Chapter 5: Institute (5).

"So. Mister Titus can I invite you to my office then?" the woman then asked stunning both the man and Titus from the sudden drop.

Indeed it was shocking as the man who then angry now shook like a little puppy, scolded. Even Titus did not expect the womans response. 'I might not look like because I act oblivious as long as it doesn't disturb nor bother me but i am actually very good at calculation and even manipulation just how I manipulated fatty but seeing this woman I feel so inferior. Even though you can't see it physically but there is an eiree smell in the air around the woman, a snake, an old one at that despite her appearance maybe she's already a hag. ' Titus thought as he opened his mouth to say, "OK. But let's wait for my friend to get over here."

The woman nodded and gestured to the man still stunned to open the gate. She then turned around and boarded her vehicle and drove beyond the gate, the institute. With Titus' head following suit in the direction of the vehicle he then thought to himself. 'What a nice car.' He then shook his head. 'Probably the latest model of Cube Corp's limousine line up. Having the upgraded version of anti gravity engine and the Green Steel body...' Titus thought as he was almost drooling on his dreamy state.

Titus' head on the clouds did not last long as the man who was freed from his bindings, the worship for the woman, abruptly grabbed the shoulders of Titus. Titus however was not able to dodge the man this time unlike the first one because one Titus' much weaker than the man, obviously. And two the man underestimated Titus and was taken by surprise from Titus reaction. With that said, even if Titus knew that the man acted to grab him(reminder he was in a dreamy state) and turned to dodge he would not be able to in the place as the difference between the man and Titus was akin of crossing the Pacific Ocean. All in all, the first event that occurred was a fluke.

"How... How! How did you dodge it you runt?!" the man frantically asked as he started shaking Titus. Of course Titus was forcefully dragged out of his dream. As his clouded mind started to clear up, Titus started struggling after founding himself in the 'tight' situation, literally. The man's grip was akin of a sharks jaw which by nature has been known to be one of the strongest and has the fiercest jaw force.

As introverted as Titus' body was, he was already feeling dizzy, and because of that he never replied nor he had the strength to do so.

However the man misunderstood as he saw Titus 'ignoring' him. As a result the man who was all brawn and had no brain, I mean he had one just that he did not care to use it at this situation. The man was a former military, special forces, so he was like a beauty queen both having beauty and brains with strength and intelligence respectively as his outstanding qualities. So, it's was quite a rare occurrence that the man lost his bearings to Titus. The woman clearly knew that as she started a brief grin on her face inside the vehicle. Surprisingly, she got the super deluxe version of the already the most latest version of the limousine which had a built in all rounder system and the woman even had it connected to the institutes security system. Since it was accessible anywhere... Then.....

The woman already knew what happened to the former situation and just picked the right opportunity to make her entrance, truly a goddess that oversees the mortals.

Having some sanity back, the man understood the reason why Titus was not replying and hurriedly stopped his shaking and he even tried to help Titus regained his bearings through pinpointing several acupoints on Titus' body.

"Alright! Now, explain!" After the man's treatment, Titus regained strength but was unable to breathe as the man immediately demanded. Shaking his head, Titus thought for a moment then replied. "Gut feeling?" The man widened his eyes In Titus' answer and his face clearly turning red as immense anger started seeping through.

"Fine, but it's a long one." Seeing the man getting angry, Titus just submitted as he personally witnessed the man's strength and does not ever want to experience it again.

"I felt it like when celebrities feel like that they are being stalked by their manic fans and the ever so strong media. " Titus said. "So your a celebrity then and I'm a stalker is what your trying to say?!" the man disregarded Titus' analogy and took it literally well it is to be expected as the mans pride got hurt when Titus dodged his swing. "First, don't interrupt me or else I'll stop. And second I know youre in the military so use your damn head instead of thinking about your pride." Titus then stared straight to the man's eyes and flashed a clear gaze towards him. "You..." In the end, the man acknowledged Titus as the action of Titus staring into his eyes was a gesture to him. However in Titus' head he was thinking like, 'let's slowly tame this bad dog shall we?' Titus shook his head from that thought as he just used psychology against the man and to himself because he can't directly stare at the man as he found the reason why he was sweating so much when he dodged, killing intent, he found out as he already felt it in the 'past' . Out of that thought its somewhat a joke but jokes are half true and half false, it is vague so we will never know Titus' intenions, yet.

"Just say that I have a curse that I was able to control and called it gut feeling because of gut feeling I was able to respond to your swing ahead of time, that's all I can say. Moreover you can just call it weeb instincts for the actions I did. " Titus continued.

While the man was taking in and was breaking down the information, no matter how smart he is he still took some time enough for Titus to call out to fatty." Yo. Fatty let's enter! " Fatty who had long ago turned to stone from the movie like events were stiff all over and when Titus called out to him he reanimated and got unto Titus side.

"Where's my invitation?" Titus asked with a smile. Fatty shuddered, 'I thought of it as a friendly prank to get back at him and so I took the invitation when he punched me because as he punched, his bag shook and the invitation fell out again but I did not expect this to go upto this point. And I was already planning of handing it down at the gate but who would've thought that he would leave me, it's his fault!' Fatty was self justifying himself. "Hey, fatty." Titus saw that fatty blanked out so he waved his hand upfront. "Well, I'm gonna go first since the woman back then called me to her office or something. So just hand over my invitation to the man there." As Titus pointed and immediately said "goodbye" Then rushed to the he opened gate. 'For some reason the gate is open' Titus thought.

"Wait.. Wait. How did you!?" Fatty snapped out and cried in alarm but was cut off with an even stronger voice.

"You kid, you got some 'guts'(pun from his explanation to the man) so find me here after you settled down!" the man who was standing shouted abruptly.

'If the kids explanation was true then he will do good.' The man thought to himself.
