Leslie Vord or at least what was left of her was giving off a disgusting odor.

Both Eric and I take out our respective handkerchiefs and continue staring at her lifeless body in a dazed manner.

Unlike Jeremy whose importance to the plot was insignificant, Leslie was actually a very important part of the plot. She was part of the MC's harem and most definitely doesn't die in the novel.

When Jeremy died, I didn't really think much of this killer since Jeremy was just a side character and also just a student, but the killer, killing Leslie meant that he was actually stronger than her, and trust me when I say that Leslie was far stronger than most teachers here, this person isn't here to play around.

Also rather than calling whoever it was a killer.... it would be more apt to call heshe a serial killer since I'm ninety- nine percent sure that they'll kill again.

I have to catch this killer before that.

If something happens to Max or anyone in his group, then this world is pretty much finished. I could always kill the angels alone but that was a last case scenario. If the plot indeed gets twisted even further, then I have no choice but do it all alone.

To make sure, that doesn't happen... I'm going to find this killer and bring him to justice.

Lol, I never thought I would get to be the good guy...

I notice something weird about Leslie's body, the veins on her face have popped up and they're purple. It almost looks as if she's been poisone-

Impossible.

I move closer to her body causing Eric to move as well, even though he had no idea what the fuck I was doing.

My hunch was correct, she was poisoned.

This shouldn't be possible...

I'm not talking about her being poisoned, that was actually very possible.

I use the handkerchief to raise her hands and sure enough, her nails had turned black.

I've seen this poison before, it makes the nails of the victim turn black as a side effect.

Rather than calling it a poison, it would be more accurate to call it a skill.

A skill that the dead , Jeremy Dick used.

~~~~

Class was cancelled indefinitely.

The police were searching the whole school, the cameras in the school were all being checked thoroughly and everybody present on campus was being questioned.

Both, Eric and I just spent our time studying.

Teachers get killed everyday, but those tests aren't going anywhere.

I was trying to concentrate, but my mind was in complete disarray.

There were so many questions that needed to answered...

Like, how did the killer get control of Jeremy's skill ?

Yeah, I 'm pretty sure that the skill used to kill Leslie was one that Jeremy owned but it still didn't make sense.

Does the killer carry around a 'skill copier' ?

That thing was huge so people would have noticed, also skill copiers can only copy skills that are in a skill book. Once a skill is learned, there's no way of copying it.

The name of the skill was, '' Toxic Night'' and it was B rank.

Leslie was an A- rank and she could have easily fought against the skill, I mean she would have suffered some damage...but she wouldn't have died.

Leslie was also insanely strong, so to defeat her the killer would have to be stronger than her. Unless.. the killer was someone that she trusted...

We let our guards down in front of the people we trust.

That's why I don't trust people that easily.

Who would Leslie trust ?

She was a teacher who trusted her students, but none of the students in my class have the power to kill her.. so that rules out the students.

She trusts her father, but that idea wasn't even worth exploring. Why would a father kill his own daughter ?

She could have a secret lover who she trusts... it's a possibility, just because I created her didn't mean I knew her entire life story.

Uhhgggg. I'm getting a headache.

I close my history textbook and jump onto my bed and sleep for awhile.

It's been four days since Leslie was murdered in cold blood.

Both Eric and I have been questioned multiple times by both the police and the management of the school, most of the students have been questioned more than once.

It seems the school was still struggling to find the killer.

So... this killer somehow managed to escape undetected after killing a teacher. The cameras showed nothing out of ordinary and nobody saw anything remotely suspicious.

Apparently, the forensics team didn't find any fingerprints on the knife either.

The case of the serial killer at the Unity remains open.

The whole world or what was left of it was criticizing the Unity for their lack of security. Parents were protesting outside the school to let their children out because they thought that their children wasn't safe at this cursed school.

Usually when such an incident happens, the principal usually calls a press conference and issues an apology but none of this was done.

Nobody could really blame Principal Gordon, his only daughter had been killed,

He wasn't in the correct state of mind.

None of us had even seen him these past few days.

~~~~

It's Saturday and most of the students were getting ready to leave.

I finished packing my bags and bid Eric goodbye.

I reach the mansion in 25 minutes, I really should use a 'gate' one of these days.

I wanted to stay at school and investigate the murders but I had already made plans with Lecia.

We were going to watch a movie.

A romantic flick starring Ryan Jostling, I could already predict that the movie was going to be boring but Lecia liked this sort of thing, not that she asked to go, She hasn't stepped out of the mansion even once and I'm a little worried.

I thought for sure that she wouldn't want to go, but when I asked her... she agreed readily. The movie was in the evening so there was plenty of time left.

I go inside the mansion and find that Lecia was eating breakfast,

'' Hey, I wanted to wait for you... but I was hungry.'', Lecia says her mouth filled with egg sandwich.

The egg sandwich reminded me of certain incidents but I cast that thought aside as I sit next to Lecia and ask her with a smile on my face,

'' You ready for the movie ?''

~~~~

We were in our car right now, heading towards the theatre.

Lecia and I talk about random stuff until the car stops and we both get out.

We had already bought the tickets online, so we just had to go inside.

But when watching a movie, however boring it may be, having popcorn was a must. So we wait in queue for the popcorn. I buy two extra large caramel popcorn and two large PepsO as well.

Why?

Cause I'm rich as fuck.

Today is all about, relaxing. I'm gonna forget all about the school, the murders and the stupid fucking plot. Everything. Just relaxation.

Thinking this, the both of us try to get inside the theatre, but someone calls out my name before we can.

'' Adam ?''

A familiar voice.

I turn around to find Eric and a young girl with curious eyes standing next to him.

Well... shit.

I may have spoken too soon.
