Larry crouched down and looked at Kyle’s body with a frown, hidden behind the mask present on his face. His head snapped back, eyes glaring at one of the four black-haired men.
“If I recalled correctly didn’t I fucking ask you to give him a potion?”
His loud voice resounded in the prison cell. The black-haired man trembled slightly before he anxiously stepped forward.
“I swear I did give him a potion. It’s just it was a low-grade one.”
Larry clicked his tongue. Potion were expensive even though he had some high-grade ones but why would he waste them on someone he kidnapped?
“Leave it. I will speak with the old man about this. I don’t think this guy is important except for the fact that he is the one who bonded with that fire beast.”
He gazed at Kyle again. This time more seriously, his mana seeped out from his body as he stared at Kyle with a forwn because no matter how much he probed he couldn’t sense even a speck of mana within Kyle’s body.
‘Strange? Even if he is dead why is his body like an empty shell devoid of any energy or force? I can’t sense anything.’
Larry moved his hand and placed two of his fingers beneath Kyle’s nose to sense any breathing.
Alec’s gaze was fixed on Larry’s back as he held his breath while grabbing the metal bars tightly. He was continuously praying inwardly for Kyle not to get caught.
The other students were not better either, with anxiousness written on their faces. They knew if Kyle got caught nothing good would happen.
Under their intense stares, Larry checked Kyle’s breathing.
“He isn’t breathing.”
He whispered before grabbing Kyle’s wrist to check more but the moment he grabbed Kyle’s wrist he let go of it instantly.
“Damn, why is his body so cold?”
At first, when he kicked Kyle’s stomach the coldness was not that severe as he didn’t touch him directly but now after touching Kyle’s skin directly, Larry didn’t dare to touch him again.
‘This coldness isn’t simple. Just with a single touch, it’s burned the mana around my palm. What the hell is wrong with this kid?’
Larry stood up and gazed at the others.
“I need to report this. So you all stay here and keep an eye on his body until I return.”
The four black-haired men nodded and watched as Larry’s back faded away in the distance.
Alec wiped the sweat from his forehead when he saw everything going smoothly.
‘Alright. Hope it’s work.’
He gazed at Carcel and they all waited for Larry to come back.
On the other hand, Kyle was quietly lying at the same place but if someone looked closely he was breathing albeit very faintly. His face was serene devoid of any emotions but inwardly his thoughts were a mess.
He was one hundred percent sure he would have started sweating when Larry suddenly released his aura to probe his body but thanks to the coldness clinging to his skin he avoided dying.
‘He is stronger than I expected.’
After Larry released his aura Kyle sensed his rank. Larry wasn’t weak at all. His aura was restrained but he was at least (A-)-Rank.
‘He is strong but I have to risk it. The more time I wasted the more dangerous it would be for Bia. I need to leave this place soon.’
Kyle waited for a long time when he heard the rhythm of footsteps echoing outside the prison cell.
He regulated his hushed breathing and it became quiet once again.
Larry stopped outside the prison cell, he glanced at Kyle’s body
“Just like I thought he was not that much important. Pick up his body and throw it inside the second chamber.”
The black-haired men trembled when they heard about the second chamber. It was a dangerous place where one of the sick head elders working for their big boss experimented on dead bodies.
“Hurry up.”
Larry waved his hand and one of the back-haired men entered Kyle’s cell.
He opened the black chains present on Kyle’s wrists with a strange-looking square-shaped device before dragging his body like a rag.
“His body is too cold.”
The man hissed because he felt like he was touching ice but the ice was ten times more colder than any normal ice.
Larry left the place with the four black-haired individuals following behind him. The one at the last was dragging Kyle’s body.
All the students watched as Kyle was dragged outside. In normal circumstances, they would have created a fuss about how their friend was killed by those heartless men but because of the serious matter, they forget to act.

“Why do I feel like he won’t come back to save us?”
Alec pinched his nose bridge. He knew why Kyle was so desperate to leave this place. It was because of Bia.
“He will if he survived out there.”

Meanwhile, at the Academy. George paced around in the square field with a frustrated expression. He looked at the blue-haired old man who was tracking the broken Array coordinates.
It’s already been five hours but there was no progress.
Nine was standing a few meters away from him. The person working on the Array was one of the men who was following behind him after he left his kingdom. He gazed at the other two individuals standing beside him with a sigh.
The first one was Goen, one of the grey-haired twins while the other one was Lara. She had woken up two hours ago and was just as shaken as Nine. Her cold gaze was locked on the blue-haired man who was fumbling with the Array here and there.
“How much more time do you need?”
She said while looking at the blue-haired man with knitted brows. She wanted to ask her father for help as he was strong but the Vice Principal stopped her.
‘We have already wasted so much time!’
The blue-haired old man glanced at Lara with an emotionless face but then he ignored the kids and looked at George.
“I have found the coordinates.”
George disappeared from where he was standing and appeared in front of him with a flash.
“Location?”
“It’s quite far from here. Almost near the east border. The one connected with the dark forest.”
George nodded and started floating, in an instant he disappeared from the Academy. Elder Elaze gazed at his figure and followed behind him with a grim expression.
Nine and Lara looked at each other with frustration. They wanted to follow behind them but how can they match their speed? The only thing they could do was to wait.
Sensing Geroge and Elaze’s departure another Elder came out from one of the Acadmey buildings and quietly floated above the Acadmey looking at their fading backs. Unlike the other Elders, he looked much more distant from the mortal world. His long black hair swirled behind his back as he gazed around with his sharp emotionless eyes.
“Sigh, I wonder who dared to attack us even after knowing the consequences of their actions.”
