Chapter 25: Sensei Josh
"Class, we have a celebrity among us," the sensei announced upon spotting Silas. "I heard what you did to my son, Griswold," he added, his face flushing with visible anger.
All heads immediately turned to face Silas at the sensei's words, and all of them glared at him with unhidden disdain.
The sensei, a towering man with bulky muscles and short blonde hair, walked with purposeful strides toward Silas and came to a stop directly in front of him.
"I heard about what happened in the cafeteria, Silas. What you did to my son and his friends—I heard every detail." Sensei Josh's voice was filled with suppressed fury.
Silas remained standing in silence, maintaining a calm and unflinching expression on his face.
"What exactly did you hope to achieve by consuming illegal Energy Pills? Tell me, are you so tired of being worthless trash that you thought the pills could magically make you important?" Sensei Josh sneered, his face bright red with barely contained rage.
Since taking Energy Pills makes a person dangerously aggressive, the government had placed an outright ban on them, making them an illegal substance. Anyone caught using them would face a hefty fine of a million Tokens or be thrown into the notorious Jingling Bars.
Silas could have easily been sent to the Jingling Bars since everyone suspected him of using the energy pills, but with no solid evidence, there was nothing they could do to him.
"You're fortunate that I've been instructed not to lay a hand on you, Silas. And you're doubly fortunate we couldn't find any evidence that you took an energy pill this morning," Sensei Josh continued, his eyes narrowing with suspicion.
Silas, who had remained silent throughout the entire ordeal, decided to respond, "What makes you so certain I consumed an energy pill, sensei?" His tone was calm, yet carried a weight of seriousness.
Sensei Josh nearly burst out laughing at Silas's question. "There's no possible way that a piece of trash like you could take on three Grade 3 mutant ability users without some sort of illegal steroid. Everyone knows what an energy pill does to someone as useless as you, so it's obvious you took one."
"Or maybe your son and his minions were just too weak and lost to a piece of trash like me?" Silas remarked, a mischievous smirk forming on his lips, which only caused Sensei Josh's blood to boil in anger.
What the sensei wanted more than anything at that moment was to grab Silas and beat him into a pulp, but he had received strict orders from Kara just moments ago not to lay a hand on Silas.
Sensei Josh was left baffled by Kara's command. He couldn't fathom why she suddenly seemed to care about Silas, but he had no choice but to obey without question. After all, disobeying her would result in disastrous consequences.
"Are you sure you want to fight me, even after all the rumors?" Silas asked, scratching his spiky hair.
"What rumors?" Angelica responded, her expression unchanged.
"Rumors about me using energy pills and all that," Silas clarified.
"Are the rumors true?" Angelica asked, her expression still neutral.
"What? No, of course not!" Silas shook his head vigorously, denying the claim.
"Then there's nothing to worry about," Angelica replied matter-of-factly.
Silas nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked closer to the raised platform.
On the platform, two students were already facing off. One wielded a Grade 3 katana, while the other, a scrawny boy, held two short mutant daggers.
As Silas watched the fight from the side, a notification screen suddenly appeared in front of him:
[Consume a soul to restore soul points.]
[5 soul points will be deducted every hour until a soul is consumed.]
[Soul points: 20/100]
