Turning around from his table to behold Rafael who was still deep asleep on the sofa he provided for him, made him wish he could get into his dream, and pull him out of his chains.
He pulled out his phone and again busied himself by watching a video which served as a source of motivation while trying to find a solution to Rafael's problems."Yeah boy ride on you are amazing!" The video played him screaming and galloping excitedly. This was the time Rafael came to seek his guidance. He explained to him to the best of his knowledge how to gather and absorb soul energy and above his expectations he easily gathered more than he had ever seen anyone gather.As shown by his phone, instead of a light whispering sound a rumbling sound similar to that of a thunder but much more prolonged and quiet sounds was heard. This made him scream ecstatically.Now open your pores and choke your soul with it."Rafael closed his eyes and tried to direct the energy towards his chest but instead of experiencing a warm and soothing feeling he began to feel a sharp pain in his chest."Continue feeding it!" Gregor motivated when he noticed that his rate of absorption reduced as he still had high hopes for him. "If he can absorb this he would be definitely much more stronger at the end he might even successfully pull down the number one student."I can't." Rafael cried in pains"Do your best!" He motivated again but Rafael replied same before he collapsed completely onto the floor which he sat on then the soul energy all dissipated. This ended the video.If he could do this who knows what beast he would become when he finds a way to absorb the energy successfully.When he turned back to look at Rafael his zeal to connect with his dream increased. Making him brainstorm on ways he could achieve this successfully. Suddenly he got an idea; since the telepathic ability formed a sort of mind link he could try to reach Rafael through it. This he thought and began to frantically make attempts to connect to the sleepy head. However all his attempts was unsuccessful infact he ended up with a throbbing headache which lasted for several seconds.After trying unsuccessfully to see if his telepathic ability could help him in any form achieve this aim of his he gave up this idea then began to think of ways to improve himself and every students who cared to improve and after several moments of thought he decided to host a lesson open to all students.He formed his lesson objectives and fantasized on impacting it then based on his daily routine he began to absorb soul energy and strengthen his soul to enhance his overall performance.When he felt satisfied with his soul nourishment he checked the time and realized that based on the strength of the drugs he should be up in three hours time. This he considered to be too long as he was already feeling sleepy.He thought of a way to keep himself busy till he Rafael wakes up and he decided to check if he would notice how his dream went using a brain monitoring system invented by Billy a colleague of his who is skilled in invention of technological devices.Beating his expectations, immediately he attached the device to Rafael it began to show a deep red colour proving that his body released a good amount of endorphins which is secreted to relieve one of pain. This startled him. If one were really in a dream, he could feel fear but was hardly capable of feeling pain nevertheless, this made him feel satisfied as he was assured that Rafael was on the right track.His eye caught a sheet of paper by his side and picked it up to read it."Please do not use the brain monitor on me." It read."I'm sorry I already have done this however I will plug it out before you wake up." He replied to his short letter and kept it back.He sat down to busy himself with other things but after few seconds a deep beep by the brain monitoring system sounded jerking him back into reality.It now showed a green light indicating the secretion of dopamine and serotonin the one that proved that one was happy."Does this mean he has succeeded?" He thought excitedlyNot wanting to waste any time, immediately Rafael's consciousness awoke in his chained body, he began to pull himself with all his might off from the wall. At first he thought it was fun as he enjoyed how his muscles bulged to the pressure but as time began to pass he began to feel pains on his wrist making him to focus more on pulling himself off than the admiration of himself."What will you do if you successfully get out?" He clearly heard a chilled voice ask him as though the one who spoke it was soliloquizing in his sleep.After scanning through the room without spotting the one who spoke he assumed he was hearing what really did not exist but it made him hesitate a bit.Since he now understood that there was a world beyond the dungeon this question made him stop for a while and think. He knew Gregor thought that on freeing himself from the chain, he would begin to feel a soul but he now had reasons which made him believe that there was more to it than just freeing himself. He th
His heart skipped a beat when he raised his pained face and saw a pair of eyes staring pitifully at him.It was the first person who had ever visited him, the beauty who he did not remember to ask of her name. In her robe she looked no less than a princess, because of this Rafael was tempted to ask if she was one of his sisters He tried his best to speak but instead of an explanation or question, he ejected several incoherent words."Did father come here to announce your execution to you?" She queried.To this question, he couldn't still bring an answer. This time he was puzzled. "Do you mean that scary looking man is your father?" He thought with mixed feelings he was happy that she was not his sister and uncertain what her next set of words would be "Your mother must be an angel." He thought"Since he has broken his own part of keeping his mouth shut on the issue I will not regret doing what my heart longs for." She said to her self."Don't punish yourself so much I will break you
Rafael gasped for air in shock immediately he awoke on opening his eyes he thought he was wrapped up by snakes but in realization his heart beat began to drop back to normal. Looking around made him understand that the snakes were wires if the brain monitor and also explained to him why he felt as though he were monitored.On his desk the tired Gregor was fast asleep and unaware that he had woken up. He disconnected the system from his body and sat up on relief. "You did it, right." A sleepy voice inquired."Nope." Was Rafael's simple reply. This made the sleepy Gregor to wake up at once."Then what made you so happy all of a sudden?" He asked with a voice which showed both elation and surprise."Why did you monitor me?" He inquired with a slightly embarrassed face and trying to show displeasure."I am sorry now tell me what happened." He asked trying to fill up his curious heart."Someone has agreed to help me." He replied."Who,why do you trust this person?" "Because it seems like
While few students paid attention in what they were being taught by their homeroom teacher, others spent their time chatting with their seat mates and friends but this neither bothered the teacher nor the interested students.Among the students who seemed to be interested in the teacher's seemingly unending lectures sat Rafael but in truth, his gaze was what was on the teacher; his mind was occupied by something else. He was only jerked back to reality when he noticed that the teacher was speaking directly to him."Um?" He asked with a widened eyes."What do you think is the reason why you can't gather soul energy for someone else."Because you gathered it I guess." Raf replied without giving the question any thought. The thoughtless answer from him got his teacher dumbfounded for a while."Did his reply make sense even to him? I never knew him as someone so dull if this is how he has become then I think he is now a total jerk.""How can you make such a rude comment about him? I still
Though Rafael was regarded amongst the few serious students, he had another reason for wanting to research on the topic asides the fact that it was an assignment by their homeroom teacher. At least for that moment, he knew that nourishing his soul was impossible but it was possible to help his buddies grow and then grow by their influence.Even though his food and other benefits might remain the same, no one would object if they decide to take him out of his ugly room with leaking roofs or even give him a portion of their meal in appreciation. The thought of this almost made him drool over the little but well decorated book before him. Many books in the library were written by the celestials and their direct students even before the invasion and their scope circled around soul nourishment as a weapon for self improvement and human freedom. Looking around the library and noting the countless books authored by celestials and their direct students one would think that they were countle
"So will you pay up now?" Bonny's assistant questioned him again.I-I h-have nothing on me now asides my daily allowance." Rafael stammered cowardly."Then I will take it from your bones." He threatened walking closer to him steadily."P-Please I beg of you." Rafael said panting in fear and walking back altogether but his pleas fell on the bully's deaf ears as he was already set to devour the boy who could no longer inch backwards as his back was already placed against the wall.With one hand he raised him off the ground and another he got ready to administer punches but before his moving hand could connect to the former's fearful, face it was stopped by an intruder.He left the lifted mass and it dropped to the floor and continued sobbing then he turned to know who had stopped. On turning around his gaze met that of an innocent looking young lady."Why did you stop my fun?" He queried."Because you lack a good memory she retorted boldly. He racked his head trying to figure out the
"I'm off." Jerry anounced and stood up.""Where are you going to?" Levi inquire half heartedly as he was busy with his laptop and other self invented tools. "To pay Rafael's dues at Team Fifty's Tent." He replied.Team fifty's tent was the name Bonny have to his room as it was the meeting place for his gang whose members ranked from forty-seven to fifty-one. "I don't think there's need for that anymore." Rafael informed him."Why?" he inquired."It's best if we leave the details out for now I can always tell you later but now we have to discuss." Rafael explained and turned to look as Levi."Levi." Rafael yelled out loud in order to draw his attention the issue."You can speak while my ears listen." He said still not paying attention to the issue."That won't work." Rafael informed him as he got up and walked towards him. "Spare us some of your time tonight. He told him and closed his laptop."Okay." Replied Levi while biting his lips in frustration. "But you must be brief and not
"Who is there?" The principal asked without moving his gaze away from what he was doing."It is Gregor Stiff." Replied a slender girl who was at a corner of the room viewing the whole building as recorded by the surveillance cameras around the premises. Immediately the principal herd his name, his nonchalant fascial expression faded away and was immediately replaced by a more welcoming face. "Hello Gregor." He greeted."Hi Luke." He replied casually. The principal was clearly older than he was and ranked higher than him but to him, he showed a high level of regard."It's been a while since you came into this humble abode of mine, I hope your being here spells out no trouble for anyone." The principal inquired."I came to obtain your permission to host free lectures open to every student before the field expedition commences." Gregor went straight to the point."Though your lectures are formidable you chose to stay in a place where all students can reach you without selecting and groom
