Chapter 6 (Part 1)
⚠️Spoilers under the cut ⚠️
This post includes everything that happened in the first part of the Ignihyde Chapter. Boy did things escalate, and they escalated FAST.
Yuu is shown to have a dream about a scene from Disney’s animated “Hercules”. In the dream, Hades said something along the lines of his job being boring, but Zeus laughed instead.
We then wake up to Ace’s voice, and saw our two buddies by our bedside looking worried (Apparently we called them before passing out).
The two decided to call Crowley over, and we explained everything we had to know including Mickey and Grim consuming suspicious substances.
Crowley said that he will assemble the teachers and dorm leaders to catch Grim and have him expelled, however, Ace and Deuce did not like that idea.
Ace asked us if that is truly what we want. We reply that we would like to settle things with Grim on our own. Thus, the three went to search for Grim.
Grim, however, has already been found and pacified by Ortho, much to Idia’s relief. (Idia stated that it would be a shame if they lost the fluffball hahaha).
The next morning, Vil gathered the VDC members and apologized. He stated that it was because of his overblot that he wasn’t able to give it his all during the performance.
Deuce and Epel were about to say that they worked hard and deserved the win, but Vil objected, stating that they had no idea about the effort that Neige himself has put. Neige has grown up by himself with the dwarves and did the house chores, a smile on his face despite being exhausted.
Despite their loss, however, Vil still gave them the 5 million madols for their hard work. Kalim wanted to use the money to help renovate ramshackle, and everyone else agreed, except Deuce, who wanted to use the money to help his mom, and Ace who said that he wanted to use the prize money for himself. (Apparently the 4sshole didn’t have obligations to help us 😅).
Just then, a group of robots storm troopered the place, broke ramshackle (again), and fought the kids. Jamil instinctively protected Kalim, and so did Rook with Vil, but despite their efforts, the robots still manage to take Vil and Jamil into their custody.
The first years tried to fight them, but they were all beaten quite badly by the robots and passed out (how dare they hurt the children😡).
Before passing out, though, Ace made an attempt to call Riddle, saw that his dorm leader did not pick up, Kalim and Rook decided that this was a bad situation and that they had to call Malleus.
Riddle, of course, has also been taken. He got jumped in the middle of club activities and threw a fit, leaving the robots no choice but to tase him. Sebek and Silver looked at the swarm of bots in the sky and concluded that the robots were mainly targeting dorm leaders. They then rushed back to protect Malleus.
Leona was captured in the botanical garden. He protected Ruggie and surrendered himself to them, aware that they were part of a serious organization. He told Ruggie to take care of Savanaclaw in his place before leaving.
Azul was in the board game club with Idia when the robots came in. Idia told Azul to follow them without resisting, or he would get hurt in the process. After taking Azul, one of the robots told Idia that he was to return to the headquarters. Crowley was taken as well, leaving the school in Trein sensei’s care.
Back in Diasomnia, Sebek and Silver were relieved to see that their young lord was safe. Lilia received a phone call from a worried Kalim, and both he and Malleus teleported to the headmaster’s office, where a bunch of other worried students were. Trey said that Ace and Deuce are in the infirmary (they’ll be fine don’t worry).
Trein sensei explained that the robots were called Charons, part of the STYX organization that studied magical technology and overblots. They are a branch of a company named “Jupiter” and are not affiliated with any government.
The Charons pick up mages who overblotted and brought them to the Isle of Lamentation for research. Malleus added that the guard of the isle of lamentation was someone that everyone in the room knew.
Meanwhile, the kidnapped people woke up in a dark room. Leona let Riddle use his thighs as a cushion for 3 hours lol. They realized that Idia’s family is LOADED. As in either as rich or richer than Kalim. Thus, they were able to have their own island for research. Riddle was surprised. He thought that Idia just had a similar surname to the Shroud family but didn’t expect him to be THAT Shroud.
One the door opened, they were lead into a research facility where they saw Idia, not as a student of NRC, but as a acting chief commander of the place.
The end for now.
