"Let's follow Rika for now," Claire helped me out.
I nodded my head as I began to lead them towards the dormitory with the best route possible. With Luke holding onto my hand, I took a longer time to jump towards where I wanted to go. When Jules was walking a bit too far away from the rest of us, I yelled, "there's a crater towards that direction."
His eyes widened as a few metres in, an actual crater appeared. I knew I was teeming with suspicion when I told another one of them a few steps ahead, there would be a pool of water fizzing with some electricity inside. Thanks to my warnings, they shiftily avoided everything with a bit of surprise present in their eyes when everything I said was true. Within ten minutes, we were able to come to the safe dormitory when it would have taken other people hours.
"It's like you know where everything was placed," Ethan commented.
"I do know where everything was placed," I confessed.
"How?" Charles began to suspect me again.
"I told you, I was with the magician the entire time," I wasn't going to reveal any more than that.
"It's like you saw a map of the entire place with all the attacks placed on them," Lucius derived most of the truth from my actions.
"Maybe?" I looked away in another direction.
"You totally saw the map!" Charles yelled.
"Hey! I tried to convince him to give you guys less dangerous attacks!" I spun to defend myself.
"Don't tell me the thunderbolts were your idea!" He blamed me for the later attacks.
"I thought the thunderbolts would be easier to avoid! I got rid of the tornados and laser beams for them. But you guys all ran together, making you an easier target. Like how could you avoid all the safe spots and only venture into the dangerous ones the entire time?" I accidentally blurted.
"You watched us the entire time?" Charles got madder.
"I distracted the s-class monster during that time too! The s-class monster probably exhausted at least half of his mana from my attack! I didn't only watch you guys suffer. I also practiced using disintegration on the teacher's office to get our revenge," I hoped it could make up for it.
The people went silent from my confessions. I began to hide behind Luke as he stopped holding my hand from almost all of his guilt vanishing. Instead, he sighed as he apologized to all the people who worried for me. It wasn't my fault the magician was friendly to me, treating me nicely the entire time. I was also the one who led them out of the mess so that we could heal the people who were injured faster.
"So is this what happened? The magician took you from Luke, pulling you into the sky. You watched us from the sky, looking at his map the entire time where he did all the attacks. He taught you some spells in the meantime as well while you suggested some things to switch up the spells. But you also somehow got information from him to distract the s-class monster he was acquainted with," Lucius summarized everything almost perfectly.
I nodded my head, not telling him I was the main target from this plan from the s-class monster. This would make things worse than it already was. But there were some things I needed to warn them about, "the magician only took me into the sky since he didn't want any innocent people to be involved in the attacks. That's why he didn't touch the dormitory. But he plans to continue the attacks tonight as well. Everyone here that's a descendent from whatever families he has a grudge against will suffer again."
"But we're safe outside the school. He told me to escape during the day!" I gave them some good news.
"So he doesn't know you're engaged to Luke?" Claire pointed out.
"He just said I don't have the same bloodline as you," I continued to use Luke as my shield.
"You need to tell us everything Rika," Lucius noticed I was still leaving some things out.
"I did tell you everything I know," I avoided his eyes.
"Rika, tell us everything you know. We won't hold it against you," Luke turned to me.
I knew they wouldn't hold it against me but confine me somewhere instead. Even the magician pitied me, considering my life to be worse than his. This was why he was very generous towards me, teaching me new spells. Why did I feel like I would rather be with him than the people I was with right now?
"Then you won't lock me inside any of your mansions? Or the rooms inside the mansions? I'll still be free as I am right now?" I needed to make sure.
"You're the main target, aren't you?" Luke immediately discerned.
"I'm not! Then why would I be in the sky this entire time?" I quickly refuted.
"You're coming to the mansion anyways. We can't continue staying at school," he told me the results would be the same either way.
"You know what I want," I clenched my hands into fists.
"We can always do this the hard way Rika. You can always stick to the schedule I planned while being inside the mansion. Or you can have the freedom to join and help us with this," Luke began to threaten me.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
