Passion of Fire - Chapter 3
Man it's been so long since the last chapter, I'm so sorry ;; - ;;
Sorry if it's not that good I'm kinda rusty and revised this at 1am so yeah x'D
Hope you all enjoy it! C:
“Why? What have I done?” Vini asked with a shocked look on his face.
“We have been reported that two young magis were causing havoc on the campus and people told us to split the fight.” Said a tall woman, wearing the same uniform as the other girl, with a tired expression on her face.
“A-ah! I was just trying to control my magic since I found out about it recently, but it wasn’t me who was causing trouble. I’m pretty sure the person you’re looking for ran away after that person hit me and passed out.” Vini said, trying to explain what happened.
Crossing her arms, the small woman crossed her arms in disbelief. “Sure, I’ll believe on the person who was found passed out with another magi that already has a ton of reports of causing havoc on the campus.”
“What he said is true, I was looking for someone else.” Haya said, scratching his head while yawning. “Oh, hi Jo!” He said.
Facepalming, the young woman looked at him, with a faint smile on her face. “Hey there, I can’t believe you’re doing this again.”
“Hm… I’m sorry to jump in the middle of your conversation but… who are you?” Vini said, confused with the situation.
The tall woman looked at Jo with a teasing smile, their eyes shined as if they were happy with the question.
“We are the Mods and our job is to moderate the capital, bringing justice for those who disobey the law!” Both of them said, smiling.
After a few seconds of silence they noticed how awkward that must have been and started to whisper at each other.
“Jooo I starting to think that it’s not a good idea to introduce yourselves like this.” Said the tall woman, covering her mouth.
“I know maybe it’s better we stop doing this, Tina.” Jo said, also covering her mouth.
Little they know that Vini’s silence was because he dreamed about meeting the people that he always read about on the newspapers, and then he realizes he was scolded by the people he admire, even with him having no fault about the havoc Haya and her friend were causing.
“I-I’m so sorry for bothering you two, I really appreciate all your hard work and I’m really sorry for the trouble I’ve caused!” Vini said, with his eyes closed and his face was starting to turn red.
Everyone just stared at him in silence, making him feel even more nervous.
When he got completely red due to the embarrassment he ran away saying: “I’m sorry!” Only to fall on the lake a few meters ahead of them.
Tina tried to hold her laugh as both Jo and Hay gasped at the scene. “Hay, can you do us a favor and take him out of there, please? We’ve got important Mod stuff to do.”
“Okayy I’ll do it.” Haya said, a bit annoyed with it.
“Thanks!”
The truth was that she wanted to get away as soon as possible so she could laugh loudly about it. A few hours passed after the incident, the sun was setting down, giving the sky an orange color. Vini observed the sunset from his room and saw how calm everything was, with some students walking around the campus while talking with their friends. The tense atmosphere from before was slowly fading away as people were going home.
“Man today sure was weird… oh my god I can’t believe I actually fell on the lake and had to be rescued by Hay…”
The more he thought about it, the more he got embarrassed over it; to a point his entire face was red. He went to the bathroom and washed his face, trying to cool down for a bit and, after changing to his pajamas, he laid down on his bed, trying to avoid thinking about the events that happened earlier in the day. He started to wonder about the Mod team and that reminded him about his family’s past in the capital.
“Oh, that’s right my family has some kind of history here. Maybe there’s something about it on the library here in the campus. I think I might go there tomorrow.”
He tried to sleep but when he finally closed his eyes to rest, the memories of himself falling in the lake and woke him up. That happened at least 3 times during the night.
It didn’t take long until the sun rose again and the birds were chirping again. Just a few minutes later, people started to get out from their houses… and Vini to fall from his bed.
“I’m too tired to even complain about this.” He said, with his head facing the ground.
After 5 minutes without moving, he got up and, after making his bed, he went to the bathroom and dressed up, hoping that this day would be a good one.
Vini walked to the Royal Library, that wasn’t too far from the dormitory he lived on.
After he arrived, Vini was shocked by the building where the library was because it was the first time he got so close to it and he believed it was a lot smaller from the image on the map.
But all the tension was replaced by astonishment when he saw how awesome it was inside there, with a several people inside there and everyone respected the silence rule. Vini never thought he would be so amused by a bunch of old books.
He walked slowly through the library, excited with the variety of the books and by the architecture of the Library, which reminded him of the interior of a castle.
“Maybe that’s why it’s called the Royal Library, right?” He thought to himself, and ended up laughing silently to avoid distracting the readers.
When he was getting close to the front desk, Vini turned his head to see the view the librarians see while they’re working but he ended up seeing someone he wasn’t expecting to find there.
That person was Jo, the Mod that saw him falling on the lake before. Scared to be scolded by the person he admires, Vini hides between the shelves.
“Oh god oh god I can’t let her find me here or I’ll be screwed.” Vini thought to himself, panicking a bit.
He started to yawn. “Thinking about it, it’s kinda comfy here… The cold air makes me feel so sleepy… And I almost didn’t sleep at night…”
It only took 3 minutes for him to fall asleep there, in the middle of the books. But he didn’t sleep for a long time, before he could dream; someone started to shake him up while saying:
“Hey, are you ok? Wake up, did anything happened?” The young woman said.
“Another angel?” Vini thought while waking up.
But after realizing that the person who was waking him up was Jo, he jumped back in embarrassment.
“Oh my god I can’t believe I fell asleep here I’m so so sorry for worrying you.” He said, quickly while closing his eyes.
Jo put her hand in his face, surprising Vini.
“Hey, take care of yourself, ok? If you’re tired, go home and rest, it will be better for both your mind and body, alright?” She said with a faint smile on her face.
“I’m sorry but I’m a bit late so I have to run until the Mayor’s HQ now. Take care!” The young woman then ran away, leaving Vini blushing and speechless.
After a few minutes staring at the same spot she went to, he reminded about what he was going to do on the library, and calmly walked to the reception, where he found a woman wearing a top hat and with a tiny mouse on her shoulder, one that Vini ended up not noticing.
“Hi… hm… do you have any book about the military force that helped the last the Barr family?”
“Oh hi! And yeah, we do have a book but I must warn you… the book is really big and heavy so take care to not hurt yourself with it.”
“Ah, it’s ok! I can do it!” Vini said, smiling.
“Alright just don’t tell me I didn’t warn you.” The woman said as she held this book that was bigger than Vini’s torso.
She gave it to Vini, only to him use all his forces to hold it and still try to keep his balance.
“T-thank you.” He said, almost losing his breath.
The woman with the top hat waved at him and said: “You’re welcome!”
Vini walked to the nearest table, just to put the book there and sit, almost sweating with the effort he used to carry the book. He opened the book on a random page, before going to the index to search for his family’s group.
The random page opened on a military group called “the Vultures”, but Vini didn’t pay attention to it and quickly moved to the index. After some time of searching, he finally found his family’s group, called “the Demons.”
Vini opened the book on the right page, but he could never imagine what he would find there.
