Chris cracked his neck and pulled out his bloodied staff out from the girl's head. It was obvious from her surprised expression that she wasn't expecting her downfall.
The staff shrunk as he willed it and he casually stuffed it back to his pocket. He looked at the left side and found the crimson ball silently bounce from its location.
He find this ball almost akin to his armament so he picked it up and stuffed it inside the port card he purchased before.
"Let's observe for now."
Chris decided to kept his silence and casually strolled back towards his dorm room.
Few minutes after he closed his door, he closed his eyes and focused all his senses to his hearing. It didn't took long before a staff found the almost delapidated hallway.
Multiple cracks are found from the walls and floors. The other ornaments and statues already reduced to pieces and debris.
There's also the shattered pieces of glass that came from numerous damaged windows. All this made the staff hysterically shout in surprise.
He soon called the professors which came running in full speed. They were flabbergasted with the destruction of the dormitory hallway but they soon realized a discrepancy.
"Check the perimeters for any Curse Object! You, call the other staffs and check the vitals of the students."
They immediately moved in coordination as they make a search and destroy operation. They were able to find the corpse of the little girl and soon after, academy staff barged in to every dorm rooms.
It didn't took long before they found Chris whose casually looking outside the window. He listened to every conversation but focused more to those who are doing a search.
"I found a wake student!"
The staff who entered his room immediately reported before checking his vitals.
"Do you know anything of what transpired outside?" The staff asked while checking his pulse.
Chris however is not listening to him as he focused on a conversation from somewhere.
"I found it! There's a Curse Object in room 404!"
"This should be an item from sequence 8 of Batibat. Bring it to Buckley and let him take care of it."
Loud footsteps filled Chris' ears after that small exchange. It was obvious from their hurried movements that they are on guard and currently proceeding with further investigation.
It didn't took long before Professor Port barge in to his room and Chris himself knows that he will be asked for many things.
The professor gave him a scrutinizing look while inquiring details that can be of help. Chris could only sigh in surrender as he reiterate what happened outside.
Professor Port did not reveal any sort of reaction but inside his mind, he is nodding continuously as he acknowledge Chris' abilities.
"You've done well, kid."
He soon walked out of the room but before that, he stole some few glances towords Chris.
'This kid has a huge potential. He just needs to deepen his connection to his attuned powers and he will certainly surpass me and the other professors.'
Chris, oblivious to the professor's thoughts just let out a snicker in disappointment.
"They should at least give me some rewards right?" He scoffed and let darkness swallow his consciousness as he falls in a deep slumber.
Morning came and Chris yawned sleepily while brushing his teeth. Though he doesn't have any prior commitments due to it being Saturday, he have some few agendas in mind that he'd like to accomplish.
'My weapons did no damage to that stupid kid last night. I can't just have Babel as my only weapon.'
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the crimson ball that he stuffed in his port card last night.
He immediately pulled it out of the card and inspected the mystical ball who kept on bouncing aggressively last night.
"What the hell is that creature last night?"
He came into wonder as he remembered the one on one lecture that he had with Professor Buckley before.
In that lecture, professor Buckley mentioned that once someone entered the sequence 10 or simply called Superior sequence, they will be attuned with the mystic beast that they 'consume.'
Aside from this fact, it was also mentioned that only those who attained Superiority can be called as Arcanist.
Arcanist is basically the word they labelled themselves as just to differentiate them from normal humans.
Setting aside those facts, one unique thing that happens when you attain Superiority is that you will come across your lifetime armament.
The origin of these numerous armaments are mysterious and the only thing that was recorded is that when one completes the tenth sequence ritual, they will soon come across an old human who will bring forth your destined armament.
Another important fact is that an armament is exclusive only to Arcanist. Meaning to say that the crimson ball he is currently holding right now could possibly be the armament of that little girl he fought last night.
"I should find the professor."
Chris stuffed the ball once again to his port card before strolling out of his dorm room garbed in his simple brown pants and white shirt topped with brown vest.
It was his most simple get up available in his wardrobe which is to his liking. His high boots made his pants puffy and his small bag strapped in his waist jiggle slightly with his movements.
He soon reached Buckley's office but to his dismay, the latter is currently outside the Charm Academia.
"No rush..." Chris let out a sigh and decided to deepen his knowledge by going to the library.
Meanwhile, the professor's are concluded their meeting and entered another room. They all have serious expression on their face while looking at the corpse of a little girl quietly sleeping in the operating table.
"I've run some simple test on the body... This might be an experimental subject of someone by fusing the girl and a mystic beast together in a very demonic way."
Professor Buckley gave the little girl's corpse a look of pity before he covered it with a white cloth.
"According to the student who fought it, he mentioned that the little girl possess a crimson ball that is akin to an armament. Should we take a look into that?"
Professor Port immediately retold the story that Chris mentioned to him. Buckley listened at the characteristics of the crimson ball and came into decision...
"Chris is a curious kid despite his demeanor. I'm sure that he will be inquiring about it and at that time, I can confirm if it is an armament of another curse object."
"That should be it then. I'll continue the investigation regarding the perpetrator while you guys focus on guiding the students."
Professor Minerva with a frown adjourned the meeting completely. She slumped down on her swivel chair and hurriedly pulled out her smoking pipe.
She puffed out smokes in frustrated manner while she looked outside t the window of her office.
She watched the students do their things on the school grounds still with her brows almost connecting with each other.
"Something big is about to happen."
Her frown softened as she directed her gaze towards the two individuals who are casually walking together. One is holding a book while the other held a basket.
'I'll kill you if I find out who you are!'
She puffed out another batch of thick smoke which enveloped her whole office before she vanished mysteriously into thin air.
