Darius was someone that everyone respected and feared. The students could barely look him in the eye, and the professors also tried their best to not upset him.
Why? He was a powerful man that had fought many beasts. Darius was once in the military, leading squads to eliminate the dungeon's threats.
"What do you want to tell me, Damian?" Darius asked after the two left the kitchen to speak in a more private place.
"You remember my name?" Damian said, gaping his mouth.
He had yet to stand out in the school. Vanessa was the only teacher that knew his name, but now was not the case. Darius, the most important person inside Garmony Upper School, knew it too!
"Why wouldn't I? I keep my eyes on promising students," Darius said, with a smile that send shivers down Damian's spine.
"I saw a man dressed in black-robes inside the perimeter where my class is taking the test. He killed a student! I don't know how the professors did not see it through the cameras!"
"What? Can you describe me the man's clothing?"
It was a strange question. When Darius asked that, Damian was almost 100 percent sure he knew who those people were.
So Damian explained everything and also gave his insights about the beast's attack.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"The beast attack is related to those people in black. Also, I bet one of them has some illusion type ability to mess up the cameras."
"Oh? You are correct, impressive."
"Huh?"
"The person with the illusion ability is called The Trickster. He is a wanted person in the underworld. I believe the organization he works for, the Fingers, is attacking the school. I still don't know why, though," Darius said, entering a deep thought, trying to look for answers why the attack was happening.
Damian knew it was for that key, but if someone as powerful as Darius did not know about it, then it was a secret Damian did not have the right to share.
"Don't worry about it, Damian. If the Fingers are here, then I will join the fight, and if I do, they have zero chances of winning."
That was a sentence only a confident person would say, and Damian believed him! It gave him a feeling of 'it does not matter how many enemies Darius will deal with them.'
The two returned to where everyone else was with Darius, walking toward the other professors for a talk, presumably sharing the things he had learned with Damian.
"What you and the rector were talking about?" Magnus asked the moment Damian returned.
"About the mysterious guy in the test. Darius said they are from an organization called The Fingers, and he will deal with them. I guess we have to wait here and see," Damian said.
Damian glanced at the professors, and saw them nodding after Darius said something to them, disappearing afterward, going straight to the where the test was saving the other students.
The professors stayed there, inside the school's kitchen with all the other students, defending the school against the beasts that kept coming from time to time. Its bodies scattered around the courtyard.
"What should we do next? I don't feel safe here," Theo said, moving his head like a lost chicken, afraid something would appear out of nowhere and attack him.
Damian sat there, and something bothered him. The student who got killed in the courtyard a few days ago.
Was it Vanessa or the other masked people from that secret organization? Damian believed that was not the case.
They only used his ability to get that key, and also helped to defend the school against the beasts, meaning they were not looking to cause any harm to the school itself.
"But someone killed that student…"
Something felt off about the situation. Damian was focused on finding the answer, but the sound of animals tossing their bodies on the door and walls echoed inside the kitchen.
"Everyone, stay behind us! The beasts are attacking!" one teacher said.
Panic stroke all the new students, but the older ones, who had more experience, were calm, and they also attacked the beasts when they destroyed the kitchen's door, rushing toward the students.
Aurora and Theo got close to Damian, and Magnus stood in front of them like a tower. The situation inside the kitchen went crazy, and some beasts attacked the students, as it was too many of them for the professors to kill it instantly.
One of these beasts came toward Magnus, yet with a single punch, it went flying across the room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe beast got up to attack again, but one professor sent a lightning bolt using the palm of his hand, frying the beast.
Theo looked at that and said, "we are lucky to have Magnus here."
Damian could not agree more with that statement. After a few more rounds of attacks, all the beasts perished at the hands of the professors and the older students, creating yet another pile of corpses.
They stood there, looking at the broken door and windows, waiting for more beasts to come, yet it never came.
"It is over… We did it!"
Everyone was rejoiced by the fact they had won against the beast attack, and after a while, Darius returned with all the students who were still taking the test.
Well, not all the students, four of them, died at the hands of the assassins.
"I captured the Winged Lion too and killed all the intruders. The test is over, and no one lost points. In fact, I will give all of you some points for dealing with the situation, especially you, Damian," Darius said, gazing at Damian.
The other students looked at him, and could not understand what was the reason for the rector's words.
What did Damian do? For starters, he was the one who quickly responded to the situation, warning the school about the attack.
"Did we truly win? Vanessa and this organization called the Fingers were looking for that key. I don't think I can trust Vanessa either, even though she helped in the end."
Damian, and each person present inside the kitchen sighed in relief, but then a huge bang echoed!
It was so loud the trees moved, and the walls of the school seemed to fall apart. The sound was coming from the school's library, and when Damian realized that, a bad feeling emerged inside his body.
