Chapter 254: Something's Up

( Hours after the training. )

[ 14:20 ]

[ Elio Stadium, 'Prodigy Center Academy' Contestant's Dining Hall ]

" Donovan messed things up again? " Carol asks Carlos after the training, she goes into the lunch hall, approaching him during Lunch.

" Why do you ask me? " Carlos asks her back which makes Carol put her hands on her waist, giving him a demanding posture.

" Listen, nephew... " Carol says that to him.

" I know you and Donovan had that kind of competitive rivalry as such,... "

" But can you at least give me the detail on what happened back then, right after 'Coach Trainer' Principal Resha called you both? " Carol asks Carlos, making him flee his eyes from her.

* Carlos enters his food into his mouth. *

" She scolds Donovan, reminding him not to be over-aggressive... "

" I didn't hear most of it, since she talked things to Donovan right after having a chat with me, in that moment, I already left because of my hunger. "

" Don't forget, despite my 'Star Magic', I do need food. " Carlos has his bite, he eats so many today as if he changed all of a sudden than he usually was.

" Is it just me or that appetite of yours is big again? " Carol asks Carlos, making him stop.

" I realized the pattern, usually you eat like someone who goes on a freaking diet, yet suddenly, in one month, this month as usual... "

" Your appetite suddenly went apeshit and you often rarely hang out with your boys. " Carol says it which made Carlos go silent.

" What do you want? " Carlos asks her, standing up, and leaving the Dining Hall, walking away.

He walks so fast, making Carol curious, following him from behind as they both flee from the Dining Hall.

...

( Meanwhile. )

Donovan still had his meeting with Agniz, who asked him how could he copy her students' Martial Arts stance.

" I did my research and I happened to train it on secret. " Donovan tells her like that, he told Agniz he's always the 'prepared one'.

" I see, so Mr. Duncan did teach you well. " Agniz smiles.

" Perfect preparation before action, that's what he always does. "

" Even though, I often see him become rash right after he had you and your sister. "

" Daddy's instinct? I can't tell. "

" We're not here to discuss my father, didn't we? " Donovan asks, immediately asking Agniz to just cut to the chase and fill him in.

" Ever since the Tournament, from my seat, I always see you be the one who hides and strikes from the dark, especially during the Preliminaries. "

" I believe that's why you came out unscathed, despite not being like Carlos who blasts it all through. " Agniz wonders. ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

" I know my capabilities, so I planned and acted to have the utmost advantage. "

" Reasons? You should ask him yourself. " Agniz just tells that to Donovan who followed her.

"( A technique that could damage one's inner body? )"

"( That, I need to know... )"

"( I think it better suits me than standing on top of everything. )" Donovan mentions Sable's Ki ability at the moment.

...

( At the same time. )

[ Carlos & Terry's Room ]

" Terry's not here, huh? " Carlos pants, he touches his chest, panting in the dark, as he doesn't light up the room.

" The star currently struggles to sparkle, how pitiful. " a voice suddenly came from the dark, frightening him.

" Who is it? " Carlos asks, replied with silence.

" Someone you happened to meet but in a different way. " said the voice in the dark.

" Back then, Trazer was my way to speak my words, using my hold over him. "*

" You know when it happens? " the voice made Carlos think for a second.

" You!? " Carlos finally remembers which moment the voice meant, he remembered he was with Donovan in the PCA Medic Room when it happened.

" Yes, it's me. " said the voice in the dark.

" I've been watching, you know. "

" Witnessing how much you grew to be so impressive. "

" Witnessing how adaptive you are in hiding your real self, you- "

" What do you want!? " Carlos asks the voice, he raises his voice.

" Hey, hey, take it easy... "

" I don't want to hurt you... "

" I'm here to help you... "

" Since in the battle, you will probably fight the Avalon Princess, did you not? " the voice in the darkness asks Carlos, as they continue to talk in the place.
