Chapter 202: Chapter 202 Falling asleep
The eight students were all lined up in one row in the meeting space . They stood straight, nervous all the while thinking just why they had been chosen to meet with Jack Truedream . Concurrently, Erin was doing everything to keep her cool .
As she looked towards her left, she could see Peter standing calmly beside her . Of course, he didn't have to worry about anything since his powers wouldn't be taken away . However, it was different for her . Constantly moving her head around the room, she was trying to see if there was any way for her to get out .
Although none of them was planning to sit down, there was a chair behind each of the eight students . Perhaps, they would be asked to sit the further they stayed inside the room .
It was a small meeting room that was used for one-on-one consultations . Currently, the students were standing in the centre while Jack was standing just in front of the desk with a single chair . Lingering by his side was the small guard dressed in a green armour .
As of the moment, the main problem for the escape was the large sentry guarding outside . Erin knew that the others were planning to try to get Peter out of this situation . For the sole reason that they had to, if they wanted to keep their matter with Quinn a secret . But now she wished she had stayed in the meeting room, so she would know what their plans were .
Maybe she could have even helped .
"Now, you might be wondering why you have all been brought here, in front of me, today," Said Jack . "It seems like, either one way or another, you have been all suspected of a dangerous crime . Though I have no knowledge what that crime is . Perchance, a part of a secret terrorist group or maybe plotting to go against the military . However, it is not my job to find that out because that's the school's responsibility . "
Halting his speech, Jack slammed his hand on the table to inculcate the gravity of the situation to the students . He resumed his talk once he was done .
"The punishment that has been handed to you is to have your abilities taken away . "
As soon as Jack said those words, a couple of students dropped to their knees, complaining, "But, I didn't do anything, this can't be right?"
Some of them cried while one student, who was closest to the exit, made a dash for it . Before he had even taken a few steps, he felt a stinging pain on the back of his neck . At that point, his head started to swirl and his vision slowly began to fade, until he sudennly collapsed on the floor .
"Oh my gosh! Is he dead?!" A student cried .
The others were unable to see it because of how fast everything had happened, but Erin had seen it all . The green guard had taken out what looked like a small needle and swirled it inside his mouth with his tongue . Now, laced with a tiny amount of what looked like green liquid, it was catapulted right at the student's nape .
"I hope nobody else tries that again," Jack said . "This process is meant to be quick and painless . Now, please sit down on the seats behind you . I don't want there to be any more accidents . "
Each of the students did as they were told . They carefully watched the guard lift the student who was passed-out onto one of the empty chairs .
This was the deal-breaker for Erin . She had to do something otherwise she would lose her ability forever .
Hence, with a resolute countenance, she faced Jack and uttered, "But, we really didn't do anything sir," Erin said . "If you do this, people will find o about your made-up lies, we can just tell everyone the truth!"
"Oh, don't you worry about that, for once I take your abilities away, you shall all pay a special visit to the dungeon . The school will then report to the rest - what was it that you said? Right, made up lies . The most common one and accepted is usually you were all working for Pure . With that, the students' curiosity will disappear and with it, your existences . "
The green armoured guard from earlier then started to walk over to the students . Erin was second to last along the row while Peter was sitting at the very end .
The guard had prepared some green liquid that was placed in some type of vial . He proceeded to place the liquid on the tip of his finger . Using his index, he would place it down right between the eyebrows, just above the nose, of the students .
Then, after a few seconds, the student would fall asleep . " A sleeping ability?" Erin mumbled .
"Ding ding ding, like I said, I'm not a monster . Although, by the time that you guys wake up, you will already be in the dungeon . "
The guard had gone through the other students and it was finally Erin's turn . For a while now, she had been fumbling with something behind her back, waiting for Jack to get close, but he never did . He always stayed at a distance away .
When the guard went to place his finger on her head, she immediately swung out her arm, aiming for his temple . In her hand was a small dagger that had been formed from ice .
She knew the guard was strong and fast, but a blow with a sharp object would be able to take down most people no matter who they were .
To her dismay, the guard didn't react at all . He continued with his task, placing his finger on her forehead . Nevertheless, just before the dagger reached his head, with his other hand, he had grabbed it and crushed it to pieces . The speed was too fast, so she had never thought that it was possible to block an attack that close, unless one had a speed ability .
Still, she was sure that he was the one who had produced the sleeping agent - It was most likely from his blood . Which was why he had pricked the needle against his tongue . It was impossible for someone to have two abilities unless they were unlike Vorden .
This solely meant one thing . The beast gear he was wearing was at such a high level, it was able to boost the user's stats to the point where they no longer seemed human .
Accordingly, she was not able to resist, and a few seconds later, she was asleep like all the others .
Finally, it came to Peter's turn . Willingly, before the man had even placed his finger on his forehead, he had closed his eyes . He knew that just looking at these people would annoy him, but he needed to follow his Master Quinn's order .
Hence, he decided to keep them shut for now . Once the green liquid was placed on his head, all the students were ready .
Jack then looked at the green guard and cleared his throat out loud, signalling for the guard to leave .
"As you wish, sir . " He said as he bowed down and left the room .
Now, standing outside as guard-on-duties, just by the door, were the two guards .
"Did he make you leave again . " The large guard asked .
"Yeah, I don't know why . We all know how his ability works . " The green man replied .
The mechanical spider remained inside the room while Peter's watch recorded everything . Logan was unsure whether the second guard would ever leave the room . Yet, for some reason, it seemed like Jack had asked him too .
This would make their job easier, but they had to act now .
"Everyone, go . Both guards are outside and only Mr Trudream and the students are inside!"
