Blackport PD: Paranormal Detectives

Chapter 10

Nathan’s POV

“What happened? This is not the first time that something like this happened because of you...” Dean Peter said slowly. His words are firm to make sure that I understand what he is trying to say.

There are few other people in the room and the only ones I’m familiar with are Ichigo, Sheritan, and Klio, aside from others that I’m not really familiar with.

“Mica is stable now, but she needs to rest to regain her energy. Same with the guy you knocked out on the room is now okay but still unconscious. Rest assured that he will be okay and will be able to use his ability again,” Klio explained as people nodded.

I sighed in defeat as I faced Dean Peter who is now staring directly at me, and Ichigo who has a smirk plastered on his face.

“Is there something wrong with what I’ve done? I just...”

“You just touch them and you easily drain their abilities. Do you know what kinds of ability do you possess?” Ichigo’s smirk widen as he continue what I was about to say. I turned my gaze to somewhere else to escape the stares they are all giving me.

“The leech’s curse.” We all said in unison before everything becomes silent.

“That is...”

“Amazing!”

“Magnificent!”

“Damn, a rare one! So lucky!”

I move my head up and saw everyone has wide smile on their lips as admiration is evidence on their eyes. I smiled as I finally know what ability does this body possess and at least understand why he didn’t want this in the first place.

Like, who in the normal world would accept being a freak that made everyone faint as he suck all of the energy force from them?

Though I still have lots in mind, and one of them is why the real Nathan didn’t use his ability to protect himself. He definitely stands a chance especially if his enemy or the one who almost killed him the last is a mere human.

Or is he?

“Well, that possibly explains it. From now on, you will be –“ Dean’s words hang in mid-air as the door suddenly  burst open. Revealing a sweaty, breathing heavily and haggard Roscoe.

“Ha! I’m here!” He said while panting. He looked around until his gaze locked mine. His eyes widened as his mouth stays open. He only stopped when Sheritan smacked him in the face before pulling him on her side.

“You look stupid,” she said in a low voice that made his brows furrowed. She just raised her eyebrows and cross her arms before turning his back on him. Seeing the fast change on her behavior, I can surely tell that she is now Itan and not the Sheri we have a while ago.

Dean shook his head before facing me and smiled.

“Congratulations, Mr. Rosario. You are now promoted to the Diamond section.” He said gladly. He was about to shake hands with me when Ichigo blocked him and show me a pair of gloves I didn’t know where he got those.

I hesitant at first but later on grab it from his hands and slowly put them on my hands. It is color black with a soft, and cotton texture. It’s a good thing that winter season will approach in a few weeks so me wearing gloves won’t be a case.

“Those are specialized gloves for special persons with special abilities like you. I just hope that you use your ability to good and not to abuse it to hurt others.” He said firmly before turning his back on me. He walks to Ros’ direction and put his finger on his sweaty forehead.

“That’s what you get from trying to test him even though you already have an idea as to what ability he has.”

Ros scratched the back of his head before laughing awkwardly and facing me.

“Yes, and I’m sorry. I just want to know if it is true because from the times that I had him carried on my back, I felt a little decrease on my speed. Maybe the prolonged touch from him resulted to what happened to Mica and to my ability,” he said while looking blankly on the walls.

“So, what can you say about his former classmate who passed out? According to the report, he only touched his forehead for a few seconds and then boom, he fainted and still unconscious at the moment.” Klio tried to prove her point while arguing at Ros.

“He’s just too weak that a single touch could make him faint.” Ros mocked that made Itan laughed because of the bad joke. She’s always the one who likes dark humor.

Dean just shook his head before grabbing a piece of paper from under his table. He took his pen out before signing whatever document he has at hand right now. After signing, he put his thumb mark before handing it to me.

“Give this to your new professor. He will be the one to guide you on your REAL first day of class.”

I grab it from him and skim the letter that just states that I am now promoted to the diamond section just like what he said earlier.

Of course... Who would have thought that this body of Nathan possesses this kind of power that easily made him popular to the faculty and has been already noticed by almost all of the hunters?

Well, except for one...

I wonder where he is. Can he foresee the future where the real me and the entire world will collapse and that they will bring me back to this past I am right now?

“Who’s the professor that I will give this to?” I politely asked that made him smile while the others stiffle a laugh. I looked around and saw people laughing. My forehead creased but slowly smoothen as I turn my gaze on to the one who is staring at me while his hand is in front of me, waiting to submit the paper I have at hand.

His lips formed a smirk as realization hit me.

Why the hell didn’t you think about that possibility, Salvatore?

“Welcome to the Diamond class, Mr. Rosario. I’m Ichigo Lei, your new class professor.”

--

“Guys, we have a new student. Behave or else...” Sir Ichigo said strictly that made everyone quiet.

Even though he is still basically a student in the academy, his superb skills and amazing intelligence made him way higher than any student him. No wonder that most of the students are afraid of him not just because of his strength and abilities, but also because of his cold stares that can make anyone shut up.

“Introduce yourself briefly and we’ll start our next subject,” he commanded. I hurriedly went to the center to do as he say before he go berserk over lost time.

“I’m Nathaniel Rosario, 18 years old.” I was about to sit down when I heard one student raised his hand and stand up from his chair. The same scenario that happened to the previous class I was in.

I hope this would end well...’ I said to myself before faking a smile.

“What’s his psychic ability and why does he wear gloves? Winter is still a few weeks away though...” He asked in a polite way. Good thing that this class is unlike the Stone section where someone would block me or anything. I don’t want to have another student being sent to the infirmary because of me.

I took a deep breath before facing them all and answer their questions.

“I need this to protect all of you from my ability because...

I can drain you all.”

Everyone becomes silent as I walked my way to the back of the room, still next to a window with a great view of the special training ground for hunters.

“That will be it. Everyone keep silent, we’re going to start now,” Sir Ichigo said that made the whole class quiet and directed his attention to him.

Well, that’s good because I don’t want anyone asking me about my newly discovered ability and all.

Almost all of the entire class is busy taking notes from whatever Sir Ichigo is saying. Almost, except for me and the one guy that I felt his stares piercing at my back.

I sighed before slowly turning my back to face him, only to be wondering as to why he is staring at me like this.

His eyes are open wide as his mouth gapes while staring at me. He looks like he had seen a ghost or something. I snapped my finger at him that startled him a bit before staring at me with those cold, menacing red eyes.

“You two at the back, do you have any problem?” Sir Ichigo shouted that made me startled for a bit. I took a deep breath to calm myself before facing the front and smiled at him.

“Nothing sir, I guess he’s just amazed that I have a rare ability,” I simply said while smirking at the back of my head as I felt his stares digging on to my back.

“Stop messing with me. You two, talk to each other as you will be group mates for the rest of the school year,” he said that made us frozen in our seats.

I slowly turned my head and stare at him who also had the same reaction as me. Even before we said a word, someone softly knocked on the door that grabs everyone’s attention.

A familiar girl smiled and waved before walking into the room. He handed Sir Ichigo a letter that is from the healers as a proof that she went there and didn’t ditch the class.

She roams her eyes around and stopped as she saw me at the back. Her smiling lip went down and pouts before taking the seat at the second row.

“Does everyone have their own group? That will serve as your permanent groupings for the rest of the school year or who knows... For the rest of your lives?” His words have other meaning for me that stirs the emotion I have inside. I can’t help but smile as I remember this exact scenario happening to us before, the hunters.

Who would have thought that a random stranger will have a big impact at your life?

“Sir, I’m sorry but I don’t have any group mates yet. Does anyone here have a free space on your group?”

Many of our classmates raised their hands and insist her to be a part of their group. Seeing their reaction made me realize that this Micaelle is not just beauty and talent but maybe a brainy one. Top tier I must say.

Our classmates already grouped themselves into six and seeing that there are only two of us in the group, Sir Ichigo interrupted everyone and points his finger at us.

“Micaelle will be going to be grouped with those two boys at the back.” I heard sighs and silent complaints from the rest of the class but they can’t voice it out as Sir Ichigo still has this strict face that everyone feared.

“But Sir...” One guy from the class bravely rises up from his seat and stares back at our professor who is looking coldly at him. I saw him shiver a bit but keep himself to say what he has to say as Mica looks at her with pleading eyes.

“There will only be three people on that group and almost all of us have six. Maybe you could just separate the three into one of every group to be fair with them and everyone?”

The rest of the class agrees with the idea and tried convincing Mica once more to join them. The guy beside me just snorted before putting his head on the desk and tries to sleep. I just shook my head and sighed heavily before crossing my arms and bend my body a bit to keep me relaxed.

“I appreciate your ‘concern’ but I know my instructions carefully. Only six members per group so what do you think will the group with the latest members do?”

I slowly opened my eyes and fixed my posture. I also see the guy beside me straighten up before looking at me and at Sir Ichigo who has a wide smirk plastered on his lips.

“That means...”

“Yes class... The three of them will be sent back to the mortal world to find their missing members. See you on the other side, kids.”
