[Third Person POV]
Ten minutes before Clara's attack.
The system had pin pointed the other imposters location. The problem was if Ryujin moved Clara would be notified immediately. Even if he called someone those two would be alerted.
'System message Adam. Tell him to go to the A-A-A location and distract that professor.'
[Ok]
Ryujin could message the teacher but none of them were in the academy. Today was Sunday and it was already 7 pm.
Ryujin also had faith in Adam.
'Adam just make sure not to go overboard.'
******
[Adam's POV]
"Today is such a boring day."
All I did was play games. I messaged my friends but all of them were busy except Ryujin. He didn't respond to my message.
"Ting!"
My smartwatch rang and I checked my message.
(Ryujin: Go to the A-A-A location and distract that professor.')
I didn't know why he he wanted me to distract the professor but still I went to that location. I brought my sword and some mana potions just in case.
The place that I went to was an apartment near to the academy. The guard at first stopped me.
"I am actually an disciple of Professor Heimen from today. He told me come to this location."
The guard didn't believe me. He gave me suspicious look.
"Hmm! But professor Heimen never had a disciple as far as I know and he also doesn't seem the type to take one."
Shit. What lie should I tell? I am not a smartass like Ryujin.
"You are a part of the Emmitt family. Sometimes, it is good to use your influenece. That is your unfair advantage. Acting as a privilliged young master may help you one day "
I remembered what Ryujin said to me once. Why did I remeber it now?
I showed the guard my id and said
"He probably never had a disciple because they were never capable as me."
The guard was shook when he saw my family name. He handed me my id and gave me a deep bow.
" I am sorry for the trouble. I will call Professor Heimen and say you are here."
"No need to do that. I will meet him myself. It is your job to guard the people here and I don't mind you stopping me."
The guard looked at me admiringly. I just walked past him and went to Professor Heimen's room.
I rang his door bell. He didn't answer so I pressed on the door bell again and again.
"Who are you?"
Professor Heimen asked me from the door's security system. I waved at the camera at his door.
"Professor.Its me Adam. You have been called to the academy for some work."
I just made a balant lie and it probably wouldn't work.
"Why would the academy send a student personally and not call me themselves?"
Shit! I messed up again.
"Um.. Actually I need your help with something and the academy provided me your location. Can you just open your door?"
Professor didn't reply to me for a good few minutes. He opened the door. I had never seen him.
He had lost all the hair on his head. Wrinkle covered all of his face. His black eyes seemed to have dulled as his life had passed.
But what does Ryujin want from this old dude?
"Come inside."
I causually entered his room. I was checking out of his room but suddenly I felt ominous aura from the back. I took out my katana and blocked the incoming attack.
Professor tried to stab me with his knife but fortunately he forgot to control his deadly aura.
" This is some good guest service."
Professor looked at me and said
"It is about to get even better."
I could feel ominous mana from his whole body. I was slowly getting pushed back. He pushed me towards the edge of his window.
"Don't worry I will tell your family that you couldn't handel your studies welland killed yourself."
" Lets see how you do that with such an old body of yours."
Even though that I said that I couldn't push him. He was quite strong.
My body was now at the edge of a window. One push and I was done for. His apartment was quite high and would result in immediate death if I fell.
"I told you not to do something stupid."
Ryujin said while looking at me. He was standing right at the ledge of the window.
"How the fuck did you get here? This is the 20th floor you know."
Ryujin made a dumb expression.
"What do you mean how I came here?I jumped."
Of course you jumped. If it was that easy would'nt I do it as well.
The Professor staryed panicking. He let go of his knife and ran towards a crystal ball. He was stumbling while holding the ball.
"My lady. He-"
Ryujin kicked the professor right in his face. The kick was so hard that the remaining teeth on the professors mouth fell out.
"So another mission of yours."
I knew Ryujin was the Rune Mage. I accidentally found out about it in middle school.
"No! The Oppressors are after Ciel. They are targeting the whole academy."
Ciel? When did he get so close to her?
Wait! Attack on academy?
"What? When? Who is attacking?"
Ryujin didn't answer me this time. He called someone on his phone.
"Yeah!It was one of the professors but there is still one more. He is in this apartment at this location. Infrom the heroes to take him."
Just from his conversation I realized that the Oppressors were at it again. They never let anybody enjoy their life in peace.
Ryujin turned at me.
"We need go. I feel something is not right."
There he goes again. He has always been like this. He always feels something is not right and it is always true as well.
Ryujin then stood to the ledge of the window.
"Adam Come here."
I didn't like where this was going but still I went near him. He grabbed my hand and jumped off the building.
Yes, you read it right. This motherfu*ker decided to jump down from the 20th floor of a building.
"You demon at least you should have told me at first."
I screamed at him mid air.
He didn't respond to me. Once we landed easily without breaking any bones we ran towards the dorms. I tried to kick him but he easily dodged it.
Within five minutes we reached the boys dorm.
"Boom!"
I could hear a loud noise and soon girls screams could be heard. Slowly a blue colored barrier formed around the whole first year warrior department dormitory.
I could see Akio, Cary and Aqua running towards us.
"What in the god's name is happening?"
Cary looked at the sky and asked.
"Its the Oppressors."
I answered him.
"Ting!"
All of our smart watch gave a notification at the same time. We checked it and could see a monster chasing after the first year girls.
Ryujin started running towards the girls dorm immediately. I chased after him and Akio,Cary and Aqua did the same.
Ryujin turned back and shouted.
"Go back. Don't drag yourself into this mess."
"What about you? You will be in danger as well. I will come with you."
Akio said in a concerned voice.
"I have my Divine Ability. I will be fine. Plus you guys won't be able to enter the barrier."
"You can erase a bit of that barrier and we can enter through it."
Lucius tried to convince Ryujin.
Wait! Now when did this guys follow us? All of us were running and shocked that Lucius was here but none of us questioned him.
Ryujin sighed.
"Haa! I can't deal with teenagers."
But you are a teenager yourself.
"Just make sure to behind the trees and only act when I tell you to."
All of us nodded at the same time.
Once we were near the barrier Ryujin reached out his both hand and erased a part of the barrier. We enetered and soon as Ryujin entered the barrier closed itself.
"Can't we make a hole for the heroes to enete as well?"
Aqua looked at Ryujin and asked him.
"I can but it is gonna be too small and Clara will defiently see it happening and rush to kill the girls."
Ryujin replied him back.
"Now go hide behind the trees. I don't know if you can see it but there is a staff there. At the right moment we will have to take it out. Now go"
Ryujin kept running straight while we ran towards the trees.
The figure of him running to save someone always made me feel proud of him. He saved me once and has saved many others a swell. He will continue to do so in the future as well.
"Ryujin! Kick her ass."
I shouted at him.
He looked at me and shouted as well.
" That is my speciality."
