Suddenly the bell rang, concluding what anyone might call a drama, fight or something else like a silent war, which Reada ended with complete domination, along with today's class.

"Well everyone, try doing the next ones on your own at home. We will discuss them tomorrow." Mr Targil quickly said as he started picking his stuff after realising that the bell had rang.

His eyes were worn out and his voice had a despair. He looked tired of all the things that had happened and probably was doubting himself as an adult and a teacher too, since he was left speechless by a kid even though he was just trying to get the attention a teacher deserves in his class. 

He turned around to Rem after picking his stuff, who was standing in the front with frustration on his face. Mr Targil said with a little pet on his shoulder, "well at least you tried, great work. Now go and take your seat." Then he looked up and also told Reada to sit down. 

They both sat down and after that he left.

Time passed and other teachers started coming to take their classes too, according to their time. Reada was slacking on each of those periods and when the teachers tried provoking him, they realised they were just cutting their own throats. It happens 'cause he is smart, and so whenever the teachers ask him a question before punishing him for slacking out he ends up giving the correct answers. Some teachers even avoid interacting with him and just let him be him. Maybe because they have past experience in dealing with him?

It's really hard to tell who is wrong here cuz I've seen how he comes to school. He literally has no interest in school and was forced to come today because of me. But you'll also feel bad after seeing the teachers' faces. So I don't know which side to support.

Shin had told me, "It's just how he is!".

It's lunch break now, and I'm reading 'Eye of Birth', the book I bought yesterday. I don't usually eat at this time of the day so I don't pack any lunch boxes with me. 

"Alvish, how does my arm feel?" Shin asked and stretched out her left arm towards me. She was having lunch on my desk while still sitting on her chair and facing me. Actually she had turned her chair around as the lunch bell rang and so, now has captured my desk.

I held her wrist as she had asked me. It felt fine, like a normal hand does. I honestly don't have any idea why she wanted to know though. Maybe she ain't feeling well? 

"It feels fine I think." I answered.

"Really??" Shin exclaimed with a worried voice, "I should start dieting then"

"Wait- why? I said it's fine." Seriously, why's she worried, she has a nice body anyways.

"No!! It's not, if it doesn't make you say 'OMG! Her hands are so delicate' then it's not!!" She exclaimed again. At the end she didn't finish her lunch and started putting it back together.

"Yeah but don't you think having a bit of strength in your body is good too?" I said.

"It's fine for you since you want to become a defender, a lord. Not for a person like me!!" She said while putting her lunch box in her bag. 

"It's not like lords are dependent on physical strength so why are you bringing that up? I'm talking about normal people." 

"Yeah, they are dependent on shades. I know. That reminds me, which shade do you have?" She totally ignored my words and asked suddenly.

After hearing it I was glad that finally someone at least asked but even though it made me happy, it made me a bit sad too.

"It's called the Eye of Salowon, it allows me to reduce an object's speed!" I wishpered in a low voice.

"Wow, that's so cool! It will really make you a very strong lord" Shin exclaimed after hearing that.

"Yeah, but there's a problem. I can't control them!" I continued in that sad voice of mine.

"What- I mean how?"

"It's just whenever I active my shades, the whole world around me stops moving. Even my own body slows down in time and stops and the only thing that stays left, which doesn't stop in time is my sense, my consciousness." 

I know I'm good looking and I'm quite smarter than average too.

Beauty and intelligence! What else does a person need?

For some the answer can be power. But I have that too, so… for me it's the control over that power.

3 years ago, when I was at the verge of death, about to be hunted by those Qweglers. I had unknowingly activated my shades for the first time. It was my awakening and the whole world around me had stopped. The girl for whom even time had waited that day, so that she could survive and save even more lives in the future in return for that favour, with that power of hers.

That day when One had come to save us. He was so fast that nobody said to have noticed him. It was only by the reports and news that they found out he had come. But I had seen him. And that light of his left eye, 'Eye of Built-incarnestioon', which allows him to create anything out of nothing, also created a will inside of me, of saving people.

Even though it's a mighty power that even stops time all around the world, including my own body. I'll someday definately learn using it!!
