Fate Online: Shadow

Chapter 422: Troublesome Student

"Bloody hell, mate! That is one huge as* shark! We're not gonna get into trouble for killing one, right?"

A student said in a horrified voice while staring at the dead shark at the beach that Michael had pulled out from the water like a badas* earlier and made the female students among them cry out in amazement as they kept glancing at Michael's well toned body, while blatantly ignoring the topic in hand.

"Don't worry about it, it was Michael's doing to begin with" replied a female student to his question.

"Yeah, but that's a freaking great white shark, and we didn't try to stop him, so aren't we going to be treated as accomplices for not doing so?"

Then a young man who came from a wealthy and influential family laughed and said, "Relax kid, no one would dare mess with us. No one would stupidly offend us just for the death of single shark"

Hearing the young man, it finally dawned on the student who raised the problem that he seems to have forgotten that most of the students in their class came from influential families in Central City.

Realizing that, his face grew red from embarrassment, feeling that he had become a fool for worrying such a trivial thing in the eyes of this group of second generation rich kids.

'Something that would have worried people of ordinary families is only considered as a trivial thing, not worth paying attention to. Such is the life of the rich people, I wonder when will I also be as rich as them? But for me to do that, I need to work hard, or maybe I should find a rich girlfriend instead! After all, I'm quite a good looking fellow too, I doubt that I wouldn't be able to make at least one of these girls to like me' the young student suddenly started thinking about his bright future that he had failed to notice that he's showing such a disgusting smile on his face.

That rich student saw the disgusting smile on his classmate, and he couldn't help but grimace and muttered under his breath, "Such a perverted smile, Makes you wonder what perverse thoughts he has inside his head right now"

Meanwhile, the instructors and their professor are beside Michael and talking to him.

"Seriously Michael! What if the shark killed you?! Do you know how much trouble it would cause to us?! To me?!"

"I apologized, but as you can see, I'm still alive and kicking professor" replied Michael in a somewhat nonchalant tone.

While the professor was fuming in anger, the training instructors/security guards/spies(?) were discussing Michael with interest in low voices.

"Just who is this student? Is he some kind of a spy agent or something? Because that isn't something that a normal student should be doing at all" said one instructor, who is the only bald one among them.

Then another instructor with long hair chipped in and said, "Then in your eyes, what do students like them suppose to be doing, comrade?"

"Hmm, studying, parties and maybe getting laid with the hot chicks?" replied the bald instructor with a little hesitation, especially the last one as he felt incredibly embarrassed bringing it up.

"You probably did those when you were students like them, didn't you? So how many girls did you manage to get laid with?" said the other instructor with a crew cut as the others chuckled with him.

"Ohh f*ck off! As if you didn't do anything of those sh*ts that I mentioned!" shouted the bald instructor while glaring at him.

While listening to his professor reprimanding him, Michael happened to be able to catch their conversation and he couldn't help but glance at them with an amused look on his face, but it only lasted for a couple of seconds before Santo's voice once again entered his ears.

"Hey! Are you listening to me, Michael?! I thought you'd be the most sensible and less troublesome of my students because you're the oldest here, but I didn't think you'd do something this insane! Insane! Do you hear me?!"

"Yes professor, and once again I'm apologizing" replied Michael with a sigh while thinking, 'Professor Santos right now sounds like a broken cassette tape, he keeps repeating the same things over and over again. Well, I guess it's understandable, and it seems I better keep a low profile for the time being after this incident'

A couple of minutes later, the professor was finally tired from talking and he gave Michael one last glance full of anger and left the scene in a huff, and the students had also thinned out as most of them had already went back while the ones remaining are people who are curious of what Michael is planning to do with the dead shark on the beach.

"Is he planning to cook it? I wonder what shark meat tastes like" said Mary out loud.

Brandon looked at her and asked, "Have you never tasted one before?"

"Nope, not even shark fin soup, what about you? You make it sound like you tried one before" said Mary while poking the dead shark that's at least two meters long with her finger.

"I did, it tasted like chicken actually, but it still depends on the person who cooked it. If they were bad at it, it would taste like sh*t" replied Brandon with a slightly disgusted look on his face when he remembered that one memory of him eating shark meat that tastes just like that, sh*t.

"I wonder what is up with Michael though, risking his life like that just because the shark stole his prized fish" said Brandon in a low voice.

Mary looked at this somewhat dumb cousin of hers and replied, "Well, even though he acts cool with that beautiful face of his, he also acts like a weirdo sometimes, but all in all, he's so f*cking hot! Just look at that perfectly toned six pack! Kyaaa!"

Mary and the other girls started getting excited when they saw Michael walking over towards them with the chief instructor in tow as the latter was saying something to the former..

"So, are you telling me that you're not a martial artist at all? And here I thought you were one of those guys who competes in the World Martial Tournament. After all, having the guts to hunt a shark with only a wooden spear in hand is…No, should I say that even the toughest man out there would hesitate fighting a shark head on equipped with only a wooden spear, especially on the sea? No one in their right mind would do that, and you kid on the other hand, I think you're one brave, reckless and at the same time, stupid I guess, for doing something reckless that could have gotten you killed and turn you into shark poop" said the Chief Instructor with a laugh as he smacked Michael's back a couple of times with a satisfied smile on his face while nodding in approval.

"I'll be expecting great things from you kid, starting tomorrow!"

The Chief Instructor left while laughing in a satisfying manner, but when he was already a distance away from the students, his face immediately turned solemn as he muttered under his breath.

"That kid, he was too calm, it was like he already knew the outcome of what he's trying to do. While finding such an interesting fellow on the first day sounds fun, and it also feels like he's hiding something. No worries though, because I will make sure to strip his skin little by little until I find out what his trying to hide"

On the other hand, Michael kept staring at the man's back until he disappeared into the forest path, and then he snorted.

"Hmmp!"

Followed by a smile, along with a knowing look on his face.
