6 Unanswered Questions

"Oh my gosh! What happened?!"

Green whispered loudly as he entered the room and saw the gory state that Jack was in.

"Huh?!"

Jack quickly looked up in surprise as Green walked in

'What the hell is this kid doing here? I was pretty sure that no one was watching me when I entered here.... I should've locked the door after I entered'

"Y..y.. you're injured"

Green stuttered as his eyes trailed from the bleeding bruises on Jack's face to his torn clothes that were soaked in blood then finally, it landed on the first aid box that was open before him.

"Obviously I am"

Jack replied while gritting his teeth, no one was supposed to have seen him, now he would have to erase the poor kid's memory.

"You... You're different from we normal humans right?"

Green asked him

He was slightly taken aback by the question but he quickly regained his composure and looked closely at Green

'Nice intuition kid' he thought

"You're different too"

Jack said to him, referring to his abnormal features

"I know, that's something that the world never fails to remind me of every single day... I will never fit in"

Jack could detect a great deal of sadness in Green's voice as he spoke

'You know... It won't hurt to tell the boy about myself, after all I'll still erase his memory..'

Jack thought to himself then said

"Yes, I'm different"

"I knew it!"

Green sounded elated, as if he had discovered the cure for a deadly virus

"What are you? Are you a superhero?"

"Haha... Nice try"

Jack smiled at Green's childish excitement

"I'm something akin to a superhero but technically, I'm not one"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm a mage..."

Jack leaned forward to say it as if he was telling a secret.

Actually, he was telling a secret because the magic users in the world were very few in number and though they owned several organizations, they chose to hide their abilities from the world to avoid unnecessary conflict.

"Mage? As in you can use magic?"

Green asked, his green pupils were glistening with excitement

"Yes.."

'Wow, that explains how he was able to disappear from the woods and appear in the school'

Green thought before saying

"Cool"

"Yeah... I bet it is. Wanna see something cool?"

Jack asked

"Hell yeah"

Jack then beckoned him to come closer, he had no intention of showing Green anything cool, he just wanted to erase Green's memory, so as Green bent down to see what he wanted to show him, he put his right hand on Green's head and a warm white glow appeared on his hand as he tried to erase the last memory but as he did that, for a brief moment, he saw himself in cold, empty darkness with two huge green eyes looking down at him. Even though the experience didn't last more than one second, the pressure that Jack felt was intense, something akin to that of Tenebris.

"Wha..."

He trailed off as he realized that Green had a far greater power inside him

"What is it that you want to show me?"

Green asked impatiently

"N..n.. never mind.. can you just promise not to tell anyone what you saw here?"

Jack asked, totally flustered that his memory erasure technique could not work on a mere high school student

"Oh... Okay"

Green said and backed away, he was a little bit disappointed

"Yeah, thanks"

Jack said and stood up, he had finished applying the first aid on himself

"Time to go"

"Oh... Goodbye Mr mage"

Green said to him, silently hoping that he would disappear in front of him.

When Jack noticed Green's damp mood, he placed a hand on his shoulder and said

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon and I'll show you lots of cool things. I give you my word"

"What makes you think that I'll believe you?"

Green shot at him

"Don't worry, you'll know when next you see me. For now, I gotta go"

With these words, he walked past Green, into the corridor and out of the building

Green was still standing there staring at empty space when a voice blared through the speakers

"It is lights out students, all students should report to their rooms. I repeat, it is lights out students, all students should report to their rooms"

'Who is he?'

'Who was he fighting with and why did they fall out of the sky?'

'What does he mean by when next I see him?'

With so many unanswered questions in his head, Green finally dragged himself lazily to his room.

***

'That kid... The magic inside him is something I've never felt in my entire life. It doesn't even have an affinity, just that weird green color...weird"

Jack thought as he hid in one of the school's vehicles that was leaving the premises. Just like Tenebris, he couldn't use teleportation to leave the school because his magic power had been severely depleted during the battle.

'Ah man.... I've got a lot of research on my hands right now. First, the new attacker and second, this kid's power... Things are getting interesting'

***

In a huge dimly lighted office, a slim tall man in a multi colored checkered suit sat on the huge leather chair behind his huge table, the name pennon on his desk read

'Wilhelm Stubbe, Principal's

He clasped his two hands together and put them in front of his nose, just below his glasses as he watched the video on the computer screen in front of him.

In one frame, it showed when two people fell out of the sky and one of them teleported away, in the next frame, it showed an intimidating man walking towards the school gate with his head faced down, the security man accosted him and after exchanging a few words, he led him to the gate and opened it for him. Wilhelm rewinded the video to the frame when the intimidating man raised his head then he zoomed the video closer so that he could get a better look at Tenebris' face.

"Interesting"

He couldn't help saying aloud as he saw the expression on Tenebris' face.

'I must recruit this man before anybody else'

With this thought, he grabbed the telephone on the desk and dialed a number.

"Hello Bernard"

"Hello sir"

"Do you still have him?"

"Yes sir"

"Alright send me the coordinates, I'm coming to meet him"

"Eh?! I'm sorry sir, did I hear you say you're coming by yourself?!"

"Yes, is anything wrong?"

Wilhelm's voice became low and the man on the other end knew the implication of that so he quickly added

"N..No sir, I'll send the coordinates as quickly as possible"

"Good"

He said and hung up. Without wasting time, he dialed another number

"Hello Becky"

"Hello sir"

"Prepare the limo, I'll be leaving soon"

"Okay sir"

He returned the telephone and touched the bridge of his glasses with his index finger while closing his eyes

'It's time...'

***

With the help of his hypnosis and memory control powers, Tenebris was able to secure a luxurious suite in one of the five star hotels in Obsidian City.

He stepped out of the bathroom in his white flip-flops with a huge white cotton robe wrapped around his body into the large room, he had ordered them to dim the lights since he didn't like too much brightness so the room was a bit dark. He walked up to one of the tables in the room and picked up a bottle of Jean-Marie Chauteau red alcoholic wine and helped himself to a glass of the luscious drink, with the stem of the glass held in between his index and middle finger, he walked up to the full wall window that provided a full view of the beautiful city.

'Primitive'

He scoffed at the sight that normal humans would assume to be beautiful.

Swirling the wine in the bottle, he took a sip and continued watching silently.

The red wine in the bottle reminded him of the man he had killed in the alley after absorbing his memories, he considered it a necessary casualty because he desperately needed the knowledge to survive in this realm.

Then with an evil smile, he said

"Don't worry, your sacrifice will not be forgotten..."

Suddenly, the telephone started ringing

DRRRING!

Tenebris ignored it

DRRRING!

It rang again, this time Tenebris looked at it as if it was an enemy before walking up to it.

"Mr Bristene here..."

Bristene was the name that Tenebris adopted to use in his negotiations in the human realm.

"Hello Mr Bristene, there's someone here that wants to meet you..."

The feminine voice said politely over the phone

"Not interested"

He said and hung up, after that, he walked to the luxurious leather sofa and sat down by the artificial fireplace with the wine glass still in his hand.

'I have to find a way to beat that guy and find Regina's power, that is much more important than any trash that wants to meet me'

He thought as he relaxed and took another sip from the glass.
