Chapter 94: My Housemaster

                    ***MY HOUSEMASTER***

"That black magician of a boy called Kunle always swim with magic, he had only won all his swimming competitions employing fraud, there is a leave he always chews before the competition, this will make him faster than any normal swimmer, hahaha... Little did he know that he was not competing with a normal sweeper, he competed with a true Aquabeing. Oh, what an honor it is to be in the same class with you my prince."

All that he was saying was seen as a word of a crashed man who might have secretly had an excessive intake of marijuana. Before he could even finish with his words he was rushed by the security personnel and immediately they bundled him out, where they took him we did not know, but we got intel that he was taken to a hospital, we even heard that he got himself on the way to the hospital. 

Well, the celebration continued without him, though it kind of dulled the moment, the rate at which the jubilation was going earlier after the swimming was reduced by his exhibition. Well all thanks to him, no one was running after me like before, and at least I now got the chance to be with my Cynthia, the reason for my competing in this competition which turned into a huge rivalry.

I was with my beautiful Cynthia and the Super Cee, they were so happy for me, they kept jumping and chanting my name, oh, Charity can be very loud if she wants, her voice kept echoing on and on "Damian the Merman! Damian the Merman!" She did this till all the school joined in the chanting. I felt so good, I felt like one super celebrity as my name was been chanted on and on.

After everything had been put together. The principal stood before the podium and started with his usual long speech. He said:

"I feel that this year's tournament has been a very successful one. We have seen many new athletes and changes, not forgetting the new committee that was set up to see the success of this year's game. It's even clear that for three years we will finally have the pleasure of crowning a new merman, and from next year, will continue to do things in such similar ways so as to ensure the other students that we will be getting different Merman every year of the school.

We have had plenty of other events, that we are now more than used to. Including, welcoming of the FCT Minister, The student week, and house competitions, like, match pass, race, and others. We are also yet to have our prom night which comes once every year after the end of the tear party.

Doing things together as a school is what I find the most important thing about the way we do things here. That is why the Friday fellowships are always well attended and important. The thing that I personally enjoyed about the Friday's fellowship, is the fact that everyone is expected to attend, I very much enjoyed it, praying with you students, the teachers, and our coup members who assist us. Like the saying goes "the family that prays together stays together ".

Having said all this, we can see that we have had the opportunity, this year, to do many things together, and we also have produced a whole new merman this year. And together, along with the staff body, had managed to reach many new targets and achievements.

Finally, I would like to Welcome to the podium our new Merman!"

So he said and all the students cheered for me as my form master ran in search of me.

"What is your problem? Why didn't you give attention to the principal's invitation of you to the podium? And you this three, will you grant the poor boy a little freedom?"

So my housemaster said as he found me with the super Cee, without any hesitation I followed him and he said to me again after we had left their super Cee.

"My champ, do you realize what was said about the love for money?"

He asked.

"Hmm... That it is the root of all evil?"

I responded.

"Exactly, now I yearn to tell you another one. Do you comprehend the root of the downfall of man? Do you? Hmm... Well, it is the love for women! So be cautious, and you know you are good-looking, so note that they will keep flocking, and once they start flocking around you, just know and remember that if they don't make you, then they must definitely break you."

So he was actually telling me this was my confusion, he held me on the hand and walked me to the stage like an elder will hold a kid to cross the road.

Once we got there, he retracted a bit to the place where he stood watching and smiling, feeling so proud of himself, even I who won the Merman title was not as excited as he was. He kept telling his colleagues that it was his hard work that made me that good at swimming.

"Hahahaha, it was not an easy task for him, but he is lucky to have a coach like me, I drilled him daily for a complete one year, the boy also had my persistent spirit, he want to win, so do I, so, this was our drive."

He said in a manner that I found hilarious. Well, it was ok by me, he even helped me in answering any questions that I could not have been able to answer, so, I'm glad he is quite a big mouth. The journalist kept on insisting on the possibility for me to swim that fast after my long time delay beneath the pool, but he kept replying to them, he said it was very possible, according to him, he took me to the Olympic swimmers to practice with them, he even said that I practiced every day of my life for almost a year. "So... Why do you speculate it's impossible? Where is the impossibility? No, show me, indicate to me the impossibly, nothing is impossible my dear, the only impossible thing is that thing which no one has attempted. Even the work impossible screams I'm Possible." So he said and the big mouths of the journalists were short automatically.
