Chapter 3

Now when you go to a magic school you have to be open to all forms of magic, if you know magic exists you know how to find it, if you don’t you can’t see it. Magic is a force that cannot be seen, but used. Quoted from the Master Knight himself. So when you see a normal looking wall in an airport, it may or may not be a secret entrance to the most powerful school in the multiverse.

Johnathan easily walked into the wall to find a big room with glass windows on either side with people behind them, with a big symbol in the back. Johnathan walked with Albert to the line, and this time he was in front.

“I’m not gonna lie, I actually am excited to see Ms. Gorgan again.” Johnathan said, surprised at his own words.

Albert nodded, “Told you she was nice once you got to know her.”

“Next!” A grumpy, but familiar voice came.

Johnathan walked up to the window and smiled at the woman behind it, “Hello Ms. Gorgan, Johnathan Brody, 16/3/2014.”

Behind the window sat an old woman with sleek but short hair, who was smoking a cigar with no smoke. “Hello to you too Mr. Reality bunch, I can’t believe I’m even bothering with this, but how was your summer? Eventful? Did you destroy anything? When your immortal things get old fast.” Johnathan smiled.

“I had a few fight’s with some kids, I may or may not have made a hole in the statue of liberty. Don’t look too close at its crown.”

Barbra Grogan clapped her hands three times, “Actually impressive kid, now here's your duffel bag, and off you go.” A duffle bag appeared next to Johnathan, he picked it up and waited for Albert.

When Albert was done he grabbed his bag and went to Albert, who was jumping a bit again. “You're jumping again.” Johnathan teased.

“Well what else are you supposed to do? We’re going to the MDSC!”

“For the second time.” Johnathan added. Albert just waved his hand at him as a figure with white hair started to float above all the rest.

“Welcome, students of the MDSC!” He said, a loud cheer was heard from the almost thirty kids around them. “We are going to let you all in after a short announcement, or really a warning.” The whole room felt like it was holding its breath “We have reason to suspect there is a spy in the MDSC. A spy of the controllers.” many whispers dispersed through the crowd. Johnathan looked at Albert, who was shaking his hand with a worried face. “Now now,” Said the Master Knight, “We should not get too crazy about this, you shall continue your studies in peace as the staff and myself handle the problem.” The room hushed after this, and the doors behind the Master Knight opened. “In any case, welcome to the MDSC!” The crowd erupted into cheers even the first years who had no idea what they were getting into.

After Albert and Johnathan got settled into their room, and Johnathan got some of his comics back. Thank goodness. They saw their schedules and were asked if they wanted to change anything, they both said no, liking their schedules. Then they decided to start thinking about how they would try and catch this spy.

“What if we just set a trap?” Asked Albert, “Easy peasy.”

Johnathan nodded, “I agree, but they would probably know the plan well. They probably already know we’re looking for them.”

Albert nodded, “Maybe we could let them take the first move? If they are going to try and kill you, maybe you could be the bate?”

Johnathan started to oppose the idea but stopped, “Maybe that could work, but I don’t think it would be a good idea. That does give them the actual chance to kill me.”

A knock came at their door, and both of them bolted up. Johnathan created a freeze blast in his hand, and started to approach the door. Albert created some kind of illusion of them in front of the door, and he moved to the side of the room. Johnathan immediately got the idea, he moved to the other side of the room with his freeze blast. Albert slowly opened the door, and Naamah waved.

“Hey guys, I needed to talk to you.” She said,

Albert halted his illusions and the versions of them standing in front of the door evaporated, and Johnathan swung around the door. “You know that’s probably not the best thing to do at times like these.” He said.

Naamah shrugged, “How else am I supposed to talk to you guys?”

Albert shook his head, “Just come in.”

They moved out of the way and closed the door once Naamah was in their room, “Alright.” Naamah said, “Any trouble over the summer?”

Johnathan twisted his hand, “Depends on what you're talking about.”

Albert shook his head, “She means any trouble from the controllers.”

Johnathan nodded, “I knew, we just never know if she's an illusion.” He said, “But no, no trouble from the controllers. Bunch of bullies though, the human realm sucks.”

Naamah nodded, “This is well known, but we have to focus. There’s someone in the school that wants to kill Johnathan, we got to figure out who.”

Johnathan raised his hand, “I nominate Matthew.”

Albert shook his head, “As much as I oppose Matthew, I don’t think he’s the spy. It can’t be any of the new teachers because they just showed up, and the other teachers were already loyal to the Master Knight.”

Naamah nodded, “So it’s a student.”

Albert nodded, “In all sense it would be the best option.”

Johnathan nodded, “So the spy that is trying to kill me could be any old student standing right next to us?”

Albert nodded, “Except us three, we would have known if it was each other. Do any of you really know any other students?”

Johnathan shook his head, “You think I have you two as best friends and know other students? No way, magic people are crazy and you two are my exceptions.”

Naamah nodded, “Alright, I’m afraid this falls upon me, correct?”

Johnathan smiled, “If you have the time and you don’t want one of your friends to die.” Johnathan said.

Albert shook his head, “He means if you have the time to do so, then it would be much appreciated.”

Naamah nodded, “Perfect, I get stuck with the tricky job then. What about you two? What are you gonna do?”

Johnathan thought for a second, “I’m gonna get more powerful, whether we like it or not the controllers are coming after me and I need to be powerful enough to stop them on my own.”

Albert nodded, “And I’ll try to keep a close eye on Johnathan, we’re usually together so it would make sense.”

Naamah nodded, “Perfect then! I’ll go look for any info on the whole dying sitch, see you guys later!” She walked out of the room and closed the door behind her, Johnathan quickly locked it and went back to unpacking.
