Chapter 57
"MARCUS!!!!!!!"
..............
Dave shouted but the overcrowding students gave him no ears and instead kep on inching towards
him.
He caught Marcus mutter something, his lips moved silently but Dave concentrated and understood
what he lipped.
''Want my help?..''
Dave didn''t waste his time.
"YES!!!"
*Blink*
*sh*
There was only a sh and a whistle as Dave disappeared from the centre. The crowd was left
awestruck as the cheers increased.
Marcus stopped inside their ss and Dave fell down on his knees.
"Don''t you dare....Go that fast."
*Cough*
Marcus snickered at his friend. He slowly walked over to the bench in the middle and sat down on the
chair.
Dave was on his limit as he stood up to scold his friend. But he stopped when Marcus said.
"You remember bruv??. Those times"
His eyes were shining as Marcus smiled at Dave. His handsome smile worked immediately as the
anger vanished from Dave''s face.
Dave was reminiscing too. He remembered sitting in the same ce (even though the furniture was
new, they sat right on that ce during their time.) and remembered his time with short, wimpy Marcus.
"Those were the best"
Dave replied with a chuckle. He walked towards the bench and sat beside Marcus who was swinging to
and fro on the chair leg as he replied.
"Yep"
The Room was silent for a minute until Dave muttered.
"It was you..Wasn''t it?"
"Wha...."
Marcus looked at him, confused. But shook his head and smirked when he saw the serious look on his
friend''s face.
"Yes"
"Ok.."
The Room was silent yet again. Dave was again the one to slice the tension.
"When did you get a Body Enhancer skill?"
"It isn''t a body enhancer."
"Then what was that Human..Demon??"
"Listen Dave..It''s a long story..In short, I got it when I defeated that God"
"Ah..Makes sense. But what happened today??"
"Another God attack..Two of them"
"And.....You utterly destroyed them"
"...Yeah..typa''h"
"Hmmm.."
"Hmmm..."
Another round of silence engulfed the room. And right after a minute Dave broke the silence the 3rd
time.
"THEN FUCKER WHY''D YOU TRAP ME IN THERE!!!"
Dave smacked Marcus''s head in the back and Marcus dly received it. The smack was something he
missed.
"Hehe...I am sorry man"
"FUCK YOU!!!. YOU LEFT ME IN THE STREETS TOO"
Dave smacked again and it connected pretty well with his head too.
"Hey....KEKEKEKEK I said am sorry"
*SILENCE*
"Hell No, I am not done yet"
*SMACK*
*SMACK*
*SMACK*
"Ow..Thest one hurt"
......
The crowd outside had cooled down and the teachers were ordering them. They formed lines
ording to sses but the Alumni walked inside talking to each other. They didn''t have the obligation
to follow the strict rules of the Academy anymore.
And soon the ss was live again and everyone forgot about Marcus''s introduction instead they were
peering at Dave who made an annoyed face and sat grumpily on his white plywood chair.
Miss Sylvie was the first one to enter through the door, Professor Jules followed.
She walked over to the elevated tform and stepped on it carefully. Professor Jules stood on the floor
beside her, smiling at them.
"It''s been almost 2 years since I saw you guys!! Look at you now!!! all grown up and ready for their first
mission!!"
Her words came out pleasantly and genuinely as her eyes met Marcus''s deep green pupils but her left
just as they connected.
The previous students seemed to smile and chuckle at her words. Gabriel was annoyed as usual. He
had started to think that it was a waste of time to be there after Dave''s performance....or as they
thought.
"So without further ado let''s move on to why we called you guys today.."
The atmosphere became tense and the room went silent as Miss Sylvie finished her words.
"Professor Jules.."
Miss Sylvie stepped down from the tform and Professor Jules stepped on it. She stood beside him
on the floor and maintained a straight face. She ran her eyes through the ssroom and remembered
each and every face until she reached Marcus.
She felt her eyes were deceiving her as she looked at The Young Man. She clearly remembered how
he looked before, with the bangs and sses. A Wimpy, Frail looking boy who depended on his only
friend.
But now!!. That previous boy she knew and ignored hadpletely vanished. Marcus''s mouth turned
into a shy smirk as his eyes slowly shifted from Professor Jules to her pink pupils.
The Sharp look he gave her sent a chill down her spine as she trembled. She quickly ran her eyes over
to the other side.
''What a Monster''
Her mind chimed.
''I know right''
Her eyes shot up and her body almost lost bnce as Marcus spoke inside her mind.
Her eyes were back on his again. They seemed to hypnotize her....Her thoughts fell into something
ck which seemed like a void.
"Ehem..Miss Sylvie??"
Professor Jules beoke the silence as he looked at her and gave her a frown which seemed to ask
''What happened?''
"Oh...Ah Sorry.. Please Continue"
She shook her head and replied. Her eyes met the ground this time and she forced them to stay the
same way.
After giving her a furrowed look
"So Young ones...I''ll not beat around the bush and get right into the matter."
Professor Jules''s raspy voice echoed inside the silent room. His sses bobbed as he spoke.
After giving the Alumni a look he opened his mouth to say something. But the way he rubbed his hands
and readied his sses shouted out that he was nervous. Whuch meant something unpleasant was
going toe out.
"Go On Old Man. Don''t Hesitate, I know what you are gonna tell. Don''t waste my time"
Gabriel chimed, annoyance crystal clear in his voice.
"All I am waiting for is to see their faces"
Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
Gabriel smirked and stared at Marcus and shifted his eyes to Dave.
"Ah..Right...I''ll say it then"
Professor Jules shook his head as he hesitated.
"You all know about the SC ranked Dungeon right??. The Nine tailed Demon Fox Dungeon?"
"Yea. What about that?"
Michael Rorark asked.
Michael was the ss representative during their days. He was well built and tall. Marcus stared at his
ck short trimmed hair and sses.
(Remember him??. He awakened an Unique seed during the Awakening Test)
He was pretty sure Michael was a Mage as he spotted a Mage Tattoo on his right wrist. The Tattoo
which showed that he worked for the King.
"Michael, I know you guys are annoyed, but this news is very hard for me to break too"
Professor Jules took in a deep breath and closed his eyes.
*Bang*
The Professor banged the table beside him and shouted with his eyes closed
"WE GOT REPORTS FROM THE PATROL"
He paused and opened his eyes. They were silently listening to him.
His shoulders drooped. His eyes welled.
"The Time limit .. for the Dungeon Break .. it changed to 2 days"
