Chapter 37 36. Uncharted.
Isha left after eating food leaving me behind with Vinny, Jiwoo, Katharine and Violet.
"Hello, I'm Eshwar Frost. I'll be your professor from today, it's nice to meet you guys." I introduced again, smiling brightly.
"Che." Vinny scoffed.
"..." Jiwoo remained silent.
"Hmm~ hello Eshwar." Katharine hummed happily.
"Hello Sir, I'm Violet Tyler." Violet introduced herself again and offered a hand shake.
I shook her hand and glanced at the others.
"Uhk.." the pain appeared again.
"Are you okay?" Violet asked.
"Yes, yes." I smiled brightly.
'Why again?'
"Anyway, I'll leave now, bye, see you guys tomorrow." I said and walked away from the table.
'Maybe.... Hmmm ..... the days I was unconscious counts too..... that's a new unfortunate find.'

I walked to the office room allocated to me as a professor, texting Isha.
Isha: [Staff room number 203.]
[Thank you, but do you get a separate room?]
Isha: [No, I went back to the hotel room.]
[You can use this office, I don't think I would be using it much.]
Isha: [No, that's not it, I will get a room for myself but it will in the cadets quarters.]
Isha: [And, you will be there too, the office room is called a 'office room' for a reason.]
[Can't you just say it at once. Do you really have pick on me like this?]
Isha: [...]
[What's that supposed to mean?]
Isha: [Anyway....]
[Don't send a [...] If you don't want to answer, it's a chat and I took it as you wanted ridicule me.]
'I just imagined what it would have been like if she was in front of me and her mischievous smile.'
Isha: [.... So you do understand. (Good job)]
"really?" I blurred out.
[Anyway I reached the room, bye.]
Isha: [Bye. (good boy)]
[I mean, I'm supposed to be your superior and not a pet...]
Isha: [Ho, how smart! Good, good.]
[.....]
'I think not replying would be better.'
Isha: [I take as you agreeing to be a pet. Good boy.]
"Guh, god dammit."
CLANK
The room was as big as my hotel room but filled with a book shelf, a desk, sofa, table and glass wall which displayed the outside. The sun was already setting, Light turned on as soon as I walked in, there were many defence safety artifacts installed the walls.
"Oh, this is literally a office 'office.'"
I was surprised because a certain someone put a armchair in front of leg rest and said that it was office, not that I hated it, it's just that the feeling of a personal office is different.
"Ukh..." I groaned in pain because this time pain completely enveloped my body not just my head and mana started to seep out of me.
"Uhk, calm down." I took deep breaths and calmed down a bit.
"The f**k?"
[Urgent!!]
I sent a message, sat down on chair, closed my eyes and fully focused on controlling the mana which was seeping out of me.
*
"Guh." Pain crucified with time, I did't know how much time had passed since I closed my eyes.
DING
My smartwatch rang, I grabbed it and quickly checked the notification.
[Come out.]
I calmed down just by looking at the notification. I noticed that the sun was already down, pain washed over me again.
"Gaaa." I groaned in pain, held my head. I started to get dizzy, placed my hand on the wall to stop myself from falling on my knees, I just need to get out of here and I'll be fine.
CRACK
"Huh?" I turned towards the wall, it was starting to crack behind my palm and noticed that the mana seeping out of me was now visible to a certain degree.
"I just hope nobody gets scared while I walk out of here." Mana was oozing out like killing intent, it started to increase in pressure.
'Oh, f**k!!' I cursed my bad luck and ran out of the academy.
I quickly passed through the corridors, lucky for me, nobody was in the corridors or they would have been scared beyond belief. I was almost out of the academy when I noticed a shady looking man across the street wearing a cap, mask, glasses, black hoodie and black track pants.
"What's that crazy basta*d doing?" I mumbled.
The guards were on guard while looking at him. I took out my keys and clicked on the summon button as I walked out of academy.
The guards flinched at my arrival, I ignored them and walked towards the shady guy.
VROOOM
My bike drove itself towards me. I sat on it and drove towards him.
"Why are you dressed like that?" I asked him while cringing.
"Eh? Is it that bad?" he asked.
"Yea, you could easily be misjudged as a smuggler."
"Eh? Che, that phycho told me to dress like this." He grumbled and removed his hat, mask and glasses.
He was 6 feet tall with wide shoulders, he had messy dark green hair, grey cat with sharp facial features, he was a good looking guy and his name was Henry Hale.
He is the left brain of our group of 5 which is 'UNCHARTED,' he is not suited for head on battles. He is the information expert, assassin and my friend, simple word for him would be smarta*s.
'UNCHARTED' name, simply because we are not registered heroes and when I suggested it everybody happily agreed because they were too lazy to pick another cringey a*s name.
He brought his hand towards my body and opened subspace while making it not visible to the other people around us.
"Well, here is your cigar, what the f**k have you been doing for your mana to oozing out like that?" he raised his brows and handed me a cigar.
I held the cigar in my mouth and lit it with magic, I puffed it twice and mana leaking out started to calm down.
"Haa, I don't know what happened too." I said as I puffed again.
"The rest of'em is with them, I only bought one because you said it was urgent." He continued.
"Anyway, let's go, those crazy basta*ds will be going to the arena now." He said he hoped on the bike.
VROOOM
"I think they will join us on the way." He said as he leaned on my shoulder from behind.
"Wear your helmet, your hair..... Nevermind." I remembered his messy hair and decided that it wouldn't make much difference because he too didn't care for his hair, just like me.
