Knock!

Knock!

Arion dropped his hand to the side and looked at Ayanami who evaded his stare as she anxiously bit on her nails.

\'What\'s wrong with her?\' He wondered and proceeded to knock again.

If he would be able to get a hold of those who knew about this secret that had gone missing, he could rightly take Ayanami for questioning on the whereabouts of her superior.

"Are you alright?" He had to ask when she began to glance around and her eyes wide with uncertainty.

Ayanami shook her head and her hands frantically as she tried to defend what she had meant.

Forcing a smile on her face, she gestured to him so he could see that the door had opened slightly.

Without much of a thought, Arion stepped over the threshold.

Slam!

Ayanami jumped back when the door slammed in her face, stopping her from joining Arion.

She dropped to her knees from the weakness of the scare she had gained from the previous experience and could only mumble out the words, "I\'m sorry."

Inside the room,

Arion narrowed his eyes to how dim the room was, all he could get a glimpse of was the glowing outlining lights all around.

\'What the hell is this place?\' He wondered as he tried to find his way around.

When a bright light flashed on his face, he closed his eyes and brought his hands up to shield his face.

"Who the hell are you?" He barked at the suspicious method of approach in this room.

It suddenly dawned on him that Ayanami was nowhere in sight and it felt more like a trap set out for him.

\'That slithering serpent! She tricked me!\' He gritted his teeth as he realized what he had gotten himself into.

"It would seem that you finally understood what you\'ve gotten yourself into." Nix laughed out and clapped his hands at how easy it was to get him.

While Ayanami had gone out to search for Arion, Obsidian had joined the group for the second phase of the plan.

Obsidian relaxed and leaned on the wall while engulfing himself in his dark abilities. It wasn\'t the right time to reveal he was in the room for the time being.

Arion whipped his head to the right at the voice. "Who would have thought you would be a bigger traitor than I thought you would."

Stepping out of the shadows, Nix shoved his hands into his pocket and had a smirk on his face. "Funny you should mention being a traitor."

Solis subtly increased the brightness that allowed Arion to get a glimpse of the large space in the room.

He threw his head back and stared at the towering height."What do you plan on doing with this large space?"

Solis stifled a laugh and looked over to the place where Obsidian stood hidden and concealed.

His questions were getting a lot worse than Ayanami and from the looks of it, he was bound to break with the sight of Raiken.

Nix scoffed at his words, "trust me, now isn\'t the time to know about that."

Pulling his eyes away from the top, he glared down at Nix and had a twisted smirk.

"Were you the one who had spread such a lie and used Ayanami to get to me?"

Nix tilted his head and with the glow, in his eyes, he responded, "what do you think, upper rank magic user?"

Arion felt threatened by his demeanor and brought his fist in front of him and his eyes glowed with bits of gas circling him.

"Mordovius!" He called out in a loud voice and flashed a wicked grin.

Nix raised a brow as the smoke spread out in a ring-shaped manner.

Unlike the first time, he had risked his movements in attacking Lumina with this ability. He had been given an augmentation by Sesa that made him immune to its effects. This could also mean he could use the advanced version of his abilities.

\'Yes, show me to what extent you can go with your ability, Sid would be so glad to get a low-grade upgrade.\' Nix\'s lips slightly curved upwards.

"Do you know what this could do to you?" Arion barked in pride at what one of his powerful attacks could do to his surrounding area and anyone that he came in contact with.

Since he had not gotten a glimpse of Nix during the sparring session, he had believed he had ditched it at the time.

Nix folded his arms, inhaled, and burst into laughter, temporarily stunning Arion with his response.

"Christmas tree-"

"What\'s a Christmas tree?" Arion cut in, feeling that he had used a form of the derogatory word on him.

He knew no tree of such in all of Arkai, so the word since it\'s coming from Nix would have a deeper meaning to it.

\'Damnit with this world and their weird terminologies!\' Nix spat in disdain as his smile dwindled.

"Your brain must be clogged up with all of that gas, and I for one would not explain it to you." Nix countered with a smirk.

Before Arion could make a comeback, Nix continued. "If I were you, I\'d be more concerned about escaping as I have a feeling your limbs would be the ones leaving this room."

Arion flinched for a second at the threat, he gathered up his strength and courage and proceeded to continue, thinking it was best to try his luck.

"Being a fire rank is useless without training and no lackey to be at your every whim." Arion mocked.

Nix let out a subtle laugh at how that reminded him of the words Obsidian had told him on their arrival at the organization.

Obsidian\'s brows twitched as a reminder of how he had acted previously. \'Is this how I sounded to the rest?\'

Solis grimaced at the memory and knew Obsidian\'s thoughts on the issue were anything but pleasant.

"Would you cut it out with the egoistic laughter, you\'re surrounded and there\'s nothing you can do about this!" Arion barked in irritation.

Nix shook his head, he was sure that Arion was unaware of his presence at the time just like the majority, but his secret would be the downfall of Arion.

"You seem to be unaware of what I can do." Nix\'s body was outlined by his blue aura.

[Gift: Fire in effect]

[Conflagration]

Slowly an aura of blue flames surrounded him and increased its proximity gradually.

Arion\'s eyes widened in shock to the concise ability displayed by Nix, this wasn\'t like anything he had ever shown nor did he make it seem like he could apart from a few tricks while in the academy.

"Do you know the difference between both of us?" Nix threatened to get closer with a step.

Arion took a step back in horror, this wasn\'t what he planned, and from what he calculated this was more dangerous for him than he had realized.

Any close contact with their abilities would be detrimental to him only.

Deactivating his forbidden ability, he took steps back, wary of Nix\'s proximity.

Nix tilted his head and had a twisted smirk at the scared demeanor of Arion. "Surely I\'m a user that needs lackeys right?"

Obsidian held his breath as he realized how wrong his words were at the onset. He sweatdropped at the possibility of being handed his tail if he had overstepped his bounds then.

\'You\'re a goner! At least I learned from my mistake before I got in a similar situation as you do.\'

Solis enjoyed the show, deliberately looking over in Obsidian\'s direction, wanting to guess how he would feel with the conversation reminding him of how he was and how wrong he was.

Seeing that Arion had no zeal in fighting with his ability, Nix immediately deactivated his and let out a sigh of disappointment.

Pushing back his hair, he clicked his tongue and stood still. "You bore me to death, I was expecting some sort of struggle between the two of us!"

Arion couldn\'t understand why he would wish to fight with him, Nix had no reason unlike he did– he had connections with Lumina and had made Mr. Zhao throw him out of his room while they had begun getting used to his new place in the organization.

"You\'re a sly monster." Arion spat and sneered at Nix.

Nix gave a light chuckle, "says the one who had offered his body for modifications and a chance to taste his superior."

Those words felt like a slap to Arion\'s face and a flash of panic crossed his face, wondering how he had known something related to such actions.

\'How could he know of Miss Sesa and me?\'

"Don\'t worry, I won\'t tell another soul while you\'re still alive. That alluring body would be the last you ever touch." Nix snickered and winked at Arion.

Arion cringed at the gesture and quickly got back his bearings. His words couldn\'t be trusted nor how he had gotten to know about that secret part of him.

Without thinking, he lurched forward with his fist, "let\'s see how well you go against me without using your ability!"
