"Hey, did you see Zae?" Jia asked her companions, who were now busy playing with their phones. Jia had just come from the cafeteria to buy food for Zy.
"She said she was going to look for you earlier, because you took so long. Minjun and Zy left too, we don't know where they went." Xuan answered.
"Those two probably haaaa, they're so impatient. I'll go find Zae, just message me when those two get back, I'm going to punch them for real" She said that and immediately walked out of the classroom. On the other side, where Zae was...
"Hey, should we wake her up?" The guy ask his friend. The two stared at Zae, who was fast asleep. They had just come from the cafeteria to buy something to eat, and when they arrived at the bench where they usually hung out, they were surprised to find someone already there, lying down and fast asleep.
"Wait, Isn't she the girl with the barrier ability, the representative of the Veil~ ouch" He touched his head because his companion had just smacked him.
"Lower your voice, you might wake her up. Let's just move to the other bench." His companion said that and was about to leave when someone arrived.
"There you are" They turned and saw Jia approaching the sleeping girl. They stopped and just watched her.
"Oh, the wind girl" Jia turned to the two of them as one of the guy pointed at her.
"You?" Jia said that angrily to him.
"What? Why are you angry? I didn't do anything wrong." The man quickly said that to her, because he could see Jia's anger on her face. Jia was about to speak when Zae suddenly woke up.
"Damn, you're so loud, you woke her up." Jia said that and stroked Zae's hair, who was still sleepy.
"Ouch, why did you hit me again" The guy complained when he got smacked again by his friend.
"I told you to lower your voice, why are you so noisy?" He started to cry because of what his friend said.
*grooowl*
They all stopped and looked at Zae when her stomach rumbled. Jia suddenly got nervous and took out the food she was carrying because she was afraid that Zae would get upset at her.
"S-sorry it took so long to buy you food, here baby, I bought your favorite sandwich and drink." Jia stammered and quickly opened Zae's sandwich and drink and gave it to her. Zae immediately took it and started eating.
"B-baby, you're not mad right? Why are you not saying anything" Jia was restless because Zae still wasn't paying attention to her.The two men furrowed their brows as they watched the two girls.
"Are you two in a relationship?" The guy with the orange hair ask. Jia turned to them, confused.
"Well, you call her baby, right? Or not?" The man asked, also confused.
"What do you mean in a relationship? I just call her that because I'm babysitting her, she's the youngest member so we babysit her," Jia replied. The two men were surprised because they didn't expect Zae to be the youngest.
"Wait what? No… i dont know them.. no,no,no i met them earlier… H-huh? It's true~" The two men were confused because Jia was talking to herself even though Zae wasn't responding, because she was focused on her food.
"Damn, maybe one of the rumors about them being crazy is true." The orange-haired guy whispered to his friend.
"HEY I HEAR YOU, WERE NOT CRAZY" Jia shouted at the two of them, making them surprised.
"B-but you're talking to yourself" He said that, and then hid behind his friend. Jia sighed and slapped her forehead. She was shaking with anger because of the two men, then she remembered that Zae used the system to communicate.
"Zae, help me please" Jia pleaded Zae, and Zae immediately turned to them, as if pointing something out.
*pop*
[ SYSTEM LINK
"System link?" The two men were confused because a message suddenly popped up on their status window.
"Zae is lazy to talk, that's why she's using the system to communicate. She only chooses who she wants to talk to, so she uses the system link. The system link is where hunters can communicate without others seeing them, like telepathy. Only a few people know about the system link, so could you please not tell anyone else? It's also banned for hunters, but we're exempt because we're not under the association's control." Jia explained to them.
"Oh, that's why. I thought you were going crazy a while ago. Then we'll keep it as a secret." The orange hair guy said
{you're so loud, tangerene} Zae said while looking at the orange hair guy.
"T-tangerine?" He said in shock
"Pft~" His friend and Jia was trying to hold their laugh so he got annoyed by them.
"Argh I'm not tangerine. I'm Kim Yunho, Kim Yunho" he said angrily. The two couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing, seeing Yunho turning red with anger.
"Damn, my stomach hurts so much from laughter" Jia said while holding her tummy.
"I'm Lee Jia, she's Zaenne Han" She said while wiping her tears because of laughing.
"I'm Choi Seojun. By the way, I'm sorry if my friend is being loud, he just can't seem to shut up." He introduced himself while pointing at Yunho.
{Tangerine and a Koala} Zae said without even looking at them because she's still busy with her food.
"HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA WHAT A WEIRD NAME ZAE" Jia burst into tears when Zae said it. Seojun was surprised by what Zae said. He didn't expect Zae to call him by another name too.
While the four were busy arguing about the names Zae gave them, they didn't notice Zy and Minjun approaching them.
"Found ya" The three of them turned around, but Jia was still laughing.
"Hey, why do you look like you're going to die from laughing? What happen?" Minjun asked. Jia slowly stopped laughing and wiped away her tears from laughing so hard.
"Nothing, just talking to tangerine and koala." Jia answered. Zy and Minjun are confused by what Jia said and they look at the two guy with their head tilting.
"Tangerine and Koala? What a weird name" Zy said, while looking at the two, as if amazed by their names.
"Don't listen to her, that's not are name. Im Kim Yunho and this is Choi Seojun, ok?"
"Oh really? I thought that was your name. But… you look really like a tangerine" Jia laughed even harder because of what Minjun said, while Zy and Seojun tried to hold back their laughter seeing Yunho's expression.
"Waaaah Seojun, they're bad people, they're not weak because other people say, but they're bullies! T_T" Yunho said while crying.
"Sorry about that. Zae just loves giving weird names to new people she meets. And it means you're good people. And I think your system is linked to Zae's. She rarely talks to other people because she's lazy. By the way, I'm Hwang Minjun, and this is Zae's twin brother, Zydane Han. And we really need to go now. Our friends are looking for us." Minjun said and bow to them. Jia and Zae stood up and bowed too.
"See you Tangerine and Koala" Zy said, and they left.
"Bye Tangerine"Jia said, waving her hand as they left. When they were far away, Yunho finally stopped crying.
"I really wanted to make friends with them, but I didn't expect to get bullied right away." Yunho said while sulking.
"It's because of your hair color. And besides, you like tangerines too, don't you?" Seojun teased him while laughing.
"Dude, not you too." Yunho said angrily, lightly punching him on the shoulder.
"Wow, is this what you call a meeting?" The dean had just stepped into his office when he found the six of them eating in his office. They had just finished their faculty meeting where they introduced three new teachers. Even during the meeting, Minjun and Zy had already messaged him that they would be meeting so he immediately went to his office.
"We've been waiting for 20 minutes. So we decided to eat first since we were still hungry." Aeris said while munching on his food.
"Is that how you greet your dean?" He said with raised eyebrows and went to his table. They stopped eating, quickly stood up, and bowed. They felt the Dean's expression change, and they knew that he was the Director's right-hand man. That's why they didn't want to upset him.
"Then let's start the meeting. You only have fourty minutes left until your class."
They immediately straightened up, and a large system call popped up, contacting other hunters.
"VII speaking"
"XIV here~"
"XI present"
Zy sat up straight and his expression turned serious. He looked at the three others on the screen.
"Now report"
