Suspicion

Chapter 7

[Suspicion]

It was the following day. Things went back to normal. I was walking all the way to the school. Once I arrived at the gate I was once more greeted by Stella. But something was different. Her previous long silver hair is now short and only reaches all the way to the back of her shoulders. 

I asked her. 

she asked me. I wasn't experienced in complimenting girls. But I just had to be honest. I told her with a smile. She smiled back at me. We then walked in the gate together. 

When we arrived at her room a lot of people looked at us. Especially Kyle. He looked at me as if he was suspicious of my relationship with Stella. But I was also suspicious about him. What is his cult about? 

Before I could attract any more attention I decided to take my leave. Once I got to my classroom I was greeted by a hug from a teary Hina.

she said. Although I didn't have my emotions anymore I've been trying really hard to smile ever since I met Hina and Stella. I smiled. I said to her. 

As I looked around it seemed like everyone was here. Everyone except for us who went to school the other day looked rather nervous. I immediately knew why. It was because they didn't get their ranking. 

Ranking meant everything for Elites. The higher your ranking is the better treatment you get. I was lucky to be an A-Rank. The bell rang. Something was unusual. Mr. Julius still hasn't arrived yet. The last few days he would either be early or right on time. But he still hasn't arrived. 10 minutes have passed. He still wasn't here.

"Does it have something to do with what happened yesterday?" I thought to myself. 

I then noticed a guy looking at me. It was the guy who was obsessed with Hina. Another suspicious person seemed to have interest in me. Although I don't know what this guy wants I bet it's as ridiculous as Kyle's request.

I looked away from him. Someone then went into the room. It was the principal. she said. As soon as the principal left everyone started screaming happily. One student stood up and suggested we go to the pool. Everyone agreed, except for me of course because I just wanted to be at peace. Plus if I said I didn't want to I'd be the only one. That would just make things even weirder for me.

All of them are now gone. I was the only one left in the classroom. I was surprised that even Hina went to the pool. But maybe this is a chance for her to open up a little to other people.

It was quiet in the room. My arms started vibrating like last time. Luckily no one was in the room so I just let it be. Suddenly my gauntlets appeared. Looking at it closely now it looked like a dragon's claw. Pure black in color and a little bit of red in the tips of the sharp claw like fingers that looked like blood stains.

Although it looked heavy it was really light. Well I don't know if it's the same for the others though. After a few minutes it then disappeared. I don't really know why my overdrive gear is acting up like that. I said. I then went outside and walked through the hallway. As I was walking down the hallway I saw that the other classes were still in their rooms having lectures. One guy from Class-B then saw me. He had an envious look on his face before looking away.

"So it is just Mr. Julius who isn't here today." I thought. I then realized that no duels had started yet. Although I doubt that this type of day will last. I got to the garden. No one was there. I went to the bench where I sat last time. I took a seat. I said. However after a few minutes Hina arrives with two girls by her side. 

she said out loud. 

she said. 

I replied.

Dimensional beasts as its name suggests is a beast that came from another dimension. They can be tamed and be something like your pet. 

There is only one way to get one, and that is to go through a portal. The easiest way to go through a portal is to use the ones that are in the school. However it is only limited to students. But also due to this fact the portals are safe. Although the ones for Elites are a bit harder. Everyone can have a dimensional beast Elite or not. But it is easier to get one if you aren't an Elite since all you need to do is to give them food, while if you're an Elite it would be a bit difficult since you need to show them you are worthy of owning them. However the dimensional beasts won't kill you, they will only knock you out, unless you go through an own portal.

An own portal is a personal portal that only a few will buy. Sure it has more powerful dimensional beasts than a school portal, but that also means it has more dangerous dimensions. 

No one actually knows how this kind of technology was created. 

she said as a bird like figure started to appear behind each one of them. It was a space bird. It was one of the weakest dimensional beasts out there. For now at least since almost every day a new dimension gets discovered.
