[Eon's POV: ]
"You're back early, hun?"
The headmaster's office.
Standing before him without any disguises or hoods, we faced him with a not so great expression.
"Can we get straight to the point, headmaster?"
He was looking at us with an interesting look as if whatever he was seeing in us was interesting to him.
We had come back after only a day in that place while we were originally going to spend more than two days in that city, so this certainly was an interesting development for him.
"Yes. We shall do that if you want."
There was no need to waste any more time on this matter since the four of us couldn't deal with it ourselves anyway.
"Thanks."
He found the serious expressions we had to be interesting and the way he was looking at us made me certain he had no idea what kind of results we had achieved.
'He was smiling.'
It meant he knew about the situation at the blessed city and the things that might be going on in the Kaksha, however, he did not know anything about the things that we might have found out.
"Please, take a look at this."
But as soon as I took out the projection headgear from my storage space, his smiling expression changed completely.
"Why that...?"
We had gone there to investigate whether the Saint of Meyat was connected with the demonic cutists, so there was no need to take something that I usually only used for bigger presentations.
There shouldn't be any need for something like this for a task that only needed us to investigate one single individual, but that was what made this more important.
"Please take a look at this headmaster."
-Oooooooooooooong!
First, I created a model of the city of Shrudha, then, after turning the important structures of the city like the Kaksha, the castle of the lord of the city, and the various places owned by the Temple, I created moving dots that represented people all around this city.
"Everything went as we planned when it was necessary. And we were able to confirm that the saint of Meyat, at least, doesn't have any connection with the demonic cultists."
First of all, I focused on the Kaksha and gathered the attention of the headmaster and his familiar owl.
"However in the process of investigating the individuals, we came across something that must have been the trigger for someone starting those rumours."
Just like I did when showing this to the rest of them, I turned the colors of the people working in the Kaksha according to their roles in the institution, and created the Aura that signified the corruption they had gone through because of the Fragmantin curse.
There were various things that might have been the trigger for the curse that we aren't certain about since we still only know the properties and effects of this curse, not the way it could be cast.
That's why even we didn't know how it was put on so many individuals, but, if we think that all of the curse was a single entity that resonated with the other parts of it and could grow based on the number of individuals it was affecting, the situation that this city was in was even worse than I had imagined.
"We found out about a curse, something that had also been the reason for the death of SanSan's mother in the world where the President Zodiac comes from.
He was messenger of the goddess of light Boök. Someone that possessed the brightest light of this era.
He was a kind individual comparable to the pope of Meyat, however...
He was affected by the curse and the curse that he had on him had progressed so much that it wouldn't be long before the curse completely consumed him and nothing else was left of him.
"Headmasters..."
Slowly and steadily, we told him everything that we had found in this last few hours we had been away from here and with all the information laid bare before him, there was little that he could deny.
The involvement of divinities, the spread of a strange curse that shouldn't even have existed in this world in a specific institution of the Temple that followed these gods, and the fact that many of the individuals that had highly progressed curses on them were closely connected with the Temple was no coincidence.
"What do we do now?"
There was demonic evil on one side. A cult that possessed demon contractors that were sane and not in control of the demons that they had signed contracts with.
And now there were divinities that were involved in a ploy that might not only hurt the entire humanity, this whole thing they had prepared might also give the demons an excuse for what they had planned themselves.
"Haaa..."
The headmaster was stunned by the new revelations.
He had not expected this level of threat from this simple mission, and he certainly wasn't looking forward to facing a problem that involved the Temple and the divinities they served.
His expression looked grave all of a sudden, but that was within the range of our expectations.
Though, what we did not expect was how he suddenly washed off the expression he had from his face and looked back at us with a straight face. Find adventures at m v lem|p-yr
"You four, do nothing." He ordered. And yes, it was an order.
"This is not something you have to be concerned about anymore."
He walked towards us, placed his hand on my, and Cradle's shoulder, and looked straight in all our eyes.
"Leave this to us... I'll tell you if we need your help regarding this. However until then..." he walked past us, and opened the door of his office before moving all four of us out of the room with his magic.
"Don't do anything foolish, and go enjoy your weekend."
-Clang.
And then he shut the door before our faces, leaving all four of us a little confused, and also a little worried about the future.
"This is going to be..."
"Difficult?"
"Yes. Though, not for us."
He Told us to stay away from this, and truthfully, I'm going to do just that.
And I know for sure that Cradle will make sure that the President does the same, so, even I have nothing to worry about anymore...
'We're off this case now.'
Which also means we can finally enjoy this weekend.
