Chapter 365 - The Musician (4)

"I can't move my arm anymore," I turned to Luke.

"Let's go to the teacher's office right now," Luke opened the door in the study room.

I noticed that Luke could only use one arm as well. He stopped practicing the sword with Alex and worked on the remaining doc.u.ments in our room instead. Meanwhile, I was too tired to talk inside the café or meet with other people. I helped him with the easier work he could pass to me as it took up less energy. We could walk inside the room now as almost all the doc.u.ments were finished with our sleepless nights.

"May I have some of your time?" Luke walked up to the first teacher closest to us.

"Your arm?" The teacher sighed.

"Both Rika and I can't move one of our arms anymore," he didn't hide his annoyance why the teachers couldn't find the culprit yet.

"We apologize, we are still investigating the dorms," the teacher looked down.

The teacher pointed us to his colleague once he was close to exhausting all his mana. We ended up getting heal from six middle school teachers before we could move our arms again. By the time we left the office, the teachers appeared no better than us, close to dying from using close to all their mana.

"Is the school even a safe place anymore?" I blurted my thoughts out loud.

"They're doing all that they can do," Luke couldn't disagree with me.

"Can we sleep outside?" I got a great idea.

These incidents were happening in the dorm rooms. But if we slept outside, there was a chance that the poking would stop during the night. Similar to social week, all we needed was some blankets and pillows. Maybe we could even bring a tent with us. For the first time, it seemed that Luke was actually considering going along with my idea.

"We can ask the school for some supplies to sleep outside," he decided to turn back to the office.

When we walked back into the teacher's office, all of the teachers avoided our line of sight. Not wanting to push themselves more than they already did for today. Luke ignored them as he went up to the same teacher since he didn't want to waste more energy.

"Your arms?" The teacher gulped.

"We want some tents and supplies to sleep outside for tonight," Luke wanted them to immediately hand the supplies over.

"Here," the teacher didn't hesitate to hand over everything he had.

I smiled as I walked over to other teachers to demand the same thing. It was better if we received more supplies for the future. We wouldn't have to spend points on them when we entered high school. Without wasting a single second, every teacher I visited handed over everything they possessed in their inventories.

"Should we go now?" Luke asked if I was finished.

I nodded my head as the teachers looked at us in a new light. I wondered if it was just me when I heard the lock on the office clicking, refusing more visitors. It was time to find a place to set up the tents we received.

"The courtyard should be a good place," I suggested from my experience.

Once we walked to an open space in the courtyard, we began to take all the supplies out of our inventory. Cillian, who was passing by, walked up to us, wondering what was going on. Our supplies soared into the sky as we wondered where to start. Sienna, who was with Cillian at that time, decided to join us.

"We're sleeping outside today," Luke explained.

"I'm sorry our room couldn't be any help," Cillian pitied us.

Familiar with tents, I took one out from the pile. Sienna also helped as she was familiar with joining me on these kinds of things. I proudly looked at the large tents that were almost the size of our normal room. Instead of sleeping on the ground, luxurious beds were placed beside each other. Sienna came up with the idea we should set up multiple tents with the same furniture inside to try to confuse the culprit.

This was how a whole city of big tents were placed around wherever there was space in the courtyard. People stopped to stare at the scene, wondering what was going on. I wiped some sweat coming from my forehead as I started to feel hungry from moving around too much. I always wanted to try the idea of luxurious camping before as well.

"This should work!" Sienna encouraged us.

"You could join us," I offered them.

"Maybe next time," Cillian turned his head, afraid the poking would come to them.

"Let's get some dinner now," I played with Sienna's arms.

The tents had to work with all the precautions we placed. I smiled as I walked into the tent I would be staying with Luke after spending time at the study room. I would never take sleep for granted again. I was already excitedly in my pyjamas, stretching my arms before slipping in the blankets. I closed my eyes, hoping for a decent night's sleep while Luke did the same beside me.

However, the loud sounds of violins playing an upbeat country song made me open my eyes again. The poking matched the rhythm, making this night worse than the others. I punched my pillow with the stress busting my limits. Luke also appeared extremely irritated as he instantly formed a sound blocking barrier over ourselves. But I covered my ears with my other pillow as the strong barrier turned out to be useless in blocking the sounds.
