"Surprisingly, I was pretty sure that the sound came from here. But why is there no one?" Trish murmuring. He still continued to circulate his gaze looking for the whereabouts of the voice he heard. Again, he saw no one there.

"Sir Trish!" Suddenly a man surprised him. He looked up and found Mr. Cato standing there.

"Sir Cato" he said with a surprised look. "Surprisingly, I was!" Trish rubbed her chest.

"Ahaha, sorry if I surprised you," Cato chuckled. "Oh yeah, what's Trish doing here?"

"Oh, that's me going to the gym to prepare the room. I'm going to teach XI's kids there."

"Ooh, that's how it looks."

"Yes. Mr Cato himself why is he here? Isn't the teacher's room far from here huh?" Trish looked confused. He looked at Cato with a curious face, but at once the old man's face turned cold and unfriendly. Cato stepped past Trish then paused for a moment and patted her on the shoulder.

"Whatever you hear, pretend not to know. Because if you don't, you'll have the consequences. Moreover, you yourself know that it is not, very easy to get rid of an ordinary human like you from this world," he whispered right in Trish's ear which instantly made him restless.

Trish glanced at him who was now looking back at him with a sharp look that was very piercing. The cold aura was so sticky he felt especially with Cato's frightening look in his eyes.

"Yes, you understand what I mean, right? Then good luck teaching and see you, I hope you're not burdened with my words haha," Cato stepped away from there leaving Trish standing there alone. He looked at the old man's back, which was now further away, until it finally disappeared from his sight when his figure turned between the forked road there.

"Taz!" The voice made the handsome man who was resting on one of the chairs there turn towards the figure who had just called out his name.

Diego Joannes is Taz's classmate. And they're pretty close. Diego is a man who is very royal to Taz and the person who cares about him the most like a brother who cares for his sister. Their age was only one year different, but the school was together. Diego is younger than Taz but Diego is more mature than Taz.

Diego's ability is to freeze things at the touch of his hand, while one is to look up and predict what will happen.

Diego there walked up to Taz and sat next to him, offering him a bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you" said Taz who then opened the bottle and drank the contents until the remaining quarter.

"You're not in training?" Diego asked as he gulped his drink. Taz turned to him at a glance and then refocused forward, staring at some of his classmates who were practicing basketball there.

The rain that suddenly fell heavily made their class have to study in the gym.

"No. I was lazy. You yourself why not take the training?" Taz asked him back.

"I'm just done. Because it's raining so we can't train outside the pitch. It's a pity, even though I want to train outside" he murmured. Diego put the bottle he just had on the lid on an empty bench next to him.

"Yes right, what a pity. I want to exercise outside too."

"Yes. Oh yeah, by the way you realize no, if Mr Trish's attitude was a little strange today unlike the previous week?" Diego turned to look at their teacher sitting across the street. Sitting on the bench alone while drinking mineral water in his hand.

Taz raised his eyebrows when he heard Diego's words just now. He then glanced at Diego who was sitting right next to him.

"Any? Strange how do you mean?"

"Ng. if you remember, there is a point as well. I just realized it too."

"really right? It's not just me feeling that way."

"Yes. I also felt the oddity."

"really. But what made him behave like that? I became curious. Oh and look! He was sweating so much, "Digo stared fixedly at Trish who was now staring at the screen of her phone.

"If it's not strange. He had just taught, so of course he was sweating. You're sweating too."

"O-oh, yes, too. Ah but it's still weird why she's acting like that."

"Yes it's true. But maybe he has a lot of thoughts that make him restless?"

"Hm. could be too. But I'm still suspicious."

"Have not been too thought about, we better change clothes. The next lesson soon began," Taz moved from his seat. Stepping past Diego who was still sitting there for a moment. Taz went almost a long way, but he stopped and turned to him for a moment.

"Diego!" The thrill made Diego look at him.

"A-uh yeah?"

"Come on!"

"O-okay. Come on," Diego gets out of there. Follow Taz from behind. A moment later the two of them stepped away together. Get out of the gym to change their clothes, because the next lesson is about to start and they have to be ready before the next bell rings.

TRINGS!

His phone rang making Trish focus who was sitting there turned towards his phone.

"Message?" Mumbled. He opened the message and looked at the message. The message was sent by Mr. Cato who had met him in the corridor to the sports hall which was located close to the warehouse.

"P-sir Cato?" Said slowly. A cold sweat suddenly sprung up on his forehead, and now his hands were shaking.

THE GLUP!

Trish swallowed her saliva with great difficulty. He read every word that lined up there.

"Today if you're not busy, I'd like to invite you to talk while eating together at the restaurant after school. Hows it? Are you busy?" Trish read it slowly. Very slow to the point that only he could hear her voice.

"W-what does Mr. Cato want to talk to me about?" Trish begins to fret, especially when she finds out that Cato wants to meet and talk to Trish. His premonition was not good, and there was a hint of fear to come and meet Cato, especially when recalling the old man's gaze earlier was extremely frightening.
