My Sword has to Talk!

CH.7 - Back to Boring School

The doctor drove me to school; now that I think about it. Is my school life going to change? After joining this organization? I don't actually, but I would like it if it remained boring.

I got out of the car and carried my sword. Of course, I wrapped it in some cloth. But concealing its size and shape might be a problem. My classmates and other students of the schools are looking weirdly at me. But even with the gazes I received, I just ignored them.

“Why are they looking at you!? Do they have a problem, kid!” The sword yelled telepathically.

“Just ignore them, mister sword.”

“Hey kid, have you been a loser all of your life.”

“Why do you ask, mister sword?”

“Just as I thought you are truly a loser. Hahaha, this amusing to see.”

Even my sword is mocking me for my loser-otaku lifestyle. Now I also have to hear my sword's mocking words, other than the bullies in school.

But as Marcus minded his own business, a student suddenly blocks his path. Along with other students, that seems to be the student's goons that stopped Marcus' way. “Well! Well! What do we have here?” The student has an athletic body, black hair, and brown eyes.

“What do you want, Brent? Class is about to start, so can I please pass.”

“Fine, here you go, Marcus.” Brent turns slightly to the left and opens the path again, allowing Marcus to pass. But as Marcus walked by him, he trips Marcus down by using his right feet. However, instead of falling, Marcus avoided embarrassing himself by doing a flip.

Brent, his goons, and the other students noticed this had a dumbfounded look written on their faces. Meanwhile, Marcus was in disbelief at what he had just done. However, the sword spoke to Marcus and said, “Let's kill all of these punks, Marcus. To teach them a lesson.”

“Mister sword! Please, let's ignore them. I don't wanna have trouble with them anymore.”

“Tsk! You're a coward, Marcus!”

After that, Marcus continued on his way to his classroom. However, behind him was Brent glaring at him along with his goons.

“What should we do now, Brent? It seems our toy seemed to escaped that one?” Asked one of Brent's goons.

“Let him be for now. We will get him next time.”

After that, Brent also went to his classroom, along with his goons. But as they were walking toward their classroom, Brent was thinking about Marcus' movements before.

“How could Marcus be that agile. He has always been sloppy; those movements are very unnatural.”

Marcus arrives at his room, where he went straight toward his desk. But as he takes his seat, a male classmate walks towards him. Marcus was quite surprised as some of his classmates rarely walks towards him to talk.

“Hey, Marcus, are you ok?”

Wait, why is he asking me if I'm ok? Did something happen? Why is he nice to me? Wait, why are my other classmates walking towards me.

“Marcus, we heard that your house was broke in by armed burglars. It must have been a traumatic experience for you. Seeing those burglars get killed.”

Wait, burglars!? What the hell is happening!? And what is this about me seeing burglars get killed?..

“Haaaaa!”

“Marcus, calm down!” Yelled one of his classmates after hearing Marcus scream. “Everything is alright now; there are no burglars anymore. You're at school now.” The classmate added to his previous statement.

However, in reality, Marcus was not traumatized at all by burglars. The scream was him remembering something Big C's words about planting evidence to avoid people's attention about the real situation.

“Marcus' you must have been through a lot. Hearing your scream proves the hardships you went through.”

Technically what I encountered was far scarier than a burglar. Even more traumatic if you ask me if I didn't have mister sword with me. But I guess I have to go along with this lie. Big C probably wouldn't be too happy even if a single piece of information about the organization comes out. Now, let's play along with the lies that the organization has created.

“Guys, you shouldn't worry about it too much. I already went through therapy. So I'm fine; you guys don't need to worry about me.”

“Oh, is that so!” One of Marcus' classmates spoke. Then the others suddenly lost interest and went back to their respective seats.

Marcus was so shocked at how they lost interest in such a quick. Even his sword was shocked by this.

“They immediately lost interest, Marcus, huh? It looks like nobody cares about you, kid.”

“Do you have to tell me that once again, mister sword?”

But as this was going on, a person was spying on their room. This person heard everything that just happened about Marcus. However, what he heard was the lies that the hunter organization wanted people to believe. Marcus's sword had noticed the presence of the person. However, the sword decided not to tell Marcus about it, even though he felt that the person was there with malicious intent towards Marcus. However, the sword that the person with the malicious intent was weak.

Marcus's sword was utterly confident that Marcus can defeat them. Especially with the current state of Marcus, who has now possessed superhuman abilities.

Marcus has stayed in school for an entire eight hours usually. This normal situation was a blessing for Marcus, as this was what he always wanted. Marcus now prepares to go home. He was putting all of his stuff inside his bag.

After that, he went straight to the exit of the classroom. However, as he opened the door, he was greeted by a student that belongs to the goons of Brent.

“Uhm, do you need something?”

“Marcus, Brent wants to talk to you at the back of the gym.”

“Why is that?”

The goon let out a sigh before replying, “Brent wanted to apologize. He said he was insensitive to what he did this morning. Especially with what happened to you.”

Marcus was surprised by this. However, he knew what the goon was about to do to him if he refused to come along. So Marcus followed the goon out of fear. Marcus's sword, on the other hand, was very frustrated with how he was acting.

But the sword did not want to remind Marcus about his ability. He wanted to test Marcus on how he will use the power on such people. Or will Marcus even realize that he was not the loser from before? The loser who cannot defend himself, the loser who avoided any contact with others.

Upon arriving at the gym, Marcus got kicked from behind by the goon. “Ouch! Why the hell did you do that?”

But as Marcus looks behind the goon, who has now worn a mask Balaclava. Then other people wearing the same mask carrying knives with them. Marcus felt scared, not of the people but the blade they were holding.

“Uhm, Brent, this is not funny.”

“Were here to steal your money. Give us everything you have, or else it's night, night for you.”

Marcus suddenly realized something about the guys. No, Marcus realized what was going on. Marcus let out a disappointed sigh.

I thought they were here for an apology. It looks like these guys believed that I have trauma from burglars. They don't know that I have seen worst things than burglars.

“Hey, Brent, can I go now? I thought you were here to apologize. And not to poke fun at someone's trauma.”

“Too bad, Marcus, but you are not allowed to leave. Until we have our FUN!” Brent rushes towards Marcus, pointing a knife.

Is he planning to stab me! What should I?..do?

“ Why the hell is his movements slow,” Marcus spoke as he evades the knife on Brent's hand.

Brent was shocked to see that Marcus dodge his fake attack. He wasn't planning on stabbing Marcus. However, his ego suddenly took over after being unable to crush and make Marcus feel fear, causing Brent to become an angered individual.

So Brent rushed towards Marcus with the will to stab. Meanwhile, his goons started to get scared as they planned to scare Marcus and not stab him. So they all rushed toward to stop Brent.

However, out of nowhere, a screeching scream suddenly echoed in the gym. It caused everyone inside to stopped on what the people were doing. They immediately searched for the source of the sound. And what the students saw was someone that they cannot believe was staying in such a place.

They saw a beautiful adult woman who is wearing a mask. Then out of nowhere, the woman disappeared in their front. But then appeared behind Brent. It has scared the other students or Brent's goon. However, Brent, who was still controlled by his anger, was not scared of the woman that seemed to teleport behind him.

Brent looked at the woman and asked, “Who are you!? You're not a teacher, here!”

The beautiful masked woman did answer Brent. But asked him a question. “Young man, am I beautiful?”

Brent had a confused look written on his face after being questioned by the woman.

“Marcus! Tell that Brent guy to run away from her! That's a monster!” Mister Sword Yelled!

After hearing this, Marcus yelled to Brent, “You guys run away! She's dangerous!”

“Damn it! Why did I feel her presence before? A monster that can hide her presence is something that I have never encountered.” The sword spoke unto himself as Marcus unwraps him.
