Chapter 10. The Monster (II)

"You don't understand what you're being told huh?! You know, you're much stupider than you look!" he shouted at Lin as he immediately turned to Loy.

"And you!" he exclaimed as he pointed to him. "You know, it seemed a little strange to me that you didn't have any unusual freak-incidents for several years. After all, it was happening to you all the time when you were a child, so how could it be that one day it just disappeared? How could it be that in the Energia tests in the second grade, you got the lowest grade in the whole class?" Dot asked Loy with his hands spread out in confusion.

Loy looked suspiciously at Dot but didn't respond.

"I asked myself this question for years. But, as soon as I heard it, suddenly everything connected perfectly. Not without reason the whole classroom is here. I promised them something special." Dot smiled a nasty grin. Loy's gaze narrowed as he tried to understand his intent.

"My father told me that in the ancient scripts it is mentioned that they used to expel spirits from people who were controlled by them with the help of an absorption stone. Do you know what an absorption stone is?" Dot asked the crowd of students with arms outstretched. "Do you know what it is?" Dot asked Lin directly.

Loy's eyes widened as a shock went through his body.

"It is one of the three ancient and rarest diamonds that are told about.

Some define them as fiction.

The absorption stone, the green one, is the rarest of them all. It is a mystical stone that is able to pull out Energia and evil forces from anything it touches.

My father told me that in the past, they would take a diamond the size of a small stone, no larger than 5 cm, and touch an infected person with a light and quick touch in order to remove from his body the spirit that controlled it.

If the spirit didn't come out, they would slightly touch him with it one more time, and another time, and another time, until it came out of him and granted him his control back." Dot said, as he started to pace back and forth in the open yard, enjoying the attention his show was attracting.

"My father didn't mean for me to hear this part, but I had to know. I had to!" He pointed out with a lack of restraint in his hands.

"It seemed odd to me, you know, why suddenly my dad is in contact with your father. After all, all these years my dad despised your family. So, why are they cooperating all of a sudden? Why did suddenly my dad go to your father house in the middle of the night?" Dot asked loudly, "That's why I followed him in the dead of night. I understood from the content of the conversation that it was supposed to be a secret, but I'm sure my father will forgive me when he realizes that I did it to protect her." he said confidently.

A smug smile appeared on his face.

"They did something similar to you, right you monster?!" he shouted aggressively a question towards Loy with a wide smile and a look full of himself.

Loy's eyes were wide open as his body frozen in place.

"You see," Dot addressed the crowd of students around him. "Maximum of three minor touches from an absorption stone would be enough to drive the spirit away or kill the person the spirit was inhabiting." Dot said, "Normally, the vast majority of people wouldn't survive the first touch of the absorption stone. Their bodies would crumble to dust before they could even think of their last words. But!" He shouted as he spread his hands wide in Loy's direction – "Ahead of you, stands a different kind of monster!" he announced loudly.

"From what I understand, the spirit that exists inside of him is so evil that even after they touched him with the stone 3 times, it didn't come out! So they had to continue! And they did it again! And again! And again, and again and again! But it didn't help!" he yelled in amazement.

"What nonsense is he talking about?" a muffled voice was heard from the crowd. "Is that what he promised us?" Another voice asked in a whisper. "I told you we shouldn't have stayed." A third student complained.

"Then what could be done in such a case, huh?! How could such a monster be handled?!" Dot excitedly asked the crowd of confused students.

"I'll tell you how! They stuck the stone in him!" he shouted as he pointed at Loy. Loy's eyes were fixed on the floor so no one else could see them through his hair.
