Before I was worried about what Rose and I discovered. But now I was trying to understand something about what Dante just said… I'm pretty sure there are even little tears in his eyes, so whatever happened to him must have been pretty scary.
"Come here." He let me take him, and I pet him for a while, for him to calm down.
'Now tell me what happened and this time to jump to the end.'
'Dana told her classmates about me~, but they didn't believe her, so I had to go there, or they would make fun of her~. When I arrived at the school, I found that they had to wait for another teacher to arrive because the normal one didn't feel well~, since they had math classes I thought about teaching them math by myself in the meantime~, it was something that I did already with Dana so I thought how difficult could it be~?'
I unconsciously smiled when I heard him, teaching is a difficult job, especially when you have to teach children that just want to play and lose focus quickly.
'I know that now~!! Those kids are demons~!! I swear.'
"Is that your cat?"
I forgot that I was with them, so I introduce him.
"Yes, he is Dante."
"I have never seen a cat so docile…"
Leon commented.
"He just had a scary experience so came to me when he felt I was near."
I pet his head, and he purred in my arms. Leon and Zak bid farewell after commenting about how incredible animal's instincts were and continued to the school.
Dante noticed that I was on my way to school and looked back at me.
'You have to finish the story. what happened later?'
I moved forward again with him on my arms.
'I tried to teach them, but as they were too many compared to when I do it while playing with Dana~, I had to use another way and started to explain things first~, I asked Dana to help me by drawing some things on the board~… but she got bored halfway through and made a comics of our classes~… at the end of it the kids were all focused on the comic, and she included the rewards at the end~.'
'Touching your paws?'
'YES~!!! They wanted to touch my paws before even learning anything~! If it wasn't because the teacher came in at that moment, I would have my paws tainted~!'
'Well everything is good now, the teacher prevented anything to happened.'
'I haven't finished!! The teacher saw Dana's comic and after he discovered that I was her teacher is thinking about making me teach there~!! I tried to block it but, the idea is still in there, and I can't erase it I don't know what got into him!'
'Don't worry they can't force you to teach there if you don't want to.'
'Really!?!' He seemed happy to hear that and purred happily when he heard about it.
'Remember you are in my group they can't force any job in us, and you and Dana are out of the question to do anything.'
He was so focused on the story and my petting that he hadn't noticed that we arrived at school.
'Why are we here~?'
'I have to talk with Dr. Harting.'
'But what if they catch me and force me to teach a bunch of cat bullies~!'
'They will not.'
He didn't seem convinced but stayed on my arms anyway. I went to Dr. Harting office and knocked.
For some reason Dante was nervous. I was about to ask him why but I could listen to a loud voice coming from inside.
"I'm telling you we need that cat!! It's a genius!"
"I'm not going to keep talking about it, I already said no."
I could hear footsteps nearing the door, and Dr. Harting opened the door.
"That's the cat!!"
"Excuse me, Dr. Harting, I have something important to talk about."
I ignored the bald, middle-aged man that was shaking a little as if he had drunk too much coffee.
"Sorry Arthur, the answer is no, I need to talk to Spencer."
"Is this more important than the kids future?!?"
Before Dr. Harting could answer.
"Dante is not teaching. He is a cat and doesn't have enough authority to control children, he already told me about what happened today, and if you didn't arrive at that moment, he would have been swarmed by the kids. It true that he taught Dana before we arrive here. But you know better than anyone that teaching one person is different to teach a dozen… Oh! And about if this conversation is more important than the kids future… they have to get there first so I would say that this is related to them having a future."
Arthur looked at me and turned red, I noticed that he didn't like the way I said that, but he also knew that I was right, so didn't said anything and left.
'He still wants me to teach~…'
'Don't worry everything is going to be ok.'
Dr. Harting pointed a chair for me and sat on his desk in front of me.
"I thought that you would be hunting today, did something happen?"
"More or less, together with Zak's team, we went to take care of the ambush to prevent other people from getting attacked there."
"Is everyone ok?"
"Zak had a lot of minor wounds, the guys we fought weren't that good but one had an earth control ability and the other could regenerate or a heal type ability, so they were difficult to kill."
"I don't think that you came just to inform about that right?"
"Yes, actually is something that I discovered two days ago when we were attacked, and I confirmed it today."
I took a deep breath before starting to explain.
"In my enhanced senses, a supernatural sense is included, I have psychometry, and I'm capable of seeing the past to a certain extent when I touch an object or someone."
He opened his eyes for the unexpected revelation.
"Two days ago, I saw the past of the guy that blinked into us, and today I saw both guy's past too."
After telling him that I describe the blood pool, and how the groups seemed to be made. I tried to describe all the people I saw. In the end, I told him that that Rose recognized one of the guys giving orders as a member of the city council."
He seemed deep in thought, so I had to add the other piece of information I had.
"There is one more thing… when I met Dana, her mother Isabella was kidnaped, and I went to help her. There one of the guys that I killed said something before he died… he gave me a warning about John Hamilton."
He looked at me, and the said.
"I haven't seen anyone from the city hall since this started. I heard that a couple appeared the first days but most of the left before a week has passed. Do you think that they are the ones behind the third party?"
"I don't think that all of them are, it's possible that they are all on this together, but it's also possible that they are from the same party and took care of the ones in the other party to be sure that no one gets on their way. It's difficult to know with the information we have."
He nodded and got up.
"I don't much about the local politics, but I know someone that might know about it."
"Is trustworthy?"
"I trust her, but if I'm not wrong, your cat can help with that if you want to be sure."
Dante was on the floor licking himself while listening to us. It was amusing to see him stop suddenly sat in a more dignified way after licking himself to give a better impression.
"When can we talk with her?"
"I will leave her a message, she is in a hunting team too, so it's difficult to be sure when she will be back, I tell her to come tomorrow morning before you leave."
"Ok, I'll go see how Zak is doing. See you tomorrow."
Dr. Harting left together with me probably to go send the message to his friend. I went to the infirmary, Isabella wasn't there, so she went back home already.
Zak was alright, they just applied more ointments, but he didn't even need stitches. Even if his ability is strength and not resistance, his muscles were stronger than the average so he said that he can heal faster than usual.
I explained to him that I already told that we killed the guys to Dr. Harting, he said that he had to inform to the hunting unit about it too.
We bid farewells and split in different ways.
