Returner's Revenge

The Night Before The Competition Continues

“I never knew you were housing a bunch of monsters here headmaster, especially that guy. As far as I can see, he is even stronger than the new addition to the Hall of Heroes at this point.” One of the heroes said as they sat in the table inside the dimension that the headmaster had made for them. “I have not been housing them and will not be. We did not even taught them something that you can call a trump card. All of that was because of their own training and we have nothing to do with that at all. But still, their performance is better than the competition before this.” The headmaster said with a smile on his face.

               The other heroes could not help but smile at him after getting blessed with such talents. “But what is it that you want to tell us earlier during the competition? I find it to be more important than our small talks about their performances.” The female hero said and the complexions of the heroes turned serious. “That is the thing. Ever since he showed up and shake the hierarchy in the academy, everything seem to have changed. The prince and that person had already felt this. And I have already discussed it with the two. That person also mentions that it had already happened before. We should be aware of what he meant since we are a big part of it ourselves but it looks like they have intervened once again.”

The other heroes then froze in shock after hearing this. “Then that would mean that he is under the guidance of those beings. That would explain his performance today.” the hero with the glasses said but the headmaster immediately rebuke his conclusion. “I have already confirmed it and he is not under their guidance just as He was. My astral eyes can see them even in the slightest of essence but he does not have a single strand of hair nor dust form those beings.”

               The headmaster then places a pebble in the table and shows them images of the things that he have seen with his awakened ability, they were all shocked when they see Kris’ figure entirely covered in glowing orbs with different colors, colors that they have not seen before in other f*******n spells.  The hero with the glasses turn to the headmaster in confusion. “I know. Io share your confusion in the matter and am a bit disappointed in myself for not being able to see through things properly.” The headmaster then bows his head gently to apologize to his peers but the other heroes did not mock nor look down on him for that.

               “If you do not know how those things appeared then that would be more if we are on to use our abilities. Your ‘Astral eyes’ are considered to be the strongest that even the master have acknowledge it himself. If you say that you do not even know how it turned out like that then there is no reason for us to doubt you. But does he have a guess as to what made that student strong?”

               The headmaster looks at the hero before answering with a down voice. “He does not know as well. He said that there are no records of that ever happening in their library, he had been monitoring those kids while they train and he did not see an instance that something is guiding them. It was all as if that student know what to do before he does it. Its like he have already seen it coming.”

               With that much uncertainty, the heroes and the headmaster hit a wall that harbors more questions than answers. “But if there is one thing that he is certain, it is that there is a dark time coming in our history that is about to come. Mephisto is already checking if he is on our side and he confirms that he is not on that side. Therefore we will allow them to grow strong to be able to aid us in the future.” The headmaster added.

               “If he is so then that would be a great help for us in the future. If Mephisto says it himself then we can be certain that he is telling the truth.” The hero with the glasses added. “Yeah, he may look unreliable but Mephisto is the best hero for investigation. He seems to have a knack for it even though his personality screams boring.” The female hero said while chuckling. “Now that you mention it, where is that guy? Doesn’t he need to be here as well? Isn’t he also a hero?” she added but the headmaster tells them that he is on the look out. “He is here. That’s why Mephisto is on the alert.”

               “That guy? He’s here?” the other heroes asked. “Yes, I have sensed him myself but I did not expect him to be here. I guess this is teacher against his student type of thing.” The heroes shake their heads in dismay. “Fate sure is cruel. For them to be on the opposite side. What a cruel fate they have.” The headmaster said as he turns to where Mephisto is standing.

               [Where are you Rubic? This time, this time I will make sure to erase you myself.] Mephisto says to himself as he leans on the wall while sensing everything inside the academy with his eyes.
