The Midnight Heir SCREAMING AGE
Officer Victor brought Anthony and Gamboli to a white room that had a lot of gadgets stationed in it and right in the center of it all was Warden Maxwell Faller.“I’ve brought them like you wanted Warden—“ Officer Victor said but Anthony cut him off.“What are these?” Anthony asked, looking at his intriguing environment. Warden Faller looked at what was being referred to and he answered “Oh, these. Well, these are called Nanite bombardment chambers”“Nanite bombardment chambers? What’s that supposed to be? More importantly, what are they used for and why are they here of all places?” Anthony asked and the good Warden smiled. He answered "One question at a time Mr. Anthony. First of all, these are experimental devices sent in by our sponsors for testing and what they are used for, which is your second and to an extension your third question, is providing a means of healing the participants of The Scrimmage of any surface injury sustained during an event. If you’re wondering why such
The Midnight Heir REFEREE
Everyone in the room whose door had just been opened turned to look at the four of them, especially at Anthony whose hair was very good at drawing unwanted attention.In response, Anthony looked at everyone present there too. He was very hard to intimidate or made to feel uncomfortable."What is this place?" Anthony asked, already having an idea of what it could be as it had all the looks and feel of a waiting area which is a place where fighters could observe a match while also waiting to be called out or had already been called out and had returned just to get some rest. In the middle of the room was an individual who was dressed in complete white attire.His shoulders were stiff with anxiety before Anthony, Gamboli, Officer Victor, and the Warden’s arrival. However, when he turned to look at them, the tension in his demeanor vanished completely."The Warden and that must be— please tell me that that's him right next to..." said the man in white as he walked over to Warden Faller a
The Midnight Heir TIME FOR DEBUT
"Warden Faller, I know this is your place and you call most of— if not all the shots that happen around here. I also know that can most definitely knock me out with a single wave of your huge hands if I try and challenge you, but I have to say... What the hell is going on here?" asked the man in white who was standing beside the warden as he snuck side glances at Gamboli "A wave of my hand? Don't be ridiculous, Showman. My days of getting physical with others have gone behind me since I took charge of this place. Now, if I wanted, I can just send someone else to handle you for me but jokes aside, what do you mean?" Warden Faller asked the white-dressed showman.Both stared at each other for a little while before the showman finally spoke.“Looks like I have to explain the obvious. I'm talking about the… umm, gentlemen over here who surprisingly don’t know who I am. I wanted to ask why the hell doesn’t he know that I’m the Showman and also what else doesn’t he know. Does he even know
The Midnight Heir COMMENCE THE SCRIMMAGE
Meanwhile, in the middle of the SCRIMMAGE Arena, the Showman was busy with the hyped-up audience— both live and online and doing his best to get them more hyped for the event that was about to take place.“Are you ready?!” The showman spoke into his microphone and everyone went ballistic, chanting their usual two-word phrase.The energy from the crowd put a smirk on the showman’s face and he said “Looks like you all are. Well, without any further delays, it is time and you all know what I mean when I say that it is time, don’t you?!"In the chat section of the SCRIMMAGE’s dark web page, the online audience was going crazy with anticipation. They were displaying their excitement for all to see through their selections of emojis while also messaging [SCREAMING AGE] everywhere.As for Anthony, Gamboli, Warden Faller, and Officer Victor, they walked down the steps leading to the arena while listening to the showman continue to speak to the crowd. “So, since you both understand the basics
The Midnight Heir A BATTLE OF ATTRITION
“Alright, Mr. Anthony. This is where your battle as a benefactor will be taking place” Officer Victor said to Anthony after taking him to the area where the benefactors of the event were stationed.Anthony did a little look around his station then looked at the distance, seeing other stations similar to his.“Lemme guess, in one of those stations, is the benefactor of Gamboli’s opponent,” Anthony said and Officer Victor nodded with a smirk. “Just like with yours, the stations are closed to conceal the identities of our special guests. You can watch the match and your fighter from the screen within your station. If there’s any questions you have just let me know” Officer Victor said. Anthony shook his head with a confident smirk. “Alright then, Mr. Anthony. I’ll be returning to Warden Faller now. See you after the match is over” Officer Victor said then bowed his head in respect of Anthony.Anthony did the same then the officer left Anthony to go into his station and close the door
The Midnight Heir FIGHTING STANCE
*Tsk* *Sigh*Selverin took his fingers and touched the open wound he had on his cheek and forehead which stung him before sighing to the realization that he had to fight once more and any minute from now He turned to look at the opponent he had to fight which was Gamboli while Gamboli looked at him with wondering eyes, thinking if he could put down his opponent as fast as possible. Something that went against his true intention because in actuality he wanted to test himself and his skills after having not fought for a very long time now.He wanted to know if he still had it, his fighting knowledge and talents, or if had he gotten rusty from being out of the action for as long as he had."This is really intense and I kind of like it?" Gamboli mumbled to myself then looked at the Showman and the audience "How can there be so many people and at the same time not so many people all at once"*CLEARS THROAT*"This must be my nerves talking telling me that I'm too anxious— no, that’s not th
The Midnight Heir NEUTRAL STANCE
After walking off the ring, the Showman remained at a spot close enough to spectate but not disturb anyone during the fight. After all, he wasn’t a referee which surprisingly is a position that the Scrimmage lacked."Hey, the fight has started but why aren't you doing anything except standing there? Or, is it that you are waiting on me to attack first?” Gamboli said then chuckled “I know I'm new to this but don’t think that your experience here puts you at an advantage but anyway, we’ll see"Gamboli who had gotten even more excited for the brawl he was to have smirked then looked over his shoulder. He was looking for Anthony but had no idea where the silver-haired man had gone.After a quick and unsuccessful search, Gamboli gave up with a shrug then he faced Selverin and said out loud “Hey Silver, I don’t know where you are but I’m sure whatever you are you can hear me. Don’t bother with your part of this brawl. It’s no use wasting your money when this will be over very quickly” Hear
The Midnight Heir BENEFACTOR
"I have to get on top of this" The Showman mumbled after gesturing to the other organizers and technical division members who had a clearer picture as to what was happening in the comments section of the Dark Web Server's SCRIMMAGE Arena page than he or anyone else did.Only a few select comments made it to the display behind the ring which were the less negative ones while the really negative and mean ones, when compared, were left for the eyes of the technical division and those watching onlineThe Information came through the earpiece of the Showman telling him what to do which was to fix the situation as soon as possible any way he saw fit. After all, that is what he gets payment for but the one thing they asked above all is for him to do it in a way where the audience wouldn't get too angry about it"Alright, this is going to be tricky but what the heck. I'm not too sure that this is going to work but here we go anyway" He mumbled to himself once more then positioned himself in a

ADOPTIVE SON ARC FINALE
Abraham rose from his chair and looked at Johnathan with shock."Master Johnathan, what do you mean by that?! Are you seriously giving up on all of this and want to return home?!" Abraham asked enthusiastically.Johnathan was left speechless as he looked at Abraham and was grimacing in confusion.He never knew Abraham would react this way to what he said and it was like he was happy to hear him give up on the mission.Abraham grinned "Even though we've already done this much, it's not too late to stop all of this and return home Master Johnathan," he said then dropped on his chair.He immediately opened his desk drawer and searched for some documents which he started arranging, hoping to start packing what they needed so that they could leave this place first thing in the morning.Johnathan cleared his throat when he had seen enough."What is it, Master Johnathan? Do you have a cough? Sore throat maybe? Don't worry, I'll be right there to check what's wrong but first lemme put these d

Johnathan looked at George and then at Abraham when he got close and he realized that he had forgotten a piece of vital information."Master Jo—" Abraham said but Johnathan quickly interrupted him."Not exactly. I forgot to tell you but this is Abraham, the person I called on the phone back at the bowling rink and he's the one sponsoring me so that I can attend Wellstone. I also call him my guardian like I told you" George looked at Johnathan skeptically then he looked at the luxurious apartment."So you're saying that none of this belongs to you but him?" George asked."Yes"George nodded his head and then started smiling."I thought so. No way a cool and nice guy like you comes from wealth. You almost gave me a heart attack there, not cool" George said.Abraham and the maids looked at George and they were all frowning that he could be talking to their master like this. He should show some respect.Seeing that they were going to lash out at George, Johnathan gave them a signal while

Johnathan stared at this student, wondering if he wanted to get involved with him or not. He's already helped him wake up so should he involve himself beyond this point?In the end, he came up with his answer."I'm nobody," Johnathan said then stood up and stuffed his hands into his hoodie pocket."As you can see the party is over so you should start going him. That's why I'm doing" Johnathan said.The student looked around and he was disappointed that he missed the party. A reaction that Johnathan found strange because he was more concerned about that than the fact Bradly had knocked him unconscious."Whoever you are, thanks for waking me up. I should also start heading—" The student said as he was standing up but then his stomach started hurting and he crashed back down.The student grabbed his stomach and started wincing from the pain."What's wrong?" Johnathan asked him, worried that something else might be wrong."I don't know, my stomach just hurts like hell. Was it something I d

"Hey Bradly, how come it seems like you know the Welfie on a personal level when none of us have ever seen him before?" One of the two students who came with Bradly asked.Immediately, a grin popped up on Bradly's face."What do you think worm, should I tell them?" Bradly whispered in Johnathan's ear and Johnathan jolted.Johnathan knew instantly what Bradly's plan was and what he was going to say to everyone and his heart started pounding fast."Listen, Bradly, don't say anything. Even though it was fake, we were still friends for—" Johnathan said but Bradly cut him off."Oh, you thought I was asking? For reminding me how I had to listen to your stupid complaints which made my brain melt all those time, watch this" Bradly said then stepped away from Johnathan and in the process, he brought out his phone and raised it in front of everyone.Bradly quickly went to the Bubble Tv platform, found a certain video, copied the link, and then sent it as a comment underneath the post on the scho

Back at the apartment, Abraham was seated in his office chair and was going through some documents when his phone on the desk suddenly started ringing.Seeing who the caller was, Abraham hurriedly answered the call.“Master Zebadiah, good evening or should I say good afternoon in your case,” Abraham said.[“Thank you Abraham and greetings to you too. I was just calling to ask how are you and Johnathan settling into the apartment? Hope everything is to his liking”] Zebadiah said.“Yes master, Master Johnathan gave his approval of the place a while ago. He told me that he’s happy to have somewhere like this close to his school to hang out during days he wants to get away from school stress”[“That’s good to hear. And Johnathan, where is he right now?”]“Well, master Johnathan told me that his level-mates were organizing a get-together somewhere close by so he went to go check it out. He wants to make as many acquaintances as possible before he starts school officially”Zebadiah grunted.

Johnathan was almost a whole foot taller than Zack was and because he wasn’t sitting and hunching anymore, his hoodie didn’t seem as big as it used to.Zack and his friends were starting to see that not only was Johnathan tall but he was also muscular and all three of him were speechless.“Hey Zack, don’t just stand there, teach that Welfie a lesson not to mess with people like us,” Someone from the crowd said.Even though he didn’t want to, Zack just had to show himself and there was only one way he could try to conquer Johnathan since he couldn’t attack him physically.“Listen here Welfie, as I said before, I’m Zack Griffin from the Griffin family and I’m sure you’ve heard of me. If you know what’s good for you, better let go of my hand right now or else you’ll receive a message from the school first thing tomorrow morning about your expulsion. Trust me, I can make that happen” Zack threatened then smirked.Johnathan shrugged “You can try but you’ll be surprised by the outcome,” he

The reason they were treating Johnathan this way was because they hadn't seen him anywhere around the school before and that only meant one thing.In Wellstone, the kids from the richest family are given their admission first and they are also given top priority in everything else so they are the first to start the academic session.The school would never admit that this preferential treatment exists but it does nonetheless and it is usually the students who enforce it with their actions.The later your resumption shows your level of importance in the school and with that mindset, even though the school is massive with thousands of students, everyone knows who the important people to look up to and respect are.For them not to know Johnathan only means that he either is just starting his academic session now or isn't that important for any of them to know. This makes him someone under scholarship or someone who's barely able to attend Wellstone.None of those two options are good posi

The more they walked, the closer and louder the music became and there was a door in front of them which had the bowling alley behind it.Johnathan could see colorful lights escaping from the cracks which let him know that it isn’t just bowling but there should also be a party happening in there.Whoever organized this must have paid a pretty penny to transform a regular bowling rink into a disco party but since they are students of Wellstone, the money should be considered a cheap change to them.Because of how close Johnathan was behind her, Shirley got annoyed and stopped walking."Why the hell are you following me?" She asked and Johnathan grimaced.He also stopped after hearing the ridiculousness of the accusation."Who said I'm following you?" He asked."You are so there's no use denying it," she said as a vein bulged on her forehead.Johnathan scoffed then he smacked his tongue."Listen here miss Vice President or whatever you call yourself—""It's Shirley, Shirley Price.

Johnathan grimaced as he leaned closer, getting all up in her face."Oh really? You don't know her?" He asked and she avoided eye contact."If that's true then why don't I believe you? Something tells me that you do know her and you're lying to me to protect your friend" Johnathan said and Shirley got irritated."I told you I don't know anyone like that so get the hell out of my personal space!" Shirley got aggressive and pushed him away.Because of how tall and more muscular than her Johnathan was, her shove didn't really do much but he moved back on his own accord anyway."You said this entire place was reserved for the students of Wellstone, those were your own words, and that right there was where she robbed." Johnathan pointed at where he made contact with the girl with red and black hair."What other proof do I need to show that she was a fellow student of Wellstone and as the Vice President you know or at least have an idea of who she is" Johnathan pursed his lips."I said I do
