I was baffled by what I am seeing that I immediately terminated the memory scan on that particular memory. I am still lying down on the floor and Yaya and Volta are still nowhere to be seen. I used up all my energy and the penalty for the forced awakening had already taken effect, since I have nothing better to do except to lie down, wait for the inevitable and wait for rescue, I had to scan Onizuka"s memory for any useful intel. It was also strange why I can quickly scan Onizuka"s memories like I am just watching a video in my phone which is pretty strange and weird feeling.Oh, right! The location of the kidnapped kids! How can I neglect and forget that important intel!
After remembering what I was about to do, I scanned the memories despite having a trouble on that particular memory about Shadow. That guy was peculiar and did that guy just managed to peer into the fourth wall and almost interacted with me? That was horrifying! And if they did, I would be really in trouble! That Shadow guy might be an ethereal being right now but I am not doubting that the guy who just spoke with Onizuka on the memory scan is a high leveled guy, which is much higher leveled than Yaya, Moonlight, and Volta and I doubt that the trio can even win against that guy. Therefore, I just had to be careful in the memory scan.
The scanning is easy and within a few seconds of checking the memories of Onizuka, I managed to see that very memory and the location of the kids. Apparently, they are not stored in Sensouji Temple but on a random warehouse near Sensouji that was abandoned by the owner a long time ago. All of the kids are unconscious. I decided to remember that one before I backtracked further on checking why he did the act of kidnapping. However, I failed to do so due to the blurry memories that I can"t seem to check fuirther on.
I sighed in disappointment and decided to just preserve my energy up and just rest. The battle against Onizuka is quite taxing to my body and to the fact that Onizuka is a higher leveled Magician, I can"t move more due to that with the additional of the penalty from the condition of the Crystal seed, I was now bored without anything to do left.
Just as I was about to close my eyes and take a slight nap, I heard footsteps but it was pretty light and I can easily tell that there are two pair of footsteps walking on. I can"t move my neck so I have to wait. But I was also getting vigilant because it might be an enemy. But the very thing I am hoping is that the two owners of the footsteps are Yaya and Volta. But there is also a huge chance that it was another monster. Luckily, I heard the voices of Yaya and Volta immediately.
"Oh sh*t, its Kazuma!" Volta"s voice said.
"d.a.m.n, I knew it was a mistake to send him here in advance! He is still not yet strong enough and he might die! We need to help him!" Yaya was clearly panicked but she sounded calm if not for the shaking tone on her voice.
"Hey... I am not dead yet, if you ask me. Please don"t mourn on me yet," I said to them.
"Don"t worry, Kazuma we are not. We know you are a tenacious b*stard so don"t worry, you are still not forgotten," Volta appeared in my line of sight.
"Hah, yes indeed," Yaya also appeared in my line of sight.
"So how are you feeling now man? You alright?" Volta grinned.
"Dude, can"t you see how bashed up I am right now and you want to ask me if I am okay? Well, I should say that, I do! I am very fine! As you can see, I am chilling out here in the cold floor waiting for the two of you to deliver me to the safety place!" I sarcastically said to him while smiling.
"Quit it you two. I had confirmed that the enemies are no longer in the vicinity. What happened anyway, Kazuma? Did you meet the mastermind to get this bashed up?" Yaya asked.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"Yeah, he is lying over there on the wall. I managed to sneak attack him after using the card that Volta had given to me or else, I won"t be talking to the two of you now," I answered to them, of course, without the mana tree side and the soul taking one.
Yaya scanned the room and stopped when she managed to see the body of Onizuka. Volta looked around and saw the card on my feet. He picked it up and waved it in front of my face.
"So you find my card useful right, Kazuma?" Volta grinned.
"Fine, it was super useful and the one that allowed me to escape death. If not for that, I would be dead, yeah," I said to Volta.
"Ha, don"t worry, I would be willing to make a few more as long as it is counted as rent payment. If you want to buy it, you can also do it," Volta grinned.
I sighed in helplessness.
"Wow, this guy is pretty bushed up. And you managed to kill the guy with just a few spells? His body is pretty burnt and he will literally die even if he is a magician! Kazuma, you murdered someone!" Yaya exclaimed.
I was stunned and came into realization. I killed someone. Although I did not do it by using any kind of weapon at all, I still killed the guy in my own hands! Sh*t! I think I am screwed and Yaya is currently a friend of Rena who is the one who controls the police force at the moment. Do I have to spend the rest of my time alone in a cell?
"Hahaha, that reaction is hilarious Kazuma!" Yaya laughed. Even Volta is laughing.
"What is going on? Ah, do I need to turn myself over to the police?" I asked hastily. Sweat is pouring in my face and dispite I can"t turn my head easily due to the bedridden effect, I think, I will be spending my recovery days in the jail now.
"Hahaha, Kazuma, I am just messing with you. Killing them are nothing and they don"t exist in the laws of the world. So their disappearance is something else. You don"t have to feel guilty for killing them," Volta said.
"The rules of humans and magicians are different and as long as humans like Onizuka is up, the world is not going to be in peace,"Yaya further explained.
"So, does that mean, its case closed? I mean, I got the location where the kids are kept," I revealed to them.
"Well, unfortunately, the case is not yet done. Onizuka has an accomplice, and I fear that this event is just the small part of a bigger conflict Kazuma," Yaya informed me with a disappointed tone.
