Deranged Writer's Afterword

Moving past the gates, Lecia parts ways with us to return to her own room.

Eric and I head slowly back to our room, after walking for a few minutes Eric spoke for the first time since we got here,

" You know....I've been meaning to ask you something."

" What is it ?", I say wondering what my 'best friend' wanted.

...

Heh.

Eric stared ahead of us, debating something in his mind.

" That conversation with Dina, being your mother and all.....is there anything you want to tell me ?...."

Oh.....I did tell him something along the lines of 'killing my mother' didn't I ?

" No....", I say immediately.

Eric stared at me, a rare smile attached itself to his face,

" Everybody's allowed to keep secrets....but I think you should learn to lie better, I don't think we can afford another outburst from you."

Hmmmm, true....but-

" I could do that.....but all of you could just stop hitting and annoying me every chance you get."

" I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.", Eric says grimly.

We walk in silence for awhile after which Eric says,

" About that...I'm sorry about punching you that day...I shouldn't have don-"

I cut him off and say,

" It's all cool since you're my 'best friend' and all..."

Hearing me, his face slightly goes red but luckily for him, he was saved from total embarrassment as we were interrupted by Jennifer and Jacob.

" What's up ?", Jennifer greeted us for the both of them.

I've been noticing it for awhile now but I think Jennifer coddles Jacob too much, the guy can't even look me in the eye....probably because he's intimidated by my awesomeness.

Anyway....yesterday I made everyone promise that they wouldn't tell Jennifer and Jacob the 'truth'. I made the excuse that we weren't that close to them but the truth of the matter was that I didn't want them to know the truth since they're variables that I don't know how to deal with...so it was best to leave them be.

Jennifer asked us about our vacation and some other things before bidding us farewell. We still had to keep all our luggage back in our rooms, it was even more troublesome for me as I had to carry a huge ass cage, in which Rhys was sleeping peacefully.

After making our way back to the room, we quickly unpack everything and head back to class.

" Why's it so crowded here ?", I asked stepping on a stranger's foot for the tenth time.

" It's probably because they wanna see their results."

Oh yeah....that's pretty obvious isn't it ?

I think I might be a little dumb-

" Hey guys !"

We turn around to find Katherine waving at us from a distance.

I thought that Katherine would be the one most angry after learning the truth since we were quite close but her reaction was surprisingly the most subdued.

We didn't talk all that much after that....I was a little anxious but seeing her running towards us, all my worries seemed to go away as if seeping into the background.

" Did you guys check the result ?", Katherine enquired looking past us at the huge screen in front of us. We were in the 'results' room now, where a huge ass screen was displayed in the center, beside the screen there was a small device that we could use to type in our admission code and our results would be displayed on the screen.

After a lot of pushing and shoving, we finally managed to secure the device.

Eric went first, his scores were great as expected from the son of a large conglomerate as 'Grey Tech'.

Katherine went next and her result was the best.....literally the best in our class, she was first in the theoretical exams but was the fourth in the practical test.

It was an impressive feat as expected from someone from the Colleen family.

I went in next, typing in the code....I felt strangely anxious and excited.

Pressing 'enter' I stared at the screen where my results was displayed.

" Woah.....", Eric muttered out in excitement while Katherine had a small frown on her face.

I was quite surprised myself...

Everyone who saw my results on the giant screen gasped in shock.

Well, my results for the theoretical part wasn't anything that impressive but for the practical test....I was given the first rank which meant that I had scored the highest.

That should be impossible...-

'Wait....I didn't really do anything for my practical test'

That's right...I didn't do shit because there were no monsters to fight. I don't know on what basis they grade us but it seems like I really lucked out this time.

But I'm sure that this will raise some questions.....which might prove bad for me but who cares....it's just a stupid exam.

" I'm gonna head over to class.", I said leaving behind my stunned friends.

~~~~

That day, a bizarre rumour started spreading at Unity.

A rumour that the weakest student at Unity had scored more than anyone in his class....that too on his practical test !

But what they didn't realize was that....this student was only starting to show his true colors....

That boy was capable of much more....much more horrifying things.
