Sixth chapter

After the girls left, Alison pulled a strange necklace out of her pockets. I didn't know what he was going to do with it so I ignored it, but he went over to my side.

-I think this can help you.

-A necklace?

-It can show your current state, if you are seriously injured or very sick.

The truth seemed like a joke of his, but he was a serious person, he would never make a joke of that category.

—Y..... How will I know if I'm sick.

-I have another one, if something happens to you, this one will change color.

I don't know where I would have gotten that, but I listened to him, and I kept it in my briefcase.

-You must have it on, you must not take it off.

-Mmm, okay, but where did you get this?

-For now, I won't tell you.

Alison ignored me, and didn't answer me anymore.

I looked at that strange necklace, it looked more like a crystal, deformed and with nothing in particular. It seemed like a lie what Alison was telling me, but well, I was going to try to believe her more or less.

The following week there was a meeting in the square with the three high school courses.

Only murmurs are heard. Snaider appeared and with a serious tone he called names to all those involved, and told them to introduce themselves to management.

In that office was Alison, some of her class and almost all of Class 1. The director let the course where they were most involved go in first, one by one everyone went in, then everyone from class 2 who was there, the last one was Alison.

When he entered the principal's office, he found a mature man with black hair, black eyes, some beard and some gray hair.

Quite angry, he looked at him and said.

- How can one person cause so much damage to a school facility by challenging almost half the class? The damage is not only material and physical, but what you did was challenge an entire system created to have everyone in classrooms that will fit their abilities and avoid making power differences so visible, but you have the standard of a 2 year old. I have your admission results here. I really don't know what to do with you. I was thinking about this incident, I should expel you and there would be no problem, but the strange thing is that several people interceded for you, however you will be suspended for 2 weeks, plus you will have to pay a fine, and you will have to do community service.

The director showed you the figure to be paid for the damages caused in the event room, which would also have to be paid by the others involved and noted what happened at the time on your record.

- You can leave now and from today you will have to do the community service," said the director.

Luan's point of view

The room was a little empty with about 8 people missing including Alison, everyone said the most likely to have been expelled, Representative Saul asked for a group to go and ask the director not to expel him, well he is one of the best freshmen. The school currently participates in those games, and for him to be expelled will not be convenient for the next years, we discussed that for a while, until at the break time we went to the principal's office and he immediately spoke to us.

-If they come for Alison, he was not expelled, just suspended for 2 weeks

We were all surprised, he just looked at us, and he already knew which room we were from, and why we were there.

Two weeks was a lot, and worse being the beginning of school.

- It was either that or being expelled," the man told us, who saw us pensive

We could not tell him anything else, he had already been clear and with his look he would be telling us.

- They are not the only ones who asked not to expel him-he added before we left.

After this we went to the cafeteria and in the hallway we found the suspension notices and just as he said, Alison had been suspended for 2 weeks.

Everyone was whispering things, I just hoped the weeks would go by quickly.

When I returned to the classroom, Saul and the rest began to plan how to teach Alison what we would see in each class, and we came to the conclusion that the people who understood the most would teach her, no one opposed the idea, exactly three weeks later the first expedition would be made.

Being the closest to Alison I went to look for him near the gardens where I was told he might be.

And I saw him in a gardener's suit, he looked a little strange.

- What are you doing here, Luan," he told me, when he realized that I was there.

-I just came to talk to you and explain what the salon will do to help you.

-Don't worry about me," he answered.

-I said.

I saw the right moment to ask him why he had been helping me.

-Alison, tell me why you're helping me.

He was serious about me, and he put his hand on his head, it was unusual, it was as if he doubted what he was going to tell me was true.

-Well, I made a bet with some people, about you, that's why.

-About me? .... -What is it about?

-You must pass the national test, that's all.

-Wait, when did you bet that?

In between my words Alison for a moment, she avoided looking at me again.

-I understand, I responded quickly when she stopped paying attention to me.

All of a sudden he pounced on me.

He was on top of me.

We were both on the ground.

-He was on top of me. Alison- what's going on?

He didn't answer me and I saw a cut on his arm.

He got up quickly and grabbed my arm, I didn't understand what was happening.

- I didn't understand what was happening.

I looked back and saw three people in another school uniform.

I understood that something had been thrown at us and Alison prevented me from being hurt.

We both walked away from that place and arrived at one of the coliseums.

- Can't you fight them?

-Because of their height and maturity they look like third graders, I can't fight against several students from a higher grade, although it might buy you time to look for a teacher.

He was right, but he looked a little pale, I think he was losing his strength at that moment.

-I can't leave you alone, you look a little bad, maybe that's why they threw, apparently I had something.

-It's better that you don't get hurt, because of problems, I can hold on, you're used to it.

-Don't be stubborn-I grabbed him by the shoulder and tried to get to the blocks where we were receiving classes, but they caught up with us. They were in front of us.

-What do they want," asked Alison.

-Lombardi says hello," said one of the subjects.

I started to wonder about that name, I thought I heard it somewhere else, but the situation didn't give me time to think about it anymore.

One of the subjects moved so fast that I couldn't quite see when he arrived, and tried to hit Alison in the face, but he crossed his arms to avoid taking all the impact.

The other guy was not far behind and almost at the same time he hit him in the stomach and he did manage to hit him.

Alison fell to her knees.

-Stand up," one of the boys said.

They seemed to really want to hurt Alison; it wasn't just a fight.

I thought about going to get help, but it might be too late. I took a dagger I had and attacked one of them from behind.

He was screaming and touching his back, trying to get it off. It was a moment where I was afraid. I had never done anything like that before, but I wasn't going to leave my partner there, suffering a beating.

When the subject saw what I had done, he elbowed me in the neck, fell to the ground and kicked me in the head in retaliation for what he had done to his partner, took my arm and smashed it against one of the walls.

Alison was just recovering from the blow she had received, the subject realized this and went to finish him off, forgetting about me.

-It's nothing personal, but he's very upset about your boldness. Let this be a warning to you that bureaucrats are not to be trifled with.

I draw a sword and point it at his hand.

Alison stood up and wrestled with the man. The man responded by trying to choke him with both hands, and they both dropped the weapon.

In this way, Alison began to lose consciousness, little by little.

While this was happening, I stood up and took off a necklace, which was shaped like a sharp crystal.

And I embedded it in her arm.

He immediately let go of Alison and with his other arm he hit me in the face.

I stood up.

- You don't feel anything, you should be writhing in pain from the arm.

And he took off his collar as he was bleeding.

-I better cut your hand to see if you feel anything.

He took that sword and turned to me.

And suddenly a watchman appeared at the door, watched what was happening and called out to someone.

The guy with the sword grabbed his partner who seemed very affected by his wounds, and they ran out of the coliseum.

Alison tried to get up and looked at me, then I saw that everything started to turn black.
