Ch 4 : New Home ?

Ivan stood infront of the door that Benjamin had left him infront of.After Benjamin had told him what this place was ,everything started to click into place .

You see, Ivan's step sister was hell bent on making his life a living hell.The bullies who bullied him were actually apart of his sister's fanclub and would do anything she told them to.So while his sister would tell lies and blame him for everything at home,she would tell them to bully him and always made it look as if he was the one bullying them instead.As his sister was dearly loved both at home and at school ,she always got away with it.

When the former Ivan had snapped and had practically mauled yet did not kill his bullies.He could from his memories and this event clearly see his so called sister telling lies on him and most likely his parents got fed up with him and sent him here.

Ivan bit his lips in frustration .'If the former hadn't been so cowardly,things might not have escalated till now!',Ivan then took a deep breath to calm himself down.There was nothing he could do now.Turing towards the office door behind him he reached out a hand and knocked softly.

A second later a gentle voice echoed,"Come in.". Pushing the door open Ivan went inside.An old yet healthy looking man raised his head towards him."Oh!You must be Ivan,come take a seat." Ivan went towards the seat gestured to him and sat down."Well well well.Im sure you know why your here?" ,although it pained him Ivan nodded.

"Well let me break it down for you.Your here at the JCF to be disciplined.This is done through 'training ' you.In other words we're going to beat those bad behaviors out of you.",Ivan stared at him in shock.He wasn't expecting this.

"But don't worry ,you have therapy sessions every thursdays so you can look forward to that.Now here you go." he handed over a small thin book which Ivan took."That's our rules and regulations,study them closely.Also ,don't try to escape.This whole building is quite literally located in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees and monsters.You will surely die if you try.Am I understood?".Ivan nodded his head, "Use your word's child." "Yes Mr.."

"Oh how rude of me ,I forgot to introduce myself.My name is Mr Artwood.The owner and principal of this place."Ivan gave him a confused look,"Principal?"."This place is also a school,you all still need education after all."Ivan nodded in understanding,"Ok Mr Artwood ,I'll be going now."."Wait!" Ivan looked back at him in surprise.Mr Artwood blushed in embarrassment,"C-could I uh ... pet you?" Ivan gave him a look as if he was crazy.Mr Artwood's face became even more red,"Ahem, forget I ever said anything." his eyes however flashed with a strange light.Ivan didn't know why but he felt a shiver crept up his spine.

Coming out of the office Ivan took out the detailed map that was inside the rule book,which also had his schedule.After taking a look at the schedule he started to look around.He was trying to find a clock to know where he should be going right now.After sometime he finally found one.

He first took a look at the clock then at his schedule.It was now 12:00 am and apparently he should be in maths class right now.Slightly panicking as this was his first time going into an actual classroom not to mention that he was late,Ivan sped up his pace while closely following the map.

Finally reaching his destination,Ivan stared up at the tall door with A1 printed at the top.He reached out and gave it a couple of knocks."Come in " a strict yet feminine voice called out.Ivan pushed the door open and went inside.All sounds ceased as he went towards the middle aged lady at the front of the classroom,who he assumed was teacher.He then handed her the note which he had also found in the rule book.'Why didn't that damn principal told him everything was in there!?' he thought angrily.If he hadn't checked the rule book before hand he would have absolutely no clue on what to do after he left the office !

Finished reading the note, the middle aged lady looked him up and down for moment.While Ivan looked back up at her innocently,while ignoring the curious and excited gazes that seemed to want to bore a hole in his back.The middle aged lady then turned around and reached into the drawer under her desk.She then gave him a large note book and a pen."Welcome ,I am Mrs Kichup , I hope you get to feel at home here." she then pointed towards a small ginger haired boy,"You can sit beside Colin".Ivan held the book close to his chest and went towards the ginger haired boy.Colin scooted over and made space on the bench and Ivan sat down.

Mrs Kichup then cleared her throat.Making all the prying eyes turned back towards her in attention."Now that that's settled,let's resume our lesson."Ivan perked up in interest and began to listen to her attentively.

In his past life, the closest he had ever got to a school was when a school got abondoned because of a murder.He remember happily exploring it and acting as if he was just a normal student at school.Now ,he was actually inside a classroom and he was actually understanding the lesson.Since the former Ivan was a diligent student, as long he payed attention, he could understand what the teacher was saying!To you this might not seem to make sense,but to Ivan who was practically illiterate his whole life ,this was a big deal.Mrs Kichup, seeing him paying attention so attentively,gave a small nod to him in approval.

Ivan didn't see this.He was too busy trying to work out the question on the board !
