Chapter 93 - A Taste Of Your Own Medicine (1)
On the second floor, in B rank dorms...
"It's been awfully quiet for the last couple of days, hasn't it?" Luke Wami, one of Nick's roommates mumbled as the three of them got ready to sleep.
There was nothing extraordinary about Luke, at least it would seem like that to those who didn't know him or his background. The fact that Nick chose him to be one of his roommates was telling of itself. After all, Nick would not have chosen a nobody to stay with him.
Standing at 5'7", The redheaded Luke had a cheerful persona and charming looks which made him popular amongst other students, and even some professors had taken a liking to him. But his charisma wasn't the only thing about him.
He was on his way to becoming an illusionist. A rare class among the werewolves who had the Blue blessing. Illusionism ran deep within Luke's family and all of them were trained to become an illusionist from the young age of two years. Thus, he was confident he would become an illusionist after achieving his class selection.
"How can it not be?" Nick scoffed as his servants left the room after making his bed, "I got forced that bastardly mutt to learn a lesson after all. You should have seen his face when he got punished. Haha!"
Although the B rankers were not allowed to have personal servants to help them out, Nick was made an exception as he was under 'house arrest'. Thus, Nick and his roommate had been enjoying their time inside their room.
As for their third roommate, he hadn't joined the academy yet. He had been enrolled and took the exam, but since then he went back to his family estate to sort out some family mess.
"Yeah. It was about time that idiot learnt his place." Luke shook his head, "He thought just because he stole the S rank, he could do whatever he wanted against the nobles."
"I couldn't agree more. Pass me some water will you?"
"Looks like we're out... tsk, what were the servants even doing!" Luke mumbled in annoyance, "Wait, let me see if there's anyone outside."
Luke walked outside only to discover that the lights of the entire corridor were out. Thanks to that, not a single thing was visible.
'What the heck is going on here? The lights are never out.' Luke was a bit worried, 'Also, where are the servants? They couldn't have gone far.'
The next moment he felt something behind him. He turned around, but before he could do anything, he was promptly kicked in the side of his head knocking him out. Just like the servants had been.
'How many people did this fcker, had in his room.' Ashton thought as he dragged Luke's unconscious right next to those of the servants, 'I sabotaged the lights on a whim, but it would have been impossible to do all of this without getting spotted had the lights been on.'
After dropping Luke, Ashton used his perception one last time to check whether there were more people inside the room or not. After making sure that Nick was alone in the room, Ashton made his move.
"About damn time, Luke. Put the water next to my bed, will you?"
Nick had his back turned towards the gate, so when Ashton entered the room, he assumed it was Luke.
"Why are you so quiet all of a- who the hell are you?"
"..."
Ashton didn't utter a word. Although his appearance had changed, his voice had not. Also, there were cameras in the room, which had been installed to make sure Nick did not violate his 'house arrest'. If Ashton said anything, it would get recorded and he would be easily identified, which he couldn't afford.
"Are dumb or what? I asked you a question! Who are you and where is Luke!?" Nick was visibly getting agitated,
Nick was making a lot of noise now. Ashton could not have wasted any more time. He lunged at Nick, who was taken by surprise as he didn't expect anyone would dare to attack him in broad daylight. The second moment, Ashton had him pinned on the ground with one of Nick's arms in his hand.
"Y-You bastard! Do you know who I am- AAHHHH!"
Nick let out a bloodcurdling scream as Ashton popped his shoulder open. A large part of his Collar bone was also sticking out of his skin as blood trickled down from his shoulders. Ashton quickly let go of him.
He had only wanted to dislocate his shoulder, but it appeared that he underestimated his own strength.
'Fck, this bastard would alert everyone. I gotta leave!'
Ashton's plan for taking proper revenge was about to go down the drain but he had to keep his identity a secret, he had to leave. However, it would appear Nick had different plans.
The moment Ashton was about to leap out of the window, Nick fought through his pain and kicked Ashton off his feet.
"Where do you think you're going!!!" Nick's eyes had turned red with rage the rage and pain he was feeling.
'How he fck is doing this!?'
Ashton was shocked. Pieces of bones were still sticking out of his shoulder, and it was evident Nick was in pain. Still, he was ready to fight him? The hell was wrong with this bastard's head!
Ashton heightened his [Perception], he could feel half a dozen people were rushing towards them. They must have heard Nick's scream.
'Judging by their speed, it would take them a couple of minutes to get here.' Ashton calmed himself down, 'If I want to escape I'll have to wrap it up within a minute.'
"You did not think this through, did you?" Nick said with a sadistic smile on his face, "Were you foolish enough to-"
Ashton knew exactly what Nick was trying to do. Waste his time till someone arrived for backup, and Ashton wasn't about to let that happen. he lept over Nick's injured shoulder and punched him on the chin with all his might.
The placement wasn't the best as Ashton hastily attacked him, but it was enough to stagger the noble asshole.. While Nick tried to recover, Ashton quickly jumped out of the window and disappeared into the darkness.
