Chapter 100

“Director Goodsky?” I sputtered incredulously

<hr>

“Y-yes Although, ‘director’ doesn’t see as hoas stripped of that title Who would’ve iined I’d meet you in here, Arthur,” she replied weakly, and by the audible pant in her speech, it seemed as if she had suffered considerably

“Stripped of your title? I don’t understand What is going on here? Why are you here, Director?” I leaned against the e in hopes to hear her more clearly Froonally opposite hts were set up, et to that later Arthur, how did you end up being locked up? With your ability, I assuh for yourself or at least escape if necessary” There was a hint of despair in Cynthia’s voice as she asked me

“Tessia was held captive by Lucas and I had to use ht hih strength to escape,” I sighed

“II apologize, I don’t quite follow The half-elf boy, Lucas?”

It was obvious that Director Goodsky wasn’t aware at all of the recent happenings at her own acade since she would’ve surely been there to help if she had known I filled her in as detailed as I could in the quiet of the dungeon, only being able to assume that her silence was indication that she was fervently listening

It was hard to tell whether the other cells had prisoners inside as well, but the inforht Goodsky up until the events of what had just happened with the Council

“Can you describe for ht against him?” Goodsky asked

“Apart from the massive increase in his mana manipulation capabilities, I noticed that his physical appearance was different as well Let’s see, he had this sickly, gray skin tone as well as dark lines, which I assu down his face, neck and ared too; it wasn’t blond like I remembered it to be, but it was more of a dusty black and white color The Wykes family had always been known to have a keen fondness of elixirs, no matter what the side effects may have been—”

“No elixir on this continent has the capabilities to enhance the user’s mana core that drastically Arthur And, you weren’t able to catch a glimpse of what the leader of this whole disaster looked like?” Director Goodsky interrupted, her voice edged with frustration

“Unfortunately, I didn’t arrive in time to see him Why?”

“I just wanted to confirs, but I think I already have a basic understanding of the whole situation I kneas bound to happen, but not this soon They’reforith the plan much too quickly” I could hear the director’s footsteps echoing as she paced insider her cell

“What do you mean you kneas bound to happen? Who are ‘they’? Director Goodsky, I’ suspicion that I truly hope I could denounce as siement”

There was a brief pause fro snaps of the torches’ flaeon

“I cannot say, Arthur I a either one of us can hope to go against I a? Huh, I see How convenient And is there a way to re more sardonic than I had meant to

“I have searched for decades on this matter, and all were futile,” Director Goodsky let out a deep breath, ignoring my tone

“Then the reason you are locked up here is because…”

“From what you have told me and based on what I already know, it seeoat that the Council wishes to utilize as a convenient excuse for all that has happened recently”

“Why would the Council need a scapegoat?”

“I cannot say the reason for this as well,” she replied There was clear frustration in her tone, but not directed at me, but rather at herself “Arthur, it is painful for ht ofwhat I know to soet so out a sigh, I stepped away froid, stone wall ofic here
