-1Chapter 3:
"Dear god…" said Chancellor Shepard as he stared into the proctor's lounge. On the wall they were facing, from the top left corner a big trace of blood was there, going down diagonally to the right, leading down to a dead proctor, with blood coming from his ears, as well as several puddles of blood, which seemed to have come from his body. One could assume by the width of trail of blood on the wall that the proctor was literally dragged from the top right corner, pressing hardly against the wall, making the blood on his back be on the wall. Chancellor Shepard walked towards the proctor and examined him. As he did, one of the proctor walked up to Chancellor Shepard. "Should we call a doctor?" asked the Proctor as he stared at the dead proctor.
"I think a priest would be more suited." said Chancellor Shepard with a frown. He sigh as bent on his knees and examined the dead body closer. He noticed a slash on the body which was where the biggest blood puddle was. He also noticed on the biggest blood puddle, a dead, black lily was floating. "What's with the lily's? And why do they always bleed from their ear? That's about the most unlikely spot to stroke." Shepard whispered.
"What was that sir?" asked the proctor next to him.
"Nothing, we just need to hire a crime solver, to find who's responsible for this." said Chancellor Shepard. "Did you make sure everyone evacuated this area?"
"Yes sir, all the students should be going to their respective their dorms." said the proctor.
While it was true that they had left the area, the students weren't dumb. They could figure out if class doesn't start for an hour, then they don't need to be in their dorms till such time. Thus, everyone was socializing outside. As Alexis and Jasmine walked outside they stared at the sky. It was bright blue with the sun shining. Although, in this distance, some clouds could be seen.
"Pretty day. Huh?" said Alexis as she looked up.
"Yeah, let's go talk to the new duelist." said Jasmine. Alexis sighed and looked at her.
"Why are you so interested in him?" asked Alexis as they started looking for the duelist.
"He looks cool." said Jasmine as she spotted him, and started walking towards him,Alexis following. However, to their surprise, he seemed to be already talking to a Ra Yellow girl. She had a blondish brown hair tied in a pony tail with two long parts of hair in the front, similar to Jaden's, with a slim body. She seemed to be very excited while the duelist kept his same expressionless face. As Alexis and Jasmine approached both of them they looked at them. The duelist and the Ra Yellow girl shifted their gaze to Obelisk girls.
"Alexis! Hey!" said the Ra Yellow girl, happy. The other duelist looked at them. From the bottom to the top. He seemed to gaze more at Jasmine, but with the quickness of his gaze, it was unclear.
"Hey Christy." said Alexis, and Jasmine. They both turned their gaze at the new duelist.
"Hi, my name is Alexis." said Alexis, then pointed at Jasmine. "And that's Jasmine." Jasmine waved at him, friendly. The duelist gazes at them.
"Greetings. I'm Izual. " said the duelist as he extended his at the girls, offering a hand shake. They both shook his hand.
"So do you guys know what happened?" asked Alexis. Christy shrugged.
"Beats me." said Christy.
"It
could be something involving an official, such as a proctor or
teacher." said Izual. They all looked at him.
"What makes you
say that?" asked Jasmine. Izual kept his face expressionless.
"Well, they evacuated all students, so it must be something to be discussed with officials." said Izual. They all exchanged glances.
"So what dorm did you end in?" asked Jasmine.
"Ra
Yellow. I was expecting Obelisk blue, but Ra Yellow is good." said
Izual.
"It's really good! That way you are in my dorm!" said
Christy, peppy as always.
"That's good." said Izual. "So how are the classes here?"
"They
are pretty good." said Christy.
"Yeah, they put all dorms
together in the same big class, works really nice." said Jasmine,
cheerfully. Then Jaden jumped on Christy's back.
"Hey!" shouted Jaden on Christy's back. Christy groaned as she struggled to keep him up then fell to the ground, face first. "Um…oops." Christ growled as she knocked him off. Alexis and Jasmine laughed while Izual seemed to let out some air, almost a chuckle but not quite so. Christy stood up and glared at Jaden. He just smiled at her, and she sighed. She smiled again.
"Crazy idiot." said Christy as she helped him up. Syrus came and smiled.
"C'mon
guys, they are starting class earlier due to what happened earlier."
said Syrus.
"Do you know what happened?" asked Alexis,
curiously.
"Something
about proctor, c'mon let's go." said Syrus as he started
walking towards. They all followed him to Dr. Crowler's class. As
the students entered their respective seats, Izual stood out,
wondering where to sit. As less and less students remain standing, it
started getting more awkward but Izual remained expression. Dr.
Crowler stayed from his teaching place and noticed the new Ra student
just standing there.
"Hey!" said Crowler, as he looked at the
student, then pulled a paper from his pocket that had the name of the
new students. "Izual, is it? Yeah, sit next to Jasmine." Jasmine
smile as Izual walked towards his seat and Crowler started lecturing.
He looked to his side and noticed Jasmine, and looked at her. She
looked at him back, tilting her head to the side.
"I like your hair style. It's pretty." said Izual. She laughed a bit.
"Thanks, I like your hat." said Jasmine. Izual moved his hand to his hat.
"It's not that great." said Izual.
"Yeah it is." said Jasmine as she moved Izual's hand off his hat and took it.
"Hey give it back" said Izual, his face showing finally showing some expression. Jasmine smiled as she pulled the farther.
"C'mon try and get it." said Jasmine, playfully. Izual moved closer to Jasmine to take the hat. He got closer but she extended her hand to the side. "Too slow." Izual groaned. He tilted his chair to the side to grab a quick speed bonus which allowed to him catch his hat. However, as Izual inclined to the side, the chair slipped, making Izual's head fall on Jasmine's lap as the chair hit the floor, making a loud. Everybody turned to look at them while Dr. Crowler stopped his lecture.
"Do you require assistance, Mr. Izual? If you continue this, then I will be forced to give you a DETENTION!" shouted Dr. Crowler as Izual quickly recovered, taking a look at the deeply red Jasmine. He picked up the chair and sat down and let out a sigh.
Meanwhile, the rare-hunter cloaked figure sat on the top of a cliff of the island. He threw a rock and it took some time as it fell and splashed the water. He pulled out a beautiful pink water lily and looked at it. A tear fell from his eye as it slowly fell on the water lily, splashing some of water that was already on the lily. "I won't fail…" said the figure as he let the lily fall, slowly falling towards the water, falling perfectly on the thrashing sea. The waves crashed against the lily, knocking it against the wall and crushing it as the rare-hunter stood up and left.
