Chapter 12: A father's rage.

Arthur made his way to his locker, he began sorting his materials back into his organisation system, before packing his bag and closing his locker. As he did so, he felt his phone vibrate, it was probably Donovan telling him he arrived.

Arthur quickly made his way down the staircase, across the hall and through the school's front door, where he saw a familiar vehicle, and his father's secretary standing there waiting for him.

"Hello Arthur, how was school?" Donovan's voice contained traces of anger, although he managed to mask it on his face.

"Ah, father sure does hear things fast." Arthur spoke out with a sigh, his voice contained hints of fear. If his father got angry at Arthur, he wasn't confident he wouldn't be terrified if he was yelled at. Threatening a teacher alongside harming a fellow student, these two things would probably get Arthur in a ton of trouble with his father, he couldn't help but swallow his fear as he entered the car.

"Yeah, he heard... and he's furious..." Donovan began talking slow, spacing out each sentence, causing Arthur's stomach to drop further.

Donovan took notice of Arthur's expressions, and falsely believing it to be due to what happened to him at school today, continued pilling on excessive detail of how angry his father was during the entire drive home, believing that it would make him feel better slightly.

By the time the car reached the lab, Arthur was suffering waves of nausea, guilt and dread. He spent his entire life making sure he never spoke out of line, never wanting to attract his father's ire, but within a couple days of reincarnating, he had essentially ruined his life, at least that's how it felt from Arthur's perspective.

"Go meet Doctor Hudson first, your father will see you when he's done." Donovan gave out one more foreboding sentence before driving off.

Arthur made his way inside the building, he began the daily ritual of greeting every employee that walked past, starting with the two employees manning the front desk, as he made his way to Doctor Hudson's office.

"Heya Art, I heard you got into a fight." A soft voice rang out from behind him, he turned around to see his sister, gently smiling at him, while giving him a thumbs up. "I heard you won, good job."

"You probably shouldn't be encouraging that sort of behaviour." Arthur sighed, he felt like he was going to get chewed out by his father, and didn't need his sister getting caught in the crossfire. "It was a stupid thing to do."

"Well, yeah. But at the same time, it was self-defence, you did nothing wrong." Anna gave him another thumbs up. "Where did you learn how to fight? I heard you pulled off some fancy moves."

"It was entirely an accident, but it worked out somehow." Arthur scratched the side of his head, he couldn't figure out a valid excuse, so he just claimed it as a miracle and hoped for the best.

"Fair enough. Anyway, Hudson is waiting for you in his office. I gotta head back to work, seeya." Anna turned around and bolted down the hall. Arthur turned back around and walked straight to Doctor Hudson's office.

When he arrived at Doctor Hudson's office, the door was already open. Arthur peeked into the room and he saw Doctor Hudson sitting in his office
