Part Twelve

Nick left the Disciplinary Committee office and headed towards the classroom. Class was not going on today but Darius should be in there still. It was his office hours in case any student wanted to drop by and ask questions.

Before the camp, Darius called certain students to come see him about their future development. Nick is supposed to contact him, to see about the path Darius came up with for him as well as to go to the essence pool.

Nick’s phone vibrated in his pocket. Pulling it out he checked it and saw that Matthew left him a message. Telling him that he was on his way to the essence pool.

Nick slid the phone back into his pocket, he was already at the door to the classroom.

Opening the door, he saw something he never thought would occur.

An older woman had her blouse undid, and Darius had his hands on her well-shaped breast.

Nick stood still at the door, his gaze was met with Darius’ and the womans.

It was like time had frozen the classroom.

The woman's face turned red, and Darius coughed.

Nick heard the cough, he figured that Darius wanted him to close the door.

Nick did a cough of his own, letting them know that he was not going to leave and if they wanted they could continue.

Darius shook his head in disappointment. How could anyone be in the mood to continue? His hands told a different story as they continued to squeeze her breast.

Darius felt like if he took it any further she would lose all her dignity. He moved in front of her to block Nick’s view. At least this way she could fix herself with a little privacy.

The woman took less than thirty seconds to put her clothes back in order. With her entire face dyed red and her head hung low, she moved quickly out of the classroom.

This was so embarrassing. How could she show her face again in front of her students? Although Nick was not her student, he was bound to gossip about what happened here.

In her head, she was already picturing turning in her resignation letter.

She knew that they should not do anything in the classroom, but under Darius' sweet words she did not resist. Now she was regretting not listening to her mind. She bit her bottom lip and cursed Darius for being so handsome and charming. If it was any other male she would not have given them any time.

She did not want to resign, but how could she go on living? Maybe she could persuade Nick into not saying a word, but if she did that it would go against everything she valued.

“Do you not know how to knock?”

Darius asked Nick.

Darius was chasing after her for a whole two weeks, and she was finally letting him in. Just when Darius felt that he would dive into the pleasures of adults, Nick interrupted him. He knew he should have locked the door, but what student comes in on a Sunday?

“Do you not know how to lock the door?”

Nick retorted.

“Nevermind. What are you here for? Shouldn’t you be at the essence pool?”

Nick gave a small nod.

“Yes, but you never told me where it was located. Also, you told me before we left for the camp that I had to see you when I returned. I’ve returned, so here I am.”

Nick told him.

Darius suddenly remembered he did tell Nick that. Honestly, it has been two weeks so he forgot. Other important task needed to be completed so he was busy dealing with those.

“Right, take a seat.”

Darius told Nick as he walked over to his desk. He opened a drawer and pulled out two pieces of paper.

Darius set them both in front of Nick. Nick picked up one, which was titled ‘Foresight’ and read it over.

“From the skill you’ve shown I came up with two paths you could go down. You already seem to be going down the foresight pathway, but we both know how hard that is. If a person does manage to complete the advancement, then they have potential to be any role. With your skill, I believe it is possible for you to complete it sometime in the near future.”

Darius watched Nick as he read all over the paper.

Nick was going down that pathway, as it allowed him to easily dodge his opponents attacks. Combined with his EXO abilities natural ability, it would allow him to land devastating blows.

“Personally, I like the other path. ‘Absolute Eye’. It not only allows the user to read their opponent's movements with or without essence, the user will also be able to locate the five points of death. I believe you’ll find enjoyment in this path.”

Nick grabbed the other paper, and read it over.

He never heard of this pathway before. Nick spent countless hours in the past studying different eyesight pathways he could go down, and he determined that ‘Foresight’ was the superior choice. At least for his battle style, it was.

Nick heard about the five points of death, which were the absolute weak points in or on a person or object. When a massive force hit one of these points, the body or object would start to break apart internally. There was no way to stop it from happening, only death awaited.

A sword would crumble into pieces, a person would feel all their organs stop working and blood would no longer flow.

Having the ability to hit these points at will, along with the sixteen points in the channels of an EXO user would make a person one of the deadliest beings alive. However, Nick could not recall of anyone in the world that was able to see these five points.

The location of these points were different in everyone and every object.

“Where did you learn of this?”

Nick was suspicious about this ‘Absolute Eye’ pathway.

“Researched it on my own. Back when I was living in Japan, I came across some ancient text and studied it. The eye techniques they use there are actually branched off of this, so it is likely you have not heard of it. I don’t believe you have been outside of the country yet.”

Darius paused for a moment.

“Whatever you chose, is your decision. I’m just helping guide you to the most suitable path, you can go down a completely different pathway if you want. No matter what, it does not affect me in any way. Now, you should go to the third building on your left by the gate. That is where you will find the essence pool, tell them your name and you’ll be allowed to enter.”

Darius got up from his seat.

“Now if you’ll excuse me, I did have a prior engagement going on.”

Darius strolled out of the classroom, leaving Nick alone in thought.

Nick did not take a second look at the training for ‘Foresight’ he crumbled up the paper and threw it away. He already knew what was needed for him to go down that pathway. However, he folded up the paper for ‘Absolute Eye’ and put it in his pocket.

It was tempting, but he would not take Darius’ word for it. He would conduct his own research.

As Darius walked down the hallway he had a sly grin on his face.

‘We all have a role to play. Nothing but pieces to a very large puzzle, and your piece has just been put into effect Nick.’ Darius thought to himself.
