Chapter 27: An Angel and the Devil
An ear-breaking sound filled the stone room and Eirin felt someone’s hand pulling her away from the explosion. Her eyes were wide open as she saw vibrant golden platinum locks that fell onto her face while she could feel a callous hand behind her back, gently supporting her from her fall.
"Are you okay?"
A soft and pleasant voice flowed into Eirin’s ear as she stared into those pair of baby blue eyes that were looking directly at her.
"An angel," Eirin unconsciously muttered, causing the person in front of her to let out a soft and sweet chuckle, making Eirin’s heart skip a beat. ’I must be dead right now. There’s no way a guy this beautiful could ever exist in real life,’ she thought.
The hand supporting Eirin pulled her up, and the man in front of her smiled and said, "It looks like she’s fine, Mr. Arthur." He removed his hand around Eirin’s waist. That’s when Mr. Blade rushed to Eirin’s aide.
"That almost took me to the other world. Thank you, Pierre," Mr. Blade said, thanking the handsome guy who protected Eirin from harm. This caused Eirin to look around, none of the students were harmed at all, but the water spring was broken into pieces.
Eirin got pulled back to reality upon hearing the other teacher clearing her throat. "We must report what happened to the school director," the teacher said. The teenage girl saw how Mr. Blade’s expression turned sour while he scratched his cheek.
’What happened? Was it all my fault? Of course, it was! I made that water ball explode with something I don’t even know of!’
"Understood. For now, class dismissed," Mr. Blade announced. "Eirin, please follow us to the school director’s office, immediately," he added, causing Eirin to gulp with her heart thumping faster and louder.
"What was that?" Eirin felt Kara’s hand on her arm and saw her with a huge grin on her face. "It was a total failure! And did you see that? The color was pure black. It’s ominous. You’re not even a monster," she added while laughing.
Eirin blinked lots of times and thought, ’Is she making fun of me?’ Due to how insensitive Kara’s tone was, it made Eirin unable to react at all.
