Chapter 282: Afloat
MONTHS LATER
"Good morning, everyone. As we all know, this is a day we’ve been looking forward to for the past week since classes stopped holding." The detective paused for a moment as his gaze sweep across the sea of students filling up the large hall.
"Everyone , please welcome the prestigious beloved jewel of the country and ruler of the warlock clan–, please give it up for King Labyrinth Blaise Shadowthorn"
A round of applause went through the crowd as I ducked in a deep breath and began to walk towards the stage, heading for the mic in the middle of it. The applause grew even louder and as my eyes wandered through the crowd of students I was currently standing in front of, I felt a wave of surreal feeling surge through my entire body.
"Hello," I began tentatively after the applause died down. My heart was still racing but at this point, I’ve thankfully gotten way better with speaking in front of a crowd. In the last six months, I’ve done a whole lot of that, more than I could count, so it’s safe to say that practice does make perfect.
"As you all know, a lot of things have gone down in the past six months, especially since we all know the owner of carnivals is now dead." I paused for a moment as a crowd began to murmur to themselves. I could pick out some familiar faces in the crowd, I’ve gone to school here with most of them after all.
My hair was currently white, and my eyes blue, I didn’t need a disguise anymore. Right now; everyone here knew my identity, not just because Taylor revealed it one time, but because after Blaze and I successfully took down both our fathers, the whole news circulated; the actual truth came to light, and my name was vindicated. I wasn’t a wanted murderer any longer.
I was now a savior.
"With the owner of carnivals being dead, I believe it’s only right that this school closes down as well, since it was the root of some many problems in the past years.
