Ollie pov: Moona-senpai, Iofi-senpai, and Risu-senpai were looking at my Aniki trying to make him learn how to sense things but nothing seemed to work
"You are too weak!" Moona-senpai stated
"No, I'm the greatest!" Astel said
"He's a fool, a foozler...." Anya sighed
"He's a cockalorum. " I said
"He's an idiot," Reine said.
We were sitting there in silence when Reine and Anya suddenly shot a glance at me.
"That is a big word, Ollie!" Anya said in shock
"Yeah, you used it correctly too!" Reine said
"You are acting like I'm stupid..." I sighed
"Well, you kind of are!" Risu-senpai laughed
"She does have a point when it isn't math you stink." Iofi-senpai stated
"I am not only good at math!" I yelled
"What's 8×9,637?" Reine asked
"That's easy, 77,096!" I laughed
"Now what is the subject of a sentence?" Anya asked
"Uhm, that isn't important!" I said
"Every sentence has one." Anya stated
"Okay, maybe I'm a little good at math," I said.
"This is besides the point Astel needs to learn!" Moona-senpai stated as she kicked Aniki
"You know this is bad. If Ollie was able to learn this, then anyone should be able to," Iofi groaned.
Aniki looked angry by that statement, probably thinking we were diminishing him by comparing him to me, and he would be correct; that is what we were for.
I do agree that he needs to be able to learn it easily, but he can't, so it seems like for some reason he doesn't have the same potential as me despite us having the same blood in our veins.
I'm not used to someone complimenting my skills, though the fact that I'm being used to gauge strength is definitely jarring, to say the least.
"Maybe I can teach him," I stated.
Moona-senpai looked at me and shook her head.
"I don't think you can be honest," she said.
"That's nonsense. I think he's teachable!" I said
"Maybe I can teach him..." Reine said as she swung her feather around.
"You're going to slice him in half if we let you..." Moona-senpai said
"Actually, I want to dice him into many pieces!" Reine stated
"That isn't any better." Moona-senpai sighed
"Reine-senpai, maybe I can train him," Zeta said.
"Don't bother" Risu-senpai sighed as she began to munch on mixed nuts.
"He has to learn somehow!" Kaela said
"That's not your problem though," Moona-senpai sighed
"But Moona-senpai, it kind of is because we need the more people we can get to find everyone we're hunting for," Zeta said.
"Yet again, that isn't your problem; it is Astel-senpai's problem." Moona-senpai sighed
Zeta said
"Hey, that's offensive!" Aniki stated
"I didn't ask!" Zeta growled
"We need to think of a scenario where he would need to sense things...." Iofi-senpai sighed
"I know!" Anya suddenly said as she swiftly chopped my head off and threw it to Reine.
"I understand!" Reine yelled as she began to run off with my head.
"Where is she going?" Astel yelled
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I asked Reine
"Don't worry, I'm just running off with your head; he has to sense us to look for us," Reine said.
Beep, beep, beep...
The sound of the tracker kept getting louder. Reine sliced through the one Astel had planted on her earlier and began to run as fast as she could using my ability. I could sense Astel was hot on the trail.
"He isn't sensing me. Wait, Ollie, you must have a chip in your head!" Reine said
"Get it out!" I yelled
Reine made a tiny incision in my forehead and yanked a tracker out, destroying it.
"Now let's hide." Reine said as she glided over to a bush and whispered to be quiet.
"Damn it, her tracker is offline!" Astel yelled
He began to look around, not even trying to make sense of me.
"Ollie, where are you?" Astel asked, and I was about to answer, but Reine covered my mouth to silence me.
"Damn it, you usually are dumb enough to fall for that." Astel groaned
"You aren't going to find her like that." Moona-senpai said
"I doubt they are in the forest!" Astel said as he began to pout.
"Nope, they are here. I can sense them. Reine is covering Ollie's mouth as to not blow their cover," Moona-senpai said.
"I bet Iofi-senpai and Risu-senpai can't sense!" Astel laughed
"We can... we just tried to teach you," they both sighed.
Astel was all out of excuses as to why he couldn't sense things-maybe because he is thinking that he is on top of the world. He wasn't actually looking for me; he was trying to be someone I would look for.
I think he has some weird attachment to wanting to be seen for some reason; maybe it's because I couldn't find him for the longest time once I became a zombie, but either way, there is a reason why this isn't working out for him.
I wondered if he would be able to figure this out at all; if not, what can he do for an alternative that doesn't involve hidden trackers on his targets? I don't even know when he implanted the tracker in my forehead.
There shouldn't have even been a tracker in my forehead. That is just too much. I get that you want me to be safe, but that's crazy. He suddenly looked at a device.
"Aha! According to the tracker I have in her left thigh, Ollie is behind me!" Aniki laughed
"I was told to carry the body," Zeta said.
"Let me remove the tracker actually," Kaela said as she gently cut open my thigh. I could sense three trackers falling from our
"Paranoid much!?" Iofi-senpai said he was confused.
"That is too many trackers." Risu stated
I just shook it off as Reine slowly began to move again. She really was proving to me that Astel isn't teachable.
