Chapter 4 - CHAPTER IV

"Dinner will soon be ready" Patricia said as she let go of Luna then cleaned her eyes and sniffed.

"Mummy are you crying"Luna asked "I'm just so happy with what you drew

that I didn't know when I started crying" Patricia said,

Back in the room Noble jumped on the bed faced down covered his head with a pillow and started screaming really loud

"arghhhhhhh....arghhhhhh...arghhhhhhh" after about two minutes of screaming he

raised his head ,lied on his back with tears flowing down the side of his

eyes"why did you have to leave us,you didn't even leave us a body to say

goodbye to"Noble said as he stood up and entered the bathroom to wash his face, starring into his reflection on the

mirror he began recollecting all the memories he tried so hard to lock up

"I wasn't always fatherless,at least up untill one year ago, my dad was a really good looking man ,

7ft tall dark skinned he was a scientist,he loved the theory that we are not the only ones in the universe.

At the earlier part of his life my dad was an astronaut and after much

exploration on Mars,where he was sent on space missions.

He got his heart stollen by a really beautiful pretty average woman whom

he met when he went to buy flowers for his mom on earth -my grandmom,and they got married.

They had two children,Me and me younger sister Luna

My dad believed in God and that he created us considering how complex our atoms are ,he believed that all life

including the earth were so perfectly made and thus disregard the theory of

evolution,with the help of Ten of his friends ,scientists who shared his

beliefs,they created a special department in NASA dedicated solely to

studying space materials and extraterrestrial life.

My dad was well respected though he was very humble never letting this

recognition make him proud,my dad was humble until his tragic end.

A large explosion was heard in his lab which led to a serious fire which engulfed half the building,

I was in school and saw this on the news while on break, because of this school for that day was cancelled.

There was only one survivor among my dad's colleagues, professor samuel,after

we went to visit him two days after the incidence we discovered he lost both his feet,

his hair burnt to the scalp,he was left with one arm,it was a miracle he was

still alive,numerous detectives tried questioning

him about the incidence,but when ever the question about what happened comes up he goes insane and starts shouting

"The men wearing armored suits,you must start away from the men wearing

armoured suits" we all thought it must have come with the trauma of loosing everyone fast.....

"Noble,food is ready"Patricia's voice brought Noble back to reality"I'm coming

mom" Noble replied and just like that he cleaned is face and headed downstairs.

Just like that a week past by,on the 17th of may 2023 the school was

bustling as students could be seen trying to do last minute reading running

up and down with books,today was the

first day of the last year's exams.

On the top floor of the three story school building,three boys could be seen intensely playing games while other

were reading "yo Noble revive me fast,find a place to scan my dog tag," Erun said "shut tf up can't you see a full

squad is after me,Zack take the Wheels"Noble said "ok"Zack responded

"oya I've finished scanning idiot better come back "Noble said "park at Sakura

and drop that switch blade for me " Zack said "the safe zone is

collapsing"an automated voice came out of the phone,"Zack you are out

sniper climb on that building ,Erun get ready to mount the ravenger launcher "Noble said

,"only two teams left ,getting close to victory "the automated voice said

again,"Noble where will you be going,it's only we and a team left"Erun said

"Don't worry about me, I'm flying solo

"Just don't die " They... a..re co..min..g"Zack said .

"Good job Zack ,daam Zack has taken out two,shit I've been snipped Noble

where are you"Erun said,the moment Erun died in the game and entered

spectators view,he went to see what Noble was doing and on his screen he

saw Noble's game character tap the shoulder of a character lying down with a snipper,then stabbed him

"Victory"Noble said "and with that's I'm officially a legendary ranker " Erun let out

a sigh of relief "five winnings at a stretch"Erun said excited "I ..am

legen..dary too"Zack said ..."nice one Zack "Noble said.

"ding dong ding dong"the sound of the school bell was heard by all

students,and a female voice heard from the speaker said "the Exam starts in five

mins,all students make way to your

assigned classes.

"Well it was a good game and we have exams to write see you all after the

exams"Noble said as he stretched out his hand for a fist bump."try not to

fail"Erun said as he fist bumped Noble

"suc..ces..s in exa..ms"Zack said as he fist bumped everyone,and they all went down to their class on the second floor.

Everyone would view it as strange how people would play games instead of preparing for exams,but the irony of all

this is that those three are among the

smartest In their various classes Noble had very retaintive memory he doesn't

forget anything he has seen or Heard,Erun on the other hand does not forget anything he has seen a

photographic memory.

Zack well...he just studies hard enough as not to forget all he's learned.

The exams are prepared so the students

wrote two papers per day this lasts for

one week and on rare cases extended to the next week.this year's exams was two weeks.the last day of the exam was a

breeze as usual for Noble

"Yeahhhh that was two weeks of stress this is the Time to live life,so how are

you planning on spending today since our exams are finished"Erun asked

Noble as they made Thier way out of the school gate ."well the usual play

some games watch anime or sleep "Noble said

"Ah boring,bro you need to have some

fun something"Erun said "well all I said right now was m version of fun"Noble said

"oh well I'm taking us out,there is this Virtual reality only game store I want to

try out and ya coming with me"Erun said "wait, for real?, ofcourse I am

coming"Noble said excited "you are getting free stuffs and are suddenly

excited" Erun said with a smile "hehehe "Noble replied smiling and rubbing his palms.

"Well what are you waiting for let's go,lead the way "Noble said excited.
