Chapter 8

At school time, Kylian had run straight out of the classroom. He didn't wait for his other friends. Who was tidying up some school equipment?

"Hey, wait!"

Evelyn shouted for Kylian to wait for her for a while. But Evelyn's request should have been addressed by Kylian.

"Ahhh, shit!"

There was a swear word in Evelyn's mouth.

"Why am I the bait?"

Evelyn's words need to be understood by others. Because they also don't know what these words mean.

In the classroom, it was just Xavier and Ophelia, who Maverick was also looking after.

Evelyn came closer to the three of them. She pretended to ask Ophelia and Maverick to help her carry some of the things she had.

"C-can you help me carry this to my car?"

"Eh, Maverick, help me carry it too!"

Ophelia, who knew Evelyn, did not suspect this was one of the plans of Kylian and his gang. Likewise with Maverick. Because Xavier did not tell anyone about what he had heard from one of his friends. Suppose Kylian and his gang will plan something on him.

"Xavier, no need. He's not strong enough! He's so skinny. Hahaha."

During this time, the words of scorn from Evelyn's mouth were ignored by people because it is considered a joke. Because, at the end of his words, he ended with a laugh that was considered a joke.

Because that's what it is, Evelyn's habit is considered never serious in her words. She is also known as someone with high imagination, with all her ambitions to be a princess, like her dream all this time. That is why every word spoken by Evelyn is never considered the truth.

Xavier also should have bothered with what Evelyn said. Now he was standing together with Ophelia and Maverick. Ready to get out of the classroom. But by the time he and his two friends reached the door, Evelyn called out to Xavier.

"Xavier, wait!"

"You guys just put it in my car right away! I need to ask Xavier for help first," Evelyn said to Ophelia and Maverick.

Without suspicion, both of them nodded without saying a word. They both thought that Evelyn was not too dangerous to Xavier.

After Ophelia and Maverick left, Evelyn walked over to where Xavier stood.

"Don't you have anything to do after school?"

With a squint, Xavier looked at Evelyn's ordinary-looking face. There wasn't anything that could make others suspicious of Evelyn. But that did not apply to Xavier. He already knew what Evelyn wanted to do right now.

"Why?" asked Xavier at last. He wondered what Evelyn would say now with her plans together with Kylian.

Since Xavier already knew the plan, he also seemed calmer. Compared to usual.

Evelyn also noticed Xavier's casual demeanour because there was no fear, which appeared on Xavier's face. Just like usual, if you are in solitude.

"Do you know something?"

"Know what?" asked Xavier, pretending not to understand the meaning of the question asked by Evelyn just now.

"Hmmm, come follow me!"

Without much ado, Evelyn pulled Xavier's hand. She took Xavier on a quick walk, heading towards the back of the school. She did not pay attention to her surroundings. Who looked at her with unusual eyes.

"Evelyn's got another prey!"

"Poor guy."

"What are you going to do with Xavier? Wait. That's Xavier? It's Xavier, right?"

Some questions and prejudices came from others who saw the two walkings quickly towards the back of the school. But none of them wanted to interfere. Because it was certain that if they interfered, they wouldn't survive either. Their fate would be the same as what happened to Xavier later. So, they all better not care about the situation they saw earlier.

But Xavier also looked calm. While walking with Evelyn. With his hand that continues to be held.

There was no fear, which Xavier felt. It was the same as last time.

"You're not scared?" asked Evelyn as they arrived at the back of the school.

"No," Xavier replied curtly.

Xavier did not feel afraid. Moreover, it turned out that there was no one at the back of the school at this time.

"It turns out that the information I heard earlier was wrong. Kylian is not here. Neither are his friends."

Just as Xavier was thinking, Kylian and a few friends appeared simultaneously. They came from behind the wall of the building next to his classroom.

"This is our hero! He has no fear at all. Ptooey!"

Kylian spat with hatred, looking at Kylian. So did the rest of his friends. They smiled wryly, intending to belittle Xavier. Who they thought could not possibly defeat them. Especially at this time, there were also more than five of them.

Kylian asked his friends in other classes for help because Zamir and Eren were not with him.

"I don't want to make a fuss."

"Hahaha, just tell me if you're scared!" mocked Kylian, laughing happily.

"Hahahaha."

"Hahahahaha."

Some of his friends were also laughing at Xavier. They had the same assumption as what Kylian had said earlier. That Xavier was afraid to face them all.

Click! Click!

Kylian snapped his fingers, giving his friends the code to go ahead and beat up Xavier.

One of his friends, who was big and tall, came forward to grab Xavier's arms. Then another, holding his hands, tied them behind his back.

Xavier was not mysterious, so they were very happy. They considered it a win.

Smack!!! Smack!!!!

Suddenly, Kylian hit Xavier in the stomach. So he winced and looked down as he felt pain on the part that was hit.

"Ptooey!"

Kylian spat sarcastically towards Xavier.

"Where's your magic, huh?" asked Kylian to Xavier, who his friend still held. So he could not move freely.

Evelyn looked on with sparkling eyes. It was as if she was watching a scene from her favourite action movie.

"Magic? What do you mean?"

"Hahaha. You think I'd believe you if you were strong without any magic, huh!"

Crack!!!

"Aaaaargkhhhh!"

Xavier groaned as his wrist was broken by his friend Kylian, who held it back.

Everyone seemed to be smiling happily, hearing the sounds of moaning pain coming from Xavier's mouth. 

But just as the person who had broken his wrist walked to the side, Xavier's foot moved to kick him.

Smack!!!

"Aaaaargkhhhh!"

The man screamed in pain. Because his leg felt broken in the lower leg, this was something that no one had expected, including Evelyn and Kylian themselves.

They all never thought that Xavier would fight them. Different from usual, who could only shut up and walk away.
