" I can't believe you hid such an important information from me. My friends could have gotten hurt and you come here to tell me this now," John broke into tears as he yelled at them.
"You know what! i'm gonna go out to meet the people i consider family at least a bit," John wiped his tears as he hurriedly left the room. A moment of silence broke in the room as grandpa and Layla were both speechless.
Layla decided to speak,
"You were too harsh on him Kevin. You just made things a lot worst."
"It's not my fault, John has a lot to learn and he take things way too casually," Grandpa rubbed his head, trying to ease out the frustration.
"So what are you gonna do now," Layla asked.
"What else. We've got to train him any ways i have to get going now to meet my wife. She's been waiting in your five star guest room for a while now," grandpa stood up from the chair.
"And don't forget to greet your husband for me incase i-"
"He's dead!," Layla tried to hold her tears.
"Sorry about that Layla. I didn't mean to make you feel--"
"Don't worry its okay. So where are you gonna live now?"
"Well we'll figure that out on her own but my stay here may only bring more trouble for you guys. Anyways, i have to get my device see you," Grandpa said as he took his leave.
"I have a place for you to stay; It's an old building that was constructed around the time the academy was created but you should be able to manage it pretty well and besides it's at the other side of the academy where Super naturals reside so their will be less suspicion. And most importantly, you will be able to monitor John more closely," Layla bluntly said as she spinned her chair to the other side.
"I will discuss it with my wife," Grandpa proceeded to leave the room.
John furiously went out of the building while shedding tears,
"Hey John how are you-- oh this may not be a good time. Let's go guys," Soo ah decided to leave after noticing John was crying.
"No infact i wanted to meet you guys," John wiped his tears and began sniffing.
"Ok," Soo ah said.
"So you mean you guys haven't gone back to hostel since the last time we met?," John asked.
"No we couldn't find the hostel building," Rose replied as she nervously smiled.
"But it's clearly written there; STUDENTS HOSTELS," John pointed out the building for them as he slowly read out the building name.
"Hun!," they all expressed in surprised excluding Lucas.
"Lucas you knew right?! why didn't you tell us"
"Cause you didn't ask."
They all headed towards the Hostel building which was just a few steps away.
John brushed shoulders with Eleen but they both didn't notice.
"So your power really is just like that cat myth," John teased as he stared at Soo ah's stats.
"come on bro i'm actually better than some others you know , like that kid over there they call him stander because his ability is just standing for a long time without any leg ache so if he were to ever be involved in a bank robbery or something, he will be the last man standing," Soo ah defended himself.
"Well that is justifiable enough," John commented.
"Hey red tomato. Where are you going?," Soo ah voiced out to Rose.
"I'm going to the 'Female Hostel' dumb*ss and don't you ever call me red tomato again," Rose yelled.
They all approached the male hostel,
"Me and Lucas live in the same room 44 what of you John?," Soo ah asked.
"What a bummer but i live in room 120," John answered cheerfully.
"Don't worry we should keep in touch regularly," Soo ah said before patting ways with John.
"Well shall we get going then Lucas," Soo ah wrapped his arm around Lucas shoulder's before heading to their apartment.
As John walked towards his apartment, he kept on thinking about what his grandpa had told him,
"Well i think it really is a curse then," he muttered as he twisted the door knob.
Bruce was present, checking his face out on the mirror. (Bruce: one of the top five that talks like Shakes Spear).
"Finally a room mate," Bruce said excitedly as he applied lotion on his face.
"So are you the only one that stays here or what," John asked asked curiously.
"Don't worry thy luggages hath already arrived before thou comest here," Bruce replied.
"You say what now?!" John went over to his own bed and sat down.
"Pass me that bor ul of war are. Its on thy drawer," Bruce asked as he styled his hair.(Bottle of water).
"What's borul?," John asked confusedly.
"No need anymore but i hope thou feelest comfortable," Bruce said as he hurriedly put on his watch and left the room.
"Is he going on a date and what's with his voice but his stats were amazing. An A+," John lay on the bed as he crossed his arm over his head.
"I placed Bruce as John's room mate to keep better tabs on him and a new emotion suppressor patch is already being built," Layla discussed on the phone with grandpa.
"Carry on with whatever is necessary. I have a place to clean up with my wife," grandpa replied before cutting the call.
"Honey i hope John is alright. I haven't been able to speak with him since he started this academy," grandma asked grandpa.
"Don't worry honey John is not a kid anymore and besides, the academy is not so far from here, we should be able to see him now and then," grandpa reassured grandma as he hugged her by the side.
knock!
knock!
clak!
"Uhm hey Maya. I heard you were up and i decided to pay you a little visit," Bruce nervously said as he handed his bouquet of Flowers to Maya.
"I told you not to disturb me anymore Bruce but i will collect the flowers though," Maya snatched the flowers and then closed the door.
"At least it's something," Bruce reassured himself as he joyfully walked out of the building.
"I need you to find the mole in the association. Attacking hero academy just when John arrived cannot be a mere coincidence. Find the mole and leave the rest to me," Layla said as he she slowly let out a grin.
bzzt
bzzt
"Mom i heard you called for me," Sarah said through the phone.
"Just wanted to ask how your training was going and most importantly to keep an eye on John," Layla said.
"My training is going well but what's the deal with John. I don't see a reason why y-", Sarah curiously asked before she was quickly interrupted.
"Just do as you are told gosh," Layla cut the call in annoyance before slamming her phone on the desk.
Back at the hostel, John fell asleep but was quickly awakened by Bruce as he opened the door.
"Sorry i didn't mean to wake you up bro," Bruce apologized.
"What will you do if you think you have something but later discover you already have it all but you cannot use it," John asked as he stared at the blank ceiling.
"You just wokeup and you are already talking sh*t but if i already have all i need then i think i will be satisfied,"Bruce replied as he laughed lightly.
"Finally got you to stop talking like Shake spear," John laughed before jerking up from the bed.
"It's because Maya said she likes it," Bruce blurted out before covering his mouth.
"Oh i see so someone has been having a crush on someone," John teased.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming less tense, a new inbox poped up on John's status screen;
John i will tell you all you need to know but first you will have to go train with Dickson tomorrow. Make sure you meet him. He's the answer to some of your questions.
"What the!..," John exclaimed in surprise.
"Is everything alright bro?" Bruce asked.
"Yeah you don't need to worry at all. Good night." John replied as he rolled to the other side of his bed.
"Alright good night then," Bruce replied before turning off the lamp.
"I wonder what Dickson know's. I guess we'll find out soon enough," John thought as he slowly transcended into his sleep.
Snor!
Snor!
"No wonder he was the only one in this room," John thought as Bruce's snoring reverberated round the room.
The next morning, John met up with Soo ah and Lucas outside the hostel.
"You've got bags and dark cycle in your eyes John. Were you chatting with a girl last night," Soo ah checked John's eye before teasing him.
"I couldn't sleep last night because of Bruce's loud snoring," John replied weakly.
"At this rate, your'e gonna end up sleeping on grass. I wonder why you came out anyways," Soo said, curiously waiting for John's answer.
"I've got an appointment this morning," John said as he slowly took steps while staggering back and forth.
"Maybe a little nap should be-"
slump
Thud!
"Out of all places, this weirdo had to fall on a girl," Soo ah complained as he quickly tried to pull John away from Rose.
He Shifted John to the other side,
"Are you alright Rose?," Soo ah lended Rose a hand to stand up.
She brushed away his arm and replied,
"i'm fine," She blushed all over.
"So what are we gonna do with this lover boy right now."
"I have to follow Eleen's every move before informing John," Author thought as he followed Eleen closely from behind.
"I tried accessing John's info from the control room but it seems to be restricted info. I also tr-"
Thud!
"I think someone is here. I will call you back father."
