Randy looked upset as he entered The Sorcerer's lair.

"Ninja?" The Sorcerer asked.

"What?" Randy nearly growled.

The Sorcerer was in a shock a little bit. "Are you mad I stanked someone? I thought you were fine with it because I can't con-"

"No, I'm not mad you, Sorcerer." Randy said. "I'm mad at Howard. He lied to...Randy."

"From what I know about him, that doesn't seem like something he wouldn't do." The Sorcerer said. "Though he and those other two lucky you were in the old gym...but, what were you doing there?"

"Well a-actually...I uh...I was...I got lost." Randy said. His thoughts were going wild with self hate talk of:

Are you crazy!? You almost told The Sorcerer who you were!

You were lucky he didn't catch on that you were one of them and you almost told him you shoob!

The Nomicon would kill you if you'd told him! You'd probably lose your mask or something!

"The way to get there is very specific, how could you end up there by chance?"

"Okay, I followed them! I didn't want them to get killed or something! What kind of hero would I be if I just let them go down there by themselves?" Randy thought of quickly.

"I see...so is this Randy kid also your best friend?"

"Y-yeah you could say that." Randy said, looking away slightly.

The Sorcerer misunderstood his uneasiness. "Let me guess. He's not really your friend, he's Howards'. And you think that he prefers hanging out with him to you."

"Y-yeah." Randy lied. "He hangs out with him more than me. That's who you usually see him with. I-I don't have classes with him, so we only hang out, outside of school."

"I see..." The Sorcerer said. "But you usually hang out with me after school."

"I told you, weekends are our time." He said.

"Does, Randy ever show up to these things?" The Sorcerer said Randy's name like it was something vile.

Randy couldn't help feeling offended by this, even thought he knew The Sorcerer was doing this to make him feel better.

"Luckily no. That Shoob is always busy on the weekends."

"Shoob? Kids these days, your jargon is so odd." The Sorcerer commented. "I want to know more of it."

"Maybe some other time, I have to go." Randy said.

"Alright then, Ninja."

…..

When Randy got home he pulled out The Nomcion. It was glowing like usual. He opened it.

The identity of The Ninja is not something to flaunt around

"I wasn't! I lied and hid my identity! Listen, I'm getting a lot of knowledge from him-"

Curiosity may give you the knowledge you seek, but it can also cause great pain.

Randy groaned. "Nomcion you've told me this lesson way to many times! I get it! Now stop!"

The Nomcion made lightning appear and kicked him out.

Randy frowned at it and went to bed.
