"You will? Oh, thank you so much!" Marie says as she grabs onto Kio's arms and pulls him in for a hug. Having her pressed up against him so tightly causes Kio to start blushing, and he stands there stiffly. "Oh, I'm sorry, I did that without thinking," Marie says as she quickly backs up and hides her face behind her hands.
'Who knew a girl could get so excited by someone telling her they were going to kill a teacher,' Kio thinks as he straightens out his sweater. "Don't worry about it, just tell me who the teacher is, and what you know about him," Kio says as sits back down on the couch, with Marie sitting down next to him.
"Well, as I said earlier he can manipulate metal, and I believe he attended all four years at the school. Oh, he is also the teacher of the class S-1, and I heard that he is a bit of a pervert, but that's all I know about him at the moment. Does that help you out at all?" Marie asks as Kio sits there quietly.
'Her mission is to kill my teacher... And I just told her I would help her do it. Well no backing out now, I guess,' Kio thinks as he thinks of a way he can kill his teacher without getting caught. "Do you think you could get him to go to the roof. If I'm hiding there and he walks close to the edge, I can push him off the side. Then you will run out onto the roof and watch as he falls off it, leaving you as the witness to his death. Of course, you have to get there after him and have someone with you who see's that there is no possible way you were the one who pushed him," Kio says as Marie nods her head.
"I think I can do that, and I believe that I can get a few of the boys in my class to follow me up there. For some reason they seem to really like me," Marie says as she hops up and down on the couch, shaking her melons.
"Yeah... for some reason," Kio says as he quickly looks away from Marie, his face becoming red once more. 'I wonder if this is all an act," Kio thinks as he looks at the fireplace. "So, do you think you can get him up there by nine tonight. That would be the best time for us to act," Kio says as he turns back to Marie, who nods her head.
"I can definitely do that, by nine tonight he will be there," Marie says as she hops up and bids Kio goodbye, before running through the fireplace to get ready. Having nothing left to do, Kio stands up and is about to follow her out when a tall, blond boy steps in front of him.
"Hey, you should be careful of Marie, she usually keeps her real thoughts hidden behind her facade of innocence," He says before stepping through the fireplace. Confused, Kio quickly follows after him, only to not see him in the room as he leaves the fireplace.
"Was his power speed? How could he have disappeared so quickly?" Kio says as he walks to the part of the room where he had come in and looks at the wall in front of him. 'Crap, I don't know how to get out of here," Kio thinks as he begins pressing all the tiles on the wall. Eventually one of them moves, and the wall opens up, allowing Kio to quickly step out of the room. Looking around, Kio notices that none of the students around him seem to notice the wall moving.
"Hey, did you hear about the class that was set on fire today? I heard one of the students lost control of their power and ended us sending a few kids to the nurse," A boy says as he walks by Kio with his friends. Confused, Kio steps forward and ends up startling the group. "Woah, where did you come from?" the boy who had been telling the story says as he jumps back.
"Huh, I was standing against the wall right there," Kio says as he points to the wall behind him. The group of boys look at the wall closely before shaking their heads. "Just be careful, okay. I almost went off on you there," The boy said as he and the group walk off. Curious, Kio turns around and leans back against the wall, watching as students pass by him without noticing him.
'Is there something about this wall that makes it so normal humans can't see it clearly? That would make sense if it was put there to hide us from entering and exiting the room,' Kio thinks as he decides to head back up to his classroom and talk to Toby. 'Maybe he can tell me more,'
"Hey Kio, were you able to find what you were looking for?" Toby asks as Kio walks into the classroom. Looking around, Kio notices that Toby is currently climbing a rock wall that is in the corner.
"Yeah, but I was hoping to talk to you about something. Do you mind helping me out in the dorm?" Kio asks as Toby nods his head and hops off the wall.
"Sure, I already picked out your bed and everything," Toby says as he leads Kio into the dorm area and over to a small window alcove. Beneath the window alcove is a bunk bed, with some items already set up on the bottom bunk. "I choose the bottom bunk, but if you want it you can take it," Toby says as Kio shakes his head. "By the way, where is all your stuff?"
"My stuff?" Kio asks as he looks at Toby with a confused look on his face.
"Yeah, like your clothes, and sleeping supplies? I had all my stuff delivered to the room, but I haven't seen you with anything except the clothes on your back all day. Don't tell me you forgot it at home?" Toby says as sits down on the bottom bunk.
"Um, that's right, but I was hoping I could buy some stuff at the shop later," Kio says as he remembers that the President of the Academy told them that their building would have a store where they could buy stuff with either merit points or real money.
"That makes sense, if you want we can go now," Toby says as he hops back up and grabs his wallet. "There are a few things I want to get as well,"
Pulling out his own wallet, Kio checks it to make sure he actually has money to spend. Inside the wallet is his ID, a couple of dollars, a debit card, and lastly a condom. 'What the hell am I going to need this for?' Kio thinks as he rips the condom out of his wallet and throws it into a garbage can on their way out of the room. As Kio follows Toby out of the classroom, he notices that Marie is standing next to the desk and talking to the teacher. As they talk Scott's eyes keep wandering down to Marie's scantily covered plum, and he keeps wiping his nose with tissues.
'Guess he is more of a butt guy, freaking perve,' Kio thinks as he leaves the room and follows Toby down the hallway. "Hey, do you actually know where the store is? You got us lost earlier," Kio says as Toby stops and turns around.
"Crap, hold on a second," Toby says as he runs back to the classroom, and comes back a few seconds later with the school map in his hands. "Now I know where we're going, and it's that way," Tobys says as he turns around and begins heading the opposite way they had been going.
Shaking his head, Kio once again follows Toby, this time as they go down the stairs and pass by the secret room.
"Hey, Toby, why didn't you tell me about the secret society in the school? Kio asks as he glances at Toby's face, which has a frown on it.
"There is a secret society in our school? I've never heard of it," Toby says as he turns to look at Kio with a serious look on his face, "How did you find out about this secret society, and how can I join?"
"What do you mean, aren't you already a part of it?" Kio asks in confusion as he thinks back to the book that Louis had handed him.
"Haha, I wish I was part of a secret society, that would be so cool. Sadly, I am not, but if you do find one, let me know," Toby says as turns to look back at the map. "Ah, here it is," Toby says as he points at a solid wall without looking up from the map.
"Here is what?" Kio asks as Toby frowns and looks up, still pointing at the wall.
"The store is right.... Huh?" Toby stops as he stares at the wall, dumbfounded, before looking back down at the map. Turning it around in his hands, Toby's face becomes red. "It is actually over there," Toby says as he points at a store on the other side of the hallway.
"Haha, you aren't very good with directions, are you?" Kio asks as he and Toby walk over to the store. Entering the store, Kio sees multiple students mulling around and picking items up. The store has all kinds of things, from sleepwear to camp gear, and much more.
"Should we split up, and meet back here after we got what we need?" Kio asks as Toby looks around the store fearfully.
"I'm not sure I'll be able to find my way back here. I'm might get lost, and never leave this store, and you wouldn't want that, would you?" Toby asks as he suspiciously looks at Kio, who shrugs his shoulder and begins to run off.
"It would be good practice for you," Kio says as he disappears behind some shelving, leaving Toby to figure things out for himself. After making sure that Toby won't be able to find him, Kio slows down and begins to think to himself about what Toby said earlier.
'Was he being serious, or is he keeping quiet to not let the secret get out. I'm not sure, but it would probably be wise not to say anything else about the secret room until I know more,' Kio thinks as he begins his search for supplies. Other than the normal items he needs, such as clothes and sleeping supplies, Kio also wants to find some type of weapon he can use in case his spikes don't work.
Walking around the store, Kio was surprised by the variety of things. Most of the stuff he had seen on the tv or in the places he lived when he was still a lizard, but there were also a few new things.
"What is this?" Kio mutters as he picks up a green sphere with a red handle on it. The item was heavy, and there was the number fifty on it. Looking around, Kio saw a group of kids staring at him in shock. One of the kids was from his class and was telling the others how Kio's power wasn't super-strength. Worried, Kio put the weight back down and quickly left the aisle. 'I hope that didn't make them suspicious of me,' Kio thinks as he heads to the hardware section.
Picking up some rope, tape, and paint Kio headed over to get the rest of the stuff he needed before waiting at the exit for Toby. A few hours later, Kio is surprised to see Toby being lead to the exit by a security guard.
"Dude, what happened?" Kio asks as Toby is shoved out of the store.
"I got lost for a few hours, so I made a ruckus to get myself kicked out of the store. They said I couldn't come back, but I don't plan on ever coming here again. Did you find what you need?" Toby asks as the two of them head back to the dorm.
"Yeah, I got blankets, clothes, and a few other things. I think I'm all set for the year," Kio says as he think back to the amount the ATM said in his bankaccount when he stopped there before leaving. 'I didn't even know the ATM had an infinity symbol,' Kil thinks.
