Chapter 94 The Test (1)



\'Am I being seduced ?\'

Seduction was not an area that I had much experience in so I wasn\'t that sure...but it\'s either that or Laurine Gem might be crazy...or trying to trick me...

" You\'ve been a naughty boy...", she says in a sultry voice.

I stare at her awkwardly because I have no idea what\'s happening....

We stay like that for a good amount of time, but out of nowhere suddenly Laurine starts laughing,

" Hahhahahah....your expression is priceless..."

Now I\'m even more confused....

Laurine buttons up her shirt properly and goes back to take her seat.

Seeing that I wasn\'t saying anything. Laurine says,

" Well....I suppose...I owe you an explanation..."

Laurine appeared a little more serious now...but I realize that was just my imagination as she starts cracking up yet again.

" Hahhah...I can\'t...your face !"

I\'m getting tired of this...to be honest....

She must have seen that my mood had soured as she calms herself down, after coughing to clear her throat, she says,

" I\'m Patrick."

....

" What ?", I ask confused.

" You know....Patrick...your friendly neighbourhood ascaris.", she says making a peace sign with her hands.

" I got that...but what are you doing here and in that particular body...?", I ask baffled...because I really am.

" Well...it\'s all because of you really, since you told the king that the princess was being kept in this school...the king couldn\'t help but wonder what else the school was hiding...so they had me get rid of \'Patrick\' and become \'Laurine\'."

.....

\'Yet another change..\', I thought stumped.

Well...this wasn\'t necessarily a bad change since the demons were technically on my side...but I can\'t let them find out that Domino\'s an angel. That would ruin everything. But I\'m pretty sure Domino can take care of herself but it\'s better to keep an eye on her.

The problem was that I still didn\'t know what Dina\'s endgame was.....what exactly did she want....is she an enemy or an ally ?

"But I don\'t think this body has any particular use...", Laurine complained.

" Why not ?....you\'re the principal to the most prestigious school in this world.."

" Well that is true...but I\'m more of a figurehead here....the management hired this women because they thought she would be the most easy to manipulate....I\'m just a puppet for them....but still we do have an entryway into the Unity now....there\'s that----"

Laurine kept on muttering to herself while I listened patiently.

" If there\'s nothing else, then I\'ll get going...", I say tired of her rambling.

" Wait !...I really do have something to tell you.", Laurine says in a hurry.

" What is it ?", I ask halfway through the door, now that I know that Laurine\'s an impostor I don\'t see the need to give her my respect as a student.

" You didn\'t come into detention yesterday...so I\'ll have to double it."

...

Shit....I forgot because of how tired I was yesterday.

" Hey....Patrick, can\'t you help a brother out ?", I ask pleadingly

Laurine smiles at me and says,

" We treat all our students equally and fair-"

\'Slam\'

I slam the door on her to not give her the satisfaction of besting me.

After lunch, I head to class for detention....

This sucks.....

I could be training now....

I open the classroom and take a seat in the middle.

The teacher monitoring us was our Morality Teacher, Mr.Lolz [that\'s his real name.]

I take out some books and start studying, since I didn\'t want to waste any time.

But my mind was too preoccupied to study right now, I had so many problems to deal with, the most important one being to deal with Dina.

In the novel, Dina was the first angel to be killed, she was killed by....herself. Max and Dina get in a heated battle and throughout the battle Max talks about the horrifying acts the \'angels\' committed...and Dina suddenly realized the gravity of her crimes...she lets Max kill her.

Max literally pulled a paruto.....

This whole arc received heavy backlash because how stupid the whole thing was....which it indeed was. By then I just wanted to finish the novel and be done with it, so I rushed the plot of the novel.

But the Dina in this world feels different....

The only thing I know for sure is that...for some strange reason she saved my life more than once....I need to find a way to confront her....

A tap on my shoulder breaks my thought train apart and I look to find Jennifer and Emilia beside me,

" What are you doing here ?", Jennifer asks looking excited.

" For detention ?", I say

Wasn\'t that obvious ?

" Not that dummy....I was asking how you got detention ?", she slaps me on the back and laughs out loud earning the ire of Mr. Lolz....who wasn\'t all that intimidating.

I make up a reason because I didn\'t want to let anybody know that I went out during the night.

It turns out that Jennifer got detention for the whole year for beating up that bitch who confessed to Eric and Emilia was in because she broke training equipment.

To pass the time, we played some games...

~~~~

Detention wasn\'t as bad as I thought, mostly because I had company. I\'ve learned to tolerate Jennifer and Emilia\'s a nice person to spend time with, I was glad for their company because it kept my mind of the many troubling things I had to deal with in the future.

I was heading back to my room now after detention with Emilia and Jennifer walking beside me,

" I\'ve been meaning to talk to you, Adam.", Emilia says smiling at me.

She continues,

" Could you come by my dojo sometime ?"

" Sure", I answer back.

I had nothing better to do, but I couldn\'t help but ask,

" Why though ?"

" Well...we wanted to formally thank you for helping our family out....I\'m sure you know..."

I don\'t know...

Just as I was about to ask Emilia more about this \'help\', Jennifer drags her away as she had seen her brother, Jacob Asher waiting for her some distance away.

As Emilia was being dragged away by Jennifer, she turns around and says,

" Let\'s all meet at the dojo after the practical test !"

I nod my head and continue towards my own room, still thoroughly confused.

~~~~

I entered my room to find a very angry Eric,

" He did it on my bed...", Eric says taking out his bow and aiming it at me.

" Eric...let\'s all just take a breath..kay ?", I say gently seeing the killing intent in his eyes.

" Nobody\'s calming down until you clean my bed....", Eric growls out.

A white arrow materializes in his bow....

I quickly dash around the room and clean the mess Rhys made, expecting the arrow to have disappeared by the time I was done...I\'m surprised to see that the bow still hadn\'t gone back into his sub-space.

" Eric ?", I ask confused.

Eric seemed to be deliberating for awhile before he finally says,

" I couldn\'t ask you since you were having your little \'episode\' then but seeing that you\'re fine now ...tell me why you lied that day ?"

" What lie ?"

To be completely honest there were so many lies now that I didn\'t really know which one he was going on about...

" You lied about killing your mother...", Eric said with a frown on his face.

Why does he think that was lie.....I think for a good minute before I finally remember that he was there when Lecia had talked about meeting my mother when she was young...

Oh.....

I sigh realizing my mistake and sit on my bed trying to think about a good lie...no should I just tell him the truth ?

All this lying is making me sick...

" I saw you were hurting and I wanted to help....I know that lying wasn\'t the way to go but...lying is the one thing I\'m best at...so-"

" So you lied about killing your mother ?!", Eric interjected.

I nod my head and say,

" I said that...because I hate my mother for abandoning me in that place....I\'ve killed her in my dreams if that counts.."

Hearing me, the frown on Eric\'s face softens a little..

Yes !

I knew that was the way too go..

Looks like I might be getting better at this \'lying\' thing...

" Can you forgive me ?", I ask Eric, trying my best to appear pitiful.

Eric sat beside me and fixed his gaze on the ground..

" It\'ll be hard...but I suppose I can.."

Yes !

Mission Suces-

\'Poww\'

Eric throws a punch across my cheek resulting in me falling down on the bed..

" I think I\'m ready to forgive you now..", Eric said grinning ear to ear.
