Deny, Deny, Deny

As I see them staring at me I quickly switch my view to Greta who is behind me.

Greta:"What? Is there something on my face?"

Dorian:"No I just thought I felt someone staring at me, it was coming from behind me so I thought it was you." I say lying with the expertise of a politician.

Hanz:"Sorry that was me, I was gonna ask for your notes at the end of class, you've been writing nonstop so I wanted to compare."

Confused I look down at my hand and see it writing down formulas on mana transference into runes.

Well look at that, talk about being of two minds. Didn't even realise.

I guess I was so focused on the Creepy Three, that my subconscious was paying attention to the lesson.

Dorian:"Sure dude, after class." I say while keeping watch on the trio out of the corner of my eye.

Those guys are still staring.

Fuck my life, this is bad.

Trying to ignore the imminent threat at the back of the room, I turn my attention to my notes to get a better understanding of them.

As I look at them I see how each rune has a very specific meaning behind them and essentially form a word. Each rune gives a different meaning for said word.

Sorta like how you have two words that sound the same but are spelled differently but sound the same, like your, yore, and you're.

Say I have a sword and I want to put a fire enchantment. I could put a rune that coats it in fire, or heat up the blade, or even shoot out fucking flame getsuga tensho's.

HOLY SHIT THAT'S AWSOME!!

My notes even have the approximate amounts of mana required to form these runes.

Did I get a divine revelation or some shit?

How the hell did I know this or even subconsciously write this down?

Helena:"DORIAN!"

Dorian:"HOLY SHIT! What the fuck!?" Why is she yelling in my ear? I look around and see Antonio and the others packing their stuff. I look to the top of the auditorium and see the Creepy Three missing.

They pulled a Batman.

Helena:"Class is over, you spaced out looking at those notes. Notes I might add look as if taken from a textbook. Did you study already?"

Dorian:"Considering the events of last night, no, not at all. I was just paying attention to the lecture."

Helena:"Also what's this about the three in masks and robes?"

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

Grabbing the paper I used to write notes to talk to Antonio, I crumple and burn it using Pyrokinesis.

Dorian:"Nothing, just trying to freak out Antonio." Man my lying skill is getting some use today.

Antonio:"I KNEW IT!!"

Dorian:"What the fuck is with everyone yelling in my ears? Dammit man. Anyway, see you later Ms.Helena."

With that me, Greta, and Antonio head to Pk (political knowhow's) class while Hanz heads to culinary and we meet Julian on the way.

As we get into class, the teacher, Mr. Mathews starts drawing what looks to be an evidence web with the names of different kinds of countries and factions here in the Eternian continent.

In the center of the web is the UFE, with the different allies and main supporters connected to it and their minor factions connected to them.

It goes like this, first is the UFE, then the United Eternian Forces or the UEF, goddam confusing in my opinion, then you got the United Trade Federation that even connects to the Lost Empire.

Now the trade federation has connections to every continent, even on Wrathalon due to the fact that adventurers on the continent will need supplies for exploring the ruins.

Then still connecting with the UFE, is the Adventurer's Union, Mage's Tower, Board of Education, and finally the Asassins Guild.

Apparently here on the Eternian Continent, they have sanctioned Assassins to help quell any power hungry individuals who think they are all powerfull. 

After that I pretty much spaced and ignored the rest of class and let myself blend in with the hundred or so other students in this auditorium.

After that me, Antonio, and Lilith head to Military Tactics(MT) class.

On the way I turn to Antonio and ask,

Dorian:"Hey dude why aren't you in magecraft class if you are good at tanking magic attacks? I mean wouldn't it help you if you understand how the magic you defend against works?"

Antonio:" I really just don't wanna stereotype, but from what I've seen from the students in that class, a lot of them are pompous assholes."I raise my eyebrow and look at him."Except for you though, your just an asshole."

At that we can't help but laugh as we walk into MT class.

The class passed by fast as Mr.Renagoth talk about the addition of magitech weapons into war and how it was introduced into war nearly two decades ago, after the technology was discovered on Wrathalon.

After that Antonio separates from  me and Lilith as we travel to magecraft class.

On the way I fell eyes on my once more and pretend to not look around while keeping an eye on top of the school buildings around us. As we get to halfway between the MT class, and the Magecraft building, I see in the distance on top of the Magecraft building the Creepy Three.

They're standing next to a few students who are loitering on the roof.

I connect mentall with Lilith and tell her how we have company.

Dorian:"Hey babe we have so admirers. On top of the Magecraft building dressed in white robes with white featureless masks. I saw them yesterday and today in my Magitech class. When I try sensing them it's as if there is a complete absence of energy where they are."

Lilith:"I don't see anyone Dorian. Are you sure?"

Dorian:"As sure of the fact that I'm a guy. I feel a sense of fear, of the death of all whenever I see them. Like everything is nothing. That truly terrifies me." I say as we pass underneath them into the building.

Lilith:"Have you told anyone else?"

Dorian:"Only you and Antonio. Though I told him through a note. Also Helena the magitech teacher saw it but I played it off as playing a prank to freak out Antonio. I have a feeling that those three are the ones who have been killing Lucifer's contractors. That or they are some sort of being looking to consume the talented individuals in the school. I fear the latter the most because it could mean they are powerful enough to not fear the consequences of a continent being after them."I say as I squeeze her hand, with cold sweat on my back.

Lilith:"Now you're scaring me Dorian. What can we do? I couldn't even sense them and I have higher psychic powers than you."

Dorian:"For now we bide our time. I will speak to Lucifer and get his opinion on the matter. I think it's a matter of being able to perceive souls. If that's the case I'll need the help of those versed in such matters. But for now all we can do if someone unrelated asks us...."

Lilith:"What do we do?" She asks me with panic in her voice.

Dorian:"Deny, Deny, Deny."
