Chapter 282 - First Day Back (1)



Chapter 282: First Day Back (1)

Alucard slowly nodded at his possible new young overlord with calm eyes.

"Yes of course. You can ask me anything."

And without hesitation, Moby asked his first question.

"First, I would like to ask how exactly was Abby mind-controlled and how did she snap out of it? Scientists have tried to analyze her all they could but they couldn\'t find anything,"

"Yes, I can answer that…"

Alucard slowly nodded back before continuing.

"They were small, nearly invisible nanobots from these shalkers affecting her brain. I am not very familiar with this technology thing, but I think you humans did not have the proper means to analyze it. And, she broke out of it when her brain very well fried… Seeing Alex die right in front of her released so much stress and turmoil onto her brain causing more activity than ever before until both her brain shut down alongside all of the nanobots that turned to cinders…"

"I see…"

Moby expected something like that did happen but it was good to have some closure and definitive answers. However, now came the question he really wanted to ask...

"You said that parts of Alex\'s memories flowed into your mind right?"

"Yes, indeed they have."

"So… Can you tell me how he felt like when he died…"

The air stood still for a few seconds like time had stopped before Alucard replied.

"He was at peace… He had no regrets… What he said in that letter of yours is all true…"

"I see…"

A smile appeared on Moby\'s face before asking his final few questions.

"Is that item your master gave you still with you?"

"No, it disappeared when I came here from purgatory,"

"Are you currently at your original strength?"

"No, my power has greatly plummeted most likely due to the soul transfer. So currently, I am only slightly stronger than you are young lord. I promise to work on restoring my full power so fear not!"

"Will you be able to fight by my side?"

"No… Sadly not right now with how my current master is like… I am not allowed to leave her side. But, if you want to kill her then bind my undead spirit to something then that would work, but I doubt you would want that…"

"Indeed," He nodded back, getting slight flashbacks from when Avilia suggested he should put her down.

Then, Avilia\'s voice suddenly came in and interjected.

"That is enough questions for now… We found out all that we wanted. My spell is about to run out any second now. Thank you, Alucard for all of the insight, and I\'m very pleased to see a familiar soul working under me once more, it truly soothes my heart,"

"No! It is my honour to have the opportunity to serve you again! I am certain any nether realm inhibitor would do anything to be in the position I am in right now,"

That was when a flash of blinding light engulfed all of them and they were thrust back into reality, back on the grass.

Moby took a deep breath, standing up and wiping the dirt off his clothes, looking down only to see Alucard kneeling on the muddy ground.

"I see that you are leaving now young lord! Please! If you ever need me, don\'t be afraid to come and call! I would be more than happy to do anything for you!"

With great pride in his voice, he turned into a red smoke and disappeared into thin air, going towards Abby who was still sleeping.

Without saying a word, Moby smiled and left the garden, taking a quick glance at Abby\'s peacefully smiling figure, promising to come again the next day as he left the room.

The rest of the day went by as he expected, doing nothing but training as getting power was more important to him than ever before— both with Avilia and with Mason.

He leapt onto his bed once more, staring at his ceiling like usual. Yet, this time he did not want to go to sleep. Instead, he meditated trying to enter another trial to level up his void ability. Yet, no matter how many times he tried to do it, he never seem to be able to…

Instead, he decided to train in the way he was taught at the Griffith mansion. Moby might have forgotten the chant that Mason said but Avilia of course did not and replayed it back to Moby who now memorized it.

She said the language seemed both familiar yet unknown to her but she also said she might have been going crazy so he did not take her words as facts— it was not shalker, angel, or demon language that was for sure.

Every time Moby trained in such a way, his core began to crack even more, however only very slightly as it began to leak odd black energy.

Moby and Avilia had no idea what that meant yet they were curious to find out, so they continued to chip away at it slowly but surely. Plus, it gave him a minuscule power boost so it was not just experimentation and a possible waste of time.

Before he knew it, it was already the next day, and it was unusually rowdy when he opened his eyes 20 minutes before class.

Ray seemed to have already gone to his class and left him all alone, which he of course did not mind.

20 minutes was plenty of time for Moby. He brushed his teeth, had breakfast, took a shower, put on his school uniform and went out to leave through the front door before something hit him as he hung onto the door nob…

"Fuck… I almost forget that I\'m now somewhat famous…"

[ Energy Sense ]

Just like he expected, behind his front door was an army of students waiting for him to leave.

\'Jayden! Are you there!?\'

\'Yeah? I\'m in class right now… Do you need anything?\'

\'Did you have an army of students rush at you when you first got to school!?\'

\'No? Why would there be?\'

\'Because there is one outside of my door right now!\'

\'Haha! Well, people are still pretty scared of me while others just ogle me from the sides and no amount of media exposure will change that due to my reputation and status! You on the other hand are known by everyone as a nice guy who is ruthless when needed. Many people will try to suck up to you since you went from abilitiless trash to hero in like a week,"

The realization that if he did not break his nice-guy facade, he might have to do this for the rest of the school year popped up in his brain… But for the sake of his goals, he had to keep it up no matter what since he knew it will be worth it in the future. Not to mention the fact that he could possibly use his reputation as an excuse to get through many things so that also made it all the more worth it. But that did not mean he was not going to confront them in a way to soothe the blow.

\'Do you want me to go somewhere where you could teleport to me or are you just gonna book it out the window?\'

\'You and I both know that my teleportation is still broken. I can teleport to a random spot for all I know and I\'m not taking the risk of suddenly popping up in front of a teacher! I\'ll just find a way out myself! Confrontation with them is inevitable so I\'m probably going to do it at lunch since I don\'t have much time until class starts now! I won\'t let myself be pushed around by these degenerate two-faced bitches!\'

\'Haha! Okay! I\'m sure keeping this nice guy act all year is gonna be really tough! Good luck!\'

Moby took a deep breath, calming his nerves with a slight smile seeing Jayden acting somewhat back like her normal self.

Most of the new cameras at the school had been dismantled due to privacy laws so it allowed Moby to do what he wanted to do…

Using his energy sense outside of his wall to scout the area, he waited until no one was looking until he ran straight at the wall at top speed, going right through it like it was not even there.

"Man I love this skill!"

He mumbled to himself as the bright rays of the sun bounced on his face, jumping all the way up to the school roof like a blur only catching the attention of a few people.

From there, he ran down the stairway to the roof and was met with another war zone… The hallway where there was no escape from so he had to go in full throttle.

Activating both his eyes of sin and freezing time, he ran through the hallway, meticulously dodging everyone and everything in his claustrophobic path.

"HEY! Isn\'t that Moby Kane!!"

"You saved us! Thank you so much for everything! You avenged my dead friend..."

"Can I ple—"

It was inevitable that he would have been spotted, but due to his superior skills and reflexes, he was able to meticulously dodge all of them until he reached his class where a hoard of students was already waiting.

"There he is! He\'s here!"

Like walking straight into a blazing inferno, he jumped up above the flames beneath him like an elegant angel, landing inside of his open classroom door that was immediately shut closed by a man standing beside it much earlier than he ever remembered him usually coming.

"Good morning Kane! I see that you\'ve probably encountered a lot of trouble trying to get here! Haha! Tough being so popular isn\'t it? I\'ll be sure to send a message to the high general to tell him to make an announcement for people to leave you alone."
