4. Transfer
“Second, I’m planning to destroy our dear school.”
“And lastly, I brought you here because I want you to join me on my plan.”
I shook my head when I remembered what Mal said. What happened last night was a disaster, and it was too much for me to process. More importantly, Mal's plan was clearly insane.
It felt unreal. That place, her words, and her calm demeanor as she spoke. It feels like she’s used to that kind of situation.
I opened my phone and looked at the time. It’s almost 8 am, my class will start soon.
“You came home late last night.” I shifted my gaze on him, but I didn’t answer.
What am I supposed to say? That I came from a secret place inside the school? I'm aware that having that place inside the school is illegal, but I don't want to trouble Mal. She’s still my friend.

THE SCHEME 1. A Rotten Apple in a High-Quality Fruits
MalSentro Siyudad Academy was a well-known school that consistently produced excellent students. A school that produces competitive and genius students, but they also produce monsters.“I heard SSA won the science fair again.” A student from another school said.“Well, it is expected though, they always come out on in every competition.” The other student answered.“They already receive a lot of budget from the ministry, and they’re still sweeping this kind of competition.”I sat still and focus myself on my homework.

I’ve been studying in SSA for almost 11 years, since when I was in primary school I already know what’s happening inside SSA. I’m aware that SSA is known for their intelligent students, but others don’t know how they produce them. “Study for your upcoming midterms, but don't push yourself too hard because I know you'll fail even if you study hard.” Our professor sneered, and just left the class. Professors rarely come into our class because they don't want to put in some effort to teach us. They'll come here to make an announcement or to make fun of us. Because we are the inferior class, it has always been like this. We are the failed students' class with the lowes

Still, no one dared to speak. They want to ask, there’s a lot of questions running in their mind, but no one could utter a word. “I’m happy that you are all here.” Mal broke the awkward silence.
