Nathan P.O.V
“Get up, all of you! I have someone that I wanna introduce to you. This is our next instructor, Miss Felicia. She will be starting the day after tomorrow. Don’t cause trouble for her, that’s what captain Ezerette said.” The guys got up, intensely surprised that this time they’re new teacher was a frail girl. Yup, I understand your thoughts, buddy.
As soon as they stood up, they walked over and one of them commented rudely, “Wow, so the standards have been lowered this much! Looks like she’ll be gone in three days. Someone like her, why the hell is even here? Like, seriously? And Nathan, what happened to you? You’re cowering like a chicken. What happened to your ego?”
I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth. If Felicia wasn’t here, I would have already done him in. But, that whole time I felt someone looking at me quietly. I turned to match my gaze with her. She was smiling, not her poker ones that I saw before, but a sincere and proud one. When she removed her eyes from mine, I felt a sting I couldn’t describe.
“No matter who you are, I hope you respect your peers and talk in the correct manner. I do not like people commenting rudely in front of me. Refrain from it, that’s an order.” As usual, her manner held power, but it was something to behold every time. “How dare you lecture me?!” It took me a moment to understand what was happening, but by the time I came to my senses, I saw Sam’s arm being twisted and him crying in pain. He was cursing her out, but his voice gradually came to a whimper. I was sure others had noticed it too. Her grip and hold were tightening by the second.
She is seriously terrifying! I thought as I went to break apart the two people. Felicia looked up at me, and said, “Get out of the way, I will deal with him myself. After all, that is my specialty. So Mr Sam, did you learn your lesson? That person you people nicknamed ‘demon’, I’m her elder sister. So I think you’d better keep yourselves in check, otherwise don’t blame me if you have broken bones.”
“I give in, leave me! It won’t happen again, okay?!” I saw her tighten her grip even more, but that was it. She soon let go and he fell to the ground, “As I’m not on duty today, I will let you off easy. But, it is best if you don’t try this through training.” Letting off easy?! That sure is an understatement!
“Alright, then I’d best get back, mother will be waiting for me. Behave yourself and correct your tone and behaviour with me, if not…..” she glared at us making sure she was clear. “Yes, ma’am!” All of us shouted in a matched tone and realised what we had done.
She, she was definitely not someone ordinary. To be able to intimidate us to a point where we consciously bowed down our head is just incredible. She looked at us one more time and ensuring we were taking in her announcement, she left, yup she left, just like that.
Third-person P.O.V
What the fu*k just happened?! Did you see what she did to us? It was like she reined us in and we just fell in the trap!
“I’ve never felt anyone have an impact like that on me!”
”Yeah, it was like she was a completely different when she came in and when she left. And on top of that, she would’ve broken Sam’s arm if we hadn’t stopped her.”
“No wonder she’s that demon’s sister.”
“And she is the elder one, no wonder I felt so pressured. It was as if she demanded that it is necessary for us to respect her.”
“First time, and we were already like that.”
“Who knows how her training sessions would be. I doubt they would be anything like what we have seen before.”
“The main problem is her face and smile. It was like, so damn scary. I don’t ever want to meet someone like her again.”
“It’s high time we called him back, maybe he might be able to do something.” Someone said. They all turned around to look at him and slowly a small cryptic smile crept upon their lips. In the next two days, his whereabouts will be found. After all, they were betting their full resources on it.

“So, how’d it go? Did you meet them? They didn’t do anything to you right?” Felicia was bombarded with questions as soon as she stepped inside her house. It was quite late at night and the others had already either gone home or were fast asleep, snuggling in their beds. “They are my age, yet they behave so immaturely.” Ezerette just couldn’t understand whether she was making fun of them, or putting down an evaluation.
“If you don’t like them, don’t hesitate to teach them a lesson. Every single one of their parents has given their approval.” Felicia thought about what her little sister said carefully. Then something struck suddenly. “The way they make trouble, skip sessions and boast about themselves, do they have-?
“Yes they do, but don’t worry, exactly because of their egos and pride, the parents want them disciplined.” No wonder. One thing to smooth everything over was nothing other than money. All of them had come from prominent families and some of them were the only child in their families. A bitter smile danced on Felicia's lips. Of course, it was like that, why didn’t she think of it before?
“Don’t worry, I’m certain I can tame them, give me four months. Besides, do we not have a festival coming after that? I’ll make sure they participate.” Ezerette looked at her sister, her face holding a mysterious approved look. Felicia never broke her word. If she said she could do it, then there were no questions further asked.
