Chapter 39

Lunox's Point of View

They're still praising me. They keep on following me wherever I go and this is getting annoying. "Such a pests," I mumbled. "S-She called us pests!" Someone shouted. "I changed my mind. You're a bunch of weirdos," I stated. What mess did I get into?

There's someone missing. I searched for him yet I can't find him. Maybe he took a stroll to the woods. Well, it's none of my business. That kid can handle himself.

Then, I saw Roger walking back and front. "The king of the weirdos," I whispered and approached him. "What happened?" I asked. He stopped walking and looked at the people around me. "You've become a celebrity after you've taken them down by yourself," he said and laughed. I stared back the people behind me. "Scram," I said. They gave me a questioning look. "Don't wait until I get mad. I'm talking to you nicely. I said scram," I said in a calm tone. They suddenly left one by one. Good. At least they knew when to leave and stay.

Now, I focused my attention to Roger. "Tense? Worried?" I asked. He goes back to walk back and front. "Can you stop walking! You're making me dizzy," I said. "I'm sorry. When I'm nervous, this is my coping mechanism. Calvin's not here yet! We have discussed that he shall meet them but he must go back in the camp early," he said. This is the first time I have seen him nervous. Most of the time, he's always smiling. I thought he's a carefree person but he has someone he cares and that is Calvin.

I should have known. The way he treats him is like the way uncle treats me. They're very irritating but they're nice people. I hope uncle isn't a part of this. If he is, I don't know what will I do to him. I have treated him as my second father.

"He'll be just fine. That kid is strong and he got this," I pointed my temple. "Hair?" I rolled my eyes. "Idiot! He uses his intelligence which you don't have at all! If he's stuck or cornered, he'll think of a way to escape because he's a wise person. You don't have to worry," I said trying to calm him. But I'm also worried, he's still a kid. I have found out that he's the youngest among all of us here. Apparently, he didn't attend preschool. He started going to school at Grade 1.

"He's here!" Roger yelled. He ran. Then, Calvin appeared.

"Why is he beaten up?" I murmured. He got bruises all over his body but there's no major injuries. He can heal in no time.

I approached him.

"What happened to you, kiddo? Did you get bullied?" I teased him. "And, who did you meet?" I added.

"I met the other group. The group who kills," he said. I have found them at last.

My mission is to find Roger, save the good people, and kill the bad people.

"I tried to make an agreement but they rejected me and spoke ill of Roger so I punched their spokesperson. As a result, they beaten me up but I escaped. I'm sorry, Roger, I think they'll invade us sooner or later. They want us to surrender ourselves because we didn't follow him. We are traitors," he explained. "They even tried to threaten me! By the time, I go back. The camp was already destroyed and burned. That is what they've said to me," he said.

"Yet I already know that their plan will fail because we have her on our side," he said and glanced at me. I showed my nails and pretended to blow it.

"It already comes to this. I've expected we'll fight them but I didn't think it will be soon. This fight will settle our scores to them. Who is stronger? Mightier? Is it them or us?" Roger asked.

"We were divided into two groups. The mastermind doesn't know this. We plan this ourselves and came up to an agreement. One group that agrees to follow his command and kill the opponents without mercy and one group who will not mess with the other group but they'll survive the killings. However, it didn't go according to plan. It's funny. We are classmates yet we're killing each other and the word kill isn't something you laugh about. Life is precious. We shouldn't be the one to decide a person's death. That guy! Mask Man! He ruined everything!" Calvin explained.

"Calm down first, Calvin," said Roger. "Also, call all of them. I'll make an announcement," he added. Calvin nodded.

We were gathered in one place and Roger is standing at the middle.

"Tonight," he's starting. "Tonight, is the time we've all been waiting for. We'll fight them! They'll invade us tonight so prepare yourselves. We have all the equipment's we needed for the fight. Let's show them that what they're doing is wrong! What will they gain if they take someone's life? Nothing! Killing someone doesn't make you stronger. It doesn't measure your power. All I want is my normal life to be back. When Mask Man didn't show up, we were all happy and we can do the things that we want! They were just blinded and manipulated. Now, it is the time. Let's wake them up and tell them to reflect on their actions!"

"Many students were killed. What's worse is the people who died is mostly our juniors. We should serve as their role model. We should protect them but we did the opposite. We failed them. We wanted to stop this chaos from happening but nothing happened. They didn't listen to us. Not only our juniors who have been killed and suffered but also our fellow classmates. However, I didn't regret that I have met you. I have gained trustworthy friends whom I can count on when things got bad. The trustworthy friends I'm pertaining is each one of you who stood by my side today," he said. After his long speech, they prepared for the battle tonight. They bring out their weapons. There are swords, knives, bats, spears, and even bombs. I got the upper hand in here because Moonlit can transformed to any weapons I wished.

"Twilight," he called. I looked at him. "Don't meddle in this fight," he said. Oho. I nodded. "Sure, no problem. Win the battle," I said. "And, no one should die tonight. You know what I mean? It will be difficult. The group you'll be fighting has already been killed someone and they'll crave for more. I won't meddle except when it's needed," I replied.

"Thank you. We will not lose. You're underestimating us, Twilight. Watch and see for yourself," he said. I smirked. I have seen Roger's abilities and I can tell that he's experienced. He deserves to be the leader. No wonder many believes in him. Also, I'm curious of the other group. I wonder how great their abilities are. I'm looking forward to it.

The remaining students of Class B Grade 10 will not join the fight. That is Roger's order. Roger saved some of the students of Class B Grade 10. He kept them in the camp. The students of Class B Grade 10 who's still alive is about fifteen. These fifteen students are the survivors. Fifteen out of forty who is still alive. This Intramurals Sport turned into a tragedy. They are traumatized for certain. A memory that they will not forget. However, in my case, this is what I've been waiting for. I like what's happening because I can feel that I'm close to reach my one and only goal. That is to get my hands at Mask Man.

I won't let this opportunity passed by. Wait for me, Mask Man. I'll come for you next...
