TOFD 30

Lucky 30

When he reached the campus, he was welcomed by the noises of students. The entrance, as always, was packed with people. Calix found his way to his locker, few girls glanced at him but Calix was interested. He opened his locker and took the stuff he needed.

'Now that I think about it, I can use my power now so I can enroll in Practical Term Attribute Guide subject.'

He said to himself, he deciphered his power although he couldn't control it. So it seemed like he won't learn anything anyway. That subject was about how to master the control of your Term Attribute, it won't help him.

'Our predecessors used their own ways to control and decipher their Term Attributes, I will follow their style and make my own path.'

He nodded, agreeing to his decision. He closed his locker and turned around. Then he heard that people were starting whispering, Calix furrowed his brows and realized why they were talking.

A goddess descended on the campus, red hair, crimson fierce eyes, and cold expression. Scarlett walked into the hallway with her head high up, she looked ahead not caring about the admiration aimed at her.

However, while she was passing through the hallway, her eyes glanced towards Calix. It was a just second but Calix smiled at that gesture. Scarlett continued walking as if nothing happened.

'It's good that she agreed to my decision. It's better this way. People will turn to her if they found that she was dating me. I don't want to burden her.'

Things would go south if the school found that Scarlett and Calix were a thing. They might go crazy and do dangerous stuff.

"Hey, have you heard about it? Apparently Scarlett came back to the dorm with bruises around her neck."

Calix almost choked as he heard the people talking about Scarlett. It seemed like someone saw her when she returned to the dormitory.

"Really!"

"Yeah, she was blushing."

"Tch, these stupid people. Whatever you think, it's entirely wrong. Scarlett practiced the whole day and she had bruises because of that. Tch, pathetic people, if you want to make stories make sure it's believable. Why don't you copy Scarlett's perseverance instead of doing these pathetic excuses? You dimwit and lazy assholes."

Calix almost choked again. Wow, he was not sure who said that but it was definitely a roast. Those people were burned, their faces flushed red in shame. They started moving and attending their classes while bowing their heads. [The shadow who said those roasting words started vanishing and no one noticed it.]

As for Calix, he went to the library just like always. He didn't have the backlash now but it would be awkward if he showed his face to the class. He never attended any class after the incident of the class burning…

He reached the library and greeted the library just like always. Usually, the librarian would only nod at him but it was different now. The woman widened her eyes as she saw him, she was shocked.

"H- Hello!"

She stuttered and bowed her head. She didn't know why she did that. Calix was too absorbed so he didn't see her returning the greeting and just continued walking towards his usual spot- the farthest corner.

He sat on the chair and started folding the book that he was currently reading. And the book was about Excalibur, the legendary blade. He was enthusiastic to read it because he heard that King Arthuria Pendragon had an uncontrollable Term Attribute just like him.

"… but it's still a mystery about his gender. Some say she's a woman while others say he's a man. It was unclear. People say that her gender was hidden because of some reason. Maybe he's a trap? Or perhaps a femboy? Futa?"

Calix didn't know. Still, the story regarding him/her was fascinating. Arthuria fought seven Dragon-Class Aberrants and won. It was a legendary moment in history. However, his/her sword(Excalibur) was destroyed in that battle, and the fragments scattered across the world.

Right now, only a few of the fragments were found. Each fragment had unlimited energy to power on an artifact. It was an endless energy supply that each country begged to have. Right now, their country had two of them, and one of them was used to power the Obice, the nationwide barrier that protects them from any attacks.

The Obice was built two hundred years ago and it was still faithfully doing its job. The reason why no flying-type Aberrants attacked their country was because of Obice. It was the protector of their country.

As for the second fragment that their country possesses, he heard that it was used for some research-related stuff.

"Hey, are you Calix?"

Calix's reading time was disturbed when a huge man talked to him. He closed the book and looked up, he was surprised to see a 7-foot man standing before him. The man had fierce eyes and looking at him ready to punch his face. Behind the huge man were bad-looking men.

Calix looked around and realized that the students started leaving. Even the librarian who wanted to talk to them was stopped by another man.

Calix tilted his head.

"You looking for me?"

He asked. He faced different types of thugs so he was not afraid of them. Although something was not right...

'I thought my power will prevent any thugs to attack me without proper reasons. Is my understanding wrong? Did I miss something?'

[What he missed was that these people are not thugs. They are the people that Young Master Chen hired to destroy his face. Young Master Chen spied Scarlett and he found that Scarlett stayed the night in his room. Young Master Chen was fuming in anger as he imagined many things that night. He felt the feelings of a man being cuckold.]

"Let's talk outside."

The giant gestured and Calix followed them. They were releasing killing intent and so was Calix. If they attacked him, then he would bring it back twice.

'Let's see if my power is doable to combat.'
