WARLORD VS AMBITIOUS GIRL
012. IDENTITY OF THE MYSTERIOUS MAN

"What did you say? What does The Bloody Rose have to do with that girl? Why did he ask you to follow all the glasses say?" Ask Anton to Ares.

Ares and Anton chatted shortly after The Bloody Rose or Kayden left from there. The two young men were still on their bikes, and next to each other.

Just now Ares is saying what The Bloody Rose wants to Ares after the man beats himself in motor racing.

"That's very strange. Though he doesn't know anything that happened to you and the glasses girl, right? Then why did he ask you that? Does he really know that girl?"

"Either... I'm also not—" Ares' words came to a halt with glaring eyes.

"What's wrong?" Anton asked because his best friend seemed to think.

Ares was silent, he had just thought of something. Suddenly his thoughts flashed to the figure of the man he saw while trailing Tania home. The man she saw with the girl, and made her feel familiar.

"What are you thinking?"

"Is my guess right?" Ask Ares who is still thinking hard to ignore Anton's question.

"What is the right guess?" Anton was curious.

Ares propped up his chin with his right hand while thinking and continued to dwell on his mind.

Just now the young man assumed that the man who was with Tania yesterday was his homeroom teacher. But that was not enough for him.

"What are you thinking?" Anton kept asking even though Ares didn't press him.

Ares still did not answer. The young man was still thinking and looking for a match with what was bothering him.

"Tell me, what are you thinking?"

"Shut up!! You're so noisy, motherfucker!!" Ares's annoyance at Anton who constantly bothers him who is busy thinking.

"I just want to know what you're thinking." Anton replied, surprised by the snaps of his best friend.

"I think I know who The Bloody Rose is." Ares looked at Anton in seriousness.

"A—what did you say? Do you know who the mystery man is?" Anton's face looked surprised by Ares' statement.

"It seems your words were right."

"Which word am I? What's right?" Anton asked increasingly curious because Ares did not say everything clearly.

"The glasses and The Bloody Rose... Ah, I mean, our homeroom teacher... It seems like the two of them have a relationship." Answer Ares.

"relationship? Wait-wait!! What do you mean our homeroom teacher?" Look at Anton with a surprised face.

"The Bloody Rose... He's his homeroom teacher. Ma—I mean my homeroom teacher and the glasses." Ares answered with confidence. "Do you know that my cousin has a best friend that I told you that his best friend is my homeroom teacher?"

"Your cousin Symphony?" Ask Anton.

"I think it's very possible because only Symphony can keep secret who The Bloody Rose is with the friendship formula my uncle Lion made." Ares replied.

"Is that possible?"

Ares stared at his best friend. He wanted to have an idea that he wanted to do with Anton right now.

"How about we make sure now?" Ares.

After about thirty minutes, the two friends arrived in front of a house.

After saying what he wanted to do, Ares took Anton to the house that the young man came to as well last night. It was Kayden's house, where Tania also lived in a room outside the house.

"Why do we have to come here?" Anton asked Ares.

Right now the two of them are standing behind the power pole that yesterday was also where Ares was hiding. The two young men watched the house whose yard was filled with flower plants.

"I'm sure that the mysterious man is our homeroom teacher, he's not at home yet. And it looks like the glasses don't know anything about the guy called The Bloody Rose either. You see how that girl looks upset when she accidentally hits the guy standing behind her?" Ares Exclamation.

"Yes of course, he kept it a secret from anyone, that's for sure also he kept it a secret to his students." Answer Anton. "But why did the girl live with him? Are they brothers?"

"Oh, someone's coming." Anton looked back.

Anton turned his head towards the entrance of the alley and saw a man walking a considerable distance. Seeing him he was very sure that the man was his homeroom teacher.

"Hide fast, that's the man I mean." Ares whispered as he ran from his place towards a small alley in front.

Together with his best friend, Ares noticed the man who turned out to be Kayden—wali class. The man went inside the fence and along with Tania came out of the room where he lived.

"Isn't that the glasses?" Anton asked in shock.

"I told you, the girl lives with him. But he came out of that little room. Is he just renting it?" Ares seemed to think.

Ares and Anton watch Kayden and Tania until the two men separate and enter their homes.

"There's no evidence your homeroom teacher is The Bloody Rose." Anton said out of the alley that became his hiding place with Ares.

"I'm sure he's The Bloody Rose, so he asked me to follow what the glasses were saying. And anyway she's also my homeroom teacher, she's definitely gonna want me to go to school again." Answer Ares.

"So, what are you gonna do now?"

"I want to find out the truth. I'm going to school tomorrow. Yeah, I'm gonna go over to the glasses to make sure that guy's The Bloody Rose." Ares spoke still thinking about what he was going to do.

"What's? Are you serious, you idiot?" Anton who knew Ares seemed to not believe the words of the young man who said he would go to school and plus his best friend was intending to approach Tania. "You're just kidding, right?"

"I've never been this serious." Ares answered, taking a step closer to Anton.

Sure enough, what Ares said was really the young man did. The next day, Ares drove his bike into a school that he had not tracked for a very long time.

As he got off his motorbike, the young man split the crowd and was surprised by the presence of Tania who saw him. Even so, he did not want to step down and felt he had to do what he had told Anton.

Her eyes turned as Tania asked why she had suddenly come to school. But his gaze was directed at the figure of the man standing far behind Tania.

Ares saw Kayden staring at his presence as well. That made Ares step forward to answer Tania's question.

""I like you, that's why I came to school today." Answer Ares.

The boisterous voice of another student who cheered because of the expression of the liking of the youth who had many fans was heard all over the school.

Ares smiled at Tania who was silent at her declaration of love just now. The young man was very sure that the girl who had kissed him was stunned by the false expression that had sprung from his lips.

But who would have thought, Tania suddenly stomped on Ares's foot so hard that the young man grimaced in pain, but because of the many other disciples there, Ares endured the pain.

"Why did you step on my foot?" The involuntary exclaim of Ares spoke rather loudly but as usual the young man immediately restrained himself from speaking loudly to a woman. As her mother often told her.

"Anyone won't believe what you say." Tania said gruntingly.

"I'm serious." Ares answered with a stifled face because his efforts to express love in earnest became futile.

At the same time the bell went off.

"You're just a liar, that's all I believe in." Tandas Tania while walking away to get into her class along with the other students.

Kayden who had been there had only given his smile to the disciples who passed through his existence, as well as to Tania, even though the girl had only given him a cold face.

"Whoops!!" Call Kayden when Ares walks past him.

"Yes what's wrong? Ah, I forgot... Aren't you my homeroom teacher?" Ares stopped his steps and faced Kayden.

"Come to the office. You haven't been in school for a long time. Why are you suddenly coming now?" Ask Kayden.

"As you know, I have to do what I'm asked to do because I've lost, right?" Ares replied while walking but not far away immediately stopped and turned back to Kayden who was still staring at him unmoved. "I mean, someone asked me to go to school, which is why I'm here now. Oh, that's none of your business, teacher. Most importantly I've been to school and will start coming to school now."

After saying that, Ares walked away from Kayden.

Kayden was still fixated on the presence of his disciple who was actually following what he had asked for last night.
