"Are you paying for this? It looks expensive!" Damian said, looking at the food on the table.
It was seafood, and that was expensive!
"Of course. I know a student like you does not have money," Vanessa said, chuckling.
"Hey, you don't need to spill that on my face, you know that? Anyway, what do you think about this tournament? Have you watched one before?" Damian asked, grabbing the chopsticks on the table and grabbing some seafood.
"Me? This is my first time in person, but I watched one on TV. The tournament is wild! A sad thing is it is only for you, new students, or else I will participate," Vanessa said.
"I bet you would."
Despite speaking with her, Damian kept looking through the restaurant window. For some reason, the feeling of someone chasing him had yet to disappear, and now he felt someone was watching while he ate.
It was uncomfortable and scary at the same time!
"Who is it?"
Damian thought for a second about asking Vanessa if she was feeling something similar but decided not to and acted as if he did not know someone was following him. Despite Vanessa appearing to be decent, she had once attacked him, so it was better to be careful.
"Are you excited about the rewards, then? I heard this serum is rare, and not even money can buy it," Vanessa said.
That subject was not one Damian liked, that is. Darius promised to get him a serum, but no one could be certain he would keep his word.
"I'm not fighting in the tournament," Damian said.
It took Vanessa off guard, as she was almost certain Damian would participate, "why? Are you alright?"
The first thing that crossed her mind was that Damian was hurt, unable to fight, or something like that.
He had no reason not to try it, even if he was scared. He might have the chance to win; if he did, that would be striking gold! That was what Vanessa thought and what any person would, honestly.
Damian saw it as the perfect opportunity to make Vanessa curious. So he leaned forward, getting closer to her, and said, "I am actually on a mission for The Dawn, my organization, and there is something the leader wants me to do in the city."
He wanted to lure her in, and although she still was not sure, it was evident that it caught her attention, as she gave him a curious look, "a mission? What about?"
Of course, he would not give her too much information, "I can't tell you, sorry. You will have a great time watching the tournament."
She rolled her eyes at that but did not ask any further questions.
-Vanessa: "Damian asked me to join this organization of his. Should I consider it? If the leader is making moves in this city, he must be important because the security here is top-notch!"
They talked and ate dinner, but eventually, Vanessa returned to her room, as she had a few things to do, things Darius asked her. Damian, though, did not return to his room but walked into a desert area of the school with no one around.
Whoever it was that was following was still there and watched his entire dinner with Vanessa and followed him afterward. That made Damian sure that the stalker was only after him and no one else.
"Who could it be? Let's find out!"
Damian ventured into a desert area, and when he did, he used his invisibility cloak, disappearing entirely.
A shadow came to where Damian was previously and looked confused, "where did he go? My tracking ability should not miss!"
The person was a student from Orton's Superhuman School. Someone with black hair, rounded glasses, and facial features no one see as unique. No one would even remember that guy!
"Why is he following me?"
Damian was invisible behind the guy and used his Slime Ring to create a slime hammer.
"Ass hole, eat this," Damian said as he deactivated his invisibility and hit the student in the head with the hammer.
It knocked him out, but Damian did not hit him that hard, as he did not want a dead body. Then, he made the man float with this Telekineses, getting it close to him to make him invisible too!
He returned to his room in the hotel, tied the stalker student with some ropes, and covered his mouth with a piece of cloth.
"Let's find out what he knows after he wakes up!"
Damian used his Slime Ring to create that mask again and changed his clothing using the slimes too, making it look darker, his identity as Dawn, the leader of The Dawn, an organization that would shake the world one day!
After staying unconscious for twenty minutes, the student slowly opened his eyes and was scared to see that strange figure before him! He could not understand it!
-Tied Student: "I cannot understand it! I was following a specific student that guy told me to, yet someone else found me, and now I am trapped here!a�? Will I die for it? No, hell no!"
"So you are finally awake," Damian said, and his voice was not the same as it once was.
The Slime Ring could also alter his vocal cords, which was freaking awesome!
"There are two ways for this to go. One, I will torture you, and you will beg to die, or you will gladly not resist as I search your mind. What will you want? Nod once for the first option and two for the second."
Damian's mental ability improved, especially after he bought that passive ability. However, it was still hard to read the memories of someone, so he tried to make the student lower his defenses and give up trying.
Perhaps it was the creepy mask and outfit, or the student was too scared of dying, but he nodded twice, opening up the path for Damian to uncover the truth.
"Let's see why this guy was following me!"
