Rise of the Crusader

"Why don't you repeat those words, now that I'm here, Aiden?!" The woman repeated her earlier question.

Everyone had eyes fixed on Aiden when they heard the woman, as for Aiden, he gulped, and then flashed a rough smile at the woman.

Seeing that she was about to move toward him, Aiden leaped from his seat, and hurried several steps backward, "Hehehe! You must have heard me wrong… It was Bane, I was telling you to go to hell." Aiden exclaimed.

"I thought as much." The woman responded.

"Ah-Ahem!" The woman had just spoken finished when Bane appeared in front of her, "Melanie, I must say you look absolutely stunning." Bane said as he seized the woman from head to toe.

"I haven't met any woman who justifies the term 'beauty' better than you, Melanie… Believe me when I say this. Only a man as noble and self-righteous such as myself is fit to accompany you through this journey of life.

Melanie was putting on a form-fitting green dress with long sleeves, and four high-cut leg slits that show off her shapely long legs and low-heeled black shoes.

"Roses are red. Violets are blue, you be the 6, I'll be the 9." Bane said as he licked his lips.

Bane's eyes moved about Melanie's body, from her shapely long leg, all the way to her upper body, and the smile on his face widened. "I just can't lie, I'm picturing you naked right now. So, what do you think about me in between your legs."

Melanie's eyebrows furrowed when she heard the first part of Bane, she was apparently confused by the whole six and nine he said, but when she heard the rest of his words, her eyes couldn't help but twitch.

Seeing, Melanie moving closer to him, a seductive smile appeared on Bane's face, "So, what do you…" Bane's abruptly paused, his eyes widen, and he clamped his legs together.

"Arghhh~!" Bane's scream rang out afterward.

Bane's mouth opened slightly, he placed both his hands on his lower region, which had just been struck with a kick, and his body shook violently. A few seconds after, Bane stumbled to the ground.

THUD!

After delivering a knee strike at Bane's lower region, Melanie took a step back, staring at him, and then she flashed a demonic smile at him.

"You want to woo a girl, and you're already like this just after a little kick to the groin… Ain't you pathetic Bane!" Melanie said.

The usual Bane would have given a response, but at this moment, Bane didn't dare to do so. The only thing he could think of was the pain that was spreading through every part of his body.

Meanwhile, Aiden, who had moved to the kitchen corridor, heaved a deep breath of relief, when he saw the condition that Bane was in. There was a possibility that if he hadn't moved, he might have ended up in that condition as well.

Suddenly, Melanie shifted her gaze towards Devon, "Come on in, there's something we need to discuss, Devon." With that said, and, Melanie began walking toward Devon's room.

Devon shook his head, he seemed reluctant to follow Melanie, but after a few seconds, he stood from the couch, and then went into the room.

BANG!

The door of the room was suddenly slammed a second after Devon entered.

"Wheeew…" Aiden waited for a few seconds before Melanie and Devon entered the room before he moved to the living room. He sat on the chair, and then let out a long breath.

"That's weird." It was Camille who spoke. "How do you know Melanie Reid?" Camille asked.

It wasn't only Camille who was curious about Melanie, but also Raphael. Though Melanie had a grim expression on her face the entire time and had even delivered a kick to Bane, Raphael could sense the feeling that they existed a relationship between them.

"Melanie?" Aiden glanced at Devon's room, before then saying, "Melanie Reid, Devon Reid! Does that ring a bell?

"They are siblings!!"

Raphael raised an eyebrow when he heard Aiden, and as for Camille, her eyes widened. "It never actually crossed my mind that the both of them were related," Camille said, and seeing the look on Bane's face, she shrugged her shoulder.

"What!!! Melanie is one of the core members of the student council and Devon is, you know, Devon." Camille said.

"Yes, and that's what normal sounds like… Devon is more decent than any of his sisters." Aiden responded.

Suddenly, Camille's mouth opened slightly, "Wait, doesn't that also mean that Devon and Madeline are also siblings." There was a tinge of excitement present in Camille's voice as she spoke.

Camille's eyes were fixed on Aiden, and when Aiden nodded his head in response to her question, Camille leaped from the couch. She was simply unable to hide her excitement anymore.

"Who is this Madeline, you speak of?" Raphael couldn't help but ask.

As Camille turned toward Raphael, the expression that she had on her face was as though she had just seen a ghost. Camille then glanced back at Aiden, rubbing her hand across her hair with shock evident in her eyes.

"He's joking right!"

"No," Aiden replied, "He doesn't really know who Madeline is, besides it isn't like she is some god or something, I find the whole hype around her rather annoying," Aiden blurted.

"Shhh!!! Of course, you would say that, since Madeline loathes men and would probably consider you and Bane as bad influences to her younger brother." Camille replied.

Camille turned toward Raphael and began to tell him about Madeline and Melanie. According to Camille, the two sisters were core members of the student council, but Madeline, the eldest of them all, wasn't only a member of the council, but she was also a direct student of the dean.

"Now that I think of it, I have always wondered how Devon can remain in this place all this while, considering he is an E-rank meta. It makes perfect sense now." Camille muttered.

"Anyway, you know what is insane about the two of them, they have the most insane mission completion rate… In fact, In the academy, they are no one with records like them, not even the dean, or the directors."

Camille continued for a few more minutes and only stopped when Aiden waved his hand at her.

"Blah blah blah!!! That doesn't change the fact that both of them are psychopaths! I mean, Madeline boldly declared that she would create a world ruled by women, whereas men will become slaves."

"Breeding tools!!!"

"And that is merely the tip of the iceberg of what that sicko has in mind. She even said that the duration in which men would exist as breeding tools is until they have created a machine or robot that can impregnate women. Once it is created, she would wipe out every male in the world."

Camille nodded her head, affirming to what Aiden had just said.

As for Raphael, his eyes squinted, "What about Devon? Aren't they siblings, what will she do to him." Raphael said with a rather confused look on his face.

"My thoughts exactly.But you know what this psychopath said. 'My brother is more of a female than a male, and if he so much as to challenge the women's right and constitution, he won't also be spared' That was the exact speech she gave."

"Those damn rightist club!"

Aiden sneered, "Now you see why I say that among all of them, Devon is the most decent and most reasonable… Whether it is Madeline or Melanie, they are simply vicious, lunatic, and in fact maniac people."

"Bitches!"

A second after Aiden spoke, he saw Camille seating abruptly on the couch and then winking at him.

"What? Is something on my face?" Aiden asked, and in response, Camille gulped then shook her head.

"So, what is…" Aiden paused, his eyes widened, and he said, "She is at my back isn't she?!"

This time around, Camille nodded her head.

"I'm dead!"

Aiden slowly stood from the couch he was on, he turned towards Melanie and saw the expression she had on her face, and Aiden flashed a smile at her.

"See ya!!" Without wasting any time, Aiden dashed out of the room immediately. Aiden mustered all the strength in his body, as he ran, and with determination, he was able to rush out of the room.

Melanie shook her head when she saw Aiden fleeing, "Pathetic!" Melanie muttered. Melanie turned towards Devon who was beside her, "This is the sort of people you associate yourself with, Devon, shame!!!"

Suddenly, Melanie appeared in front of Raphael, "I hope you're not like those two because it would really be a shame after all that Serena has said, and done on your behalf.' Melanie said.

Raphael, however, kept a straight face when he heard Melanie.

"Good!" With that said, and Melanie headed straight to the door. She was about to walk out when Bane's voice rang out.

"You're going to have to be better than that if you want to take me down. And with all due respect, you are a non-stop cock tease,"

Though Bane's legs were still shivering from that blow, a smile hung on his face as he said those words. As for Melanie, she couldn't help but be disgusted when she heard Bane.

"You're hopeless!" Melanie said and then left the room.

After Melanie left, Bane turned toward, Raphael, Camille, and Devon, "Impressive right?" There was however no response from any of the three Bane was speaking to, and instead, the three of them shook their head at him, before then going their separate ways.

Raphael and Devon went into their separate rooms, and Camille moved to the room across.
