One by one, the students of classroom B10 began to become curious over the matter, so they all congregated around the door to listen in to the conversation going on outside.
"I wonder what is going on outside," Joel commented.
A student that is the closest to the door, who heard the conversation going on outside.
He decided to speak up, though he was quite unsure of the content of what he just heard was actually correct, "I've heard Mr.Davies said something about Aaron being a murderer." What he just said certainly arouses some suspicion amongst the other students.
Another student decided to speak up in opposition, strongly defending Aaron, "That is not possible. Aaron is a nice and quiet person, he won't even hurt a fly." That student said, questioning the authenticity of the first one, and others steadily agree with him.
Another student intervenes, supporting the claims of the first one, "But I've also heard Mr.Davies calling him out for being a murderer."
People who heard it too began to speak up, "Me too.","I heard it also too." One by one, they began to back the first person's claims.
Anik who is the only one who doesn't believe it, 'That can't be possible. Aaron is not a murderer. I know him for many years. He won't hurt anyone without a proper reason.' He showcased a face full of doubt.
However, Joel didn't even find the joke to be the least bit funny. "I'm sure the others were just joking. There's no way that Aaron could be a murder. He's too soft..." Joel commented.
"I hope you're right." Anik then answered back.
Anik disobeyed the teacher's orders. 'Butstill, I need to find out the truth.' He forces his way through the crowd and made his way to the door.
"Excuse me. Pardon me. I'm coming through." He said as he opens the door.
Anik left the classroom of his own volition, disobeying the teacher's precise instructions to not leave the room.
Though the matter does not directly concern him, he still considers Aaron to be quite a close friend of his. So of course, he won't turn a blind eye if the matter is extremely important as taking another person's life.
The corridors were only just a couple of feet wide, just enough to fit two to three people walking side by side, next to each other.
Anik immediately saw the figure of the injured Aaron crouching down on the floor, next to the corpse of the dead goblin, whilst fresh blood slowly seeping out from his opened wound.
Anik cried out, visibly shaken, "Aaron, are you okay? You are bleeding." He couldn't believe what he saw. There right before his very eyes was a dead (child's) body.
He then hurriedly runs over towards Aaron's side, to check out how serious the wound is.
Aaron nonchalantly waves his arm off, whilst saying, "I'm fine," as he grimaced in pain because of the injuries in his left arm.
Aaron's expression visibly darkens, as he thought to himself, 'Thank god, it was only my left arm that got hurt. If it was my right, then I will be completely powerless to fight back.'
Like the vast majority of the people within the world, Aaron is right-handed. If he were to suddenly lose the functions of his right hand, then he won't be able to write or draw, performing tasks at the utmost capability.
Whilst, running Anik accidentally steps on the corpse of the dead goblin.
Mr.Davies was on edge, as Aaron was one of his students. So he must somewhat hold accountability and responsibility of the (child/goblin's) death.
Mr.Davies is an adult and Aaron is still a 16 years old child, though Mr.Davies won't be directly held accountable for the (child/goblin's) death. The murder is on Aaron Lee's hand.
Mr.Davies suddenly raised his voice, he is quite unsure of what to do on the situation at hand. "Stand back, and do not touch the corpse. It may possibly impede the police's investigation."
Aaron just in smiles, he thought to himself,'There will be no police investigation. He does not even know that 'that thing' is not even human... it's a goblin.'
'Judging by how serious Sameer's intake on the matter over the phone. I'm assuming that this is not an isolated case, but rather it's happening on a much larger scale. Possibly around the world.' Aaron made a simple deduction base on his sense of reasoning.
Mr.Davies shouted, "Do you think this is a laughing matter, Aaron Lee?" Mr.Davies calls out Aaron's full name, this is how serious it is. "You've literally killed someone."
One of the students that creepily peeped out from the corners of the door, he suddenly cried out, "Holy shit! Aaron really did kill someone. He is truly a murder!"
The others behind him then expresses faces of shock. "No way!" "How could that be?"
Another criticizes him, "He really is a cold-blooded murderer and to think that we all thought that he was a nice and sensible person."
Mr.Davies then instructed a student to go and find help. "Could someone go and get help? I will stay here and watch over the boy. So that he won't do anything funny or escape."
One of the students volunteers, "I'll do it, I will go and get help." The student said as he went to go get help.
Aaron's bleeding was starting to get worse, as he starts to feel a bit light-headed. 'There is no emergency first aid kit within sight. I must do something to stop the bleeding.' He thought to himself as the majority of his white shirt is covered in his own blood.
'I've got an idea.' Aaron thought to himself, as he reaches out and tugged on the blazer that is covering the dead goblin's body.
"What are you doing?" Anik asked clearly confused about what Aaron is currently doing.
It took a bit of effort to get some school blazer back, because the dead goblin was laying on top of it, acting as a heavy paperweight.
The moment that the blazer was taken off, it unveils the dead body of the green skin goblin.
Its own face was horribly disfigured from being smashed against the ground repeatedly by Aaron, as there are darkish brown handprint marks over its neck, indicating someone was clearly trying to choke it to death.
"Ummm... Mr.Davies, look!" Anik was clearly surprised as he suddenly raises his voice, which seemingly caught Mr.Davies's attention.
Mr.Davies replied with, "What?".
"Look..." Anik pointed at the green skin goblin that lay dead before them.
He checked the goblin's dead body all over and even flipped it on its front side, but there was no zipper to be found. "I'm afraid that this is not a costume, Mr.Davies." Anik commented, and then said, "Even the skin seems somewhat real, it's definitely not plastic or latex that's for sure. And there is no empty spaces in between, so it can't possibly be a suit."
"There is even warmth body heat permeating off from its dead body, indicating that the creature was still alive until not so long ago." Anik carefully exams the corpse and then gave his detailed analysis.
'There is green blood pouring out from its mouth. No mammal like creature on Earth that I know of ever has green blood running within their veins...'
'And its cause of death is likely strangulation. Its face was horribly disfigured, likely from being repeatedly smashed against a hard rock surface. There are even teeth marks and bits of chipped teeths lying around on the ground, the same place where it's face got smashed with... How brutal.' Anik made an internal monologue inside his head.
'I should think before the next time that I start pissing him off. I didn't he would be capable of this. Or otherwise, I will end up like this horribly disfigured creature.' Anik thought to himself, whilst looking in Aaron's particular direction.
Mr.Davies was clearly visibly confused, as he tries to come up with a reasonable explanation to explain the situation. "Is this a prank? Then what about the blood that is stuck onto the blade." Mr.Davies questions the two.
Mr.Davies wanted answers, so Aaron decided to answer him. "It's my blood. That thing tried to kill me. So I kill it instead... It's essentially do or die. Me or him." He said it in a cold tone, devoid of any emotion.
Aaron then grabs a hold of his school blazer and tears off a piece of fabric off from the sleeves of his school blazer to be used as a makeshift bandage.
He did this by utilizing the sharp edges of the stone dagger blade to cut the fabric into long strips, to be used as wrapping bandages.
Aaron then pulls up the left arm sleeve of his white long shirt, revealing the horrible slash wound that is inflicted onto his left arm by the dead goblin.
Mr.Davies and Anik were a bit horrified seeing the slash wound on Aaron's left arm. So does the ongoing spectators.
"Whoa!" "Check out that scar!"
Anik cried out, "Aaron, your left arm."
Aaron was not in the mood to hear their constant whining. He spoke up, "Would you quit your constant whining. Can't you see I'm in constant pain here?"
Aaron then turns towards Anik, and said, "Would you be a kind friend and help me bandage my wounds?"
"Well, sure thing," Anik responded, as he took the bandages off from Aaron's hands and start bandaging his left arm.
Whilst, Anik was busy bandaging his injured left arm. Aaron has stuff running across his mind.
The words just seemingly came into his mind spontaneously whenever he thought about video games. The character's status screen would always show up.
'Status.' He thought of the keyword inside his head.
A holographic blue screen then appears in front of him, right before his very eyes, displaying all of his stats, skills, and otherwise important info.

Aaron thought to himself, 'I've earned myself a couple extra bonus unallocated stats points for gaining an achievement and title.'
'Hmmm... For the time being, I should invest my extra stats points into agility to increase my overall speed.Who knows when I may encounter an unfavourable enemy, forcing me with no other choice but to run away.'
Aaron invested all of his remaining unallocated stats points into the agility attribute stats. His overall running speed increases slightly, but when it comes to matter of life and death.
A little boost in speed could it whether you make it out alive or not.
However, other skills must also be taken into account, and the user's life experiences in order to hopefully increase ones chance of survival.
'Wait a minute!' Aaron quickly skim through his skill list and found a strange unusual skill.
'Unceasing Pain.' He read the skill out loud inside his head, but there was no answer.
So he decided to press on the skill text box of Unceasing Pain, and new screen then immediately pops right up in front of him.
[Skill Name: {Unceasing Pain} Skill Description: The user is able to freely emit and manifest black particles from one's own body. Onced the black particles enters a target's body, it will then triggers the host target's pain receptors, thereby causing the targeted intense great pain.]
'This is literally a skill that is made to torture people. So why did I get it as a random bonus... it's not even that useful to me right now.' Aaron thought to himself, as he then breathes a sigh of relief.
'Thank god, nobody knows that I have this skill or else it may bring me some trouble.'
Anik from the side who was busy bandaging Aaron's left arm, saw that he was dosying around, whikst pointing his finger on air, almost like he was counting something.
'What is he doing?' Anik thought to himself, but he didn't think much of it at the time.
