Chapter 398 398-Rewards Gained By Everyone Else

Clara spread around the map that I gave her, she being the one that I chose to accompany me here, it's no secret that she's my maid here and probably the one I trust the most here. After all, she knows my 'secret'.

"What's this?"

Ron asked as he looked at the map spread around, it seems to have a detailed description with certain places marked around, there are also certain names marked around as targets, overall it looked like the master plan of an evil villain.

"I managed to s.n.a.t.c.h this from one of those people causing the problem here and as you can see who or whatever this is they ain't some 2nd rate group, they have plans and power, they even seemed to have infiltrated people even within our factions"

As I said my last words I could see the mood become sour around everyone here, they all seemed to have gone through one or more betrayals here itself. The worst was Marlene whose expression showed deep bloodl.u.s.t, probably still after her brother.

"They are aiming for all of us in power and they made their move when we are without any external protection"

Isabella spoke, her dull red eyes seemingly becoming furious as she continued to speak.

"To have such high risk, the academy itself seems to have been infiltrated, looks like someone has been asleep at the wheel or...."

She said pausing as she looked at me and Nora, her words causing the others to focus on me, the ones close to me didn't doubt me, but the others seemed to have formed a sort of barrier against me, seeing this a small smile lit my face.

'Manipulative as always'

"What are you implying miss Isabella?"

I asked, maintaining a natural smile, to which she had no problem responding with mild accusations that were not so mild.

"Nothing, I am just showing that the Academy the place that should be most secure isn't anymore, perhaps there is inner help at play"

Her words didn't incite much nor did point at anyone but the wordings at this moment were more than enough for the ones with little faith in me to s.h.i.+ft their stands, standing beside me I could hear Nora clutching her teeth in anger, especially when Mira, someone whom she admires and loves like family is tried to make a fool of.

"Yo-"

"Your right, the person responsible does need to pay"

I said cutting off Nora who was about to burst with anger, I narrowed my eyes at Isabella as I continued to speak.

"But he or she for the matter she will pay after the correct proof and everything related to it is submitted or collected, if not I shall swear on the name of the G.o.ddess Sylvia that whoever is responsible I shall personally see that they are punished with all my strength"

Just as I finished my words, astonishment filled the surroundings with this the entire situation that was forming around me vanished, a single move from me made the cornered problem by Isabella moot.

'Two can play at this game'

My narrowed eyes met Isabella who was now paying more attention to me, a small pressure started to build between us, it was then.

Clap!

"Why don't we focus on the current situation?"

Raze said clapping his hand, his feline eyes narrowing as he put a good-natured smile on his face, behind him, his so-called fiancee nodded her head.

"Rather than talking about future issues, we should first focus on what we can do with all this information"

Nell said as she pointed her hand at the big red circle, the very one being the place that we were in, the stronghold, and everyone here is smart enough to understand the that fact a hit might be approaching this place soon.

"We need to start preparing"

Nell said, her lion ears standing up straight, while her feline eyes started to s.h.i.+ne ferociously.

"An attack might come today, the next moment, or tomorrow, we need to be prepared"

Ella said, her eyes s.h.i.+ning in calculative eyes, as her mind went through several situations using her bloodline, one granting her the foresight as a great general and strategist.

"With our current situation, I only see about 5% for us to even succeed as an army, the lack of trust between us is too high"

Ella said again and the rest of the people nodded their heads.

"It isn't that we can't trust, that issue can be solved by a contract but what about the ones below us, can we trust them? haven't we all swallowed the bitter pill of betrayal here already?"

Angelina said with a small bitter smile across her lips, one that everyone could agree on, it's the main problem here, they could perhaps use a contract but could they do the same for the rest?

"Perhaps we can have the conversation tomorrow, while coming here I graced upon Sabrina's faction moving here, then with all of us we could create a perfect plan"

I said catching everyone's attraction, hearing this everybody nodded their head, accepting the situation, hence once more everybody broke up, still having made no significant growth.

"I have to settle some things with my faction we can all deal with things later"

I spoke, my words indicating to all the girls that wish to talk with me, ranging from Olivia, Nora, Catherine, and Marlene to Carmel, each of them understood the situation as they gave me s.p.a.ce to deal with my things, giving me a light goodbye the rest split up while I walked to the crashed building my faction was looking after.

Giving a light nod to everybody while comforting them everything is alright, I entered inside the main room, and within it was Emma, Sana, Rina, Mika, Rika, Jacob, Zora, Alex, and Leonardo but Amon and Mark were nowhere to be seen.

"Looks like everyone is well?"

I asked as I entered inside the room, a giant table at the center like before as I took the head seat while the rest did the same, and my eyes swiped everyone here, it contains the deeper meaning everyone other than Leonardo knows, and they all gave me a nod of confirmation back, making me smile, everyone had grown stronger while achieving one or more unique ability that will differentiate them from everyone else.

"It was fun, I became stronger"

Rana said with a bloodthirsty smile, flexing her muscle.

"I met a lot of cute animals to join my family! powerful ones!"

Emma said, who would think that she is an 18-year-old adult with that body and att.i.tude?

"I learned a lot about my dagger"

Sana said her hands lightly tapping at the gold lines daggers laying at her waist, they having a new s.h.i.+ne to them.

"I have developed my abilities and gained some more"

Zora said with twinkling eyes, her hand holding a certain potion as she threw it to me, I didn't ask anything as I stored it.

"I have gained a burning fire, my fists of fire will be very hurtful"

Mika said, her black hair swinging around with her ears, while a small fire lit in her hands, looking hot.

"My water will take down the highest barriers, nothing can stop its flow now"

Rika said, her white hair flowing like her sister's, while her smile was more gentle than the wild one Mika has.

'It seems Rina is influencing Mika'

I noted.

"My form is complete"

Jacob said with a small tone but the smile on his face showed his satisfaction.

"I gained the ability to talk down everything and to see through many things"

Alex said with a s.h.i.+t-eating grin, as he took his tongue out, it had some unknown patterns on it along with his eyes that now had some tattoos all around.

"That's good"

I nodded my head with a genuine smile, I was happy that they went through everything well, I showed them the way and they completed it, even Clara who was behind me as she gained a new darkness, something she had already shown off to me, the little half-demon minx is awaiting her reward.

"What about you? you seemed to have made new friends?"

I asked, turning towards Leonardo who looked unnaturally silent.

"I am fine, nothing special"

He said waving his hand, though the look on his face said something else.
