Dorian listened to their thoughts and had no reaction.
He didn't care since the gates connecting the underworld and this world were long sealed by the princes, who were doing their little wars down below.
From what Dorian gathered they won't be opening any time soon, but these Military personnel and police officers dared not risk it.
Even Elric decided to join the academy. Although he nearly lost Jenny, he also wanted her to join.
Why? Because it will be better for her to know some skills before D-Day comes than for her to be helpless when it happens.
No way!
He will never let that happen! Elric swore, clenching his fists.
Rudolf, Chris, Bianca, Emily and the others also decided to try out the exams too.
If possible, they wanted their siblings and parents in on it too.
They admit they are being selfish here. But if it gave their family a chance to survive then why not take it?
Seeing Dorians' choppers fly off, everyone stared upwards with rippling hearts.
"Remember.... no one must know what truly went down. At least not until the world is ready for such news." Wiggins advised, staring at the young live streamers who seemed to have grown up overnight.
"You'll all go home, pretend like it never happened and appear on the exam site if you choose to attend. Remember. Continue live streaming and live like the youth you are... as for the stories you'll make up about the incident, listen closely to what I'm about to say."
If the world knew the truth, even though the world wouldn't believe it, they didn't want the many enemies to know that they knew of their existence.
Like six the group headed back, passing through a location with the most media-hungry wolves around.
"Oh My Science God! Is that Goddess Bianca?!"
"What? They have been rescued? Good Guy! I never doubted our police and military forces for a second!"
[Police and Military forces]: (-_-)
Who was it that cursed at them every day?
"Pooh! It's not the world of our forces but that of international forces! Yes! It must be people from the Golden Country! I heard they sent the top best in their country to assist just yesterday!"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes. I think you're onto something "Goddess Bianca, a moment of your time please!"
"Great God Rudolf! Can you tell us how you got kidnapped and what your days there were like? What happened to your kidnappers? Are they dead?"
"Queen of Food, Emily! Over here please!"
"Goddess of Books, Jenny! Can you tell us what happened on the night your phone went static?"
"Deadly Handsome God Chris what about you? Have you eaten anything? Did the kidnappers feed you all poison? And our viewers would also like to know who truly recused you all. Was it our side or foreigners? Who were those in the choppers we saw fly away in the distance?"
"Chris!"
"Rudolf!"
"Bianca!"
"Emily!"
"Jenny!"
...
People yelled their names from all corners but were blocked and stopped by the police and military personnel who guided the group of teenagers into a massive military truck.
Fortunately, no one was dead. Or else the media would really eat them raw. These were the thoughts of the other soldiers and police officers who didn't see the real rescue.
No one died?
Heh.
Bianca and the others sat in the vehicle in silence, still recalling the deaths of Bassano and the others.
They have only been together for a short while but they did miss the bunch, even the crazy annoying princess.
"Guys... let's visit the Museum later."
"Yeah."
There were very old pictures of the legendary Bassano and even Merlin, who were working on scientific inventions.
Chris quickly lowered his head, quickly his tears away with a heavy heart. But he wasn't the only one crying.
Suddenly, the car was filled with sobs that started light but soon grew louder and louder with every passing moment.
The driver and 3 few guards who heard them, only thought they were crying from joy after being rescued.
No one knew they were mourning the loss of comrades.
Like that, the world once again regained its peaceful state, after news of the recused group emerged.
To the rest of the world, the story went as so...
On that fateful night, they were indeed kidnapped but kept in a hidden cave not too far away. They tried escaping but couldn't.
It seems because of their disappearance the kidnappers couldn't take them too far or out of the country.
Long story short, the country's forces, alongside another foreign force came in to save them.
The foreign forces didn't want to be mentioned so no one knows who they were. That was it.
Wiggins and his team worked hard to recreate evidence, wanting to close the case fast.
As for the kidnappers, they seemed to abandon them there when they knew all hope was lost.
From what the outside world knew, Wifhins arrived to find no kidnappers, only the tied-up children.
The kidnappers never revealed the faces. Even their voices were changed to be robotic thanks to the devices they had.
Everyone believed the story because all the rescued youths looked badly beaten, as though they had been through a real jungle movie.
There were scrapes on their bodies, deep wounds that looked infected, and even their clothes looked like it has undergone hell.
What everyone didn't know was that they did experience it all, but in that space.
They were all limping and their overall demeanor was silent, unlike their precious bubbly and loud personalities.
People don't just change like that unless they went through something unspeakable.
Though everyone was still looking for the kidnappers, the case was secretly marked as Closed.
The Live Streamers were back alive and they more than anyone knew there were no kidnappers in question... at least not human ones.
Back home, far, far away from the Live Streamer drama, the walls in Dorian's bedroom opened, and Pandrol appeared to welcome Dorian into the space.
"Welcome, Master."
"Prepare these materials for me."
"As you wish, master."
With that, he took off, leaving Dorian in His secret home within the space.
'Take it out!'
[Yes, host!]
In another second, the dark orb containing Lucifer Morning Star's blood appeared.
Watching its host touch the orb the system wanted to warn him but was shocked to get no reaction.
Okay. It would make sense that it, the system, wouldn't be affected since its master was behind it.
But its host was a mortal. And even if he was an exorcist, such a powerful orb should affect anyone be they exorcist or not. Unless they were more powerful than Lucifer.
Yet, the orb made no rippling effect when its host touched it.
This isn't normal.
The system was more and more convinced its host was not ordinary. But if not ordinary, what exactly was he?
Dorian tapped the orb and ran his fingers through the dark energy with a mysterious smile. "Interesting... How very interesting. It seems I can use this."
