Author's Reincarnation in a Fantasy Setting

Chapter 69 You Are Messed Up! [2]

69  You are messed up! [2]

"Now, where were we?" he said, turning his face toward Winston.

"Man! Are you crazy? You just injured those two badly; the academy can kick you out for this, you know? No! Leave the academy, what you just did is not normal! No one in their right mind will do that!" he bellowed.

Zero took a good look at Winston's face and then sat on his knees. "Maybe you are right," he said. "I am not in the right state of mind, as of now," he caressed Winston's face as he spoke.

-Slap!

"Tch!"

That caressing turned into a slap in less than a second. Winston didn't expect it and ended up biting his tongue; drops of blood appeared on his lips.

"You see," Zero began.

-Slap!

"I"

-Slap!

"Don't"

-Slap!

"Like"

-Slap!

"It"

-Slap!

"When someone"

-Slap!

"Harms my family"

-Slap!

"There was a guy who tried to force my sister before…but."

-Slap!

"I took care of him."

-Slap!

"But you!"

-Slap!

"Just crossed the line by a landslide."

-Slap!

Each word Zero said was followed by a slap. Winston wanted to fight back but he knew that his chances were low After all, he did see that Zero used magic without an incantation.

Maybe he used the magic circle method since it was the only way you can cast spells this fast. Winston didn't know how he did it, after all, he was still learning that method. On top of that, the spell he used was one they were not taught about in the classes.

Deep in his heart, he knew, that he meddled with the wrong person. He decided to surrender. 'He will beat me up for a while but that's it. He'll leave after taking out this frustration. It's better to bear with it here...I don't wanna fight this guy.' he thought.

"Ugh!"

Standing up, Zero kicked Winston in the chest, causing him to fall back on the group. Then he took a few steps forward and gazed upon the now-on-the-ground Winston.

'D-Damn…What's with this guy?' Winston thought internally.

The look in Zero's eyes was dark, as though staring into the abyss. The expression he had on his face was that of amusement and anger.

"I can't allow that. It's such a pity that I have to let you live after committing such filth but I can't allow you to roam around Anya anymore. You have to leave this academy…and I just remembered a way to do it," said Zero.

Then his eyes caught the sight of the sight of something.

"Those arms…are the same ones from which you touched my sister, right?"

"Huh?"

Winston was stunned.

What does he mean by this? What is he trying to say? Winston thought that this guy was overreacting but soon, he was proven wrong. He was not overreacting, he was serious.

Zero walked close and then pointed his right hand toward Winston. Nothing happened for a while but then…

-Crackle!

"Agghhh! What the hell are you doing? Ahhh! Fuck it hurts! It hurts!"

A crackling sound was heard followed by Winston's pained screams. He rolled on the ground suffering from pain as white fumes formed around both his arms.

The crackling sound that was heard was of freezing. Slowly but surely both of Winston's arms started freezing and turning into ice. The ice spread to the shoulders, the blood inside froze and all the biological activity within his arms stopped.

It was painful, terrifyingly painful! Though the pain went away when his hand fully froze and turned rock solid as he couldn't feel his hands anymore, the period when his hands were going through the freezing process; was worse than death.

All of this was the result of Zero's elemental magic. He used the sub-element ice to freeze Winston's hand.

Now, Winston was huffing badly and gasping for air. It was amazing in itself that he was still alive and conscious.

Then Zero raised his leg up and pointed it at Winston's left arm. He was about to drive a kick-in when he stopped.

"Nah, breaking his leg will probably cause a lot of blood. He can die with that. It'll be a trouble for me then," he mumbled and took back his leg.

But his mind changed again and he kicked Winston, not on his arm but on his face. That kick was enough to vanish the little bit of consciousness left in him, a moment later his lights will turn off.

Before that can happen Zero lifted him up with his collar, bringing his ear close he whispered.

"Since your hands are good as gone now, you will surely be expelled from the academy as you won't be able to do much now. And if don't make you leave then make sure to quit on your own.

But…if you tried to take my name and get me expelled then remember one thing; after leaving this academy I will be out in the world, the same world where you will be. And that time I won't be bounded by any laws to stop me from killing you.

You know what I mean, right? I hope you do."

"Y-You…a-are, messed up!" Winston muttered.

He threw Winston to the ground; the crash caused him to fall unconscious.

Zero then turned toward Emmeric and Wynfir; both of them were still lying on the ground due to their injury.

He walked close to them and as he did, both of them started saying their prayers. Maybe it was their turn now.

Though it was not like that. When Zero reached there he dispelled the elemental magic and the ice shards in their ankles disappeared.

After that he held out his hand, "Don't worry, I won't bite."

'That's a myth,' Emmeric thought as he stood up on his own, without taking Zero's hand.

"What happened to him?" Zero asked as he looked at Wynfir who was still on the ground.

"His lights went out when he saw what you did with Winston."

"I see."

"Anyway, now you go and call someone from the academy for help. Oh! And don't tell them what happened, just tell them that a fight broke out," said Zero.
