Chapter 58 Hot neighbor?
Kan looked around, wondering what to do but by surprise the girl who appeared momentarily incapacitated suddenly pushed Kan on the chest with her hand, causing Kan to fall on his butt, then she dragged herself to the corner of the stairs and began to do something weird.
"Helayi... Bentaki!!" The girl chanted and suddenly, a blue hue enveloped her hand. The hue was radiant and with the glowing hand, she lifted it and placed against her forehead while the whole time, she maintained a steady gaze at Kan with her bloodied face.
In matter of moments, the glow died down but so did something else.
"Huh? She stopped bleeding?" Kan thought, observing the outpour of blood from her forehead had stopped.
The girl cleaned her face with her palms before getting up and looking around as if she lost something. The whole time, ignoring kan's presence.
Kan stood up as well staring at the girl with a mixture of confusion and intrigue.
"Sorry, I didn't see you coming.." Kan said awkwardly as he knew the damage had already been done.
However, staring at the girl then, it didn't seem as though it was a lasting one. He could see her wound was apparently closed and all bleeding had stopped.
"Neither did I, mistakes happen, don't they?" She replied ever so casually. The girl Kan bumped into was about his height, and her appearance immediately caught his attention. She wore a school shirt and skirt, both in dark colors, giving her a slightly rebellious and edgy look. A black tie adorned her neckline, perfectly aligned and contributing to her overall stylish ensemble.
What stood out most was her choice of accessories. A pair of headphones, which she had picked up from the ground after the collision, now hung securely around her neck, adding a touch of individuality to her appearance. Her clothing was a testament to her sense of personal style and a hint of nonconformity.
Her makeup was as striking as her attire. She sported black lipstick that matched her dark aesthetic, and her eyelids were adorned with black eyeshadow, adding an air of mystery to her captivating gaze. Her makeup enhanced her features, lending an almost ethereal quality to her appearance.
Her hair, a sleek black that fell just to her neck, framed her face with an air of confidence. There was something alluring about her, an aura of quiet strength that was both intriguing and enigmatic. A crescent-shaped necklace adorned her neck, a simple yet symbolic accessory that seemed to complement her overall demeanor.
"Right, mistakes do happen. I'm sorry still, I should have been more careful," Kan went on to say after giving her a quick check.
"Here, let me help you with that," the girl said, approaching Kan with her hands out. She chanted the same spell all over again "Helayi... Bentaki!!". And just like before, a blue hue enveloped her hand. She then came close to Kan, stretching her hand, she grazed the tip of kan's lips with her fingers.
Instantly, Kan felt a chilling sensation around his lips region and before he knew it, it was all gone. Kan stared with awe at the strange girl he had never seen before.
"Kanakan, right?" The girl said with a brief smile causing Kan to raise an eyebrow. And just as though she could read his mind, she offered a quick explanation. "I live here too..." She gestured, pointing upwards. Kan hearing this nodded.
"Nora..my name's Nora," the girl introduced herself.
"Yeah, I know tha.. I mean, not the best way to meet a pretty girl like you but all the same, nice to meet you Nora,," kan said awkwardly with a warm, charming smile.
"It's nice to meet you too Kanakan, how's your mother?" Nora asked. Kan found this odd of a question to ask as he wasn't sure Nora and his mother had any links. Her name surely would have popped up somehow. Yet, there were other things that had taken him by surprise as well. So it was possible she did have links with his mother.
"She's fine," Kan answered briefly, trying hard to move away from the topic, he went on to say...
"It was nice meeting you again, Nora. And I'm sorry for your head but I got school now and have to leave. See you around Nora!" Kan said, bidding her farewell and turning down the stairs to hurry out of the apartment building.
This time however, a little slower so as not to kill anyone.
"Nora ayy? Let's have a look at her profile information once again. It did pop up the moment I touched her and that was how I knew her name way before she mentioned it,"
[Forget her name. You disappoint me! How could you leave her like that without getting to know which apartment she lives in or better still having a view of her ass as she walks away?!!!] Hela berated Kan.
"You know, you are really a bad influence" Kan chuckled as he continued his way down the stairs.

Kan's hurried steps echoed down the empty hallway as he raced from the bus, the urgency in his pace palpable. The fluorescent lights hummed their monotonous reminder of time slipping away.
His breath grew ragged with every step, the weight of the moment pressing down on him. The corridor seemed to stretch endlessly, challenging him to reach his destination. He tightened his grip on his backpack, a silent gesture of determination.
At last, he arrived at the doorway of his elementary class. He took a deep breath, exhaling slowly before stepping inside. However, the silence that greeted him was far from comforting. The room seemed to hold its breath, the atmosphere thick with an unspoken tension.
Miss Katherine's gaze met his as she stood at the front of the class, her expression firm but not unkind. The stillness of the room magnified the gravity of his tardiness. The eyes of his classmates briefly flicked his way before returning to their work.
"Care to explain why you are late? Also, you were absent yesterday. Anything I should know about" Miss Katherine asked, her face a showing only professional at work.
