Chapter 25: Tristan Ashura - Special Chapter 04
At the end of Arthur's first year at the academy...
At dawn, the academy's courtyard...
- Princess Hera Olympus (fighting, looks at Arthur): Arthur, ignore him...
- Mysterious student (laughing, runs towards the small forest): Yes, listen to your girlfriend. I forgot, be a good boy and tell your mother that the king still has those dreams about her, got that?
- Arthur Treadway (angry, chases the student): What did you say?!
- Princess Hera Olympus (looking at Arthur): Arthur, don't go after them! It's a trap... (Arthur goes after the student, she sighs)
- Princess Hera Olympus (gives a 360 kick to an opponent's face, chases Arthur): Arthur stop...
- Princess Hera Olympus (enters the forest, looks for Arthur): ARTHUR!!!
- Arthur Treadway (with veins on his face, looks around, sees that he is surrounded) "Pointed ears was right"
- Mysterious student (smiles): Arthur, don't be mad. It's not your fault that you have a sexy mother... (laughing)
- Mysterious Young Man 2 (laughing): I saw the paintings, and hmm your mother... Imagine personally...
- Mysterious young man 3 (smiling, looks at Arthur): We could take the girlfriend too...
- Arthur Treadway (veins already coming out of his skin, uses the substitution technique, attacks the leader): You're going to regret this!
Minutes later...
- Princess Hera Olympus (sees two bodies on the ground and Arthur fighting the leader): Arthur, what did you do...
- Mysterious student (laughing, dodging Arthur's blows): Princess Arthur gained courage. All of this just because I talked about mommy?
- Arthur Treadway (with the heart racing, the pupils disappear denoting his loss of rationality, strength and speed increase): AHH!! (goes berserk, dark runes appear all over his body)
- Mysterious student (dodges, but ends up not being able to, falls to the ground)
- Arthur Treadway (continues to throw very strong punches non-stop, gets on top of his opponent, and starts to get bathed in blood)
- Princess Hera (seeing everything, tries to get closer but fear takes over and just covers her eyes and turns around not to see the scene): Arthur, stop! (starts crying) screams: YOU'RE SCARING ME! I'M SCARED...
- Arthur Treadway (even with the enemy visibly dead, doesn't stop punching the corpse)
- Princess Hera Olympus (approaches, to calm him down): Arthur, please... (tries to touch him)
- Arthur Treadway (bathed in blood, stops beating, looks at her and jumps towards her)
- Princess Hera Olympus (falls with Arthur on top of her)
- Arthur Treadway (prepares a punch aimed at her face)
- Princess Hera Olympus (crying, sees his fist coming): ARTHUR, PLEASE...
It's the question we all have. If he was chosen by the Light, why is he so aggressive? Why did he have black marks on his body? I never knew how Hera could naturally deal with him, how she wasn't afraid of him and was even crazy in love. Anyway, that's for another time. I honestly surprised myself, at first, he was extremely arrogant, but over time he let us in...
Asu Continent...
Mandarin Empire, Starfall...
Future Academy, cafeteria...
- Selena Glayder (looking at Hera): What's going on between you and Arthur?
- Princess Hera Olympus (distracted, looking at her hands)
- Eleanor Havelock (snaps her fingers in front of Hera): President...
- Princess Hera Olympus (looks at both of them): Eleanor, Alander told me that you go to Qin's room...
- Princess Hera Olympus (looking at Eleanor): Late at night...
- Eleanor Havelock (blushing, lowers her head): I-It's not what it seems...
- Selena Glayder (looks at Hera, then Eleanor, thoughtfully) "Have you changed the subject, or didn't listen?": You've been behaving strangely with each other lately and now this...
- Princess Hera Olympus (looking at Eleanor): Eleanor, that's wrong. You can't disgrace yourself like that...
- Eleanor Havelock (red): It's not that, it's just that he... I-I'm going to stop... (with her head down)
- Princess Hera Olympus (smiling, holds her hand): If you refused, I would've made the headmistress know...
I forgot to mention the idiot Zheng or Qin-Shi, that sucker got Eleanor pregnant and got her expelled from both her house and the Academy, and yes, I don't like him!
- Selena Glayder (looking at the front door): Here come the gorillas...
- Alander and Tristan (sit at the table): President, did something happen to Arthur?
- Qin-Shin Huang (sits at the table, exchanges glances with Eleanor)
- Selena and Hera (notice that Qin and Eleanor are exchanging glances)
- Princess Hera Olympus (looks at Tristan): You sleep next to him, I should ask you.
- Selena Glayder (looks at Hera): An answer Arthur would give...
.
- Tristan Ashura (sighs): He's been very quiet, it's been a few months now. Just training, cultivating, and the library...
- Alander Odinson (smiles): At least he reduced the rudeness...
- Princess Hera Olympus (with her hand on her chin and a sigh that reveals the weight of her worriedness): Since when exactly?
- Alander, Tristan (gesturing, exchange glances)
- Qin-Shin Huang (looks at Hera): There was a day when the water was having problems... (Selena interrupts)
- Selena Glayder (laughing): Does water have problems?
- Qin-Shin Huang (with a vein on his face): Selena, leave me alone! The day the entire boys' dormitory showered in my bathroom...
- Tristan Ashura (with his hand on his cheek): I thought he was angry with me...
- Princess Hera Olympus (sighs): I'll talk to him, but I doubt he'll say something...
- Arthur Treadway (enters the cafeteria with his hands in his pockets, goes to pick his lunch)
- Student (gets close to Arthur): A-Arthur, hi...
- Arthur Treadway (looks at the student, continues to pick his lunch) "I can't even eat in peace...": How are you?
- Student (blushing, with a letter in her hand) "He's handsome, no he's beyond that...": Hmm, I-I wanted to give you, a-a letter...
- Princess Hera Olympus (seeing the two of them, clenches her fists) "Always with girls..."
- Selena Glayder (looks at Hera): Don't look too much, or your eyes will fall off...
- Arthur Treadway (talking to the student, receives the letter): Thank you. It's Lana, right?
- Hana (excited, smiles): Hana. Read when you're alone... (rushes back to her friends)
- Arthur Treadway (looking at Hana): Thank you, Hana..." Is it wrong if I throw it away?" (with his lunch, goes to sit with his group)
- Alander, Eleanor, Selena, Hera, Tristan and Qin-Shin (looking at Arthur)
- Arthur Treadway (looks at the six, sighs) "Apparently peace doesn't exist on this side of the globe": What do you want?
- Selena Glayder (smiling, looks at Hera) whispers: Talk to him...
- Princess Hera Olympus (with a red face): Hmm... Arthur, how are you?
- Arthur Treadway (puts his fork in his mouth): Great...
Well, it took time, right? Like everything in life...
