The Cheat Seed

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*

*Flash*

There was only a Flash and a whistle as Dave disappeared from the centre. The crowd was left awestruck as the cheers increased.

Marcus stopped inside their class 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 place (even though the furniture was new, they sat right on that place 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 gladly 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..The last one hurt"

......

The crowd outside had cooled down and the teachers were ordering them. They formed lines according to classes 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 Class 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 platform 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 platform and Professor Jules stepped on it. She stood beside him on the floor and maintained a straight face. She ran her eyes through the classroom 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 glasses. A Wimpy, Frail looking boy who depended on his only friend.

But now!!. That previous boy she knew and ignored had completely vanished. Marcus's mouth turned into a flashy 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 balance as Marcus spoke inside her mind.

Her eyes were back on his again. They seemed to hypnotize her....Her thoughts fell into something black 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 Glasses 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 glasses shouted out that he was nervous. Whuch meant something unpleasant was going to come 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"

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 Class representative during their days. He was well built and tall. Marcus stared at his Black short trimmed hair and Glasses.

(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" Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

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"
