The following day at Nevermore, Lorenzo, Enid, and Wednesday embarked on their quest to find the enigmatic boys who were causing Lorenzo a great deal of stress and anger. As they entered the classroom, the two boys unexpectedly walked in. The teacher glanced up at the students and introduced the newcomers to the class.

"Everyone, please give a warm welcome to our new students joining us in history class today," the teacher announced. After scanning the class, he gestured towards the boys.

"Please introduce yourselves and find a seat. There's one next to Lorenzo and another two rows behind him."

The smaller boy, Jason Bordeaux, stepped forward to speak on behalf of himself and his quieter brother, Pierre.

"I'm Jason Bordeaux, and this is my younger brother, Pierre Bordeaux. He prefers to stay quiet, so direct any questions to me. Thank you for letting us participate in today's lesson," Jason said before guiding Pierre to the seat behind Lorenzo.

"Hey there, I'm Jason, not Jay or anything else, just Jason. And you must be Lorenzo," Jason greeted Lorenzo.

"Correct," Lorenzo replied curtly. Jason noticed the anger in Lorenzo's eyes, masking a deeper fear.

"What happened to those blue eyes of yours, mate? They seemed to vanish after your encounter with my brother a few days ago. And by the way, I tried looking up the Parkers but couldn't find much. Are they still around? Are they..."

Before Jason could finish, Lorenzo abruptly left the classroom, slamming the door behind him. As Jason signaled for Pierre to follow.

Lorenzo headed to the Quad, visibly agitated. To his surprise, Pierre appeared before him once more. As tension escalated, Lorenzo drew his switchblade and plunged it into his chest, falling to the ground. But as Pierre approached, Lorenzo rose with his signature blue eyes glowing. Lorenzo began his transformation as Pierre followed suite. No longer stood Lorenzo, but a beast that killed hunters, a beast that killed the infamous Hyde, a beast known as The Lone Wolf and opposite him was no longer Pierre but now stood The Reaper.

The two beings engaged in a fierce battle, their roars echoing through the school as students gathered to watch. Enid, Wednesday, and Jason joined the spectators. Jason realised he had mistaken Lorenzo for someone else.

"This is not the right person! Do you know this Lorenzo?" Jason asked the girls, who confirmed that they did in fact know Lorenzo.

"We need to stop this fight; he's not the enemy we anticipated," Jason urged, prompting the trio to intervene. Enid calmed Lorenzo while Wednesday and Jason tried to restrain him. Jason then used his fiery abilities to create a barrier between the warring creatures.

With the creatures separated, Pierre reverted to his human form, and Lorenzo seized the chance to flee into the forest. Enid pursued him, aware of his likely destination.

"Now, you two have some explaining to do," Wednesday told Jason and Pierre, leading them to a private spot to unravel what had just happened and to find out who the real enemy is.
