Leo had left for the rankers eting and the Private that had given them all the information regarding the rules of the academy had just left.
"I need to go et soone, I won't be too long." John said as he walked towards the door.
"Who are you going to et? I thought you didn't know anyone in the academy aside from us?" Cain asked.
"Yeah, I just t them, I thought it would be good to try make more friends." John replied. He was still looking at the door, so his back was to Cain.
"That's great man, I'm glad you're able to be a bit more social than usual." Cain said. A smile appeared on his face. ' I hope this person doesn't hurt John, he'll end up closing off again if that happens.' Cain thought, his smile fading.
John opened the door and left. He walked down the hallway until he found room number 6 and knocked on the door. Sounds of footsteps could be heard from inside and eventually the door opened.
The person who opened the door was one of the trainees that always follows Trent around, his na is Bron. Bron is around 1.7 ters tall and he has a chubby fra. His brown hair is short and ssy, like a rat was living in it.
Inside the room, 2 other people could be seen. One of them was Trent, the other was a boy nad Kiml. Kimmil is 1.84 ters tall, he has long blonde hair just short of reaching his shoulders. Kimmils left earlobe is missing and the top of the sa ear is split in half.
John walks to the middle of the room and stops just in front of Trent, who is currently sitting on a chair facing John. Kimmil is standing beside Trent and Bron has stopped behind John.
"Hello, John. Did you do as I said?" Trents voice as he asked the question sounded as though he already knew the answer.
"Yes and n-no. I f-found out about everyone except L-Leofalor, he has been in a eting with the other r-rankers for a while now." John said.
Although John was in a stressful situation, for so reason he wasn't stuttering as much as he used to, 'I feel different. Not as scared as I used to feel...' John thought.
" I see. That is unfortunate. You've failed to do the most important task I gave you. You know what that ans right...?" Trent leaned forward, reaching for John's arm.
All the confidence John had had a mont ago faded in an instant.' Not as scared as I used to be?! What am I even thinking?!' John thought.
"No! P-Please, I'll get the information, I s-swear! I just need so ti. I can t-tell you the rest right now." John scrambled to say whatever he thought would prevent Trent from burning him again.
'Please...anything but the burning. I can't take it anymore, it's too painful...' Tears stread down John's face.
" How pitiful. Fine, I'll let you get away with it just this once. " Trent said and relief washed over John. "But the next ti you ss up, I'll burn you twice as bad." A large sadistic smile appeared on Trents face.
John knew that he had avoided the pain this ti, but the next ti would be even worse, 'Is it even worth it...?' John thought.
"Go on then, tell about their abilities." Trent ordered, crossing his left leg over his right. "Cain is able to change the weight of his body. He made is fist light when attacking so that he gets more speed, he then makes it heavier just before he hits his target." John explained.
"How interesting. That shouldn't be too difficult to deal with. What about the other one?" Trent said.
"Clay is able to change the size of his body, the bigger he gets, the stronger he is. He also said he gets heavier when he gets larger, adding to his power." John explained.
Each ti he divulged how his friends abilities worked, John's heart felt more broken than before. Tears were streaming down his face non stop.
" I see. I have an idea of how I can deal with that one, but it won't be as easy. You will find out about Leofalors ability by tomorrow, or I'm going to burn a part of your body that you wouldn't want anywhere near a fire." A sadistic smile appeared on Trents face again, even larger than the last.
Although Trent didn't say where he was planning on burning John, John had a decent idea and was ready to die before enduring such pain.
" Now get out of my sight, I don't want to see your pathetic crying any longer." Trent waved his hand and Bron picked up John and took him to the door, throwing him into the hallway and closing the door.
John got up from the ground with a few bruises, 'I'm such a coward...' He slowly walked back to his room, stopping in front of the door. John could hear voices coming from within, 'Cain and Clay seem to be talking a lot, just like usual.' John thought as he opened the door.
When he walked in, he could see that Leo was there and not at the eting anymore, John's heart was filled with pain at the sight of him. He knew what he had to do, but he really didn't want to hurt Leo.
When Leo turned to face John, there was a mont where he believed Leo was angry at him, but that didn't seem to be the case. "Catch." Leo threw sothing towards him.
John caught the object and could see that it was an assistants badge. "Leofalor... Why would you..." John was teary eyed, but Leo interrupted him. "Because we are friends. Also, you can just call Leo, all my friends do." Leo said with a soft smile.
John held the badge in his hands, not placing it on his uniform just yet, he then walked over to his bed and sat down. 'He's willing to make his assistant, while I'm going to stab him in the back... He even called his friend.' John's heart was in so much pain that he was starting to feel numb.
"John, I've heard you all spoke about your abilities. I'd very much like to see your barriers so day, I believe they will be very useful and I'm curious about how strong they are." Leo said.
"Okay..." John nodded. 'He still believes I can be of help to him... If he knew the truth, he would never speak to again...' John thought.
It was then that Cain asked Leo about his ability. 'Once I know what Leo's ability is... It's all over, I won't be able to hide it from Trent, and Leo will be caught off guard one day because of ...' John thought.
