Dehx sat back as Julian continued with the lesson. He was going on about souls, something Dehx knew already knew about, he wasn't exactly new to Shibusen. He was thankful that the lesson wasn't about anything he hadn't already known at least a little about, that could be disasterous. He leant back in his chair and almost zoned out from the lesson. He brought his hand to his face, to touch the worst of the incisions. There was a pang of pain shoot through his head. Maybe he should've gone to the nurse. It was too late now, he may as well wait until the break. It wasn't going to be too much longer, he hoped. Dhex looked around the room, again. He could see some people with their head buried in their books, and some paying attention to Julian as he practically gave the lesson according to the book, word for word. It just went to show that he knew the book all too well.
After a little while of listening to Julian, Dhex looked at the clock. He was delighted to see that break time was just a few minutes away. His head was actually hurting a little.
"...and so that is the soul. You must know the distinction between the souls, so I'll set that as an assignment for tomorrow. For all of you that have been through this before, this will be a walk in the park. If anyone has any questions about this lesson, please feel free to come and see me afterwards and I'll go over some bits with you again." Julian said as he looked at his watch, "Ok, I shouldn't really do this, but," He hesitated for a moment, "you're all free to go. The bell will be going any minute, now." With that, everyone started bustling about, putting their books away and heading towards either Julian or the door; Dehx followed the latter.
Outside, in the corridor, Dehx thought about going to the nurse then thought about going outside for a bit. He didn't want to be stuck in the nurses office, so he decided to go outside. As he walked outside, he saw people going off in their social groups. He couldn't see anyone he wanted to hang around with, particularly, but that didn't bother him. He made his way to the steps and sat on the top step. His mind began to wander. He was rudely interrupted with a boot shoving him down a few steps. After steadying himself, he turned to face the culprit
"Zach; I should've known." He said as he stood and made his way up the steps onto level ground.
"We never finished what we started yesterday." Zach said as he cracked his knuckles.
"Because there's nothing to finish." Dehx replied, almost waving him off.
"What's the matter, you chicken?" Zach asked mockingly.
"Do you really want to do this? Right here? Right now?" Dehx said, now starting to get a little angry.
"No time like the present." Zach said as he shoved Dehx hard. Dehx stumbled back a few steps. Dehx almost fell, but he managed to steady himself.
"It's go time." Dehx said as he charged Zach with one hand transformed into his dagger blade, ready to swing for him.
