Chapter 61: Scene

Then he felt one wasn't enough, he gave him three more and prayed in his heart that he should be okay.

When Alex gave him the healing pill. It had turned into an excessive amount of healforce energy. The poison wasn't able to wreak havoc in Jake's body. It action became restrained.

Then when the the poison-removing pills entered his body, they fought the poison in his system and pushed them out of his body.

They came out through his pores and where dark black in colour. Seeing that the poisonous substance was being ejected out of his Jake's body, Alex's heart slowly calmed.

He waited for a while. When he saw no more black substance was coming out

Then he fed Jake a vitality pill. He also felt one wasn't enough, he gave him another. This turned to overwhelming amounts of vitalforce energy in Jake's body and his vitality began to return.

Alex sat beside him and prayed for Jake in his heart.

After a while, Jake's eyes snapped open. He looked at himself and at the mess he created on the floor.

He looked at Alex and realized it was Alex who had brought him back to life. His eyes glistened as tears welled up in them.

He stood up and told Alex "Thank you"

"No need for thanks" Alex said. Then he stood from where he sat on the ground.

Then their eyes turned evil. Alex looked at him and asked "Did you see their faces?" he asked.

"I did" Jake replied.

"It's just we don't know who they are." Alex said.

"I know who they are. I have seen them in my class before. They are also in the condensation stage. We have classes together in the same lecture block" Jake replied.

Alex's eyes shone. "Good. How many of them did you see?" he asked.

"There were five of them" Jake replied.

Alex nodded. "Let's go for our classes. They would be shocked to see you in the hall" Alex said.

Jake nodded.

As they had turned brothers-in-arms. They now quite understand each other. What surfaced in Alex's mind appeared in Jake's mind.

Alex looked at the time and saw he was already fifteen minutes late for class.

"Again?" he roared in his mind.

Those bastards. He cursed in his mind.

Then they set our together to their respective lecture blocks.

When Alex got to his, the instructor was already in and was teaching.

Alex shook his head. Then he mustered confidence.

He opened the door and walked in.

The instant he did, everyone's head turned to see who was just coming in by this time and they saw Alex.

Their mouth became wide open in surprise. This guy again? Why is he trying so hard to be popular? For what end? He just wants to be popular in the academy so badly. So they felt.

Alex couldn't be bothered with their gazes. He greeted the instructor.

The man looked at him and asked. "You came late today again. What's the reason?"

Alex quickly said. "I had come before. You could ask them. A few of them saw me this morning. But I quickly hurried back to do something which took my time or I would have been back before class started."

"Hmm. Is it true what he says?" he thought then asked everyone that were seated.

A few good souls stood and said they saw Alex come to the hall this morning and that he left hurriedly to go do something, just as he had said.

The instructor then turned to face Alex." I am curious. What's it you went to do?" He asked.

"I was called by instructor Jennifer. She asked me to come to do something for her" He replied.

At the mention of Jennifer's name. His eyes widened and so did the eyes of the student.

What a lucky bastard. He gets to meet and talk with the most beautiful lady in our world.

The boys said in a cursing tone in their heart.

They wished they were the one in his place. They believed anytime they would be around her, all their problems, worries would vanish and be replaced by incomparable beauty and joy which would fill the void in their hearts.

"Okay. Go to your seat" the instructor said.

Then Alex went to seat and the instructor resumed his lecture.

The instructor was the same person that thought them yesterday on general knowledge. Each subjects had a permanent teacher for them.

...

When Jake entered, the boys who were jotting down a thing or two into their book as lecture went on and were smiling from ear to ear as they would soon receive the reward that instructor Micah promised them became deeply shocked when they saw Jake.

"He didn't die?" the boys' minds trembled. This was a great problem.

Trouble was coming their way.

Then they decided that after class they would go meet him and blow the powder in his face again. They still had some left.

After class ended for the day, everyone left the hall. Jake did too as well as the boys.

When Jake came out of the hall, the boys followed behind him.

Alex too had finished classes at this time and was already waiting outside. There was fury in his heart that he wanted to unleash.

The lecture block for entry stage and condensation stage were adjacent to each other.

So, immediately Jake came out, Alex who was already out saw him. He didn't do anything. He waited in his position. He wanted to see some action as some boys were behind Jake.

He saw that the hands of one of the boys had clenched into a fist. This person was holding the poison powder in his fist.

Then he saw how one of the boys called out Jake's name and the boy with the powder in his hand brought up his fist to blow the powder in Jake's face.

Then everything became slow in his eyes.

Alex saw in slow motion how the boy opened his mouth to blow out the substance held in his hand.

Then Alex's eyes turned cyan, it emitted strong cyan light.

As soon as the boy blew out the substance, Alex deployed his wind control power.

Abruptly, the air around them turned to strong gales that swept the powder away into the far distance. He did so no one would be harmed.

The boys were surprised at the unnatural event that just happened.

Just where did the fucking strong gale come from?

Then Jake who had turned to see the person who yelled his name created a scene.

"Hell! you guys again!? I survived the first one. I didn't say anything. You tried doing it again. Why the fuck are you guys bent on killing me!?" he shouted loud so everyone would hear.

The heads of everyone turned over to the place where the shout was coming from. Then their ears twitched like they didn't hear right.

Poison? A student poisoning another student?

Then Alex came over.

He looked at the boys with a blazing eyes and then he looked at Jake. "These nuts tried to kill you in the hostel!?" he asked in an angry tone.

"Yes, they did. They came to our hostel room this morning. I was coming out of the shower room when something blew in my face. Due to my quick reflexes, I held my breath so I wouldn't inhale the substance they blew in my face. But I still got some in. It tasted and felt like death. I had to swallow many higher-rank healing pills and poison-clearing pills before my internal system returned to normal. These bastards, I saw their faces. Seeing I escaped unhurt, they tried doing it again!" He shouted trying his best to make everyone hear.

"What the hell are you talking about? What poison? Are you not the one doing fine in front of all of us? Why are labeling my group as killers? Watch your mouth or your tongue could get burnt." The boy said then he tried leaving the place.

Alex looked at the boy as he tried leaving with his friends.

He could detect the boys' hearts were beating wildly but they kept a calm and innocent face like they didn't doing anything wrong.

"Bastards!! Stop right there! You aren't a killer? Bring out everything in your pocket. If you can do that I would let you go!" Alex shouted at the boy.

"Are you crazy? It's a cultivation senior you talk to in this manner? You don't have respect. I am gonna punish you" The boy shouted.

"Oh yea? You want to" Alex replied.

"Quiet!" a female voice boomed out from far.

Swoosh!

This person flew over speedily and landed before them. This was Jennifer.

Alex and the boy, Kyle by name, greeted.

"What's wrong? Why are you two creating a scene here?" she asked.

Alex said. "This bastard tried poisoning my friend."

Jennifer looked at him. "That's a very serious accusation" she said. Then she looked at Jake "Are you sure?" she asked.

"Very sure Instructor Jennifer" he replied.

Then Alex cut in. "Instructor Jennifer, tell him to bring out everything in his pocket. He still has some poison powder left I believe."

Jennifer looked at Alex and then at Kyle. "Do as he says. Bring out everything in your pockets. I have things I am doing at the moment, so don't waste my time. Quickly do what he says and everyone would be on their way" she said in a threatening tone.

The boy started trembling.

Just as he was about to put his hands into his pocket to bring out whatever was in.

He heard a shout in the distance "Stop!"
