The Riddler (Completed)

RIDDLE I: LET'S PLAY A GAME

I'm on my way to work when I saw a group of students in a lonesome alley circling a guy, one of their schoolmate I believe. This is not new to me, I decided to help that boy and as I was walking towards them, adrenaline started to rush through my veins.

"Let him go." They all look at me with a smudge face. We exchange death stares for a while which I doubt that I would lose. Minutes passed and we're still staring at each other and that irritates me. In a snap, I was able to grab the head of the closest guy and smashed it to the bricked wall near me and blood started to run out of his head. They were shocked and I can see fear on their eyes because they know that the only way out is through me.

"Aahhh!" They scream as they run towards me but how unfortunate of them. No one's leaving this alley alive except me, yes only me. They will all die, including that guy 😈

"You're late Mr. Kessler Alv." He said while I was holding on to my knees, breathing heavily as I was trying to catch my breath. "Stay outside and meet me at the faculty room after my class."

"Ye-- yes Sir, I'm sorry." He just nodded as a response and I can hear him having his lesson while I'm here outside, standing at this lonely corridor. "Another day, another late." I mumbled as I kick the floor, this is not the first time that I was late, I just can't help being late for there are things I really need to do. Suddenly, silence covered the whole room behind me. They must be having a quiz and such. It's getting a little cold here outside, big grey clouds started to form up the sky and not a minute pass, rain started to pour down. I didn't even notice that I was already reaching out my hand and's now getting wet.

"Enjoying the moment?" I was taken aback when I heard someone talked behind me. He then stood beside me and looked up in the sky. "Dark grey skies in our shallow eyes will soon just vanish like our desires." And just like magic, the sky started to clear up and the sun shines like it never shined before. "See?" He look at me and smile. "Follow me." Yeah, I almost forgot. We need to talk about my lates and probably my absences too since I think it's already off the chart, sigh.

"You need to make up for the lates and absences you have Mr. Alv, you understand?" I just nodded as an answer. Guess I'm lucky that it's just the two of us here inside the faculty room. It's quite creepy actually but this is way better than having other teachers hear about this stuff.

"What should I do then Sir to make up for it?" I asked with my head down. I don't wanna look at him directly 'cause he always give me the chills down to my spine.

"Starting tomorrow, you shouldn't be late and more importantly you should not be absent. Okay?" I just nodded again. "Also, give me passing scores on all the quizzes and exams moving forward."

"Yes Sir."

"Okay, you may go." I stood up and walked out of the faculty room. It just feels like it's a different room when I was there. Actually, he talked to me all the time with his right hand on his face, eyes closed as he played with two dices on his left hand. I know that it's not really that surprising but it seems new to me, ugh nevermind. I should just focus on my problem and I hope that this time I'll make it right.

"Hmm? What the?" I stopped for a while when I felt that there's something behind my backpocket. I immediately grab it and it's uhm-- a card. At first I thought there's nothing written on it but when I flipped it there was something, saying ...

"Let's play a game."
