Akilia walked inside room 2 oblivious to the fact that it was me standing behind the door, I slammed it shut as she abruptly jumped at my appearance. She scowled at the sight of me now knowing I had tricked her.
"Wow. Irene Max cunning aren't you. So you were going to lock me up here and do what, because I don't think you want to mess with me!" She said in a threatening manner that I didn't find amusing as she chuckled as if she had the upper hand.
All of a sudden I pounced at her pinning her to the ground before pinning some thing on her wrist.
She got up to attack me back but staggered feeling drowsy, I already had the chair and the bars set out as I put it in front of her and said,
"Sit!" I commanded her.
She seemed to be confused by how she sat on the chair as soon as the command came from my mouth. She looked at her wrist and she finally realised. I had put a Commando on her wrist (considered as a type of drug to control or command people do do or say something.)
Commando's weren't easy to find but I know years ago my dad had a secret stash for who knows what, and my mom and my brother didn't know about it, but it didn't matter as it was going to prove its use today.
"Woww, y-you drugged me you bi-" She said while wobbling around on the chair like a drunk woman.
I had never liked Akilia she used to bully a lot of people, as someone who was socially accepted and quite popular I didn't take notice nor was I picked on. However, it doesn't excuse her actions towards some of the quiet girls in class.
Let's just say I was doing them a favour.
"Aki, let me get straight to the point. I need you to tell about your dear uncle who apparently works for the high council."
Her face turned dark, and she gave me a bitter scowl, "My uncle wow... it must have been that idiotic girl that told you, Wow! I cannot believe this-" she said agitated trying to fight the commando drug's effect.
I asked sternly, "I'm not here to ramble nor make small talk, just tell me because the more you fight back the more pain you'll receive. So tell me about what you know."
She grabbed the bar handles her nails digging in, and for a moment I felt bad for her it was not my thing to inflict pain on someone. That would be no different than what a bully does.
"JUST... Just tell me Akilia!" I yelled in frustration lowering my voice in fear that others may hear.
"M-my uncle...
he works...
for the high council and is a part of POCI (protection of confidential info)
he doesn't work directly for the high council but works as the secretary of the director of POCI. Therefore... he gets access to confidential information not more than 100 people in the whole of Tyleria could."
She said finally relaxing as the pain stopped, looking at me fiercely.
I stopped thinking and meditating on those words, I was recording through my holo watch on the sim card on my wrist which wasn't visible.
I thought he works for the head of that POCI thingy so that means he must know about Miss Dilica's whereabouts.
"What type of things has he told you and... how did you end up hearing about Miss Dilica?
What does he know about her?"
She looked at me annoyed at my curious face eager to hear her answer, this time she didn't try fighting the drug and gave in.
" He's told us lots of things at family reunions and parties since he likes to please and brag to my grandparents about how amazing his job is. He's told us things like how they secretly drug people who use magic and how... how they actually use magic to create weapons. That apparently Exylian leaders all trade magical items and weapons secretly. That's how we ended up finding out about Miss Dilica. However, we did ask him specifically and we told him about how she got taken away. My uncle seemed quite tipsy and he told us that she was actually an elite spy. An elite spy for the high council who disobeyed their orders, that she's been arrested for going against them. That she knows too much, so he said that he heard the officials and directors talking about killing her off... quietly. That's all I know."
I was stunned I didn't know she knew this much. I thought she was going to tell me minor information but this is... HUGE.
Exylian leaders... magic. There was an Exylum( Exylian world law - applies to every country in Exylus) law passed in Exylus that magic was strictly forbidden.
That means that they even fed us the lie that 80% of magic has been destroyed and that they are continuing to eradicate all magic. But they were really using it for their own personal reasons. I was shocked.
"Don't speak a word of this to anyone or else you could die. I don't even know why you would want to know this anyways-"
"Thanks. Sorry for the commando drug I just thought you wouldn't listen." I said as she seemed to be worried about my safety, which actually surprised me.
Akilia didn't seem like such a bad person after all she said as she didn't seem to be as angry as before. I removed the bracelet helping her up.
"I don't know... but I just hope Miss Dilica stays alive maybe I just had false hope that this info could save her but probably not.. But either way, she was a great teacher. I know you don't have bad intentions. BUT THAT HURT LIKE HELL." She said punching my arm while walking away, smiling.
All I knew is that I had to do something useful with this as I saw a black figure just flash by. I remembered Lu Jinyu's words about how I have to be careful, I almost forgot about that. Looking around cautiously before leaving the room abruptly.
