Lora dragged Xero behind and found her way down to the Red Class. She paused outside and tried to see if she could pin point Xero’s friend. She could make out his face. It wasn’t hard to memorise his odd shake of face and his short height.
She stared inside the classroom but she couldn’t see him. The class was a complete chaos. Some boys were bullying a set of boys. She noticed that they level 4s and 5s. The victims were the level 1s and 2s.
"Hi pretty." She heard a voice from behind her and she jilted in shock. She turned and it was Dennis who was standing behind her.
"Sorry. Who are you looking for? And why are carrying him behind your back? Is he some sort of..." Dennis said and paused.
"I’m looking for his roommate and he is just my classmate." Lora said almost defensively. Dennis smiled lightly.
"I’m his roommate."
"Seriously? I just need someone to take him to the dorms." Lora said as she broke the ice carrier under Xero’s feet .
"Well I am Xero’s roommate. Could you give him to take to our room?" Dennis said and collected Xero from her.
"Okay. Thank you mister." Lora said as she pushed Xero over to him. Dennis smiled and carried him over his shoulder.
’I’ve seen him before. Wasn’t he the one with the Voice Amplification skill. How the hell is he Xero’s roommate?’ Lora thought as she stared at him.
She wanted to retrieve Xero but Dennis seemed nice and he had an easy going mindset apart from in the battlefield. She smiled at him.
"Okay. I will get going. I’m Dennis by the way." He said and dashed out.
Lora stared at him before getting back her class. Little did she know that she had made a mistake that would haunt her.

Dennis got the boys dorm ready to set Xero in their room but he stopped at the entrance gate. He looked back and noticed that no one was noticing them.
He changed his movement, and began to walk towards the library. He walked on until he walked past the library to get into the University Forest.
Upon getting there, there were two guards standing at the entrance. He smirked lightly and walked towards them. The guards saw him and activate a barrier to stop them from gaining entrance.
"Please sir, my friend is ill and I need to get produce a pill to help him. I need to get in to get a particular ingredient." He explained to them. The two guards didn’t even move. They just stared onto the thin air.
"Come on. I have to get him these." Dennis blurted getting annoyed at their non responsive nature.
The security had tightened with the frequent activities of the cultists in the school. They usually took hold of lonely spots in the school and their activities were rising in the premises.
"Go to the School Clinic or Hospital." One of the guards said.
"Now leave here immediately. We know your kind."
Dennis stared at him for before smirking widely. His eyes glinted with an arua of darkness. The guards stared at him and in that instant they thought him to be a threat.
They both drew their swords and dashed towards him. He smiled faintly before he took a step and in that instant he was standing behind them.
"What the... how did he get there?" The first guard said turning around.
The second guard slammed his sword against but Dennis faded away like dust and appeared behind him. The gaurd freaked out before slamming his fist against Dennis but he vanished again appeared right behind him.
"It seems your ability allows to teleport. What a useless ability. I will get you." The first guard said and dashed forward, his sword striking against the ground and forcing a round of sparks and in an instant, a blue flame cloaked over his sword.
Dennis smiled. He knew the guards will have abilities but he wasn’t sure this was an ability. It seemed like a demon craft and if that was so, he would be able to take them down easier.
He put Xero on the ground and dashed towards the first guard and in an instant, their forces clashed loudly against each other.
The guard slammed the sword at Dennis forcing him to redress his steps. Then he pushed forward and shot a beam of blue fire at Dennis but he dodged it. The attack hit the second guard and it knocked him out.
Dennis dashed towards the first guard and when he got close, he teleported behind him and drove his leg to strike against his rib cage. The guard staggered before coughing blood.
"What’s that now. Come on I have to make this snappy." Dennis said and smiled.
Then he walked over to him and kicked him again at the face. The guard slammed against the wall behind him. Dennis smiled as he walked closer.
"Damn these children." He cursed before standing up but Dennis was already in action.
He tried to him (the first guard) but the guard stroke him with his sword. Dennis vanished and appeared by side almost simultaneously. With such speed, he redirected his kick at him before slamming him in the head with his knuckles.
The guard fell flat on the floor unable to move his body. Dennis looked behind to see that the second guard was still flat on the floor.
"Guess I have to make use of their bodies." He said and grabbed both of them and teleported them to the refectory.
"What a boring fight." Dennis complained before returning back to the Forest.
He walked towards Xero but he noticed that Xero was on his feet now. He smirked widely.
"Good to see you are awake. Now I don’t have to bother about transporting you." Dennis said smiling widely as he came closer.
"Dennis where am I? Where are we?" Xero asked as he looked around the environment.
"University Forest. Come on let’s have a tour around."
"Now I will ask you, why are we here? What are your plans?"
"Hmm. You are smarter than your level speaks. I like you. Come on we are going to be good friends."
Xero stared at him and tightened his fists. He felt this was off. It was a bad omen.
