VOLUME 5: PART 2: FATHER
897 Words
I agreed and he told me he wanted to test a theory out, it was rumored that with the sword of light, elemental powers become eternal, he told me he had no idea what that meant but he believed that I could show him. I battled with the mega bots, I destroyed all five of them with the five elemental powers I now possessed but they worked beyond my expectations. I used fire first and the fire burnt the first robot till nothing remained depicting it ever existed. I used water next and the robot melted beyond recognition, the water acted like an extremely corrosive acid that destroys everything it comes across. The air I used simply disabled the robot, the elemental power of earth simply turned the robot into dust and the lightning simply left no remains of the robot it was used on. I easily mastered my new powers because my capability, endurance, intelligence and durability had increased immensely with my powers now at the third stage. I fought robot after robot not for once being pushed into a corner, it was simply all too easy. Mr Olasile called my training to a close after I had destroyed over two hundred robots, he told me to have a rest and I simply went to my room, Paulo and Danzaki joined me and they tried to put my mind off the fact that I had killed Damola with my own hands but their efforts were fruitless, that was a scar I was going to keep forever.
I woke up late at midnight, I didn't know why but my left eye got to work instantly, I happened to hear a conversation, it was Mr Olasile, he was speaking to an unknown individual, an individual I logically imagined was my father, I heard Mr Olasile say to the individual, "He will soon be ripe for harvest, he is now at the third stage, it was just as you said, losing his lover gave him unimaginable powers, the plan almost failed but I passed him a sword the moment his bloodlust took over, he massacred them like pigs, he butchered them like cows". The individual simply replied by saying "very well then, I shall wait till he is powerful enough and then, I shall take what is mine, after all, I only gave it out to multiply it, although, I fear him because he is different, I'm however not surprised, Jamal was always quite a pain in the ass". The last statement of the individual changed my perception of the entire situation, my father wasn't the only enemy I had, someone else who must sincerely despise him was also after me, there was someone else behind the scenes pulling the strings. The conversation ended afterwards and I went straight to bed to avoid any suspicion. I made up my mind to get out of the special squad academy the next day, I wasn't going to wait till I am killed. I planned our escape and put our contingency plan in my thoughts too. I grabbed a piece of paper and put it an envelope in preparation for my inevitable fight with Mr Olasile, immediately it was dawn, I called in sick and had my cousins come over and stay with me, I told them everything I heard in the conversation and they agreed with my plan, we were going to flee when it was mid-day. The moment we stepped out of the gates of the special squad academy, we went through the tunnel that led to Osun, in hopes that we'd escape to Osun but an old friend had other ideas. Mr Olasile appeared in front of us and promised us death if we tried to escape, I told my cousins to go on, I was going to deal with Mr Olasile but he was stronger than I imagined, before we battled he told me I must remember that he was my father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate, I asked what that made us and he said absolutely nothing but that I was a living corpse, I charged towards him but to my greatest surprise, I went right through him, I threw the envelope containing the empty paper at him, he took it up and after looking at the paper asked me what it was, I told him it was a list of ways he could beat me, he said to me "but it's blank", I laughed and told him that was the point, he couldn't beat me. He told me I was in danger, I laughed and told him I was the danger, not in danger, we started our battle and Mr Olasile was like a ghost, no attack affected him but I noticed that he could only stay in that state for ten seconds at most, we continued battling and he asked how I wanted to be buried when I die, I laughed and told him that it was if, not when I die. I noticed ten minutes had elapsed and without hesitation, I cut off his right arm, and spat on him, after all, he was a narcissistic backstabbing piece of crap. He jumped away from me and started attacking from a long range, I laughed and told him that although I saw him like a father, he turned out to be quite the unimaginable disappointment.
