It had been a couple days since Rias left with Kiba and Azazel, since that time Alex was on alert of the attack he knew was coming any day now. He was sitting on the roof of the school with Kuroka and Le Fay, waiting. The two and Ravel were the only ones who knew since they were also the only ones who were aware of his circ.u.mstances. The rest just thought Alex was being paranoid, but didn"t dismiss his actions as they knew they must be necessary.At first Kuroka only listened to him because he asked her to as her king, but when he made a comment about preventing Koneko"s kidnapping as well she immediately started emitting a killing intent, while keeping her poker face. He was sitting there while the second years were having p.e., when suddenly he felt hostile presences invade the area. His eyes became sharp and he said to the equally alert Kuroka,
"I"ll go and deal with them, you stay and guard the building, Le Fay notify the others that there are visitors." The two nodded and set to what he told them, as Alex went towards the intruders. His glare narrowed as he realized they targeted the second years. When they realized what was going on, Irina and Xenovia started working to protect the students as they sensed Alex approaching, except two.
"What are you doing here?!"
"This is private property, we can"t have random cosplayers here!"
The two from the kendo club, Murayama and Katase, started to attempt to interrogate the trespa.s.sers. The three magicians they attempted to confront just sneered at them, and started forming magic circles. When Alex saw this he removed his limiters and sped over to them to block the attack. The two girls were surprised to see him instantly appear, right before there was a sudden flash of multiple colors from their elemental magic attacks.
Alex took all the magic attacks, and only got one scratch in return. When the two girls saw that little bit of blood, theirs drained from their faces. He continued glaring at the three aggressors, who also had the blood drain from their faces when they saw that their attacks didn"t even tickle him.
"Se-nior?" One of the girls said, as they saw him protect them with his own body. He didn"t register their words, and walked towards the three magicians. The two girls then watched as Alex proceeded to beat the three "cosplayers" within an inch of their life. Once Alex was done he turned to them and said,
"If you see anymore of these people don"t approach them, they are dangerous and will kill you without hesitation." The two didn"t know how to respond, but eventually nodded their heads. They trusted the senior that they practiced with for over a year before he joined the ORC. He then gave them his number, in case they met anymore magicians.
After that Alex made his way around the school, taking out several magicians in the process. Any that got inside the school were defeated by Kuroka, and because they didn"t get what they were after this time the attack continued until it was obvious that it was useless to continue. Soon the attack ended, and Alex delivered the magicians he caught to the outside of the old school building where the ORC was located. There he met with the student council and the rest of the ORC members to interrogate the captives and discuss what to do next.
"They were after Ravel Phoenix, and attacked the place that no one should have had access to." Sona said plainly. They all nodded gravely, as it now seemed they had a traitor. Alex knew otherwise, but wasn"t sure about how to explain it. They then turned their attention to the captives Alex brought, he couldn"t help but notice that none of the ones Kuroka fought were brought alive.
He then grabbed the nearest magician that he knocked out, and started slapping him until he woke up. Alex forgot that he removed his limiters, and accidentally slapped the man so hard he snapped his neck. Everyone looked with widened eyes, as Alex continued to awkwardly hold the mans collar.
"Oops... Maybe the next one." He then grabbed the next guy and instead of slapping him, simply flicked his forehead.
"AH, OUCH!" The man screamed, he then tried to rub his forehead where he was flicked, before noticing his hands were bound and he was currently held captive. He started glaring at Alex and the rest, and said boldly,
"Try your worst." Alex glared back at him. He suddenly smiled evilly, and started cracking his knuckles. He reached out to grab the magician who suddenly started Pauling at Alex"s s.a.d.i.s.tic smiling. But right as Alex was about to grab him again,
RING
RING
RING
His cellphone started to ring. Alex looked at the caller and was confused as he didn"t recognize the number. He hesitatingly pressed the accept b.u.t.ton and said,
"h.e.l.lo?" Suddenly a familiar female voice said from the other end,
"Senior? Ple" but that was as far as she got, before her voice cut off and another person started speaking.
"I"ll a.s.sume this is the red dragon emperor, I am the one who sent the magicians to retrieve the lady of Phoenix." When he heard the man, Alex felt a sudden rage as he realized what must"ve happened. The man continued and confirmed his thoughts.
"Since we were unable to get our hands on the Phoenix girl, we tried something else. We couldn"t help but notice the two girls you protected earlier, and that you seemed to be quite familiar with them. They"ll be waiting here with me until the Phoenix girl comes alone, after that they"ll all be returned after we have a chance to examine her." Alex fought to keep his emotions in check, and said,
"Where?" He was told the location to send Ravel, and was then told,
"Keep in mind she comes alone, if there"s even the scent of an ambush then we"ll disappear and there"ll simply be two newt test subjects for us. You have an hour." The call cut off, and Alex felt like kicking himself for his carelessness. He was so focused on ensuring Ravels safety that he didn"t bother making sure none of the other students were taken. As a result Murayama and Katase were captured after he left them. He then turned to the others and told them the situation, after doing so he turned to Ravel and said,
"I have an idea, but it"ll put you in the most danger." She looked at him with determination, and a said,
"I"ll do it."
