Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Crazy Boy
At first, Loop was confused by the words that had come out of Quinn's mouth . There were two possible reasons he could be acting like this . Either Quinn was just pretending not to know or when Brandon entered the hospital, he was still alive at the time . Meaning Quinn thought Brandon was still alive after attacking him .
"Look I promise I'll keep your secret, I know you attacked Fei because of what happened at the weapons hall, it had to be you . Who else would attack him and have gauntlets like you? So you decided to go after Brandon next after taking down me . " Fei explained . "Look I just want to continue living in school as normal, I don't want any drama . I don't know why you're hiding behind that fake power level of yours but please, I just don't want to get involved and I'll stay out of your way . "
Quinn was trying his best to process the information he had just been told . Right now a student had died . To be honest, he wasn't really sure what the process or punishment was for a student's death and at the same time, he didn't want to find out .
If the other students were to learn about the attacks on Fei and Brandon, they would naturally assume it might have been Quinn wanting payback . However, the one thing that would make them doubt that, was the fact that he was only a level 1 student .
Right now, only Loop knew his secret, so it was no wonder Loop was afraid of him . With all this information, for now, Quinn felt it was best to play along .
"You don't have to worry . " Said Quinn, "Like you said you were only protecting your friend and you didn't actually do anything to hurt me during the combat class . As long as you stay out of my way, I will stay at of yours . "
"Thank you," Loop said as he bowed down and left the room .
After Loop had left there was a thought lingering on Quinn's mind . Just who did kill Brandon? Was their anyone in the school that had a grudge against him? They had only been at the school a few days and the school purposely made sure no one knew each other before sending them here .
It was hard for Quinn to come up with a suspect, all he knew about Brandon was what had happened at the combat classes . If a petty person like him was able to plan an attack like that, then perhaps he had made many enemies already .
After finishing his talk, Quinn headed to the canteen to catch up with his other two roommates but when he entered the canteen . Instead of seeing Vorden and Peter sitting together like usual . Vorden was sitting on his own and there was no sign of Peter .
Quinn quickly grabbed his food and decided to sit next to Vorden .
"Hey, aren't you worried about the second years coming to attack you?" Vorden said .
"From the looks of it people will continue to bother us anyway, so we might as well live how we want . " Quinn replied, "Hey so where's Peter, didn't you two come here together?"
"You're looking in the wrong places," Vorden said as he pointed in a different section of the canteen .
The two of them were sat in the low-level section where the level 1 and twos would usually sit . This was where Peter would usually come to join them as well . But the direction Vorden had pointed in was the higher-level tables, the level 4 and 5 tables and sitting next to them was Peter .
"What is he doing over there? Are they targeting him?" Quinn asked .
"Who knows, when Peter entered the canteen, he looked and me and said, I'm going to hang out with some new friends I made the other day . I asked him if he needed help and he said not to worry . "
As the two watched Peter hang out with the others though, it seemed like he was getting on with them well . He wasn't being asked to grab food or carry their things like the other lower power levels in other groups .
"Well maybe we should just keep an eye on them for now, it doesn't look like he's in trouble and we can always ask him about it later . "
Just then though as Quinn and Vorden were busy eating their food at their table . Another tray of food was slammed down .
"I hope you two don't mind but I have come to join you," Layla said as she sat down .
As soon as Layla sat at her seat, she couldn't stop staring at Vorden and the same was true for him . In the middle of the two was Quinn . He could feel the heat and tension in the air with both of them and he didn't have a clue what happened .
"So I see that hole in your leg healed up nicely," Layla said
Vorden face started to twitch slightly .
"Hahaha, what are you talking about, sorry my name's Vorden I don't believe we have met," Vorden said pulling out his hand for a shake .
"You are crazy if you think I'm going to shake your hand and you're just going to pretend nothing happened are you?" Layla then turned to Quinn . "Quinn can you not see this guy is crazy yet?"
"Don't call me crazy," Vorden said slowly saying each word .
"Hey, hey, I think you both need to calm down," Said Quinn feeling like any second now the two were going to clash in the canteen . "I don't even know what happened between the two of you, please explain?"
"This Crazy boy attacked me when I went to your room last night, look," Layla said as she pulled down her uniform slightly to reveal the red marks on her neck . "I keep telling you Quinn, he's dangerous, leave him . "
Vorden was visibly shaking at this point but it was hard to tell if it was with anger or something else .
"I said don't call me Crazy" And again just like last time . Vorden slowly said each word, one by one .
