After some minutes to the trio regrouped awaiting Conor. Some minutes later Klaus asked;"Why hasn't Conor arrived,don't tell me he's that weak to have been beaten up by a wild stage".
"That's not possible maybe he was ambushed,I mean he's getting a rare flower". Allison rested her back on a tree.
"If that's the case why are we still here,let's go help out". Derrick became active.
"But we don't know his exact location". Klaus squatted tiredly.
"I remember him telling me the best was somewhere around the west of the middle forest,let's go quickly". Derrick moved as Allison dragged Klaus.
On getting too the west of the middle forest they searched different nest, encounter beast before finally locating Conor.
"The leftover aura of this beast doesn't seem like a wild stage". Allison inspected the pasty body of the beast.
"Yeah,seems like that if a spirit stage". Derrick observed alongside with Allison while Klaus carried the unconscious Conor over his back.
"Can we please drop this and head to school,this dude really got some weight,how are you guys even able to put up to the appearance of the dead beast let alone the stench".Klaus blocked his nose.
"Touch me". Derrick gathered essence.
"No that's not happening,Allison wha are you doing quickly get your hands off him".Klaus stared at Allison hand and Derrick shoulders.
"Fool we need to teleport". Derrick gazed at Klaus.
" We can't teleport into the school dumbass, it is surrounded by an array". Klaus stated.
"I never said we were teleporting directly into school,we are teleporting into the dark alley". Derrick activated his teleportic rune.
"You should have said that earlier". Klaus wobbly walked towards Derrick because of the weight of Conor on his back.

Upon their arrival at school Klaus said;"shit! I can't take him to the room those bitch of a roommate might see me".
Derrick place his hands on his chin and thought for a while;"You know what, Allison you may return too your dorm, Klaus you on my lead".
"Where are you headed?". Allison gave a curious gaze.
"To my hall of Sounds". Derrick walked a distance.

The next morning while Derrick and Klaus were preparing to head for their physical training they heard Conor voice;"How did I get here".
"That's a dumb question, Derrick do you think he lost his memory". Klaus frowned.
"It's not a dumb question,he's only shocked since he only remembers passing out". Derrick buttoned his shirt.
"Well I carried your heavy ass here". Klaus packed his hair.
"Thanks, promise to give guys an explanation after class". Conor rushed his preparation for physical training.

Later in the day they assembled at the hall of Sounds as usual then Conor explained;"First guys it was no fucking wild stage(F-rank) beast,it was a fucking spirit stage(D-rank)beast very tough too defeat but I scaled through but don't think that's what made me pass out,it was this". Conor released his aura and a dark mist was flowing out.
"What's that". Allison gave a curious gaze at the dark mist.
"I'm not really sure but I'm certain it amplified me,it made me stronger". Conor gave the dark mist an excited gaze
"Why don't we test it out". Klaus made several ice walls.
"That's okay by me". Conor used his aura shape skill shaping his aura into arrows. The dark misted aura shaped arrows completely shattered the walls and was headed for the main wall of the hall of Sounds but that wasn't happening under Derrick's watch,he created some spatial cracks which swallowed completely the dark misted arrows.
"~clap~clap~ Nice demonstration now let's sneak too the Dragons guild submit our report and collect our rewards. Derrick smiled sheepishly at his mention of rewards.
