Zen 10 Episode 6: Traced

'Riiiinnnnggggg!!!!!!!!' went the school bell, it was Biology class again. The students quickly settled down in their seats anxiously waiting for the teacher's arrival. Mr Coombes, the teacher, immediately came in the room with a handful of Bio test papers in his arms.

'I shall start with the highest in class, hopefully this time I had need not say the name' exclaimed Mr Coombes

Zen immediately rushed out of his seat to Mr Coombes. Mr Coombes made a soft whisper, 'Good job Zen, you topped your High School'. With great joy, Zen returned to his seat.

Mr Coombes then gave out the papers to the respective individuals of the class, they all got expected grades, until, of course.

'Blaine, C+, I see improvement'

Blaine was elated, it was the first time he actually or a pass in his Biology

After the distribution, of course there was much commotion, then, from the sudden distance Mr Coombes exclaimed; 'may I Zen Parker and Helen Avriel?'

Helen Avriel was part of the 'In crowd' She's Blaine's girlfriend, that would explain how she got into the 'In crowd' in the first place, they both behave alike, she's like the female version of Blaine

So, the both of us summoned ourselves to Mr Coombes.

Mr Coombes: Ms Avriel, looking at your current grades

Helen: you mean a D-?

Mr Coombes: yes, thank you very much, I would advise you to get a tutor, and I'd strongly recommend my best student here, Zen, to be your tutor

Helen: the nerd? Please, I'd rather fail, how about we get Blaine to teach me?

Mr Coombes: I don't think you understand, Helen, we want your grades to up, if you don't pass in your next test, which is in 3 weeks time, I'm afraid I'm going to have to put you in the intensive revision course

Mr Coombes walks away

Zen: So? Now what?

Helen: tonight, the silver spoon, at 7

Helen walks away angrily

'(sigh), Hero time is bad enough, now I even have to tutor Ms think she's a queen' I turned around and I saw Jasmine smiling at me, well, at least there's not all about life to complain at

Jasmine: my violin rehearsal is tonight, doubt you can make it with all that tutoring,

Zen: sorry, I'll try to end early and I'll try to make it

Jasmine: I understand, see you tonight, hopefully

Meanwhile...

The shadow from the previous episode reappears again

Shadow: hammerhead, I think this time we should take matters into our own hands, bring in, 'The Beetle'

Hammerhead comes in through the lift with the beetle

Hammerhead: here he is boss

The beetle emerges

A bright red robot like being with the face of a beetle appears

Shadow: tonight, we get the visitor, make him come to you

Later that evening at the silver spoon: tuition with Helen Avriel

1900 hours

Tuition with Ms Avriel was the worst thing that can even happen to me, nothing else came close, not even that element freak that I fought, I mean how can you teach someone, when they someone dosen't even want to learn, well, might as well see how it goes

Zen: could you stop testing Blaine, and pay attention to the tuition? Please?

Helen: good idea, I'll call him instead

Suddenly, Zen sees something bright fly across the sky

'Uh oh, thug alert'
