Jason gave Henry a hard look.
"No, it doesn’t. I’m not asking the reason behind your secret, am I?"
Henry grit her teeth while folding her hands across her chest and taking a step back from Jason. There was nothing she could say to that, so she wisely chose to stay silent. Jason turned to Darren and saw that Darren was still curious, and Jason sighed as he finally spoke.
"All you need to know for now is that I am a Necromancer. That is my real Gift. Now, we need to figure out our story."
Darren smiled.
"Don’t worry, boss! We won’t tell them you killed the instructors!"
"No, it’s fine. You can tell the Enforcers that I did it. They won’t believe anyone else in this gate is capable of something like this. But we all know that they attacked us first, so that means what I did was..."
Jason looked from Henry to Darren in a questioning manner, and Henry’s face squeezed into a look of pure disbelief! She was able to immediately understand what Jason was trying to tell them but it was so insane that she couldn’t barely believe it! Her voice came out in a low whisper.
"You want us to say that this was self-defense...?"
Jason smiled.
"Exactly."
"You can’t possibly expect me to—!"
"You’re completely right, boss! This was all self-defense!" [A/N: I fucking love this dude lol]
Henry turned to give Darren a look of shock! What was this bastard saying!? Darren spoke to Henry with a look of rare seriousness on his face!
"They tried to kill us and the boss killed them as punishment. If you ask me, then that’s self-defense! It doesn’t matter if they were begging for their life! What matters is who attacked first!"
Jason was starting to like this bastard more and more! A smile spread out on Jason’s face and Jason pat Darren on the back while nodding sagely.
"You have a very good head on your shoulders, young one."
Darren folded his hands across his chest and nodded back like an apprentice appreciating the praise from his master.
"Thank you, sensei. Your praise means very much to me!"
"Stop playing around you bastards! What the hell are you talking about!? This—this... fuck this is insane!"
Henry fell to her knees and held her head in her hands as she glanced at the dead bodies! There was no way they’d be able to fool the Enforcers like this! They were all going to jail! She couldn’t believe her career as a superhuman ended before it even began!
A hand landed on Henry’s shoulder and Henry turned to see Jason giving her an understanding look. He turned away for a second before he sighed and spoke calmly.
"Don’t worry... I completely understand. You’re delusional from the stress."
"Eh?"
A question mark appeared over Henry’s head and Jason nodded at her.
"You’re so traumatized by what you’ve seen that you think I murdered these two. They attacked you and I helped save your life, but your desperation to forget what they did to you made you senile."
"I-I’m not senile—"
Another hand landed on Henry’s other shoulder and she turned to the other side to see Darren leaning down with a similar expression as Jason. He spoke with a soft tone.
"Yes, Henry. You’re completely senile."
