Metanoia; The Hybrid
CHAPTER 13: A SIMPLE QUARTER.

It had been three days since I was lying in the Academy hospital, and I was finally able to take another lesson. Mr. Chairoz said my condition was better, but I had to take care of myself.

"How come, hurry!"

I'm out of the dorm. In the gathering room, the other disciples had already gathered. Chlea said, this morning we were going to the Odile river, where the Mermaid clan usually practice. He said we'd take a shower there.

"You shouldn't be late."

A saga? You should have woken me up.

"If I wake up, you'll only have a heart attack."

Why that?

"It was just a joke, hahaha."

You pissed me off.

"I've never seen you upset."

I didn't show it.

"How come there's something on your head?" Selena asked when I arrived, standing among the other disciples. Apparently, not only from my clan, but to the other six clans.

"Yes, there's something in my head, and it pisses me off" I said honestly.

"But you don't look upset."

"I don't show it color."

"Oh yeah, how's your condition?" Connect Selena.

"I don't know, I think, it's good."

"No, no, no. As the teacher said, we should all keep our distance from Gara. After all you are still sick, go inside and rest" said Ezekiel Astred, mistaking the Wizard clan members, while making a distance between the other students and me, and pointing towards the stairs.

"I'm doing fine. Even if I have to keep my distance, but let me come" I said.

"Hey, listen. We don't know what kind of disease it is and we don't want it to get worse. Indeed, for you you're fine. But for us, you're not okay. According to him" explains Radian Niccolo, one of the Vampire clan.

"I don't want to sound stubborn, but let me come along. If I start getting sick again, I'll go back to the dorm."

But, Ezekiel and Radian just looked at me seriously. They didn't even consider my words.

"Oh come on," Xavier approached and embraced Ezekiel and Radian simultaneously, "What is there to fear?"

Radian shook Xavier's hand, "You don't know what you're asking."

"I know, I know very well what I'm asking. I mean, look, I'm embracing Gara and I don't have her disease. I don't have a fever, my stomach doesn't hurt. You guys see too much on one side" said Xavier approaching me and embracing me tightly.

"Are you stupid?" Ezekiel LEDek.

"No. But I assure you, Gara will be fine" Xavier said in a serious tone.

"How about it, come on or not?" Radian asked the other students. They only agreed but there was doubt in their words. I know I should have stayed, but I didn't want to.

"Let Gara come along, I'll be in charge. Me and I also had something to talk about" Edward suddenly came from among the other students. His gaze was headed towards me.

"You sure Ed?" Ask Ezekiel.

"I'm sure. Hurry up, don't waste time."

Edward's words were accepted by Ezekiel and Radian. They let me come. Of course, without having to be repeated, I will still make a distance on them.

This is not a disease, only those who do not know. But that way, I won't harm them, if one day my predatory lust arises. And I was standing at the very back with a little distance. Just like that, until Edward came up to me and joined me.

"I don't care, but what is your true condition?" Edward asked in his attention.

"I'm good, really."

"Don't lie."

"No."

"Talking about your Hybrid nature, my Lycanthrope trait came up this morning" Edward said.

I turned to look at him, "You remember your first prey?"

"Of course, a sparrow on my window. I thought I'd end up like you. He was hungry, and wild. Oh yeah, that's because we're different" Edward explained.

I didn't see him again, refocused on deoan, listened to the people talking. What does it mean to say that?

"From the beginning I didn't like the boy. But he's not wrong, we're different from everyone else. The beginning of the appearance of ordinary Lycanthrope is the transformation of the form into a wolf."

Edward did?

"Yes, you should be able to feel something new about her."

I glanced at Edward, and right. His aura was stronger than Edward before. I don't know why, I don't like it a little.

"I'm transformed, guess my real name" Edward said.

"You gave him a name, not me."

"I didn't do that" argued Edward.

"What do you mean?"

"Wolf has its own name. I don't have to name them like pets anymore"

Is that true?

"Of course, we have our own names."

Why don't you tell me your name?

"For what?"

So that I don't give you a name.

"What's wrong with that, you get carried away by the feeling of hearing his words?"

Nope. I don't want anyone else to consider you a pet.

"I appreciate that, but you better not know my real name. You have to find out for yourself."

Damnit.

"For help. The wolf's name is Rakas."

Can other wolves know your name too?

"Good, we're hybrids. I'm the only wolf who can know the details of other wolves. And I decide whether other wolves know me or not."

"I want to guess, but I don't want to ruin your high mood" I said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"Name, Rakas?"

And it made Edward finally look at me with a surprised look. "You're sure that's a guess?"

"Why am I wrong? All right, let me guess one more time"

"You're right, ok. His name is Rakas."

"Teacher said, in order not to take a long time, I made two groups. Group of boys and girl groups. The boys' group will transport water. Girls will do the laundry" suggested Lilac Betroven, a member of the Vampire clan.

"Uh, I think your idea is very hard to do. There are forty-two children and we are only seven girls who will wash that many clothes?" Titania Adeleide, member of the Wizard clan.

I drew closer to Chlea and whispered, "Washing?"

"I forgot to say, the aqueduct at the Academy is being blocked. So our clothes can't be done by artisan fairies. We have to wash ourselves until the line is repaired, and transport water for Academy purposes" Chlea replied.

"If it wasn't for the Academy's sake, we could use the pool inside our magic room" Jack recalls.

"We're girls, but the size of many of those clothes is not on par with our numbers. We're still kids. You boys too" Olya Almaturova also spoke, she was a member of the Demon clan.

"We boys did a heavier job, we transported water that was very far away and had to be turned back and forth. Whereas you guys just stay put" Esther Marama of the Mermaid clan followed up arguing.

"But we still can't afford it" Cassandra helped.

"Ah, not exciting. Our daughter is weak" Jack said blatantly.

Selena looked at Jack and asked, "What are you saying, Jack?"

"You're weak. Just can't. You guys are girls. You guys should be able to handle something so easy. You just don't want to get a little tired, that's all" Jack made things worse. Look at the faces of the girls. He makes them sad.

"What are you gonna do, Gara?"

Me? I won't interfere in a complicated business from the beginning.

"I thought you were learning to be an adult."

Adults do not interfere in the affairs of others.

"But they helped to finish it, and became a wise man. Different from interfering in the affairs of others whose nature even makes matters worse."

"Well, you're right. We're weak. Come friends. Prepare your dirty clothes, we will wash them until you will not be able to see them become very clean shiny" Selena and other girls walk first to get to the front of the field.

"I thought, you're a little rude" and Chlea finally raised her voice.

"You think I'm rude? I just get them excited. Come on, we're going there too" so is Jack going, followed by the other kids.

"Wow, dramatic" said Edward as he walked with me following the other boy.

Upon arrival, we had to wait for Mr. Chairoz and other clan teachers. Then, Dylan walked up to me and gave me a bucket to transport water.

"You sure it's better?" Ask.

I nodded, "Yes."

"Huft, you're my sister, so don't worry me. If you feel anything, go back to the dorm" Dylan said.

"Don't call me your brother here, shameful" I said, looking the other way, where I saw Mr. Chairoz and someone foreign to him came to us. I think he's a man named Abraham Major. Ahh, he's from the Wizard clan. No wonder he became a healer. Or maybe he was the teacher of the Wizard clan?

"Good morning to the kids" MeMr said. Chairoz when it arrived, and was greeted by the others with a good morning greeting as well.

"Like we won't wait for the other teachers, they're taking care of something. Then, we go to the sorgha of Odile!"

Mr. Chairoz and Mr. Abraham led the journey. Directions to the left of the field. We walked on a path in the middle of the forest. Unlike last night, this forest is truly alive. My feelings or is he guiding us?

"How come there's something on your mind?" Piers' voice almost surprised me. Look at the fairy beside me, in this atmosphere, sunlight began to appear in the crevices of the leaves and hit the face of Piers.

"There was. I wonder, why do all the men from the Fairy clan have such beautiful faces?"

Piers was surprised by the embarrassed face, then laughed, "You and your thoughts are!"

I raise one eyebrow, "Is there something wrong? I mean, look at you, and the other men from the Fairy clan. You guys have such pretty faces."

Piers smiled as he pushed the strands of shoulder-length hair behind his ears, "Thank you."

"And your hair looks like my brother's. She has shoulder-length hair too" I said.

"Oh really?! What's name?" Ask Piers.

"Allegro."

Piers rounded his mouth a third of an o, then Iris continued, "Your sister's name is like the tempo name of music."

"really?" I rarely even listen to music, because the Northcliff family doesn't like noise.

"Yes! Some people born with beautiful voices in the Mermaid clan are called Sirens. A Siren even just by singing can hypnotize the humans" explained Iris spirit.

Xavier, who was in front of us, finally walked slowly to get close, "Then, are you a Siren?" Ask Iris.

"No, but my mother was a Siren. After all, a Siren is a woman!"

"Maha."

Xavier laughed, making Dylan say, "I don't like music, but what's the name of the tempo you mean?"

"I don't know much, just Moderato, Allegro, and Presto. I don't know what the tempo is either" Iris said.

Luca and Castiel also joined, "What's the matter?" Ask Luca curiously.

"Initially Piers' hair, up to the tempo names of music" I replied.

"Oh, we better talk about girls. I didn't make a sound, but Cassa refused to walk with me now" Castiel said, looking back, as she and the others turned, and the girls walked along.

"You like Cassa, don't you?" Dylan asked, narrowing his eyes, suspicious.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing."

"Nobody's talking between us. Only those who could not think and some of the others" Luca grumbled as he kicked a rock on the ground.

"How do I make the mood better? It feels like the atmosphere here is choking me." Ask Xavier.

"Don't do anything first. Until the two of them looked at each other more deeply, then it could all be fixed" I said suddenly.

"You mean until the boys and girls understand each other?" Dylan made it clear.

"Yes, we're just looking at it until it happens"

"Woah, the nobles are gathering. What are you guys talking about?" Edward joined suddenly, walking upside down in front of me.

"It's none of your business" said Xavier annoyed.

Edward just smiled and put his bucket in his head as a hat, "Oh come on. You're not very cool."

"Just talk about the situation now" Iris said, hinting at the boy in the group in front of us and the girl behind us.

"Oh, that's the problem."

Edward just walked with us. But then I felt something. He lit his eyes, and just then the others gasped with their eyes fixed on Edward. When will he stop showing himself off?

"your aura? Quickly it smelled very bad" led Xavier with a look of dislike fixed on Edward.

"When you were intimidated earlier, hahaha."

"Just like that are you arrogant?" Luca spoke up.

"Not that I mean arrogant, but among the Lycanthrope clan here no one has an aura like me" he said again.

"I know the nature of your Lycanthrope just showed up this morning," I looked at Dylan with his eyes also lit up, of course I know, the Vampire clan has the ability to see someone's past.

"Indeed the others don't have a very clear and powerful aura like you. But you don't know who you're walking in front of."

I saw Edward again, and so did he. But I didn't do anything.

"Vampire likes to peek, am I right?" Edward said with laughter.

"When you were about to die just because you felt a little bit of Gara's aura, back then" Dylan continued to stare at Edward. And his words made Edward fall silent while looking at me again.

"Wait, the aura in the forest at that time. Is that yours, Gara?" I heard something different in my head. That's not the sound of Saga. But it was Edward. He just stayed in front of me, but why did I hear that?

"You can read his mind."

Saga, is that true?

"Yes. I told you, everything will change from now on. Slowly you'll grow."

"I think I was wrong. I saw you back then, and I felt nothing. His forest that had an aura that strong, not yours" inwardly smiled and said, "Dylan, that's the aura of the Astbourne forest."

"What if I ask Gara to take out his aura?"
