened in the cafeteria. , said Simon.
-I know, but I am still worried about how people will think of me like this. , said Anna.
-I don't think team CRDL will do anything now since what I did to Cardin, so you can pretty much say that they are not gonna do anything for a long while. , said Simon.
-By the way, thank you for what you did to him. Serves him right. , said Anna.
-It's my pleasure. , said Simon, smiling.
After doing the rest of their homework and waiting for the rest of the team to sleep, Simon examined the weapons of his teammates to ensure that he will have a strategy in any case on combat.
Tyler's Iron Fury was already studied a long time ago, since he knew that his weapon was a RLG, making it perfect for devastating damage. Emma's CSDPB, known as Hood, would be mostly used on armies of less powerful enemies like Beowolves, since a bow-user makes precise, but great damage and he knows that crossed swords are more meant for speed than power. Anna's BASRDBS, Moonlight, would be extremely powerful on enemies with weak spots and, since she is one of the best marksman he ever known, she wouldn't have any problem on her own during combat also because she can hit most of the enemies with a single slash.
For his strategies, he planned on rushing straight into battle, killing most of the hostiles in a blink of an eye because of his teleportation ability and his Dust spells. And, in case of an extreme danger, he will activate his berserk mode to eliminate the danger swiftly and precisely, explaining why he wanted to practice it so much.
-Hmm? What's that? , said Simon.
After planning his strategies, he noticed that there was someone outside by the window, on the fountain's statue. It was the dark figure he saw when he got out of Professor Port's class for the first time! When he took his weapon in hand, making him turn his face on the ground and returning to the window, the figure was on the roof of the school that is seen by the window, showing it right in front of it.
Something was wrong, the figure was a lady in a black coat with a bright purple eye.
-M….Mother? , said Simon.
At that moment, she disappeared completely and didn't came back.
-Ok. I think I am just hallucinating now, maybe I should go sleep too. , said Simon.
Not far from there, a little airship was seen arriving in front of the school. A men in a dark orange coat was seen getting out of it:
-Hmph. Looks like I am finally back!
