No more royals, no more hierarchy

John stood there victoriously, his foot on Arlo's head. Having conquered all the royals at the same hour solely by his own. The crowd couldn't do anything else but to watch from the windows on the school's hallways.

But none hoped for the Joker to win. They were left with concerns on their faces after blindingly cheering for Arlo and Remi. But... alongside all those crowds, there was one person John didn't want her to be involved with the crowds.

His one and only friend, Seraphina

9:34 AM | Infirmary


As usual, Darren was brewing a coffee on the early mornings. It's some sort of his thing that makes him relaxed before his long hour of work looking out after his students, but today is kind of different. Today's coffee was the attempt to erase his distress about the last date he had with Leilah

Leilah... Why was she so quiet and distant mid-way through on our last date? Was it because she accidentally spilled her wine to her shirt? Nah that can't be it. Maybe I said something wrong beforehand? Ugh... I don't even know anymore

He thought while sipping his coffee, when someone suddenly barged in from outside the infirmary door furiously, making Darren lose balance of his cup of coffee that he was holding 

*BANG!"

"Darren!" Shouted his friend Keene after his suddent entrance. He was panting furiously, signaling that he was rushing his ass off to get here

"Wha— God dammit Keene! You just made me spill my fucking coffee! What the hell were you thinking barging in like that?" He yelled irritated because the coffee just stained his perfect white coat

"No time to explain. The royals are dying in East Courtyard! We have to save them this instant!" Said Keene with a worried tone

Darren sighed loudly, knowing perfectly well the cause of all that ruckus "What did John do this time?"

...

Making their way to East Courtyard, They saw the royals all bloodied up on the ground hopelessly with no students whatsoever even attempting to help them before us

"Goodness... so John did this all by himself? He has gotten out of control" Darren asked, even though he already knows the answer

"Ticking Seraphina out of the box with her ability loss, no one else could go up against even one of the royals. This is getting out of hand" Said Keene

"And what about Headmaster Vaughn? is he still going to brush this off? What is he thinking?"

"Who knows what he is thinking..." Said Keene halfheartedly


9:36 AM, School Hallway

Barely able to even walk properly after his fight, John was on his way to the empty classroom that he and Cecile agreed to meet again after everything is over and done with.

Many students were filling the hallways. Everyone watches him with fear covering their expressions. They flinched backwards everytime the Joker walks past them and they slowly walks further away behind his back

'Damn Arlo and his stupid fucking barrier made my arm break, and Blyke with his annoying ass beam... GOD they all pisses me off!'

He thought while opening the door to the empty classroom. He slowly opened his plain black mask just to see Cecile with her face filled with a bright smile

"You know... I was wondering why I ever worried that you would go up against Remi. And here you are now, back from battling against all the royals still in one piece" Cecile said with a rather happy voice, ignoring John all injured

"What do you mean by 'still in one piece'? Can't you see that I'm injured?" He asked irritated 

"You know this is actually my first time seeing you injured? I've got to cherish this moment in case this won't happen again" Said Cecile sarcastically

"It's all because they fucking worked together to try and beat me. Do you know how pissed I was?"

"You're still pissed right now, so I believe that I do know." Cecile grinned, knowing perfectly well that it's going to annoy John "So? How do you plan on healing that injury? Should I call Elaine?"

"No... Did you forget how she doesn't know that we are working together yet? She's a rat that always snitch to Arlo after all" John said, full of disgust towards Elaine from just him thinking about her

"Can't argue with that one. But John... you do know that the infirmary is filled with those royals you defeated, right?" Cecile stated

John sighed, giving up to her statement and saw no other option to get his injuries healed "Fine! Call her here then! And get that shitty smile of yours away from my sight. It's irritating"
