In the basement (chapter 33)
TW: KIDNAPPING AND R4PE
"Ichiro, Enya and Phoebe, I need you to come with me" Lucas demanded while looking to the three of them
The four of them stood up, grabbing flashlights for each one of them. Ichiro opened the door and looked back
"Don't hunt and just rest, be always aware, someone might break in. If possible you could switch patrolling" he stated before leaving
"Let's go to the basement of building 4" Lucas said and while walking, none of them have their flashlights on
"What's in there?" Phoebe asked
"Just follow us, use your potential if someone might catch us" says Lucas
They are now in front of the building 4, they took a deep breathe before coming in. But someone did interrupted them
"Why are you here?"
It's Hades, smoking beside building 4's entrance
"None of your business-"
"Please don't tell to anyone!" Phoebe cuts Enya off
Hades smirked and threw the cigarette away
"Why? Is it something important?" Hades asked
"It is" Ichiro answered and turns on his flashlight
"Tell me what it is and I'll keep my mouth shut" Hades sneered with a cold face
"You guys decide if he'll come or not" Ichiro said and left
They all came to the door to enter the basement with Hades smirking
"The basement? What's in here?" Hades asked
"Just shut your mouth, will you?" Enya said with an irritated face
"The mana is coming from down here.." Ichiro whispers with his eyebrows meeting
"Mana? Potentials costs nothing!-"
"That's what you think but if you can manipulate your mana well and aware of it then you'll also sense the mana of others" Ichiro cuts Phoebe's words off
"From others..?" Enya asked, Lucas opened the door and entered it, finally opening his flashlight on
The others followed him and lastly, Enya closed the door. They all went down to the wooden stairs and reached the basement
"Shuttlecocks, ball of basketballs.. These are all equipments for sports" Hades complained and suddenly flinched when something fell down
He looked to his left and saw Ichiro move the closet, revealing another door. They opened it, revealing few stairs again
They all quitely went down the stairs, while Hades is holding Enya's shoulders
"Why are you holding my shoulders? We aren't even closed plus I defeated you, don't you hold some grudge you pathetic loser" Enya said
"Shut up and help me out, will you?!"
"What do you mean help you out?! You threatened us for you to come!"
"I said just tell me what'll happen not let me come with you!!"
"Nghh.."
"Mmphh..mphh!!"
"Help!!!"
"I want to live.."
Lucas immediately opened the door and what they see are other people tied up
"What the hell is this?!" Hades shouted, Enya covered his mouth, telling him to be quiet
"They're the ones that gets eliminated at the competition" Phoebe whispers. Ichiro took out his cellphone and started to take pictures of the kidnapped people
Lucas walked closer to the girl and uncovered her mouth
"Who took you here?" Lucas whispers while the girl is crying
"S-Some guards but everymorning the principal comes h-here.. talking about.. mana. A-And he also rapes us.." she answered, making all if them shocked
"What?" Enya angrily asked again and untied the girl
"How about the boys? What happens to the boys?" Lucas questions her
"They do nothing to the boys" the hostage said. Lucas walks towards to another boy hostage
"Are the boys being mistreated here?" Ichiro asks
"N-No.. just the girls" he says
"Can you stay here then? Tomorrow.. tomorrow you'll be safe. We're planning to expose the principal to the police by the end of the contest. Please, can you stay strong until then?" Lucas asked
The boy he's talking to nodded, he looked around, seeing the other boys nod too. They then spent the night untying the girls
"Expose him" Ichiro ordered and took a video of them explaining what happened all this time
"Be safe" Lucas whispers before opening the door with all the kidnapped girls
"Can you call your parents saying there's no school? You have to be safe?" Enya asked one of the girls
All of them used Enya and Ichiro's phone one by one and safely gone home
"Let's go back" Enya said and walked away
"You guys are brave.." Hades whispers to Enya after following her, while the others are left behind
"They're the ones doing all the work, not me"
"Still.. you're brave, considering you have no potential"
"Y-You!! How do you know that!" Enya shouted
"W-Wait!! I-I just guessed it! A-Are you saying I'm right?" Hades asked, Enya sighed, "Yes.."
Hades looked at Enya who's looking forward, with his rosy cheeks, admiring Enya's beauty and personality. For him.. Enya have it all
"That makes me admire you more" Hades whispered with a smile and Enya ignoring him despite hearing it, just to cover her red cheeks
