64 Chapter 64:The Team 3

Everyone present in the room wore apologetic expressions on their faces while starting at Derik who refused to return their gazes.

"Come on man! I was only joking" Gin fought hard to withhold the laughter which threatened to bust out at any moment

Seeing this Derik only got more annoyed and just remained silent while cursing this guy in his mind. He occasionally glanced at the apologetic and expectant faces in the room and knew these people were waiting for him to continue his explanation. With a sigh, Derik decided to continue

"Before I continue, you all have to swear to me that you will keep this matter a secret… You will not speak of it to anyone and you will take this matter to your graves…. Come on now, swear it… all of you" Derik said

This statement came as a shock to everyone in the room, yes they suspected that Derik may have something he needed to hide that's why he was reluctant to speak earlier, but they didn't expect it to he something this serious.

With wrinkled eyebrows, Cyrus asked

"Is it really that serious?... How important is this secret of yours" He asked

Hearing this, others shifted their attention from Cyrus to Derik, who in turn pondered on the life mages words for a while, looking for the 'perfect response' to give

"Let us just say it has to do with the number one noble family in Briton… Should this get out, not only will I and my family be put in danger but you all may be eliminated as well just to conceal this secret… The only reason I decided to bring this up is simply because of this meeting… since the team wants to get together and create greater bonds… secrets such as this will definitely get in the way…

I believe it's important for everyone's full capabilities to be known by every member of the team… this will definitely aid us in any path we choose to work and also improve our teamwork" Derik took his time to explain this.

Truly, if they are willing to move this team forward they must swear to keep this matter a secret. He remained silent and watched the others ponder on his words.

After a brief moment of silence, the worried expressions on their faces soon vanished replaced with determination. The determination to move forward at costs even if it meant swearing an oath to Derik. Seeing this, Derik smiled, happy with their personal decisions.

In a bid to make sure that there are no defaulters, Kira revealed a 'unique' spell which is meant to seal oaths with blood, whereby a defaulter cannot unintentionally break the oath and if by chance the defaulter forcefully attempts to break the oath, only death will welcome them. Hearing this, everyone was once again bewildered by this Kids magic which seemed to be the most diabolical in the group. Yes! Derik's death magic is frightening and all that but there is something about Kira's blood magic which made people feel insecure.

Since no one actually had the intention to break the oath, it didn't take long for them to decide on what to do. The oath was quite simple, As long as they remained a team no member will hide any information which may directly or indirectly affect the team in any way and the second was to keep anything and everything to themselves even in death.

The process by which this blood magic spell: oath binder is implemented was something everyone including Kira agreed was kinda creepy. To begin the ritual, everyone slit their wrist and watched their blood slowly pour into a wooden bowel while reciting the oath. After which Kira chanted something in a mysterious language and then, the blood of everyone in the team was mixed together properly, after which it is not applied on wrist cut wounds which miraculously healed.

Of course, Derik was the last to get cut and the first to have the blood applied to the wrist cut injury which was almost completely healed. This stunned everyone but the chose not to speak and interrupt the process since he was eventually going to explain how it works to them later on.

"Now then…." Derik said with a relieved expression on his face, he briefly glanced at everyone in the room only to see bewildered expressions. With a chuckle, he decided to continue

"Since you all know of vampires, You should know of werewolves as well then… am I correct?" Derik asked.

In response, the others just nodded

"The Lockwood family is an ancient family of wolves… and just like all werewolves or at least most, they protect the inhabitants of their territory from other supernatural entities… The party at the Lockwood family castle was only a means to lure the Salvors out of the shadows and kill them…" Derik shrugged off the thoughts that flooded his little head while he spoke.

After hearing this, everyone in the room began thinking about what they just heard. To think the number one noble family of Briton possessed supernatural powers, this explains a lot.

"How did you get involved with them? A human working with werewolves… isn't that a bit risky?" Karl asked

In response, Derik laughed and did something which scared everyone in the room to the core. His dimmed purple eyes roared back to life and his fingernails were replaced with claws, all the hair on his head stood up and he let out a deafening roar which made everyone stand up in shock and retreat by a few steps.

"I was gifted with this ability by the Lockwoods… how do you think an archer is able to reveal so much strength, speed, and durability… Come on when was the last time you saw an archer as strong as myself… and yes, I chased after the vampires because I possess this power as well" Derik laughed as he spoke with a deep voice.

Realization finally dawned on these guys, an archer taking down a level five ogre by pummeling it into the ground with its own stone club which no normal person can carry. Getting up just a few minutes after he is knocked down during the interclass competition. Surviving a point-blank attack from a magic weapon, standing up the next moment and shrugging it off. They finally came to a conclusion

"You've had an unfair advantage all along"

Seeing the frustration on their faces, Derik concluded it was his turn to laugh at them. Laughing out loud for over ten seconds before calming down.

The team took turns at revealing their strengths and weaknesses, spending the whole night chatting on matters which may affect the team. Not only did this clear out the misunderstanding, the hostility which the harbored for each other soon vanished as well
