[Third Person POV]
Somewhere in a dark room there was a man sitting on a chair.He was simply tapping on his desk but the sound was echoing through out the room.
"Your lord, Derek has been captured."
A man with black hair and black eyes spoke.He was kneeling.
The man stopped tapping. He put his hand on his chin and said " Your brother was a dissappointment,Dex. He couldn't do a simple job of kidnapping students and stealing relics. I assigned him more than 50 pawns and almost all of them are dead."
Dex clenched his fist. He was definetly disappointed in his brother. However,he was also very angry that somebody foiled his brother's plan.
The man stood up and walked towards Dex. He put his leg on Dex's head. Dex didn't flich nor was he disgusted. He accepted the man's behaviour.
"My lord, I will definetly fulfill our plan. The world shall know what it means to mess with the Oppressor." Dex said confidently.
The man put his leg down from Dex's head and said" I trust you Dex. I let you see my face and you are my left hand man. Make sure nobody comes out alive."
"Yes my lord."

It had been almost a week since Ryujin caught Derek. The government interrogated him but he didn't speak even a word. They used every method of torture.
All Derek would say was " Be ready to die."
Ryujin couldn't interrogate him personally. Lucas was working day and night to find out about the Oppressor's plan.
Ryujin was a bit worried about what the Oppressors were trying to do so he started to run a investigation himself.
With the help of system Ryujin was able to find out three key information.
The Oppressor had stolen many items in the last few years. Most of the stolen items were cheap.
The second thing was that they were planning to do an terriorist attack and third one was that the attack would be done in Astrik city.
Ryujin had told this information to the Atropis and only to one person from the government. He trusted that person.
If the information was leaked then the Oppressor will change their plan and the chaos they would cause will not be stopped easily.
Ryujin was causually walking around the Astrik city. He was walking around the biggest shopping centre in the city.
Ryujin sixth sense acted since this morning. He knew something would happen in this particular area.
Every guild also had send their trust worthy heroes to protect the citizens.
The man whom Ryujin trusted had informed the guilds.
Citizens could be warned about the attack but that would cause mass panic and the villians could start directly attacking the citizens.
Even Ryujin didn't know the Oppressors full plan.
The mall was really big. Ryujin would not be able to protect everybody. He was only patroling a certain section of the mall.
Ryujin was using the system to appraise people. However he couldn't find anybody suspicious.
Ryujin sat on a bench. He was thinking about where the Oppressors would attack.
Suddenly his sixth sense activated. There was one place that nobody was supervising. The parking area on the ground floor. His senses were telling him to go there. He messaged Lucas [Be ready. The attack is coming.] Ryujin could only tell this to Lucas. He was here as a normal citizen not as the Rune Mage.
Lucas saw the message and informed every guild. All of the heroes inside and outisde the mall were alerted.
Lucas looked at the ceiling and said" Be careful Ryujin."

[Ciel POV]
Today me and my squad members were out to do some shopping. We were basically looking for items that would help us in the upcoming mock test.
We were in the largest mall in the Astrik city. We were inside a weapon shop. The academy would provide us weapon but we also had the oppurtunity to buy our own items.
The items would be evaluated by the academy before it could used in battle. Otherwise the students with huge amount of money could just buy a S- rank item and win every match.
As I was looking around for some items, I saw a familiar face. It was Ryujin. He was just causually walking around.
I mumbled to myself "I wonder what is he doing here?"
"Who?" Alice asked me. She must have heard me.
"No one." I replied to her
Emily brought her face close to mine and whispered in my ears " You are day dreaming about Ryujin right ?"
I slightly pushed her. " I didn't day dream about him. He was right there."
I pointed at the spot where Ryujin was walking. He was not there. He must have gone somewhere else.
Emily then looked at the spot and said "Hmm where? I don't see the prince of your dreams."
As she said that Alice and Anna started laughing while Akio was holding back his laughter.
I couldn't say anything. I just moved on and started looking for items.
It has been a while since him and I talked. We have not talked with each other since our presentation. He didn't even speak to me when he fixed Anna's wand.
He is always the one initiating the coversation. I have never made the first move. I should try to initiate a conversation once.
As I was thinking about him, I could feel the ground rumble.Then suddenly I heard a huge explosion.
"Boom!"
I could hear people screaming.
The whole building was shaking. I could see fire forming on the ground floor. Fire alarms were ringing. It was a total chaos.
. Me and others,even the store manager slowly walked out of the store.
Once we got out of the store, all I could see around me was absolute chaos. Heroes and villians were fighting. The sound of weapon clashing was ecohing through out the mall.
This was not a fight us students could fight. We looked around and saw some people trying to evacuate. The heores were guiding this people.
I pointed at the spot and said "Lets evacuate."
All of them nodded excoet Akio. He wanted to stop this villian but he was weak to do so. He followed us.
While we were running towards the evacuation spot. We were getting closer but the floor we were standing crumbled.
I immediately pushed store owner so he wouldn't fall. All of us fell down.
I could hear Anna mumbling.
Before we hit the ground the wind cushioned our fall.
Emily looked at Anna and gave her a high five for saving us . We stood up and looked around.
Alice looked around and said "We must be in the parking lot. Lets get ou-"
"Boom!"
A large explosion occured while Alice was speaking. I immediately chanted "
Once the explosion ended. I let go of my ice wall.
"Lets go" I pointed at the exit. As we were heading towards the exit, I could see three villians at the exit.
All of us summoned our weapon from our spatial storage ring.
Akio seathed his sword and said "Lets finish this as soon as possible."
If we had to survive we had to fight. This is what life is. If you don't take from others you lose yours.
