ALCHEMY

Soon the smoke fades away the source of the bright shining light can be seen apparently now.

'Aren't those the flasks I saw in the storeroom what are they doing here' Scott thinks while he covers his eyes with his hands because he can't bear the bright light.

Everyone else in the class except for Scott and one of his teachers, as they remain silent and calm.

What happened just now, was there a blast now, where is this bright light from.

Suddenly a group of men barges into the room and quickly clear everything.

Another group enters the room.

Everyone who are present here, you are not allowed to leave this room, please cooperate with us and follow our instructions.

Everyone starts to talk to each other about what's happening, anxiously.

The leader snaps his fingers and everyone shifted to a big hall with no lights.

'Why are there no lights in here I can't breathe if this goes on I might faint, (a sigh of relief) thank goodness the lights are on'

Soon the lights are on, loud hustle and bustle of people talking about what's going on.

"Everyone in here there is nothing to worry about, you all are present here just to clarify what happened in the classroom, you don't worry about getting into any legal troubles. We want you all to be honest with us and answer our questions clearly and don't change your statements, changing statements might cause you some legal issues, it's just an interrogation. The interrogation will start after two hours so that you all can gather the courage to answer us clearly", said the leader of the group

"Hanh!" I don't even have those two last brain cells to gather and wasn't there enough tragedy in my life for this to add up.

Suddenly someone grabs Scott from his arm, takes him to a corner and slams him on the wall.

"What's wrong with you mister why would do that", says informally.

"Oh, Sir why did you grab me like that it hurts", changes to formal.

"Don't try to act like a fragile thing", says the man.

"What do you mean".

"Answer me honestly how did you do it".

"What did I do"

"Don't act like you don't know anything, The Spell (aggressively) how did you do it".

"Oh! the spell, was a mistake I enchanted the wrong spell it had nothing to do with me".

"There is no way you did it by mistake

It was a mistake even if you don't want to believe it"

"Stop talking", said the man as he takes a step back

"Don't you even think of doing anything reckless again I'll have my eyes on you"

'What's wrong with this teacher why is he acting like a madman Ah my back hurts did I break anything.

Scott goes back to the centre of the hall The people are getting called one by one.

'Did two hours past already'.

In the interrogation room, the teacher is being interrogated.

"So you are Roid", asked the Detective

"Yes I am", answered the teacher.

"I'm Detective Halter hope you cooperate with us.

You don't seem to have a criminal record but have you seen anything like this before".

"No"

"Then why do everyone before you claim that you were calm and casual when the blast happened

Everyone has a different way to cope with their fear is there any problem with me for how I cope with them"

"No, I never meant it like that, looks like Mr Roid got offended"

"I'm not offended but amazed at how you can suspect someone just because of being calm"

"I'm sorry for that, you are free to go, sir, thanks for your corporation".

Roid leaves the room

"Keep an eye on this guy there seems something off about him," Detective Halter tells his partner

"Mr Roid," said his partner

"Hm".

Soon it's Scott's turn.

"Hi Scott, I'm Detective Halter hope you cooperate with us, you don't seem to have a criminal record, by any chance do you know Mr Roid," asked Detective Halter

"Who is he" answered Scott

"A teacher in your school"

"I'm not into studying so I never bothered to know the teacher's name"

"Will you be able to recognise him by his pictures"

"Maybe "

"Here you go do you recognise him"

"Ah no, I have never seen him before except for today in the hall"

"Did he talk to you about something"

"No, we didn't"

"Ok, did you learn this spell from somewhere"

"No"

"Then how did you do it"

"As I told you earlier I'm not into studying so I didn't learn anything so I just said the spells which I heard sometimes"

"Well it's hard to do such a spell "

"I told you earlier it was just a mistake if you don't want to believe me then don't "

"You are quite reckless for being a student, have you seen anything like this or a similar situation"

No

"Ok you may go now, well you didn't ask any other person would have done "

"Will you answer my questions"

"No "

"So why would I waste my time asking you some nonsense questions"

In the hall.

"The interrogation has finished but we have an important announcement to make", said the announcer.

"Everyone in here is not allowed to disclose this information to anyone or even your relatives, or spread rumours it may bring you a lot of problems", said Detective Halter.

Detective Halter snaps his fingers again, everyone's back in the classroom.

'What a wonderful day in my life with even more worst events, wasn't my life bad enough, now I even have to keep secrets my brain will just fry someday, why is he staring at me like that does he wants to kill me with his eyes.

Roid glares at Scott and comes near him

"Don't act recklessly and add me into your troubles" said Roid.

"I won't but would you please explain to me what's going on".

"You don't have to know just don't act like a fool"

saying this he goes away.

On the way back home from school.

'Why do every time I see those flasks everyone around me acts strangely and why do I get the feeling that these flasks have something to do with me, they even went to the extent to keep our mouths shut it looks like a really serious problem and I want to dig into it.

Suddenly a books cover page falls on Scott.

'Aren't these the flasks I saw in the storeroom and classroom it even has a name "ALCHEMY" '

Somewhere else in an abandoned building

"Did you complete your task", says an old man

"Yes, I did it as you asked me to do master "

"Good job!"
