They'd been at it for almost an hour when they all seemed to get a message at the same time. Chase panted slightly as he stopped punching, " Mrs Odette needs us ". Dylan stopped throwing, " I wonder why "?
Peach panted slightly, towel around her neck " She's the school nurse ". Kofi jumped down, walking towards them " You mean the temperamental woman is in charge of our health "?
Peach laughed, " She's not that bad.....as long as we're on her good side ". Kofi scoffed lightly, " That's gonna be hard. Let's go ". She picked Whiskers and put him on her head, " I've still got so much training to do ".
**^**^**^**^**^**^**^
When they got to the nurse's office, it wasn't only Odette that was there. Byran and Hawk were there too. Kofi hid behind Dylan, whispering to them " Are we in trouble "?
Byran smiled warmly, " Not at all. We just wanted to talk ". Chase nodded slowly, " About what "? Hawk sighed, " The ordeal you all just went through ". Peach tilted her head to the side, " Is it to buy our silence or cos your suspicious about our mental health "?
The room went silent and she laughed nervously, scratching her head " With all due respect of course ". Odette smiled, " It's a little bit of both. The fact that your all still alive is a strange miracle in itself. The fact that you seem unfazed by your experience and actions is simply intriguing ".
Hawk nodded, " She's right and whatever attacked you guys, knows what you look like. Enough to pique their interest too ". Kofi looked around the room absent mindedly, " So what solution do you propose "?
Byran spoke seriously, " We were hoping to make you personal disciples. Though it might not seem as such, but our identities can act as a sort of shield against most enemy attacks ".
The others were obviously excited and Peach jumped up, " This is amazing ". Kofi suddenly shook her head, " Not interested ". The others stopped celebrating and Chase covered her mouth, " Don't mind her. She's delusional from all the blood loss "
Kofi shook his hand off, speaking seriously " Don't get me wrong, its an honour and all but I don't want more than one master " [ What nonsense am I saying? ] Byran pouted slightly [ I can't lose this killing machine ] " Then how about a teacher instead "?
Kofi looked down at Whiskers who seemed to nod his head and she smiled, " I guess that's fine ". Byran sighed as he hugged Hawk, " I thought I was gonna lose a potential disciple...I mean student ".
Odette pointed at Peach, " I'm your new master. You better be okay with it ". Peach nodded, obviously bubbling with excitement " Of course I'm okay with it ". Hawk looked at Dylan, " I'll be training you from here on out ".
Dylan quickly bowed, " Thank you master ". Byran smiled at Charles who had a blank expression on his face, " Arlo is on a trip at the moment but he expressed his interest in wanting you to be his disciple Charles. Are you okay with it "?
He seemed to be in a daze but Peach quickly spoke up, " Of course he's okay with it ". Dylan jabbed him in the ribs, " Right Charles "? He snapped out of his daze and nodded, " Yes ".
Kofi quickly interrupted, " Now that that's settled. Let's get to the buying our silence thing ". The others looked at her disapprovingly and she shrugged, " What? I really like this money thing ".
**^**^**^**^**^**^
Kofi smiled to herself as she checked her account balance through the nano tech in her eye [ six million virsel, I like the sound of that ] The others were in a bit of a daze. Byran had originally offered them half a million but Kofi would hear none of it.
She managed to raise the price to a million, making the school cough up four million in total to buy their silence. Chase looked at his wristband, " I've never imagined owning so much money at once ". Peach smiled, " I know right, my allowance times infinity ".
Dylan smiled slightly, " What are you gonna do with yours "? Chase answered calmly, " Put nine hundred in the bank and let the interest build " [ And keep my siblings from stealing my money ]
Peach tilted her head thoughtfully, " I was gonna do some shopping but I guess I'll save some of it too ". Dylan eyed her teasingly, " How much of it "? She looked away guilty [ There goes my shopping spree ] " Maybe save eight hundred ".
Kofi was smiling to herself, " I have so much money now ". Dylan rolled his eyes, " How much could you possibly have "? She looked at him innocently, " You wouldn't believe me even if I told you ".
Peach held out her hand in front of her, " I can't believe it, it was like we never got shot in the first place ". Dylan clicked his tongue, " I doubt I'll be forgetting that healing process ". Charles suddenly seemed tired, " That was excruciating ".
Peach nodded, " Yeah ". Dylan twitched slightly, " She is worthy of her nickname ". Chase brightened as if he remembered something, " We're gonna be getting custom made weapons soon. Have you guys thought of your code names yet "?
Peach shook her head, " No. Honestly, I didn't think I'd make it this far ". Charles nodded, " True, me neither ". Dylan smiled, " Now that we're the winners of the training course with a whooping level 25, I think we should be sleeping easy for a while ".
Peach smiled, " You're right. Let's go to the market and celebrate ". Kofi stared at her in confusion, " Mar-ket? What's that "? Peach smiled excitedly, taking her hand " I'll show you tonight ".
She nodded and Peach turned to the boys, " You coming "? Dylan nodded, " Yeah, someone has to keep this monkey out of trouble ". They turned to Chase and he sighed, " Sure, why not "?
Peach nodded, " Alright, we'll meet at the central gate by six then ". She dragged Kofi along who managed to wave back, " See you guys later then ".
