"Your'e not doing it right John, you need to focus on that energy," Dickson said as he tried to straighten Johns posture.
"We've been at it for more than an hour now. Why don't we just take a break and rest a little," John grumbled tiredly.
"You really are a pathetic shit," Dickson wispered under his breath.
"Why don't you just tell me one of your sci-fi theory while i'm at it," John asked Dickson.
Dickson turned towards the other side of the void which was pitch dark.
"As ive told you earlier, dimensional energy lets you communicate or interact with other universes even if it's just a fraction. If you are able to communicate and use the strength of 10 versions of yourselves in other realities then i believe your stats would immensely build up. Is'nt this an amazing break through in science--" Dickson turned back to look at John and discovered that he was already deep in his sleep.
"Jooohn!" He yelled out John's name in frustration.
"You know your theories are soothing music to my ears," John muttered as he sat upright.
Back the students hostel,
Eleen walked towards the male dorm, inquiring of the directions to John's room. After an hour of inquiring, she managed to get through.
bang
bang
The sound of the banging filled the room and Bruce went to receive the door.
"I'm looking for John," Eleen coldly said.
"He's not here and mind telling me who you are?" Bruce asked, curiously waiting for Eleen's answer.
Eleen left without responding to Bruce's request.
"what kind of weirdo is that," Bruce muttered unconcerned.
Eleen advanced toward the back section of the academy which was out of reach for students. Sarah caught a sight of her and followed her closely.
Eleen stopped at a hidden location and pulled out her hidden communication device. Just as she was about to use it, the voice of Sarah shifted her heart a little.
"Hey what are you doing here. It is out of bound for students," Sarah declared, looking for an answer.
Eleen walked passed her without saying a word. Sarah was filled with frustration but she bottled it up and followed Eleen and pulled her back.
"And where do you think you are going?"
Back at the villains head quarters,
"Prepare an army of our best men. To be precise, 20 in number. We are going to be running a raid round Hero academy," Prime master commanded (Austin)
"Will you also be joining the raid sir?" his subordinate asked.
"Yes and gather all the necessary equipments cause it's gonna be a full scale attack"
"Yes sir"
Back at the simulation room,
After a long hour break, Dickson resumed their lessons where he kept on teaching John how to use his core to attain maximum strength but all proved futile as all John could do was to just activate his core and use it.
"Your'e a really boring teacher you know! like how the hell can i not rotate my core if its not the teacher's fault," John complained tiredly.
"Why don't you just tell me fact rather than your theory bullshit," John complained jokingly.
Dickson grabbed John on the chin, "You know you i'm older than you with two months right?!" Dickson complained at John's attitude.
"Well it's not like those two months are enough to make you more mature!," John replied back like he was demanding for a fight.
"Johnnn!" Dickson yelled out before delivering a kick to John's face.
"I cant tolerate this bull shit anymore. I'll rather go straight to the beating part," Dickson said before frantically walking to John's position.
John cleared the blood on his mouth and stood up with no sense of cowardice.
"So where is all that courage coming from now?" Dickson asked as he rubbed the tip of his fingers.
"In life, they say whatever you can't do just run away from it," John declared before immediately dashing towards the remote control of the simulation room.
"Not on my watch" Bumps and various obstructions began appearing from the ground trying to stop John's motion.
As he dashed through the obstacles, a large boulder presumably the size of a car appeared in front him. There was no time to avoid but rather get hit or pass through the hit.
Right at the moment when he came in contact with the boulder, John found himself on the other side.
He stood motionless not bothered by what was going on around him.
Dickson immediately stopped the bombardment and dashed towards John.
"You finally did it John," Dickson smiled.
"I rotated my core--" John stuttered repeatedly as he slowly burst out in tears.
"But blacking out in the middle of a fight is un ethical," Dickson declared.
Dickson settled John on the floor
"So how did you feel when you passed through the boulder?" Dickson asked, smiling curiously.
"I don't know but it felt sensational" John smiled back.
"Sensation my ass" Dickson kicked John in the ass.
"Your'e not even in realty so we can only be sure if i turn off the simulation," Dickson said as he began to search around the space.
"What are you looking for?" John asked.
"The remote should be somewhere around this void," Dickson muttered under his breath without paying attention to John's question.
"You mean that remote over there was a fake," John's jaw dropped as he said this.
"well that was the only way i could make you to rotate your core and i can also control everything in this space," Dickson said confidently as he continued his search.
John looked left and right, discovering the very vast space.
"Why did you download me into this shitty world anyways," John grumbled as he lazily stood up from the floor.
"Hurry up and help me find it stupid!" Dickson answered back.
Back at hero city,
Grandpa discussed on the phone with Layla,
"I need you to tighten the school's security as much as possible and contact the higher up for high class supernaturals. Something bad is about to happen," grandpa said.
"And how do you know tha?..." Layla asked urgently.
"I once managed to copy the power of a fortune teller. His power was undeniably strong so the effects haven't fully wear off because i haven't used my core for a long time," Grandpa replied.
"oh i see" Layla said with a little bit of surprise and disbelief. I shall do that right away and you, stay safe.
Back at the simulation room,
John and Dickson scouted wrong the whole area but couldn't find the remote button. Just when they were about to give up, Dickson randomly checked his pocket and felt a round object in it. It was then that he removed the object and discovered it was the remote.
"My my scientists are so forgetful" Dickson laughed nervously.
John didn't look phased at all.
"You bastard how could you do such a thing. We've spent 30 minutes looking for something that was in your pocket the whole time?" John Kicked Dickson frustratedly.
Fwoosh
The world slowly began to vanish before John's eye and he could see that familiar room of Dickson once again.
"It's so nice to be home," he smiled.
"Home my foot. You were here the whole time" Dickson teased at John.
"So let's now see what you are made of"
