Professor Nara walked over to the table and sat down, "Thank you for bringing the Council here Professor Adara." Professor Nara looked at Professor Adara and have a small bow. "Anyway, let's get down to busy. First off I am sorry for the delay everyone. I was a little occupied with something important. Secondly what is said in this room must not leave unless you want to be expelled or worse." Professor looked into the eyes of every student even Professor Adara to make sure they understood the consequences that would follow.
"Now then to matter that brought us all here today. Does anyone know what is inside that vile in front you." Everyone should their heads as they could not identify the substance inside the tube. "Good then what I am about to tell you is classified information for your ears only." At those words Professor put up a hush zone and several arrays that would prevent anyone from hearing the conversation that was about to commence and to keep unwanted guests away.
"What is inside that vile is known is known as the ZX3 potion. It was developed to be superior to the current potion that we use for combat. It was made to a team of medical professionals and the best healing mages in the world. It's main purpose was to help individuals with fighting on the frontlines. However, because of certain people it became a poison that would kill a mage unless they were helped immediately and by the correct people."
Jack raised his hand and then asked, "Sorry sir, but if that is a potion that kill mages, does that mean that Charlotte and Marco might die?" Professor Nara shock his head in response. Tears then ran down Emily's face because she was worried about her fellow classmates. "How do you know all this information Professor?" Jack asked.
"I know this because I am the one that ran the group to make this potion. I had noticed that the current potion could be improved and needed to be as a mage could not take more than 4 a day unless they wanted permanent damage to their body. I then put a team together to make a new potion which went horrible wrong, and I had it destroyed along with all the research material. The problem is that the potion has been altered to not kill but take away a mage's powers."
Everyone had a shocked look on their face at the statement, even Professor Adara was shocked at the revelation. "How is that even possible? A mage can't be robbed of their power! That is unheard of! It has never happened before and now you are saying that they will lose their powers! How is this even possible?" Bruno said as he stood up from his seat towering over everyone.
"Calm down. I didn't say that they will lose their powers. All I said was that the potion has been designed to do that. I have already developed a counter to it as it is very similar to the one that was created before." Bruno sat down and everyone present sighed in relief at Professor Nara's words.
"The problem isn't that Charlotte and Marco have been poisoned by it. The problem is that it got into this school in the first place. The school has a very strict process for potions that are allowed inside, and I always have them tested before allowing students to use them. I trust that none of you are involved and therefore need your help to find out who is in possession of it and how and where it is being made."
"We can not under any circumstances make this a big thing because then the culprits can hide away, and we will never catch them. What I want you to do is find allies who you would trust with your lives in the lower grades. I believe it is a new student because this potion only appeared now. It is either that or we have a very crafty enemy. I need you all to continue doing what you normally do and do not make people aware that you are looking into them."
"Emily I want you to remain behind to teach you the technique, for healing people affected by this poison. Everyone else find an individual in the lower grades who you think will be helpful so that we can stop this as soon as possible. Are there any questions from you?"
"Sorry Professor but what do we do with suspects or people we find in possession of the poison?" Ember asked while spinning her pins in between her fingers as they heated up.
"Nothing. Just bring those in found in possession in for questioning and those you suspect just keep tabs on and bring me their names so that I can make a full list of suspects and look into them myself. Also do not go around searching through everyone's belongings because we will get found out that way. Either sneak in when no one is there or discreetly look through while you are in there with your suspect. Do not do any that will compromise this operation. Do you all understand."
"Yes sir." Was the unanimous response from the council. Fynn then opened to dimensional tunnels that led to the Year 6 and Year 4 dorms. Jack went through the Year 4 one and then it closed behind him. He walked back to his room while pondering the Professor's words and the thought that someone in the school had purposely poisoned the top two students. He walked into the dormitory and the Dorm master saw him deep in though, so they didn't ask him what was wrong.
The Year 6's except Emily went through their one and Fynn followed, closing it behind himself. They were all scared at the revelation that the heard that night but decided to keep quiet and not talk about unless they were at a council meeting where they knew they wouldn't be heard. They each went off to their respective rooms without saying a word to one another.
Professor Nara, Professor Adara and Emily were the last one's left. "Alright Emily. I am going to explain this once so don't forget anything I say or show you." Emily nodded. Professor Nara got up and grabbed the vile from the table, "Follow me." Emily and Professor Adara followed him into the room next door.
