Re: Love & Magic

2:55 AM

“They are really enjoying life, eh. From one club to another,” Dan muttered, “they are planning to spend the whole night outside.”

“Which is normal for them,” Zevien said before he continued.

“Frad’s father is the owner of Cloud Heaven Restaurant and is a 2nd class magician. His friend, Kato, has less powerful backing. His father is a 3rd class magician and a famous blacksmith in the city. His mother is also a 3rd class magician.”

“Abily, the girl with thick make-up: her parents are government workers, and both are 3rd class magicians. That second girl, Metrony: her parents are normal, but her big brother is a 4th class magician and a talented enchanter.”

“Meh, so what? It’s not like we will be found out if we move according to our plan,” Erica said with a snort.

“True, let’s wear the robes and masks before starting our plan,” Zevien said with a nod, “this area doesn’t have any people as well.”

Vernisia nodded as she turned around the car and went one kilometer away from the club before parking the car in an alley with other cars.

Afterward, four of them wore black robes with silver patterns and beastly masks on their faces. Dan held a big rope within his robe around his waist.

They bought these outfits in the night market an hour ago. Many people usually go to parties and clubhouses wearing outfits and masks at night.

After preparing, the four of them started walking towards the clubhouse one kilometer away.

After walking six hundred meters, Zevien said, “you all know what to do. We will enter inside, provoke them, and get kicked ou-,”

Zevien suddenly stopped as he saw the four of them leaving the club.

“Shit! They left the club,” Zevien said with a frown, “back to the car. We need to follow them.”

The four of them turned around and started running back when Zevien suddenly stopped on the footpath again and turned around, “wait..they are coming on this road.”

“Hehe, then let’s start,” Dan said as he grinned and saw a car coming on this road.

Zevien, Vernisia, and Erica hid behind a shop fence while Dan walked in the road and stood in the middle.

Zevien looked around for the cameras, and he only found one. It was the CCTV camera of the shop behind them. Pointing his finger towards it, he released a low-intensity exploding bullet and destroyed the camera.

*vrooom…*

“Get the fuck out, joker!” the girl with thick-make up looked out of the window and shouted at Dan.

But Dan didn’t move and just stood there while muttering, “where is the elegance she spoke about in the restaurant? Fucking drunken hypocrite bitch.”

“Humph, let’s see if he stands still until the end,” Frad snorted as he didn’t slow down the car.

They were in a big dark purple sedan car.

Seeing that they were not slowing down, Dan snorted and used his B-rank magic spell, Piercing Palms.

Two extending palm projections appeared over Dan’s hands, exuding a sharp aura. He also infused mana in his body to strengthen it to the possible limit.

One can infuse mana in their body and strengthen it to a certain extent depending on how powerful their body constitution is. If they went past their limits and infused more mana, it would instead damage their body’s foundation.

Seeing that Dan was using magic, Frad frowned and slowed down because he knew that B-rank lethal magic spell and it could shred his car apart.

“Who is this clown?” Kato spoke with an annoyed expression, “It would’ve been better if you brought that enchanted car tonight, Frad.”

Frad stopped the car five meters away from Dan and spoke, “there’s a gun in that box; take it out.”

“Damn, how do you have this gun? This shit can kill 4th class magicians,” Kato spoke with disbelief.

“Father gave me for safety,” Frad said as he grabbed the red gun with orange flaming patterns and blue vein design before coming out of the car, “by the way, which drink did you order? It’s fucking too strong.”

Frad shook his head a few times.

Zevien and others saw Frad, Kato, Abily, and Metrony leaving the car, but Frad had a gun in his hand.

“That’s a Red Hawk, Inferno Model in his hand,” Erica whispered with a frown, “we can’t defend against that gun’s bullet.”

“Doesn’t matter now. They are all together, so two potions are enough,” Zevien whispered before gesturing with his hand, “throw them now.”

Frad had his gun pointed towards Dan, who was sweating nervously because he also recognized that magic gun.

“Why the fuck did you block the road? If you don’t have any legit reason, then I will not kill you but will cripple you for sure,” Frad said as he pointed the gun at Dan’s legs and wobbled slightly.

Suddenly, from the side, two potions shot towards them and exploded when they hit them.

Zevien threw the potion right at Frad’s hand, so he was also disarmed. He hadn’t even held the gun tightly as all four of them were drunk.

Dan saw four of them slumping down, dead asleep, and sighed relief.

“You threaten this father with a gun, damn you,” Dan kicked Frad in the crotch.

Afterward, they dragged four of them to the side and started stripping them.

“Do we completely strip them?” Vernisia asked as he looked at the two girls with only undergarments.

Zevien nodded without saying anything.

“Fine,” Vernisia nodded as she used her Mana saber and started cutting off the undergarments of both boys and girls.

“Be careful, and don’t cut his little brother,” Dan said jokingly.

“By the way, if we hang them in the middle of the road, they might not come into the news tomorrow,” Erica said with a cold smile, “someone will surely recognize them and contact their parents so before the media gets the hang of this thing, it will be covered up.

“Hmmm, you are right,” Zevien nodded, “what do we do?”

“Hide them in this alley,” Erica said as she pointed at a narrow alley beside the shop, “this way, they won’t be found so fast, and police and media will move to find them and spread the news that they are missing.”

“Hehe, let’s do it,” Dan grinned as he started binding them with the rope.

Zevien went and picked up the gun, “this will be useful.”

“It’s dangerous,” Vernisia said with a worried expression, “if Frad’s father found out you have this gun, it will be easily linked to this situation.”

“No worries,” Zevien grinned, “I will not use it. I got another plan for it.”

…

After throwing Frad and others in the alley, naked and bound, Zevien drove Frad’s sedan car while Vernisia, Erica, and Dan followed him in SUV.

However, after they left, a shadow passed by the alley for several seconds before leaving quickly.

On the other hand, Zevien parked Frad’s sedan car ten kilometers away from the club and went back to the SUV before they returned to the academy.

They went to bed and slept before waking up at 6 AM.

The first thing they did was to check the news through their Digi-watch.

However, when they saw the headlines and the breaking news, their faces changed drastically.

[Four youngsters were found dead in an alley, completely naked. Their cut-off heads were put on top of their bodies…]

Dan looked at Zevien with a grave expression, “what the hell happened?”

*knock…knock….*

“Should be Vernisia and Erica,” Dan muttered as he went to the door and opened it.

Vernisia and Erica entered with slightly pale faces, “how did this happen?”

Suddenly, Zevien received a call from Yowen.

Yowen—, “how is the news? Pretty shocking right?

The four of them inside the dorm looked at each other with shock.

“This bas-,” Dan was going to curse, but Zevien stretched his hand in front of him and shook his head before asking Yowen.

Zevien—, “did you have any part in this?”

Yowen—, “of course not! Hehe, but you might be interested in this short video clip. Good luck, my dear friend~.”

*tink…*

Zevien received a video clip.

“P-play it,” Erica spoke, stammering slightly.
