Psycho X Psychic

Chapter 25 - Opposite Sides Of The Hierarchy

Iesa could clearly hear the thoughts of her classmates. Of course, no one said a word. Even Catherine was looking down on these pictures.

'I can't blame them... if it was before, I wouldn't believe it. They couldn't be blamed...' her hands formed fists.

'I shouldn't be angry but the way they look at him really pisses me off.'

Of course, Iesa kept her thoughts like anyone else. It's not like she can reprimand them for having thoughts. But if they worded these thoughts out, that's where she would step in.

But of all these thoughts, there is one individual who is in shock, instead of disbelief and mockery.

'No fucking way! If those pictures are true, does that mean that him being haunted by three spirits is true too? Fuck!'

Iesa glanced and found out that it was not Lina, but, Teacher Hanon.

With a frown, the teacher looked at the pictures and numerous thoughts were popping out of his head.

'Is that really true? Then how is he fine?! I'm nearing thirty and I've only encountered one spirit all my life!'

Iesa was a bit curious about this so-called spirit. Is it really what she thinks it is? Like a ghost or maybe it's just slang?

This made her continue to read Teacher Hanon's thoughts.

'Three... I couldn't still believe it. I thought spirits are a one-time thing. I know some people who encountered two spirits but never at the same time, much less three at the same time. What place does he have to go to get haunted like that?'

Hanon's eyes widened in realization.

'Is that why he earned the title Devil Himself? I only tamed one spirit but it earned me the title of the Second General. Or maybe he exorcised them? Maybe going to the north and the south pole is part of the ritual of exorcism. But... if he really tamed at least three spirits...'

He gulped at this thought.

'This kid is a monster. I wouldn't doubt if he can take out the whole Spectra Gang if the Generals are absent. This is not good. I should inform the boss about this.'

After hearing all these thoughts, Iesa wanted to jump.

'What!??'

'I don't understand this spirit and exorcism but I know that they are after Teren! Should I tell him!? But what proof do I have?!'

After a moment of internal panic, she calmed herself with deep breaths.

'I can still warn him without telling him directly. At least, right now, Sir Hanon would just be reporting back, right?'

Teren finally showed all the photos related to his statements in the game. However, no one but Iesa and Hanon believed them.

'I can't believe he really explained that all as if they're real.'

'You think you just punch a bear and defeat it? What are you, a primary school?'

'Hahaha, what a nerd! The class is speechless at your presentation!'

Iesa just chose to ignore them when she saw Catherine looked at her.

"What about yours, Iesa?"

"Unlike Teren, I don't take pictures of it. I can only provide Harvard's acceptance letter, the languages, and the video on the chess game."

Catherine then frowned.

"Huh? I thought the Harvard thing and seven languages were false?"

"It is, I said that I've been accepted and I will go there after I graduate. Although I got accepted, I will not go there. About the seven languages, it is false. I just know six; our mother tongue, French, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin, and Russian."

Her classmates had faces of shock. Meanwhile, Teren had a face of 'knew it'

Iesa saw this and thought that she didn't need to hear Teren's thoughts to know what he was thinking.

Before anyone can speak, she continued.

"And about the video, it's actually up on the internet. The title is..."

Catherine then put up her phone, wanting to disprove Iesa, she asked.

"What is the title."

".... grandmaster in chess." Iesa mumbled.

"Huh? I didn't hear it."

With a reddened face, she said it once more.

"A... cute girl defeating a grandmaster in chess. To your knowledge, I wasn't the one who uploaded it. I didn't even know it was recorded."

One boy was faster than Catherine and shouted.

"It's... it's true! The whole match is here!"

"The grandmaster even commented that it's like the cute girl was reading his mind."

"Amazing!"

Unlike when it's Teren, Iesa was more believable. Furthermore, she provided strong evidence that cannot be disproven like it was photoshopped.

Contrary to when it was Teren, the class was in an uproar as they subconsciously accepted the other statements Iesa had said as well.

"I can't believe I have a classmate like this!"

"Iesa Hun is Iesa Hun, after all!"

"If not for this game, we wouldn't know this at all."

"Iesa Hun is so humble. Look, she's much younger here. If this happened to me, I would never stop babbling it!"

Teren silently clapped at this. If it was the others, he would've dozed off. Meanwhile, Iesa didn't really care. She was used to being at the top, or rather, she didn't really see anything out of it.

'Even with these achievements, my mother still didn't care about me. Then these people who are full of praises are just plastic. Their real thoughts couldn't be hidden from me. Sooner or later, they will hate me out of envy.'

After that, the first subject ended. Teacher Hanon didn't even have time to explain that the game had more purpose than just knowing more about each other. Furthermore, his mind was preoccupied with what he learned about Teren.

Soon, the morning break began.

Teren went out and Iesa followed. When the former noticed this, he was surprised.

"Umm, is there anything you need?"

Iesa frowned.

"Huh?"

"Oh, sorry, I thought you're following me again." Teren laughed, "I guess we're just to the same direction huh. There's only one canteen here anyway."

"..."

"Anyway, see you around."

Iesa couldn't say anything back.

At that moment, she was searching for a reason why she's following him. However, she found none.

Meanwhile, Teren face lost its life. Inwardly, he sighed.

'The class really likes her. I almost forgot that she's Iesa Hun. I wouldn't want them to think of her as another weirdo for hanging out with me. We can just contact each other if anything happened.'

Just like Iesa, Teren was familiar with the expressions given to him. He was not oblivious to the fact that none of his classmates believed him.

However, he didn't care. At the lower part of the hierarchy, although he receives the attention of some bullies, nobody would

'It was by chance that we interacted. Just like the others, I'm sure she was just forced to talk to me out of fear...'

Unfortunately, Iesa was unable to hear these thoughts.
