Arlo was sitting down in the library doing his homework. It was nice and quiet, which was hard to come by these days.

"Arlo!" Well, it was quiet. It was one of the first years.

'What now?'

"Did you hear? That new kid beat up John!"

"What!!??"




John woke up to bright lights above his head. He sat himself up only to be met with the innocent face of Mori Dan. Bolting his head away, he shouted, "What are you doing here!"

"I brought you here."

"What?"

"I hit you pretty hard, so I brought you to the infirmary. Also, some of your friends came by to say hi!"

Looking in the lobby Sera, Isen, Blyke, and Remi were sitting there. Other than Isen, none of them were nervous.

Sera walked up to John, "I was wondering when would be the next time we meet up. Didn't think it would be you in the infirmary."

"Shut up."

"Why should I? John, I really want to talk to you. What happened to the old John? The one who would spend every day with me?"

"He died when Arlo broke the last straw."

"John. Every high tier in this room learned their lesson. What more do you want? People are now actually doing something to get rid of the violence in this school."

He was silent.

Now Remi said, "John, if you want to help people, you should join us at the safe house. I know this hierarchy is stupid, but sitting at the top isn't going to do anything, and sending Zeke to attack us isn't either."

"..."

"Well, we'll leave you now. Maybe you'll help us one day make this school safe."




Upon exiting the building, they find Arlo walking toward them.

"Is it true? That the new kid beat John?"

"You better believe I did!"

"Arlo, what are you doing here?" asked Blyke.

"So it's true. I hope to work well with you." And just like that, he left.

"What does he mean by that?"

"You beat John, so that makes you the new king of Wellston."

"But I don't want to be king, I not much of a person who should make the rules. Wouldn't it be better if everyone decided who should be in charge?"

"That isn't how the world works."

"It should be."

"Hey, since you won, you want to go by the boba shop?"

"Ok!"



"Wait, really!"
