When we arrived at his office door, a brown wooden door with an array runic formations greeted us. The door was enchanted to make loud noises if someone tries to enter the room by force.

We slot the key into the keyhole anxiously, hoping nothing would go wrong. Thankfully our worries did not come true. The door unlocked with a click and the door swung open.

The room was just like what i had imagined. Piles of paper and books on the desk. Many cupboards full of books and files.

Me and Vivian immediately began searching the room after making sure there were no more traps or wards inside the room. Ciri was our lookout, thus she stood outside the room, pacing around the corridor. She would give us a signal, if Mr Chad was coming back or something unexpected was going happen.

“Ari, I don’t think we should do this, what if there’s a hidden ward or something that goes wrong,” Vivian said “ we could get into a lot of trouble.”

“ Don’t worry Vivian, we already checked the room, there are no hidden wards,” I said trying to calm Vivian.

“I don’t know..” Vivian said.

“ Don’t worry, if we get in trouble, i’ll be there with you and perhaps someday we would look back on this adventure,hehehe,” I chuckled.

“Okay then,” Vivian said softly.

We search through the whole room, looking through every nook and crany. We flipped through every book and files in search of incriminating materials. However we couldn't find anything. Everything was something a teacher would have.

“Dammit! Why doesn’t he have anything!” I complained.

“I don’t think he have anything thing here, i mean why would he even keep anything bad about him here,” Vivian explained.

“I’m sure he have something bad here, my instincts are usually right,” I persisted.

“Maybe we’re searching wrongly?” I questioned “ Maybe instead of searching through books and files, we should be looking for hidden compartments?”

I immediately unleashed my divine sense to cover the room, fazing through everything, allowing me to see every little thing in the room. From the small bumps in the walls to the misalignment of bookshelves.

My divine sense searched through the room, looking for anything that was out of place. It went through bookshelves, and cupboards, looking for any hidden room behind them, but no luck. Next it went into the walls, looking for things hidden between the spaces between the sides of the wall, but no luck either.

It was only after i sent it to search the desk that i found something out of place. There was a slight misalignment between the boxes. I ran my finger though the bump, feeling that there was a tiny gap.

“Got it!” I cheered “ There should be something hidden in this desk.”

I traced my fingers through the line of the gap to see the shape of it. The gap form a shape of a rectangle.

“ There should be a mechanism to open this hidden compartment.” I pondered as i search the desk thoroughly with my divine sense.

As it peered through the rectangle and inside of it, I saw gears and springs. I followed the gears to find the start and end of it. The end was connected to the rectangle while the start was connected to one of the stand at the bottom of the desk.

Curious of what would happen, i turned the stand clockwise. As it turned, i could hear the sounds of gears turning through my divine sense while Vivian just watched me play around with the desk.

The rectangle pushed forward with a click and reveal its hidden contents.

It was a laptop!

Holy shit, what’s this doing here!

“ Ari, what is it?” Vivian asked as she peered from my shoulder, her breast pushing against my back.

“ I don’t know.” I answered.

Why does he have a laptop?

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

I opened the laptop and pressed the start button. A light blue screen popped up as lines of words raced through it until forming the symbol of the legion.

WHAT THE FUCK! It’s the legion!!

Why are the legion here and why does Mr Chad have the laptop with the Legion symbol on it? Is he here to check up on me?

Many question sprung up as i saw the symbol. The shock evident on my face.

“Ari, are you okay?” Vivian asked in concern as I stood there dumbfounded.

“ Erm.. Nothing, i’m alright,” I replied as i gathered my wits.

“Lets see what this thing have,” I said as i scrolled through the wall of text.

“What are these words?” Vivian asked “ I’ve never seen any language like this before.”

“ I don’t know,” I lied. I knew exactly what language it was and what it was saying and obviously i couldn’t tell Vivian that. It was english, the language used by the Legion.

I scrolled through the text quickly as Vivian looked at me funny. I knew I was acting suspicious by doing this, but i didn’t care. I needed to know what’s going on. My mind to occupied in knowing more about the Legion.

As the mass of text wave by, i finally stopped when i read something interesting.

“Subject Anna seems to be acting strange, I’m not sure whats going on but It could be becauses she is sent here by her father.”

“Subject Anna is together with Experiment Black death, i’m not sure why she is getting together with subject death. I have tried to split them apart, but Subject Anna is acting strange.”

“I’m not sure what Subject Anna current plan is, but i believe that she was sent here by her father and she is now trying to work hard and get back there.”

“I will reply more when i have more information.”

Wait! So Mr Chad is working for the Legion and he’s watching me?

Whose experiment black death?

The only one that fits this profile is Vivian. They named her as experiment black death.

Why is she called experiment black death? Could she have been experimented on by the Legion?

Working that out, i could not stop myself from looking at Vivion. As i gaze at her, she watched me in confusion.

“Ari? What’s going on? Why are you looking at me like that?” Vivian asked.

“Nothing,nothing.” I said as i turned back to the laptop.

I don't think she knows anything about this, i should just find out more from the laptop first then ask her.

I returned to looking through the wall of text, trying to find out more. More and more questions popped up as i read it. It mentions the state of this academy and this city. The weak points, the teachers and instructors and much more. It seem as if he was sent here to spy on this academy and me. It also states of how he took over and replace Mr Chad. The laptop contained the messages Mr Chad sent to the Legion headquarters. Some of it was about me and how i was doing.

As i scrolled further down, I found out about many disturbing stuff. It talked about how Mr Chad has been kidnapping children from the city to be sent to the Legion research facility in Iranda.

“Ari, are you okay, your face turned ugly as you skim through the text?” Vivian asked “Ari, you can read this language right, if not you won’t be making that face as you look at these words?”

“Yeah” I answered without even realising it. My mind was too blown by what i was reading that i didn’t even pay attention to just replied.

More and more disgusting thing popped up as i scrolled more and more. He described in vivid detail about each student and how the research and experiments on them work. I continued reading as Vivian shook me, trying to get me to tell her what i was reading. However, i was too stunned and focused on what i reading to reply.

When i reached the last page, i almost puked. My breakfast rising up as i tried to stop myself to puking at the pictures. The pictures were of naked children in chains. Some were pictures of them being experimented on, while the rest were mugshots of children with IDs scorched onto their heads.

As i was stopping myself from vomiting out my breakfast, i failed to noticed the expression on Vivian face. It was on full of terror and anger. The mana around us boiled into life as black dark energy seeped out from Vivian. It took me a moment to collect myself and noticed what was going on.

A large pressure burst off from Vivian as more and more black tendrils of mana form around her.

“Vivian!!” I screamed at Vivian as she stared lifelessly into space.

“Vivian what’s wrong!” I screamed even louder as i shook her violently to stop her.

“Vivian stop what you are doing, you’re going to expose us!” I screamed again as i placed a large mana sphere around her to prevent other from noticing the disturbances.

Shit! This isn’t working!

Why is Vivian acting like this? This must have something to do with the pictures!

Dammit, I need to stop Vivian from leaking all this mana, or else we will be exposed.

My heart was racing as i thought of what i should do to stop her. I had already used my mana to stop hers from leaking but this was too much. Her mana pool was higher than mine.

Shit! What do I do! What do I do! If she don’t stop right now, people will start to notice the mana fluctuations!

I need to shock her.

I’m sorry for this Vivian!

As it was about to get out of control, there was nothing i could do other than using force. I summoned wind blades after wind blades and shot at her to shock her. However, the black tendrils just moved in the way and blocked it. I increased my mana output on each windblade to get through the dark tendrils but it was too strong.

Dammit! I’m sorry for this Vivian but I have no choice, i need to use a stronger attack.

Cyan colour lights swirl around me as i used my next spell. The wind mana solidating in front of me to form a long spear. Sharp winds stormed around the room as the spear started to rotate. Like a cyclone, papers and books flew around from the large winds from my spell. As the spear rotated faster and faster, the intensity of the cyclone increased.

As it reached the maximum speed it could rotate with my mana, the spear shot forward at a blitz speed. The spell piercing spear was my strongest single target attack i could muster.

As the spear got closer to her, the tendrils shot forward together and weaved in a criss cross pattern to block the attack. The shield made of tendrils bent as the spear pushed against it. It bent further and further back as my spear started losing momentum until it stopped just right in front of Vivian.

How is she so strong! My strongest attack isn’t even enough to get to her.

Just as seconds before her mana pressure got out of control, an idea popped into my mind.

Wait!

When i got close to her just now, the tendrils did nothing, only when my mana was used did it stopped me. This means that if i want to shock her, i need to do it myself and without mana.

I leap forward onto Vivian and violently shook her as hard as i could to stop her. I tried to slap her awake but the tendrils caught my arms.

Dammit! I can’t use force! That means this is the only way if i can’t use force.

A young girl most precious thing is her first kiss! This should shock her!

My face went close to her. I could see her beautiful in vivid detail as my face was mere inches from hers. I could feel her fast breath as i got even closer. Just as mere moments from the mana sphere breaking, my lips met hers. Her soft pink lips mashed onto mine as i kissed her.

Everything stopped as Vivian eyes popped out in shock as i passionately kiss her. All the mana fluctuation ceased and the black mana tendrils disappeared. I kissed her and held her in my embrace until everything was over and Vivian was under control again.
