Chapter Thirty Nine: Damaging Wound
Frost's POV
Melody moved to our class... Not a good thing to start off the day... And Phase decided to stay home and plan out an efficient way to kill me painlessly... Hmm. It's so good to hear that in five day's I'll be dying!
"The holy sword Excalibur has unique characteristics and powers. It could use it's holy powers to cut through even darkness itself", Shard announced from the front of the class, pointing at a very accurate drawing of a long, broad sword made of gold on the large whiteboard. Hmm... That sword... I know for certain that the Ezarca is a lot stronger, HOWEVER, it's destroyed right now and I have no way of getting it back. Heck, not even Jace can repair the damage!... The question is have right now is, is it stronger than my Night's Melody and White's Moon's Rhythm? Gah! "However, that does not mean that it is the strongest blade to exist. It also depends on the wielder. A wooden blade armed by a skilled swordsman can overcome the powers of the Excalibur and become the rightful owner of it"...
I sighed, gazing out of the window to my left that shown the outside world as clear as a crystal, making me wonder what life was truly about... What my life meant to the world and why I was given the role of Black Heart. From the fifty first host of Drago to the successor, to the legend and then to a colour... But how do I know that this is right? The world is too big to know what's right and what's wrong... Me and White are going to have to take out the first boss whilst Jace and Star try to locate the final boss. Let's see how things turn out... Speaking about Star, I'm so fucking lucky I didn't get raped last night... Her and Melody nearly stuck it in me! Thank goodness for Phase who repelled them and scared them off!
But that's the least of my worries... I have a bad feeling about what's going to happen in the near future... About what'll happen to me... I'm not even sure if I'll make it all the way... Anyway, in a weeks time, me and White will be off to the south in search for the first boss who I'm guessing is a goblin... And if I'm correct, then I'm expecting another war to happen right after we kill it off.
"Frost Richtofen! What's the counter part of the Excalibur, seeing that you seem to know everything?", Shard snapped it at me, causing me to flinch as I scrambled on my chair, all eyes piercing my being like daggers. I blankly blinked, giving her a small smile before quickly answering her question.
"The Doombringer", Was my answer, remembering well about the comparison made with Mindy back when we fought Sindy's father.
"Good! Is there a blade stronger than it?", She asked... Of course there is! My Night's Melody!
"Night's Melody", I said aloud.
"And?". And? What does she- OH!
"Ezarca".
"Precisely! No less expected from you young swordsman!", She praised me... Hehe... She didn't have to add that. "Also, did you and your girlfriend White bring in a valid note for why you're going to be away from school for a while?", She asked... A...AHH?! What?! G...G...G...
"Huah?! White's with Frost?!", Melody exclaimed, playing along with what Shard had said as I stared blankly at the whiteboard, as shocked as hell with a cherry red face that said it all... What's worse, it that she sits directly behind me... "Now I get why you two always change together in the bathrooms!", Melody cried, acting shocked almost perfectly as I felt the hairs of my body stand up like he spikes of a hedgehog... Or in this case, the spikes of a fucking mace made of moon rock! Gah! F...Fuck! I'm even trembling!
"FROST! When the hell were you and White lovey dovey?!", Lizzo yelled from in front of me, turning around with a furious facial expression and narrowed, flaming eyes that stabbed my heart like knives... Argh! I'm going to die! Is this the punishment for not paying attention in class?!...
All went silent for a brief moment, allowing me to regain my composure very slowly as everyone looked back to the front, Melody and the others but White smiling and laughing to my downfall... Dammit... This is probably my punishment for killing them all in that dream realm thingy last night!... Just as Shard began to write on the whiteboard again, Melody said something so frightening, that I fainted almost immediately... Well... Sorta. It was more like a brain implosion... Except I was still FUCKING alive!
"White, how long did Frost last with you? Was he too rough on you for your first time?"...
"WHAT?!", Almost everyone yelled and turned to me as I lost my power and collapsed onto my desk face first... What the fuck is happening...
"Pop goes White's Che-ery!", Star sang... I...T...This is the end of me, Frost Richtofen... Dad... Mom... I'm sorry for being a disappointment... No, actually, you two should be a disappointment as parents! Wait, why am I bringing his up? "The lovers on the bed go squeak squeak squeak"... AHHHHHHHH "All night long"... Goodbye, oh cruel world...
White's POV
How embarrassing... I felt like dying on the spot... But for some reason I didn't mind it at the back of my mind... Frost... I wonder if he feels the same about me... Maybe he's still too attached to Mindy... If so, then I have to prove to him that I am Mindy. Frost is the most amazing person I've ever met and I don't want him to disappear from my life... Hmm... Grr... He told me to meet up with him after school at a jewellery store just in front of the shopping centre. Only right around the corner to the right and I'll be there!
Just as I turned the corner, my eyes widened in pure shock and horror to see seven men, all armed with guns and wearing black clothing march straight into the store by storm... I couldn't see anything else from here, except for the extremely horrified citizens who witnessed the invasion, all pulling their phones out like knives... A robbery?
Hehe, then I guess it's my time to shine!
Sino's POV
Three hundred metres. I can make the shot. Simple. I've never missed a bullet in my entire life... All I have to do is keep the marker just on his head aaannnddd. BOOM! My light grey, trusty sniper rifle smashed itself onto my right shoulder as I lay prone on the could stone roof of the third highest building in the entire city. The shopping centre. Down below, directly in front of me inside of a jewellery store were seven armed bandits who held the place on lock down, keeping a good twenty hostages kept inside all tied up in ropes. A small cloud of smoke fired out from the silenced, one metre barrel of my gun as a green bullet was projected towards where I had my black 'X' shaped marker in the lens of my scope. However, it wasn't the head I was aiming to shoot...
I shot the black shades he wore horizontally, just missing his flesh as my bullet collided with one of the large, black leather bags of he stolen jewellery, causing a major outburst of gems to erupt. They panicked, especially the one that just lost their glasses as two scrambled to pick up the jewels whilst the others held their assault rifles at the innocent hostages...
I clicked my tongue against my front teeth, taking in a quick breath of air before blinking and closing my left eye again, staring through the steady scope with my right. Magic is an amazing thing. It allows me to zoom in and out with just the thought!
I did so, zooming out to see a mass amount of pedestrians outside all either holding their phones to their ears or recording the scenario... I don't want any interruptions whatsoever. I better take em out with an EMP- wait... Is that who I think it is? I zoomed in to the left side of the crowd, seeing a boy with black hair ravage through the crowd with a girl with beautifully long white hair... Hehe. I guess I'll give them the screen time and buy them some!
"EMP out!", I called, zooming my marker to the middle of the crowd before pulling the trigger harshly with my right index finger, causing me to flinch from the force of the powerful recoil of my gun... Mid flight, the bullet exploded and released a shower of electromagnetic pulses that disabled all of their phones permanently, leaving behind no evidence nor any ability to contact outside help whatsoever. Haha! Let's see how well they can do!
Frost's POV
I grit my teeth, narrowing my eyes slightly as White thrusted her right fist into the gut of one of the men, causing him to cough in pure pain and agony before taking a step back followed by White sending a side kick to the man's right side. He flew to a nearby glass shelf, shattering it entirely as I took on two guys who were armed with blades. Their guns were decoys. Models used to scare these poor innocent people to death, but those knives are very real. Back to back me and White were, surrounded by the remaining six men. Their height was about three inches above us, giving them an intimidating look especially with the all black costumes they wore all over their bodies including their hands to make sure that no evidence gets left behind.
The hostages panicked, trembling in fear as they knew very well that after they're done with us, they'll be next. Haha! I laugh to that! I won't be losing to something like this!
"Do you two want to get stabbed?! You'll pay for that!", The one directly in front of me spat, making me smile warmly as a girl shrieked to my far right in fear, not wanting to see my blood splatter against the yellow concrete walls and the red, royal-like carpets.
"Provoke them. They'll enrage and act reckless", White whispered to me the plan as we pressed out backs together with some pressure, feeling each other's warmth which gave us both the confidence to stand up against these men. Hehe, let's have some fun! "And remember, no magic".
"What are you muttering about kid?!", One man from behind snapped.
"Call us kids again, and I'll make turn you into a fucking kid!", I stated with a chuckle,
taking a step forward with both my hands clenched into balls of capital H for hurt, ready to act as the one to my left also took a step forward, spinning his light red, colourful curved knife that looked like a slightly larger version of a karambit... One of the sharpest and deadliest knives in Thurman world and the best looking in my eyes. I have an idea.
"What he fuck did you say 'KID'?!", The one from behind snapped it at me, making my blood flow like lava as excitement got the better of me... Haha! Let's do this!
"Are you deaf?! Just like your blind butt-buddies surrounding us who don't seem to realise that the police are outside?!", I yelled, turning my head around slightly to just watch him charge up towards White viciously, shaking the ground we stood on vividly before loud footsteps approached from my left, causing me to snap my attention towards it. "KILL THEM!".
"Now!", White announced and at once, I watched the man send a horizontal slash for my head with his karambit, only to miss terribly as I ducked and stood back up immediately sending a powerful punch to the centre of his body mass with my right hand. He flew back a good two metres, dropping his blade to the right of me on the floor as he smashed into a glass box containing golden rings that looked like they costed a fortune.
"You brat!", The two men directly in front of me spat, both charging at me head on with their long bayonet knives stained with black spots to look both fancy and intimidating. Those things are useless against me! If I can stop bullets, then these are a piece of fucking cake! "Fucking die!".
Haha! Let's do this! As fast as possible, the moment a it caught a glimpse of light shine from their metal, black-stained blades, I crouched down, swiping the karambit from the ground with my right hand like lightning, looking like a blur in their eyes before I lunged back up to my feet straight towards them. I held the karambit like how you're supposed to. A reverse grip with your index finger ready to hook into the loop at the base of the curved, tiger clawed blade painted in fresh light red. It glistened and shown like the eyes of Lizzo, making me smile as I watched the man to the slightest left send an open slash head level, exposing his entire body to me which made it too easy for me to perform a takedown. Clenching the blade as hard as possible, I sent my left hand straight towards his wide opened elbow, blocking his attack entirely as his arm contracted to the sudden force on his joint, allowing me to cleanly move in and slash his stomach as soft as possible, knowing very well how sharp this blade was. It went from right to left, followed by me going under his right, contracted arm, turning around to face the back of him before just seeing his friend attempt to send a deathly stab to my chest.
As fast as possible, I wrapped my right arm around the wounded man's neck and pulled him onto me like a hostage, resulting in his friend to accidentally stab him in the right shoulder, causing a major outburst of blood to spray out for a good three seconds onto the attacker's face... Now! Dropping the man to the side, I charged in and sent a devastating head-butt that nearly broke his cranium like a glass jar... Unconsciously, he fell to the ground like last weeks laundry, unmoving and wrinkled up in a heap...
"That's all of them", White sighed from behind me as I turned around to face her, suddenly shocked to see a large slash wound across her bloodied stomach that shown a small portion of her intestines... "Don't worry about me, Frost. I'm alright!", She claimed... If she says so... Gah! Oh right, we need to free the hostages!
I turned around once again, facing the surprised faces of the innocent people who held smiled plastered across their amazing faces, unable to thank us in mere words. Slowly, I approached them, blinking once with a small smile as I stared at the person all the way to the left... Just as I was a metre away and ready to crouch, I heard glass shatter along with a loud thud emit followed by everyone's gasps that filled the air eerily, causing me to turn around in pure shock and terror to see White on the ground... Huh?! What happened to her?!
"Ack! My thigh!", She cried, pulling out a large shard of crystal clear glass out of her right thigh horizontally to the left, cringing in pure pain as she helplessly looked up at me with a teary, pitiful face... "Sorry Frost. I tripped over one of the guns and landed on one of the glass boxes"... I'll free the hostages first, then prioritise my time on her until she heals fully... But knowing White, I don't think she's prone to tripping over that easily... Actually... I think she's really prone to tripping over at certain times... Hmm! Why the heck am I so worried about her?!
Jace's POV
This is bad. Really bad. We're stuck in a rock and a hard place as of now... If Frost even looks at that creature, then it'll be war. Literally... And I have a hunch that it's trying to lure both White and Frost in somehow... Either way, war is inevitable and we'll have to deal with it head on... Me and Star have a one hell of a burden resting on our shoulders... We can't afford to make if heavier.
White's POV
"How are you feeling? Good? Tired? Hungry?", Frost slowly asked me from my right as I lay on my bed inside of my own winter white room that bared simple things. Two large windows, a small wooden table with two chairs to the far right, my bed to the far left, a closet beside the table, my white sofa just to the left of the bed and finally a brown, wooden desk to the far right where I did a lot of my drawing and writing at.
"Don't ask her so many question Frost. I bet she wants you to leave", Phase growled at him.
"You're one to talk. Just how many questions did YOU ask her not two minutes ago?", Frost immediately replied from my left, shifting a little closer to me as Phase hovered above me like a spirit... Hehe.
"Hey! You must really want me to kill you in the most painful way!", She snapped, making me smile and chuckle as I slowly looked to my left to see Frost staring up at her with an annoyed look to his face, gritting his teeth very slightly.
"Try it. Let's see if you have the guts to do it".
"Are you making fun of me?! Just because I'm a spirit, DOES NOT mean that I don't have any organs!", She snapped...
"Stop taking things the wrong way Phase... And trying to make White laugh like this is cringing", Frost sighed, shaking his head before looking down at me with his light blue and light red, glistening eyes that drilled into my blood red ones deeply... I flushed a slight red, feeling my heart beat increase all of a sudden as my blood warmed up... "Are you hungry?", He asked me... I gave him a slow nod. "Then I'll go make you something. Phase, try to keep her entertained".
"Don't treat me like a maid!"... Why's Frost being so kind to me all of a sudden?... And... Argh! What... My right leg! AHH!
"White. D...don't move your legs. They're still healing", Frost quickly said with worry, slowly shifting himself off the bed, causing it to squeak in pain before the wooden floorboards screamed at him to the sudden stress of his additional weight... I wonder what's gotten into him...
