CHAPTER 20

"Ezekiel, how are you feeling today?" Ms. Reina asked him as she entered the room closing the door behind her, Zeke turned his head towards her and said sighing,

"As you can gladly see I'm doing fine"

"Not physically but mentally, are you doing fine?" She asked as she sat down on the chair that was beside his bed and crossed her legs,

"... not too well I suppose" he answered as soon as he understood the meaning of the message,

"Why the glum look, I thought I saw Cleo coming out of your room, she's a wonderful child you know?" She told him as she smiled, the kind of smile mothers give their children,

"I know that,*sigh*. What exactly do you want?" Zeke asked annoyed by her constant pestering,

"Well as a doctor I came to check the state of my patient, is there anything wrong with that?" She said stating the obvious,

"So why have you come gracing me with your presence?" Zeke snickered as he told her sarcastically bowing,

"Silence " She told him angrily as she gave him a heavy knock on his head,

"What's the big idea? Can't you get a single joke, what a killjoy" He complained as he held the spot that she hit,

"Don't forget that I'm older than you" She warned him as she pulled his ears,

"Yeah you're practically an old hag" He whispered to himself,

"Whaaaattt??" She asked raising her fists,

"Nothing, Nothing. I'm a patient you know" He said protecting himself from the attack,

"Anyway, since you had a Class upgrade, I wanted to see how you're body was putting up" She told him truthfully,

"Class upgrade? I didn't hear that from Cleo"

"Maybe it slipped her mind. What class were you before, if I may ask?"

"B class"

"I see please put out your hand" she asked him as she brought out a kind of phone like device,

"I'm going to recheck your class?" She told him and held his hand, putting the device above his hand, a green beam of light shone on his hand and scanned it and a beep was heard, she then looked at the screen and she said,

"You moved up to A class" She told him, as she put the device in her pocket,

"So what was that emerse power I felt?, it didn't feel normal" He asked her,

"That was called a Power up, it temporarily increases your ability, physical strength, heightens your senses, yada yada yada, that's it"

"So?"

"So, that temporal power puts a toll on your body"

"Could you please explain" Zeke asked which made her to sigh out of frustration and began explaining,

"Imagine a glass for example a champagne glass, then imagine pouring champagne into it, at a point you reach the top and you stop right?"

"Yes that's correct"

"But if you continue it starts to overflow, that's exactly what happens, on the other hand it also forms a new glass which would be able to contain the wine and prevent it from overflowing" She said ending her explanation,

"I see. Do Villains also have that experience?"

"Yes according to research we call it BESERKER, it happens when a villain lets their desire take over. It's truly a frightening sight, their form changes to suit that desire and they lose their self". She explained as she shrugged thinking about it,

"I'm sure it's frightening"

"Anyway since you'll be here for a while, I'll leave you rest " Reina told him as she stood up from her seat and headed for the door,

"See ya". She said opening the door and shutting it behind when she left.
