S3 Chapter 9

"Well now that you have agreed to take responsibility, will you give me a kiss?" Simon asked.

"Not so fast, you pervert. Well, um….why don't we start with dating," Jenifer replied shyly.

"Sure," Simon replied.

She then helped him up and then they went out where the trio was waiting for them.

"How long were you planning to make us wait?" asked Kayden.

"I'm so sorry," Simon apologised.

"Well, so what's the deal between you two," Kayden asked as he pointed at Jenifer.

"Well, she is my girlfriend," Simon replied shyly.

"Whoa, got a girlfriend so soon?" Kayden asked.

"Well, not as soon as you though," Simon replied teasingly.

Jenifer then became a part of their group. Then they headed to the other dorms with their classmates to collect toffees.

They had a lot of fun. But suddenly the electricity was gone and at last at 10 PM they all returned to the dormitory.

The first one to enter the dorm was Simon. He went inside first because he was in a rush to bath.

But when he entered the dorm, he heard a weird sound coming from the living room.

So he ran towards the living room to see what that noise was. When he entered the living room, he saw that the TV was on.

But there was no signal and it only showed glitches.

"Um, Kayden, is the electricity back?" he shouted.

"No," came the reply from outside. He turned around to look at the TV.

Suddenly the glitching stopped and the TV screen showed a joker sitting on a chair.

Simon looked intensely at what was going on. Suddenly the joker's face turned towards him.

As the joker looked at him, a wide smile appeared on his face. The smile widened as its shadow suddenly popped out of the screen.

Simon was so scared that he suddenly bounced backwards and ran out of the dorm with all of his might.

When Kayden saw him rushing out of the dorm in a hurry he asked him, "What happened, Simon? Why are you in a hurry?"

Simon rushed out to him and yelled, "Help! Help! Help me."

"Hey, hey, calm down. Calm down and tell me what exactly happened. Ok?" Kayden added.

"There…the TV," Simon said as he breathed heavily.

"Jenifer, Jenifer, give him some water," Kayden shouted.

Jenifer immediately brought the water bottle they had brought along and handed it over to Simon.

Simon gulped up a whole lot of water and then spoke, "When I entered the dorm I heard some weird sound coming from the living room. So I went ahead and to check what that noise was.

When I entered the living room, I saw that the TV was on. But when I asked you if the electricity had returned, you said that the electricity hadn't returned.

I was scared when I heard you say that. Because… because the TV, it was on the whole time and at the beginning it showed nothing except a no-signal sign.

But then, the glitch slowly lessened and I saw the face of a joker on the screen. At first I thought that it was normal and that the electricity was back but then the joker's face suddenly turned towards me and....and," he stuttered.

"What happened? Come on tell me," Kayden asked out of curiosity.

"The joker's shadow popped out of the screen," Simon replied.

"Pfft. Hahaha. Are you kidding, Simon?" asked Kayden as he couldn't control his laughter.

"Hey, I'm serious. This is no joke," Simon replied.

"When Kayden heard him say that he was shocked. How could something like this happen? He thought.

"Come on. Let's see what's going on," Kayden said as he led the others to the living room.

There the TV was on as simony had said. But there was nothing on the screen except for a 'no signal' sigh.

"Simon, what kind of joke is this? There's nothing on the screen. It's just that there's no signal," Kayden asked him.

"But…but… I swear I saw it just now," Simon added.

"He's right, fellas," came a voice from around. The kids were shocked.

They looked around to see who it was. "Where are you looking at? I'm right here," repeated the voice.

They all looked towards the direction, the voice was coming at. It was indeed coming from the TV.

They looked at the TV which now showed the telecast of a person. He was looking like a joker.

"What's a joker doing in the TV?" asked one of them.

"Hey, how arrogant of you! I'm no joker. I'm the villain, Gentle Joker," the joker on screen replied.

"Haha, he is indeed a joker. And…and he even says that he's not a joker. Hahaha," another kid replied.

At the same time, Jenifer came to the living room and asked, "Hey, what is happening here?"

"It's nothing. It's just a silly joker who calls himself Gentle Joker," replied Kayden.

They were about to laugh when they were interrupted by Gentle Joker.

"Hey, how dare you ignore me? Don't you know who I am?" Gentle Joker said.

"Nope. Never heard of you," Kayden replied.

"What?" Gentle Joker freaked out.

At that moment Simon interrupted. "Hey, he's the famous rank 30 villain," Simon said.

Whaaat? The others were all freaked out except for Kayden. They hadn't expected this funny looking joker to be the world's No.5 villain.

"What does this mean?" asked Kayden.

"Huh?" the joker was confused. "What's your purpose of doing this?" Kayden added.

"I'm here to inform you all that the great Mutant Hero Academy has been hijacked by me. Today is going to be the last day of the academy. Hahaha," the joker started laughing.

"What kind of joke is this? How can someone hijack the academy in the presence of All Might?" Emily spoke.

"This is no joke, my dear. My comrades are already busy handling him. So now there's no one to protect the academy," the joker continued.

To be continued....
