"You can convince others through your illogical story but not me," Irene said.
"What do you mean," asked Aurel.
"You know what I mean, don't act so innocent."
"I don't know what you are talking about but I think you should stop.
I'm already late and my fingers are giving me so much pain."
"I have my eyes on you, so don't you,...….
Aurel moved towards her and pinned her against the wall so quickly that she was petrified which made her heart go thumping harder.
She tried to break free from his hands but was unable to move an inch.
He came closer and whispered in her ears, "Don't fantasize...….. too much over me, else I'll make you regret it."
"Let go, you bloody pervert," Irene said while trying to break free.
"Pervert, hmph!! Irene, you have never really met a pervert, right.
Then, shall I become a pervert for you, who might see you with or... without clothes.
Hmmm, good idea, let's do that."
After taking a closer look from head to toe, he said,
"I must say, you're hot!!!! Just stand still.
Irene still floundered to break free while he used his newfound skill, the 'Scan.'
He wasn't satisfied with the information he got but the last one which read normal genetic mutation made him wonder.
He quickly opened his status tab, and as he expected it to be, the major difference was their mutation style,
It stated he has undergone 'point mutation level 1,' while Irene is still a normal.
With a sly grin on his face he again whispered in her ears,
"Don't wear this type of clothes, you're too hot to handle, people might get distracted."
He quickly let go of her hand and left the room.

"Hey, Aurel, let's go to the weapons room," Kris came running towards him.
Kris was panting heavily and found it difficult to say anything due to shortness of breathe.
Aurel asked him to calm down first and then tell the matter.
"No, there's no time to calm… down, Someo,….. some,..... some one died, a student."
"Someone what?" Aurel said confused, "Who was that, I mean how?"
They quickly ran off towards the weapons room. On reaching, their first sight was a crowd filled with students gossiping among themselves staring intently at something.
Kris and Aurel both hurriedly went towards the front to take a closer look at what they were staring at.
The dead body was being displayed in front of them through a holographic screen, there was blood splattered all over the scene like his internal organs had exploded.
The name of the student displayed as Terence, had suffered a very painful death. This seemed the work of a beast as no human can kill anyone with such cruelty.
His limbs were cut off irregularly from the joints while parts of his body was devoured thoroughly.
Besides the dead body, there was something which gave him goosebumps was the green liquid which he had seen two times before when he had encountered that weird squeaking creature in the academy and when he was on earth.
This was no less than a surprise for him as he strived hard to guess who might be the killer.
He looked here and there but his eyes stopped at one place. Everybody gossiped among themselves but there was one student in particular who had a calm composure and had a foxy smile on his face.
He stood calmly at the corner staring at the dead body as if he had seen this coming.
All the teachers were gathered at a place discussing something about the death while the guards covered the crime scene.
From all the gossips he had heard, the most interesting one was that he had a grudge with someone and had fights almost everyday and this is the result.
He found it absurd, "Can anyone be so heartless to kill someone so cruelly for just some childish hatred," he thought to himself.
Just then he saw the student going out of the room, without any second thought he found himself following him. That student seemed weird, he was walking calmly along the hallway as if he was taking a stroll in the park.
A notification popped up in his watch. It said that all the classes were cancelled and all the students are debarred to get out of their respective rooms, which meant that he had to stay in his room for the whole day.
After reading the message, he started to follow him once again but he had disappeared. Aurel quickly ran towards the hallway but there was no one.
"Aish, I had lost him."
The bell rang and there was a declaration that all the students are ordered to go directly to their respective classrooms. No student will be allowed to go anywhere else.
He decided to quickly go into his room as there was nothing he could do on his own.
On his way to his room he met Alex.
"Hey, aren't you worried about the death that has happened," Alex asked.
"Hmm, I'm worried," Aurel said.
"I wonder what kind of beast is roaming inside the academy," Alex said lost in his thoughts.
"Beast, what kind of beast? What are you talking about," Aurel asked confused.
"You act like you don't know anything, are you really from this world," Alex said.
"No, I really don't know, tell me about it."
"There's a rumor going around that a beast has escaped from the academy prison and is now hunting down the innocent students," Alex said.
"Academy prison, what is this thing, tell me more about it," Aurel asked curiously.
"Later, I'll tell you later, for now let's go to our rooms. I don't want to get any punishment. " Alex ran off towards his room leaving behind Aurel.
Alex stopped down the hallway and shouted, "Don't you dare to sleep with her again, I'll just break your legs if I see her with you."
Aurel sighed and shouted, "Hey, that was just a mistake."
After parting away from Alex, he made up his mind to solve the murder mystery.
