Blessed by Night

Chapter 10: Hello… It’s Me

"What the hell happened to you!? My mom said she saw you last night but she didn't mention anything about this!!"

Serana was currently poking, pinching and prodding at Mal's face, chest, stomach and arms.

"Ah well.. I kinda got blessed after I left your place."

"YOU WHAT?!"

Not just Serana, but the entire class was now in shock.

This handsome guy was actually Malachi!

The same guy that used to come in and wouldn't ever speak to anyone!

His only friend in class was the hot girl he'd always sat next to!

"Haha, I know I'm a little taller but is it that surprising?"

"Who gives a fuck about your height you look like a male model!" Serana screamed.

Why was he acting like this was no big deal?!

Only 1 percent of the worldwide population get blessed so how does he not understand how monumental this is!

"Aren't you being a bit over dramatic?" Malachi tilted his head.

"NO!" The entire class yelled.

"Ah.." Malachi could only scratch his cheek in mild embarrassment.

Apparently he was better looking than he'd originally thought.

Who knew?

Suddenly the door opened and the teacher came in.

Dr. Victor Andrews was a highly decorated teacher famed for his literary works and informative lectures.

"Alright it's time for class kids.."

He sighed deeply before looking up to see a group of students swarmed around an attractive young man.

He didn't remember having a kid this handsome in his class but honestly he didn't remember half his students anyways.

"Hey you."

"Hm?" Malachi pointed at himself. "Me?"

"Yea you, take those sunglasses off you're inside."

Malachi flinched. "Teach I really don't think you'd be comfortable-"

"Well I'm touched that you're concerned but either take those off or get out."

Suppressing the urge to zap this professor immediately, Malachi removed his sunglasses for the first time and revealed his new eyes to the entire class.

"Oh my god.."

"That's awesome!"

"I want him!"

While the other students found Malachi's eyes to be cool or even charming, it's because they weren't looking directly into them.

For those that held prolonged eye contact with him like his professor was currently doing, Mal's eyes were incredibly unnerving and made him feel like a mouse standing in front of a lion.

Even when he turned his back, he could still feel the intense gaze boring holes into his back causing him to sweat profusely.

He ended up ending class a whole thirty minutes early just to get away.

"Hey Mal are you busy right now? You gotta come by the restaurant!"

After class let out Serana was excitedly chatting with Mal.

After she'd gotten over his drastic transformation, they'd been able to resume normal conversation and she was now inviting him to her home again as they left campus.

Malachi checked his new golden watch.

It was currently 1 o'clock and his meeting with the immortal moon guild that Aisha set up wasn't scheduled until six so he had plenty of time to go and hangout with her.

"Sure let's go. I wonder how Sei's doing." Malachi wondered aloud with a charming grin as the duo walked towards his car.

Serana was so distracted by the excitement of riding in the nicest car she'd ever seen that she'd forgotten to mention that she'd ended up giving away his biggest secret to her mother the night before.

As the duo left the parking lot, they didn't realized they were being watched by a young pretty girl who was making a sad expression.

Her phone suddenly buzzed and her mood only worsened when she realized she'd just received a message from the last person she wanted to see right now.

'Mal.. I think I really might've made a mistake.'

-

Upon entering Sei's restaurant, Malachi was happy to see there were a few customers today and they appeared to be enjoying the food.

They were mostly older people and one young boy and his father.

Serana had him take a seat and went to go grab her mother in the kitchen so he was currently sitting at a table alone scrolling mindlessly on his new phone.

Eventually he got bored since he'd lost all his contacts and simply stared out the window into the busy street.

As he watched people walk by busy with their everyday lives he couldn't help but think about how much his life had changed in one night.

This was the happiest he'd been in a very long time.

'Do not be complacent for a single second.'

Malachi was shaken from his happy thoughts when he remembered the words of the rowdy lightning god who'd blessed him.

'That's right.. I have to keep growing. I don't even know how to use all of my powers yet.'

He materialized a small ball of golden fire in his palm and watched the flames crackle silently.

Even if he knew things were about to get very serious… he could not suppress the grin that formed on his face.

This shit was too cool!

"Woahhh!"

Suddenly, a small boy rushed over to Malachi when he saw him playing with the ball of fire in his palm.

"Hey mister are you a blessed?"

Malachi was slightly embarrassed when he saw the reaction he was getting.

"Yea, I guess I am."

"So cool! Are you strong like Alex Heller?"

"I don't know kid, I just got my powers yesterday." Malachi chuckled and honestly answered the kid's question.

At this moment the kid's father ran up and tried to scold his child.

"I'm sorry I hope he wasn't a bothe- what the fuck!"

At this moment the father saw the golden flames in Malachi's palm and nearly forgot why he'd even come over in the first place.

"Daddy look this guys a blessed!"

"I-I see.."

At this time the customers in the restaurant had begun to crowd around Malachi and stared at him in awe.

"Umm I don't think I've seen you anywhere before." The father of the small boy had gotten over his initial shock and was now curious about Mal's identity.

"Yea I haven't exactly signed with a guild yet."

"Well do you mind if we get a picture?"

Malachi was slightly flustered but in the end he obliged.

He took pictures with the young boy and his father and afterwards a few more people wanted to take pictures with him as well.

Sei wiped the copious amounts of sweat from her forehead as she was pulled from the kitchen by her daughter.

"What's so important, Serana? I have work to do kiddo."

"I know mom I know but I promise this is totally crazy!"

'Why's it so rowdy out there?' Sei became worried when she heard a commotion as she got closer and closer to the seating area.

She hoped there was nothing wrong with a customer's meal.

Pushing open the door to the front, Sei saw her small crowd of customers gathered around the most gorgeous man she'd ever seen.
