I'm a Walking Disaster With My Unwanted Virginity

There were three people inside this room. At least three outsiders. 

After opening the door, Merin just went over to his bed and lied down, reading stuff on his Holo. The guy didn\'t have a single worry in the world. 

Meanwhile, the other three?

One, the headmaster; two, Johnathan; and three, Eve. 

The other two, I can understand but the first? Did he have too much free time or something?

I had a distinct feeling that something was up but I stayed calm: then again I was already calm thanks to that snuggle time with Marg. 

I really had to try hard to keep all my emotions inside. 

After coming inside, I locked the room.. I had a feeling whatever he was about to say, was going to be confidential. And not something I wanted to know. 

"Good morning sir." I went over him and stood right in front of him, staring. My tone was formal, but- I had a feeling I came up a bit disrespectful. 

"Ah, good morning." He started with an awkward laugh. "Nice weather isn\'t it?" He chuckled. 

Just what the hell happened to make this guy talk like this?

And speaking of weather, the outside was relatively dark. I guess clouds? I sure hope it didn\'t rain. 

"Can we cut to the chase? I have a date at ten."

And it was already close to nine. And I had no intention of keeping Marg waiting. Though I had a feeling she\'d still arrive way before me. 

I thought Eve would at least show some sadness. After all, just the other day all that happened to her. So I thought she\'d be having a hard time and sulking alone in her room or something. But instead, she was smiling like usual. That usual, upto no good smile. 

Meanwhile, the headmaster smiled awkwardly while Johnathan just grimaced. 

Just what the hell happened?

"You might have done something bad." The geezer chuckled again. It was starting to get on my nerves and he was understanding that too just fine. "We actually arranged for that match for your own good. And since you were a little injured we figured it would have been best to not tell you- but your recovery was quite intriguing. It would have been better if you didn\'t show up."

"My good?"

"Yeah, if you lost, you wouldn\'t have to fight Triton." Johnathan began. "He can control water and his saber can absorb all kinds of-"

"Radiation." Well, this just got complicated. 

"No, energy actually. And since radiation is also energy mostly, you get the picture." The headmaster filled me in. 

Okay, this just got more complicated. 

I sighed. "Isn\'t that a bit too overpowered a skill for a saber?"

If that was someone\'s ability like that Rock guy, I could understand. But a typical saber having that much power? That was just unfair!

"He has a special dragon core." The headmaster managed. "Actually, I\'ve heard that you, yourself have a dragon core, if I\'m not mistaken."

"That I do." I hadn\'t seen her in a day though. 

And since she wasn\'t in this room meant, she was either soaring the world or just sleeping inside my saber. Probably the latter. I didn\'t know if she was fly or not though. 

The geezer grinned. "Did you know that sometimes certain cores can absorb other cores of the same type?" He had a very devilish grin.

"You\'re suggesting?" I sure hope he wasn\'t suggesting, what I think he was suggesting. 

He gave me a knowing grin and stood up. He came close. "Prepare all you can before that time. After all, we both know it won\'t be easy for you to go against them," he whispered. He went over to the door, unlocked it. "Good day."

And he walked out. 

I had a very vague notion that he was talking about my upcoming war thing. And he was right, I didn\'t have time to waste. I had to prepare to the best of my abilities. 

And here I had my hands full with dates, the tournament, and life in general. I really needed a break. Sigh. 

I still wanted to go on that date though. 

"Thanks for the other day." Eve stood up, handed me a piece of half-eaten chocolate, and left. Was that the only reason she was here?

Honestly, I didn\'t get girls. She did smell good though. A rather flowery smell mixed with chocolate. Oh wait, that was because I was holding the bar close to my mouth. 

Though it was half-eaten, I had no reason to say no, no sir! And it wasn\'t like she bit right into it or something. It was just broken in half. 

And today was my free day after all! The only day I was free to eat all the chocolate of the world! Muahahah!

Meanwhile, Johnathan didn\'t move. He sniffed a little. "So, you have a date?"

"Why the hell are you sulking? Something happened?"

"She left me." His voice was soft. He was still on the bed, head down.

"Wha?" I was confused. "She left me?" I just repeated his question, trying to make sense of it. 

He looked upto me, tears streaming down. 

"She said, I was being too rough!"

Oh wait, they were actually. I still remember those not-so-pleasant sounds I heard down the hallway and even inside the room. At the time it didn\'t sound that painful though. Actually, it might have been the opposite. 

Come to think of it, last night and this morning the hotel was rather quiet. Meaning, these two really were going pretty rough. 

But just for that? Wasn\'t that something they could have just worked out among themselves?

"That\'s all? I mean if you were being rough, you can just treat her better, I mean you are in love, right?"

Wasn\'t treating the person you loved with care, the natural way? Or was I just not aware of how others might differ from that?

Even if you didn\'t like something, there was always room for compromise. After all, that\'s how both could achieve happiness. Otherwise wouldn\'t it just be one sided?

"Actually, she also said, I was getting attracted to other girls and-" His voice got too soft and I didn\'t hear the rest. 

I had a bad feeling about this. 

"And? Are you getting attracted to other girls?"

I mean, as long as he remained faithful I didn\'t see that as a problem. But to a girl, it might have been one. 

"Well-" He gave me a nervous chuckle. 

"You\'re not double-timing, are you?" I asked, very carefully. 

Merin closed his Holo and was now enjoying this. While this guy just looked the other way and frowned a little. Was he trying to act cute? Because it sure wasn\'t working.

I held his collar, lifted him up a little, and smiled. "So, are you cheating?" I was just lifting him with one of my arms. I held the chocolate with the other after all. 

Was it that this guy was too light or I\'d gotten stronger? Actually, I couldn\'t tell. 

"Kind of but it\'s not what you think. You see, the girl said she loved and me-"

Yeah, I didn\'t need to hear more. 

And this was in the morning too. 

That bunny girl literally left her whole family for this guy. She left everything behind. 

And I was the one responsible. 

So, with a sigh, I stared at the guy. "I see." I let go of his collar, made a fist, smiled harder and punched him on the nose. "Now, get out of my room."

"Archghk!"

He stumbled and hit his back against the wall. Blood splattered. I probably broke both the wall and his nose. I was holding back a lot, but I guess this guy was just weak. I wanted to kick him too, but I had a feeling he\'d pass out and bleed on my floor. 

"And I just cleaned that too." Merin chuckled as he complained. 

It took the guy a good minute to get up and while covering his nose he went to the door. There were still drops of blood everywhere. 

He didn\'t say a word. He still bled on my floor though. 

"What a disaster." I closed the door and jumped on the bed, the chocolate still in my hand. 

"You better clean that before you leave." Merin snickered. 

Sigh. 

Would that girl really be okay? Though I didn\'t have feelings for her anymore, I had to agree, this was my fault. If it weren\'t for me, she\'d have never got out of there and this would have never happened. I never thought Johnathan would be like this.

I guess you learn a new thing every day.

But her mother was abusive and- sigh. 

"SO, you have a date?" Merin smirked knowingly. He was trying to change the whole subject I guess. 

"Uh-huh." It sure was working. 

It was time to move on. After all, I had a date today! If things really went sour for them this early then it probably would have gone sour anyway. They had to work this out themselves, and if they couldn\'t, then there weren\'t any ways they could live with each other. Of course, I could try to mediate but I didn\'t want to cause more problems. And even if they got together and this just repeated then what?

I had a date and my mind was in other places. So, I didn\'t want to think about all this complicated stuff, at least not now. 

After all, if I got lucky, I could get really lucky today. 

So, with a solid evil grin, I went to the mini-fridge, while chomping on the chocolate and brought out my breakfast.

The chocolate was really delicious. I guess Eve deserved my thanks too!
