Chapter 154: 154
It was weird . . . . . Everyone who was left behind didn't seem worried at all . . . . . Just carrying on with their daily lives like they didn't know there was literally a war that just broke out . . . .
"Hey Paul? . . " I asked getting his attention still pushing him around .
"Wassup? . . . . " He replied .
"Are you completely defenceless right now? . . " I asked a little worried for him .
"Yeah pretty much . . . . I'm basically a normal human for a few days at least . " He smiled .
"I'm really sorry . . . . " I apologised still feeling guilty .
"A . . . . remember you never need to apologise to me . . . and B . . . . there was no other options . . . I did what I did to save the most lives . " He answered .
"Okay . . . . . " I replied to him still feeling guilty .
"So . . . . . About tomorrow . . . want me to move the match to next week? . . . I'm sure the Deputy Headmistress would understand that you and the other have gone through a lot today . " He offered .
"Nah let's just get it over and done with . " I answered trying not to think about it .
"Ohhh lets rest at the bench . " He said pointing at some benches overlooking a nice green area .
"Sure . " I smiled wheeling him there and taking a seat on the bench .
"So how have you been . . . . . ?? . . . . . " He hesitantly asked sounding nervous .
"You mean before all this . . . . ?? . . . . " I asked .
"Yeah . . . . " he replied quietly .
"Well . . . I went on to study law . . . . because you persuaded me to take it . . . " I explained putting a smile on his face . "Found some great friends . . . . . . was doing well for myself till you know this… . . Happed . " I smiled to him .
"That's great . . . " He smile back at me .
"And you? . . . " I asked in return .
"It's a long story . . . . Left our world with my brother and three cousins . . . . went travelling for two years across planes learning discovering things . . . they went back home . . . . . And I came here . . . . " He answered making an effort to shorten his story .
"Wait wait . . . . . . . how did you even learn to leave our world? . . " I questioned hoping to get more detail .
"It's very weird actually . . . . you would call us crazy at the time it all happened . . . . but when we was about 12 or 13 me, my brother and my two cousins . . . " He began to explain .
"Peter, Steven and Phillip right? . . . " I questioned remembering the four of them were always very close .
"Yes . . . that's us . . . . . Well when we attended the funeral of a close relative . . . there was a strange old man watching over the ceremony . . . . . Well this strange old man also made an appearance during my mum funeral no one knew him but there he was standing in the distance overlooking the funeral . . . . . And I don't know if you remember . . . . . I vanished for a month or two . . . . . I told you guys it was funeral proceedings and religious stuff . . . . but I lied . . . . this old man was our first ever mentor . . . . showed us the amazing things outside our plane . . . . taught us a lot of magic and things . . . . we travelled for what felt like years . . . . . . learning studying discovering . . . . then one day we all awoke back in our bedrooms like it was all a strange dream that we all remembered . . . . . but the weird thing was that our magic still remained and we was only gone for a month and a bit . . . . . and our families didn't noticed we disappeared either . . . …" He began to tell the story .
"You'e joking right? . . . " I asked in disbelief .
"No joke . . . . that's what happened . " He laughed .
"So what made you leave? . . . . " I questioned .
"Well . . . . . . . . Someone gave me a clue to my mum's sudden passing . . . pointing to a murder then a natural cause of death . . . " He began to explain his expression changed . . . . . He looked saddened and full of regret by just even thinking of the past . "I couldn't let it go . . . . . There was so much anger inside me when I discovered it . . . . . So much need for vengeance . . . " He began to explain when suddenly near several portals opened up . "Ohh looks like everyone is back . . . Let's go see if Scarlet is back . " Paul smiled .
Dozens of students exited the portals helping carry the slightly wounded and weakened students . They all took a small glance at Paul in a wheel chair pausing slightly and gave us a nod and smile of respect and slowly made their way to the infirmary .
"Do you think we lost any students today? . . . " I questioned worried seeing the amount of wounded students . . .
"There was one I couldn't save . . . . " He whispered choking up at the mention of it .
" . . . . . . . . . . . . Did you know him? . . . . . . " I asked noticing his reply .
"No not really . . . . . . I didn't expect them to have so many moonbeams left after blasting my first barrier . . . . but I was wrong . . . . . I was barely able to erect my barrier in time to absorb the most the blast of the moon beam . . . One student ran towards me instead of falling back . . . . . He was caught in blast . . . . . . " He explained sounding very saddened .
"Paul . . . " The Deputy Headmistress stepped out the portal and recognised us . . . "And the trouble maker . " She said recognising me .
