Rebirth of the Phoenix God

Chapter 18: Real situation

Despite how she initially appeared to be quite perturbed by how Fen reacted to the mentions of the church, the girl rose up from her chair and smiled kindly both at the teacher and the young man himself. While it was only a simple smile, for a moment, Fen thought that the entire world has brightened out for him.

But rather than assuming that something struck the strings in his heart, the young man held his breath for a moment, watching as the situation would continue to develop. Years of gathering experience as the hunter combined with the catastrophic failure he was a part of learned him one thing. After an exciting event, it's only natural for the body to react in certain ways. One could consider it a natural instinct to release the energy and make sure that one's line would be continued, due to how dangerous the said event appeared to be.

And with everything that Fen wanted to change in his life, following the instincts of his body alone was at the priority list!

"Thats settled then. As we mostly spoke about the organisational staff during the first lesson, you are now all free to take your break. Just remember to be back on time for the next subject!"

Smiling towards the entire group, Stiel flunked his long robe to the back before passing by Fen and opening the gate. As if this was the signal for the evacuation, all the students instantly jumped out of their seats, surrounding the young man.

"Man! That was awesome!"

"How could you create such a wholesome flame!"

"Hey, would you like to visit some places together, a bit later"

"Everyone, scram. Can't you see how confused he is?"

In one instant, all seven of Stiel's students flooded him with questions, ranging from praises, through amazement all the way to some kind of date offer from a sketchy looking guy in the back. Only timely Kaisha's reaction managed to sour the mood of the small group, allowing her to squeeze her thin waist between them.

Grabbing Fen's hand without even a shred hesitation, she pulled the young man outside of the clearing. With his body still yet to be completely vassalised by his mind, just the touch of her soft fingers tightening around his palm was enough to make him wonder about the purpose of life, with only their frantic escape saving Fen from losing his face due to how red it turned.

"We should be safe here"

Throwing an acute observation, Kaisha finally stopped running, turning to a slow walk instead. With her head moving to all directions, Fen had a hard time to decide whether she was looking out for their classmates or if she actually lead their escape in such a way that she ended up getting lost!

"Anyway, I'm Kaisha!"

Turning around as rapidly as she saved the young man from the small crowd, this energetic girl looked down, only to realise that she was still holding his hand. Initially blushing a bit, she appeared confused as to what she was supposed to do, only to end up shaking his hand nevertheless.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, as you might have heard, I'm Fen. Thanks for the save back there."

Responding to her greeting by slightly tightening the embrace of his own fingers around her delicate hand, Fen quickly retracted his palm as soon as this natural gesture was done.

"So Are you going"

With how she was supposed to explain the things to him, Fen could have a better opportunity to strike two birds with one stone. Not only he could avoid creating an awkward atmosphere by putting this topic up, but he could also finally get to know the details that he craved so much for!

"Shh"

Ignoring all Fen's attempts to keep the situation calm and civil, this girl stepped forward, placing her pointing finger right on top of the young man's hands.

"Let's find some better place to talk. If we stay here, it won't take long before the rest will find us, and we don't have that much time to talk, to begin with."

Gracing her classmate with a lovely smile formed by her full, lush red lips, Kashia turned around on her feet, nearly hitting Fen in the face with the wave of her ash-black hair carried by the sudden movement. Only noticing it now, but her outfit made her achievement of actually running as fast as they did, something commendable.

Consisting of two pieces, her upper body was properly hidden under the cloth of a tight shirt, but it was her bottom part of the clothing that should make running a bit problematic!

Dressed in the robes provided by the Archarity himself, Fen knew how hard it would be to run in his outfit if not for the fact that he was actually given a choice of a long robe and proper pants. Yet, this girl actually went with a knee-short skirt, that still looked like it could easily limit her movement with how tight it was!

Soon, all those idle thoughts disappeared from Fen's mind. Swept by Kaisha's energy, he could only mindlessly follow her as she looked for the exit from the labyrinth. Soon enough, they finally found the gate, instantly bursting through it as if they were attempting to siege down the place hiding behind the doors.

And it this single moment, it felt as if the sun focused its shine entirely on the young man!

Living his entire life in the outskirts, even during the hottest periods of the day, he could easily hide under one of the many trees always present around him. Yet, it was his first time feeling like a fish on a frying pan, with absolutely no cover capable of shielding him from the deadly rays of the midday sun!

"I know it's bright, but I know a nice place nearby! Hurry up!"

Turning around whilst running, Kaisha proved that even in such a rush, she could still hold al her feminine cards. With her elbow long hairs fluttering on the wind, she seemed to enclose a part of the entire street just to herself.

Her encouraging smile easily managed to sway Fen's body into moving forward. Yet, even when he thought about this rationally, there was actually no drawbacks to this solution. It was a fact that they had to find a place where the rest of the students wouldn't bother them, and if they were to have a nice time while doing so, then it was all for the best!
