Unordinary Fanfic

Chapter 9

Next day

In School
John's POV:

I woke up this morning, got readied and waited for Blyke so we could head to school together. We met up with Isen. Then Remi and Sera. We went to school together and because of that, I didn't get harassed or attacked. When we reached to the school entrance, everyone seemed to be avoiding us.

'Hm? Why are so many people avoiding us?' I thought.

We saw that there was a lot of people at a certain place. If I am correct, that would be the school notice board. The same board which exposed Sera in my past timeline.

'But Sera didn't lose her ability this time. So what's the fuss...' I thought, then it struck me. 'My Ability?'

I went to the school notice board and when people saw me, they immediately moved out of the way, mostly because of fear. I walked to see on the board, there were photos of me crushing Zeke and his goon, with my clearly glowing eyes. It is as clear as day, I have been exposed.

"John... You alright??" Remi says with worry.

"Yeah, I am fine. I would have been found out later anyways..." I replied.

'Well, I have an idea who it is.' I thought.

I started walking away from everyone else and I headed for the Newspaper room.

I opened the door and everyone looked at me. Then they started blabbering. In front of me, I can see Cecile.

"So King, what are you doing in the Newspaper club?" She asked.

"I'll be honest, Cecile, you are annoying. Don't call me King" I said to Cecile.

"So you're not denying you have an ability?"

"It was going to come out anyways."

And then Sera, Remi, Blyke and Isen caught up and came through the door to see that Cecile and I are talking.

"I'll be honest Cecile, if you think you can use me. You're wrong." I said to Cecile.

"Don't get so arrogant, I was never gonna ask you for help." She hit back.

"Really? Even if Arlo is making you his puppet?"

Which this phrase shocked everyone in the room.

"And what are your proofs? Otherwise you're just slander." Cecile calmly said even though it was clear that I got under her skin.

'Actually, I only found this out recently. When I saw Arlo walked into the Newspaper room, I decided to eavesdrop. The tyrannical rule of Arlo was pretty strong.'

"Well, let's just say that I might or might not have eavesdropped on you guys." I said. "You were probably thinking that by exposing me, you would get a new king, demote Arlo to Jack and have control over information flow. Right?" I continued.

Cecile was already sweating and looked pissed as fuuuuuck.

'Heh heh, the thing was I had to draw the dots by multiple eavesdropping and tons of time gone. Wasn't even going to use this against Cecile but hey, two birds one stone'

"Well, you were too short-sighted Cecile. In fact, you only messed this up for yourself. Now, not only will I not help you, but"

As if on cue, Arlo opened the door, clearly upset.

"Oh hey Arlo! Perfect timing!" I said.

Which to Arlo glared at me for a second. Then focuses his surroundings. Then says "Continue".

"Alright then. As I was saying. Not only will I not help you, but Arlo is gonna be pissed about about that. Weren't you supposed to talk with Arlo involving anything about the royals? You didn't even know my ability level and you decided to title the news 'NEW KING'" I said.

"Well of course, not many people could beat Zeke and one more person with as much ease as you. Plus, from what I saw in the recording, you can copy abilities and it seems to be a stronger version as well." She said.

"Also, I wouldn't be angry about it, John. You see, the press team is not my concern. Your exposé would be your fault not mine. I was just coming here to scold Cecile for not talking with me first" Arlo said.

"Yeah, I know that it's true. Hey Seraphina." I said.

"Hm?" I got Sera's attention.

"You said that you chose Blyke over Cecile for Jack because Cecile was secretive and untrustworthy. Right?"

"Yeah, why you asking?"

"Well, using that logic, shouldn't Cecile also be untrustworthy for the control of the Press Team?"

"Yeah, I suppose. So what do you want to do?"

"I suggest we replace Cecile with... Isen!"

"What?!" Isen and Cecile said.

"Oh yeah, Cecile cannot publish any articles ever again. Is that alright?"

"Yeah, sure." Sera said.

"Wait, you can't be serious." Cecile said.

"Nope, totally serious. What about you Arlo? What do you think?" I said.

"Whatever you want." He said.

"Alright it's settled, Isen, you're the head of the Press team. Cecile, you're out." I said.

At this point, Cecile was pissed. She was silent. Then I felt her ability activated. I immediately copied it and tied her up. Which now completely proved that I indeed have an ability for everyone in the room.

"You were going to attack me, weren't you? I suggest you don't since you would have ended up like Zeke." I said.

She is still silent, but I could tell the moment I put my guard down, she will attack me.

"Seems like I have to show you my strength. Go out to the courtyard. We will battle it out. If you win, you get to keep yourself as the head of the Press team." I said.

I walked out and released the ropes around Cecile with everyone shocked and confused. Sera and the others followed me.

"Yoo, dude that was soo cool!" Blyke said.

"Heh, yeah, I never expected John to look cool like that." Sera jokingly said.

While we were walking, an barrier appeared in front of us. Which surprised us and we all bumped into the barrier.

"What the-" Said Isen before abruptly realizing something.

We turned around to see Arlo.

Now this had happened suddenly in the hallways and Arlo's barrier is pretty noticeable. So it got the attention of most of the school.

"What is it Arlo?" I said.

"I want to have a talk in private." Arlo said.

Which of course got everyone to start talking.

"Sure." I said.

Which got Sera and the others surprised.

"Wait, you're alright with this?" Remi said.

"Yup." I said.

"Then let us come with you." Remi said.

"Sorry but I want to have a one-to-one talk with John." Arlo said.

"Alright then" I said before Remi could protest.

Arlo put down the barrier and he started to walk away. To which I follow him.
