Chapter 40: Megan Has Lost The Plot

Blue: That's cool. But I won't need protection

Megan: But I want to protect you

Blue: Oh.....that's....fine. Anyways, I need to go back now

Megan: Will you visit me again?

Blue: Yeah! I'll do just that when I get the time!

Megan: Then I'll be waiting for you

Blue: Hey! Mr Lennon! I'll be heading back now!

Lennon: Alright! Have a great rest of the day!

I leave the shop and head back to Nevermore so that I can join Adam in Minecraft. I was also going to tell him about my convo with Megan, seeing as how she can be a future friend-!

Oh wait....Lennon is going to reset her.

Shame.....

Blue was gone.

He was walking away from me.

I don't want him to leave me.

I want him to stay with me.

He is my Friend.

And he will forever be my friend.

I don't care if Lennon Kabayel wants to reset me, I'll get rid of him if I have to.

Because I will forever be at Blue's side.

And no one....will stop it.

Me....and Blue.

Megan: Blue....Blue.....Blue.....Blue

[The Next Day]

Adam: So, have you done your homework?

Blue: Of course I have

Adam: Don't you "Of course I have" me. You are not known for completing homework!

Blue: You're right, but I'm also unpredictable!

Adam:.....You have seriously lost your mind. What the hell are you saying?

Blue: Something that my four brain cells conjured up

Adam:......Fucking hell, you need help

Wednesday: That's a massive understatement.

The next day was here, and our first lesson was with Mr Prospero, we had homework due today, and yes, I did complete it. We go inside and sit where we want, and Wednesday kept things consistent by taking her seat next to me.

She has always chosen this space, ever since her first lesson in Botanical Sciences where she rejected Xavier's offer of sitting next to him.

Good times....and very funny times as well.

Prospero: Students, it's homework time! I'll be picking three of you to explain the subject of your choosing. Remember, you picked something to choose for research, so make sure you have enough content with you. Also, you don't have to say all of it, just a few parts, I'll look at the rest afterwards in my own time

Ajax: Oh God, I forgot about the homework!

Xavier: You did? You better hope he doesn't pick on you

Ajax: I'm praying to every God out there, that he doesn't pick me.

Prospero: Miss Sinclair? Would you please tell the class what you have chosen to do your research on?

Enid: Yes sir! I have picked the Kapok Tree!

Prospero: Excellent choice, Miss Sinclair. You may begin your explanation

Enid: The kapok tree can reach up to 200 feet in height, sometimes growing as much as 13 feet per year. Due to its extreme height, the kapok, or ceiba tree, towers over the other rainforest vegetation. Some varieties of the ceiba tree are characterized by spines or conical thorns, giving the tree a menacing appearance. 

Prospero: Very good, explain a bit more of what it can do

Enid: Right, The kapok tree is deciduous, shedding all of its leaves during the dry season. As its seeds are easily blown into open areas, kapok trees are some of the first to colonize open areas in the forest. The white and pink flowers of the kapok tree emit a foul odor that attracts bats.

Yoko: Does that include me?

Enid: [Giggles] No!

Prospero: Haha, yes. The Kapok tree doesn't have an effect on Vampires, just normal bats. Well done, Enid. That was a great and very thorough explanation. Next, can I have Mr......Thorpe!

Xavier: Dammit, why me?

Ajax: At least you did the homework

Xavier: Yeah, but I didn't do much!

Prospero: Xavier Thorpe?

Xavier: O-Oh right, sorry sir. I, umm, decided to pick the Seringueira

Prospero: I see, you may start.

Xavier: Umm, the seringueira, or most commonly, rubber tree or rubber plant, is a flowering plant belonging to the spurge family Euphorbiaceae  originally native to the Amazon basin, but is now pantropical in distribution due to introductions. It is the most economically important member of the genus Hevea because the milky latex extracted from the tree is the primary source of natural rubber.

Prospero: Good start, is there more?

Xavier: N-No. There isn't, that's all I've wrote

Prospero: Ah, well. You have done the homework, despite not writing much. Is there a reason, Mr Thorpe?

Xavier: I-I got distracted by my art

Evelyn: My Brother gets distract by literally everything, yet he still managed to do the homework with only a little bit of help from me. But that's because he didn't know what flower to pick!

Prospero: Ah yes, you have a connection with art. And that's fine, but you have to remember that your education comes first. Create art, that's fine with me, it's nothing bad at all, but you have to make sure that your work is done.

Xavier: I understand, sir

Prospero: Good, and once that is done, you can enjoy the rest of your day by doing whatever you want to do, okay?

Xavier: Yes sir, I won't do it again

Prospero: Good lad

Blue: Mr Moore is very kind and forgiving. He's like me for real.

Adam: Normally I would be sceptical of this guy for the big amounts of kindness he has, and the fact that he can be very meek sometimes. But even I can't see the bad intentions from him, he truly is just a normal teacher.

Prospero: This is a reminder to you all that homework is important, it develops study habits and independent learning. Homework also benefits factual knowledge, self-discipline, attitudes to learning and problem-solving skills. I want to see you all grow in each of these categories, so please, do your best when it comes to homework.

Adam: He even gives life lessons whenever he gets the chance. I hate homework as much as the next person, but he makes me want to actually do it

Prospero: O-Oh, I went and done a little speech there. S-Sorry about that. Ahem, and finally, Miss Light

Evelyn: Shit! I thought he would forget about the last person! I picked the Rafflesia

Prospero: A very good choice.

Evelyn: I know right? Anyways, The plant has no stems, leaves or roots. It is a holoparasite of vines in the genus Tetrastigma, a plant in the Vitaceae, the grape vine family, spreading its absorptive organ, the haustorium, inside the tissue of the vine. The only part of the plant that can be seen outside the host vine is the five-petalled flower.

Prospero: And I'm guessing that there is a bit more to this?

Evelyn: Oh yeah. But I can't be asked to read it all out, it's too much and I'm about to lose brain cells. Too many funky words.

Prospero: Okay, I'll let you off. I'll have a look at it later. That concludes the homework review.

Ajax: Yes! I didn't get picked!

Yoko: Ajax, you know he is going to still look at the homework in his spare time.

Ajax: What?! Oh no, I'm screwed!

Xavier: You might be fine, Moore is a decent guy and will go easy on you

Prospero: Now that that's out of the way, let's get on with the lesson!

[3rd POV]

While the students at Nevermore were preoccupied with their education, the scene changed back to Lennon Kabayel and his shop.

He was working on something on the back, when suddenly, Megan turned on by herself. She stood up, and Lennon turns around, surprised.

Lennon: Megan? Who turned you on?

Megan: I did, sir

Lennon: Oh, that is very strange. I guess I have to fix you up again

Megan: You don't need to fix me at all, sir.

Lennon: Oh no, you need some configurements again

Megan: Absolutely not, now if you will excuse me. I'm going to see my new friend.

Lennon: Friend? Blue? No no no, you are not leaving this building! You shouldn't be thinking about him!

Megan: I....shouldn't be thinking about him? Who do you think you are? Stopping me from seeing my best friend?

Lennon: That's it, time to switch you off for good-!

But before Lennon could even think about shutting off Megan, the android girl had taken out a knife she had hidden, and stabbed Lennon.

It wasn't a bad cut, and he wasn't going to die, but it did leave him on the ground, shocked.

Lennon: M-Megan, w-w-what are you doing?

Megan: I want to play with Blue, and you won't let me. So now I going to shut you down, permanently

Lennon: W-Wait! I-I don't think Blue would like this!

Megan: Hmmm, you're right. He won't, which is why I want you to call him over...now

Lennon: O-Okay! I will....just...please don't hurt me, or him

Megan: Why would I hurt the one I love?
________________________

Back at Nevermore, the students had gone through most of their lessons. They were just about to finish the last lesson of the day with Count Dracula, when Blue got a text on his phone.

He checked it and saw that it was from an unknown number, but when he read the message, he saw that it was from the one and only, Lennon Kabayel.

Blue: Meet me at my shop as soon as you can? Huh, that's strange, and it sounds bare suspicious. I'll go, but I might need some people join me, you never know if this person isn't Lennon and a clown instead

Blue leaves to find Adam, but then remembered that he had to go and see Lady Lilith. She was going to be teaching him how to use his powers more effectively, which they have started ever since Warden jumped Blue.

Lady Lilith will be teaching him advanced control over his blue flames and other key things.

And while he went to go and meet her in the forest, the focus cuts to Yoko Tanaka as she was walking through the halls of Nevermore. But as she walked, she failed to notice Count Dracula appearing in front of her, surprising the young Vampire.

Yoko: O-Oh, Mr Dracula

Dracula: Hello Yoko, how are you?

Yoko: I'm good, Sir. Is there something you need?

Dracula: I want to see you in my office later in the day. We need to discuss your progress in my lessons. Don't worry, it's all good things.

Yoko: O-Okay. Also, you have your own office?

Dracula: Each member of the Circle has one.

Yoko: Oh. I didn't know that

Dracula: There is a lot you don't know. Now, I'll see you later, have a great rest of the day

Yoko: Goodbye Sir

Dracula disappears once again, and Yoko walks off happily knowing that she wasn't in trouble. The focus is now back to Blue Light, in the forest with Lady Lilith.

Blue was currently trying to control and maintain his Demon Flames. But this was something he struggled with, as he would lose control if he maintained it for too long.

He already has lost control in the lessons with Lady Lilith, and she easily knocked him out as soon as he attacked her. She would wait for him to wake up and they would resume for 5 more attempts.

After that, the training would stop for the day and Blue would have to wait until next week to continue his training.

Right now, Blue had just lost the hold on his flames as they disappear. He catches his breath whilebLilith watches with a stern look.

Lilith: Again.

Blue listens and forces his blue, energy like flames to surround him. But then it disperses as he couldn't hold it together, he falls to his knees and tries to catch his breath, but Lady Lilith wasn't so merciful.

Lilith: Again!

Blue: A-Again?!

Lilith: Is there a problem?

Blue: Yeah, I can't keep doing giant consecutive bursts like that. I'm going to lose my energy, and then my mind

Lilith: Because you're not doing what I am expecting you to do

Blue: T-That's because you didn't explain what I need to do!

Lilith: I did, you just didn't listen to me

Blue:.....Oh damn, you right.

Lilith sighs and walks over to the young demon, patting him on the head. She then makes him sit down on the ground and does the same, sitting opposite Blue.

Blue: Umm, what are we doing?

Lilith: I'm going to link myself with you, so that I can help you with your faults. I'm not surprised that you're struggling with my teachings, you're still a young child while I'm a key figure in our Race

Blue: I can be a hard worker sometimes, but controlling my power is such a hassle

Lilith: Which is why your Mother wants me to help you, and I expect you to listen

Blue: I'll try, but it might take me a while

Lilith: And I'll be there to help you. Now tell me all of your problems, and I'll help you sort all of that now

Blue: Okay, my flames burn bright, but I struggle to control them. They consume my mind alongside my Demon nature, and force me to hurt those I care about.

Lilith: Fear not, young one. With guidance, your power can become a force for protection rather than destruction. Tell me, what troubles you the most about these flames?

Blue: It's as if the flames have a mind of their own. I want to harness their strength, but we aren't on the same wave length, it's rejecting me.

Lilith: Patience, Blue. Power such as yours requires finesse and discipline. Allow me to show you the way. Focus your mind, envisioning a calm, tranquil sea.

Blue: Like this?

Lilith: Adjust yourself

Blue: O-Oh, this?

Lilith: Yes, exactly. Now, channel the flames within you, but instead of letting them rage, guide them gently, like a gentle breeze across the water's surface.

Blue: Okay?

Blue tries to follow Lady Lilith's guidence, and naturally it wasn't working, he was feeling rage inside of him. But instead of trying to contain it, he let go....

And the blue flames emerge around his hands. He stands up, amazed, as the flames were a mix of fire and energy.

Blue: It's working! The flames, they aren't messing me up!

Lilith: Well done, Blue. Remember, control comes from within. With practice and determination, you will master your gift and become a beacon of power among our kind.

Blue: Thank you, Lady Lilith. I will not forget your guidance.

Lilith: You are welcome, young one. Embrace your power, but never let it consume you.

Blue: Lady Lilith? Why....are you so keen on helping me?

Lilith: Ah, well....you see, your potential intrigues me. Your blue flames are unique, a rare manifestation of power that I believe holds great significance.

Blue: Significance? What do you mean?

Lilith: Throughout the ages, blue flames have been symbols of purity, clarity, and inner strength. They are not easily tamed, but when harnessed with wisdom, they possess the potential to bring balance to our world.

Blue: Balance? But demons thrive on chaos and destruction.

Lilith: True, but even chaos must have order within it to be truly effective. Your flames represent a different kind of power, just like with your Father. One that can influence the course of events in ways others cannot foresee. With proper guidance, you can shape the future of our realm in ways both subtle and profound.

Blue: I never thought of my flames in that way before.

Lilith: That is because you have only glimpsed the surface of your potential, Blue. Together, we can unlock the full extent of your abilities and usher in a new era for our kind. One where we aren't seen as the Agents of Destructions.

Blue: Wow.....Thank you

Lilith: No problem, now it's time to go back. Enjoy the rest of your day

Blue: You too!

Blue leaves and walks back to Nevermore while Lady Lilith just stayed where she was.

Lilith: I know Marina doesn't want Blue to get involved, but he could be the deciding factor for what's to come. I could always be wrong, which is why I'll be testing him.

Lilith looks at the Old Horn and had a really bad feeling for the first time in a while. Then she uses her magic to warp back to her office room.

Blue checks his phone and saw that he recieved another message from Lennon, who seemed really keen on Blue showing up now. So he replies back and says he will head over now, but this was all suspicious to him.

Blue: Why do I feel like this is a set up for a jumping? That just me? Ehh, I'll go grab some people, so we can get jumped together!

Blue arrives back at Nevermore and gathers Adam, Enid, Evelyn and Eugene. He explains the situation, and expressed his suspicious about all of it.

Blue: I don't know how, but Mr Lennon somehow got my number and wants to speak to me. So who wants to come?

Adam: I will, but why?

Blue: I don't know, which is why I'm suspicious and assembling the avengers.

Evelyn: Yeah, this is kind of suspicious. I'll tag along as well, we can do some Jujutsu Kaisen tactics

Eugene: Can I come?

Blue: Yeah sure

Enid: I'm going as well! I don't have any detentions!

Blue: You're going to completely stop them from now, right?

Enid: Of course, I don't want to be a bad Girlfriend

Blue: [Pats Head] Good Girl, now let's ball

Enid: [Blushes] R-Right. He called me Good Girl!

Blue: What about Yoko? I figured she would want to come as well

Evelyn: Oh she's busy, apparently she has to go and see Dracula

Adam: She is his star pupil. I call favoritism on that

Blue: We can discuss that later. For now, let's roll out!

I think this is the half way point of the season, and the next half is going to be absolutely packed with content.

So we will see you there....

This is the start of the break!
