Chapter 67 The Perfect Disguise
The student who was following Damian was from Orton\'s Superhuman School. At first, Damian had no idea why someone from that school would follow him.
He never went there before, and he was not even going to participate in the tournament, so there was no reason for them to go after him, yet someone had!
The answers would finally come to him with the student tied to a chair and willing to let Damian peek inside his mind. He placed both hands on the boy\'s temple and activated his Telekineses, searching for information inside the mind with the help of his passive-enhancing mind control.
It was impossible to get a clear answer to why the student was doing what he was doing, but the images that flashed before Damian\'s eyes were easy to understand, and the face of someone he knew appeared.
"Joffrey? Bastard. Again?"
Joffrey had tried to harm him in some ways before, but now that they were outside the school, he was trying to get Damian killed! That was too much, and Damian had to act.
He created a black dagger with his Slime Ring and slowly used his left hand to take out the cloth from the student\'s mouth, "if you scream, you will die."
The student was so frightened that he did precisely what Damian told him to and did not say anything after taking the cloth out of his mouth.
"Why did that student hire you?" Damian asked with a hoarse, creepy voice utterly different from his normal voice.
"I-I don\'t know. He told me to study that student and find a breach for him to attack and kill! I don\'t know why he would want to kill a student, but he does."
"Are you two going to meet somewhere?"
"Yes, two days from now. We are supposed to meet in the alley, and I must share everything I learned after following that student."
Damian waved his hand, and slime covered the student\'s mouth again. He walked inside the room, moving from side to side, trying to devise a plan.
"Yes, that should teach him a lesson."
He returned to where the student was, stopping right before it and taking the slime out of his mouth.
"Are you participating in this stupid tournament?"
That was a key question if his plan would work or not.
"No, I am not. No one evens me here and will look for me…."
There was no denying that the boy\'s sentence was a little sad, and Damian felt terrible for a moment, but he was doing what he had to. Joffrey probably took advantage of that poor lad who was incapable of protecting himself and did not have anyone around to watch him.
"I\'ll keep you here for two or three days, giving you food, and you can use the bathroom too when I am around. After that, you will be free and forget about everything that happened."
The boy was almost tearing up, as he was almost sure he would not leave that situation with his life, yet fate was unwilling to let him die so early.
"Really? Will you do that for me?"
"Of course. But first, give me your clothes and glasses."
"…"
Damian let the student tied up inside his closet. Not a comfy situation to be in, especially for two days, but he had to do that if he wanted to confront Joffrey.
Also, that person right there was a gold mine for Damian! What was the thing bothering him at that point? Enter the main building where the principal\'s room was, yet only Orton\'s Superhuman School students could enter.
"I have a perfect disguise now! A student they barely remember and the most ordinary looking possible!"
If he did not want to kill the poor student, he would have to remain inside that closet for a few days, but that was still better than dying, right?
Damian slept like a baby. He woke up, ate breakfast, went to the bathroom to pee, shower, and brush his teeth. After that, he gave the tied student some food and waited by the other side of the door for him to use the bathroom.
Every time he met the student, he wore that black mask, and his outfit was also changed by the slimes, turning him into a different person so that the student could not link him to anyone!
After the student had addressed his needs, it was time to return to the closet, where Damian tied him up again. The student was no longer having thoughts of resisting, as he saw the best way out of the situation was to endure for a few days, and then everything would be over.
Damian returned to his day-to-day appearance after the student could no longer see him and left his room.
Although it was early morning, the entire school was vivid, with plenty of people moving around as if preparing for something.
The tournament would start that day! Damian met Magnus and Aurora on his way and wished them good luck!
"Bro, relax. You and I trained daily in the gym so that we would destroy them!"
"Right. I did not tell them I am not participating," thought Damian, scratching his head.
He then explained that he was giving up the tournament, yet Aurora and Magnus could not understand the reasons behind it. They clearly remember how excited Damian was after hearing about the serum, yet now he was giving up?
"There are things I can\'t share with you right now; I am so sorry. But I will watch over you and cheer for your win," Damian said.
Despite the two disliking that Damian, their friend, had secrets, they did not ask any further and were okay with it. He had saved the two, and helped them out since the first day they met, so why bother with that?
"It\'s okay, bro. At least you will be safe from my biceps, but I can\'t say the same thing for the others."
Aurora grabbed Damian by the hand and said, "let\'s go to the tournament area."
Her pure smile was grand, and the trio moved toward the gym, where the tournament would soon start.
