Awakening of the Inferno

Chapter 10 - Motives -2-

I was eternally grateful that she exhibited such profound intentions towards the headmaster.

‘Yes! Crush with all that you have!’ Inoyva released a disdainful smile towards Cai who remained under the palm of his hand. Inoya felt his hands embedded at her soft hair. She found herself seemingly silent at that sort of embrace.

Copping her head, Inoyva turned suit, towards the other two maidens with the infirmary.

‘Let’s see…’ Inoyva’s eyes would narrow down, scanning the eager cousin.

Despite the fact that she had a short stature, I can vaguely feel it. She has the same composite body as Cai, well not as gifted but is incomparably stronger to most women of her age. Perhaps after some time, she could be evaluated to be a Warrior-class Knight, give or take.

‘That’s actually perfect for me, since one other main aspect I chose to remain here.’

The collective arrangement of security within the elite academy is by far ahead of its time. For those reasons, since the dorms have both genders of people, it can be predicted that some idle minds might have the notion to procreate, well sneak about and make out.

‘…To not let that happen even though it should be clearly something prohibited, the dorms have high security in order to capture the movements of candidates. It almost feels like a prison. I couldn’t fully exercise my notion to plant some seeds within.’

Inoyva with an almost snoot face, made a calm deduction over everything so far. Contemplating those varying reasons, manipulating each occurrence for the sole sake of his benefit, it played out as a puzzle at the mind.

‘Even though she might be annoying, I can still use Mixo.’ He thought to himself, Nyiko and Mixo sharing some words at the background.

‘And to the side…’ He shifted a perceptive attention span. However, someone detected a change to that snootily displayed face. Inoyva shrieked with a glimmer of shock and surprise.

‘She noticed my gaze… Nyiko.’ As such, Nyiko, the girl coming thereafter with heavy breathing and rather tall stature, she would be at an otherworldly development. She could notice Inoyva’s rampantly surging gaze with her own, passing a glance to him, then back to Mixo as if nothing happened.

In my repertoire of skills, most are not noteworthy but for one which I have full confidence in, is how I am perceptive. Whether the lad standing in walking distance is quaking with fear, whether the situation at hand can play to my advantage through adverse manipulation, whether a pitiful bastard thinks that he is the idolization of what true strength is, I can see it all in front me.

‘That is why, I know feigning ignorance at her would be useless.’ 

Inoyva made a smirking arrangement at his fixed face. That detailed motion of the facial muscles released a somewhat jittered up response from Nyiko, who was the person having been the full recipient. 

“Shouldn’t we let him rest? You know, since rest is the best medicine, Mixo?”

That one captured image was enough to send a bitter feel into her very bones. Even though Nyiko could not attack him front on, she decided to remove herself from that uncomfortable situation.

“Isn’t laughter the best medicine?”

Mixo answered in kind, speaking the single thought having emerged first.

“That’s what idiots say.”

As Nyiko thrust upon a nonchalant response, they would head way, at the path once being transverse. “Bye.” That was the word having spilled forth from Mixo, as the duo of maidens’ back became smaller and smaller.

“Sure.” He could foresee it with his cheery wave of the arm. That despite Nyiko never turning to him ever again, he had implemented something within the mind for the sole sake of increasing a steady gathering force of his own.

“Inoyva…”

Before that though, he recalled that Cai, amidst the room called out. A previously placed hand at the top of her head still remained even now. Though he forgot to remove it, no awkwardness could enshroud the atmosphere.

“Inoyva…” As she once again said his name, her petite hands placed a grip over the congratulated hand. Surely enough, something was drastically changing!

“…Do you like me?”

And like so, Inoyva’s face would catch a faint glimmer of hope. Her once raspy, unflinching gaze and voice would be altered abruptly. A cause of change, occasionally met, Inoyva could pace throughout the database that made up his mind. In order to formulate the reason she was foreboding the aura of heart-stricken maiden, he was left without any words whatsoever.

Huh? Is she finally coming around? Even though she rejected majority of my advancements, I couldn’t tell what was the exact reason…

“Yeah…” 

Regardless though, from each concept of thought of a dreamt upon reality, he actually retained no truth of the matter. Cai immediately bulked up her muscles to those petite hands, when a monstrous strength surged through out, thereby exerting force on Inoyva’s hand.

“What the f…” The words managed to not be a complete set. “Ouch, ouch!” As he was now, he thoroughly felt the pain of his hand being crushed with the grasp of a monster.

I was once, yet again forced to relive the fact that despite the petite form she displayed towards the masses, she had another unruly side, too.

“I get it!” 

He cried out, yelping to lessen the degree of strength having been exerting that deadly force. 

Alongside her eyes squinting, perhaps an action showing her suspicion, Cai let go of that hand.

She sighed heavily.

“You can’t use that unruly strength of yours on weaker people as myself.”

He pegged the statement, when recalling that she had retained that unearthly power. He knew that with one wave of the hand, she would efface him from the realm of the living.

“The answer then is simple, don’t do something dumb again.” As she said those words appearing with malicious intent, Cai stood up. Even so, he already knew that while she directed said words with a fury in voice, the sentiment carried was of utter concern and longing.

As such with effortless motion, she would exit after lightly patting him on the head, ruffling his hair in the end.

***

The fourth day passed by on like the previous ones.

The surging motion of flames having been created, would be at a sublime task and succession. 

And I realized that from the stick-like things that had made up my arms at one point, were becoming even more thicker. It had seemed like the configuration of my body was at heaven-defying success. Well, it was not like I would stop there, since I already knew that no weak person lied within the walls of the academy.

However…

‘I can hear footsteps.’

Before he could realize it, Inoyva felt the sensation of some people walking over to him. Those constant releases of sound were far too many to be created from one person, perhaps five or six. Cai was only the person having been there with the lengthy lessons he missed in class, with the occasional appearance of Mixo.

‘If it was Mixo, she would have gone for a stealthy approach.’ It could not be them.

“Yo, trash!”

Unfamiliar faces crept within his sights. The one guy standing at the front threw a happy voice towards the sharply noticing Inoyva. There were 6 of them in total, all male students to be exact.

What do they want?

“The academy’s trash? Well, that’s an over-exaggerated name, don’t you think?”

The same person said with a dreamy happiness in his voice. But the traces of sweat piling up on his face were soon noticeable. They approached him to each side of the bed, “Sure.” Inoyva answered.

“Dude, I think he can see through the act already.”

The other smirking lad to the side made a wise claim. Clearly he was acting out.

“Is that so…?”

With that, the encounter had yet to reach a single minute but like busy people, they moved to the main topic. The first guy slowly reached out to Inoyva, draping his arm onto the “injured” lad’s shoulder.

“Let me cut to the chase. I want you to introduce me to the beauty that you came with!” He made a bold statement.

Inoyva could nevertheless understand what he implied with the brief moment.

“Why?”

“…Because she looks fuckable!” And the additional words having poured out were even more annoying to her.

I see. In regards to her rejection of my advances, I know full-heartedly that she is loyal only to me. From what I can notice, they probably took the chance to approach her with perverted gazes and were thoroughly rejected. So, you thought that coming to the person she had seemed the most closest with would solve that problem? Annoying, I wonder if they are my classmates…

“Hey trash, why aren’t you answering me?”

He gave off a barbaric approach this time. The classic aggressive response anyone extorting something from a lone person. Inoyva sighed heavily while calculating something in his head… ‘Fuckable… Eight words, plus my favorite number, eighteen, then that would be…’

“One hundred and forty four!” He revealed the results with a wonder-like tone.

However before they could ever continue a wicked attempt, the nurse walked inside, “What are you all doing to him?”

With that, they would be booted outside.
