“What should we do with them?” Leonard looked at the two students, whose gazes were blank and there were dark circles under their eyes

Alexander continued to torture them throughout the night and prevented them from sleeping

Leonard joined him in that

He became annoyed by this work

How are they supposed to keep scratching the plate all day?

So he suggested that they use a device to record scratching sound, and have these students listen to this recording all night long

Alexander nodded upon hearing Leonard's suggestion. "How could I not have thought of this damned, diabolical plan? Well done, Leonard." Alexander gave a thumbs up

"...." Is he praising me or cursing me?

They quickly started implementing this idea

The two sat on a chair drinking tea while watching the two students who were suffering from the scratching noises

Leonard was a little curious about what was going on with them

He asked Alexander about the reason for the abnormal behavior of these students, but Alexander refused to answer

This made Leonard sure that Alexander had done something to these students that made them hurt just by hearing the scratching sounds

Alexander got up from his seat and stood in front of the two bound students. "Send them to their rooms."

Alexander left the room without saying a further word

Leonard called some members of the student council to help him with this task

The two students who were tortured were completely collapsed

They won't be able to move for a while. So he must transport them to their rooms himself

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Alchemy was the basis for making all potions

It may seem easy at first glance, it is just a group of materials that you mix together to give you a specific effect.

But the matter is more complicated than anyone might imagine

A simple potion may require thousands or tens of thousands of experiments

Some of these potions have taken thousands of years of experimentation to work. There are potions that have killed their creators due to their dealings with dangerous spiritual entities

For every successful potion, there are thousands of failed or incomplete potions

Experiment and repeat

This is the basis of alchemy

Everyone focuses on successful potions because they are what give the desired effect

Failed and incomplete potions, no one will look at them because they have negative effects on the user

Why would someone care about a potion that could cause harm and potentially kill them?

But I was interested in these failed potions

There are a lot of pebbles but you may find hidden gems if you dig deep

Among them is a potion that was developed by some members of the Thief's Path

It is a potion capable of increasing one's awareness and sensitivity to one's surroundings for a certain period of time

But its effect was stronger than expected. The slightest sound will make them feel as if there is a giant bell ringing in their heads. Even a minor wound would make them feel intense pain as if they had been stabbed by a sword

This is what made them consider this potion a failure, so it was abandoned and they began developing a new potion

They didn't even bother giving this potion a name

I found this potion in the memoirs of an alchemist, who explained his failed potions and their strange effects

And here I found the potion that caught my attention

I wasn't thinking about using this potion on myself

I will use it on my enemies

The potion level was low and it was easy to prepare

The results of this potion were amazing and proved to be a double-edged sword

This potion is the perfect weapon to destroy your enemy without even scratching him

So I decided to use this potion to torture these students to stop the farce

This may be difficult for them, but the damage will last for a while and then they will recover

All I want is for rumors to spread that anyone who decides to ignore the rules and confess their love will be severely punished

Ring! Ring!

Alexander took out his phone and put it to his ear. “Have you found a new target, Megan?”

Megan's voice rang through the phone. “There are some students gathering near the third-year building. It seems that someone is planning to confess their love there.”

"Gather the men. I'll be here in a minute."

“As you command.”

Alexander walked towards the door and said to Leonard. "We found new prey, let's go."

"..." Do you consider students to be just prey for you to hunt?

Leonard followed him silently

The two arrived at a large garden

There was a group of students surrounding a boy and a girl

The boy was kneeling on one knee and in his hand was a pink letter with a heart

Everyone was looking at this sight with admiration

“Looks like we've arrived just in time.” A loud sound broke the beauty of this sight

Everyone turned towards the person who suddenly shouted

Everyone held their breath when they found out that the Student Council members were there

They were led by the notorious Alexander Ford

Alexander looked at the boy who was kneeling on one knee with disdain. “You don't have to creep like that to get a girl.”

" What did you say." The young man got up and looked at Alexander angrily

Alexander smiled provocatively. “Are you angry? Come on, come and punch me if you are a man.”

Alexander showed the side of his face and invited the young man to hit him

The boy was angry, but he did not dare to hit someone from the student council

" This is boring." Alexander whispered. Then he shouted an order. "Arrest them."

Megan and the student council members moved forward to arrest them

"I am waiting!." The boy took several steps back and raised his hands. “We didn't do anything wrong, why are you arresting us?”

Alexander took his glasses out of his pocket and began reading the charge sheet. “You have endangered the reputation of the academy, organized an unauthorized gathering, and encouraged students to do immoral things.”

Alexander took off his glasses and looked at the boy. “If you want to add more charges to the list, you can resist arrest.”

“This—” the boy tried to speak

But Alexander shouted. “Any words you say will be used against you. So I advise you to shut up.”

The student council members arrested them and took them to room '1010'.
