The Return of the Mad Witch
The Duel Challenge

After passing the incident yesterday, Valencia returned to class as usual as if nothing had happened. Valencia sat separately in a corner of the classroom as everyone stayed away from him for fear of Valencia's sadism. They fear they will be the next victims if they get too close to Valencia. However, the girl did not pay much heed to whatever other people's response to her was.

‘Can't I graduate from this academy in six months? Honestly, I want to go where no one goes,’ Valencia thought while propping up his chin and staring straight at the window.

Not long after, the entrance of the classroom opened forcefully, a silver-embroidered young man suddenly walked in. The entire attention was centered on him, half his face covered in a mask, as well as dark green pupils full of gloom. Suddenly the class atmosphere became quiet, they whispered something bad about the arrival of the young man.

‘Who is he? I've never seen him before. But, from her uniform, she is also a student in this academy.’ Valencia wondered, only this time he met the man at the academy.

Whispers from the people reached the hearing drum of Valencia, here he immediately knew what was going on with the young man and also he was shunned by all the students in this class.

“Tumben once he came to the academy, after fighting and almost making people's children die, he can still come without feeling guilty.”

“Si ugly it really got mental steel. Though everyone in this academy stayed away from him, but he still came to the academy. What's in his brain?”

After his sense of captivity was fulfilled, Valencia returned to his own mind and chose to ignore the young man. For some reason the man's life was very sad for Valencia, tucked a little pity on him.

“Hey, you still dare to come to the academy? Don't you have any shame after hurting someone else?”

“What's on your mind? Besides your bad looks, apparently your brain can't think either.”

Three male students suddenly approached the man who was not yet known by name by Valencia. The three of them scolded the man, they snubbed him mercilessly. Then the pair of dark green eyes stared at them one by one, they were shocked when the person they were hanging around showed the flames of anger.

“Can't you guys shut up? Just shut your mouth with garbage,” he said filled with deep anger.

They reflexively retreated, they considered the man like a monster that was about to pounce on them that very second.

“Monster! Your face looks bad like a monster! You better get your feet out of here because you're just ruining the mood.”

“This academy does not accept monsters, here only accept normal people and you do not even have the appearance of an ordinary human.”

They bully him continuously, Valencia can not bear to hear the people who pretend to feel the most perfect in this world. Yet they themselves do not realize that they do not even touch a speck of perfection.

“You guys are noisy once.” Finally, Valencia opened his voice, he immediately made the silence of the three people. “Saying others like monsters, are you that perfect? Ck, you guys never look in the mirror? Look at that dull, unkempt face, it's sickening. You better stop now before I make you guys suffer the same fate as the Head of Academy,” he continued bluffing.

On the guts of the three of them instantly shrieked, they chose not to deal with Valencia. Soon they disappear from the classroom before they receive the same bad luck as Joseth yesterday.

Valencia's vision was shifted to the blood flowing from the hand of the man who had just been stricken. The bandage wrapped in his hand turned red, his blood slowly dripping on the table. Valencia quickly got up from his position, he headed to the man's seat.

“Wear this. Do not clench your hands too strong, later your wounds that have not dried become more open.” Valencia handed the man his handkerchief.

However, the man's response was not good, he brushed off Valencia's hand and made his handkerchief fall to the surface of the floor. Valencia took back his handkerchief, he was not angry at the man at all.

“Do not be kind to me,”.

Valencia let out a long sigh, it was only natural that someone who was always hit by a bully did not believe in others. Even when he does good will be responded to negatively.

 “Dispose of your bad thoughts about me, I just don't want you to die of blood loss.” Valencia put his handkerchief on the table and then walked away from the man.

The man was fixated, this was the first time someone had done good to him and felt sorry for him.

***

The time is rolling so fast, it is now nine o'clock at night, but most people are already asleep. Valencia who was alone in his room felt an overwhelming sense of urgency so he decided to go outside looking for other activities to reduce his sense of urgency.

When he went to the practice field, he found someone still practicing swinging his sword in the middle of the field. Valencia was curious and immediately approached the person, he climbed up to the top of the tree while enjoying a moment of the training scenery.

“Eh? Wasn't that the guy in the class? Why is he still training these nights?”

Yes, the man was the masked man who had been bullied in class, Valencia met him again on the training ground.

“Hey, why are you still training?” valencia shouted in question.

Hearing Valencia's voice, the man paused for a moment his practice, he turned to the source of Valencia's voice. To be honest, he was surprised that he was unaware of Valencia's presence on a tree near the training ground.

“What is your business?” He answered Valencia's question in an unfriendly tone.

“How about we duel?” challenge Valencia to jump down from the top of the tree.

“Duel?”

Valencia nodded as he moved closer to him, grabbing a sword lying on the sidelines.

“How? Do you want to duel with me?” Valencia pointed the sword at the man, smiling with eyes full of confidence.

“Alright, let's duel,” he replied agreeing to the dueling challenge from Valencia.

“Wait a minute, I don't know your name yet. Can you say your name first?”

The man was silent for a few seconds before he finally mentioned his name to Valencia.

“Xeros, my name is Xeros,” he said slowly.

“Alright, Xeros! Let's duel now.”

Valencia's sweet smile was so bright that Xeros was charmed to look at Valencia for a moment.

“Beautiful once,” murmured involuntarily.

“Hmm, what are you saying?” valencian asked inadvertently to hear a glimpse of Xeros' words.

“No, nothing,” us Xeros instantly silenced his mouth.

At the time Valencia and Xeros were about to start, suddenly they were bullied by a group of men led Charly – would-be fiancee Valencia. Forced the two of them to hold off for a moment until Charly left before them. Valencia immediately welcomed Charly's arrival with a deadly smile, his aura filled with an unstoppable fury.

“What are you doing these nights with another man? You are getting wild yeah, Valencia,” said Charly.
