Chapter 7 what needed to be done!

“The-the eye…THIS IS IT!!! IT WAS THE EYE!! Damn it we have to act now” said Asilis

Koid replied with an annoyed voice

“What is it now…you know that you won’t get more chances?”

Asilis replied “No you don’t seem to understand…this is the eye of the wise that kid is using it…forget about the ability to reinforce mages’ bodies so they could use both magic and martial arts…and think of it this way. That eye grants any who use it the ability to fully understand the basic behind any type of magic and replicate it…this was supposed to be a myth but after analysing the facts it all seem to fit…the power surges, the ability to revive ancient artefacts to reproduce lost magic and even use mana flux oh my god it all fits this kid was using this eye for so long…this would benefit the organization more than ever…we need his body, do whatever it takes to get his body and believe me it will be worth it.”

“Are you not just making an excuse to spare yourself the guillotine? This seem too convenient for you

…” said Koid with a tone of mistrust.

Asilis angrily replied

“Damn it man, I am telling the truth…even more don’t you believe that a devil-lord’s body would be more beneficial to the organization than a failed experiment…think it through, we can get a better standing with them”

“Hmm it does seem tempting…alright just because we were friends why not. “ Said Koid then he pressed a button near the dashboard in front of him.

He then spoke announcing to any who heard his message to acquire the body of the fallen devil.

A grin showed on Asilis’s face as for once his ideas began to move according to plan.

I Shiki Youtaro the next head to the lightening beast clan stood inside the quarter room of the Alsian team. Everyone is shocked by what we just saw…Yuna the ice queen just cold heartedly pierced through the chest of Asura, the one who everyone taught to be her boyfriend. That man who saved me from certain death when he risked his life against that metallic mage, and contributed greatly against that invasion…turned out to be a contractor Asura the friend I taught is a god damn devil-lord.

I have just witnessed the end unfolding of this badly scripted nightmare and I can say that its damn author is despicably wicked…

This gut wrenching feeling I am now having is tearing me apart…how is this possible I shared a damn room with that man we spoke like true friends we even chassed skirts together…no that was just me.

But damn I was fooled…no everyone was fooled by his impeccable act. They say contractors could blend in with human life and cannot be discovered due to their ability to comprehend the memories and feeling of their host but I never taught it would be this potent. He even feigned embarrassment when he got lucky and managed to find himself in the girls’ locker room…

I could only feel bad for Yuna…she must have had it really bad. They just started dating and now she is forced to do this, no one should be in her position…damn this cruel fate.

I took another look at the faces of everyone in here, they all looked exhausted and some even looked frightened.

Vessma who I taught would be spewing profanities against Asura is now more silent then I have ever known her to be.

Yuna then entered the quarter her mascara was running. Clearly showing that she has cried a lot. This only made me feel more pain…she must be going through hell right now.

Feeling the urge to try and console her I tried to comfort her but she spoke first.

“I-I finally did it…sob…The one that killed my parents…he is finally dead…Sob…”

What? What is she talking about?

Before I could ask her anything she feinted right into my arms, probably the exhaustion from all the fighting and the stress of these unfortunate events have just caught up.

“WE NEED TO GO NOW!!” said a voice I clearly recognise.

Ryouka Gaz just entered the building. He looked furious and agitated. Next to him was the principal and two of the school’s staff.

Vessma asked with a monotonous tone

“Why?”

The principal intervened

“There is no time to waste. If we do not leave now things will get complicated”

I answered almost automatically

“They already did”

Men in black, dozens of them entered the room behind both the principal and the headmaster and surrounded all of us.

The headmaster took an offensive stance and ignited both his hands making all the men in the room unconsciously step back. The sheer amount of pressure released from him was suffocating.

A man who seemed too buffed to fit in his suit walked in between the line of the other men,

He fixed his glasses then calmly said

“Mr Gaz. We do not wish for any complications. You may be able to power yourself out of this situation. But I can assure you that your students will not. So please surrender yourself as you are responsible for this blunder”

The old man still taking his stance answered

“I do not believe the words of the organization…you dared and crossed me once and now you dare do it again. And now you are using the students to twist my hand…I will step down once I am certain that every one of them is safe.”

“They may leave we only need you” said the same man

With a nod from the old man the principal took action. She summoned a magic circle in the middle of the hall and gestured to all the students to step inside.

Before we could teleport away the headmaster released his stance and let the men capture him but he still said one last thing.

“Kazehara I leave all the work left to be done to you.” She nodded with a tear dropping on her left cheek then he turned to me and said

“Shiki…take care of my grandson”

Then we were out.

We teleported near the aircraft that got us here and were hurriedly pressed ti get in.

Leaving Quietus I felt a bit of relief but I still had that bugging feeling about Asura…

If he truly was a contractor…why would he bother doing all of that for us?

***

A small conference was held in a room that was designed to host those who are of the highest standing in society.

The room was decorated with various artefacts including shields and swords from an age long gone even the walls had the head of several animals a d sacred beasts stuck to it as decoration.

The room had a wide window that the queen Elianor was looking through. As for the other three figures they were all seated around a round table in the middle of the room.

“This is outrageous!!” said the queen of the Astartian kingdom

“Your majesty this is for the best…even I did not think it would be possible for Asura to be one of those things…I would have never agreed for Mr Gaz to be apprehended like that especially by those people. But the fact that I received information telling me that Osfor was doing illegal experiments here in my city made me act like this…it’s better for us that they handle these things.” Said the lord of the Quietus region

“I knew Ryouka Gaz since long…he is a ravenous beast when his pride is damaged and I can assure you that your actions here against him will not go unpaid for.” Said the minister of defence Gligan Brisht

“Will someone at least understand my position here…I have my back to the wall I cannot do anything else…the people will lose faith in us if we do not deliver punishment…and not only from this region all of yours…they will think we became soft and this will only lead to more trouble we have to act firm and decisive.” Said the lord while massaging the bridge of his nose.

“I do agree with lord Koldich” said the prince Ardous Giive then added “those savages needed to be disciplined and this just showed us their true colours. I say that that man to be executed as he is the one responsible for all of the deaths of the enforcers and the people who fought to stop that thing.”

The queen roared in anger and replied to the boy that was acting with clear prejudice against the Head of the Alsian country.

“BOY. Dare again disrespect that man’s name and it shall be the last thing you say. And one more thing not only Asura was possessed I think his possession was triggered because he came in contact with the kid from the Astorian team”

The minister rose from his seat and shouted

“What are you trying to say Queen Elianor?”

“Exactly what you are thinking. You should also be held responsible for that kid.”

“Now listen up” said the lord of the region with a high pitched voice that clearly depicted his growing displeasure. “We do not want to destabilise this already fragile peace between all of the countries of this damn land. I assure you that I will get the lord Gaz back from their hands as soon as I can. As for Asura’s body or the professor Osfor I cannot as they were held on firmer evidences and cannot be released.”

“Why do we have to listen to them? We could crush them and get what is ours” said the queen

“It is without doubt the thing I wish to do the most but as they are now they cannot be eradicated from these lands without sever setbacks. They hold great economic influence over all of our countries and were partially the reason why all of us stood back on our feet. Taking them down right now will probably instil a civil war that could threaten our very own existence.” Said the lord Koldich with a grim look on his face.

“Damn it to hell, they are toying with us as they please…I need to contact my husband these events had left a bad taste in my mouth…I wonder what would that man feel now that this boy is dead”
