They all appeared in Girl's dormitory. Ikaria and Abel took off without even addressing Sophie. Xion was too angry with Sophie, his face got red in anger. He was roaming around Sophie with his hands in his hair. He kicked the table near him in rage but, the table did not move from its place. Dakota asked him to calm down but, he was not in his senses.
"Are you a child?" Xion yelled, looking at Sophie with his head down, finally blasted up. Sophie was sitting with her head down and had her hands tugged between her legs.
"Sorry," Sophie said with tears in her eyes.
"Now, you have started crying," Xion said, walking out of the dormitory.
Dakota signaled Laura and followed Xion. Laura was sitting with her hands on Sophie's shoulders.
"Xion is not angry...he is scared for you," Zale said. Sophie glanced at Zale.
"Take care," Zale walked out of the room.
Laura supported Sophie and took her to her room.
"Get some rest," Laura said.
In the headmaster office.
It's his new office, very different, not isolated like the previous one. The office had a big round glass window with the lines inbuilt. The scenery of the window was kept changing. There was no real view outside of the window. Draven was standing towards the wall, his back was facing his new fancy desk. The hanging candles in the air were lighting the room. He stood with his hands at the back. Master Wayne came through the door. He walked towards Draven with a smile on his face.
"Sir, Congratulations," Master Wayne said.
He swung his hand in the air. A bouquet appeared in his hand. Draven turned around and put his spectacles on the table. He walked with a horrified smile towards Master Wayne in slow motion. He was dragging his hand on the table. He stood in front of Master Wayne. Draven abruptly grabbed Master Wayne's neck and lifted him from the ground. Master Wayne trembled and felt pressure on his trachea.
"Sir...What happened?" Master Wayne asked, feeling being choked near to death.
"Do you know where your students were?" Draven asked, relaxing his back at the desk with one hand in the pocket. His expression talked nothing. He did not look angry, his expressions were...relaxed.
"I...d...on't know...W...hat a...re yo...u talk...ing about?" Master Wayne stammered.
Draven tightens his grip. As he saw Master Wayne was passing out he released Master Wayne's neck. Master Wayne dropped to the ground.
"Khak...Khak..."
Master Wayne was lying on the ground. He caught his breath. Draven went to his chair and sat, loosened his tie, corrected his hairs. Master Wayne slowly-slowly stood up. He took the support of the chair and sat.
"Sit and drink water," Draven said in a calm voice.
Master Wayne sat and drank the water. He emptied the glass.
"Your students were in the Malignus," Daven said, resting his chin on his fingers.
"What...I don't understand?" Master Wayne asked, looking confused.
"You don't track them anymore," Draven accused.
"I do, sir,"
"Then you would have known," Draven said.
"By the way...How did you get to know?" Master Wayne asked.
"Their headmaster is waiting in the other room," Draven informed.
"What...?" Master Wayne shouted, standing up from the chair was getting hyper. He was half-bent, his hand was on the table.
"How can you be so calm?" Master Wayne wondered.
"Inner me want to kill you, should I do that," Draven remarked, standing up from his chair.
Master Wayne looked down.
"How are they?"
"Angry, probably in the mood of a war," Draven said, patting on Master Wayne's shoulder.
"I am going to handle them," Draven walked out of the room.
Master Wayne projected himself to everyone at the same time. Only his face they were seeing. He was angry or ready to kill someone.
"Get to the class, right now," Master Wayne screamed, tossing his vocal cords.
In the classroom.
Everyone came hurriedly. Xion was still angry with Sophie and was ignoring her when she was looking at him. They stood in the horizontal line with their hands at the back. They saw Master Wayne with an angry look on his face. Master Wayne was roaming here and there with his head down and hands at the back.
"What you both did?" Xion asked in a low voice, glaring at Abel and Ikaria.
They both ignored him.
"Master...we are here," Xion said, loudly.
Master Wayne glared at them. He turned to them and focused on them, his eyes glowed. They lost control over their body and was lifted above the ground. They could not able to move their hands or legs. Master Wayne called them closer to him with his actions.
"What happened, master?" Xion asked.
"Why in the hell you went in Malignus?" Master Wayne shouted.
"Answer me," Master Wayne made a fist.
They started to feel pain.
"We will tell...but first, please leave us," Xion said, feeling pain.
All were in pain and their veins were popped out on their faces. Master Wayne released them. They fell to the ground and gasped. Master Wayne in anger walked towards Xion and lifted him from his neck. Dakota's eyes widened and pleaded. Abel was smiling. Ikaria was faking her smile, in her imaginations, she already killed Master Wayne more than once. Zale was more shocked because he never saw Master Wayne losing his temper. Laura was taking care of Dakota. Sophie's jaw dropped, she immediately ran towards him.
"It's my fault...leave him," Sophie pleaded, getting scared.
Master Wayne released him. Dakota sat beside him and took care of him.
"Tell me, everything," Master Wayne asked.
"You should have come to me," Master Wayne said.
"Then Sophie had to face disciplinary actions," Xion said, catching his breath, was sitting on the ground.
"It's my fault...I am ready for the consequences,"
"What all you did...was not right," Master Wayne said, turning towards Xion and was seeing everyone.
"Consequences...we all have to bear them,"
"What do you mean?" Xion asked, standing up.
Master Wayne enlightened them with the situation. They got shocked after was hearing about Malignus's headmaster.
"But Zale and Laura cleared their memories," Dakota said, coming forward.
"You cannot take shadows memories," Master Wayne informed.
Zale and Laura saw each other and was feeling disgusted. They were not delighted with the news and were perplexed too.
"What are we going to do?" Dakota asked, getting tensed.
"Headmaster, Draven is with them," Master Wayne told.
"Are they thinking of war?" Xion asked.
"Could be,"
"War," Sophie shouted, eyeball popping out the socket.
"Do sorry will not help?"
"This is not your human world," Ikaria commented. Everyone glared at her.
"Let's see what happened," Master Wayne said, getting tensed, was asking them to relax.
In the room on the big rectangle table Draven on the one end and on the other end Malignus's headmaster and his companion were sitting. The atmosphere was intense. The room was dark and was brightened only by the table's light. The upper part of the table was made of sparkling crystals. Instead of the brick walls, the room had calm waterfalls around the room. Draven sat with his hands on the table. Alastor and Jabez were sitting with straight backbone and hands on their thighs.
"Your students had entered into our realm without permission and tried to harm our students," Alastor, the headmaster shouted with an angry expression.
"I know...everything but first, your students tried to harm my student," Draven said, calmly.
"According to our students, Xion twisted their necks," Jabez stated.
"I am sorry for that...but no one harmed...," Draven stopped.
"Harm...you think we should take action when someone from us gets killed," Alastor interrupted, in a loud voice.
"We call for war...unless you want to settle with something else," Jabez said with a devil shine on his face.
Draven leaned towards the table, was narrowing his eyes on both of them.
Master Wayne was waiting for Draven in his office. The door opened with a loud thud. Draven in tension walked into his office.
"What did they say?" Master Wayne asked, curiously.
Draven stood near the desk with one hand in the pocket.
"That bastards want our human land," Draven growled.
"What should we do?" Master Wayne asked.
"I'll do something...leave me alone for now," Draven said.
Master Wayne bowed down and left.
Draven walked towards the wall where his portrait was hanging. He walked into the wall and came stood in his previous office. He snapped his fingers, immediately the room got darker. Draven walked towards his chair and stood in front of the desk. He touched the same round ball. The ball started to beep. After a minute the same man appeared with a blurred face.
"I was wondering...about you," The man said in a calm voice.
"Master, a problem has arisen," Draven said, correcting his spectacles.
"I know...about that,"
"...and I know they want human land,"
"What should I do?" Draven asked.
"Hold the tradition battle,"
"CURSE OF DUELS," The man said and disappeared.
