Shot of Silence Chapter 32: Abrupt Visits
"I’m done for, aren’t I?" he muttered, dazed and barely able to form words in his buzzed mind. Heath wiped the blood coming out from his nose, uncaring that his hand was also bloodied, though it wasn't his own. He couldn’t finish them off; he was out of battery to do that, and his hits were not strong enough to be lethal. However, the twin assassins were unconscious now, thankfully, since he was not in any better condition. He couldn’t even tie them up or something, you know, as a precaution for when they woke up seeking vengeance. Heath could barely feel parts of his body; every inch of him was buzzing as if it were made of ants instead of muscles, bones, and organs. ‘Well, at least it’s not sharp pain, aha ha ha,’ he thought, though he was glad that was the case. Anyhow, "Man, I really need more exercise," he chuckled breathlessly, though what he noticed firsthand was how peaceful his head was compared to earlier. 'Wait. Is this why Master always kicks me around and drags me to
Shot of Silence Chapter 33: Feverish Chat
In the end, the excuse Heath came up with was, "Prank gone wrong, one could say," as he puffed out a hot breath and shrugged. But really, who could blame him? His head felt like it was about to explode. Each pulse of pain was like a sledgehammer against his skull. It was enough to make him question if he was even still in the same reality. God, wouldn’t the universe give him a break? Yet his plea went unheard, as his dumb reasoning only raised even more questions than it was worth. "So bad that you got this injured?" He heard someone asked. "Yes? Or perhaps they are robbers? They don't really dress like it though?" he shrugged, continuously making an excuse as he feigned innocence. "Really, sensei?" Kai definitely didn’t buy that excuse, but Zane, being the sweet angel that he is, tapped her shoulder, stopping her right there. "Shouldn't we be calling the cops then?" The blue-eyed boy asked worriedly. "Why are you dealing with them on your own?" Heath hummed. "You know my name,
Shot of Silence Chapter 34: A Reason To Stay
The brunet blinked in surprise, genuinely caught off guard by the turn of events. After enduring mistreatment from the majority of individuals in this world, save for a scant few exceptions, he hadn't anticipated such a positive outcome. Upon that question, Zane asked back, “I mean, why would we be disappointed…?” Truthfully, he doesn’t feel good asking that question; he just has a bad feeling that whatever he’s about to hear next would be heartbreaking just from the way their teacher genuinely questioned their motive before. Oh, how he hated to be right. Heath's head throbbed with the effort of holding himself upright, his weakened body protesting every movement. Yet, his determination to maintain a stable facade in front of his guests remained steadfast as he opened his mouth to answer, "Because you guys ended up walking all the way here instead of studying in our usual classroom?" Heath said, as if stating the obvious. "I mean, isn’t that extra hassle? How come none of you p
Shot of Silence Chapter 35: Taking The Trash Out
"Speaking of, what time will your housemate be back?" Kian asked after they finished cleaning up the utensils they used and tossed the trash away. "Well, he said that he needs to prepare for the school assembly as well. So perhaps later in the evening?" Heath replied easily. "Should we stay until then? It shouldn't be that long, right?" Kai asked the others, especially their homeroom teacher. Unable to see the clock clearly with his blurry sight, the brunet shrugged instead. "Nah. I really think you should go home." "What? Are you kicking us out now?" "Despite his wordings, for once I agree with Kobayashi-kun's disagreement, sensei," Zane frowned. "What if something else happens? You can barely stand up now," all the while the delinquent clicked his tongue since the pipsqueak he used to bully basically put words into his mouth. The brunet snickered, "Aww~ So you do care, Kianichy!" His eyes genuinely lit up. "Shut up!" A small tint of blush was caught by the keen eyes. "Yeah ye
Shot of Silence Chapter 36: Main Building
To prevent its underachievers from negatively impacting the rest of the student body, Class I-9 was relocated away from the main building. It had become a tradition for 'the worst of the worst' to utilize the old building instead of integrating into Aetheridge Academy's main campus. This segregation practice had been ongoing for years prior to the government's secret deal with the chairman. Normally, neither the students nor the teachers of this class were allowed to set foot on the main campus. The only exception was during the school assemblies held every semester, of which, of course, Class I-9 members were not informed beforehand."I swear, this is some sort of torture," Jitsuo exhaled heavily, while Jiro huffed while wiping the dust and mud from his glasses, "It is. Knowing them, it was meant to be a form of torture," he said in agreement.Not only did the assembly occur in the middle of a hot day, but the students also had to trek all the way from their secluded class location,
Shot of Silence Chapter 37: Psychological Warfare
In the end, after taking a short break of 1 minute, they continued their journey as Lillian led them. By now, there were only 3 minutes left, definitely not enough time to clean up their uniforms, so they were like, "Forget it."And so here they stood, about to enter the gymnasium in a line. Their class would be the shortest line compared to other classes, which easily doubled or even tripled their numbers, and the messiest in appearance. It was honestly easier to gawk at them than to pretend that these ‘clowns of the academy’ didn’t exist."This sucks, why are we even here, again?" Nia mumbled in complaint once they arrived at where they were supposed to wait. Unsurprisingly, they’d be entering from the backdoor, unlike other classes.Just like their classroom, their place was also prepared in seclusion.Trying to be the positive voice of the group, Jitsuo smiled a little, "at least we made it on time?""Somehow or another," Zane sweatdropped.Everyone there knew what would happen to
Shot of Silence Chapter 38: Unknown Favors
In the meantime, the dean, Nezu, is still yapping about the school achievements which somehow, to him, equals to his achievements. There is barely any important information in his speech; most of it is empty bragging, and the only thing that would perk up the students’ ears are sprinkles of mockery aimed at their black sheep. Who else but Class I-9?"Indeed, if you're not studying hard, you won’t be a successful part of society.”There’s a pause as the dean openly smirks, “Yes, that is true. If you’re not careful," the dean said, eyeing that certain group who’s different than the others, "—You could end up like certain other good-for-nothings!"“Pffft…!”“Keke…!”Stifled laughter is shared. It is the only time they’re actually allowed to be ‘accidentally’ loud.Sadly, that kind of abuse is normalized around there."Now now, we mustn't laugh at their expense," the mutt says as if he didn't snicker by the podium.Only now Heath realizes why exactly Kai decided to ditch, 'Yeah, it wouldn
Shot of Silence Chapter 39: Afterschool
At last, the assembly is over. To summarize the important information from that lengthy session, the midterm week is approaching. And honestly, Perry-sensei is even more hyped up about it than the students themselves. He is especially giddy since the Chairman’s decision to appear in the assembly will definitely play a part in the level of difficulty of tests. After all, surely after the disorderly events that happened today, the teachers would do everything in their power to please the big man. Excited as they are, Lillian asked Heath to actually go home for the day instead of joining them for a mini meeting about the exams. The agent left no room for him to argue since she half-threatened the brunet with calling his cousin to pick him up if he continued to be stubborn. Orion teased him about it, but if he’s being frank, Heath never meant to stay anyway. He has a plan for the day, and it seems like his nosebleed has created an opportunity for him to slip away more naturally than if h
