Gia wondered if he had come to their department to see her.

Adjusting her messy black bun, she straightened her back, pretending to be looking out the window.

Nix's eyes finally caught someone of interest, a smile finally made its way to his lips.

[Bond identified]

'Wouldn't change a thing!' He said in thought, pleased with the result.

Gia's heart began to thump louder, it was becoming harder to pretend not to look his way as he made an advancement in her direction.

When she had felt it was time to respond to his advance with a greeting.

"Good day, I d–" swallowing her words immediately, she was in a state of shock and disappointment when he passed by her without sparing her as much as a glance her way.

"Lank!" Nix pulled up a seat, a grin on his face as he sat close to the male who had been distracted the whole time.

p "W- when did you get here? How did you find me?" He nervously asked, unsure why he was sitting close to him.

"Are you trying to hide from me?" He threw his hand around the shoulder of Lank, pulling him closer to himself. "I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

Lank felt a chill run down his spine at the action. The aura he was seething off wasn't in sync with his facial expression.

His palms began to feel sweaty, wondering if he came for a payback for not listening when he had told the rest of the students to attack the statue. He had felt a sense of guilt about what had happened then, affiliating it with his actions.

'Could it be he wanted to warn me personally?' He gulped.

"What the hell are you thinking?" He pulled on his cheek playfully.

Lank froze in place at the warm affection from this monstrosity in the form of a human was doing to him. Recovering from the initial shock, he shrugged his hand off. "I don't go around bullying people anymore, so why are you here?"

Gia's body trembled at the scene she had witnessed, he had completely ignored her because of Lank?

The whispers spread by the other students turned on her. They began to tell that they were wrong about their relationship. It was also clear to everyone that Nix barely knew her to acknowledge her.

Feeling utterly humiliated, she stormed out the door.

Slam!

Looking over to where the noise had been made, he could see a female walk by in anger. This only reminded him of the time pretty face had walked out the door when he was first introduced to the general class.

'That's the female that summoned me to Zoar!" Nix's eyes widened. He wondered why he had failed to recognise her earlier. Then again, he probably hadn't because she had been in a different section and personality that day.

His brows furrowed at the familiarity of the setting, yet he did know he had much more important things to think about and right now his mission was a priority.

Nix sighed at how difficult it is to complete this mission with Lank's attitude. He made it seem that he had come with bad intentions.

"Did you really think I came here to do something as petty as that." He retorted in a whisper.

Stunned by the answer, Lank was still unsure what to believe. He had always liked to get the attention from his mates, but being with Nix didn't seem to add well with him.

Looking around, he suddenly felt embarrassed that he had spoken so casually, he had forgotten the others were still watching and whispering to one another. He had intentionally blocked out their words from his mind. Only when he had activated his heightened hearing, did he instantly regret what he had heard.

"You would dare?!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, shooting a deadly glare at a male who had just whispered to his counterpart.

The male was shorter than Lank and he had spiky black hair and a tattoo on his arm that read "Chant". He had a sly smile plastered on his face, a clear disregard for what had just happened. He didn't even show any remorse. It was as if he was used to doing this and was quite satisfied with his actions.

Slapping his fingers on the tabletop, he immediately jumped onto the table and leapt, pushing the male down and hard onto the floor." The male began to struggle to get back onto his feet. And as he did, he got caught in a leg trap he failed to notice.

"Remember, we can't attack one another under such circumstances!" The male hissed at him quietly, trying to get away from the leg trap.

Lank's clenched fist was raised at the male, ready to strike at his cheek at any moment. His canine teeth only lengthened as the male still had a sly smile present . His eyes dared him to make the first move.

"What did you just say earlier?" He asked with a growl, his red eyes began to glow coldly. He held the male by the collar, gradually tightening his grip with each passing second.

'Didn't he just say that he doesn't bully people anymore?' Nix deadpanned as he watched the scene with interest. He could tell whatever had made Lank react in such a violent manner was because of what the male below him had said.

'So you also have heightened hearing?' Nix thought to himself in amusement as he looked at Lank.

"You little–" he was interrupted by the sound of a loud yell from behind him. Turning around, he could see in Nix's palm was a floating blue flame as his eyes gleamed coldly as he looked down at Lank.

"But he said–" Lank began to protest at the attention directed at him instead of the male below him.

"This isn't how to deal with trash." He reminded, "I have told you that there are other ways to deal with the problem." He shifted his attention towards the male below who began to tremble in fear as he felt the energy emanating from him. It was as though his skin crawled, his eyes began to bulge out and his hair suddenly stood on end.
