Monster Of School

Ryuma looked into Line's eyes with the eyes of doubt, Line then answered Ryuma.

"Like I said, I didn't know the whole thing. We were simply ordered to watch your guys as a teacher."

"So a teacher isn't your real profession?"

"Fine! I'll admit it!" At the same time, Ryuma and Jamis were so distracted by Line that Jin tried to take advantage by attacking Ryuma from the side. Jamis is the first one to notice it as he takes a shot at Jin. But that bullet was shifted by the paper as Jin used it to protect himself. 

Jin was about to reach Ryuma, but then the new figure joined the after-fight. Tenko smashes Jin into the wall, leaving Jin with broken bones on his body. Ryuma sighed as he scratch his head.

"You're late."

"Eh? For real? Tenko thought you all just get started." At the same time, the others arrived at the scene. Remilia walked forward as she shouted at Ryuma.

"Hey Ryuma! What was that broadcast all about!" As Ryuma heard Remilia's words, he then told the truth.

"Everyone, listen to me! The truth is, we all have been mind-controlled by The Sage!"

"Mind control? Heh, there's no way that thing exists." Said Lori with a smug face.

"That's what controlled people would say, you tiny kid."

"I'M NOT TINY!!!" Shouts Lori as she stomps the floor with her tiny feet. Ryuma then explained everything Ten told him about how they were able to accept killing is normal.

"Then, should we go to the Principal's office right now?" Said Verina.

"That's the plan. Tenko, can you watch for these two in case they try to do something?"

"Okay! Tenko will smash them to bits the moment they try to do something." As Tenko said okay, Ryuma started to sprint towards the top floor, right to where the principal's office was.

"Ok Tenko, you probably gonna lower the power in case you kill them." Remilia stands behind as the others follow Ryuma. 

"Oh my god! He's so fast!" But, they had a hard time catching Ryuma who's too fast as he's leaving the others behind.

...

Kiyo opened his eyes, thinking he met his end. But as he opened his eyes, there was a figure of Eden right in front of him.

"That was close you know? I almost didn't make it." Said Eden with a straight face. Kiyo gets up as he's still on high alert, just to find the remains of Rosa scattered on the floor.

"Did you..."

"No, it's from our dear sniper right there." Eden pointed towards the second floor right where Zoey is.

"Then what's the situation right now?" Kiyo tried to get up, but most of his mana was used causing him to drop to his knees.

"You shouldn't force yourself. The others are with Ryuma now."

"But, the whole thing hasn't yet ended. We've yet to see our future now, We must get moving..." Eden supports Kiyo as he's about to fall.

"Then, let's get going then." As Eden said, the two support each other in where their current objective is supposed to be.

...

Ryuma arrived in front of the Principal's room before anyone else. But, turns out it was locked by electronic locks. Ryuma tried to brute force the password, but it didn't go through. Then he tried to bash the door with his physical force which isn't working either.

As he was feeling tired and helpless, the door then opened a bit.

(What the hell?) 

Ryuma doubted his brute force did open the door. Perhaps, they're already people inside, that's what Ryuma was thinking. Ryuma takes a breath before opening the door. As he opened it, his eyes were locked on the figure who was sitting in front of the desk.

But Ryuma couldn't see the figure because the chair was as big as it was facing behind. Ryuma takes precautions as he steps forward.

"So, you're Melium huh? Listen here, I don't care if you're The Sage or whatever. But, I'll ask you right here right now. Please, turn off that mind control artifact and let us go." The atmosphere went silent for a few seconds. And then, the figure turned around as they showed himself.

Ryuma was really surprised when he saw the figure's identity. Because... that's the face he knew well.

"T-Ten?!" Ten, the figure who sits on the large chair, greets him with an expressionless face.

"Yo, Ryuma. It's about time you reach here."

"W-What? H-How... How could you..." Ryuma was expressionless because the real identity of Ten is...

"YOU'RE THE SAGE MELIUM ALL ALONG?!! AND YOU'RE 18?!!" Hearing Ryuma shout, Ten makes a confused face as he tilts his head. And then he said...

"Are you stupid? There's no way I can be The Sage. I mean, I can't use magic after all. If you're talking about my mirror..." Confusion arose between the two, Ryuma went to Ten and grabbed his collar.

"Then why the hell are you sitting here like a final boss?!! And where the hell are you all this time?!!"

"Ehh? I was just waiting for you. As you can see, I'm sitting in the guest chair. If I were Melium, wouldn't I sit on that chair instead? Also, I was just doing my stuff backstage."

"WHAT STUFF?!!" Ryuma's face was close to Ten they could almost kiss. Ten dodged the question as he pushed Ryuma aside.

"Anyway, now that you're here. I'll introduce you to her, the vice principal of this school." Ten showed the cage on top of the table. Inside it, lies the owl which has been bound and struggling as something was stuck on her beak, preventing her from speaking.

"This is, the owl?"

"Let me introduce you, Petty Meridith. Second in command from The Sage's faction. And also Melium's most trusted person." Ten then takes off the tape covering the tape that prevents Petty from speaking. As she got the ability to speak, she started babbling nonsense.

"YOU'LL SEE YOU LITTLE SHIT?!! WHEN I GET OUT FROM THIS DAMN CAGE, I'LL CUT YOU TO PIECES AND FEED YOU TO GOBLIN!!!" The second passed as Petty was babbling. But the moment Ten stabbed the knife on the table right beside the cage, Petty went completely silent.

"One more word and I'll boil you into the soup."

"Yes... sir."
