Chapter 22 - CHAPTER TWENTY: I WILL.

THE HOODED ONE'S POINT OF VIEW.

"Say Netyisha…are you really planning on reading that entire book here?" I ask Netyisha

She is presently absolutely immersed in the book I gave her,

She shrugs;

-Silence-,

I resume reading my own book,

"Mr Hood, what would you tell me…if I told you…" she gives an uneasy pause, and then takes a deep breath ;

"…that I want it to stop…"

She gazes at me expectantly,

"But…what to stop?..." I play with her.

She sighs heavily then intones;

"The negative treatment towards dark-cores and the discrimination and…",

-I smirk-

"Nothing…I'd tell you nothing…BUT…" I pause;

"Perhaps I'd tell you something IF you say you WILL MAKE it stop",

She nods,;

"Then, I will…I will make it stop",

I chuckle.

THE HOODED ONE'S POV END.

TAKI'S POINT OF VIEW.

"Yal…tell me something, what is your REAL reason for becoming a mage?"

I finally drop the question, just as me and Yal are sitting down resting.

Yal stares at me curiously he smiles and pulls in closer to me. "Well…it's simple, I want to become King",

I smile in relief;

-I see nothing odd with that ambition; however I do see something odd with his smile-

"How do you intend to do that with so many others before you?" I ask flatly.

"Elimination" he mutters,

I flinch;

"You don't seem like one strong enough…no offense" I remark matter-of-factly.

"Well, that's my reason for coming here...to become strong" he responds smoothly,

-Silence-

"So…why did you decide to tell me this?" I prod,

He grins and says;

"Cause we're the same",

-The same?-

TAKI'S POV END.

UNKNOWN (for now) POINT OF VIEW.

"…in this set of students…there seems to be a lot of terrible energy, murderous, destructive energy channeled at ruining the system"

I turn to her and nod;

"I'll keep that in mind… this is a gold mine for us Lady Agate ".

POV END.
