*** 5 minutes before curfew ***
- Alex arrived at his dorm room and see's Kai lying on the bed -
"Sup bro, so what did Sai say?"Kai asked resting his head on the bed and not looking at Alex.
"He didn't say anything but a lot of things happened and I need your help"Alex said with a sigh.
"What do you need my help for?"Kai asked raising his head to look at Alex. He was stunned to see Alex in tattered clothes.
"What the hell happened, bro?"Kai asked with shock written all over his face.
"A lot happened, when I arrived at the forest, I was attacked by Sai, I would have died if not that a power surge through me and can you believe it?, I was able to use the fire ability"Alex explained.
- After telling Kai all that Happened and told him not to tell anyone about the system, Kai agreed not to tell anyone. -
*** The next day at school ***
The news that Sai was badly beaten and was being treated at the school clinic had spread round the school, and Alex was called to a meeting with Hallmaster Dwayne that it was Alex who had beaten Sai up.
- In Master Dwayne's office -
"Sit down, Alex"Master Dwayne said as Alex entered his office and Alex sat opposite him.
"I heard you were the one who hospitalised Sai yesterday, is that true?"Master Dwayne asked.
"Yes sir, it was me"Alex replied truthfully.
"Then, why did you tell the nurse that you saw him lying unconscious in the bush?"Master Dwayne asked with a stern face.
"I was afraid that I won't be able to make it to my dorm before the curfew, so I had to lie to her to avoid more questions sir"Alex replied.
"Ok, how did his body and clothes get burnt?"Master Dwayne asked.
"It was during the fight when I almost lost consciousness that I was given the fire ability that turned Sai's body scorched black"Alex answered truthfully but omitting the part about his system.
"Are you sure you don't know how you got the ability?"Master Dwayne asked.
"Sir, I am sure I didn't have the ability before, I was just so angry that I didn't think of what I was doing"Alex said.
"Alright, you may leave for your dorm, I will take care of this matter..."said Master Dwayne "But try not to be involved in such mess again, if not..."He said as Alex was leaving the office.
'This is going to be a complicated matter about the boy, he is the first and only person I know that got an ability at the age of 17. I am sure that he is going to be a force to be reckoned with In the future' Master Dwayne thought.
