It had been a long day, with the sun setting, indicating the arrival of dawn and a reminder that the day will soon end.
Walking out of the building, Toku had a confused expression on his face, he was thinking about what had happened when it was his turn to take the test. Toku racked his brain to find an answer but because he didn't have any prior knowledge on the stone, he couldn't get an answer so he decided to ask Antonio when they got back home.
While walking along the same pathway he and Antonio had used to enter the main administrative building of ITI, Toku's ears peeked up and he halted his steps, like an antenna receiving signal from a satellite, Toku could her some faint noises, if he were to describe them, it sounded like someone was being chased by some people, the person had fallen had now been sorrounded with no where to go. When Toku received this signal, his first thought was to go check it out but due to his experiences in the forsaken realm, he decided to stay away because first of all it wasn't his business and also while at the forsaken realm, he learnt sticking your neck out for someone, will usually bring nothing but betrayal from the one you stood up for or you get beaten up with that person by the assaultants. But something was nagging at him to just go and check, he thought of it for sometime, and decided that if he couldn't do anything to help, he would just leave.
Yes his thought line might be harsh, but he didn't know the person,why they were being chased, or the number of the person that were the assaultant, so although it was harsh, it was also reasonable and besides one has to think of one's safety first.
So like a bat following the signal it has received about it's prey and tracking the signal back, Toku continued walking foward while following the signal he was receiving and to his surprise, the noises were coming towards him and that is when he decided to stop. He waited for some time and he noticed someone run past him, the person had golden brown hair that fluttered in the air as the person ran past him, the person had a black hoody on and also wore a black well fitted trouser. When the person ran past him, he felt a strong gust of wind, that blew past him and made his already scattered hair more scattered and although the wind wasn't enough to push him, it did make him shake a little. After the person, Toku saw another group of people chase the person, he counted them as they past him and he found out that they were up to five, four boys and one girl. Seeing all this, Toku just stood and started contemplating on what to do and after some thought, he had decided on his next course of action as he walked back towards the ITI's administrative building.
Running with all her might, a girl could be seen panting as she continued trying her best to not get caught by those who were chasing her. She had golden brown straight hair that danced in the air as she ran, with beautiful brown eyes to go with it, she wore a hoody, a black well fitted trouser that didn't hinder her movement at all and snickers, she looked young, most likely between fourteen years of age or sixteen, behind her was a group of five that chased after her relentlessly, they were made up of four boys and one girl all looking to have been the same age as the golden brown haired girl.
Taking a turn into an alley, the girl kept on running hoping to loose those chasing her but she came to an abrupt stop as she was met with a dead end, she turned around hoping that those chasing her wouldn't have arrived so soon, but that hope was thrown out the window as she saw a boy with blue hair, which had been cut or shaped in a bob style and had blue eyes to go with it, he wore a white shirt, black trouser and a corporate shoes which he used to casually walk into the alley. He walked into the alley with a satisfied and evil smile as he saw the girl lean up against the wall, behind him came in four other, one had red spiky short hair, with dark eyes, he wore a normal dark shirt with dark trouser, he walked up to the first boy with blue hair who had stopped in front of the entrance, the next person to enter was a girl who had short blonde curly hair, it stopped just a little over the nape of her neck and had dark eyes, she wore a loose yellow blouse with black leggings and she too stood beside the blue haired boy, and the last to enter were two other boys, they seemed to be twins as they both had the same facial features, and the same body physique, they both had dark hair, with a pair of brown eyes each, and both wore a brown T-shirt with black trousers, they stopped right at the entrance of the alley, as though guarding it.
" So can you tell me what you gained running, only to be caught again?...." the blue haired boy asked but the girl didn't answer at all, she just looked around looking for a way to escape.
" why are you wasting your time leo, she didn't talk the first time, what makes you think she would talk now" the girl with the brown curly hair said referring to the blue haired boy whose name is supposedly Leo
" yeah Leo, Cloe is right, why waste our time talking when we can just take her by force" the boy with red spiked hair said as a ball of fire manifested in his had, he then positioned hiself in a way that he could easily launch the fire ball at the girl.
" I guess you guys are right, it does seem like she won't willingly agree to our proposal, especially after she insulted me" Leo said as he raised his hands up on which little streaks of lightening danced around.
The girl after seeing that it has come to this, prepared herself for any attack, and the first attack to come her way was from the boy with red spiked hair, he threw the fire ball that was as large as a grown adult's fist and has been levitating in his hand towards the girl , the girl seeing this jumped to the side in an attempt to dodge the fireball and she was successful but when it came in contact with the wall that was behind the girl, it let out a small explosion that covered atleast one meter in radius, the girl being in range of the explosion was hit and was repelled by the force. She was slamed into the adjacent wall of the alley with the repelling force of the explosion and after hitting the wall, she then collapsed on the ground.
The impact was great and the girl could feel that some bones in her body have been dislocated and the taste of iron lingering in her mouth. The girl slowly got up from the floor and wedged herself against the wall while she looked at the group in front of her, the blue haired boy was ready to attack but was stopped
" Leo why don't you leave this one to me, the girl is not worth it to make you waste your powerful lightening attack on her, me and Dave are enough to handle her" the curly haired girl name Cloe said.
Leo remained quiet and after some seconds " I guess you right" Leo then lowered his hand and the lightening that was dancing around them disappeared. The girl seeing this was happy and let her guard down a little, atleast she wouldn't have to deal with the terrifying lightening attack, but she made a terrible mistake letting her guard down, for a terrible force grabbed her and raised her in the air, she was atleast ten meters in the air, she couldn't move but when she looked down, she noticed the girl named cloe raising her hand up and was lowering it down at a pace that wouldn't kill her but will definitely make her break a few more bones. The girl couldn't do anything but closed her eyes and prepared herself for the worst but
"You brat, give that back, if I catch you, you will definitely regret it.....huh what are you all doing here....WHAT...drop the girl right this instant"
They all heard an elderly man's voice coming from the entrance of the alley and they all turned to see what was happening.
