Fortunately, his shield had held out until the time it was over. Zavier looked towards the trio as soon as the attack was over but found that the three were nowhere to be found.
Zavier jerked his head backwards and looked towards the place in the distance where Dahila still lay helplessly. Thankfully she was still safe and the three were nowhere close enough to be caught by his Time Space eye so he felt at ease and calmed down his increasing desire to fight it out with them.
Zavier shook his head in disappointment at not being able to get his hands on their cards but then thought that he still had a chance until the end of the competition. Now that many of the participants had already been eliminated, Zavier was sure that he would run into the three of them soon.
As obvious from the last time, the three seemed to be fated with him as they came across him from time to time without him even trying to look for them.
Zavier turned around and started walking towards Dahila with slow but firm steps. He didn't want to startle her as he was still wearing the mask and didn't want her to think that he was another bastard who wanted to take advantage of her.
Dahila had opened her eyes and was sprawled on the ground with her eyes towards the sky as if nothing else mattered.
As soon as she heard movement near her, she slightly turned her head towards the masked man and took a good look at him. She didn't seem to be afraid that the masked man was coming towards her; after all, she had seen similar masked men before. They were the same people who had come to help out Zavier in the past.
Dahila's panties had previously been torn open by Ibeniah so she was currently going commando and her private parts were on complete display to anyone who wanted to see her.
She didn't even have enough strength to speak loudly let alone move her body to get into a decent position.
Still her eyes didn't reveal the slightest nervousness or the slightest feeling that she was concerned about her dignity being put on display in front of a masked man who despite being her saviour was a complete stranger to her.
"Did Zavier ask you to help me?"
The masked man didn't answer at first but then acted as if he didn't know anything.
"What do you mean by that?"
Dahila tsked out loud and let out a frustrated sigh.
"It's no use trying to hide it. I saw people from the same organization as you when they came to help Zavier the last time. They were dressed the similarly so I am sure you are a part of the same group. Tell me did Zavier send you to me?"
Zavier didn't answer the question despite knowing that she had already figured out some things. It wouldn't be long before she would come to find Zavier for answers regarding the clones that always came to his help. He figured that he would deal with that when the time came. For now he needed to get out of here so that his real body could come here with the rest of the group to help her out.
"HEY...I understand if you don't want to answer my question. Seeing as to how sneakily you are acting, I am assuming that you don't want others to find out about you."
Zavier turned around and looked at her sharply thinking that she was trying to coerce him into answering her.
"Don't misunderstand me. I am telling you that I will keep your secret. I just want to know whether I can join the organization that you belong to. From what I have seen, you all seem to be exceptionally powerful and even Zavier belongs to your lot. I want to know how I can become one of you."
Zavier smiled on the inside and somewhat understood where she was coming from. She had seen how the clones had sacrificed their lives to save Zavier in order to give him a fighting chance against Kyouko and the monsters. If it had been Zavier in her place, even he would have been tempted to join the organization where every member was that powerful and that loyal.
Even though Zavier had been trying to keep his clones from being grouped up together by others, somehow the disguise that he had designed for them had become the very thing that brought them recognition in the eyes of the others.
Zavier couldn't fault Dahila or his clones for this mess. It was something that he himself had created.
"I have received your request. Let us ponder on it a while as we ascertain your intentions and desires for wanting to join us. Be patient for a while and do not bring this up in front of others."
The masked man didn't even look back before breaking into a run that was fast enough to put even the fastest mana beasts to shame. Dahila watched him vanish from her eyes and hope reignited in her heart as she began to wait for the answer from the organization.
At the same time as Zavier escaped away from Dahila's vision, he immediately shared his senses with his other clones to check the status of the original body that was currently accompanying Shiranui and Andrew,
As soon as he ensured that they were still safe and sound, Zavier entrusted his original body to move in the direction of Dahila so that she would not remain unprotected for long.
He wanted to gather all his schoolmates into a single team. Up till now, Zavier had found no clue regarding the whereabouts of Kacie while he had managed to locate the others.
His clones had been huge help in discovering his allies. Both Nadia and Shiranui had been located by them. Now that he had found Dahila, he wanted them to act together with his clone while he went on the lookout for Kacie.
As soon as he was finished giving out instructions to all the clones, Zavier received a signal from one of the clones who he had sent out to look for Kacie in the meantime.
It looked like the clone had picked up a trail on Kacie somehow.
It wasn't long before the clone that was acting as the original led the girls and Andrew to the place where Dahila had been. In this way all the four girls had been gathered together. All that was left was for the real Zavier to bring back Kacie with him for them to have a happy reunion together.
Zavier who had just saved Dahila ran off to join up with the clone that had managed to locate Kacie. At the same time he ordered the other clone that was working towards the same goal to join up with him.
In such a way the trio of masked individuals set out together to look for Kacie while another clone continued to pretend to be the original him and managed to lead the girls forward till the original Zavier returned.
Since Zavier had already faced off against the trio of evildoers who appeared to be quite strong among the participants; at least near the top of the pyramid, Zavier became sure that he was capable of handling any kind of situation by himself.
After all, the level of the strength of his opponents seemed to be very low compared to him. On top of that when he acted in tandem with the other two clones, Zavier was in an almost untouchable state where he wouldn't be worried about facing off against any participant or any number of them for that matter.
Seeing as he was in absolute power, Zavier decided to get rid of all the opponents he found during the competition to make it easier for his teammates in the next round. Although he was powerful, not everyone in his team was like that. Both Shiranui and Dahila who were strong as well had lost to the trio either because their powers were incompatible with the enemy or they were tired out by the enemy that was more in number.
Zavier wanted to eliminate all those who posed a threat to them early on.
Zavier was going to be killing of three birds with a single stone by doing that. First of all he would be able to eliminate enemies in the current test who could cause trouble for his group while he was away.
