Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 1299

Witnesses On The Scene

Din. Din. Din. Din. Din

With brisk steps, everyone gleefully followed Dinna while listening to her words as though they were a heavenly common.

In short, this Research & Observatory was where scientists, researchers and those who created Baymard’s National Geographic shows worked hard in.

In short, this was their primary base where they would get their paychecks from.

And no doubt about it, they had interesting plants, insects and strange beings on their massive site that Nevis and even those in Pyno had never seen before.

Of course, these creatures were in Pyno.

But, when out in the wild, hardly anyone goes there with the mind of looking at bugs. They had other things to fear like the gigantic creatures that could kill them with one swoop.

So forgive them for not noticing a few tiny bugs that they could squash with their fingers.

Nevis felt his heart tremble in shock after listening to Dinna keep them hanging when talking about a rare creature as tall as the 12-year-old him that they would be privileged to see.

And you know, Miss Dinna just said that the Creatures knew how to fight like a sage master.

F***!

What sort of being would it be?

Nevis’s lips quivered in ecstasy the more he thought about things.

Of course, for today’s agenda, Miss Dinna had told them that they would first get to see some amazing bugs, with some having ordinary abilities, while others with superstrength.

And following that, they’ll get to see and feed some ferocious plants before rounding things up with the strange animals kept in a surrounding that mimicked their natural habitat.

It’s said that after the people here observed and knew everything about these creatures, they released them back to the wild.

Words weren’t enough to describe Nevis’s feelings right now.

.

“Everyone… This way, please…” Dinna said, leading everyone into a vast observatory room. At the forefront of the room were several floor-to-ceiling glass walls that stared at many tall trees outside.

Eh?

Everyone entered to see several men and women in lab coats, watching the scene as though their lives via a long black tube (telescopes).

Again, at a particular corner in the room were large screens that focused on recording Live!

Only after looking at the screen did they know what these adults were focused on.

Hm? A strange Insect?

Nevis had before seen it before, but some of his Pyno friends seemed to know what it was.

“Jumbo Stag Beetle!”

Dinna nodded her head in approval: “Correct. We are now in the Stag beetle observatory.”

Many smiled and suddenly jotted something down fast.

And soon enough, Dinna began her work.

“Pupils… Your biology teacher has come with us on this trip. So, I know you all have already started studying basic Taxonomy… That said, even though many of you haven’t specifically case-studied the Stag beetle, many of you should be able to classify it down to at least its ‘Order’… So, who can tell me what Classification the Stag Beetle has?”

Swish!

In a heartbeat, countless hands rose up.

They had just studied this for the past 3~4 weeks and had even done a mini-quiz on it. So it was still very fresh in their minds.

Dinna looked at the enthusiastic children and secretly felt accomplished.

Yes. They were the youth of the future.

Very quickly, she pointed at one of the guys with glasses.

“Kingdom: Animalia.

Phylum: Arthropoda.

Class: Insecta.

Order: Coleoptera!”

(*□^□)

The boy looked so proud of his answer… And everything he said was right!

“Well done. But dear… What is your name?”

~Pff.

Very quickly, his ears turned red with embarrassment. How could he forget to introduce himself?

“Ivo… My name is Ivo.”

“Well done, Ivo. You have not embarrassed your Biology teacher.” Donna said while nodding at the blue-toned boy.

And even the biology teacher was pleased as well.

.

With things like biology, they taught the basics, like taxonomy, but didn’t dive into the real complex matters.

In short, subjects like human anatomy were only learnt after one left the school at 15 (coming of age in Baymard) and joined any academies focusing on medicine, forensics or any other fields that needed it.

For now, learning how plants breathe, reproduce or how other essential things in life aren’t bad for foreigners to know.

Asexual reproduction, feeding habits, you name it… All these were taught to them.

~Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap.

Everyone clapped for the boy.

Dinna waited for the clapping to be done before continuing her show: “Alright. As many of you know, there’s more to its taxonomy: Stag Beetle… Order: Coleoptera, Family: Lucanidae, Genus: Lucanus, Species: L.Cervus or Lucanus Cervus.”

Lucanus… Cervus…~~

Nevis wrote everything down diligently and even began drawing a little sketch of what it looked like via the monitor.

Strong! It had giant mandibles at its front that looked like a pair of scissors.

“Now… Our camera team is disguised outdoors, featuring and moving the camera at different angles… It looks like you all are in luck because now we seem to have captured the male beetle, starting his search to find his partner.”

“Waw!… Then it must be true love.” Some of the girls expressed romantically.

Dinna only smiled at them while explaining everything going on as the camera followed the little guy.

.

“A female Stag beetle is likely to be on a tree trunk. She has more normal-sized jaws, which she only needs them for feeding… But he needs immense jaws for fighting because there are other makes around for the same mission!”

What? Was this beetle a naturally born Warrior of love?

Everyone stared at the sturdy male beetle climb up the tree as though it were a hero of some sort.

And soon, he came across another beetle that wanted to get to the females as well.

‘What to take my woman? Not on your life!’

Pah!

Without wasting any time, the stag beetle duo began fighting brutally!

Nevis and the rest opened their eyes wide in shock.

F***! Who knew that they would be lucky enough to see a wrestling matching sich a place?

“Go, little beetle! You can do it!”

“Com’on little beetle… Fight for your love!”

Pah!

The beetles were at it mercilessly, using not just their sheer strength but several other techniques as well.

Everyone saw the little beetle stretch its very long and mighty mandibles over its opponent’s head… before gripping underneath its first layer of armpits.

And before they knew it, the little man lifted its opponent and committed murder right before their very eyes.

Bam!

The enemy fell all the way back down to the ground.

“_”

.

Everyone was now speechless.

But before they could even overcome what they had just witnessed, they saw the little guy continuously climb and drop others to the ground fiercely until he finally got to the top.

As the winner, he could be with the female.

However, she didn’t seem to be in the mood to welcome him.

Thus, she tried fleeing for her life at every turn.

The duo did their hide & seek actions for a while, with the gentle desperately trying to run away.

And without mercy, the male quickly used its giant mandibles to restrain her… forcing her to get intimate with him.

But the most savage part was yet to come.

When he was done with her, he lifted her from the tree branch, hovered her in the air away from the tree and brutally flung her to the ground in disdain.

~Bam!

The female dropped to the ground hard.

This… This…

Blink. Blink.

Everyone stared at the scene in disbelief.

Did they just witness a case of rape and murder?

(0_0)

…..

[Operator]: ‘Hello there, what’s your emergency?’

[Pupils]: ‘We would like to report a crime… No, make that 2!’
