Chapter 20_Teacher Hunter

When the senior stepped aside for one of the girls that danced the other day, shouts erupted from those who were her fans in the school.

"Hello supernatural babies!" She screamed in a girly tone.

"Hello senior Leslie!" Some of the other seniors shouted. It seemed she was a final year senior or maybe not.

"Y'all know the deal, you know what we do in my team. You think you have got talents on how to sing and dance come join my group now. Let's sway them with magical dances and songs!" She twisted her body and stepped away for another person.

I turned to the girls. "Anyone interested in singing and dancing?"

"No!" They said while they rolled their eyes.

"I think I will join" I said with uncertainty.

I could sing and dance and I was very good at it but I wasn't sure about joining though.

"Can you sing?" Mackenzie turned to me.

"And dance?" Mia added.

"Wait and see" I said to them.

Another senior addressed us " Good day guys, we ride horses in my team. If you can ride horses well then do well by joining my team, we need you to win the competition" he said briefly and was sent off by numerous applauses.

When the senior returned back to where he was standing, I followed him with my eyes and watched him stand amidst the others. And then, I saw him. His face glued to a book, his concentration was not here at all but fixated on the book in his hands.

I said I was going to pair him up with Cassandra, I knew what I was saying. If only he wasn't such a jerk I would have truly paired them up.

I was talking about the annoying jerk who stood amongst the other seniors who were addressing us.

He stood with his hands entwined in front of him and slowly he stepped forward. His approach was welcomed with various screams from girls. Both the seniors and juniors.

"Hey look, it's him" Mia pulled my cloth.

I shrugged her off " I saw him Mia, I told you I do not have a crush on him either so please do stop disturbing me" I said sternly.

"Whatever" she pouted.

"There would be a quiz part in the competition where minds, brains and hearts will be tested. If you are confident enough about yourself and you know you have a rare brain with high IQ. A brain that reads more than it has written, a brain that can process numerous information and still remember them when being asked. I am saying if you have a distinctive retentive brain then please do join us. We need you, who knows, you might make it to the finals" he concluded.

"I love you senior Katz!"

"No one can be as smart as you!

"Please look at me for once!" Were all the shouts that ensued from the crowd following the applauses that followed his retreating self.

Look at him showing off that he was smart, smartness doesn't make good grades here.

I pouted at him even though l know he wasn't going to see or hear me.

"Medusa, if you don't want him please give him to me then. Why is he so hot! Smart guys are so attractive " Mia shrieked.

I was standing in the middle of the girls before. Mia was on my right while Mackenzie was on my left but Mia was irritating me with her words, speaking highly of the annoying jerk so, l went to stand beside

Mackenzie. Leaving Mackenzie in the middle. She can deal with Mia's rantings not me. Especially when her rantings were about favoring the annoying jerk.

The other seniors came out and introduced their teams one after the other as the excited students cheered them on.

The last team leader came out to address us. He was dressed so fancily just like a superhero with his black leather jean which had a short cape over it." This is the central and most important part of the competition. It is what everyone that came as spectators contemplates on the most. It is the journey of the mind" the shouts, screams and whistling that erupted stopped the senior and he paused.

I was expecting all black to be here anytime soon.

The senior waved his hand up to signify to the noisy gathering to allow him talk. "It is the most crucial part of the competition. It is where the strongest minds will be tested. I don't want people with talents in my team, I want unique people. People with distinct features. Please take note, before you are allowed access to my group, you take tests which

will prove you are worthy enough to be in the group" he finalized. The screams from the senior students this time around was the loudest amongst all.

I guess this whole mind game part was a big deal. I suddenly felt attracted to that particular game. My only concern was that I had no unique features, I do not even have my abilities yet. I was not even 18 yet so, I shook of any deceitful thoughts that was giving me chills that i could join the group.

I wouldn't even be able to join, I was sure I would fail the entrance test.

"I'm joining " I and Mia heard Mackenzie's voice say beside us.

Yes, she could join, she was the powerful one not me. She proved to us and showed us she was indeed skillful and gifted.

Her determination and the way she approached life was also something I could not beat. Yes, Mackenzie would win, I was Sure.

The black slimy sludge thing that rouse from the ground and transformed into a man announced the arrival of All black. It was about time.

He licked his pinky when he transformed to his human self. That was the second time

would I see him do that after transforming into his human form.

Well, this was actually the second time I would see him perform his irritating ability.

Everyone went silent at the sight of him. When he was done being so irritating, he stood at the middle of the whole students gang thing.

"Enough now, you all can learn more in your groups. Go to classes now, you wouldn't want your teachers to get to class before you. Especially those who have me supervising them this morning "he said sternly before walking away.

We all scurried to our classes. It was only the seniors that were not rushing back. The rest of us were rushing like thieves being chased by police dogs.

Luckily for us, the teacher was not in class yet. We all went to our seats, everyone having discussions about the competition.

Teacher Hunter's appearance commanded decorum and we all kept quiet.

Teacher Hunter was a man in his late thirties. He was a man but his appearance, aura, and energy was like that of a female. He had this feminine ginger to him, even his hair was styled in a center part and had a body wave hair texture. He so slim and had a flat chest that I was sure if he go shirtless, one would meet a pack of bone instead of flesh.

I was certain I wasn't the only one noticing his strange appearance as the whole class went silent and I knew it was not a silence birthed by fearing him but one of hypocrisy at the funny outlook of him.

"Hello class, I am Hunter, Taking you on defense. As magical students, you need to be able to learn to defend yourselves. You will be exposed to various threats from the inside people, outside forces, mystical creatures that you can not begin to comprehend. But in this class, we will ignore the outside forces for now as you will not be going on missions yet. But there is no guarantee you would not be attacked by mystical creatures." he got straight to the point.

Suddenly, "You, come out" we heard him call out.

Everyone turned their heads to discover him motioning to a lad who also seemed surprised he was also being called on to.

The lad walked out and stood beside the teacher in front of the class.

"Tell the class what you did wrong " he said to the obviously confused lad.

"I am not 18 yet" the boy said after racking his brain for any possible wrong he might have done.

"Then, I guess I did wrong for not being 37 yet" the teacher said to him sarcastically.

What?

He was not 37 yet?I knew it!

He looked young and I knew he must be in his late thirties.

The youngest teacher I've come across in the school so far.

The whole class burst into a short laughter.

"I...I spoke to a friend while you're talking sir, I'm sorry." The fellow said shakily and pleaded.

The teacher tilted his head " You did? I never noticed" he said causing not only the student but also me to get confused.

"I don't know what I did sir" the boy gave up.

Teacher Hunter turned to the class while holding the lad and turning him to face us. "This my friend here, did nothing wrong. At least nothing wrong that I know of because he did confess to talking to his friend while I was teaching and not being 18 yet" he

laughed.

At least he had a sense of humor unlike the other teachers.

He was also weird too. If the lad didn't do anything wrong then what did he mean when he asked the lad to tell him the wrong he did just now. And then saying he did nothing wrong?
