Blessed by Night

Chapter 9: First Day Out

"Oh my god it's her!"

"Who is that guy next to her, he's gorgeous…"

"What the hell is he wearing?"

"His eyes are so scary…"

"He must be a blessed but I've never seen him before."

Currently, Aisha, Aubrey and Malachi were walking throughout a luxurious mall.

Malachi found some of his dad's old clothes that just barely fit him and was able to squeeze them on so that he could look somewhat decent.

While he still looked slightly out of place in his father's old faded clothes, his body was covered and therefore he could go out to shop and get new ones.

Normally, Aubrey was much too afraid to come out of the house for any reason but somehow Aisha was able to coax her into coming with them.

Though when considering her reputation, it wasn't hard to understand why.

While normally blessed were always swarmed by fans and most enjoyed the attention, Aisha was careful to make her dislike of crowds and strangers well known to the public.

The first time a man approached her with a phone in his hand, she took it from him and stuck it up his ass.

Naturally it made several headlines and when she asked for the reasoning behind it her answer was simple.

'I don't like people running up to me and sticking their phones in my faces for their bullshit ThemTube videos or some stupid ass social media app.'

After that, there seemed to always be an invisible wall around Aisha whenever she went out which is why she could travel without security.

And currently, Aubrey and Malachi were piggybacking on her infamy to get a problem free mall visit.

The group's first stop was the sunglasses shack.

The girls had both complained to him that his eyes were really intense and made them feel like they were standing in front of a predator.

Malachi still hadn't looked at himself in the mirror so he had no idea what the girls were getting at but he obliged them nonetheless.

"What about these?" Aisha picked up an expensive looking pair of black sunglasses.

Malachi gingerly took the sunglasses from Aisha's hand.

Before they'd left the house, Aisha had gone over some basic exercises that he could do to control his monstrous new strength.

He was now able to pick up things without obliterating them again.

Though he almost forgot everything he'd learned when he saw the price tag on the glasses he'd just been handed.

"These… are over 700 dollars.." Malachi said in disbelief.

"Yea, do you like them?" Aisha wasn't bothered by the price in the slightest.

She'd spent billions to buy her own anime studio in Japan so that she could force- I mean pay people to animate her favorite manga and light novels.

A measly 700 dollars was nothing to her.

"I could only afford to buy them if I sold everything I own." Malachi chuckled and prepared to put the glasses back before Aisha stopped him.

"I know you can't afford these yet idiot. That's why I'll be buying everything today."

"What? I could never let you-"

"Just pay me back later once you sign with the guild and stop whining."

Malachi proceeded to open and close his mouth like a goldfish before he finally gave up and let Aisha buy whatever she felt like he needed.

All in all he got a nice pair of sunglasses, an entirely new wardrobe from multiple designer brands, a new phone and they even had time to get a new car before it was time for Malachi to head to class.

Aubrey elected to stay and hangout with Aisha for a while before they split up.

Malachi said a silent prayer that his friend would not taint his sister's innocence and drove to school.

-

Malachi attended a very famous institution in the south of the United States.

While it was known more famously for its athletic programs, it's academic requirements were quite stringent as well.

Malachi had found his standard parking spot and before he'd even stepped out of the car he was attracting tons of attention.

The car he'd gotten was actually the newest top of the line Evade Rusher.

He and his dad had always loved muscle cars and it was a bit of a dream of theirs to one day be able to afford one.

The gag was they didn't even buy this one!

As soon as Aisha walked into the dealership she was offered the car for free by the owner if she agreed to take two photos, one for the company page and another for his family.

That was how deep the influence of the blessed ran in society.

"My gods who is that?"

"A new student?"

"He's so handsome.."

"Go and try to talk to him!"

As soon as Malachi stepped out of the car, the entire parking lot became abuzz.

In this day and age seeing divinely beautiful people was fairly normal.

Not only because of the blessed, but because magic infused beauty products were also floating around on the market, though they were very expensive.

But this man getting out of the car was somehow leagues above all of them!

The sun glimmered perfectly off of his rich chocolate skin making him look positively radiant.

He wore a simple white button down shirt with clean black slacks and neat leather shoes.

His long dreads dangled freely around his waist and blew majestically in the wind.

His simple yet stylish outfit, combined with his heaven defying looks made it look like he was heading for a photo shoot instead of a literature class.

Naturally, Mal could see everyone staring at him but he thought they were just curious about his car.

It was the latest model after all.

He'd finally had a chance to look at himself in the mirror when he changed clothes earlier and while he could admit he'd changed a lot, he wasn't that much more handsome than before right?

Because of the noise canceling earbuds in his ear to help with his new enhanced hearing, he couldn't hear the whispers directed towards him either.

'Come to think of it, I wonder if she'll be in class today?'

-

Upon entering into the classroom, Malachi of course turned heads once again and the class that was once abuzz was now deadly silent.

But now Mal was taking extra care not to look around.

Melanie was in this class and even if he did not look at her, he could smell her.

She used a special peach body wash that Mal had memorized in hopes of buying her some as a gift.

He went to his seat and promptly sat down and prepared to wait for the class to start, only to be swarmed by a few other students only seconds later.

"Hi, are you new here?"

"What's your name? Can we be friends?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Nice to meet you man!"

"That car in the parking lot is yours right?"

Mal's head was spinning.

Even though none of these people had ever been malicious to him, they still had never paid him any attention.

Suddenly having people be so chatty towards him was slightly unnerving.

"Been here the whole semester." Mal responded dryly.

"No way!"

"You're a real cutie and you're tall as hell too there's no way I would've missed you."

"His voice really does something for me.."

"This guy's funny!"

As the group giggled aloud and tried to converse with who they believed to be a new student, a young woman pushed past the group and stared directly at Malachi.

"Excuse me but do you mind moving? My friend and I usually sit here together."

When Malachi saw who asked, he couldn't suppress a happy grin that made the hearts of every woman present skip a beat.

"What's good Serana? Been a minute."

Serana stared blankly at this extremely charming stranger.

"Do I.. know you or something?"

Malachi realized he'd be facing a lot of awkward situations like this in the future.

"It's me, Malachi."

"Don't joke with me my friend doesn't look anything like you! Are you gonna move or not."

Malachi sighed. "If I'd have known you were this much of a dumbass I would've charged your mom more to tutor you."

He paused for a moment before taking back his words, "Nah, what am I saying. Your mom's so gorgeous I probably would've tutored you for free."

Hearing those words caused Serana's pupils to tremble as she stared at the man in front of her in a new light.

She only knew one man who was degenerative enough to call her mother hot to her face.

"Mal?!"

"Duh."
