Although Jody is very carefully pulling out a sharp glasses from Syd body, still...
" Ah FUCK! that hurts..."
Syd swears.
The last piece is taken off, Leaving his wound open.
" You sure you're alright? " Jody asked out of worrying.
" I've been worse, don't worry." He said,
" Dealing with ability users is such a pain in the ass." He added.
" It couldn't be helped. You say you'll deal with her yourself." Said Jody.
After Jody first aid him, Syd turns to Seraphina Gilmour who is lowly breathing, laying her back on the wall, exhausting.
" Jody. In the School, the weak must follow the stronger, yes? "
" Why you ask about that for all of sudden?"
" Prepare to reveal ourselves to her. She's the only person who can heal my wounds, though."
" R-reveal?! "
" Don't panic Jody. In the end, I will reveal myself to Father Peter anyway."
" Why?! Wouldn't that make you in the worse trouble?! That's such a stupid idea!! What are you thinking!? We're gonna fuck up! "
Jody said.
" That's what I say. Don't panic. The point of wearing a mask was just to cover our faces from other people who may or may not accidentally spot us." Said Syd,
" But this case is special. We are supposed to reveal ourselves just to Father Peter. But seems like we need a bit improvised."
" Hoi. " He calls to Seraphina.
She glares her eyes up to him.
He speaks.
" You are very talented, no doubt. Even your ability sounds like a kind of un danger, but you adapt&apply your power to the surroundings and turn it to the deadly one. I think it should be me to praise you instead."
Syd continues,
" And you're very smart too. You are correct about one thing. We have met each other before."
He takes off the clown mask, revealing himself to Sera.
"! " Her eyes widened.
" S-Syd?! SYD Barrett?! "
Sera looks at him in confusion.
"... You can still talk and looks like the fire only burnt a little of your hair. See? A burning from alcohol wasn't that deadly."
There's only a little carbon on Sera's face, which can be washed out by water.
" What's happening?! Why you?!?--- What is this all about?!?!?! "
" Shut up and listen to what I'll say. Or else, The record of your illegal dealing with Father Peter will be sent to journalists."
" I don't know why you're here... But if you tried to blackmail me then do it! Because I've witnessed all these scenarios you've committed!"
She fights back by trying to punch him, but Syd grabs her hand tightly that it hurts her.
" You think that we are in the same spot? Look at you and look at me. I'll tell you some facts, mademoiselle.
I have a backup. A goddamn powerful backup. Just 1 ring of the phone and no journalists will care what I've done. But you? Do you think only money will win against my backup? This is not a threat. It's a warning. Because I care about you and your parents. Because you are innocent in The list of what I have to do today. Not like those crooks."
After that message, Sera quickly shuts her mouth. However, by looking at her, Syd knows that she's extremely confused about the situation.
" Now, Listen. I need you to use your duplicate ability to fix up these wounds you've done."
" What if I don't? I can just wait here and let someone comes down and finds out... "
After she said that. Syd sighs.
" Don't you like ... Follows the order of a person who's stronger than you? "
" Stronger? Hmpf- don't be stupid. I don't even know your ability! but you knew mine."
" So you won't accept this defeat? Even the result is clear that I've won? "
"..."
Being asked by that question, Sera didn't reply.
" ... "
" No answer? Pff... pathetic. So you really won't bow down unless it's the fair fight like that thing called 'The Battle' ..."

Said Syd. he continues,
" The battle... More like The Retard. This isn't that time-wasted festival of your fucking school. This is real life. Wake the fuck up, you arrogance little fucking bitch *Chuckles* "
Syd brings back the words she had called him and makes her taste of her own medicine.
" But I understand that attitude can't be changed just by random people like me. So..."
Syd turns back to Jody, Nods to her.
Jody then took off the clown mask.
" Listen. To him." Said Jody.
" Jody?!?.... Wha...what?!?!?! "
Sera was completely blown away.
Jody doesn't keep Sera wasting their time. She points her finger towards Sera, ready to shoot some air bullet out.
" Do as he says. Fix his wounds. I won't repeat again."
Jody's cold voice shook Sera's body. Making her scare even more.
" You fucking bitch!!! This was you, people ?! "
Father Peter shouted out to Seraphina.
" Nope. Sera is out. How many times I should repeat She's not on the list."
Syd said to Father peter.
After Sera has fixed his wounds just under 10 seconds and it's done.
Syd the walks to Father Peter.
" Alright. Now Let's begin our business. Saint." Said, Syd
" Can I call ya that? Saint perter..? Father Peter? I'm a Buddhist, not Christian. So I don't know how to properly call you. Sorry about that. I'll call you Father Peter from now on."
Syd pulls out a chair then drags it next to Father peter and sits down.
" You know who we are?"
"..."
Father Peter looks very scared of Syd.
Jody also notices that her friend has some threatening energy coming out of him maybe because of his villain-kind of look.
" We are looking for something. It's called 'The Disc'. Have you heard of them?"
Father Peter was asked while there's a spinning air bullet from Jody's finger points towards him. Without protection, Father Peter had no choice but to bow down to them and do what they say.
" Y...Y...Yes.."
" I think so. I won't say much. But..."
Syd brings up something from his pocket.
It's a strange tiny triangle amulet which has a star in the middle and put it in front of Father Peter.
Jody and Sera don't have any idea of what this is. But they both notice that Father Peter's body got shaken even more after he saw it.
(...He's scare of the Amulet? ...)
Jody thought.
" Five minutes. Tell me about all the clues you know about 'The Disc' ..."
" W...what will happen to me after....after I told you..? "
" You have a right to ask?" Asked Syd.
The Father shook even more.
"..... T-The Disc... The Disc was sent to keep in this place once... By...By a man name ' Mr.Lake ' ...I...I don't know him.. I just got hired by him to take care of the disc...but it's not here now... He sent his people to take it back 2 weeks ago! ... That's all I know!! I swear!!! "
" Mr.Lake heh?.... Mr. lake... I see."
Syd turned back to Jody and signal her to shoot at The Father's leg.
B an n g!
" Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!! Fuck!!! Fucking shit!!!! " Father Peter screams out of pain.
" You have his picture? "
"...N...NO!... No! *gasp* I don't have it! B... But the security cam should have a record of him!! "
" Alright, then. I believe we're done here."
Syd stood up from the chair.
" W...W.What will happen to me?!... P...Please!! Please don't kill me!!! "
Said Father Peter.
" Don't worry. We won't kill you." Syd turned back to Father Peter.
" But all these illegal trades, drugs and shit. You have to fight with British Cops yourself tho."
After saying, Syd Barrett punches Father Peter in the face, making him knock out instantly.
" We're done. Let's get the hell outta here." Syd said it to Jody,
" BUT First..."
Both Syd and Jody gazed at Seraphina Gilmour.
" What should we do with her, Syd? "
Asked Jody.
" Hmm, I didn't expect her to be here from the beginning. So I didn't prepare for it. May I hear your opinion? "
" Kill her. I think that's the most mercy way. She's not a bad person as far as I have seen in school... But... This...changed my mind."
Said Jody, She pointed her finger towards the scared Sera.
" No, anything accepts that."
" What's the problem with it? Just another corpse."
" Don't you hear the trade? She has at least 100 million pounds to buy some fuck and shit. Her parents must be famous and rich. Think about it, what will happen if she dies? "
" Oh... Right... How about you show that amulet to the cops? I don't know what that is... But seeing Father Peter went like that after you showed it to him, I assume that thing represents the authority you have over him right? "
" As expected of the smartest in the school. But this thing..*shows it to her* .. Isn't used for a reason like that. I'll explain later because now I've confirmed that you are already in the same boat as me."
" Mmm, Reasonable." Said, Jody.
She added.
" How about we send a file you've recorded to journalists? "
" A file when they've dealt an illegal shits?" He asked.
" Yeah."
" Good idea."
"Please...Please don't do it..." Sera shouted out after being silent for a while.
"Where's your ego now, huh." Said Syd.
" Who actually are you guys ...." She glares to both Jody and Syd.
There are many emotions going on in Sera.
She confused, angry, scared, shocked.
She felt like there's something pressing upon her chest.
She's under pressure.
She doesn't have any strength left. She can't fight both of them at the same time.
" Syd, Haven't you been encountered with a civilian witnessing your action once? " Asked Jody.
" I have. But in that case, He was 95 years old man. You know I'm a pro... So there was rarely a case someone spots me."
" .... " Jody glanced at Syd in emotionless sarcasm 'Really?..' face.
(...Can't say anything much, though.
His mouth is as good as his action...)
Jody thought.
" Alright, I have decided." He says,
" Try going to tell anybody about this. And your video will be immediately sent to the journalists. How about that?
I think there are lots of enemies out there who are really lustful for a time like this. A time that you've fallen."
"..." Sera didn't say anything. She's in a hard time right now.
" Let's get the fuck out. My backup has already informed the British police that this will happen. So no worry if we'll be in trouble. There's also many police out there who want to put this **glares at Father Peter** motherfucker in jail." Syd said to Jody.
" We're just gonna leave her like this?"
" .... Oh...right... Hey! You wanna go out with us or being left for the cops? " Said, Syd.
That automatically forces Sera to follow them.
.
.
.
.
Back to a station near the School.
1 boy, 2 girls were standing on the street in front of the Underground station.
"...What now..? " Sera asked.
" At this time, should even be sooner, Me and Jody will be chilling at home right now."
Syd stares intensely at Sera.
" I hate to say this meta line, but Forget every single thing that had happened. If you try to tell this to anyone, I dare you I triple dare you, You will end up pretty badly. At least by both of us. That's a warning."
Syd said before he walks away with Jody, leaving Seraphina behind.
.
.
.
" oh...Hey, I think I'm gonna visit the store before going home."
" Why? " Jody asked.
" I drank all of the strawberry milk yesterday. Gonna buy another one. The same brand you've bought. It's fucking decent."
" Despite how skillful you are, you're still a kid after all."
Jody smiled.
"That's not even related. I just like it. Hmm..maybe I should buy 3 of them."
" The milk? Why you wanna buy so many? There's already 2 of them back at your house. The milk can be expired before you open it."
" Not for me. I just gonna buy a strawberry flavor. The other 3 are yours. You need more calcium than me to fix your calciumless legs, cripple."
" Ouch, that hurts."
Said Jody, She continues
" Aughh~ You're mad, Syd? You're mad to be treated like a child? "
Jody chuckles.
" No???" Syd turns his face away in embarrassment.
