"Hhmm, will I receive a medal?" I asked not wanting him to go to the point that he will make me eat the food he prepared for me.
"You will, but first let's eat a meal, I prepared it especially for you." Oh no, he really did go to that point.
The hypnotic substance does not have an effect on me, but that will not help me buy some time.
"Oh really!? Great!" I stood up and looked around, "Your office is looking good Sir, did you design the interior?"
This was the office of Mrs. Suego, the former principal but there is a big change in the design. I couldn't even see a glimpse of the design from before, the vintage turned dark and dull however the closet remains.
"Yup, I did. I'm glad you appreciate it." He claps and there goes inside the old lady holding a tray of food and puts it on the table.
"Of course! Who couldn't? I love dark colors." I smile with fake glistening eyes.
"Oh, we're the same, I do love dark colors as well, including my son." He said as his voice turned low, then he gestured to the old lady to get out and she immediately obeyed him.
"Son? I would love to meet him, we will surely get along." I cheerly stated, knowing his son already died.
"He fled far away. By the way, here's your food. I'm sure you will like it." Then again he smirks.
Vincent, where are you? I think I couldn't make it any longer.
"Fled... where to?" I asked but it seems that I made a wrong move as his aura turned dark.
"Somewhere, and if you will just eat the food I prepared for you then we have already talked about why I called you here." He stated in a dark voice.
"Y-yes sir." I answered looking at the rice with fish fillet and meatballs, oh my goodness! Fish fillet, my favorite!
My eyes glistened but then I looked back at Mr. Bernard "Do you have water?" I asked, smiling weakly.
He glared at me but then he clapped his hands and revealed the old lady "Get the pretty lady here a glass of water." He ordered.
The old lady nodded before she walked out and after a while she came back with a glass of water.
"Thank you so much!" I faked a wide smile.
Then suddenly I heard a low shuffling at the closet on the side, letting me know he is here.
Behind that closet is a door towards the tunnel.
But it seems like I am not the only one who heard it as Mr. Bernard glanced at the closet, he slowly walked towards it.
"Sir!" I called for his attention, he turned to look at me "Thank you so much for the food." I smiled sweetly.
"You're welcome. Go eat." He ordered and I nodded.
I took a spoon of rice with a fish fillet, how did Mr. Bernard know my favorite dish? Oh well, I eat the food forgetting that I am in the middle of a mission.
Suddenly, I heard a loud thump on the wall. Looking at it, Vincent is already pinning Mr. Bernard on the wall through the neck. I looked at the closet to see it already fully opened.
"Give me the antidote." Vincent darkly stated to the shocked Mr. Bernard.
"K-Kelly... help... me." But Mr. Bernard ignored him as he looked at me, pleading for his life.
"Thank you for the food, fish fillet is my favorite dish." I said, smirking.
His forehead creased in confusion. "W... why?" He asked more to himself.
"This is your last chance, I won't ask again. Now tell me, where is the antidote?" Vincent coldly asked once again.
"A... alright! L-let me g-go, I'll g-give it to you." Mr. Bernard said struggling on his situation as Vincent choked him enough that he could still talk.
"No, tell us where you put it." I said, having a bad feeling if we let him go.
"Un...der my d-desk but y-you can't o...open it." He said as his voice held despair and rage.
I walked towards his desk and looked under it. There is a drawer... I tried to pull the drawer but it won't open... I looked closely, fuck!
I turned to face Vincent to see him watching me, while holding Mr. Bernard firmly, "It needs a fingerprint."
I tried to use my vision to see what is inside but shit, it was protected... by whom? My power is not of use. I shook my head to Vincent knowingly.
His jaw clenched as he gritted his teeth in anger, "Fine, if you dare to make a move, I will kill you." He threatened, letting go of Mr. Bernard.
I put a distance as Mr. Bernard went towards his desk. We eyed him carefully so he would not make unnecessary moves.
But when he opened the drawer of his desk, it did not reveal an antidote but a button.
Mr. Bernard smirked, pressing it.
"Oh shit!" I cursed.
"Fuck!" Vincent uses his speed and pins Mr. Bernard against the wall as the whole school is filled with the sound of a siren.
The siren sounds all around the school which is absolutely heard by everyone that is inside of this school.
My heart beat fast, I don't know why, but I could feel something bad which scares me for what is about to happen today. I hope all of our friends will come, alive.
While Vincent is pinning Mr. Bernard on the wall, he pressed the earbuds on his right ear, "James, now." He ordered on the other line.
Just then, the door opened revealing a group of armed men in black, led by... a guy with a fireball in hand.

James POV
After long years of waiting, now we are in a battle we have been expecting to come... and now, I have met the girl of my life.
I looked at Viona as she held both of her hands uncomfortably, her face held with worry. I sighed, looking at her like this... is so hard to bear... all I want is to see her smiles.
