Chapter 5 - Who was that?

“Hahaha, I’m Troy”

“Nice to meet you Troy, names Jac” lied Jay still showing faint hostility against this ‘Troy’

As the silhouette slowly gets closer, Jay can vaguely see outline of the man called Troy who looks to be about 7 foot height with a wide shoulder, muscular body that is bulging out ready to burst out of his bronze skin should he add any more muscle in and finally his broad face comes into view with only a towel wrapped around his hips leaving his entire body naked just stopping 1 metre before Jay.

Jay - “If this isn’t fog or a valley, then where exactly are we? Because a lady told me this door will lead me to the men’s storage room”

Troy - “This is the steam bath and if you’re looking for the storage room just go to your left until you reach the door”

Troy noticing that he never saw the boy in front of him asked him

“Are you new here boy?”

Jay – “Yes but I was originally trying to leave this place until I got zapped here by some rainbow door”

Troy confused about the boy’s use of word like ‘zap’ and ‘rainbow door’ until he heard the boy’s stomach rumble loudly like a dragon’s roar echoing in the bathroom

Troy - “Hahahahaha, I see you’re hungry boy haha”

Since Jay’s rumble was so loud, coupled with the mysterious group blended in the steam which blocked his view and not knowing they also have acute hearing having heard this laughed alongside Troy. Jay hearing this cursed in his head for this embarrassing folly he brought on himself

??? – “Hahahahaha”

??? – “Hahaha, hungry much boy?”

Troy - “Alright enough embarrassing the boy, before you leave at least leave on a full stomach boy”

Thinking there was no harm considering Jay really is starving he’ll follow along for now

Troy – “Follow me”

After walking about 20 minutes in the steam the two finally stopped at what appears to be the wall, thinking he was led into a trap Jay crouched until Troy….

“Calm down boy, we’re at the exit’

Not convinced until the wall faded away to reveal the same looking rainbow screen door that he experienced before when Sei opened the door on him. Before he could try and escape, he got sucked in once again thinking *not this again* and closed his eyes

“Hey open your eyes boy, it’s not like we’re facing off against Qilins” Troy yelled

After hearing this he slowly opened his eyes to which the place reveal a white smooth area with only a hallway in front of him continuing with no end in sight, on his left there were white thin walls protruding out of the main wall that connected to the hallway leaving a gap of 5 metres between each thin wall and on his right is another endless hallway. After taking in his time, he remembered a weird word that Troy said so he decided to ask

“What’s this chee-thing you were talking about?”

“Qilins”

“Cheelins, got it” *from Jay POV that’s what he think it is spelt after hearing it*

“Yes, nasty bastards, before that go clean yourself boy. You look like you just had a party with the mud and what’s with those weird clothing you’re wearing?”

Not surprising considering he just went through getting blasted through the public toilet, in the process getting his clothes ripped with dirt following after him from the aftershock of Yan’s magical blast, which brought him near death from the magic itself hitting his body point black leaving a hole through his stomach and if it weren’t for the rift appearing where he was about to hit the tree he would be a dead man. Also with Yan’s vicious ripping and healing him all at once in her anger after she saw the boy when coming back to the school because of his act of pissing on her till the Head called a stop and to bring the boy to him which was the reason she didn’t clean herself up and that’s how Jay ended up with bones sprouting out of his arms and bleeding with no signs of a hole in his stomach. All in all, he just experienced two deaths in one day. Appearance alone, he only had a barely recognisable shirt with no jersey in sight that he wore before he met Yan, jean short that should be called jean undies since it only cover his crotch area and dishevelled black hair with traces of dried blood in it.

“What? Oh yeah these clothes are from home…..um you know where the shower is? And got any spare clothes?”

“Shower over there and clothes over here, I’ll get them while you take your shower” as Troy answers while pointing to his left then the hallway in front and finally walking towards the hallway to get the clothing Jay needs.

Seeing Troy walking towards the hallway in front, Jay couldn’t help but think where Troy could get clothes from in that long hallway but got interrupted by his rumbling stomach so he stopped thinking and went for the shower because he feels like he could eat a cow raw.

30 minutes later

Jay is walking alongside Troy in the right-hand side hallway when they first appeared in the area, both wearing plain grey robe and we finally get to see Jay’s actual face (not that I even described him in detail before lol – sushi)

Jay has clean black, short hair, light brown skin tone and possesses an above-average look (hey!! I’m handsome you asshole – Jay) (be thankful I said ‘above-average’ – sushi) with black eyes

“Here we are boy” Troy declared after stopping in front of a wall

Seeing this, Jay decided to give up getting surprised about standing in front of walls and prepared himself for the suction that normally occurs by closing his while giving Troy a simple ‘Yes’

After what seem like a minute pass, Jay opened his eyes and saw what looks to be a very large mess-hall that weirdly enough is quiet with the occasional laughter appearing every now and then as there are over 1,200 people wearing the same robes eating. Having seen enough, Jay turned to his right to find Troy isn’t next to him anymore

*where the hell did he go?*

Searching around and seeing he couldn't find Troy anywhere, he decided to yell his name

“TROY, TROY WHERE ARE YOU”

This immediately made everyone in the hall stop and stare at Jay with a ‘is he an idiot’ look, making Jay feel a little awkward until Troy gave him a shock from behind him

“Oi, you could have used ‘Alpha’ to talk to me, no need to go yelling” retort Troy holding two trays of food for him and Jac (he doesn’t know that is not his real name yet – sushi)

“Is that Jay?” a feminine voice called out

Hearing his named get called out, Jay turned around to try and find out who that was that called him.

“Who said that?”
