Moby's mind began spinning in circles taking in what he had just realized…

He had only assumed to be asleep for an hour or two but it was much longer in reality.

No wonder Avilia was in such haste to explain everything… He had been asleep for a week straight? Had the absorbing process for his ability taken that long and been that painful and taxing on his body?

He now only had 20 minutes left before the start of school… He lost all the time that he wanted to train, go into a trial, study his new ability that was rumoured to be extremely difficult. But now, all those thoughts were ripped to shreds and discarded with nothing he could have done but suck it up.

Knowing that it was not Avilia's fault for not informing him since she most likely wanted him calm during her conversations, he did not reprimand her. And, seeing how his teammates were slowly waking up, feeling greater power exuding from them than before made him immediately tense up.

He had to keep his persona of a calm and collected leader in order to not affect the morale of his troops so he immediately thrust his many worries under his poker face, his expression of shock and panic completely disappearing along with it.

"Hwaaaahhhh… It's morning already?"

"M-m-moby… You're okay!?"

Tears filling her eyes, Jayden immediately jumped on Moby like a pouncing cat, pushing him down towards the bed with a waterfall of tears running down her face.

Moby not at all surprised by her actions hugged her back and petted her head to comfort her with a smile on his face, running his hands through her smooth dark blue hair. He held her by the shoulders and stood right up, wiping the tears from her eyes and spoke using his mind-link.

"Don't worry, I was never in any real danger! I'm the future demon lord after all! We don't have much time now, we need to catch the others up on what happened and explain the rest of the plan,"

Giving her a small kiss on the forehead before looking down to the rest of his team, Jayden wiping away the rest of her tears with a smile as she sat by Moby, her expression slowly turning more serious.

"Jayden! You're back! How did it go? Where is Abby? Is she safe?" Alex spoke with clear worry in his voice as soon as the room came back into view, looking at Jayden and Moby sat up in the top bunk.

"M-Moby… What's this feeling coming out from you?" Ray mumbled in a low yet audible voice, Jason and Nags sat a few meters to his right, Jason wearing a look of frustration while Nags sat there with his arms crossed, exuding with calmness.

With a wave of his hands, Moby put the room to silence before he spoke.

"Okay everyone, listen up! School starts in 20 minutes meaning that in slowed time, I only have 2 hours to tell you the new plan and explain everything if we want to make it to class on time. But in short, Abby is captured and has been brainwashed, Jayden couldn't get her back and I now sort of have 2 abilities…"

***********************************

Walking through the blue hallways of the school, the entire building shaking under the wake of his presence and stride, his suit well put, his beard well-kempt and his long blue hair flowing in the back with an angry scowl on his face walked one man, followed by a fair, brown-haired girl half his size who seemed clearly concerned as they both approached an ocean of people screaming and crowded ahead.

"M-my lord! Calm yourself! It is not our turn to go in! It's only 50 people at a time! We might get in trouble!" The worry and sweat running down the girl's face were clear as she continuously tried to hold him back and discourage him from doing what he wanted to do.

"Does it look like I care!? Stop bugging me and let me be! It was your fault we were late in the first place! My daughter was in this school the entire time and never came back home and I was only just informed from a note that was hidden under the fucking door! She was in deep trouble all because of these careless shitty teachers and rules! I can't sit idly by anymore! This shit is too much!"

The killing intent and cold stair of the man in front of her was too much for her to bear as she gave up her futile attempts of holding him back as she watched him walk towards the people ahead.

She had been working under that man for so many years and all that he had been to her was kind and generous, this was the first-ever time she had seen him in such a state. The way he looked at her was unlike anything she ever imagined coming out of him, making her face turn paler than a ghost and her heart lurch deep down in her chest with the feeling of cold death running down her spine…

However, considering his situation and circumstances, she could not really blame him and her loyalty did not at all wane. If anything, her concern for him grew…

"Get out of my fucking way!"

Like a bulldozer, people flying left and right, the man walked right into the crowd of screaming adults with no care in the world, shouting at everyone to let him enter.

"Hey! Buddy! Wait your turn! What do you th-" As soon as the man noticed who he was talking to, his shadowy eyes coming into view, he bit his tongue to stop his words.

However he had been far too late to react... before he even had the chance to scream in fear, he was immediately thrust out of the way like a rag doll, crashing on the ground with an impressive thud thanking god that it was only what he had received as it could have very well been much worse considering it was the shadow of death himself he was addressing in such a tone.

As soon as the crowd noticed who it had been that had entered the crowd like a bullet train, they immediately went completely silent, their faces becoming paler than a ghost, sweat running down their face as they parted akin to Moses parting the red sea, allowing him full, unhindered entry to the general's office, his shadow aura exuding on full display as he made his way to the General's front desk.

"RYKKKERRR!!" He screamed, slamming his hands straight on the general's metal desk, making cracks form around it, everyone that was once standing around him screaming now in complete silence, staying away from that man as they knew full well who he was…

"What is the meaning of this!? First thousands of students dead on another planet and now mass murderer running around in your own damn school!? My daughter was at risk of dying both of those times! What is the fucking meaning of this! Explain yourself! What kind of shitty hellish school is this?!"

Despite the man's screams that echoed around the room and the angry crowd to his side, the general kept his calm, a cool smile on his face, the nurse standing right next to him on standby.

Unlike his normal attire and look, he seemed extremely professional, his orange hair gelled back, his beard perfectly trimmed and his clean and bright, bags still under his eyes,

"Mason my old friend it's been a while and that's how you want to greet me?"

*Slam*

"Heh heh, you know, I enlisted my daughter in this school when I found out you were the general because I trusted you! But now that's all behind us! I don't care how close we were before! You fucking crossed the line! I know you're already going to be fired but that is not enough! You are a danger to society and need to be either locked up or executed! I'll go out of my way to make sure of that!"

Still unhindered by Mason's words and cold, shadow stair he spoke once more, the smile on his face growing even larger.

"Oh! Don't be like that! I promise it's all a misunderstanding! The exam situation had already been explained to you since all I did was follow proper protocol and now the entire school system around the globe already adjusted themselves so such a mistake would never happen again, yet I was still getting fired to appease the masses. But this time, it's an entirely different story… My team and I have done some investigation around the crime scene with every expert we know and we have evidence that could suggest alien activity…"

The entire crowd gasped at once, almost unable to believe their own ears as they knew exactly what the general was insinuating.

Yet, Mason wanted to hear it come out of his own mouth…

"Are you saying…"

"Yes my friend… I do believe that it was the work of a Shalker…"

The eyes of everyone in the silent crowd grew even wider and gasped once more hearing it come out of the general's mouth, despite them knowing that it would come out…

"Is that the only excuse you got? Are you really that desperate? How would a Shalker even be able to enter the school undetected? Stop your bullshit!"

The room fell silent once more, the smile of the general for some reason still growing wider as he responded.

"Like I told you, I have already found evidence… The Shalkers probably have all matters of technology at their disposal that might allow for such a thing... It might sound farfetched now but trust me it won't soon… Just give me a week… 1 week is all I need to prove everything…"
