"Does that mean you were ready to kill when you chose to be a hero?" Asked Lili the purest flower in this group. "No" answered Yunan "heroes are just and only kill the most evil monsters, even the worst sc.u.m of the world are only captured and sent for trial, I never thought about inflicting death on others, i only wanted to be a good hero, But i learned too much about how ugly real heroes are, and then i met Debauchery, they were the true heroes in my eyes, they only did what they thought was right, they never struggle like those in the stories. It was not about morality or the benefit of others, it was not justified or explained, they just did what they wanted, and even they followed a code they never break, because their definition of right or wrong is alien to the world""I love Debauchery for being true to themselves, they caught spies that meant harm to themselves but barely thought about it, however, the moment we innocent ones were possibly in harm"s way they did not bat an eye when killing thousands, and then came this cult who plans to ruin the world and they did not even think about letting them do as they please even before the guild master gave them the mission"
"I want to be like that, true to myself and if killing is the only way, i will do it, but i have this voice in my head telling me "not yet" so i will do my best, no matter what happens, i won"t have to kill and neither do you, we are not Debauchery, we cannot be so steadfast like them, not yet, so we will do whatever we can to keep our humanity"
"Leader said we have to apprehend every last students but she did not say how, we are smarter than we were and we know more than we should about schemes and strategy, and that is our way out, we only have to capture all of them, as for killing, there is no need for it be because Leader promised to take care of All the threats, so we play it safe and do our best, but if it comes to it do not hesitate because our lives are worth more than theirs"
"Does that mean you think we are worth more than the others?" There was caution in Reina"s voice but Leol comforted her sweetly "he means our lives and all lives are worth more than those that decide to kill, maybe also because he has a harem fetish and wants you both in his harem, so be careful with him around". That remark caused a few chuckles and lightened the mood for the kids who kept talking about silly things even past midnight. They slept with heavy hearts but not as heavy as they were coming to bed.
Sat.u.r.day morning workout was replaced by a scheming session in the hot spring, the kids still huddled together close, still feeling the cold touch of possible murder in their hearts.
"We can just go wild and Knock out every person we see then we can gather everyone and tie them up inside some hall and wait for senior to finish their end" said Lili who was pumping herself up for a big fight. "Too much time needed, we need to go fast because those seniors are beyond strong, they will be done with the town before we finish the first fight and they will just watch how we do our job" Leol explained the premise of the mission.
"We can just round them up in the central plaza and just use some kind of drug to get all of them to sleep" added Reina. "That is too risky and might not work if there is wind or they have antidotes on them, besides Debauchery did not say they would give us anything to use so we have to think without such items" Yunan took apart the strategy "but the idea of getting them to follow orders is not bad but how are we gonna make that happen?"
"The control and monitoring room!" Exclaimed Leol "if we can get in there we can control how the students behave until something changes and we are exposed" the idea of how to get the mission done efficiently was now formulating slowly. "We can get Dear Debauchery to get us inside that room and then what?", "There is the threat of teachers doing something unexpected if we start by ordering the students", "we can start by a.s.sembling all teachers then guide the students to do what we need them to", " how are we gonna do that when there is fighting noises inside the administration building", "easy, Debauchery is very quiet when you need them to" ,"so what do we do?"
"How about this, i have a very stupid plan that might actually work" Yunan came up with the first formulated plan. "We capture the director of the academy, edit his memories to make him think we are inspectors on a mission. We then tell him to use the control room to declare an urgent order of business. Gather all the personal, guards and teachers included into the conference room where Debauchery will be waiting for everyone to arrive and annihilate them at once. As for the students they were to return to their rooms and stay inside, all the weapons must be placed in a visible corner away from the student and await our inspection, he would say that students from the central base are doing the inspection for the students, so that everyone will not be bothered by our ages."
"Then all we have to do is take a list of the students and their rooms and just get inside each room, Knock out who is inside and tie them up then move to the next room. as for the noise we say we had to move the beds and wardrobes to look for contraband. What do you think?".
"It"s so stupid it might actually work" said Leol, "what about the girls?" Asked Lili "the same treatment for all, just make sure they do not make noise before they are down" answered Yunan. "What if they don"t believe us?" Asked Reina. "They are part of a secret cult that relocated whole towns because one agent did not return, even if inspections are not that frequent they are not out of the norm, we just need to play our role as tyrannical students with highest privileges from the central base, the arrogance is not needed but they must think we outrank even their director to follow our orders"
"That is a very good plan" leader applauded and almost scared the children to death they didn"t even notice her when she came, and she was not alone, even the hulking Dustan was in the same pool and the kids did not even realise it.
