Fate Of The Twelve (Completed)

Chapter 8: Collapse

       "Reading that book, what got into your head?" My little brother asked me as we sat in the dining hall, waiting for Leirum for us to begin eating in the dining hall.

        "Curiosity." Leirum who just came in answered the question for me. This guy has some habbit of appearing without a warning and saying something or answering a question.

        He walked and sat down at the end of the table. "You thought of what I said Yesterday and decided to research on it didn't you?" He asked me and all I could do was nod.

         Cyan was sitting by my right side, Kevin on my left. I don't know why but my head was throbbing painfully without a reason.

          "Let's not talk about it and just start eating already! I'm hungry!" Ryouta whined like a kid, making us laugh and we started eating.

         Pretty soon, the thoughts about fallen angels fell at the back of my brain. I had more important things to take care and prioritize as of now.

         Damn. Tomorrow is the duel yet I still can't stop downing myself. The hell? In every angle you make look at the situation you'll see big bold words screaming that it is impossible for me to win at all.

         As much as I wanted to be optimistic, I couldn't bring myself to do so. I'm in so much trouble and I don't know how to handle it.

        I only possess the power of telekinesis and that girl whom I'm supposed to fight has three. How am I supposed to win?!

      In no time, we were finished eating and we were about to break apart in the hallways when Rex spoke up.

          "Muriel. I have something to give you, Leirum specifically has something for you I mean." He stated and we all turned to look at him. I was curious as to what he has to say and what Leirum has to give.

       The first ranker was just standing between Rex and Cyan, he didn't seem to be in the mood to do the explaining so it was Cyan who did it for him while Rex had his eyes closed and just listened.

          "You see Muriel, Leirum observed that something was wrong about your hold of a sword and that it unbalanced you. A sword, It didn't seem the right weapon for you." The cyan haired guy explained, making my eyes wide open.

        So that was what felt wrong when we were training! The question is, how the hell did Leirum come to that deduction?

         "I just know it. Observing warriors and people who train with different kind of weapons, I would notice that." Leirum answered calmly. Yah! How did he know what I was thinking?!

            "Your expression is just pretty obvious." Is he a mind reader?

           "I am but I don't need to use that on you since your expression says all that is needed." Damn. This guy lies, he has got to be reading my mind.

          "I'm telling you, I'm not." He said irritatedly. Before I could speak to argue, Cyan continued on speaking.

         "As I was saying, a single sword isn't the proper weaponry for you." He stated. My forehead creased as I got a hint of where they were going to.

          "By the words a single sword, you're saying that I need more than one?" I asked questioningly.

           "You got it right. A twin sword is likely to suit you better." Rex continued on as he held two sheathed swords from somewhere. The hilt and the sheathe were exactly the same. Twin swords...
