"Huh? The principal's office? What are you going to do there?" I stared at Gwen.

"Ask him to cancel the final match what else," I started walking.

"Ryan, Ryan! That's a really big step,"

"You do not want to die, right?" I asked her by turning my head around. She gulped and shook her head, "Good. then come with me,"

We were standing in front of his office. I took a deep breath before knocking on the principal's door.

"Come in," Steve answered the knock on the door.

"Let's go, you ready?" I asked Gwen before opening the door and stepping inside. She nodded once. She was nervous I could see.

I pushed the door and stepped inside his office.

Atkinson lifted his head, dropped his pen on the table, and leaned back in his chair.

"Ryan Walker. Come, take a seat," He pointed both of his palms at the chair in front of his table.

"Greetings sir,"

"Oh, good morning," he smiled, "I see you've brought your friend too. So what is it?"

"Uh, sir, I have a request," he hummed, "I want you to cancel our final with the Plague masters,"

"Are you serious?" he scoffed. I nodded, "And why?"

"I do not want this match to happen. If it happened.. everything will be"

"Give us specific reasons,"

I do not think I have a good lie as a good answer to this question. I will just spill the truth.

"Because we will be attacked by the underworld exactly at 11:30 AM today," his smile disappeared.

"Ryan. I respect you as my student but if this is some kind of joke-"

"Sir, I am not kidding. We are in danger," Steve was not able to control his chuckle. I glanced at him.

"Do you have any proof about your information to be true?" I shook my head.

"I know it sounds like I am a fortune-teller or something, or as if I have a Trait to see or predict the future... It's none of them, I know it just because I know it. This is not a guess or prediction. If this goes on we will be attacked and the Mafia will massacre this whole Academy,"

"You are talking big, you know," Steve interrupted. Johan was listening quietly without saying anything or showing anything on his face.

"Please, I know it's sudden and all, but I really request you to cancel this final battle,"

"Ryan. you are not making any sense, please get out of the-" Johan raised his hand, Steve stopped talking.

"Ryan. I do not know if you are making all this being attack thing up but we can not cancel the finals without a proper reason,"

"I am giving you a proper reason! I said we are going to be attacked-"

"You are in my office. Do not raise your voice,"

"Sorry sir but listen to me-"

"We can not just make a decision depending upon your gut feeling. And we can not cancel the finals without the consent of both of the units,"

Both of the units... Argh.

"Bring Rigid here, then we will discuss this topic,"

"I have already asked him, his unit has declined our draw proposal,"

"Hmm, so you came here despite being rejected? Then that settles everything. The finals of class-wise Leveling event will continue,"

"But sir, listen to me, if this happens we all will be massacred,"

"Okay, Ryan you can go back to your unit and prepare for the match,"

"Sir! A Mafia army of two hundred men will attack this Academy! Our Academy is not even prepared for that attack! How can you take it so lightly when-"

"How dare you say such things about our Academy?" Steve shouted, "We are always prepared for anything,"

"No-!"

"Ryan!" Johan snapped his table and stood up. Gwen and I both panicked, "GET OUT OF MY OFFICE RIGHT NOW!"

I got up, I grabbed Gwen's hand and pulled her, she was getting up anyway. We started walking, I grabbed the office's door and pulled it open.

Ah, I should tell him about this. I thought before stepping out. Gwen stopped, I stopped. I turned my neck around.

"If your Academy is well prepared to take two hundred men..."

Johan sighed and sat down on his chair, Steve got him a glass of water, " Then I hope your Academy is well prepared for Tye Sheridan too,"

Johan's eyes darted up from the steeple he formed with his hands, resting his chin on his steeple.

"What? What did you say?" he got serious all of a sudden.

"Tye will be coming at 11:30 Am," He scrutinized, "Tye Sheridan is coming," Their expressions went pale, "To kill me, a 16-year-old kid,"

I turned my head back, I pulled Gwen out of the office. The door shut loudly behind us, we walked without looking back.

"That plan failed, now what?"

"Devon, he said he will think of something,"

"Right. I think he's our last hope which can stop this final match," I nodded. I felt pressure coming from inside of my body.

My grip on Gwen's hand fell which made her pause and take a look at me.

"Gwen. I think.."

"What happened?"

"You go ahead, I need to use the washroom,"

Her face lightened up, "Ah, ah~ the washroom, sure, sure," she started walking, "In the infirmary then." she walked away waving her hand.

Yeah, the pressure I talked about was nothing but.. this. I took a turn around the corner and went inside the washroom.

"What do you think, Steve?"

"I do not believe him. He has been trouble-"

"You do not believe him. He says the Tye Sheridan is coming,"

"There's no way someone like him will come just to kill someone like Ryan,"

"He was attacked before. Few times. You know it, do you think it's Colm Feore's father again?"

"That does not mean the most wanted criminal will come for him? He does not even come for our Trait Masters.. why Ryan? We have not heard anything from them, I think no they are not involved,"

"He seemed confidant, he was not scared, I did not smell any nervousness inside him,"

"You believe him?"

"I do not. But I still do not want his prediction to come true. If it's Tye Sheridan... You do not need to be scared of him, you do not need to like him, you just need to be prepared for him"

"You mean?"

"Yes," Johan got up from his seat, "Prepare a force of five hundred men in front of the gates of this Academy right now!"

"Okay, sir. I will get it ready," Steve left.

"Ryan Walker... Just who are you? What are you?" he muttered leaning against his table.

Finally, I was done. I got out of the washroom and was walking in the corridors towards the infirmary when suddenly someone pulled me by my shoulder.
