The Ancient Genes

Chapter 24 - 7? Quest (Part-2)

Max got out of the hospital and waited for a cab to get back to Academy.

'Shit!'

Looking at the street lamps which were lighting the dim streets, He took a look at his watch.

'I am Dead.'

Even if he somehow managed to get past the guards. He still felt a headache knowing that there was still a person he needed to look out for. He just hoped August sleeps early.

After waiting for a while, a cab finally entered his vision. And taking the cab, he headed towards the academy.

....

"Yeah, just stop here." Max asked the driver to stop as the view of the academy's gate entered his vision.

The cab stopped a few meters away from the entrance and he got out of the car and paid the driver.

he could see the lights in the guard cabin. It didn't seem he was asleep. But that wouldn't do him any harm to confirm it. So, he concentrated on his ears and hoped to catch the guard's snoring sound.

But a different sound entered his ears.

"Ahh..."

"Ahh.."

"Ahhhh..."

Damn it!

'What the hell is this dude doing in there? If he really wanna do it, he should at least care about his privacy unless he is an exhibitionist.'

'Anyway, I better not disturb him. It will spoil his mood and mine too.' So, he decided to climb over the wall of the academy.

Standing in front of the wall, he positioned himself by lowering his center of gravity. Putting all his strength, he gave a push and managed to push half of his body above the wall.

As,he rolled over the wall and went for a smooth landing on all his four limbs. He collided with something in the darkness.

The soft but sturdy impact disturbed his balance and he fell face first on the ground. But oddly, he didn't feel any pain at all. It felt as if the ground had turned into a soft cushion.

"Ah!"

As he pressed his hands below to push himself up, a soft sensation touched his hand while a girl's cry entered his ears.

Feeling an ominous foreboding, Max took his phone out. As he turned his phone on, its light illuminated his surroundings. And he was frightened by the scene in front of him.

There was no soft ground below him. Instead, it was the same blonde haired girl that he got into trouble with recently.

Looking at her flushed face, he raised his hand as a realisation struck him.

I am dead.

"I...I.".

Before he could even speak, she pushed him off of her before pouncing on him and putting her hands over his mouth.

'What?'

'Don't tell me, I am going to graduate.'

'I don't mind if the girl is pretty like her. But isn't this too fast? I haven't even held the hand of a girl properly.'

"Don't talk."

He was pulled out of his wild fantasies by her tense voice.

And he heard a lady's voice.

"Find her. The Headmaster has given orders for her to not leave the campus."

"Yes, ma'am," Max heard voices say in unison.

As the voices disappeared, she let out a sigh of relief and got up, leaving him on the ground.

As she approached the wall, Max couldn't help but asked.

"Where are you going?"

He didn't have anything to do with her except for owing her a couple of apologies.

But, her eyes kept attracting him towards her. It wasn't love but more like a sense of familiarity.

He waited for her response, but she ignored him and continued to walk towards the edge of the wall.

"If you don't speak, I will shout right now."

This time, hid words stopped her and she turned around, giving him a death gaze.

The hairs on his body rose, feeling a threat. But he maintained his stand, pretending to be unfazed by her gaze.
