Chapter 25: CHAPTER 25

The Head teacher opened the door and we stepped into a large room with high ceiling. The room was very luxurious and had precious pieces of history displayed and in the middle of the room was a table which was made in gold, crafted personally by the greatest crafter there is from our kingdom and behind it was the Headmaster who looked serene.

He motioned the four of us to sit on the couch. Hade finally broke loose from the metal barrier that I made to enclose him and sat on the couch like he did not respect the Headmaster.

"I have called the four of you due to the situation you made in this school grounds which as you may now, is very against the rules. And also, to tell you the current situation of Prince Alex of the Sea.". The Headmaster stood and walked to a bookshelf as if he was scanning for a new book to read.

"Prince Hade, you shall get proper punishment for attacking an aid that was not yours to punish and Nate, aid of Prince Alex. You shall get punishment from King Archemidius, and that punishment will be equal to your incompetence to your master. As for Prince Kaval, I have included you in this calling for you to know what is the status of Prince Alex. Philip, you may leave the room since this information that I am going to share is private matters."

I looked over to Philip who held a disappointed look but complied nonetheless. As he opened the door, Apollo arrived and was breathing heavily. He sat down beside me and looked at me as if asking what happened.

"You'll know soon." I looked back to the Headmaster who looked bothered and that peaked my attention as he does not get bothered unless it's crucial matters.

"Now that all three of you are here, we can start. As for Diane, she was the one to analyze the state of Prince Alex and both of them are still currently in the clinic for the royals." I looked over to Nate who was looking at the Headmaster intently.

The atmosphere changed and all of us knew that this was going to be bad news.

"Prince Alex is in grave danger. His father, King Archemidius has told me about the state of his heir. You may now also know that he has not yet gotten his power but the previous days, I have felt something off lurking in the academia's ground and as it turns out. It was Prince Alex."

"But why is it him?" Apollo asked sharing the same confusion as us.

"The boy is having trouble. But first, may I ask Nate as to why where you not able to go to your master immediately?"

"I was frozen your excellency. I did everything I could when I felt that Prince Alex was in danger, but someone has placed me in a binding spell which restricted any form of movement that I could. By the time I was released, Prince Hade was already looking for me."

All of us looked at him in confusion. Someone restricted him? As I recall only those of the powerful can cast such spells to an individual as performing it takes a lot of energy that if it is not done right, it might lead to one's demise.

The Headmaster nodded and went quite or a few moments and within those span, we were already anxious to know the current state of Alex.

"Diane said that what happened to Alex was because of the sudden surge of magic in his body stream to which she calculated was about 76 percent of his total power. As of the moment they are trying to control the bleeding. Diane also stated that by tomorrow or the next day, his power would be fully released into his body stream and only then would his body start to stabilize."

Nate looked relieved somehow despite having to face a punishment which could possibly mean death at his case.

"But you mentioned something about a presence lurking in the academia." Hade said.

"That I do not know off but last night, lightning struck in the middle of a clear night and I felt the presence clearly. It is not off good. I will tell you more about this when we have enough evidence to base on but for now, you must stay vigilante. Commander Elevi will also arrive later today as per order by King Archemidius to guard his heir. I suggest you stay away from Prince Alex for now as Commander Elevi can be fearless enough to strike his sword into anyone's chest. Royalty or commoner. The kingdom is in chaos after hearing the news and they are not just sending Commander Elevi but a whole lot of guards to provide support and protection of the Academia. Now that one of you is in danger, I hope that the lot of you would stay vigilante. There is no clear evidence of evil force in the Academia, but the chances of one existing is at high probability. You may leave now. I will call you later on."

We left the room and was silent all throughout the walk towards the lobby for the royals. Nate on the other hand, the moment we stepped out of the room was escorted by two guards. I felt a chilling aura to where I do not know off. I am confused.
