Zach's POV
Before we were able to get back to our dorms, Brad assigned me and my secondary school gang to review all of the files from Jeff's laptop in the library. Even though I couldn't deal with grief, we were still going to do it before our course. But I'm not sure if it's going to be cancelled or not because of what happened.
Zach: Alright, I got the files.
Max: Zach, what's that school notification doing at the corner of the screen?
Zach: Probably what happened this morning. Let's check it out.
I clicked on the link and it shows an article about what happened to Blake. I really needed to puke because this actually triggers me. Yes, I've seen dead bodies before but I'm not used to seeing them. Yet it still gives me triggers because of what happened to my parents when I was 12. I clicked on the video and there have been news reports about it from the BBC.
Zach: That's weird, the BBC wouldn't film this. Zodiac heroes are kept secret from the world for hundreds of years.
Ryan L: More like thousands.
Cooper: That's because one part of the BBC works for Zodiac heroes.
Zach: Really?
Cooper: Yup, but it has been kept secret from non-Zodiacs.
Reporter: Residents were stricken today after a 21-year-old student was found dead inside his dorm. A police investigation into the young adult's untimely death is currently under way.
Yuto: We're not even allowed in our dorms right now.
Shion: That's so not cool.
Reporter: Police have identified the victim as one of the top 1st year university students from Zodiac College of the University of Cambridge, Blake Edward Richardson.
Josh: What?
Cooper: No.
Ryan L: Told you.
Denis: This is so sad.
Harvey M: I don't know what to say, Blake is one of the strongest heroes I've ever known.
Henry: His spirit is now merged with Danna, we could see him during battles. Just like we could see Devan during battles.
Luke S: I dunno what to say.
Zach: Let's head to the court.
Zoe: In our casual wear?
Zach: We have no choice, our dorm is being investigated right now and we can't change into our uniforms since they're still in our rooms.
We walked to the court where every university student and secondary student are gathered. I felt ashamed and embarrassed for being a secondary school student wearing casual wear while the others are wearing uniform. That's when Prof. Williams called us.
Prof. Williams: Guys!
Zach: Prof. Williams!
Prof. Williams: I managed to get into your dorms and get your uniforms.
Eddie: Really?
Prof. Williams: Yes.
Zach: Thank you so much.
We quickly ran to the changing rooms to change out of our casual wear into our uniforms. Then, we ran back to the court where everyone is talking about Blake. That's when we managed to run into Brad and his subgroup.
Zach: Brad.
Brad: Hey Zach.
Corbyn: This is so weird.
