Chapter 900 - Burn The Traitor!
Landon watched everything from his bed and chuckled.
Since they left last night with vehicles, how could it be easy for anyone to chase after them?
Their only chance of seeing their sons, was if they paid a visit to Baymard.
Landon closed his eyes and rested for a bit.
Now, he was on his way to Carona.
Meanwhile, Back in Baymard, several people were both nervous and excited with the massive turn of events today.
Momo sat in his classroom patiently while waiting for the time to go by.
At noon today, there would be a Parent-Teacher Assembly/conference (P.TA)
Right now, he was supposed to be having a lesson.
But his History, Mr. Apollo, cancelled classes today to prepare for the conference at noon.
So everyone was either joking with their friends, lying around or doing homework.
Momo fell in the first category.
He was currently engaged in a deep conversation with his friend Maxwell, and another new student Natsu, about the latest Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that aired yesterday.
Of course, they were also accompanied by several others too that surrounded their desks.
.
"How could you miss yesterday's episode?
Evil Sorceress Rita Repulsa was at it again.
This time, she managed to kidnap the blue ranger.
I tell you, it was disastrous!"
"I know, right?
My heart almost couldn't take it anymore.
She used her staff and weakened his morphing powers."
"And then, and then, what happened?
Wait... Why are you all so silent?
What happened to the blue ranger?
That's my favourite ranger!
I even have his action figure and everything.
So you better speak now.
Dammit!
If I knew, I wouldn't have gone grocery shopping at that time.
Now I really want to know how epic the episode was."
"Bro... It's not that we don't want to speak, but the episode ended in a cliffhanger.
We don't know if the blue ranger is still alive or not.
For all we know, he could be dead."
"No!
You take that back!
How can Rita Repulsa kill him alone?
Why target the blue ranger and not the others?
This is bullying!"
Momo patted Maxwell's shoulders pitifully: Take heart, bro. It's not too often to choose a new ranger as your favourite."
Maxwell: I don't want to. I like the blue ranger.
(T:°^°:T).
Ah yes, in an era where the concept of movies and Tvs were still relatively new and exciting, even something like power rangers was enjoyed by the elderly... Not to talk of the children.
The fact that characters could appear after a puff of smoke or levitate and float still amazed people as they wondered how they did it.
Of course, the show had been modified a bit to have good martial arts and choreography, with villains also wearing costumes and whatnot.
Even the set was built and customized for the show in the studio, and the storyline had also been tweaked a bit to give it more flavour and purpose, making people want more.
Everything was new and exciting to the eyes or many.
And for most men, they loved watching action scenes, so Landon's new and improved version kept their hearts guessing every second.
For sure, Momo and his friends were also in this category as well.
As for Little Linda, she also loved power rangers; her favourite was the yellow ranger.
So when she stepped into the classroom with her group of friends, they were immediately interested in the conversation, but they were so shy and dared not step forth.
Why?
Because Natsu, the new student who entered their class from S-class, was too good looking.
Each school grade had 5 subclasses that all students fitted in; S-class being the highest, A-class following that, B-class, C-class and D-class.
For example, one could be in grade 10, but because of their results, they would be placed in any of the categories.
But here's the cool thing about the school.
For one semester only, each person would enter their designating subclasses according to their scores.
But in the next semester, everyone got shuffled, with all classes having a mix of both strong, weak and so on.
This way, the students can help each other and bond.
This method turned very effective because those who weren't doing well did learn from those who were great.
Even when they went back to their own classrooms in the next semester, they were still on friendly terms with the top students, sometimes studying in the library together.
And now, this was the shuffling semester again, which brought Natsu, the hunk of the entire grade, from S-class to A-class.
Natsu was ranked 3rd most handsome by the girls and even had his fan club.
But the guy was still fairly dense and didn't even know that many girls liked him.
.
The girls giggled and blushed while peeking at him from time to time.
And soon, Little Linda encouraged her friend to give the homemade lunch that she struggled to prepare for him.
"Ermmm... E-e-excuse me, Natsu... I made this for you to thank you for teaching and helping me with my homework."
Natsu, who was a strong foodie, quickly took the box excitedly.
"Sweet! My favourite.
Thank you, Aminie."
"Y-y-y-your welcome.
If you're like, I can make you some more later on."
"Eh?
Wouldn't that be much for you?"
"No, no, no... It's no problem at all.
I...."
Pap.
Before she even finished her sentence, the boys around Natsu all stood up with fire in their eyes.
And in a flash, the boys all wore their lab coats, gloves and had dark plastic bags over their heads, all the while wearing lab goggles.
And Maxwell, who seemed like the leader, had a long ruler in his hand.
Meanwhile, the boys quickly arranged their lockers in a rectangular formation.
Like lightning, Natsu found his hands tied up as if he was a prisoner.
"Guys, what's going on?"
"You heathen! Don't you dare talk to us!
Do you please guilty or not!"
Natsu was even more confused: "Guys, what the hell are you talking about?"
Bam.
"Shut up, you traitor!
For a moment, we were almost blinded and fooled by you.
A man as blessed as you is no friend of ours!"
"Yeah!
How dare he blatantly enjoy food from the class queen?
Does he not know the pain of being single?"
"Brothers, what are we waiting for?
I say we burn this traitor!"
"Yeah, burn him!"
(*^*)
Momo looked on bitterly.
Even he was almost swallowed up when Linds said that they were dating.
It was a miracle that the boys stopped looking at him with disdainful eyes after a while.
'Good luck, bro.'
The class queen who listened, grew anxious and tried explaining things properly.
And the boys paused to listen to her.
Maybe they misunderstood the situation?
"Ermm... It's not like that."
"So you don't like him?"
I, I, I..." She held her head and flushed harder.
--silence--
Bam.
"The judgment has been passed. Guilty."
"Burn the heathen!"
"To think that I even shared a pencil with him.
People as popular as him shouldn't be near me.
What a jerk!"
"Roast this bastard!"
(*^*)
With that, they carried the tied-up Natsu outside the window and vanished.
Meanwhile, the dean who had received reports that everything was prepared for the parent-teacher meeting, was in a very good mood.
He got up from his seat with his coffee in his hand and calmly walked towards the window with a smile on his face.
Ahhh, what a great day.
"Burn the heathen!"
"Burn the traitor!"
He saw a tied-up Natsu carried in the air like a sacrifice and slowly backed away towards his desk.
He picked up his I'm one and held it silently.
"Hello, is this the police?
I want to report a crime."
"_"
.
And so that was how Momo spent his days in school.
It was another perfect Baymardian day.
Meanwhile, very far away, someone else was having a not-so-great day.
What went wrong?
