So word on the street is...you're Joker
- Kalum
Summary[]
With the publication of Isen's story revealing Joker's true identity, John notices that his presence has garnered some attention from the student body. Some students found it difficult to believe that the supposed cripple was the powerful Joker, while a few thought that John faking his cripple status was plausible. There were still others who thought that Isen was just trying to cause a stir during the school's period of unease. Regardless of what the students thought, they all agreed that it was best to steer clear of John for now...with one exception.
Not only did Kalum doubt the news about the Joker's true identity, he decided to have fun personally debunking it by bullying John. Kalum catches up to the man of the hour in a deserted hallway and sarcastically asks if the rumors about him are true. John's silence convinces Kalum that there was no real danger. Thus, he continues to belittle John for being nothing but a powerless scapegoat, escalating the situation to the point where he grabs John by the shoulder. At this John finally responds with he demand that Kalum let go of him. Kalum instead slams John against the lockers and dares his would-be victim to force him off, certain that he didn't have the guts to actually do so. Imagine his surprise when John actually obliges him with a solid punch to the face Offended by the audacity, Kalum uses his Phantom Push to attack John. To Kalum's stunned horror, not only does John avoid the attack, but his golden eyes start glowing. Just as he's realizing that the rumors of John being the Joker were true after all, Kalum receives a direct hit from a Phantom Push much stronger than his own. Kalum's attempt to apologize fails, as apologies often do in the face of John's unbridled wrath. Another push slams Kalum's head into the column behind him, and he slumps to the floor. And just like Joker's past victims, it didn't end there. John picked up his unconscious attacker and furiously beats him. After he finally finished, John exits the area, leaving the mid-tier bully a broken, crumpled heap on the ground.
Later in the Wellston Girls Dormitories, Seraphina decides to make use of the contact info she received. When her phone call is answered, she asks if she's speaking with Claire.
