The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Das took a deep breath as he looked at Elena and said, "Who are you?"

Elena showed him her fist and said, "Want to know?"

"Come on" Das shrugged his shoulders and said, "You just said you and your twin sister both are one hundred percent identical. So how would I know if you are Elena or not"

Elena stared blankly at Das and said, "You can't know."

Das gulped down in tension and said, "So I would never know if you are Elena or not?"

"Only I can tell who is who. Even my parents and relatives can't identify who is who"

"I see."

'That's something I didn't want to know!'

Das inspected Elena from top to the point of her body he could see and said, "There has to be some difference."

"Well, there is one difference."

Das sighed in relief and said, "You should have told this earlier, you know?"

'She had me thinking for a while.'

Elena didn't say anything. She just kept giving Das a weird look.

"What's the difference?"

"We have different sizes."

"Hmm?"

'Different sizes in what?'

"Different sizes in hair?" Das asked.

Elena shook her head and said, "We have different sizes of breasts."

"Oh!" Das was both shocked and surprised.

"Sely has bigger than mine."

Das then snapped his finger and said, "So you are Elena."

Elena's face twitched and yelled, "Why did you assume that without giving any deep thought?!"

"Well," Das gazed moved from Elena's face to her chest and said, "I just guessed it."

Elena covered her chest as her face flushed and roared, "You were looking at my breasts!"

Das shook her hands together, making an 'X' sign, and said, "I wasn't!" 

"So how did you guess  that I am Elena?!"

"Well… I just did."

"I know my breasts are small, so no need to be considerate!"

"Whoa. Why are you angry even though I didn't do anything?"

"Don't you know talking about breast size is a very offensive and sensitive topic?"

"I didn't even say a word about breasts in the first place. And you don't talk about breasts with a boy either."

Elena puffed her cheeks and said, "They are still growing"

"I don't care."

"Say, Das," Elena leaned close to Das, resting half on her body on the desk, and said, "What type of breasts do you like?"

Das pushed Elena back by grabbing her face and said, "Shut up and focus on studying. Our exams start next week, and judging by your performance so far, I don't think you will make it."

Elena started studying while humming random songs.

Das was working on some of his business projects.

He stopped typing, and without looking at Elena, he said, "Elena."

"What?"

"Does your twin sister come to this school too?"

"No. She goes to university around the end of this city."

"I see."

'No wonder I haven't seen her--wait!'

"What did you say?"

"She goes to university--"

"How does she go to university?"

"Through bus."

"That's not what I meant! I am asking how can a fifteen-year-old go to university?!"

'I wanted to go too, but here I am, tutoring an idiot.'

"Who said she is fifteen?!"

"She is not?"

"No~ She is eighteen."

"Why is she eighteen, and you are fifteen?!"

"Who said I am fifteen!"

"You are not?"

She puffed her cheeks as she folded her arms and said, "I am eighteen."

Das blankly stared at her and then opened his mouth to say, "I don't believe you."

Elena took out her Identification card from her phone and showed him the screen.

"See? I am eighteen."

"I…"

Das checked her ID card as he started sweating and said, "No way."

'How can she be eighteen?'

"I am older than you, so you should treat me as your elder."

"Why is an eighteen-year-old girl doing in the first year of high school?"

"..."

"Oh! I get it!"

Das excitedly closed the lid of his laptop and said, "Because you are an idiot." 

Das then smirked and said, "I bet you failed and got held back, right?"

"You couldn't even pass high school entrance exams and spent two years clearing it, right?"

Elena didn't say anything. She just looked down at her feet.

"Am I right? Miss Idiot?"

"Right? Right? Right?" Das continued.

Elena then looked up at Das. 

Das stopped smirking and started sweating.

Elena's eyes were full of tears, and she was making a painful expression.

"Hey… Come on. You don't have to cry about--"

Elena suddenly stood up as he packed her bag.

"Wait. Where are you going? We still have to complete--"

"There are things you shouldn't make fun of," Elena said as she dashed out of the room, bursting into tears.

Das clenched his chest with his hands and said, "I didn't mean to make you cry."

"Dammit," he muttered.

'We were just messing around, weren't we?'

'And the mood was not serious at all.'

'I was just…. Trying to tease her.'

"I never thought she would cry"

'She was angry too.'

'I have made her cry many times, but it hurts… it hurts this time.'

"Dammit"

'Maybe it was a sensitive topic for her?'

"And whenever I made fun of her, she didn't leave as she did just now."

'Dammit'

Elena's crying face kept flashing before his eyes.

Das took a deep breath saying, "Maybe she is still here?"

"Maybe she is just pranking?"

'That has to be it!'

"Yeah! The Elena I know would never leave… me."

'I know nothing about her.'

"Dammit," he muttered.

Das got up from his chair in frustration and grabbed his bag.

"If I chase after her, I will catch up to her... maybe"

Das packed up his bag and ran out of the room.

He ignored the elevators and jumped down the stairs.

He dashed out of the school gate and started running towards Elena's house.

As soon as Das left the counseling room, four guys entered that room carrying a coffin in their hands, followed by the fifth boy.
