Tristan flew into the wall as the two elf bodyguards forced Tristan to the wall.
"Cough...cough….what the f*ck" Tristan muttered in pain as he was still trying to comprehend what happened.
"And what made you think that a royal like me would associate with someone like you?" The elf in the middle, named Guild, said with a grin on his face.
"To be honest, I was looking for you, but it wasn't to make friends with you...…. It was to hire you." Guil said as he walked toward Tristan, and as usual, the crowd flooded the area.
"What the hell do you mean by that…..cough….cough!" Tristan said as he coughed violently, trying to catch his breath.
"Yes, I came to hire you…. You see, I heard you're the last ghoul left, so I said to myself I'd love to torture you as fun, so why don't I own you...…. But of course, I will be paying the sum of 20,000 Velt[1] per hour." Guil explained as he called out the large sum of money in their 1 velt, which is approximately $100. So, 20,000 velt is around $2,000,000. As everyone heard that, they were shocked at the amount. Guil offered Tristan that some of the students were even willing to do it themselves.
"So, whatcha say, will you do it or not?" Guil asked as he patiently smiled and waited for an answer from Tristan.
"I say..... I say...…. F*CK OFF!!!" Tristan retorted in anger as he threw dirt in Guil's eyes.
"I see…. I understand.... I completely understand," Guil calmly says as he leans toward Tristan
And immediately, Guil's lackeys fired a huge, massive gust of wind that smashed Tristan into the ground, making a giant hole where he lay.
"You see, I'm sure you're aware by now that everyone in this entire school is disgusted by your presence!" Guil coldly stated with a smile on his face as he stared down at Tristan from where he laid and soon enough, everyone looked at Tristan lying still and began to laugh as Guil's lackeys continued smashing Tristan further into the ground with their wind magic.
"HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!...… just watching getting beat up like that is enough to make me laugh, you know I knew you wouldn't disappoint, so here" Guil raised his hand signaling his lackey should stop, and then one of them gave him a briefcase, and then Guil opened the briefcase and tossed all the cash in it.
"Now enough of this child play.... Come dance for me, monkey," Guil said with a toxic look on his face that made him look as if he were high.
"Maybe I should…just give up...I'm tired. What the hell should I do?" Tristan asked himself as he lay there watching all the cash fly in the air.
"So Irritating I can't believe you allowed yourself to end up in such a situation," A boy with black hair and red eyes said to Tristan as he slowly squatted down to check if he was alive. The boy's name was Malachi.
Everyone was shocked at Malachi's appearance.
"When did he?...forget that who is he?" Guil asked as he froze at Malachi's presence.
"What who...… are you?" Tristan asked as he looked toward Malachi.
"Me?.... Well, I'm just a student who happened to pass by and was drawn by what was going on, so in other words, I'm just a stranger who happened to stop by."
"What are you not making any sense here?" Tristan said as he struggled to sit up
"Don't worry, I'm not here for you...(he looked at Guil)I'm here for him, "Malachi said as he vanished from everyone's sight. Before Guil could realise Malachi was all up in his face, sizing him up as if he were prey.
"When did he?" Guil said to himself as he quietly looked at Malachi up close.
"I'm surprised you aren't scared ...is it that you're brave or you're just dumb?" Malachi said as he wondered why Guil or anyone around them wasn't cowering in fear.
"Scared...… what is there to be scared of you?...…..in other words, you're supposed to be scared of me because I'm royalty...….and one word from my father will get you expelled, so I suggest—"
"HA HA HA HA HA I see now…. No wonder you're still talking...… I haven't released my mana Yet" Malachi laughed and interrupted Guil before he could finish his statement.
"What is he?" And as Malachi said that to himself, the air around him began to freeze, and black ice surrounded the are and as Malachi looked up He saw an overwhelming amount of mana poured out from Malachi's body. The students around fell to their knees, some fainted, while others were still recording on their phones.
"I see that people are recording this good... Do you know that the next person who even touches that boy will die a cold death by my hand...…do you understand." Malachi said as he froze Guil in place with his black ice.
Guil, on the other hand, was terrified to the point he couldn't even speak, and all he could do was nod his head in a positive response as tears and snot flowed down his face.
Those who were recording quickly posted the video on the internet, and the video went viral.
Meanwhile, Tristan fell Unconscious due to the extreme load of magic that pressurised him.
So Malachi picked him up and carried him to the infirmary.
After 2 days, Tristan jumped up as he woke up from his sleep as if someone had been chasing him in his dream.
"What happened? Where am I ?" Tristan asked as he looked around and saw himself in a gown that oddly resembled those they gave to ill people in the hospital.
"Glad you're awake, you've been out for two days." A nurse who was close by gladly informed on what had happened, and the expression on Tristan's face were that of shock.
