I too had many questions I wanted to find answers for as well, like who exactly was behind using Evil Eye to brainwash those janitors, what he did think they might be able to do, even with those rings made of Antinite, I fail to see that they were seriously thinking that this would be enough to take me down .
But once again, it seem that they didn't want me dead, they seem to want to take me as a hostage, what's better way to immobilize a Magician than to render him unable to use his most trusted ally, his magic .
I found their idea to be quite funny and utterly ridiculous, shouldn't they have inspected my capabilities before pulling such a stunt, but once again, I hadn't shown much strength other than a few tricks with magic, so they could have attacked me like this with the thought of me being a normal magician perhaps .
But to think that someone was able to put his hand on so many rings made of Antinite and last time I checked were stored in a strict, secure military bases, was something that made my mind couldn't stop thinking about who the organization behind this sudden ambush might be .
Attacking Magicians with Anti-magic, a few organization did appear on my mind, but one in particular made my suspicions rise more than the others, Blanche .
Letting the janitors all return to their jobs and I too got out of the bathroom, Tatsuya then contacted me, asking if I had made a contact, I told him what happened and he suspected that Blanch might indeed be part of what was going on .
He said that it was reasonable for them to target me, but why was he targeted as well, a person who isn't familiar with what's happening might feel offended by his words easily, but I was no such a person .
He told me that he let his attackers go and I didn't to ask about his reasons for doing so, since I already understood his actions, Tatsuya was working like an undercover spy here in the school .
If he were to capture the attacker and succeeded it will raise some suspicions regarding his true identity and will make the Shiba siblings become an official targets for whatever organization behind this .
So, in the end it was better to just let go of the matter for now, but that didn't mean that the investigation would stop, he just will try not to cause a scene with his actions .
I agreed with his point of view to some extent, but started to wonder if those guys had already invaded those at the top of this society pyramid, maybe had a few bases even under their command, perhaps .
We finished reporting with recognizing the fact that both of the guys who attacked us wore the same kind of bracelet, I had told him about finding traces of Evil Eye being used on the janitors, but I had already removed the effects that Evil Eye had on them .
We both stayed silent for a while, then I said :
" I believe that the person who attacked you also seem to be affected by Evil Eye, there are not that small number of people all from course 2 that are affected too, I believe that the events at school will be quite chaotic in the next few days .
He concurred that this was indeed the case and we continue to talk for a while, until he cut the connection due to him meeting up with Miyuki, he didn't want her to worry, so he said to leave things ar that for the time being .
We weren't trying to come with countermeasures or anything like that, what we were actually trying to get a clue of, was what exactly were those guys trying to achieve by doing this ? .
What was their motive and purpose, Tatsuya had gotten aware of all those that are influenced by Evil Eye and said that he will contact the military to see what he can find .
I wrecked my brain trying to find what they were after, but in the end due to how scarce the information I have was, in the end I wasn't able to get much results, all I understood was that they were going to use course 2 students under their control and make them unnerve the school somehow .
Even though I didn't know what Blanche was directly after, them being an anti-magic focused organization was plenty enough for me to stop them, I hadn't still forgotten about that incident back then .
Letting a sigh out, I was patrolling as always when a person cane running towards me with a small pointed baton, that small baton kept on trying to pierce my vital parts, it spoke a volume about how skilled her swordsmanship was .
Yes, the person that came lunging at me was none other than the red haired girl Erika who I wanted to do my best and evade her for the time being, but now it seem this was nothing but a fantasy .
" What exactly are you doing, Erika ? .
Evading another thrust to my chest, I asked her to tell me what's going on with her, but she didn't say a word and just kept her head lowered and continued attacking me .
Seeing that continuing to evade like this would be pointless, I let her hit me and the second I did decide to allow her to hit me, she directly aimed at my head, but the steel baton she used as a sword stopped inches away from my my forehead .
Why ? .
Her tone of voice was neither cold nor warm, but it was distinctive nonetheless, but she didn't say anything more, so I was truly unable to answer a clueless question .
" Why what, I can't give you an answer unless I knew what the question even is ? .
Why, why, why you hadn't said anything before ? .
She for the first time raised her head and locked eyes with me, I saw that she had a deep blush on her face, this wasn't her being bashful, this was more like a full of shame kind of blush, the corners of her her eyes were tainted with red as well, as if any second now, she might start tearing up .
I finally understood what her question was and I couldn't help but become uncomfortable myself as I said :
" Well, you should have realized after seeing that memory, that I didn't know much about anything regarding this misunderstanding, only until yesterday was I able to piece some clues together and understand what you might have misunderstood .
She finally lowered the baton and she murmured under her breath :
So did he really not see anything that day ? .
I become even more uncomfortable due to the fact that the answer I have could indeed ease her worries, but without all the details, it might increase my guilt a bit more .
" Well, if you are asking about that day in particular, then indeed I hadn't seen anything back then, Fluffy appearance was meant as a silly joke, it wasn't intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable or anything .
She was surprised that I answered her silent murmuring to herself and confused it with something else, she being true to her character no matter what is the situation lashed out at me saying :
Don't go around reading my thoughts .
" I wasn't reading your thoughts, I heard your murmuring, after all, my senses are quite sharp, else that baton of yours could have ended my family bloodline with me .
I thought that trying to make fun of the situation, might help her in calming down, even if it was just slightly, but I really couldn't read this girl at all, she said :
But you aren't denying that you can indeed read people's thoughts ? .
Seeing me fell silent, she took a step forward and stood inches away from me then locked her eyes with mine and squinted slightly while saying, how about you read what I have in mind now .
It was a trap, I kept telling myself that it was 100 percent a trap and I shouldn't fell for it, but it had been quite the long time since I have used this ability of mine on someone, since it kept getting stronger and stronger as the time passed .
It didn't only allow me to interact with the person mind and read what his neuronal receptors are transporting, his thoughts, his plans for his future, his desires, everything about him was being laid bare before my very own mind, if before I didn't want to intrude on anyone's private space .
Now, if I were to use this supernatural magic, I can completely even strip that person of his will, if my Consciousness was stronger than him and if I wanted to do so forcefully .
Erika, Leo, Mizuki, even Tatsuya can only resolve to keep restoring the copy of his conscious with his magic, I was troubled with Miyuki for a bit not because her mental barrier was stronger, but it was actually me who was more worried about what I could see inside her head, I already got a trauma when I used it on Juvia, never again would I try that any time soon .
Anyway, I did as she wanted me to and indeed invaded her mind and saw what she was thinking while she was staring dead serious in my eyes with a blush on her face, the second I wanted to, I was able to read and see what she was currently imagining, seeing what she had on her mind .
I was once again traumatized by what I was seeing and experiencing, all I could say was while stopping my nosebleed :
" You are quite an obscene girl, you know that ? .
She for some reason acted all shocked about what I was saying and her solemn expression turned to one that was completely dyed with disbelief as she pointed her finger at me with tears in her eyes and said :
You, you, you are actually able to know what I'm thinking of .
" Know, know what, damnit, I'm even able to see it exactly how you imagined it, don't tell me that you had doubted me being able to do this, are you seriously this dense ? .
She was already blushing excessively and hid her face between her hands and without waiting for even a second more, she stormed out of the place, but in her path there happened to be a banner that was hanged a bit low, she unable to see clearly hit the post that banner was hanged on .
A cry of both surprise and pain sounded from her as she was forced to stop her fleeing, but soon she completely vanished from this place after picking up her pace .
Instantly after this my phone started to get a lot of messages and soon the whole corridor was filled with emojis that had materialized by the effects of magic, angry ones, heartbroken ones, crying ones, all kind of negative emojis were sent to me, vanquishing them all in instant .
Women were starting to get on my nerves in these past few days, why in the world were all of them acting like I owed you them something, first Juvia, my mother, Erika, now that crazy Officer too, can't all of them give me a break already .
Setting a barrier forbidding her from sending any more of this barrage of emojis to me I turned off my phone as she tended to play tricks on me these past few days .
Just as I finished dealing with this, I sensed a presence suddenly appearing at the end of the corridor and gazing at what that person was doing, I saw that she seemed to be preparing to launch herself at me and was waiting for the right moment to do so .
Seeing her like this, I recognized her instantly to be one of the staff in this school and this wasn't all, she was also the person who had kept sneaking around me yesterday and the day before .
Haruka Ono, our Integration Counselor and the women who had a supernatural magic that allowed her to completely conceal her aura, presence and even her Eidos, it didn't take that much time to found everything about her, she was acting as a double agent of some kind .
On one side she was working with the Public Security Office and on the other side, she was an information brooker, an excellent one too, her skills allowed her to gain even an impressive title, PHANTOM LADY .
For some reason that woman was currently infiltrating my school and acting as a counselor, in a place where most students want nothing but to kill one another if given a chance, but this wasn't weird as much as her currently trying to sync her body to be at just the right timing to end up crashing into me .
Just as I was about to pass by the end of my current path, she appeared to be in a quite of a hurry and was unable to stop in time, her hopes were meaningless to me, since I have already decided to leave some distance enough for me to help her before she directly crash into the floor .
Ahhhh, thank you for saving me .
She was shocked at her plan suddenly failing at such a crucial time, panicking as she was about to kiss the floor, I stretched my hand and pulled her up, she was shaken for a few seconds there, then she was suddenly sticking close to me as she thanked me .
Again not wanting to let any room for a misunderstanding to happen, I made some distance between us, a boundary she was more than willing to get past and closing on me again .
" Don't worry about it, Ono-sensei, just watch your steps next time .
I suddenly sensed someone was keeping an eye on me and saw that indeed there was a camera acting in a strange way, it took one look to know the one currently peeping at me, officer Kobayashi wasn't about to give me any rest, weren't she aware that what she currently commiting was a crime and quite the severe one too .
I guess this how a person who is confident in his hacking skills can act, not liking her doing this in the slightest, I kicked her out of the entire school network, I saw her gnawing her teeth in frustration and soon returned my full attention to the issue at hand .
You are Yotsuba Ryuu-san, right, mind if we took some time to talk about a serious matter that I think it's better for you to know about .
Seeing that there was no much of an issue with talking to her for a few minutes to see what she have in mind and what exactly was she after !!!! .
