Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System

Chapter 55 Cafe Scuffle

I came rushing out of the steam, my blade in hand, ready to cut through her.

She stumbled backward, nearly tripping over her own ankles as she couldn't believe I was still capable of fighting.

"You did your research, but there are still some things I keep hidden," I smiled, slashing up and… surprisingly being stopped by a long spear made completely from dark purple flames.

"You bitch… I'll destroy you,"

"Oh, how scary,"

…

(Cyrus POV)

I nearly yawned from boredom as I looked at my sister demolish each and every single new opponent of hers, the rest of the student council essentially being useless as they didn't even get the chance to step up and do something.

"I'm leaving," I muttered, getting out of my seat and watching the two shadows stalking me immediately take their leave.

My walk back to their dorms was pretty quiet and peaceful as nobody ever tried to interact with me, so in fact, I decided to have a nice meal at a nearby cafe.

Without the buzzing of my siblings and the annoyance of several other students and staff, I could truly relax and do what I wanted.

Though, of course, it would never be as easy as I had planned.

As soon as I found a nice cafe and sat down at a private table near a window, I ordered a sugary coffee and a singular pastry that I couldn't wait to scarf down.

But, something ruined my appetite as a golden glow slowly waltzed through the front door of the cafe, drawing the attention of a few people.

"Ah, I thought I saw you," The girl smiled before quickly running over to my table and making herself right at home.

Her legs kicked up and leaned against the table rudely, her arrogant aura calling over an attendant who came to not only take her order, but tell her to stop acting like this.

"What? Just get me a coffee, and that's it," The girl announced.

"Please take your feet down," The waiter requested while quickly jotting down the girl's order.

"And if I don't want to-"

I pushed the table forward, causing her to fall back in her seat and then fall back towards the ground beneath her.

As she recovered from this tiny fall, I gave the waiter a nod which allowed him to leave, yet a long breath of exhaustion ran out of his mouth.

"What the hell was that for?!" The girl shouted, standing up and slamming both of her hands on the table, completely ignoring each and every individual glare practically being dug into her face as of now.

"What's got you acting so arrogant?" I asked as she scoffed lightly before sitting back down in her chair, this time just crossing one leg over the other.

"Oh~... Well, if you insist," She smiled, her nose practically growing ten times in size as she gestured for me to come closer.

She placed her hand next to her mouth as she also leaned in, getting ready to whisper whatever has her acting like this.

"I'm not supposed to tell anyone, but I'm somebody like you won't spread such information…."

"Just get on with it,"

"I was invited to join a new generation of swords known as daggers. You could call them shadow swords since they work from the shadows in order to assist the swords and the academy in general… isn't that crazy?" The girl whispered, and my expression just couldn't help but twitch with annoyance.

So I guess they're handing out the title to even clowns now… just what is this woman thinking…

"Good for you," I sighed.

"You don't sound very impressed… you should be praising and worshipping me. I will be the new center of this academy-!" She exclaimed, standing up and nearly announcing this news to the whole world.

So, I quickly covered her mouth with my own hand and sat her back down in her chair with my other hand, slowly dragging the attention away from us.

"Good for you. Now shut the hell up before anybody else hears you," I sighed, my eyes lighting up as I saw my order coming in.

Swiftly, I retrieved the goods and took a big bite of the fluffy yet crunchy pastry, which filled my mouth with utter sweet satisfaction.

To follow up on the amazing bite, I sipped on my cup of coffee, which had been filled to the brim with sugar, filling me with so much happiness that I could completely block out the complaints coming from the girl sitting across from me.

Though this sweet high soon ran out, and I was forced to come to reality with this annoying golden-haired elven girl.

"Can you shut the fuck up for a second and let me enjoy my meal?" I muttered through gritted teeth.

"Then ask why they gave me such bitter coffee!"

"Because you didn't ask for sugar or creamer in it in the first place," I muttered under my breath before turning to the waiter, who seemed to just listen to the girl's complaints but soon filtered them out of their other ear.

Her complaints lasted for a few minutes as a man with a white hat came storming out of the back kitchen and grabbed her by the collar, immediately kicking her out of the cafe.

"If that little turd ever comes back, tell me so I can crush that puny little face of hers!" The man shouted, his muscles bulging out of his tight white shirt.

The rest of the cafe just sat there, watching him slowly walk back into the kitchen, steam coming from his exposed skin which left a hint of sweaty aroma in the air.

Yuck… my coffee tastes like seawater now.

"*sigh*... how much?" I called the waiter back just as he left, and soon, I was on my way back to the dorms but encountered the same problem once again.

"Cyrus! Listen to your senior and get that man to come out of here! Tell him to one on one me fair and square! He caught me off, guard!"

Wails of a narcissistic clown…
