He closes the door and then waits for Mary to leave. After that, he continues his journey by foot. He is not lying about Hector living around this area. It’s just that the place itself can’t be reached with a car. He has to follow a footpath in a hilly area, until he finds one remote humble house near a small waterfall. Unfortunately, it seems like there’s no one in the house. He tries to knock on the door a few times, but no one answers him. In the end, due to how tired he is, he simply sleeps on the terrace, lying down on a humble long chair made of bamboo. “Well! It’s been so long since the last time I slept outside like this. I hope there’s no beast around this place.” Not long after he falls asleep there, towards midnight, a man comes to the house with a torch. The man is silent for a moment before entering the yard, and then takes out his knife. Dean feels the threat of danger, due to the evil emotion approaching him. He wakes up, but only finds Hector approaching very car
More students arrive at campus one by one, and they notice him running around like a mad man. The thing is, Dean is running without wearing a tracksuit, still with his hoodie and jeans, and a bag at his back.He looks more like a thief trying to get away from police, or a peeping tom who has just been caught peeping.“What’s wrong with him?”“Anyone knows that guy?”“He is Dean Morton, from the Faculty of Sociology.”“Oh, you mean that Dean Moron, the red head guy?”They just burst laughing as Dean runs past them.But then, not long after they hang around in that parking area, they see Dean coming back, at a higher pace than before.Clearly, if anyone uses a speed-gun device and tries to gauge Dean’s pace, he is currently running near 40 Km/hour. And yet, Dean hasn’t realized how fast he is, because he still feels he can be faster than that.“Shit! That’s my 50 laps. I still have a long way to go,” he mumbles with an awry face, not realizing that the guy who ordered him to run is no l
“Paladin? Holy Knight? What the hell are you talking about?” replies Dean with an annoyed face. “Didn’t you see what I just did? Don’t you understand what I feel right now?” Mary is taken aback by Dean’s reaction. She thought that Dean was born with that talent and physical prowess. But it seems like that’s not the case here. She finds Dean in so much confusion, and looks so scared with his own condition. “Don’t tell me you never realized you had this much talent in you?” asks Mary. “What talent are you talking about?” “Look, you can see the dark entities, and even be able to exterminate evil spirits, which indicates you have talent in the spiritual aspect. And aside from that, you are also blessed with physical prowess. Not many people have this much talent like you do. Some of us are only blessed with only one, not all of them,” explains Mary. “Is this about the fantasy story in one of the novels you are currently reading?” asks Dean in confusion. Mary doesn’t get the chance to
Everyone knows it was a vicious foul, a deliberate one with the intention to hurt someone. But no one blows the whistle. Dean can even hear Tiana’s shouting, giving Theo a congratulation for what that big dude did to him. “That’s what you get for letting a weakling like him play,” Theo sneers with a satisfied smile. “Hey, Marcus! Take that boy out of the court already.” Dean gets up, feeling some pain in his back. He just walks out while rubbing his neck. Somehow, it only takes about 15 seconds, before all the pain in his body is gone. But he doesn’t care about the pain in the slightest bit. He sits on the bench, with steady breathing, flat face, but eyes so cold like a death fish’s eyes. There’s no emotion in his facial expression. But inside his head, he keeps imagining, what if he were a superhero with a superpower. His clenched fists keep shaking a bit for every time he pummels Theo’s face inside his head. Until at some point, he starts thinking, he could just do it in realit
Dean picks the ball, makes a fast dribble, and then makes a jump even before reaching the free throw line, flying so high intending to make a one-handed dunk.He even jumps across the pathetic Theo, and then slams the ring as hard as he might.Bang!!!Crash!It makes the loudest dunk in history, and breaks the tampered glass of the ring backboard. Everyone’s jaws are dropping. Even Dean himself is shocked with what he just did.“Shit! I overdid it!”But Theo, he is still looking down in desperation with a blank mind. And Dean just stares down at him flatly.“I don’t have any interest in seeing you running naked. But if you are a man, you shouldn’t take back your words,” Dean reprimands him about the condition of that game.Dean feels bad for destroying the backboard. But no one dares to blame him, because he broke it in a clean play.He walks out of that basketball court, and finds Mary standing at the exit door.“Don’t you realize it yet? Basketball is not for you,” says Mary with a
Mary feels a bit doubtful to visit Mrs. Palmer. She doesn’t want to expose her identity as a witch in front of Albert Lawson. But she can’t simply cancel her intention. “Hey, Dean!” Mary halts him. “Whatever happens, never tell anyone about what you did yesterday.” “What I did yesterday?” mumbles Dean in a bit confused. “About how you cured Mrs. Palmer’s mental illness, just keep acting ignorant, you hear me?” “Oh, okay!” When Albert Lawson sees Mrs. Palmer being busy with the maids in the kitchen, he looks quite shocked by it. “Uh, honey! Your mom?” mumbles Albert as he is welcomed by his wife. “Yes! She is getting better now.” “Since when?” “Yesterday! Thanks to Dean, he… Oh, that’s him. How are you doing Dean? Mary?” “Hi, Mrs. Lawson! How is your mom?” asks Mary as a greeting. “There, she is in the kitchen right now.” Mary takes a look at the kitchen from afar, and there she notices Mrs. Palmer. And it seems like Mrs. Palmer is a bit displeased, and it’s clearly written
Albert Lawson looks baffled by Jay’s words. “Jay! What was that?” “Well, he came to me before, saying that I’m not worthy to be with Monica,” explains Jay. “Dean?” Albert averts his attention to Dean. “Why would you say that? Don’t you know that he is the son of the Mayor of Dildior city?” “Who knows?” Jay rebukes by raising his shoulders a bit. “I thought he was only jealous. But it seems like he no longer cares about that after getting a girlfriend for himself.” Dean can’t stand it, and just fastens his step to leave that house. Mary gives them an awkward smile, and leaves. Monica immediately gets up and leaves them with a sullen face. And Jay, he chuckles with an amused face. Surely, he doesn’t care at all why she is acting like that. Dean looks impatient to enter Mary’s car. Mary uses the keys to unlock it remotely, only then is Dean able to open the door. “Who was that annoying guy?” asks Mary as she starts the car. “He is Monica’s boyfriend. It was Monica’s step father wh
Mary doesn’t want to be so pushy, so she decides to wait. But then, when it’s already past 10 am, she loses her patience, and makes a call.Fortunately, Dean is currently having a rest, so she doesn’t have to wait for too long to get an answer.“Hi, Mary! What is it?” asks Dean naively.[What is it my ass! Why didn’t you call me? If you really don’t want to go out with me today, at least send me a message!]Dean immediately takes his phone away from his ear.“Hold on, hold on, hold on! It’s not like I don’t want to go with you. But, I have a training session with the basketball team right now. I just got invited yesterday soon after you left me.”[You could have told me, you jerk. I’m going to pick you! You better get prepared before I get there, you hear me!]“Eh, wait!”Actually, the training with the basketball team will be held until the late afternoon. But Mary actually picks Dean up at Braham University, just before midday.Her arrival becomes a sensation, because Mary comes dre
