Anything for benefits

It was still night and the kids were getting ready

Athel had merely put on a stronger defensive type kimono and he also got a regular sword even though he didn't have great mastery with it he decided that it would still help if need be

He also got some items and some techniques from Kolitis some that he could use right now to practice with, Kolitis had given then to him so he could train it at the forest where the spiritual energy was abundant

Elizabeth and Roun had the same treatment but they dressed in some military like garments, some plain pants and a defensive type, buttoned jacket they were matching

While the students of the third branch did their own thing

...…..

Dawn: the Chiaroscuro particles had transformed and allowed the light side of em to take over and the quiet streets had displayed that people had just begun to come out of their houses as carts and stands where getting set up but within just a few moments the streets were already tumbling due the the bustling streets and in front of the travel tunnel stood a couple of kids accompanied by a few adults

Athel stood alone as he glared around at the other kids there were 8 other kids that were accompanied by a servant and a few students had their master with them he wanted to observe them a little more but his attention was pulled by the girl that ran twords him while shouting "Brother!"

His eyes immediately widened but before he could react she jumped into his arms and head butted his ribs but his joy overwhelmed his pain as he wrapped his arms around her

Elizabeth walked up to the brother and sister slowly as she was accompanied by viola she still stood a distance away from them so as to not ruin their emotional meeting

After a few minutes of catching up they settled down but not even three minutes later the travel tunnel started powering up alerting them that it was time to go

"Well we should stick together once we reach the forest it would be great to bond a little.....alone" Athel said as he glanced at Elizabeth that was following close behind them

Viola had stayed behind and so did the other adults

"No I had to protect her so I should be there" Elizabeth said as if it was nonnegotiable

"I can protect her just fine!" Athel said as he stopped walking and looked at her with cold eyes

His eyes excluded a pressure which seemed as if he had faced all challenges it was even enough to weigh on Elizabeth but she stood tall and stood her ground and she stared at him with a fierce glare

Athel quickly gave up and said "fine! you guys do what you want! I'm better off alone anyways" before he scurried away.

Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders as she watched him walk away but Roun's saddened expression made her feel extremely bad

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that" Elizabeth apologize but Roun stayed quiet and continued walking towards the travel tunnel

The travel tunnels platform was twice as big as the one at pretentious city it fit all the kids and moments later the platform closed and the other side connected to the travel tunnel opened. the coordinates were put in so they merely jumped in and let the flow take them

It wasn't wise to talk in the tunnel due to the high air pressure so they all stayed quiet and used their protective techniques to function and move smoothly

It it seemed as if Kolitis was feeling good he actually given Athel a protective technique but he did not not think about it to much

....

"Don't touch it, if you touch it does that mean energy will try to corrupt you and it will take over your body and your soul and even with defensive methods your body and soul will still melt and fuse with the energy which could potentially create ghouls

The group leader explained as he looked into the pool of pitch black resentment energy

"We have to go back I was prepared for some resentment energy, but a condensed pool of it is a different story I'm not prepared for this, we need to go back and regroup this might have spread all over the city so more groups are needed" The group leader said in a deep tone

He quickly discovered as to why his aura detection couldn't pass a certain point but he had no time to think about that as he looked at his soldiers reactions

The rest of the team stayed quiet but they nodded silently

The group leader went back to the travel tunnel port and waited as the rest of them went around the city to see if the resentment energy was truly all over it

...…

Enopy was in his head his sea of consciousness to be specific

He was glancing at a red substance that was located across from him it floated above The sea inside of his consciousness and it was shaped in a cylindrical form it was covered in a blue glow that had a string attached to it if one was to trace the string they would see that it came from Enopy's system that was located at his heart of his astral form

He stared at the right cylinder for hours he was about to retract his astral form but suddenly a voice rang out

"What do you want kid" The voice was more menacing than anything in this world it was hourse and seemed as if it belonged to a demon and its origin was from the red cylinder

This cylinder was actually the entity that he had collected from the demonic book

Enopy didn't think long before a smile appeared on his face

"I'll let you go if you give me....." Enopy stoped there he didn't want to make his goals clear all the thing needed to know was that he wanted benefits no matter what shape or form

"Hahagahahaha, well that's fair... I guess but who said I wanted to be free? Hmm?" The thing said

Enopy stayed quiet as his face stayed normal

"Well who doesn't want freedom?" Enopy said in a cold voice

"Well did you hear me complaining!" the thing said

Enopy quickly dived into deep thought

Although he seemed as if he was stressing he had a plan after all when it came to benefits everything but his intelligence was nonexistent giving him access to all types of thoughts and scenarios he was like a living robot and he would definitely get what he wants
