Silas stepped out of the car, his feet stirring the dust as he walked toward the rest of the students.
The car drove off behind him, still humming with a gentle sound.
Most of the students parted as Silas approached.
After all, his display of power was still fresh in their minds.
After defeating not only the Voss twins but everyone ranked within the top twenty who challenged him simultaneously, it could be said that they all regarded him like a god.
Silas's eyes moved through the crowd as he searched for Sylvester, Amelia, or Billie.
"Are you looking for us?" Sylvester called from the centre, raising his hand so Silas could find him.
Silas spotted the hand among the students and nodded.
Asher followed close behind as Silas made his way toward the centre.
"Why are you always late?" Amelia asked, walking toward Silas.
She pushed her face close to his.
Silas scratched his head in resignation.
"You cannot blame me. I forgot."
