The Only Delicacy

Just as Sir Charles was about to finally ease his raging bloodlust and commit murder in the next instant without anyone noticing, including the baby cupid, Kyle looked up at the clock, pulled away from her embrace and hastily fixed her dishevelled uniform until it looked appropriate before he ran out of the clinic and was anxiously dragged away by Scarlet.

After quite some time, another set of footsteps could be heard across the hallway.

Those irregular footsteps gradually increased in volume as it neared the clinic's perimeter before softening again.

Indeed, those inconsistent and wobbly footsteps belonged to none other than the excited old nurse, Mathilda.

"No wonder…" As Kevin slightly chuckled over some memories he had recalled, Mathilda excitedly and greatly sped up her pace despite the excruciating pain, and in the next couple of seconds, she had reached the clinic's door and peeked inside her own workplace in a sneaky manner.

"Ack!" But before the old nurse could do anything, Mathilda yelled out in pain while lying down on the floor, which immediately brought back Kevin's attention to reality.

As Kevin gently helped the old nurse to the bed, Sir Charles never realized that the small dagger he had held so meticulously had simply hanged into thin air all this while.

Sir Charles also never realized that he was frozen into place again, all because of those two brats' prompt actions occurring out of the blue.

After a second when Kevin had brought the old nurse inside, Sir Charles finally realized his next precarious action and immediately hid back that deadly dagger that had killed more than a hundred thousand lives inside his pocket, making it seem as if everything that had happened several seconds ago was just an illusion.

After he brought his hand out of his pocket, Sir Charles shifted his gaze out onto the hallway.

Even though Scarlet and Kyle were now out of his sights, he still continued to nonchalantly but seriously stare at that direction.

His blood lust was already eased and his stunning face was still as blank as a plain paper.

However, his brown eyes staring out into that direction seemed as deep as an abyss and one of his free hands were instinctively and slightly clenching until veins had become slightly visible.

After some casual thinking, Sir Charles immediately casted away those useless thoughts as if they weren't there in the first place and simply went on to his next class, which included his target and that irksome brat.

After a couple of moments, Sir Charles finally arrived some steps away from the door of his next class that was currently busy with creating too much of a ruckus. From his perspective, he clearly saw the two individuals standing in front of him while holding hands in a seemingly affectionate manner.

'Ding, ding, ding!...'

As he secretly used all of his efforts to hold on to those remaining pieces of self-control that were about to shatter at the next moment, the bell finally rang, which greatly helped him in bringing back and mending all the other pieces of self-control that had already shattered.

As soon as Scarlet and Kyle took their seats, Sir Charles nonchalantly went inside the classroom right exactly according to the class' schedule.

'Phuuuu…'

At once, the whole noisy classroom became deadly silent starting from the very first step he had made before reaching the platform. Only the soft and gentle breeze could be heard from the window.

As soon as he stood on the platform, Sir Charles started his discussion right away while constantly signalling at those two lovebirds to stop their public display of affection, which was holding hands amidst his discussion.

Rather than saying it was due to how inappropriate it looked or how disrespectful it seemed, it would be more accurate to say that it was both unpleasant and irritating!

If that brat kept advancing at his target, Sir Charles was not sure anymore if he could continue holding and keeping that bloodlust within. He finally realized that he could not ignore this unprofessional and annoying fact.

When Scarlet noticed her teacher's warning glance towards her direction, she immediately understood what he had meant and signalled Kyle to let go. However, since he did not bother to let go or look back at her, Scarlet tried pulling her hand away, to which was all for naught since he did not even budge once.

Contrary to her expectations, her hand was only clutched more tightly and placed inside Kyle's own pocket.

Since that unpleasant public display of affection was finally gone, but through another method that seemed more irritating and more unpleasant to his eyes, Sir Charles had no more excuses to use in order to keep sending out that warning glance towards them.

Hence, he sadly had no choice but to bear with that surging bloodlust and simply concentrated on his discussion.

However, through one corner of his eyes, Sir Charles clearly saw his target's plainly visible hurt expression and the wounds on both of her elbows gradually opening and stretching while bleeding some more.

"Understood?" Sir Charles instinctively avoided looking at that rebellious and obnoxious brat as he calmly asked the students without expecting any answer in return.

At once, the whole classroom immediately became deadly silent.

The students became frightened to the extent that they had no choice but to be immediately nod and pretend to be deadly serious in listening to his discussion.

Needless to say, Sir Charles was excellently teaching the students in a calm and professional manner. However, he never realized that the rampant bloodlust surging inside him incessantly raged all the more, to the point that less than 0.000001% of his intimidating and furious aura was now unleashed!

If even an experienced assassin found this intimidating, how much more for these poor and inexperienced students?

Thankfully, the two lovebirds were amidst their own problems, so they were completely unaffected.

'Ding, ding, ding!...'

After two long and stressful hours had finally passed, the bell rang to signify break time, which made all of the students grasp for air or let go of their breaths for they felt as if they had held their breaths for a very long time!

"Ah!" But right after their hearts and minds had relaxed, Kyle angrily dragged Scarlet out of the classroom, thereby making Scarlet silently yell out in pain and making their peaceful minds clouded with confusion, excitement, or worry once more.

However, Sir Charles immediately broke their thoughts and interrupted their conversations as he said sternly, "Reminder. The deadline of the main project is today. Aside from those who are done like Scarlet and Kyle, those who can't pass will immediately fail this subject for their midterm grade."

At once, those relieved students found themselves holding back their breaths, forgetting their past thoughts, and intensely focusing onto their studies as if their lives depended on it.

Only these two thoughts came into their minds as they worked, "How and why did the project's deadline of tomorrow move to today? What did they even do to deserve this?!"

Meanwhile, Sir Charles simply and leisurely sat on his seat, leaned back onto the chair and then looked out onto that slightly open door without even batting an eye or thinking of being more considerate towards these unfortunate students.

Sir Charles was too focused on that door and on his thoughts that he never even bothered to reprimand that one student, Nene, who was trying to sneak her way out of the door by merging into one with the background.

Hence, Nene successfully sneaked out without anyone noticing except for the teacher, and continued fulfilling her new-found mission for the day, which was given even more priority than her own grades.

'Ding, ding, ding!'

After one and a half hour had passed, classes finally ended and the bell rang once more to signify dismissal time, thereby saving a new batch of students from more stress and pressure from their perfectionist and intimidating teacher.

This time, since Sir Charles simply left while carrying the pile of projects on one hand, the students of the last class were more lucky than the one before them as they were officially saved without any changes or last-minute deadlines!

They did not have to lengthen their classes or discussion unlike the past class!

It was truly the end of classes!

As the students celebrated on their seats and excitedly chatted with their seatmates without restraints, Sir Charles swiftly went to his office, left the projects on his table and followed his target's scent or aura in merely one blink of an eye.

Even though he knew that he should not reveal any traces of his identity, Sir Charles still instinctively went against that thought and revealed about a percentage of it without even realizing it.

In the next blink of an eye, Sir Charles found himself in front of the door that led to the rooftop. Without even bothering to think about it, he immediately and softly opened the door and went out onto the open area while hiding himself fully behind one corner of the wall and cautiously assessing his surroundings.

Sir Charles nonchalantly shifted his gaze from the right to the left.

As he looked out into every direction, Sir Charles then stopped and focused all of his attention into that one specific direction.

From his perspective, Sir Charles saw a man lying on top of a woman. But that scene was not enough to catch his attention.

The fact that the woman lying under him was his target and the other fact that the man on top of her was that irksome brat were plenty enough to catch his whole attention!

At once, his blank brown eyes became covered with a layer of ice as it burst out and revealed intense malice, fury, and bloodlust.
