Chapter 223 Questions And Answers....

Geralt stood up, looked at me with a complex expression before observing Lucas, Annabeth and Adara, and specifically observing Lucas with a serious expression.

Pleus was about to shout something but Paul interjected and said,"we can't win. Geralt doesn't want to fight as well. If he really has the information regarding what happened to brother's girlfriend, consider that we have already lost this round."

Paul was observing me with slight fury in his eyes and, hearing his words, everyone turned to me.

'O! I thought Paul was a hard-headed kid with no brains, but looks like he got some, enough to read the situation,' I thought as I looked at them while all of them were observing me.

"Let's go," Geralt spoke as he told everyone in his group to move out. Since it was just about a couple of hours, he decided to wait for it.

I observed them sceptically as they observed each other before slowly moving out of there. It didn't seem like they were happy with the outcome, but since Geralt was their leader, they had to follow his words.

"Next time, pray that you won't meet us. I wonder how long you can hide behind others," spoke Pleus, the same thing which Paul spoke to me last time.

Now that I have been warned by them twice, I actually wanted to see what they were going to do.

'Wish I could play with them, but this lack of time is really irritating,' I thought as I saw them vanishing from there as the door closed.

Even though everyone was gone, I sensed Geralt, Paul and Pleus still standing outside the building, waiting for the time to pass. Perhaps they didn't want any of us to disappear on them or perhaps they thought to pass the time here by themselves rather than going somewhere else, but I guess they will be staying here for the time being.

"Now that all of you are here, let's get to the main point directly. I want you guys to control class 1E. Annabeth, for the time being, I need you to watch over them, before passing the leadership to Gloria later. As for the reason why…"

I began explaining about the Parasites and their powers and how the world Apocalypse is soon approaching. It would have been hard to make them believe, but I had asked Mark to send me a video of what happened in Iredale castle beforehand.

They kind of wanted to say that it was fake but when they saw Mark Leeway and I explained about how I was there at that time 'coincidentally' as I was called to help Bernette. I made a couple of videos when I was dining with the Leeways and showed it to them, which made them look at me with a blank expression.

I then explained the 'Reaper's Plan', which I totally agree with and was helping him out in ways I can. That is to increase the overall power level of the students in this academy.

After I finished explaining things to them, they just blankly stared at me without speaking a word. There was a pin drop silence within the area as everyone just stood there trying to process everything that they had just learnt.

"Fuck!" was the word that Howard spoke to tell everyone that he was overwhelmed.

"Shit!" was the word that Jenkins used to express his dearest feeling.

Well, everyone of them was feeling the same, Cook, Variel, Rheo and the two, all of them felt the same.

"But… aren't we just a bunch of kids? Just how much can we hope to help?" Asked Cook as she looked at me with self doubt in her eyes.

"Yeah, shouldn't the adults be the one to handle this situation?" Howard was the same.

"I… this is too big for us," and so was Jenkins.

I moved towards them one step at a time and spoke,

"Once the war starts, it might continue for more than a decade, and that's when we need to get everything under control, during those years. By that time, you too will become adults and while I am not insisting for you to fight, at least learn with me for the sake of protecting yourself and your families.

What I really want from you is to create a path for the next generation to become stronger. While Reaper is collecting strong people, I have taken the task to help people get strong enough to teach the next generation to become much stronger… if you have any questions, then you may ask anytime."

As they heard me, their eyes become more relaxed than before and then they observed me with a slightly odd expression and Jenkins spoke,

"But why us… There are tens of people in this Academy who are much, much better than us. Why not take their help but us?"

"They too are included, but most of them will be tasked with fighting as well as assigned to our defence force, with the strongest one fighting at the forefront with Reaper and the others. Any other questions?" I answered as I looked at him and it was Cook who asked a question next.

"About the Elementals. How are you going to find time for that if you are going to be so busy with all this?"

"About that, it's not just to you, but to everyone that I have promised something. I will help you all along the way. I have something to do in the Hellfire Dimension. Got someone to kill there and someone to save there, so not too late from now, I will be going there. While I will be there, I will save your Elementals," I answered as I pondered about it a little, while Cook asked again,

"Are you sure you will be safe there all by yourself?"

"All by myself? What are you talking about? I will be going with Reaper and a few others. I will also be taking your help in at least opening the Gates to Hell. I am not an idiot to dive into hell without any back-up plan," I said as I shook my head before looking at Rheo again.
