Chapter 52: Lunethra vs Zephyr
Zephyr’s feet carried him forward like they belonged to someone else. The weight of Lunethra’s gaze was sharper than any blade in the room, dragging a cold sweat down his spine. His pulse was loud in his ears, and every step echoed louder than it should have in the cavernous room.
But once again he stopped just moments of reaching her, then he turned to Mr. Fisher and said. "Do we have an option to skip combat class". Zephyr didn’t care if they called him a coward, they had called him worse and if they was any chance of him of going through this day without pain he was going to take it.
Mr. Fisher voice was immediate. "Of course not. What do you think this class is, it’s essential when you are going to fight against human and riftsprawn alike".
Zephyr continued to walk, his feet were like lead and after what seems to be an eternity he finally arrived in front of her, all around her the smell of rose licked the air.
"So what’s your dominant hand". Mr. Fisher asked the same question he has been asking the rest of the students since the beginning of this class.
"Right". Zephyr was taken aback when he heard the cold voice.
’Its the first time I have ever heard her speak. And it’s beautiful if I might add’. This was the first time he have heard her speak and now come to speak of it the only person he had talked to was Keal and the only person who had talked to him apart from Keal was Mr. Fisher.
All the hate filled look, the hate filled comments, all the chattering back in his dorm he haven’t really paid attention to all that. In his mind they were one faceless entity.
"Zephyr please answer the question, the rest of your class mates are really getting impatient". Mr. Fisher pulled him out of his thoughts.
’Why wouldn’t them be impatient, waiting for me to be smacked around’. Zephyr turned to look at his left hand. ’There’s no way I will be able to fight using my left’. Then an idea came to his mind.
"My left". Zephyr lied with a straight face.
