"Your number!" Iona ordered impatiently.
"Yes" He subconsciously answer. He gave his phone number to Iona. Well, he could not reject her order.
The two exchanges their phone number. Iona and Emilia left the scene while Rey was standing on top of the building alone. He was still dumbfounded about the recent news. 'How did the two knows about spiritual energy? Could it be.. Earth has mages and warriors as well!'
Rey was stood in daze for several minutes before decided to go back to the class. The moment Rey's figure entered the class the whole attention was directed to him. The boys emitted their killing intent blatantly while the girl was curious. The teacher also has her attention stolen. She was angry towards Rey.
"Rey Harry! How dare you skip my class?"
"I am sorry, Ms. Elizabeth. I was not skipped your class. I got stomachache, so I was in the treatment room for a moment."
Ms. Elizabeth was their English teacher. She is kind and passionate. She would angry to the indiscipline student and would yell at them. She is 24 years old and only begun her teaching career two years ago. She has a great figure so that a lot of boys in the school were fall for her. She is single and live alone in the D City.
"Really?" Elizabeth rage was subsided. "Alright, go back to tour seat!" She commanded and continue the lesson. Rey teacher could believe what Rey has said but his classmates were not. They know the reason why Rey was late for the class. They have various question in their mind at the moment.
'How did she know Rey? What was their relationship? What is he doing with the Goddess? Were they in a relationship? Fuck, I gonna kill him for sure.'
The class ended. The whole class attention was directed to Rey. Some of the boys started to grab Rey hand and body preventing his escape. Dave was not defended his friend and seemed supportive to the mob's action while the girls knowingly left the 'court'.
Actually, Rey could easily break the 'siege' since his body was becoming stronger day by day by absorbing the spiritual energy, but he chose not to. He only surrendered to the mob.
The class started to become crowder and crowder. The students dominated by boys from another class come to Rey's class. The class was in chaos. The 'sinner' would soon be punished by the 'judges'.
"Sinner Rey, you have done a great sin. DEATH SENTENCE!"
"Sinner Rey, you have been corrupted. DEATH SENTENCE!"
"Sinner Rey, your deed has been revealed. DEATH SENTENCE!"
…
The mob have their own opinions. They begin shouting and demanding for the 'sinner' life.
"Silent!" Suddenly a roar was heard. The voice was so loud so that the entire students were taken aback. The person who has the loud voice was Xavier, the president of Karate Club. The mobs were in silent before Xavier continued coldly. "Explain!"
"I.. I real.. really don't know anything." Rey replied with a weak voice and sounded pleading.
"I see, hehe…" Xavier sneered, his expression was scary which made Rey terrified. The other boys in the classmate has the same expression as Xavier. Rey's face became paler and paler.
"Please.." Rey plead for his little life.
The trial continued. The mobs punish the 'sinner'. Forcing Rey to do chores until they were satisfied. The girl was oblivious about Rey's punishment. The punishment ended when the break session ended, and the teacher started the class.
--
Rey dragging his tired body after doing chores for the 'judges'. He thought that after the break, the boys will leave him alone, but they were not. They boys surrounded him after the class ended. While Bella and the girls going home, Rey and the boys were not. The punishment was ended when the sky turned yellow.
Rey was clearly tired while his face was pale. He looked really sick. He arrived in his beloved room and threw his body. He was sleeping for an hour before his sister dragged him for dinner. With his sleepy eyes, Rey was complied. Well, Rey only has breakfast today, because of the earlier event.
Suddenly her sister spoke. "Aren't you gonna told mom and dad about your job?"
Rey was taken aback by his sister's sudden question. 'Indeed, sooner or later. I should tell them about it. Better to told them now, I guess.' "Alright, I will tell them about my job." The two has not reached the dinning room, so that their parents could not hear their conversation. The two sat normally and the family begin the dinner just as usual.
"Son, where was you this afternoon?" His mother suddenly asked. Rey was smiled bitterly hearing the question while Bella knowingly in silent. She does not want to expose the event.
"I had a project in school. So, we should stay for a little longer."
"Oh, but you look so pale. Didn't you have lunch with your friends."
"We do, its just that we were so tired after the project."
"It seems you have a lot of project recently." His father suddenly stated and then with his suspicious look he asked. "Did you hide something, Son?"
"Well.." Rey took a deep breath before continued. "Dad, mom, actually I had a job." The parents were shocked by the revelation. They were staring their son in silent with a hint of anger and dissatisfaction in their eyes.
The father sighed deeply. "It seems our son has grown up. Come on, tell us. What is your job?"
"I am a porter."
"Oh, what kind of goods that you deliver?"
"It was kind of medicine…"
"Is it drugs?" Mr. Harry suddenly raised his voice and clearly angered.
"No dad, it was not drug. I deliver herb for medicine. Recently I deliver a ginseng to the owner of Z building, and in the future, I will deliver other goods to him and to other people as well. My job has nothing to do with drug."
"I see." Mr. Harry's anger subsided. "So, which company you work for?"
"It was not a company. This mmm… My employee was kind of hidden master."
"Hidden master? Hahahahaha.. Son, do you take us for a fool, ha? Listen, bluffing us….."
"ED!!!" The mother suddenly raised her voice. "Let him continue." Mr. Harry was taken aback because his wife was rarely raised her voice, especially in their child presence. "Alright. Son, explain!"
"There was a master that contacted me he over me this deal while threatening to kill me if I refused. I was clearly afraid because of it so I complied. He told me his herbs and told me to buy several things for him such as salt, sugar, bucket, etc. I also confused by his requests, but I could only obey him. Sometimes he told me to certain place and place the goods without his presence."
Rey's bluff was really convincing to the parents and Bella who listen the whole conversation in silent. Rey clearly prepared this 'reason' before telling the parents. The parents stared at each other and nodded. The father then said.
"Actually, I still don't believe about your explanation. Do you have some sort of evidence?"
"Dad, he is a hidden master. So, he would never leave any kind of evidence, but I could show you this." Rey reached his pocket and took out his phone. He handed the phone showing the balance in his card.
"FUCKK!!!" Mr. Harry roared. Mrs. Harry was not reprimanding Mr. Harry because she was so shocked and forget that Mr. Harry's word was a bad word. Bella was also shocked by Mr. Harry sudden roar. She was curious for the content inside of the phone that made her parents became like that.
"Good son. You are richer than me. How dare you!!"
Seeing his angry father, Rey could only smile bitterly while Bella was reaching the phone in the table. She looked at the content and frozen in her chair. 'No wonder my father had this kind of expression. My brother was so rich. He gave me so much money before, but I never thought that he was this rich.'
The dining room was in silent. No one spoke. The three was staring at the same person, Rey. A moment later, Mr. Harry broke the silent. "Alright, we will believe you now. I don't sure about the master you talk about, but this money could not be earned by ordinary people."
"Dad, actually, I had one more thing to say."
"What is it?" Mr. Father seemingly tired by the previous event. He answered with his weak voice.
"That master told me to find a house. He said that it will make our meeting more convenience."
"Sigh.. You had the money and now you abandoned us. What an ungrateful son you are."
"Dad, it was not…"
"Alright son, your father is understood. He is just feeling a little down because how rich you are."
"Alright…"
Mr. Harry has lost his appetite tonight he left the dining room with his pale expression.
"Don't mind him, he just needs some time alone." Mrs. Harry assured. "So, when will you move out?"
"This weekend, mom." "Oh, ok. Let's finish the inner for now."
The family continued the dinner in silent while the father was already in the bed.
