Location- Sky Blossom City, Lion Cubs High, Teacher’s Lounge

“Excuse me, Madam. would you happen to know where class teacher Kathy is at?” I asked a middle-aged teacher who was enjoying her free period with a Coffee. Kathy, who said she would be in the teacher’s lounge, was nowhere to be seen.

“Oh, you mean the new intern Kathy Duskborn. She was called to the principal’s office a few minutes ago.” The middle-aged teacher answered.

“Thank you, Madam.” I thanked her and was about to leave but the teacher saw Cortney’s dressing and said, “Young lady, who is your class teacher and did he/she not warn about your dressing?”

“Madam, I am not a student here. I am here to apply for tomorrow’s tournament. Could you point me to where I can sign up for the tournament?” Courtney was not bothered by the middle-aged teacher’s remarks instead she politely asked for directions.

“Teacher Kathy Duskborn is incharge of the external participant sign up. Wait outside, she will be here any minute.” advised the middle-aged female teacher.

“Thank you.” Courtney politely thanked her and followed me out of the teacher’s lounge.

Instead of waiting for Kathy, I decided to head to the principal office where I could gather more info.

“Where are you going?” And of course, Cortney followed me like a chick following the hen.

“To the principal’s office.” I did not explain why just stated where.

Location- Sky Blossom City, Lion Cubs High, Principal’s office.

“Class teacher Kathy, they are Arnold Barns and Nathan Buch. They will be participating in the tournament tomorrow as external participants. Add their names to the list of participants and did you bring two Liability Waivers as I asked you to, give them to me.” Principal Andrea called Kathy to his office to have these two teenagers register for tomorrow’s tournament.

“Yes, Sir here.” Kathy passed the liability waivers to principal Andrea.

Taking the liability waivers, the principal himself filled the waiver for the two temperamental fellows next to him. Having filled the form Andrea passed a liability waiver to Arnold and Nathan each, “Here Sign your names and leave my school premises without causing trouble.”

Having said that a notification sounded in his grimoire, it was his receptionist ‘Principal, student Wyatt is here to see you. Should I stall him or send him in.’

‘Do not call his name… directly, send him in.’ Andrea responded with his thoughts but remained calm on the surface.

‘Noted’ the receptionist answered professionally.

…

As I neared the principal’s office his receptionist noticed me from afar and upon nearing her she said, “principal is waiting for you. go right ahead.”

Following the receptionist’s advice, I did not knock on the principal’s office door and entered his office directly. Of course, Cortney followed in behind me. As soon as I entered the office I felt 4 pairs of eyes on me, one of them belonged to Andrea and the only female should be class teacher Kathy. As for the other two I had no idea of.

“Student! Have a seat. I will be right with you once I am finished here.” Andrea’s polite speech while addressing me despite my rude entry to his office without a knock obviously intrigued the other three in the room. They started to widely guess my identity. I don’t know why Andrea did this but he must have his reasons and they better be good. So, I sat on the couch patiently while Cortney sat next to me.

“Your registration is complete, now roll out of my campus.” For some reason, Andrea seemed to be very dissatisfied with them but the two teenagers did not seem to mind his attitude towards them.

Even though there was a busty chick sitting right next to me the two teenagers’ eyes lingered on me as they left the office. Andrea’s attitude towards me has piqued their interest in me.

“Ah! Student Wyatt, sorry I could not receive you properly.” Andrea’s attitude towards me was different compared to the first time I met him. What is going on?

“You are Dalton Wyatt?” Kathy interjected in surprise. And surprisingly even Cortney asked the same thing with the same surprised expression, “you are Dalton Wyatt?”

Before I could answer them Andrea interjected, “This young lady here, who are you?”

“I am Cortney, my master said you will receive me at the school gate why didn’t you?” Courtney glared at Andrea like a fierce beast, unlike the dumb girl that followed around me.

“Why the fuq would I wait for you at the school gate? And who the hell is your master?” Yelled Andrea. Because of the new tournament rules all kinds of Tom, Dick and Harry have been surfacing to his territory and have been challenging the respect he built in the school over the years. It has been a hectic day for Andrea.

“I am the candidate this year.” Said Cortney as her eyes glowed fiercer than before.

Hearing Cortney’s words’ colour drained from Andrea’s face, he hurriedly stood up and bowed saying, “Please forgive your subordinate young lady.”

Seeing Andrea begging for forgiveness Cortney returned to casual mode, looking at me she asked, “so, are you Dalton Wyatt or not?”

I had no idea what was going on, it was my turn to be surprised and puzzled which I did not like! I finally realised the greatest weakness I had in this world and it was the lack of an information network. Something happened and I did not know jack shit about it.

So I decided to play along with Cortney as Andrea was still bowing as punishment for not receiving her at the school gate, “Yes, I am Dalton Wyatt.”

Cortney’s eyes turned red and she started crying while repeating the same words again and again, “I am sorry! I don’t want to but I have to kill you…I am sorry! I don’t want to but I have to kill you…I am sorry! I don’t want to but I have to kill you…I am sorry! I don’t want to but I have to kill you…”

Seeing Cortney’s state I was freaked out! As for Andrea, he was still bowing as a punishment. Forget me class teacher Kathy was psyched the moment her boss stood bowing to a teenager as a form of punishment. But still, she managed to gather her senses and tried to comfort Cortney only to be slapped hard by her instead, “Shut up bitch, I will kill you if you touch me.”
