Suspicions (Part 1)
CHRIS
My friends were already in our second class, while I was just walking along the Hallway of the Lawyer's Building because our teacher, Miss Avi had asked me to do something.I was very unfortunate because she saw me and ordered me to feed her cat. I don't know about that woman, she's so weird.When I arrived in the classroom, all my classmates were already there. Fortunately, our terror teacher, Mrs. Darlene Roque, Dave’s sister was not yet there."What took you so long?" Monica whispered."I've fixed some things," I replied, just in time before Prof. Darlene arrived."Good Morning. So your subject today is 'Enhancing Observation Skills'. I want you all to stand up and say something about Objective Observation Using Pertinent Negative. The one who can't answer, won't sit down. Clear?"We all just said yes even though it was against our will. It was just the first day and yet our brains were tortured. What more inRelated chapters

CHRIS"Hack the system," Dave said as if it's not a big deal."WHAT?" we simultaneously questioned."Shhh! Be quiet. I need to know the background information regarding her family to prove my deductions.""Not allowed!" Eroll clearly exclaimed his disapproval."Do you seriously want us to get expelled?" Monica seconded."Chris, what do you think?" he asked me."I don't want to get involved in that mess," I replied honestly."But you said a while ago that the system is not working properly, hence, it would be easier for you to hack it."Now, this is the perk of being a computer geek. It would involved you in a mess."I'll take care of my older brother when we get caught," he added, really serious at persuading me to do it."Just make sure we won't get expelled, Dave," Monica warned."Sure. I won't. Just trust me, guys.""Fine I'll do it," I told them and that widened Dave's smile."What? Wa

ZANAYA Being 3rd rank was also good because of the additional allowance provided by the academy every month. Without it, I would surely starved to death. I never thought I would be able to survive forty-eight hours in this school, and during those hours, nothing bad was happening except for the four class leaders who had been suspicious of my actions. I know, I don't deserve that 3rd rank, but I shouldn't be blamed because of that. I don’t know how that happened either. All I want was to hide from my parents. I know it's a form of cowardice, but still, I need to do it. "Zanaya, I'm hungry. Let's go to the Café," Arya pleaded. When we entered the Cafe, the aroma of tea and coffee engulfed me, as well as the smell of freshly baked cake. It reminds me of home. There were already lots of customers and only a few spaces were left. "Zanaya, let's just grabbed something to eat in the canteen, because the E4s ar

ZANAYA"Huh?" Lia asked in surprise. "Why do you suspect us? We are her friends. We can't do that.""Just because you're her friend, doesn't mean you can't hold a grudge against her and plan to kill her," Chris contradicted Lia."It takes a few minutes before Potassium Cyanide takes effect. And since you're with Kelly for the remaining minutes of her life, you're our primary suspects," Eroll divulged."W-Wait, what's our motive for killing her?" Cherry contemplated. "We're not going to just poison her for no reason, are we?""And besides, Kelly is a good friend," Sofia added."Right, it's impossible for us to have the intention to kill her," Lia seconded."You four are in the Lawyer Section, Sub-1, right?" Monica asked while pointing to their ID lace where their section was printed on it. "And based on Kelly's appearance and posture earlier, she's probably your first rank."The three of them nodded."And you're ne

DAVEAfter what happened at the Cafe, the six of us headed straight to Detective Headquarters. Yes, we're six. I don't know why Monica thought of inviting a loud girl and a witch.The Detective Section has their own headquarters where they could train and accept cases from students. It was where meetings were usually held and secrets were kept."Hey, Lopez. If you want to go out, then you can go now," I said sharply when I noticed that she was not comfortable."Dave, can you set aside the dispute between the two of you first, they are here to help us. And besides, Arya's knowledge of codes might help us as well," countered Monica."The message from Bermuda was only intended for us, not them.""Hey, I read that it's for all of us," Arya said as she folded her arms on her chest clearly annoyed by what I said."She's right, Dave," Chris replied. "We should accept their help."I could do nothing but keep quiet. Five againt

DAVEI took the letter and laid it on the table. Eroll and Arya also stopped even the others approached me.“Get a sheet of paper and a pen,” I commanded them.Chris immediately picked it up and handed it to me."Eroll, do you remember the codes that you used to send to our classmates before?""Ah, is that so? Of course. Mine is the hardest to decode," he said arrogantly.Chris laughed because of that. Even I laughed slightly."You're thick, brad! That's easy. You don't need a detective to find out the answer," Chris replied."Huh? It's not. You almost bleed your nose from answering it.""Sshhh! That's enough. As I was saying, we will use your style to decode it," I told them."How can you be sure that's right?" the witch questioned.She really doesn't trust me. Let's just see if she has anything else to say after I decode that freaking letter.“We just need to count the letters fr

ARYAMy head really hurt from that coded message. He could have just said that someone abducted him, then we could have saved him earlier. That letter tortured my brain.There was an added mystery when the Student Council President called Zanaya's second name.Why does he know Zanaya? Have we been trapped? Has Zanaya's identity been revealed? Oh no!Or maybe he's Zan's boyfriend? Aish! Whatever it was, maybe Zanaya would tell me later.We were currently in the Infirmary today. We brought the Student Council President aka Nico here because he suddenly fainted earlier after he mentioned the name ‘Reign’.It's just weird because I could clearly see the concern on Zanaya's face when Nico lost his consciousness. I'm sure there's something behind those looks. Zan wouldn't be so worried if she wasn't close to someone.Speaking of feeling close ...E4 was also here in the infirmary. They said, they were concerned a

ARYAZanaya approached him. "Hey, I thought you're in a one week leave?""I'm just bored in the dorm too so I went in," he replied."We have to go then," Dave whispered and headed outside. We all followed him.Arriving at the Lab, the smoke caused by the explosion could still be seen."A chemist died in the laboratory," Nico informed us as we entered the scene of the explosion. "The problem is, we don't know who did it.""Was the explosion the cause of his death?" Dave asked."I do not know.""Haven't the medics made a cause of death report yet?""Actually, they said, they will not do it anymore because it is obvious that the explosion is the reason," explained Nico."Can we see the corpse? And please call the medics to do a report about the cause of death," Dave ordered.Seriously? Why did he even want to see the dead?Once inside, we saw the prostrate body of a man. Fire burned half of his body an

CHRIS"I am going to teach you another cipher today," Ms. Avi began.Here we are again with the nose-bleeding ciphers. This was a brain-drying activity."Who among you is familiar with the Skytale Cipher?" she asked.Skytale Cipher?I think I heard that. But I am not so familiar about it.Arya suddenly raised her hand."Yes, Agent 498."She stood up very confidently before speaking, "Skytale Cipher is a transposition type. Suppose the rod allows one to write four letters around in a circle and five letters down the side of it.""And how can we decrypt that?" she threw a follow-up question then walked in front.I think she had a plan to ask a lot of questions today."To decrypt, all one must do is wrap the leather strip around the rod and read across," another confident answer from her sister.Obviously she already knew that.After Arya answered, she sat down and returned to her conversation wit
