How I Became the Strongest Sovereign

-Zeref's POV-

Xanxus stood at the front of our class, telling us about a new kid. I looked out the window, zoning out until Jace grabbed my arm and shook it slightly. I snapped out  of my trance, facing the front to see a tall boy standing at the front. 

He had his hands in his pockets and stood nonchalantly. The thing that caught my eye was his dark aura. He seemed dangerous and gave off a killer's vibe; he had definitely killed before. All the girls had their eyes popped out of their sockets for him and it looked like I had missed his introduction.

He had black hair and his sleeves were rolled up messily just below his elbows, showing his strong muscles and apparent veins. His eyes were sharp and cunning and his jaw was perfectly L shaped. Like me, he looked older than his age and had broad shoulders. 

He definitely was going to attract attention for his looks on his first day. Word would spread fast about him.

The wind whistled near my ear, a little louder than usual as it blew past the smooth glass of the window. 

"What's his name?" I whispered to Jace, still having my eyes on the new guy.

"I think he said Taejun Park…" Jace returned in a quiet hush.

Somehow, Taejun heard us and his eyes snapped instantly to my position. We held each other's cold glares, the place almost feeling frozen still, before he looked away.

He seemed troublesome.

Xanxus left the class and the teacher searched the room for empty seats. 

"It just so happens that there is one right in front of Naz; you can go sit there Taejun."

He walked down to the back of the class, making eye contact with me again. It was like his eyes could speak words and he was sending me a threat.

Jace shuffled in his seat uncomfortably as Naz smiled at him. Taejun didn't return it and swung his bag on the desk and sat down, yawning.

There was something really off about this guy and I knew not to doubt my instincts.

We walked down the halls to the canteen, during lunch.

"There's this new girl. She is Malia's friend." Sara said, giving Malia a look. Malia shrugged, drinking a box of chocolate milk quietly.

"Yeah there was a new kid in our class too." Jace walked next to her.

"They are siblings." Malia finally finished her milk and chucked it into the bin from afar.

"Nice shot!" Naz giggled, cheering her.

"They are?" I queried, starting to get interested.

"Taejun and Soyeon Park. They both have branched wind elements but when they focus, they can conjoin their powers into the pure wind element." she spoke carefully, as if she was treading on ice just talking about them.

"How do you know this-" I was interrupted when a scream echoed down the halls.

We all looked at each other with concern, before Malia started running to where she thought the noise was.

A boy was on his knees, drenched in blood as his friend laid limp on the floor. Standing in front of them were two furious looking twins. 

Soyeon and Taejun Park.

"Next time you touch me, I'll shatter your skull." Soyeon spoke in a cold tone.

It was their first day and they were already causing trouble? How stupid were these two? I flash stepped in front of the bleeding boy grabbing Taejun's arm, as he was just about to punch the bloody kid one more time.

"You?!" Taejun glared at me, growling but I didn't stand down. 

I was still part of the disciplinary committee so I had to step in. 

"Zeref don-" I heard Malia's voice muffle out as a sudden gust of wind muffled all the noise and people covered themselves from the powerful wind pressure. 

"You dare to touch my brother?" His sister charged at me, throwing a right jab straight towards my head. 

I parried the blow and ducked, dodging Taejun's kick from behind. These two were tag teaming?

"I suggest you two stop this before you get in further trouble than you guys already are." I warned, "I'll count to three, if you don't stop by the time I get to 3 I'm pinning you guys down."

"As if." Taejun's sister mocked, moving in unison with her brother. She attacked me first, but I parried her blows along with Taejun's attacks. 

"1…" 

Soyeon jammed her elbow into my shoulder but I rolled her hit off me, my shoulder throbbing as I swung my fist at her jaw. She disappeared from my sight, her brother pouncing at me in her replacement. 

Our fists connected with such intensity, a gust of wind ran through the halls as electricity ran up his hand like poison. The friction was undeniable as I felt his knuckles shift back at my impact. He let out a scream of pain, his hand making a loud cracking sound as he leaped back, cradling his injured hand.

"2…" I pulled my fist back to my side, standing a few steps away from him as he glared at me with a deadly look in his eyes. He held his wrist, his eyes searching the area. His eyes stopped to my side and I already knew what that meant.

"3." I said as Soyeon's fist appeared out of nowhere and barely missed my cheek as I was expecting her too. I held her wrist, pulling her forwards in front of me and reeling my fist back. 

"You both have refused to follow my orders!" I raised my voice as Soyeon instinctively held her hand up to her face, preparing for the impact of my punch. I sighed as I dropped my fist to my side causing Soyeon and Taejun to flinch.

I looked at Malia as we both summoned handcuffs from our dimension rings. 

She turned to Taejun who was still cradling his hand which was now purple and blue.

"Don't touch me!" he stepped back angrily as Malia put her hands up in defense.

"Fine, I won't cuff you but you need to come with us." she said, putting her cuffs back. 

I gave her a 'what are you doing?' look as she pointed at his hand. His knuckles were bright blue and it seemed as if all the bones in his hands were forcefully pushed back and shattered. He needed a nurse.

The boy that was on his knees earlier abruptly ran up to Taejun in full speed, bodying him to the ground as Naz let out a gasp. Malia quickly yanked him off but Taejun fell on his arm, causing him to yell, squeezing his eyes shut as his body went stiff from the immense pain.

Malia pushed the puny boy to the side, rushing to help Taejun up. Damn, did I really hit him that hard?

He sat up, folding over his hand. 

"Naz, get a nurse." Malia panicked.

Naz nodded as her and Jace ran to find a nurse. The puny boy stayed on the floor, glaring at Taejun as Sara held his arm, making sure he didn't try to pull the same trick.

Soyeon was still in my hold as I held both of her hands behind her back. She pulled forwards, trying to get to her brother but I pulled her back, cuffing one of her hands.

"Let me help my brother!" she protested as I hesitated, stopping at the second cuff for a second. 

Taejun let out another cry, standing up with the help of Malia. He stumbled forwards, sweat dripping down his forehead and his face red. Malia held him up by his shoulders as he was practically falling onto her.

He looked at Soyeon with such pain, I almost felt an ounce of pity. I must have shattered the bones in his arms and knuckles.

"Get off!" Soyeon roared, breaking all the windows and disorientating me from the high pitched scream. She slipped out of my hold and back hand slapped me while turning around to face me. Her hand ran across my cheek causing me to grunt.

Her eyes glowed white and I felt Taejun's mana pressure increase, as he pushed himself to stand up properly. He looked down at Malia with pure white eyes and I could feel Malia hesitantly shrink. 

Soyeon rushed to him, pulling him out of Malia's grasp and checking his arm. 

I stared at their bond, feeling bad that I would have to ruin the moment in a second. Suddenly, Taejun's arm started to reform at Soyeon's touch and something in the air started to feel uneasy.

I looked at Malia who looked just as confused. Not even a millisecond later, she let out a gasp, leaping forward to break their linked hands but it was too late. 

A wave of wind emitted from them, making me and Malia crash into the wall of the hall. 

Both of them squeezed each other's hands, increasing their mana pressure. Were they crazy using this much power indoors?

I stood back up but was smashed into the wall again due to their wind magic. Malia on the other hand, sat up behind them with a quiet glare of annoyance. I could tell she was done being nice.

"You chose this. You peasant. How dare you touch my brother?" Soyeon's voice resonated in the air.

"Sit." Malia uttered.

"What?" Taejun replied, chuckling.

"Sit!" we both reiterated, our voices echoing each other, almost harmonising and syncing. 

My mana and her spirit magic mingled and something in us felt like our powers were being merged. The atmosphere became heavy and an immense power made both of them kneel in submission. 

They struggled to move or even breathe due to the immense pressure.

I walked over to their sides and handcuffed them both with anti-mana handcuffs before releasing my mana pressure. 

"I'll kill you. Just wait." Taejun glared at me, as Naz and Jace teleported in with a nurse and a few other disciplinary committee members who rushed to my side and took them both away.

"What the hell was that?" Jace gasped, still in shock.

"I had a bad feeling about those two. They've definitely killed before and that wind ability of theirs is dangerous. If the school walls hadn't undermined their power I would've had to use more power to subdue them.." I replied.
