Noise

A few hours passed by and the sky began to turn yellowish from its blue tinge. At Pentoran High, students were leaving one by one while some waited for their friends to finish the last test.

The biggest group on the field, in the middle of the school, was the Pack with the Alpha at their very center. They chat and celebrated for Harvie acing the exams. Although the results were not out yet, none questioned Harvie's confidence and everyone believed that he can really do it.

Meanwhile, in Renir's classroom, only a few students are finishing the test. One by one, they left as they were relieved of work but welcomed anxiety from expecting their scores.

When the classroom adviser received their exam papers, he didn't begin to mark them because there is still one person that is taking the test so he walked to him and said:

"Renir, for the fourth time, don't just stare at your paper. You only have less than ten minutes before the class ends and I am not patient enough to wait for you after that."

However, seeing that Renir still had a blank stare on his face with his pencil unmoving. The teacher adjusted his glasses in anger and tapped Renir's desk which finally took his attention.

"Ah..." Renir was surprised by the tap and looked at his adviser.

"Just eight minutes left... no more than that." the adviser said no more and turned his back to arrange the paper's on the teacher's desk.

"Eight minutes??" Renir's eyes widened when he realized he doesn't have much time to spare and swiftly put his pencil onto the paper to begin.

'What am I doing!? I need to finish quickly!' Renir gave his all at the last minute and before his adviser forcefully takes his papers away from him, he handed it first.

"Oh," his adviser never ceased to be amazed by Renir.

'I thought he still had a lot of numbers left and the essay at the last part?' he doubted and looked at the back of the test paper to see that there are two paragraphs written on the essay. The penmanship didn't look like they were rushed.

"How did you do-" the teacher asked a question but when he turned around, Renir was nowhere to be seen.

Renir was walking at a quick pace towards the school nurse's office. He just remembered that he had to give back what he borrowed which is the ballpen and pencil. But, of course, it was primarily because Nurse Mitha "blackmailed" him earlier and that he should at least say a word rather than keeping the nurse wait for him.

While on his way, a shout was heard near him which he didn't give any attention to.

The source of that shout hid behind a pillar supporting the first floor from the second floor in the hallway.

Nearby students looked at him strangely but didn't bother him since they knew him. He was the well-known right-hand of the Wicked.

Sam hid behind the pillar with his hands covering his mouth, his expression out of nervousness, chest rapidly going up and down, sweat profusely getting secreted all over his face, his legs that were trembling, and most noticeable of all, his eyes was widened to full circles.

"W-what is he doing here?!" he sharply said under his breath, "He shouldn't be here!... How? I clearly saw it!" the memory of Ernanfo beating Renir was as clear as a blue sky for Sam when it flashed in his head.

By then, he tried to peek and saw that Renir disappeared.

"..." his heavy breaths were the only sound that was coming from him, "Did my eyes trick me? No, I saw the bandages, it's definitely him."

'This is too abnormal. Are they all freaks? First that freakishly superhuman and now that... abnormal guy!' he was so confused that his vocabulary shortened.

"What do I do? I should tell this to the Wicked." Sam ran but just moments after he ran, he remembered, "Oh yeah, I already disassociated myself from him..."

But after a short while, he shook his head and whispered, "I'll just tell his underlings this." he then proceeded with caution towards the den of delinquents as he entered a short alley between the first and the middle school building. He assumed that they will start to see him as an enemy since he parted with the Wicked so slowly, he turned around the corner and saw a noisy bunch just chilling; smoking and uniforms improper with some tattoos and piercing that could be noticed while the girls dressed so short and defenseless, totally unbefitting of senior high school students.

When the bunch noticed Sam, he prepared himself for either they will mock him, chase him away, or surround him for good, however, contrary to his expectations he received respectful greetings instead.

"Hmm... oh, Brother Sam!"

"Brother Sam!"

"Finally, you're here, Brother Sam!"

… These unruly bunch greeted him with a wave and with eyes glittering with respect.

"Eh?" Sam reacted.

Seeing this strange reaction, one delinquent joked, "Why do you look like you're seeing a ghost, Brother Sam?" they laughed.

"..." Sam then knitted his brows and walked towards them, now with nothing to fear, and asked, "Where's the Wicked?"

"The Wicked?" they all looked at each other before the one that joked earlier said, "Isn't boss with you yesterday?"

"You mean, he's still not back?" Sam's volume of voice increased.

"Ah... eh... yes. We were just waiting for you and the boss to come back. We thought you're still not at school and still with boss somewhere since you didn't show up here since morning." noticing that Sam had a serious expression, the delinquent at front fully explained.

"Tsk!" Sam clenched his fists, "SHIT!" he then turned around and walked away with force.

"Ah!- Brother Sam...?" they called but he didn't turn back. The delinquents looked at each other with confused faces and decided to follow Sam.

"Wait, Brother Sam!" a girl shouted as they took their things. killed their cigarettes, and hurriedly ran.

Sam was about to run but then he noticed a crowd in front of him. At first, he didn't care but when he saw who was attracting so much attention, his legs became numb, "SHIT AGAIN!" he sharply said under his breath.

But Sam didn't know that he was already seen, just ignored.

In the school nurse's office, Nurse Mitha was pouting but didn't stop Renir from leaving.

"I've waited for you here just to hear that you need to go somewhere?"

"I'm sorry but this is really important."

"Tsk, if you repeat this one last time, I'm totally going to do what I said before."

"That's fine and thanks, Nurse Mitha, I'll be on my way."

Renir's voice faded as the door slowly shut itself closed.

"Hmm, did he already figure out I have no intention of doing it? Hmph!" Nurse Mitha pouted even more.

As Renir got out of the school nurse's office, he immediately saw the crowd that was near the entrance gate.

As he walked closer to it, he focused his senses and heard from a couple of girls:

"Seriously, he's a father?"

"He's the Idol's father, I thought it was her older brother at first!"

"I want a daddy like that!!"

Instantly, Renir regretting doing so and with that in mind, he already saw the tall person in the middle.

"Sir Bonvon, what can we do for you~?" the chubby and strict female teacher was not acting like her character at all but like a teenage girl.

Ignoring the crowd of students surrounding him a meter away, Ernanfo looked down onto the chubby teacher and asked, "Where is my daughter?"

When she heard this, she tilted her head with a puzzled expression, "Your daughter, President Imee?"

"Yes," his aloof and cool complexion struck the young hearts of the surrounding girl students.

"But... Sir Bonvon, your daughter has been absent for three consecutive days now." a bead of sweat trickled down the teacher's fatty face.

"What?" Ernanfo stared in disbelief.

Then, out of nowhere, they heard a shout, "Uncle Enrnanfo!"

"Ah!" Sam who immediately who it was thought there would be another destruction and danger for him.

While Ernanfo and the others looked at the direction of that voice. Many were curious as to who would dare claim that this hunk, the father of the Idol be their uncle?

And who they saw was the Alpha with a confident smile and in a fighting stance.

"Imee's father, I challenge you agai- Pak!*" but Harvie immediately received a slap that took him out of the way and revealed Renir waving his hand while murmuring;

"Excuse me, thank you... ah, sorry." he thought the crowd was giving him a path but actually, it was because of him pushing them. However, he had no awareness of it due of his ridiculous strength.

"Come with me." Ernanfo immediately grabbed Renir away leaving everyone there processing what just happened.

"AHHHH!!" Harvie then shouted as he held his slapped cheek and rolls on the ground, despairing his instant defeat. Travis looked at him with contempt.

On the other area, Sam had his eyes fully opened again, "What just happened?"
