33 Chapter 33: I must make her fall for me.
Before Lexa entered the room, Dan was practicing his speech as he had plans of asking Lexa out after tendering a pleading speech for what he did in the morning. He had intentionally told his siblings to leave as he had plans of proposing to Lexa tonight. In his hand was a written note containing different speech he could use that would make her accept his proposal.
“Lexa, I’m really sorry for what I did in the morning. Honestly, I’m a stupid dude. I deserved to be killed but after you were gone, I realized that I wanted to protect you at all cost. While I was seated on the chair thinking of meeting up with you, I had suddenly saw a vision of you and me. I saw you standing in front of me and then started scolding me affectionately. That was when I realized that I’m in love with you. So for this reason, will you be my girlfriend Lexa... No, I sound like a chipmunk. Let’s go again— Lexa, I want us to become couples... Now I sound like a chicken– Lexa,..”
Suddenly the door had opened and Lexa had came inside. He immediately hid the paper inside his pocket and then went to approach Lexa.
“Hey, what’s up.” Dan asked as he intended to hug Lexa but she immediately pushed him away.
“Heck, I’m tired. Is Kevin here?” she asked as she closed the door behind and looked around the room.
“What’s wrong, I thought you guys were together?” He asked, a bit heartbroken that Lexa didn’t even asked about him but Kevin.
“We were together but something happened and we had to go on separate ways. Although, it’s not separate ways like that, it was just an accident.” Lexa said, still worried that Kevin might have really saw her back in the bush.
“Oh my God, Kevin must have been so angry with me.” Lexa lamented.
“What happened between you two?” Dan asked upon hearing Lexa talked on how Kevin was angry with her.
.....
“I think he saw me spying on him in the bush with the bully.”
“Bully? Was Kevin bullied?”
“Nevermind, it’s nothing you should be concerned about.” Lexa replied as she sat on the only chair that was in their room.
‘Why is she being hostile. Did Kevin offended her or what? I’m going to beat that guy up if he happens to be the one who made her angry. I need to propose to her but she’s angry and won’t listen to anything I say.’ Dan thought.
“Hey, tell me what happened. Did you guys fought or Were you guys bullied by someone? Let’s go and report them to the teachers, at least you’re the daughter of a respectable leader.”
“No we’re not!” Lexa objected, pointing a finger at Dan.
“Then tell me what happened, remember I promised to help you with any problem you have, huh.”
“Dan, don’t bother yourself about the bullying. I’m more worried about Kevin. And there’s nothing you can do about to help me with it.”
“Tell me what it is so I can know if I could help out or not. See this as me trying to make up for what I did in the morning.” Dan said as he grabbed Lexa’s two hands.
“Okay if you insist, then I’ll tell you what happened. But seriously you shouldn’t worry about the bullies anymore. Kevin has taken care of them.”
“Just tell me Lexa.”
“Okay, okay. Leave my hands alone then I’ll tell you.” Lexa said and Dan immediately did as she said.
“Now tell me.” Dan said, gleaming a funny stare at Lexa which made her giggle a bit.
“See Dan, after I explain this to you. Don’t tell Kevin about it, or he might get really angry at me. Promise me.”
“Alright, I promise not to tell him. Now tell me already.”
“Listen, I and Kevin were on our way to the school garden, until we met some three guys at the entrance. They took our credits, both mine and Kevin’s... but,”
“What’s the name of the bullies?!” Dan interupted. His eyes had lightened up as he heard Lexa said that the bullies took their credits.
‘What could be more annoying to girls than money. They love money, that’s why she’s acting hostile to me.
“I only know the name of one of them. He seems to be their leader. His name is Bryce.” Lexa replied but before she could say any more, Dan had rushed out of the room. “Hey what’s wrong with you, I’m not done with what I’m saying, Hey!”
The door of the room closed as soon as soon exited the room.
Swiftly like a bird, Dan had rushed over to the entrance of the school garden.
‘If I’m going to make Lexa be my girlfriend, I need to make her proud. She must have fallen for Kevin for saving her in the morning but now they are fighting. This is the only chance I have to gain her love.’ Dan was so determined.
He got to the hallway that led to the school garden, he saw a few students standing by the entrance, collecting credits from other students.
‘So it is this guys. Thank God it’s not the six dragons, I wouldn’t be able to do anything if it were them.’ An evil smirk had formed on his lips, as he started waking towards the students.
“Hey! What are you guys doing, stop right now.” Dan said as flame covered his hands up to his elbow. His brows furrowed at the men, at the men also got themselves ready to fight the man in front of them.
“Who is this brat, you need a beating?” one of Bryce men said.
“I don’t think you can see well, you must have a death wish. Don’t you see that I have a fire magic, I can burn you down before you could even touch a single hair on my head.” Dan bragged about his magic.
“Eh, eh. Who’s this talking. Do you think you’re the only one with fire magic.” One of the men said as his hands flamed up with fire. While the other was able to create wind magic.
They started walking towards Dan, and Dan also walked towards them. The one with fire magic had charged at Dan as he sent two balls of fire at him. Dan dodged the first one and had grabbed the second ball with his bare hands.
“What a weak fire you created.” Dan said, unknown to him that the boy had gotten close to him. He kicked Dan on the foot–He fell to the ground and the boy finished it all by punching him on the mouth.
“Whoaah! It seems like you have been defeated, bragger.” The boy smirked while the other cheered him on. He left Dan laying on the ground as he walked back to the spot where his friend was.
“Shit, is that what they call a fight. You only punched my mouth, you didn’t defeat me in any way.” Dan taunted the boy as he lifted himself from the ground.
The boy was about to dashed at him but his friend with the wind magic had stopped him.
“He seems so weak, let me take care of him.” The boy said and the other agreed.
He walked towards Dan who had a smile on his face. All of a sudden, Dan used his magic to create an energy arrow and bow. He then fired an arrow at the boy. But the boy had used his wind magic to sway the arrow away.
Dan sent more arrows heading his way but he simply dodged them all and started advancing towards him.
He had gotten close to Dan and since an arrow can only be fired at long distance opponents, Dan decided to stop firing. Everyone had thought he would stop using the arrows since it was useless as his opponent was standing right in front of him. But they failed to realize that Dan had two opponents not one. He fired three arrows into the air, but the students ignored it, thinking it was useless.
Dan changed his energy arrow into a sword and charged at his opponent.
“You’re not the only one who could do that.” His opponent said as he also used his energy to create two kitana blades.
The two clashed at each other as they started swinging weapons at each other.
“Do you know how many years I spent training in a private school before coming to the academy. I’m able to perform different types of skills that you would just be taught in the academy.” Dan’s opponent said.
“And do you know that I was a cleaner in that school and would always practice everything you guys pay money to learn.” Dan replied back. “There’s a secret place in the private training hall that I always peep to look at your teacher demonstrating different types of skills to you. I’m way better than those of you who paid for the lesson.”
“You cheater, I’ll report you to the hall master once I get out of the academy.”
“That’ll be a year from now. I would’ve gotten stronger than this, and I would be among those chosen to travel to the human world, you scum.”
“What??! Do you think your weak magic will make you win something like that, I’ll make sure you lose the competition! Arghh!”
