There were no guards to get in Damian's way and prevent him from completing the task. But of course, the principal's room would indeed have some defense mechanisms, so Damian went inside, covered by his invisibility cloak, and floating to make sure his feet did not touch anything that could trigger a trap.

If other things were protecting the room, then Damian would have to find ways to deal with it after he was inside. Darius had told him the room would have many guards, but he had dealt with them already, and no one knew for sure what was inside the principal's room; only the principal himself knew!

After entering, he first saw a desk with some papers on it and a fine chair office chair that looked comfy—a bookshelf with many books, an air conditioner, and a laptop. It looked like the room of someone who ran a company.

"A school like this is like a company, right? Anyway, where should I look first?"

The bloodstone, whose effects were still unknown to Damian, was something valuable — Darius thinks it is — so it had to be hidden, not where any visitor who came to see the principal would see it.

A hidden passage. It was not impossible to find, given the time, but Damian did not have time! The guards outside were chasing his slime clone, but they would soon realize something was amiss, and those in the surveillance room could wake up at any time!

It was a mission that had to be done fast, swiftly, and without leaving marks, but how was Damian supposed to do that if he still had to find a secret passage?

"If I were the principal, I would want a safe hidden room and something I can go to at any time in case things go wrong."

Damian moved toward the desk and sat on the comfy brown chair. He looked to the down parts of the chair and saw a button with something written above it 'massage.'

"A massage, it must feel nice... Wait, these types of chairs don't have these functions!"

He pressed that button, and instead of getting a massage, the door beneath the desk moved, showing a slide!

"Really?"

Damian could barely believe something like that worked, so he slid down, reaching a room made entirely of metal, reminding him of a bunker. There, two displays were before his eyes, one containing a bloodstone the size of a hand and the other with a.. serum!

"The serum is here too? Hahaha, luck is with me, it seems!"

The serum was the reward for winning the tournament. But Damian was still feeling a little down for not having the chance to get his hands on that serum, but now the thing was right before his eyes, and of course, he would get it!

"Sorry, I want this!"

He floated toward the displays, avoiding the lasers on the ground level, which would surely start an alarm if he touched them.

After that, he moved the displays using his mental abilities, making the glass fly. Then, without touching anything, the serum and the stone flew toward his pockets.

"Now, let's fool these people!"

With the help of his Slime Ring, Damian created two items that looked precisely like the serum and the bloodstone, respectively. There was no way of telling them they were fake, only if one tried to use it, but when that happened, Damian would not be around anymore.historical

"Now, let's move and be on our way."

Damian returned, closed the hidden passage, and quickly gazed at the surrounding area to see if there was any trace and found the secret passage, and there was nothing!

"They know I got inside but will not know I found the secret room. Should I take something else instead to diverge their attention?"

There were many books and papers, yet one thing caught his attention: a safe. Damian went near it and discovered that his mental abilities were quite good for opening locks, at least the ordinary ones that did not have other defense mechanisms.

"Let's see what this thing has inside!"

A lot of jewelry! It was even better than money, as Damian could carry more and was relatively easy to sell. So he grabbed everything and then moved toward the front door, but then he heard footsteps coming from the other side!

"They are here already, fuck."

The guards were too strong for him to fight up front, so Damian decided that his best decision was to run away, so he did, jumping through the principal's room window and gliding using his Telekineses.

Right after he did that, the door got busted open, and the guards searched everywhere for him! They quickly realized a window was broken, and when they looked through it, they saw Damian running away!

"Go after him!"

Soon many guards were looking for Damian, as they knew he had invaded a place he was not supposed to and stolen goods from the safe!

Damian, on the other hand, was glad he had asked Serana and Hazel to get themselves an escaping route, or else things were not going his way.

"Vanessa? What are you doing here?" Damian said when he arrived where the sewer was.

Serana and Hazel were waiting there, and Vanessa had found them and discovered the mission Damian was doing and said she would help if anything went wrong.

Based on the speed Damian was running and the fear on his face, something had gone wrong!

"We need to leave now!? Vanessa, are you coming with us?" Damian asked.

"Of course, I cannot let a youngster as you die so soon."

Damian waved his hand, opening the sewer passage using his mind, trying his best to save time.

"Go, go, go!" Damian said, ensuring the girls would move as fast as they could.

Each one of the girls went inside the sewer, and Damian followed it closely behind, closing the sewer after passing through, hoping the guards chasing him would not find it!
