Jack dashed to the alter and slashed a few rogues that showed up here and there.

Job, who was at the alter holding Delilah by the hair and holding a knife at her neck, said, "What do you think you're doing jack? One more step and am killing her."

"No, please, don't."

"Hahaha. That's more like it boy."

"Jack..." Alex called for help as rogues surrounded him.

Jack was caught in a dilemma about who to save.

Job flashed Jack a sinister smile; "Who will little jack save? His dear brother or his girlfriend."

"Save...save..." Delilah said gasping for air and wincing in pain cause of the bruises on her face, "Save him." she said.

Alex tried defending himself but all was in vain.

A rogue slashed him at his leg with its claws.

And Trevor was forced to kneel on one knee and use his sword for support.

Trevor gritted his teeth in pain seeing the blood flow out of the huge wound on his leg.

Another rogue planted its fangs into Trevor's shoulder.

Jack, watching all that was happening, rushed to save Trevor.

But a sword was plunged into his back gaping out of his check.

He fell to his knees, and spat blood to the floor.

Job walked from behind him and came into his view with Delilah's head.

"No no." Jack cried.

Trevor looked down to his stomach seeing a dark big hand gaping out.

The darkness slowly swept him away and eventually died.

"Ending simulation." Trevor heard an emotionless voice in his ears.

He opened his eyes and found himself in a dark world where he stood alone.

"Can the trainee please tap his chest?"

Trevor listened and tapped his left side of his chest.

Mediately, a red score board display in front of him.

"You may proceed." the voice said again.

And the white Pavillion was displayed in front of him with Robert standing there with his arms crossed over his chest.

Trevor stepped into a different world just like the way he entered.

He had to blink s couple of times to allow his eyes adjust with the light in the Pavilion.

"Hmmm. That's pretty good for a first time." Robert said.

"I thought I died." Trevor said still recalling the excruciating pain he had just endured.

Robert smirked;"You can die in the dungeon but not real life. If you die, you've failed."

Alex's mood turned fowl;"So you mean I just failed the mission?"

"Nope you didn't. That was your first mission. You get to select your first mission by your self and that would be your side mission every month. It is the only mission where you get exempted for failure." he paused, "I was surprised when I saw the sacred scrolls in your training routine so I set it as your monthly side mission."

"Will I have to start all over again?"

"Yes."

They walked into the portal and they were transported to the Robert's mansion.

"Trevor." said Harvard when he saw Alex at the door.

He stepped aside to let Trevor in;"That was fast."

"How long have I been gone?"

Harvard checked and said, "An hour."

"I'll be in my room." Trevor said then quickly went upstairs.

He sat on his bed flashing back on how his master and Jack were murdered.

Trevor had gone through a massive temperament change in an hour.

If someone were to look at him now for the first time, they wouldn't help but shake a bit.

"Trevor." Claire said when she saw Trevor enter the classroom.

Trevor flashed her a smile and he sat down without another word.

"I hope your feeling fine now." she glanced at Trevor next to her.

Trevor nodded assuring her.

The teacher walked into class and the lessons commenced.

"Look at him. He's so cute." said a girl at a bench glancing at Trevor.

"Yeah your right." one of her friends also looked at Trevor

They kept on stealing glances at Trevor from time to time.

And the boys they were sitting with weren't happy with it.

Kevin was among them.

He and Trevor were now arch nemeses.

He hit the folk in his hands in anger and quickly stood up and rushed to Trevor's bench where he sat with Claire.

He grabbed Trevor by his collar and made him stand up.

Kevin's sudden outburst attracted those in the cafeteria and people quickly gathered around them.

Before Kevin could say a word, Trevor said, "I don't have time for this Kevin. Leave me alone."

The way Trevor said those words in an authoritative manner sent fear down his spine but he quickly shrugged it off.

"You thought I would just leave you after what you did to me." Kevin yelled in anger.

Forgetting the fact that he was in school.

"I don't have time for this better leave me alone." Trevor stepped back freeing himself from Kevin's grasp.

He sat down on the bench and continued with his lunch.

Kevin got agitated by how Trevor ignored him.

It was embarrassing given all the people around at that time.

Kevin grabbed Trevor by his collar again.

Some students brought pit their phones and started recording the incident.

Kevin pinned Trevor on the bench and attempted to throw a punch at him.

Everyone expected to see Trevor's gums bleed and lose his teeth but the unexpected happened.

Trevor caught Kevin's fist and the latter got angrier at that.

He tried retracting his fist and throw another fist.

Trevor pushed Kevin off him and the two stood face to face.

Kevin threw another punch at Trevor but Trevor dodged it so swiftly, grabbed his arm and broke it with an elbow hit.

Kevin clutched his arm as he stepped back in pain.

"Next time I tell you to leave me, please listen." Trevor said sarcastically.
