My Triling System

Chapter 136: Punishment

While Kevin and Adam walked toward the office, Azura secretly sneaked behind them, ensuring that none of them saw her.

Lexa had also left for her sister's office in the library. She must do everything she could to save her husband.

As soon as Adam entered his office, the voice of the spirit of water came to his hearing.

"He's here. The Hero is here." The voice faded once again.

This was strange to Adam. It has been a long time since he last heard from the spirit of water. But surprisingly, he heard the voice today.

'What are you trying to say?' Adam wondered as he fidgeted on the message that was passed across to him. But Grace's noise had drew his attention away from the message.

"Yes, this is him. He's that brat who attacked me in class."

"He attacked you?" Adam was surprised.

"Yes. I want him punished at the moment." Grace said as she scurried off to Adam's table and brought out a book.

"But I did not attack her." Kevin said.

"He's a liar. I'm punishing him according to the book of academic crime."

"You don't have to go that far, grace." Adam said but she won't budge.

"According to page 306 of the academic crime book; A student, either male or female that attacks a teacher of the school will be punished by making him hunt down ten orc beast crystals from the forest. The student has a duration of two weeks to leave and return back to the school." Grace read out.

"Therefore Kevin, be prepared to embark on this journey after taking the test two days to this time."

After this was said, Grace exited Adam's office as she went to announce to all other students about Kevin's punishment.

Adam sighed and shook his head in pity for Kevin.

"I'm sorry boy, but there's nothing I can do to stop this." Adam said as he went to sit in his seat.

"But I didn't do anything to her. She gave us the task of casting an unknown spell but no one knew how to do that until I tried my luck and,..." Kevin tried to explain but Adam interrupted him all of a sudden.

"I know you must be annoyed Kevin. But sadly, I can't stop grace. This matter is out of my hand, just accept your fate. If you're lucky, we'll get to see each other again. Please head back to your room. All class has been dismissed for today." Adam said and Kevin annoyingly left his office. He was heading straight for his room.

'I will kill that Grace if it's the last thing I do.' Kevin swore as he entered the dorm building and went straight for his bed.

Azura followed after him and immediately entered as soon as he opened the door of the building.

"Azura? What are you doing, this is the boy's dormitory." Kevin said as he saw Azura follow after him.

"Who cares. You're what matters most to me." Azura said as she hugged Kevin.

He felt warm as he hugged her tightly and never wished to let go of her. While they were in the midst of their hugging, Azura started speaking.

"I heard all what the teacher said in the office. She said you should hunt ten orc crystals." Azura said.

Kevin sighed.

"Yes, it means I'll be heading for the forest all alone since I'm the one being punished." He said.

"What about me? Where would I be?" Azura asked.

"You should stay here till I'm back from the forest." Kevin said.

"Are you crazy? Do you think you can survive all alone in the forest?"

"I spent most of my life living in the green forest, I know the paths to walk and the paths I shouldn't walk."

"Shit. You can't find any orc in the green forest, they can only be found in the forbidden forest. Especially at the center part of the forest. You will have to fight numerous beast before you could get to the center of the forest. And I also heard that a dragon swells at the center of the forest. Are you mentally and physically prepared for what you're to face? You need weapons and men if you're to embark on such a journey. You need me. It is my duty to protect you."

"But it's too dangerous. I can't afford to see you die because of me." Kevin said, recalling the story of how Azura's family died because of him. Azura is the only panther left, she must not die. No, Kevin would protect her. She's the one that needs protection the most, not him.

"But you're the Triling and I'm the Triling's wife. Neither of us is going to die. We would have kids together before then." Azura said.

"Kids? No, I've not thought of that yet. I'm still young to be a father. I'm not a panther, Azura." Kevin said and Azura could only smile at his words.

"Now that you brought that up, you're making me feel like having a child. I'm going to punish you for this." Kevin said as he kissed her on the lips.

"That's your first punishment. Be prepared to receive the second punishment." Kevin said as he and Azura disappeared into the shadows.

Lexa had gotten to Lina's office, she explained all what happened between grace and Kevin to her and requested for the Queen to be informed.

Lina was hesitant to do so until she heard the announcement coming from Grace through the announcing speakers fixed on all buildings of the school of light.

"Are you kidding me? Hunt ten orc crystals. That's suicide." Lina said as she immediately picked a communicating device that linked only to the queen. She called and explained all what Lexa told her to the Queen. Evelyn was so shocked as she heard this and decided to fo something about it.
