Chapter 33: A Change of Plans
33 A Change of Plans
Every day for the last 5 days, the school has been finding scattered human remains all around the forest.
5 students have already been found dead in such a manner. Each body and limb was torn off by what looked like force instead of a clean cut. Organs, bones, clumps of gray hair, and blood littered the areas of their death making any witness be traumatized for life without a doubt. There were signs of deep claw marks that ran deep into the few still recognizable pieces of flesh.
Upon examining the first body, or lack thereof. The nurse adamantly insisted that it was not the work of a senseless monster. The fact that the student's hair turned gray signifies either extreme fear or extreme pain, and she was leaning more towards the latter.
However, she could not deny that the victim was attacked by some sort of beast-like claws. She could find no evidence leading to the use of any weapons or any sign of other abilities being in use. The bodies were too damaged and unrecognizable to find any solid evidence.
When the nurse gave her report and conclusion to general Ryker, he was very skeptical about it. But in the end, he trusted the nurse's intuition. From his knowledge, the nurse has yet to be wrong about her predictions.
The school decided to interrogate everyone with a transformation-related ability in hopes of finding the killer. This also included even the teachers and every officer in the school that had that type of ability.
However, the school came up empty-handed. Their investigation yielded no results.
They could find no pattern or correlation between the students killed. In the eyes of the school, it seems like they were being killed at random.
In the end, they concluded that it was probably some beast roaming around the forest.
After the 5th student was killed, the school deemed the forest as off-limits in order to minimize the casualties.
Various search parties were sent out into the forest to investigate for any dangerous beasts that might be lurking in there.
The search parties only found weak animals like bears and wolves that could not possibly harm even the weakest of students.
General Ryker was having the biggest headache he ever had in his entire life. 6 students were dead in only one week of school. This has never happened in the school's entire history.
Luckily, none of the dead students were any important. But, what if the next victim is an important student. If so, then he would definitely lose his job and his position and he would never hear the end of it for the rest of his life. He needed to avoid such a predicament at all costs.

In the past 4 days, Moby had gotten a good amount stronger.
Jayden had received half of the XP Moby had received due to their household bonus, giving her 4275 XP, which was not even enough to level her up once.
Sadly, Jayden's class has yet to start combat training so she is yet to gain any XP from, in-class combat which would have greatly helped the 2 of them get much stronger.
Moby had also gotten 12 points from completing his daily quest, meaning that he had a total of 32 stat points to assign.
He decided to assign 10 points in strength and 22 points in endurance.

Abby is still unconscious in the nurse's office which was a little worrying for Moby. He had been spying on her condition every day just in case she wakes up and starts running her mouth.
Moby still does not know how much she knows about his secret from him using "Nightmare" and he is not willing to take chances. He would kill her to ensure his secret if he could but, it is nearly impossible to kill her as long as she stays in the nurse's office.
Luckily, even if she tries to expose something about him it would only sound like the babbling of a crazy person, but Moby is not even willing to take even the slightest risk. For now, all he can do is monitor her condition and just hope and pray it all works out fine.
For the last 5 days, Moby has spent nearly his entire time working towards completing his current quest. So far, it has been a very enjoyable experience and he is only now getting to the good and juicy part.

Moby and Jayden have been targeting members of Nathan's gang for the past 5 days.
They had already killed and tortured everyone in the gang leaving Nathan for last.
Moby and Jayden needed to proceed with a lot of caution in order for their plans to work without them being caught or for the school to catch on making it impossible for them to complete their plans.
They decided against severely humiliating their victims in public before the kill for obvious reasons.
If they did that, then it would be way too simple for the school to predict who the next target is going to be.
They would know that whichever student acts unnaturally and severely humiliated themselves would most likely be the next target. Then, all the school had to do is provide them protection or keep an eye on them waiting for the killer to arrive making Moby's and Jayden's plan completely impossible.
Instead of humiliating their victims in public. They opted to humiliate them while they were alone while they took a video of everything they made them do. When they finish killing all their targets, Moby and Jayden will anonymously upload everything they filmed on the web giving the military no leads to work on and at the same time extremely humiliating Nathan and his gang.
Their only lead is if they knew all the members of Nathan's gang which is very unlikely. The gang disbanded immediately after a few of them disappeared and they were only a small gang that no one cared about or remembered to begin with.
After disbanding, The members of Nathan's gang had gone to some of the teachers begging for protection because they were scared for their lives only to be ignored because they were too weak and insignificant for the teachers to care. And, after the same people died. The teachers covered for each other and pretended like nothing happened in order to not lose face or gen in trouble in front of the general.
Moby knew this which is why he was confident that the school would not be able to find the connection between all the victims.
Sadly, on the last day when they were planning on taking out Nathan, the school announced that the forest is off-limits and that it is now heavily guarded.
This completely ruins Moby's plans. The only secluded place Moby knew where he could torture people without the fear of being caught was in the big forest around the school. The thought that the school would completely close off all the entrances of the forest never crossed his mind.
'Fuck, this completely messes up my plans! I should have been able to predict this! Where else can I torture people in peace and seclusion!' Moby inwardly cursed while hearing the morning announcement saying that the forest is now off-limits.
Then suddenly, he heard a familiar voice in his head.
'Moby, it's me, Jayden. I just heard the morning announcement about the forest being off-limits. Don't worry, I had already assumed something like this would happen sooner or later so I had another plan ready just in case this happens!' Jayden said in a cheerful tone.
