"Have you found anything? When the English teacher was giving us a lecture, did you find something odd about him?" Jihan asked Adrian as they are eating in a corner of the park.
"Other than confirm that he is a Deviant, I got nothing else. He is concealing his powers by shrinking his aura. He is good but he just exposed himself to an empath with how shrunken down his aura that much. He had the aura of an almost dead person." Adrian replied.
"Heard anything from Patricia?" Jihan asked.
"You mean our mother?" Adrian stated.
"Creepy but not false." Jihan rebutted.
"She already texted me the details that she already made the home base. She has finished setting everything up. Who knew that you could have a whole floor in a building be reserved? The company is even real which is even more outstanding." Adrian stated.
"That is probably set up by my family since Joe will not be able to do that. He probably contacted them." Jihan stated but Adrian noticed a slight change of emotion from the tone.
"How did Joe do it?" Adrian asked.
"My family probably agreed because they are also conducting an investigation about this case. One of them should be in this case as well." Jihan stated.
"I see. That should explain the aggressive aura that I can sense in the other room. It has almost the same constitution as yours, but it is different." Adrian stated as he went back down because the stairs to return as the bell just rung.

"School is finally done!" the students stated as some started preparing for academies and the others hanging out.
Adrian and Jihan are joined by three of their classmates that could be considered as the friendliest persons alive. They already started calling both Adrian and Jihan casually using their first names instead of their last names. The two did not mind as their mission is to know more right now since nothing happened in school this day.
The three of them gave their English names to Adrian and Jihan as they too have experienced being a transfer student. It seems that they studied in international schools in order to learn English. Their English names are Jennie, Danny and Justin.
"So, tell us about the ghost stories at your school." Jennie asked as they are now ready to talk with each other since they got their snacks.
"It is not much of ghost stories because we actually experienced them. I have two experiences while Jihoon has one. Although, you are free to not believe me as not many people are believers of the paranormal." Adrian stated as he ate a chip.
"I should start with mine then since I only have one encounter. I encountered the one dubbed as the 'Crying Lady' in our old school." Jihan stated as he slowly told the story.
Jihan told them that Adrian did not join him in coming home that day because the former was practicing for a competition. He is basically the last student to leave the gymnasium where they practiced judo. He is training hard since the competition is almost near.
"He forgot to tell you that he was not alone because he had many fan girls back in our school. They basically hound him and give him drinks after the end of each training session." Adrian added.
"I definitely do not doubt that. He looks like a model after all. Even I am jealous that he has great physique and is good looking. People like you must die!" Danny jokingly stated which made the others chuckle a little.
"You praise me too much. Anyways, I will get back to the story. The shower area and the restroom area are separated in the school but only a wall separates it. I was basically taking my shower when I heard someone whimpering and it sounded female.
Females are not allowed in that part of the room because you will need to pass by the locker room for the boys. We also have someone on duty outside the locker rooms so that no one will sneak in. The fact that I heard a woman crying made me curious.
I dressed up immediately and went to investigate. I reached the restroom area when the crying suddenly stopped. Then after a few seconds, I heard the crying near my ears and then to one of the urinals.
I was basically not believing what is happening because I am not one to get easily scared by horror stuff. The real thing is actually much more different than what you see in the movies. My whole body actually felt chills, but I still proceeded with opening each door to the urinals." Jihan stated.
"And?" Justin asked.
"That is just it. I opened each door and the crying disappeared. No one is there. I actually froze for who knows how long. I only got back from my daze when the janitor told me that he would be cleaning the restroom. It is actually that time that I started to believe in the paranormal." Jihan stated which made the others skin crawl.
"There really is no one there? You are not lying right?" Danny asked with a slightly joking tone but there is slight fear mixed in the tone of his voice.
"He actually never told me about that until I experienced the haunting of the 'Crying Lady' herself." Adrian stated which made everyone focus his attention on him.
"You guys are brothers. I bet you share a lot of things with each other." Jennie stated but all of the boys disagreed.
"You do not know this, but men do not share things without proof with each other. Also, when it comes to brothers, you do not share things that might worry the other. You do not know this because you are an only child." Danny stated.
"Well…sorry for being ignorant." Jennie stated.
"We are not mocking you, but relationships are different from boys and girls." Justin stated.
