Chapter 29 - Dark Arts (Part 2)

"I am sure the Phoenix told who The Seven are know but not who they were," Professor Nara seemed confused at those words. "What I mean is that the Phoenix told you that The Seven are some incredible dangerous individuals with unforetold power. They all used to be protectors of the world, but they turned their back on the world when they each lost something important to themselves and gained something new in return."

Professor Nara looked even more confused, "What do you mean they were the protectors of the world? I thought they were a threat to the world and how do you know so much information even though our records have nothing on The Seven."

"Of course, your records have nothing, The Seven are the ones who created those records." The two Professors were shocked at the revelation and then thought about everything they knew and whether or not it was a lie or the truth. "As for your other question I can't answer unless I wish to endanger myself and others around the world. What I can tell you, however, is that you can find out if the Phoenix offers you something, but I won't do such a thing as you are to young to handle it in my eyes."

'What does she mean too young and how are the Phoenix and Mrs Ferg connected. This doesn't make any sense. I know she is hiding something but what secret is so big as to have to get another's permission to get access to it.' Professor Nara thought to himself. 'I won't pry further but it is bugging me.'

"Anyways, enough about me and my past. Professor Nara could you continue with your findings in your fight and intel from the Phoenix." Mrs Ferg said after both Professor Nara and Professor Adara had calmed.

"Very well. The phoenix did tell me some information that it said I couldn't spread under any circumstances. The only other information is that the cloaked man was the number 7 and that his disciples were there. The Phoenix said it spotted them 1000km away and that when it spotted them, they ran away, and it couldn't find them again. That's all I know and can disclose." The professor said as sighing from speaking for so long.

"Thank you Professor Nara for sharing with us and professors I'm sure you know but no one must find out about any of this. You can give a report to the Magical Association but the transformation of the Ogre and The Seven must not be mentioned. What you can say is that an unknown organisation attacked the school, nothing more." Mrs Ferg said in a firm tone.

"Why must we not let The Seven be known, wouldn't it better to let our allies know who we are fighting against?" Professor Adara asked. "And also, if we let people know about the transformation then our allies will know what is happening and stop it."

"I understand your concern and that you want to do this to help people, but it won't. The Seven have people inserted in high ranking areas of Magical Association and they would be able to alert them that you are aware of them and then you would be killed. Also, if people knew about the transformation then they would try and replicate it and then we would have more problems then solutions." Mrs Ferg said calmly.

Professor Adara tried to respond but no words came out of her mouth as she couldn't argue with that logic. "Very well, we will go along with your plan." Mrs Ferg nodded at Professor Adara.

"Now we better get back to our respective rooms before people notice we aren't where we are supposed to be and start answering questions." At Mrs Ferg's words she pointed her finger at the door and shot a beam of fire magic so hot it could go through rock. After she stopped there was a thump behind the door. Mrs Ferg got up and walked over to the door and opened it. She found a woman covered in black clothing and wearing artifacts that were supposed to conceal her presence.

"It seems there is even more problems then I thought there would be." Mrs Ferg destroyed the body with darkness magic after taking the artifacts and anything of value off the body. "I will see you two soon make sure you get to your rooms safely." Mrs Ferg walked away and disappeared into the shadows."

"I don't know what it is but there is something weird about Mrs Ferg. She seems different in a way. Do you feel it, her aura seemed to change from a nice old lady to a cold blooded killer as if she flipped a switch? She is dangerous." Professor Adara said to Professor Nara.

"And that's exactly why we keep her close. She is a secret weapon that no one can know about or expect. Anyway, Professor Adara you should head back to your room while I clean up that mess." Professor Adara nodded and walked out the door before taking flight and heading to her room. 'Why does she know much and can I really trust her.' Professor Nara thought to himself while cleaning the blood away.

After that night Professor Adara and the elders of the Magical Association gathered. He told them about the fight against the monsters and the Organisation leaving out the existence of The Seven and the Ogre transformation. The Association went into an uproar as no one knew their enemy and investigations were started immediately into the individuals who attacked the school and poisoned the students.

Around the same time the Beasts were having their own meeting and messages were sent to the elders that were holding The Seven back. More Protections were put in place and a search for the Seventh was started.

"How did you screw it up that badly. All you supposed was poison the students to distract the teachers and then take the boy. How did you fail at such and easy job?" The fourth shouted at the seventh's hologram.

"I'm sorry okay. The Phoenix was there what was I supposed to do, and that professor is more challenging then you said he was. I didn't expect him to move that quickly and have such sharp instincts." The seventh said in a nonchalant tone.

"Even after I gave you everything you would need you still couldn't get into the building. Plus, you could have easily taken care of that Phoenix."

"You don't seem to understand their was something else keeping me away from that building. I don't know what or who, but it wasn't safe in there."

"Enough with your bickering, both of you." At those words everyone went silent. "As long as he is contained he isn't a threat. If he comes for us however then we can finish him again like before. Until then try to bring him to our side before someone else like those stupid birds get him. Understood."

"Yes sir." The rest of the Seven said in unison.
