Even though they had left him for dead, Mr Zhao considers his retaliation as fun? They should be thankful he had just done that to scare them and not necessarily kill them, it took all it had in him to just target shaking them up a little.

"What would you call putting my life in danger?" He asked with a frown on his face.

"It wasn't exactly that way, now was it?" Mr Zhao tried to cover up their actions with a slight chuckle, pulling on his beard.

Turning his back at them, he picked up his jacket that he had dropped earlier. "I think I've had enough for today."

Looking down at his left foot, he frowned at how ruined the boot was because of that damn creature spitting it's liquid in his direction. He could clearly see his toes poking out of the hole which had been created by it.

"What an annoying ability. There's no way that I can use these boots anymore..." He looked disapprovingly at his left foot which was caked with dust, grime and blood. "I guess this is the end for them." He tossed his boots off into a corner with a look of annoyance.

He shivered at the cold feel shooting up from the sole of his feet throughout his body before it got regulated.

"Nix, you have to understand that we do this just to test your gift, not to harm you. If it were up to us, we would let you live!" Mr. Zhao said in a stern voice.

"Why do I not feel convinced, Mr Zhao?" He asked, not bothering to hide his disdain. He slowly walked towards them, looking at them coldly.

The lady looked worried, she had been quiet this entire time, her glowing yellow eyes were fixed on him. "You surpassed the expectation." She said.

"They have their own agendas, you don't have to believe me." He said.

'Again with the mystery lurking in the shadows!' He rolled his eyes at his statement.

"I hope you do remember that you owe me a promise, so be mindful of what I could ask, Sir." He made sure his tone was formal, yet threatening.

Turning his attention to the lady, he held a smile, "a lady as beautiful as you should have a name that rightly defines you."

He had to know her name before he was sent back, this would aid in his plans.

She had a shy smile, her cheeks flushed at his compliment.

Mr Zhao raised a brow at Nix's behavior, he had originally thought he had a liking to Lumina which was why he had arranged both of them staying in the same dorm, but it turns out that was merely something casual. Now, he felt stupid.

"Sesa." She said in barely a whisper.

"As beautiful as you are." He said with a wink.

He had gotten what he wanted, he was definitely going to take down this note in the scroll, a new addition had been verified.

Ahem!

Mr Zhao cleared his throat, looking back and forth at the two. They obviously shouldn't be thinking of flirting on his watch.

"It would be wise if you could send me back up, I'm sure my fans would be glad to see me. I promise that I shall send them all your best wishes from Zoar." Nix said with a taunt in his voice. He would not be intimidated, he had come too far to be stopped now.

"Fans?" Mr Zhao tilted his head in confusion.

"My fellow students." Nix substituted in frustration. There was no way he was going to explain what that word meant, to them.

"As you wish, you have earned it." Mr Zhao said with a slight bow. He extended a hand to Sesa to take over, "but first, accept this as our apology for the time being."

Nodding her head, Sesa raised her hands, a soft yellow glow started to emerge from them. She directed it towards his feet, gradually it began to heal up.

"That's new." Nix commented, he was impressed, he wouldn't need the healing potion.

"Now that's done." She placed her palms facing one another, the glow gathering and forming into a ball of yellow light.

Throwing it in the air, "To your class it is." She said in a soft voice.

The glowing light dispersed, forcing Nix's eyes closed. As the glowing light disappeared, Nix opened his eyes. He felt like he had just woken from a long sleep.

He had emerged from the very magic circle he had entered.

As he looked around the class, all the rest of the students had their eyes widened at the sight of Nix. Some were in awe and wonder, others were in complete shock and disbelief.

The girl who had called out to Nix earlier, walked up beside him. "I'm glad to see you alive. You had better explain yourself this time." She said in a playful tone. Her hands now rested on her hips.

For one thing, he was glad that she had returned to her usual self instead of the creepy aura and behavior she displayed while looking like she was possessed.

"What happened to your face? Where are your boots?" She gasped in shock.

Nix's hands shot up to his cheek, the dried blood made him frown at the memory of what had caused it. He didn't even bother looking at his legs, he was already over that, it didn't phase him anymore.

"It's nothing special." He shrugged, shoving his hands into his pockets.

His gaze searched the class for Lumina, he wondered where she might have gone for quite some time.

Instead, it landed on the male who had gotten on his nerves earlier.

Walking over to him, he placed his right foot on the table. Leaning forward, he placed his hand on the male student's backrest. "I am glad that you see me. I hope you grovel at your fire god like you are supposed to." He said as his blue eyes gleamed coldly.

The male trembled slightly as he looked up at Nix who loomed over him. His body now felt like it was going into shock, his eyes felt like they were beginning to tear up. "I have no idea what you're talking about." He said quietly.

If anyone could survive Zoar, their rank must have surely surpassed the expectation of the authorities. He wasn't one to be messed with, it would seem.

Nix leaned back, he had taken a step back from the male. "What is your name, it's only fair I know yours, you already know mine, anyways."

He didn't want to end things on a bad note, those who acted the way he did must have other insecurities they are trying to hide and make themselves feel better.

"I can tell you all about me!"

"Pick me!"

"I have a sister who would willingly give her name with a token of appreciation."

"I can tell you mine, I'm sure you'd like my services even if we are of the same gender."

"Do you want to know me in other places?"

"My name could only be heard when I go down on your–"

Nix shook his head, he hadn't still adjusted to his heightened hearing, their whispers getting to him, and from what he heard, he felt like he was going to puke at how shameless the males and females were.

He would need to work on how he could regulate this later on.

"Would you all be quiet?!" He turned in irritation at the others, who widened their eyes, wondering if he had heard them.

"Thank you!" He smiled at the silence that was achieved.

Turning his attention back at the male, he had a smirk, awaiting an answer patiently.
