Chapter 975 - Same same, but different (1/2)

After Sil had visited Peter, once again using his soul weapon and putting on a new mud mask, Sil was able to change his appearance. This time, there needed to be quite the change to what Sil would look like, since others would know if he just changed something like one's hair colour. With Peter not being the best on the spot thinker, he could only produce what he could see in front of him.

A few seconds later, Sil looked like an almost identical copy of Chucky. A plain ordinary looking face with a short haircut. This time nothing that would make one stand out, however, there was one slight difference and that was now Sil's hair was jet black, while Chucky's hair was more of a darker brown.

”Why would you do that, we almost look exactly the same?” Chucky asked.

”Almost look the same?” Peter thought, and only realised himself that he had given the two of them a different hair colour. ”I must have forgotten a detail while making the mask. Trust me, you don't stand out, and just because there are two of you, it won't make a difference. They might even think you're the same person.”

Chucky knew who Peter was, he was meant to be a reliable person, named the Cursed ship protector. This was due to the incident that had happened right when the Crow's had joined, as Peter dealt with an annoyance quickly, but Chucky was beginning to realise that fighting might be the only thing he was good at.

What was worse, was the class that Chucky and Sil had now transferred to, was Peter's class. Although Peter wasn't the main teacher, he was an assistant. Someone who would often just sit in the back and stare at the students.

If anything, Peter was kind of a frightening figure to the students. When Peter had first joined, the teacher had asked him if he could help with several things, or what he was good at, but it seemed like Peter didn't know anything and everything he touched or tried to assist with would just end up being worse.

There were even a number of expensive items that when Peter couldn't figure out how to use, he would resort to hitting it, and breaking it altogether.

Therefore the teacher asked him to just control the class and catch the misbehaved kids that weren't paying attention. Chucky, watched Peter's method for this, and found him quite frightening. If a few kids in class would start to speak out of turn, he would appear out of nowhere standing right behind them, peeking over their shoulder.

He could keep eye contact, and wouldn't even blink until eventually the students looked away. There were then several students who had attempted to challenge Peter to a staring competition but no one succeeded and they all turned their heads.

The kids could feel a tingle in their spine and and heavy weight in the air. After that, they never spoke again.

”Is this why they call him zombie Peter?” The students thought.

”Look at his eyes, and even when we don't think he is paying attention, somehow he's able to hear us. He's always watching.”

”I'm having nightmares. One time I woke up and I thought I saw him standing in the corner of the room.”

”Yeah,I heard him shouting, don't look at me, stop stop!”

”It might have been him, I think he never sleeps, there's a bet going around that if anyone can get a photo of him sleeping, there will be a reward of at least 50,000 credits.”

For Chucky though, this was just the tip of the iceberg. What was the worst thing, was when the two of them had transferred over, Peter was in charge of making the new name for Sil. After all, now everyone knew Sil and was looking for him, he needed a new alias and he had decided to go with Lis.

'It was as if he didn't even try, you think people aren't going to be able to work out that it's just Sil spelt backwards?' Chucky thought.

Nonetheless, he was happy that Sil could keep on continuing classes. After being with him a while he was also quite surprised that Sil still wanted to still attend school. He thought based on how shy and afraid of everything, he hated school but it didn't seem to be the case.

After Chucky had learnt this, the whole thing seemed a bit heartwarming and now Chucky wanted to do what he could to help him out.

Still he had to be careful to not make him angry, especially after witnessing his power.

Over where Shiro, Venus and Swin were, they were currently in another beast class lesson, run by Aden again, and today he seemed to be even angrier than yesterday.

Today's lesson was about teaching the kids how to activate the beats weapon, in order to draw the power from it. However, a lot of students were finding it difficult. Aden had gotten so angry at one, he had just whacked the weapon out of the students hand and caused it to throb bright red.
