"Don't harm my students," quickly pointed the gun at me. I crossed my legs.
"I won't," I replied. He pulled the trigger.
"You're dead," and he shot at my direction.
Lunox's Point of View
I'm lost. I don't know where the hell I am! I simply followed the map of what Ma'am Lei gave me.
I knocked and opened the door of the faculty room. "Mr. Franco?" I said. "Deary, just call your teachers sir or ma'am. You're being formal. Sir Hablewitz is in a different office because he's the adviser of Black Section. It's a safety precaution for us faculty staffs and teachers," she explained.
"I'm Ma'am Lei. Here a map to guide you to the office of Sir Hablewitz." She took out a map and gave it to me. "Thank you, Ma'am Lei." I said and bowed to her. I left the faculty room.
That's what happened, but it looked like she fooled me. I forgot. Black Section is being hated and feared in the school. I knew Sir Franco and she figured out that I'm one of his students. That's why she gave me a wrong map. I dialed Selena's number.
[Lu!]
"Ah... I'm lost?"
[What?!]
"This teacher named Ma'am Lei handed me a map and it looked like I was fooled."
[Ma'am Lei? That witch! Stay there. I-I'll t-track you with my g-gps. Just... stay... right—]
The phone call was cut. What happened? I checked my phone. No signal.
I heard a loud noise, like a metal being scratched that's coming near me. I listened carefully and prepared myself. I heightened my senses, waiting for an attack. The flow of the wind changed. Whoever that person is, it's coming very near.
Stay calm, Lunox. You can do this.
"So, you're the unlucky person." She finally showed up. As I suspect,
The girl with pigtails.
"You were once a student in Black Section but you transferred to Class A. Tell me if I'm wrong." I said. Her calm face suddenly turned into an irritated one. "The first time I saw you. I already knew deep within myself; I don't like you. Out of nowhere, Ma'am Lei contacted me and she said that I have to kill you. You know what I felt? Joy. Happiness." She said. This person really hated me. And she's not normal. She's crazy.
"You're taking some medicine, aren't you? Consult a doctor." She gritted her teeth.
"Ha? Ha! I'm not crazy. Why do all of you thinks I am?!" She exclaimed. She raised the bat and hit the ground hard. The sound of the metal echoed around us. If she attacked me, she'll be at an advantage while I'm at disadvantage because I don't have any weapon.
However, I'll still win.
"Because you are. Don't waste time, pigtail girl. Kill me. That's your order by your master, right? Do it now," I said. I'm purposely provoking her. She gritted her teeth again and messed her hair. "I hate you. I hate you. Die. Die," I heard her whispered. She keeps uttering those words. She looked at me and smiled creepily as if she's being possessed.
"Die!" She shouted. She run towards me with a bat in her grip. Her attack form is messed up, even her formation. An amateur. I positioned myself like a boxer.
A little bit more, "die!" There! I bent down and punched her stomach. I swiftly went on her back and kicked the back of her knees, resulting her to kneel. She tried to struggle by hitting me with a bat but she had a difficult time because I'm at her back. I kicked the bat effortlessly. The bat fell down on the ground. I reached the bat and held it. In my other hand, I held her hair and pulled it up. "You're saying something?" Purposely mocking her.
"W-Who are you? What is this feeling..." My grip on her hair became tighter. I lowered down to level her. "It's the feeling of despair." I whisper to her ear. She started struggling to escape. Natural instinct. If a human being felt that she's in danger, she'll do anything to escape for her to survive.
"Don't worry, it's not your time of the day yet. You still have a use. Sleep tight, little one," I said. I raised my bat and aim at her head. A few seconds, she collapsed. Her blood flowed onto the ground.
"Ms. Radcliffe." It's Sir Franco. I turned to his direction and put the bat with blood across my shoulder. "Hi, sir. It's self-defense. This girl tried to attack me," I explained and pointed the girl.
He just stared at me emotionless. I don't know what's in his mind. One thing for sure, he won't report what happened and that's an okay for me. "I'll clean this up. No trace will be found. Just cover me up if something happens, Sir Franco," I carried the body. "Can I put her into your office first?" I asked. He's still not moving. I went towards him and snapped my fingers in front of his face. He came back to his senses and coughed. "Sure. This way. I have a feeling that students were fighting and my gut feeling didn't fail me. That's why you're late," explained Sir Franco.
"So, she's not pranking me. I really did go to the right place," I said. Sir Franco's forehead creased. "It's Ma'am Lei. She's the mastermind. If I'm weak, this girl whom I'm carrying will kill me and the moment you found me, I'm dead. You're now talking to a corpse."
"Tsk. She didn't learn." I heard him sigh and massaged his temple. "Being the class adviser stressed you out, huh?" "Yeah. All of you are trouble-makers. You never listened. How can I explain all of this to the director?"
"Sir! What happened today is our little secret. I'll shut my mouth and so do you. Okay?" I said and gave him my sweetest smile.
"Clean all the blood later after we talk. We're here now." He stopped and took out his keys. He entered in and I followed him. I put down the body on the corner. I looked around. His office is pretty neat and organized. Not bad.
"Sit. I'll prepare you a drink." It's wider and bigger than the faculty office. Perks of being the adviser of Black Section.
After five minutes, he came back and poured me a drink. "I prepared black tea," he said. "Thank you. I love tea's." I said. I took a sip. He sat down in front of me. I noticed he's dense. He's planning to do something. I saw a magazine. Something dangerous is underneath. I can sense it.
Good thing is I'm still holding the bat. "Your tea is delicious, sir, it's the right amount of taste. I still want to chitchat but, there's a reason why I'm here. Let's start. First of all, what is Black Section? Class A, Class B, and Class C is the only section that popped at the school website," I stated.
"Black Section is a special section for special students. Students who are rebels, delinquents, criminals..."
"Even murderers, killers. So, you're saying that, the purpose on building Black Section is to straighten this students and become a good citizen of the country." I continued. "No," I raised an eyebrow. "Not to teach them a lesson. But for them to have a place to call a home."
A home...
"I'm still correct to the part that my classmates are not ordinary ones, but what's with their attitude to me?"
"It's because other teachers and students wants to destroy and eliminate Black Section. The students of Black Section may be dangerous but they're still students, teenagers. We may have a bad reputation but we're keeping the peace of the school, not only within the school range but also outside." So, there's instances occurring outside the school premises too. Interesting.
"One time, we've experienced the same case as you're in right now, a student transferred to our section. At first, she doesn't look suspicious. She's very friendly and cheerful but, one day, she killed one of my students..." He clenched his fists. "She explained it was an order from one of the teachers. She also said that she hated Black Section. She doesn't have freedom. She blamed everything on my students, my section. As an adviser, the only adult who can understand them. It hurts me... They may be dangerous, wild but they're still human, they're still young. The one they've experienced destroyed them but deep inside they're sweet and kind." My deduction was right all along, and I'm surprised Pedelton High School hid the existence of the section that until now, it isn't being discovered.
"Now, I understand..." I said.
"Now that you understand. Now that you knew." His aura is changing. I ready myself. I saw at my peripheral view that he's getting what's underneath the magazine.
"Don't harm my students," quickly pointed a gun at me. I crossed my legs.
"I won't," I replied. He pulled the trigger.
"You're dead," and he shot at my direction.
"You missed." I said. I heard someone behind me fell down. I looked at my back and saw the girl, dead, shot straight in her forehead.
"I don't believe that they're still trying to harm my students after what happened." All along he knew this will happen? This man in front of me. He's no ordinary man.
Franco Hablewitz, you're on my watch list.
