The Results

As the five of them stepped out of the arena, they were met by a group of teachers. "Jenelle, please come with us."

John and Jason realized they were likely going to try to prosecute her for possession of drugs, but it's not like they know what a weed seed looks like. As she followed them into the room, Jason saw some seeds drop out of her inner pocket and then rush out twords them. He quickly picked them up and put them in his left pocket. After a few minutes, Jenelle walked out being quite happy. From what they found, the plants were a mix of a few different plants. The problem was that the plants had all died, and didn't produce any more spores. Because all the students were knocked out, they tried to drug test them. All of them came back negative, and it had Jason and John quite puzzled. After the investigation had mostly completed, the three of them walked over to a nearby Italian restaurant and talked about today's events. Most of their matches were quite easy, except for Jason's run in with the princess of torture. So then John brought up "So what did those plants do?"

Jenelle looked around to make sure no one was listening in, and then began to explain. "So I spliced a few different plants with a weed plants. Normally, the plants would release spores and people who would breath them in would take in a huge amount of THC. I think because I told Jason to hit them with lightning, it gave out a different result. From what the teachers told me, it seemed their body's had a high amount of naturally occurring dopamine in their bodies, but only a few of them had some TCH. Because it wasn't a drug and a developed plant they let me off. I also think they did because of how the preformed the exams which are meant to be followed the same for every school, and they changed the rules of the exams."

After that, they ate and talked about to exams. As the night ended, all three went their seperate ways, and the exams concluded. As John got back to his room, he began to ponder about the next people he would have to face. "My next opponents will surely be much stronger than any one of us. If... When I fight someone stronger than me in terms of sheer power, I need to be able to outsmart and outskill them if possible."

After some much needed theoretical oversight on his next upcoming endeavors, he began to train his basic martial arts skills. He knew he would face someone that even his void energy couldn't stop. After returning to basics for a few hours, he got a phone call from Jason. "Jason, what's the matter. You seem out of breath?"

"Yeah, cause I've been running for the past few minutes. Some of the students didn't take their losses lightly and tried to Zerg assault me. I didn't want to fight back cause I was pretty sure I would have lost due to their sheer numbers."

"At least you got out. Where are you right now?"

"I'm alright, so don't come looking for me. But I think I'ma need to stay at your place tonight. I already know that two of my roommates would surely sell me out, if not attack me."

"Yeah, no problem. If I may suggest, try to come in through the fire escape."

"Yeah...About that. Mind opening your window."

John turned around and saw Jason standing outside his window where the fire escape was. Once he came inside, he set him up on his chair. The room was quite small, around the size of a studio apartment. But it only had a living room, bathroom, with a closet he converted into a basic kitchen. The kitchen had a microwave and a toaster oven. Their was also a small table and two chairs on the other side of the bed, and a T.V opposite to the bed. Sadly he didn't have an air mattress, so Jason had to sleep on the floor. They made sure to raise the fire escape ladder in case people tried to come up that way, along with covering the window with paper. That night, they awoke to a heavy knocking at the door. John and Jason bolted awake to the noise, and John looked through the peep hole. He wispered to Jason, "Stand back, and get ready to shoot some lightning at any moment."

As he opened the door, he was met by the principal and two teachers. "Hello John, may we come in?"

John was honestly dumbfounded why they were coming at 4:54 in the morning. "Sorry to be blunt, by why are you here at 4:54 in the morning and with no previous notice?"

"Sorry about both, but we had to come asap. May we come in?"

"Sure, but it's a bit messy and cramped."

They walked in to find Jason their with his lightning rod and a makeshift bed made from clothes and blankets. "Why is Jason here?"

The principal was surprised, and almost happy. John was a bit too tired to sugar coat stuff, so he blatently said "Because your shitshow of a exam yesterday angered a lot of students, and he got attacked by like forty of them last night." He completely ignored how some of his students tried to gang up on another one and just got straight to the point. "So getting back to focus, you boys will be leaving at six from the school to go to the next level of the exams. I suggest you pack up and head over their as soon as possible."

John by now was truly furious. He completely disregarded about the fact that Jason had been attached, and now wanted them to get ready and leave to the next exam the day after? Unknowingly to John, Jason had already dealt with the three teachers who had entered before because he was so blinded by his rage. So much so that he didn't know they he had already fully engulfed himself in his void energy, and was able to break the illusion of everyone their. The principal was actually someone he had never seen before. By the time he noticed that, he was already at arm's reach and was swinging a large blade towards him. He moved enough just to avoid the slash, grabbed his arm, and broke his elbow and dislocated his shoulder. As her turned to the other supposed teachers, he saw three smoking corpses on the ground. As he turned back to his aggressor, he had already gotten up and tried to swing at him again with his left arm. John easily blocked the blow, and then nocked him out with a hook to the side of his head. As John stepped back and tried to actualize what just happened, his heightened senses were picking up on a few people charging up the stairs. Before Jason could catch his breath, John said "We've got at least four incoming from the stairs. I don't know what we did to warrant these attacks, but it's likely do to us winning yesterday. I suppose that whoever this group is, they might have already dealt with Jenelle is he said so before. Grab what you need and we gotta run!"

Less than ten seconds later, they were already out the fire escape out the back. John knew they couldn't stay to the streets because it was still to early and their wasn't a way for them to hide in the crowds of people. So he opted for running to the only place he knew was safe.
