Kapitel 14: Chapter 14_Teacher Magnus

When I saw the blade pierce mama too, l freaked out and shouted even more. When I saw Ajax shoots his head inside the house, his hands stained with the hot and reddish blood of mama and Anas.

Those two were the two most important people in my life and he murdered them right in my face.

I screamed and shouted as high as my voice could until I felt someone violently shaking me. I jumped up in fright in bed and sat up while beads of sweat trickled down my whole body. I felt a hand hold me as I sat on the bed.

"It's okay Medusa, it's only a nightmare" Mackenzie kept on repeating as she pulled me closer to her body while she comforts me

"Mama, Anas." I whispered to her. She creased her brow " Your family?" I nodded. I am sure they are fine " Mia comforted me I remained curled up on my bed, who wasthis Ajax exactly and what does he wants from me?

"Mind sharing what the dream was about?" Mackenzie asked.

"I saw the senior kill my mother and..my little sister"I replied with shaky breaths. The girls frowned their faces and their mouths drew to circular forms with surprise

"That's horrible but it was only a nightmare. You slept while having fearful thoughts about the senior then he appeared in your subconscious mind. It's normal " Mia lectured me. Normal or not I was still scared and afraid. Only when the two girls slept beside me in the bed was I able to sleep again.

I slept this time around having no nightmares.

The voice-over's announcement was what woke me next. From the speaker, we heard it's instructions.

"Newbies, you are given forty minutes to dress up and go have your breakfasts. Classes resumes after that!" the voice-over repeated. I was unable to sleep well before so I heard the instructions and woke the girls up. We got up, had our baths, and dressed for breakfast. After breakfast was class and after class was facing the dean. We all marched to the dining area, no need to wait outside for instructions since we already knew our destinations. We got to the dining area and eat peacefully. It was quieter this time everyone was

occupied with the thoughts of the class. Even the seniors were quiet. After breakfast, we went to class and sat down to await the teacher. I sighted the silver haired girl sitting alone at a seat and I

walked up to her.

"Good morning "I greeted her with a big smile.

"Morning "she replied after looking up at me.

"I am grateful for yesterday " I thanked her. Her response was to look away from me.

"Would you join me and my friends over there?"l pointed at the girls. She rejected my order flatly. "No" she affirmed calmly.

What? At least feign something and use as an excuse to reject the offer, don't just reject someone's friendly offer like that! I wanted

to say but..

"OK"I said and walked back to my seat. As soon as I got to the girls, they bombarded me with questions " You're talking to the weird girl now?"

"Was it because of yesterday? What did she

say?" I wasn't ready to tell them about how she

rejected my order flatly so I only ignored their questions.

"Come on, share!" Mia complained with curiosity.

I turned my face away from them but they pestered me on and I kept shrugging them

off. Teacher Magnus stepped in and I stiffed.

What if he was here to take us to our assigned punishments posts?

"Hello to you all," he said to the class that now grew silent on sighting him.

"Hello sir!" we all chorused back in return to his greetings. He looked at us with no smile whatsoever on his face unlike Teacher Lazlo. He paced from a corner of the class to the other looking at us one after the other. Finally, he stopped and walked closer to the writing board and wrote channeling on it. I wondered what he was going to teach us.

"I've not heard him teach but I do not like this teacher" Mackenzie whispered to us. The very good student and serious Mia looked at her and adjusted her glasses then

"shhh" she placed her hand on her lips. I said it before, Mia and Cassandra's

attitudes were exact replicas! I think Mia

was worst. Her level of seriousness was on a hundred scale, I cannot wait to see what her ability was.

"I am Magnus, students call me teacher Magnus. Here a student is expected to refer to a teacher here not with their first names but must add 'teacher' to it" he told us.

As if we didn't know, no one has called him Magnus so far!

"When I speak I want your responses, do you understand?" he said sternly.

"Yes sir!" we chorused.

He looked around "As students, you are not expected to sneak out to quiet places at night. The school does its best to create the best for you but if you do not cooperate with us you risk endangering yourself" we heard his voice say to us.

Oh no, was he going to tell the whole class about us?

I and the girls exchanged terrified glances. To our relief " I am taking you on channelling. This class will concern mainly those that are up to 18 and are realizing their powers" he said.

Again with the power discrimination, these teachers!

"Everyone one, up!" he ordered.

We all stood up instantaneously.

"Students with powers over here " he pointed to the right side of the class.

He was going to divide us?

That meant separating Mackenzie from us. The 18 students moved and settled down at the right hand side of the class, Mackenzie included.

"Now our underages over here" he pointed at the left hand side of the class while the rest of us moved rather unwillingly to the left hand side.

We felt dejected and left out. What kind of teacher was this?

"Good" Teacher Magnus nodded " Please maintain this grouping whenever I come to class"

He moved to the middle of the class "Channeling is the supernatural power and ability to draw energy from the force of nature, other living beings and the earth itself." he coached.

"Yes sir!" we had to say even when we were not sure we should answer.

The teacher wanted replies to his every talks and we were going to give him what he wanted.

"The school wanted us to omit the drawing of power from other living beings. They say it is against the conduct of morality. No one wants you students to draw power from each other but I believe it can be used as a manner of defense during war with an opponent" he said, now, he was gaining our attentions.

"Yes sir!" we replied when he paused.

He looked at us with a look of contempt but he couldn't complain since he was the one that ordered us to reply whenever he talks.

"I want a volunteer amongst the 18 students"

Murmurs ensued for a while until...

A boy came out looking so confident.

"What is your ability? Teacher Magnus asked him and almost immediately, His face changed like he was not expecting the question.

" I.. I have indestructible digestion " he stammered.

"Good, this is a good ability to be used for an example." Teacher Magnus face lightened up. " Do you have the control of the power now?" He asked the boy.

"Not really, sometimes I cannot help but to eat things mostly when I'm angry or sad" he replied.

Teacher Magnus nodded. "Now, I will teach you what to do to enable you control your powers and also show you another side of your power you probably don't know". The boy's face lightened up "Yes sir!" he replied alone, it was his good so we were not interested in replying the teacher along

with him.

"You see the early morning sun? The sunrise? Focus on the energy it is delivering.The energy it is sending out to the universe, snatch some of this energy and

bend it to your will. Make it a tool you use for the betterment of yourself.

"Yes sir" The boy shouted his reply enthusiastically.

"They say emotional control is the core of controlling your abilities but I tell you there are other ways for you to do that apart from the emotional control. There are other devices when understood well, would work for you according to your wishes." Teacher Magnus said with determination.

I noted a point in his speech, the teachers seemed to be in competition with one another. Teacher Magnus was trying to tell us we didn't necessarily need emotional control in controlling our powers.

Contradicting what Teacher Lazlo had said before. The only thing was Teacher Lazlo didn't disregard his course the way he was doing Teacher Lazlo's.

This teacher, I didn't like him. For some reason, he seemed to be a person that had other plans up his sleeve.

The boy closed his eyes according to the teacher's orders. "Lift this " he pointed at the altar.

What?

"Sir, but I can only eat metals not lift heavy things" the boy had a frown on his face. I have been wondering what they meant all along by indestructible digestion, so that's what.

He eats metals? Eeeww!
