Distorted World: Rise Of The Black One - Volume 2 Chapter 90 50
“Ai: I really don’t understand why we’re doing this”
Airi said musing over her situation
She,Elise and Emile are going around interviewing every student under the guise of counseling students about recent events
“Em: well it’s brilliant if you ask me we’re all pretty popular so the students are more likely to open up to us”
Emile said flexing
“Ai: uh huh”
Airi looked that the exorbitant amount of boys behind them
“E: be patient this is just a fun little side quest the real fun doesn’t start until MUCH later”
Elise said stressing the “much” part
“Ai: what are you and brother planning? It’s so unsettling when you two cook up some thing elaborate behind our backs”
“E: don’t be worried everything will be just fine”
(E: I’m sure Asher has already catch on to it by now, I can’t tell exactly what mom is planning for the long run (although I do have a general idea) but Asher’s not the type to take lightly to being manipulated, If I know him as well as I think he’ll probably find a way to exploit and compromise with both sides while erasing his own presence in this matter)
Elise thought
Meanwhile…
A man sits in a pitch black room tied to a chair he is handcuffed with specialized restraints made to seal away magical power
Cold water is poured on the man waking him up
“(Gasps)…where am I?”
The man panicked frantically looking around but to no avail
“Calm down mr. Eric you are safe…relatively speaking”
A voice comes out from somewhere speaking to him
“Who’s that?”
The man asked screaming out into the darkness but to no end
“We are not allowed to disclose that I’m afraid”
The voice saids in a calming yet cold hearted tone
“What do you want?”
The man asked his eyes began slowly adapting to the dark making out what seems to be two silhouettes in front of him
“Simple, we want the truth, the truth of what happened in the incident yesterday”
The voice replied
“The truth? Look, I told the principal all I know yesterday, we were infiltrated by someone and were beaten because we were unprepared”
“You’re going to tell me that the most secured and secretive place on Avalon, filled with guards trained extensively for this situation was infiltrated by a minor?”
The voice said debunking the man’s argument
The man began to sweat trying his best to think of a way to escape
He then noticed something
Although the cuffs were made to suppress magic it cannot withstand his true strength as a beastman
“What are you implying?”
The man said his voice was calmer than before
“There’s was someone helping this intruder someone with great information on the layout of the complex, the way the security system worked and how to strike at the guard’s blind spot”
The voice explained
“I mean it’s pretty suspicious that only you and two others encountered the intruder when their are more than thousands of personnel on site”
The voice explained further
“So you’re pinning this on me? You have no proof!”
The man denied
“Calm down MR. Eric no one said that they were condemning you, although your reaction is quite interesting if I do say so myself”
The voice said keeping on with it’s uncaring tone
At that moment the beast man broke his cuffs by transforming into his true lion-like appearance with giant fangs and a l.u.s.trous black mane on his head lunging at the silhouettes
He kicked one of them to the wall and pinned another to the ground
“Interesting my a$$!! Now let me go or I’ll crush your f#cking throat”
The beast roared
“Now now, is that really necessary?”
Another different voice said, this one sounded like a jolly individual
At that moment the lights were turned on revealing the room the beastman was trapped in
The room was completely black with no other discernible features and the person that the beastman assaulted were nothing but rag dolls wearing clothes
“What!?”
The man shouted surprised
“Did you really think we wouldn’t anticipate something like this?”
The unemotional voice returned
The beastman finally found the source of the voices, a soul crystal on the ground next to him
“Now if you’re not going to cooperate, then we have no choice but to “release” you”
The blank voice said sighing
“What!? What is this trickery?”
The beastman looked around to see a door, seemingly the only exit to the room
“Go ahead, it’s not like we’re powerful enough to stop you from here”
The voice said
“What is this?”
The beastman was confused but he still approached the door
He tried to open the door carefully in case of a trap but when a touched the door knob, the door itself got sucked out immediately breaking like if he was in the vacuum of space
He grabbed on to both side of the door trying to keep himself from being sucked out
He was trapped in some kind of black box floating above the familiar sky-blue void bellow Avalon
“What!? How is this…what IS this?”
“Your grammar seems to be a bit limited, you’ve said “what” about three times already”
The emotionless voice said sarcastically
“F#ck you!! What is this? Stop, stop right now!, I demand that you stop…please!”
The man said, his voice gradually becoming desperate due to his slipping grip on the wall
“If you want this to end all you have to do is answer our question”
The jolly voice explained
“Okay okay, I’ll do anything just help me!”
The beastman complied
The black room flipped ninety degrees saving the beastman by pinning him to the back wall
“Now, what do you know?”
The robotic voice demanded
“Okay…okay, I’ll tell you”
The beastman said
After a while…
“And that’s all I know”
The beast man ended his explanation
On the other end of the communication line…
“As: so I was right! It is HER”
Asher concluded
“Si: …does Elise know about this?”
Sieg asked concerned
“As: no, she’s a devious one but I doubt she’s that malicious, although she does have an important role to play in this”
“Si:…I see, but why would SHE do this of all people?”
Sieg asked
Asher thought about it:
(As: I knew it! It was the principal all along the class, the class name, the peculiar interest that she has in me, the “coincidences” that keep me and Elise not too far from each other, the convenience of this incident, the almost too perfect scenarios that keeps playing out around me all the time ever since my admission into the academy…such a bold and intricate design could only be attributed to someone of Elise’s caliber)
(As: and now it’s all clear to me the “all jokers”? The coalition? It’s her playing her riskiest card for the grand prize that’s yet to come me and Elise are probably her aces in this 3d game of chess with the coalition close behind on importance in her scheme)
(As: she’s intentionally laying her machinations bare for me to pick up so that I can complete her master framework…)
Asher concluded
(As: but that brings up two questions 1. Why does she pick me specifically for such a seemingly important task 2. Who is she play against?)
Asher wondered
Meanwhile…
“Okay, I’ve told you all that I know about this, please just know that I don’t know who’s behind this nor do I had any intention of causing the breach in security”
The beastman tried to defend himself
“As: seems like he didn’t know that he was being controlled by the principal herself”
Asher said
“Si: yeah but we wouldn’t either without the information we gathered earlier, this guy just gave us the final piece to the puzzle”
Sieg remarked
(As: this principal Cornelia is good her control over this school is so elaborate that even when undeniable evidence is placed right in front of you, you wouldn’t even be able to know it)
(As: her induces events in such a pattern yet random-like way that even if someone like me becomes suspicious (which I have for a long time btw) I would never be able to know without her intentionally showing it to me)
Asher thought worried
(As: I wonder how much control does she have over me as long as I’m here)
Asher was slightly frustrated
“As: the culprit behind this incident is principal Cornelia”
Asher declared knowing what he has to do
“Si: what are we gonna do?”
Sieg asked
“As: call Elise, I may have an idea”
Asher said
