“Hi,” said the man. “I didn’t mean to interrupt, but is there a problem?”“Master Lazarus!” Jared immediately kissed the hand of the man – Lazarus. Theodore followed him.“Is there something disturbing your mind?” Lazarus looked worried at Jared.“Nothing at all, Sir.”“I don’t think so.”Lazarus put his hand on Jared’s head. His face was as cold as Jared’s. Theodore watched in silence, and then suddenly, Jared’s eyes twisted until only the white part was visible. Theodore was about to interrupt. He thought Lazarus was hurting Jared. But suddenly, Jared looks better. Jared looked in all directions, his gaze full of questions.“Are you all right, Jared?” Theodore lunged at Jared with a worried question.“What happened?”“You ask? Don’t you remember what happened?”Jared shook his head. Theodore is increasingly worried about Jared’s attitude. After Jared’s strange behaviour of trying to push him away, he feels like he just lost his memory. All this happened after Lazarus came. Theodore

“YOUR TURN LITTLE BUDDY!”A man in uniform pushes Theodore before he realizes it. Theodore fell to the ground. The dust covered him, and his skin was scratched by sharp pebbles. He then stood up and started running into the training arena.The trainers are not part of the professors who teach them in the classroom. They may be part of the military or an unofficial part. This explains how strict they were in training the disciples. In addition, they are not at all soft. The coaches did not hesitate to hit anyone who dared to fight or anyone weak. Theodore immediately crawled under the entwined chains. It passes through a steep path filled with sharp pebbles. He grimaced in pain when wire or gravel scratched his skin several times. The wire above was only ten inches from his back, making it difficult for him to move without getting hurt. Theo only occasionally looks ahead because it makes it difficult for him to move. He often looked down even though his face was rubbing the ground. Tha

While Theo fights the crocodiles, Jared looks around and hopes to find a way out.“There! In the middle of the pool, we can reach a long rope!”Theo followed Jared’s direction. He realized a rope – the only longest rope that reached the pool’s surface.“So that’s why they put the longest rope in there?” Theo muttered. “This is indeed their goal. Let’s hurry to the middle of the pond.”The depth of the pool reaches their chest. It is enough for them to move without fear of drowning. Jared fights the crocodiles with a stick he found earlier, while Theodore fights with his own hands. They help each other. When a crocodile attacks Jared, Theo catches the crocodile and wrestles it until it dies. And when Theodore was suddenly attacked from behind by a crocodile while he was off guard, Jared immediately hit the crocodile with his stick. They continue to do so until they reach the middle of the pond.“You go up first,” said Theodore.“Got it.”Jared grabbed the rope and climbed up as fast as

Rank B is filled by ten students. Rank C is filled by nineteen students. The D rank is filled by twenty-five students. Finally, Rank F is filled by more students, namely thirty-seven students.“The Rank F students are the ones who withdrew in the middle of the exam. I feel sorry for them for what they got. However, a fair system provides equality for all students. Geniuses in Ranks A through B will get privileges. And the Rank F will lose some of their rights in this school. Those of you who are in the ranks of C and D do not get privileges, nor do you get a reduction in your rights.”Immediately, the room became crowded, and students talked about this with each other. Many of them felt that it was unfair to divide the ranks. Especially the Ranks D and F, they can not protest directly but just whisper. They may feel intimidated if they protest directly. Meanwhile, Theodore carefully watched the atmosphere, which suddenly became tense in this room. They don’t even touch the food in fro

Professor James unbuttoned the top two buttons of the shirt. “Let me show you.” He then pulled the pigeon out of the cage, covered with black cloth. The Dove flaps its wings when the light shines on it. The pigeon looked panicked, perhaps stressed because it was locked in the dark. Professor James then began to look at the pigeon until the pigeon slowly acted calmer than before. And the poor pigeon really stopped like a mannequin. Professor James opened the cage and pulled the pigeon out like a toy. The pigeon froze like a lifeless object even as Prof James placed it on a table without brackets.“I ordered this dove to be silent like a statue,” said The Professor. “He obeyed my orders as he should have. Just like Theodore did yesterday. Which one of you can make it move again?”Professor James looked at the students one by one. Waiting for one of them to raise his hand to answer, but nothing at all.“Theodore, can you try one more time?”Theodore swallowed hard before moving forward.
