"I am yet to think about how best to go about our plans." A realization struck Rafael and he spoke aloud."But you have made a good suggestion already. You suggested we sneak in instead of making our presence known but are free to act otherwise after confirming that Gregor really needed help." Levi reminded him."When did I..... Oh." He remembered. "But I don't think that is enough already."You can always suggest more the door is not yet closed till the mission is accomplished let's not keep them waiting." Levi replied as he slid into clothes good enough for the little distance they were about to travel and the duo followed suit.****"They are not yet here." Abbie noticed on arriving at the agreed location. "Yeah, you shouldn't expect to them to get here before we do. You know we were already in our way when we went them texts." Erica replied but Abbie's mind was already fixed on something else. The scenes of the previous night kept repeating in her head as she looked at the depres
On taking control and charge of the earth and assuming the position of its protectors, the celestials abolished many customs and ways of life of the earthlings which they claimed sprouted forth from human greed and selfishness. Only few were still in practice especially the human culture which were centered on orderliness.In all celestial academies, the normal days for classes remained Mondays till Fridays but even so the new arrivals in the celestial academy of the headquarters were allowed to stay back in their hostel and rest so they were not bothered by the alarms reminding them of the days job. Most of them were still resting from the tiring activities of the previous day but a few had awoken amongst these few were those in the woods not very faraway from their dormitories racking their heads on how best to save their kidnapped teacher and principal some others were already certain that they would never be able to raise their shoulders up in pride all through their stay in the ac
He was still glued to his seat when other students began to leave but in his mind refused several ways to make it to the hostel without being confronted by any member of his gang. He stood up at once and with large strides he, made for the door exit but just when he got to his class' door, He found himself face to face with a fellow pawn in the gang who had come to get him. Pawn was a name given to the weakest or the and the lowest class members of the gang. He shivered at the sight before him but had no other escape plan which could get him away from the current situation.He almost forgot the hand offered to him for a shake by the one who intercepted him in his escape."Your palms is so wet." He observed but said nothing else."Did you help me collect the dues from my clients?" Xander asked hoping to get a miracle for a reply but no reply came from the surprised mouth of his partner in the gang. Client was a term they used for weaker students who they had coerced to doing their bidd
The students began chatting even louder after the principal had delivered his speech. Most of them did not talk about the fact that they would be joining the students of the headquarters who they have heard so much about in their classes although it bothered them so much that their reputation which was never strong had been reduced ed to cinders. They were bothered and discussed more about their beliefs and disbelief on the issue of Gregor switching sides. Some thought that he was not subjected to a light torture as it may seem, some believed that he had been working for the inverses all along, only a few doubted that he had really switched sides amongst thus few was Rafael and his friends who hurried up to meet the principal after his speech at his office.Principal Rojo was surprised when he heard that some students had fearlessly demanded to see him alone in his office but did not object."We can help you locate where Principal Luke is being held captive but we have our conditions
Rafael's excitement was immediately replaced by shock. A moment ago he was growing happier by the second as he thought he was already convincing a man who he had earlier thought was impossible to convince but the event that followed was totally unexpected. He never saw it coming their way but at that moment, it was already before them staring menacingly and bearing in mind that there was nothing they could do.Get me one of the highest ranking staff in their school he sent a female staff off as well as he surfed through their records from the names they had provided. Soon enough, a woman with a hard face entered his office alongside the messenger."Is there any remarkable achievements I should know about these your students: Abbie Luther, Rafael, Levi Peters, Jerry Marriott and Erica Tad. Do they have any achievements worth the mention?" As he listed their names Ms Debby's eyes widened and she readied her ears to hear the worst of information; probably the death of some promising stu
On other occasion, Rafael would have fought alongside his friends to escape the punishment which was imposed on him for only offering to help but he knew that in this case, they were also doing them a favour by going by their terms and conditions so he did not fight back even if he could not minding the system's task notifications which kept popping up his mind to atleast escape from him as he was much more stronger than they were. No doubt his torture consisted of several offensive words and painful moves which hurt him do deeply that he vowed inwardly to teach Ryan a lesson anytime he finds himself in a position to. He was already getting to the limits of his endurance and was preparing for his first attack which would atleast destabilize Ryan giving them the opportunity to come at him at once then escape afterwards. He knew that this would even prove them before the principal as someone who is not easily bullied but just before he sprung to action having signalled the rest, The doo
"What then got you into Principal Rojo's office she asked the next question that was bothering her."Rafael did not want to answer her questions first. He wanted to know what her view and stand on Gregor's case was and from that decide the best way to tell her the reason they had gone into principal Rojo's office. Unlike every other day when just like every other students they feared Ms Debby Just like their principal, she spoke to them like peers so Rafael did not find it very difficult to inquire what her view was before giving her a suitable reply."Do you really think that Gregor had betrayed us? Do you think that just like many people believes that he was the one who tricked our principal into the hands of the inverse soldiers?"Ms Debby did not feel even a bit offended when she was asked this question I stead of getting a reply for this question. She had seen Gregor in action unlike many others. She did not hold him in high esteem like principal Luke and few other staff did unti
Most of the students from Rafael's school found the headquarters severely intolerable and longed to back to the academy from which they came from but it was unfortunate that it was not within their powers to get it done. They could only remain where they had been asked to stay and wish otherwise.The weather and just like their moods was silent and gloomy. The guest dormitory where they stayed was just as quiet as it had always been. but all of a sudden, it became noisy and rowdy. From the mood in the air and the noisy voices all over the building it became obvious that they had been visited by people who had not been within the dormitory. all along."You all have been advised in your own interests to gather at the hostel hall or face deadly penalties for disobedience." Several voices chanted allover the hostel then all of a sudden they all changed their words at once. "You have a minute to comply with our directives or face the repercussions. After ten seconds, the countdown was repe
Principal Rojo spent some moments inspecting the fallen Jerry. He wasn't sure he had seen very correctly. "What powers was this which I just saw?" He found it difficult to believe and digest the fact that the boy he just knocked out tried to use the power of lightning against him. That he definitely had never seen. "Lock him up in a different cell. Make sure they lack nothing and keep them guarded always. He ordered no one but soon another group of staff came running to do his bidding. He continued towards the door and tugged at it to open it. But was unable to do so. When he tried harder he noticed that unless he destroyed the door he would be unable to pass through it. He didn't need to think so much before he realized that however it was done, it was obvious that the door was locked by one of the students to prevent his passage. Levi wouldn't let him cross after he had knocked Jerry out. "You would certainly grow to be bigger if you continue this way I really encourage this." He
With more zeal than anytime ever before, the students from principal Luke's academy assembled when they were invited to the dormitory hall. It was now no news to them that their hero was yet to return from the principal's home and needed an explanation for that. Many especially those who now thought him close friends of theirs were already preparing to go demand an explanation from the principal when he came to them. They eagerly went to meet him to hear what he had to say and when he got satisfied with their numbers he began to speak. "As punishment for their several categories of crimes, those who worked with the inverses are punished by being infected with the beast's virus. Most of these people become crazed beasts of theirs which they easily deploy to deadly battles but on special advantages to them, very few of them become first-class infectos. These people are very useful to them and could be easily mistaken to be normal human beings when in truth they can be best described as
Rafael was mad at how the little boy made him bleed from his mouth and especially made him get hungrier than he already was but he could only bite his lips bearing the pain. Of course, he would not want to create a bad impression of himself by fighting them all even if he was strong enough to. Even that he doubted he was able to do. On the other hand, the boy who looked like the least infected of the infecto trio felt like he was being underrated for being small instead of being respected in the place where he ruled. He did not take Rafael's ignorance as honesty. The only way to establish his position before him was to make him see what death looked like and plead for his life. This he thought and that he did. "Make a feast out of him." He commanded the other boy who seemed to have been eagerly waiting for this moment. In a jiffy, he untied him from the pole in his cell and without unbinding him grinned widely and roared as he lifted him off the ground with ease. His roar was rep
Unquestionably, Jess genuinely missed their days of training and collaborative duels when they both came out at the top of their squad by working together. The collaboration between the strong and the cunning fox obviously looked nothing short of amazing and the impact of their attacks was nothing a little less than deadly. It always thrilled everyone that their collaborative techniques looked harmlessly beautiful but at the same time was very fatal; a thing no one dared to mess with but at the moment things had gotten more serious that they barely had time to even sharpen their collaborative battle techniques much less go on a mission together. She had always dreamt of the day they would fight by each other's side once more but never had she thought that the enemy would be so huge at this moment the thought of who their enemy was made her dread his insinuation. All along she had not seen that request coming else she would have found means of preventing him from bringing it up but
"I don't think dumping him inside the infecto camp in that manner is the best idea." A pretty middle aged lady replied respectfully with a slight frown on her face. "But he is an infectos and that's just where infectos are meant to be kept." Principal Rojo insisted calmly and instead of being disturbed by the woman's suggestions he slowly rested his back against his sofa. And turned his attention to scan through the pictures in his living room like he was just seeing it for the first time. "The other students who don't know what he really is would surely come to demand for their friend. It would have been for the best if instead of disposing him secretly, you publicly made an example of him after which you do away with him. What will you do when the students insist on seeing him?" "I am no criminal. What I did was just the supposed thing to do and so I would go to them and tell them what I have to tell them not waiting for them to come to demand from me. I am in charge here Jess an
Rafael was met with two shockers. First he could not understand why select was given to him as an option. Secondly the fact that the infectos just like beasts had cores.He tried to see what lay after the select and surprising to him another menu rolled out before him.[Absorb core][Reward: Select][Replenished health + 10 stat points][Reduce the beast virus in you + 3 stat points]"What the...." He subconsciously exclaimed. What really were infectos that they are able to reduce the beast virus in him?" Just when he asked rhetorically a theory began to unroll in his mind but just as he was about to make sense out of the logic he was distracted by a presence he felt behind him however before he could turn, a hard rock was smashed on his head and knocked the living daylight out of him even before he could feel pain.In response to his state at the moment, the chair he sat on became immaterial and he fell off from it to the floor to continue his deathlike sleep. Regin knowing that h
As Rafael was moving away from the scene where the fight just occured, he immediately remembered how low the girl had been and his conscience pricked him even more. "I might have even killed her after making her crash in such way he greatly feared. He tried to turn to look at her body but his heavy heat wouldn't just let him. He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. then summoned the courage to turn once more. With his heart beating so loudly, he turned to where he left her to die or survive but he could not see her. Again his brain cells judged him for being negligent. How the heck did he believe that only slam would be enough to take out one who has a monstrous stamina. The hairs on his body rose in fear and his whole flesh kept anticipating for a surprise attack but for a moment it seemed like it was not getting what it wanted immediately. He kept turning around cautiously to spot the girl wherever she was but failed to spot her. Once again he was scared out of his wits but
Never in Rafael's dreams did he imagine that the figure standing before him was the same which had tormented him for long. Was this really the way infectos behave? Scaring people out of their wits for no reason spectacular or dangerous!" He sighed in relief and at the same time felt ashamed of himself for behaving more like a little scared child. Standing before him was just a simple looking girl just the type of girl he loved to spend time with the most, The innocent looking nerd type. How he wished that they could chat a little both for the fun of it and to know more about what he has gotten into. His heart forgot to beat not because of how scary the creature before him looked but because he wondered what a harmless looking young lady like her was doing there in the dark middle of nowhere to the extent that he doubted if she was really the one who had been tormenting him. What was wrong with her? Was she in danger? Just in a split second his fears vanished and his whole body whic
Regin who was also scared just like Rafael did not say a word all along but he unexpectedly did. He spoke to Rafael and his complexion turned awful. "Why does he want me to say this." Rafael could not help but wonder but he went ahead hoping for the best. "I want to urinate." Rafael spoke to the guards who led him to this point with unease. They looked a bit baffled by his request but found a reply for him almost immediately. "Do you have any plan?": Rafael asked Regin. "No I only feel urged to do so." "Urged? When you are nothing but a speaking mind. I am now in control if the body how then are you urges to use what you don't control?" Rafael was surprised and embarrassed at the same time for following his directives "There are no restrictions once you get in." One of the guards pointed towards the strongly locked entrance of the so called infecto camp. The guards who led him there all feared that Rafael had an escape plan and refused to accede his request. The entrance was unlo
