Kevin was not swiveled by the sight of the head girl horrified, inhuman form still maintaining eye contact, the head girl tighten are lips. “Grrrr….You are the first that saw my true form without a single fear in your face.” “You. You. You. I'm tired of hearing those word.” He walked up to her. “Shall we begin?” Suddenly, the head girl swung her sharpen fingers towards Kevin, he vanished. “Where is he?” “Behind you Senior.” Kevin replied, she turned with a kick then a punch which Kevin sidestepped over and over again. “The blackness on your skin, the darkness I feel. You must be the kind they call shadow.” He told, The head girl's eyes widened. She increased her speed, injecting her body, crawled up to the ceiling with her head up side down. Her limps grew longer including her neck. “Don’t forget damaging of school properties is an offense. The head girl should fully understand what I mean by that.” Kevin jerkily added “I don’t care anymore. You are pissing me off more than that guy.” She raged, jumped towards Kevin, unknowingly to her Kevin kicked her as she flew to the toilet destroying the door and the toilet bowl as water sprinkled on her. She staggered and stood up, partially wet with a few rends on her clothes. Looked at her body, she sniffled thrice then burst into tears. “How dare…..you hurt a lady like this….you are…..so….mean…. junior.” She whimpered. Kevin blinked. “See. I was trying not to… You came at me first!” He sighed. “Am sorry.” “Good, he fell for it.” The head girl thought with a smirked, suddenly a tail, looking like a human back bone but with sharp edges thrusted out underneath her skirt towards Kevin, he guarded it with his arm as it twirled around his wrist. “Got you now!” She said in a scratchy tone. Swung her hip backwards tried to pull him to her but she couldn’t then Kevin pulled her to himself easily, held her shoulders, slammed her to the ground with the impact cracking the ground. Kevin looked at the exit door. “Seriously, no one is coming to check the strange noises in the male’s restroom.” He looked straight to the head girl’s eyes. “Your shadows does it prevent people from knowing what is happening here?” she slowly turned her face away and nodded, Kevin observed her including her long eyelashes. “How should I stop it.” She ignored the question. Kevin tightly gripped on her shoulders. “Answer me!” he yelled, she moaned. “You are hurting me junior.” She whispered, Kevin blinked. “Tell me the truth, seeing my true form what do you think?” Kevin sighed. “In this kind of situation, you are asking me this. Now?!” Kevin asked as she slowly turned staring at his eyes with her expanded black pupils and nodded. “You are not a monster.” Her eyes lit up. Only one person had told her that same words and that was Gregor when she was recruited into his team. “Okay, that moment is gone. Now release the door, I have people that are waiting for me at the other side.” Suddenly they heard an explosion outside the school. Kevin suddenly looked at the door, distracted by that, another tail came out underneath her skirt held Kevin’s leg and at that same time, the one at on his wrist unrolled , flung him to the ceiling with a hit, he went down, she then jabbed him using her two tails, knocking Kevin, destroying the whole of the toilet accommodations in the restroom. The head girl stood up went to the exit door and opened it as are appearance changed back to her former self. She side looked Kevin and smirked before leaving. “What was that explosive sound I heard earlier?” Kevin asked himself, stood up removing some debris from his body. A strange vibe befell him. He ran outside. His eyes widened. The whole building was ruined. “My sisters!” he dashed towards his sisters' class with great speed. Half of the class was completely crushed to the ground, he surveyed the class. Didn’t see anyone, walked towards the window then he sighed a relief. He could see his twin sisters, classmates with their teachers looking at the building with awe. He turned staring at damages done by who knows who. “Some side of me is happy. There will be no school for weeks.” He blinked. “Feyi!” he ran back to his class still was no one there. “Kevin?!” He turned. “Huh? Feyi.” She waved her hand. “What are you doing here?!” she said after running to Kevin, held his hand immediately dragged him towards the safe spot while most pupils were downstairs. “Feyi?” Kevin called while being dragged, Feyi couldn’t answer as she was directing others while holding Kevin’s hand. He looked at his hand as she held it tightly. “Go down stairs, you will be save there!” she directed with few teachers also directing and carrying the injured pupils outside. Kevin stopped. “Feyi? Listen.” He said, Feyi stopped also, looked back not making eye contact with him. “Kevin, this is not a good place to have a conservation.” She turned to her front but she couldn’t move Kevin any longer, her eyes widened, looked back at Kevin. “Listen Feyi, about yesterday. You sounded frustrated by the news I told you on the phone.” In a flash he removed his hand from Feyi. “Am free from the unknown disease. I will live longer.” He said putting his hands sideways, smiling. Feyi leaned closer staring at Kevin’s eyes. He swallowed then suddenly grab his hand. “We will talk after we are safe.” She said, dragging Kevin downstairs. Meanwhile at the center of the school, someone was levitating facing gasping Gregor, Femi, Xavier and Safiya while they’re standing on the ground, The head girl jumped to their side. “I thought I told you to watch her closely.” Gregor recalled, The head girl wasn’t sure what Gregor was talking about, she turned her face squinting at the figure levitating in their front, her eyes widened. “She?!” “Yeah. Am right. I told you guys there is something fishy about her.” Femi said, “It turns out she is a Vessel.” Xavier said, as the head girl gasped. Gregor stepped forward. “Safiya. Is anyone still in the building?” he asked. Safiya swiftly hunched, placing her hand on the ground. “No, head boy, the last two left just a moment ago.” Safiya replied. “Good. Head girl. Put a shadow around us, we need to calm this situation down before it get out of hand.” The head girl immediately nodded. Immediately the surroundings around them turned black in the shape of a cube blocking anyone from coming in or going out. “Gregor, what about the Principal?” the head girl slowly asked, “Don’t worry I sent someone to inform him about this situation.” Gregor assured. “Now get into formation!” He ordered. Immediately Xavier ran back as he waved his hand, a Sniper materialized in his hands. Safiya waved her hand as a Rapier materialized in her hand, the head girl turned into her black form then Gregor a War fan with a two blade sword materialized in his hands. “Remember this is what the Principal need to move his plan forward, we fight it and capture it alive.” He said. They all nodded facing the levitating Japanese girl. Meanwhile at the meeting were the principal was, a female messenger directly from the school entered, spoke into the principal’s ear as he got surprised. “What? Right now?!” He rhetorically asked, everyone at the meeting looked at him. “Mr. Kolade, what’s the problem?” an old woman asked. “My school is being attack.” A middle aged man giggled. “You mean the school we just elected you as the new Principal? That’s cruel.” He jokingly said, “Mr. Kolade, did any of your teachers has the abilities to face the problem.” The boss asked. Kolade shook is head. “Then let your pupils settle it then since they have what it takes.” Kolade immediately stood up, he can’t absolute leave his pupils at the mercy of a Vessel. “No, Sir. They are up against something that is more challenging.” “Then what’s it, Mr. Kolade?” The old woman asked. “A Vessel!” he answered back immediately. Everyone was shocked. “Woah! A Vessel it is the final piece our organization needs to have the world in our hands.” Someone said. “Okay. Very good. Mr. Kolade please sit down, allow my two strongest men to pick the piece,” he said, “Hogan and Oscar. I need you two on the retrieval.” He commanded. “With pleasure, Boss.” Hogan said as he and Oscar stood up, followed the person that informed Kolade to the school. “And Mr. Kolade about the media, no need to worry. We will do something about that.” He assured Kolade.
