Chapter 59: A Deep Staircase

Principal\'s POV:

Inside a room full of ancient magical books and scrolls, a man with a short beard was reading a book with full concentration. In front of him, a round globe was playing all the surveillance orb images around the school. Especially the music section of the library.

He leaned to his chair and flipped the page of the book to figure out what the book was trying to say. But he was out of clues. There was simply nothing that can help him to figure out the meaning of the words.

"My master is really a hard nut to crack. No matter how much I read his books. I can\'t even understand a single word of this. It feels like every time I open this book, the words, lines, colours, even the style of the writing changes."

He put the book back in his drawer and suddenly, his eyes noticed a boy inside the library opening a mysterious door and going inside of it.

"What!!"

He immediately teleported there but the door already vanished. There was nothing but his magical traces sticking all around the wall and the floor. They were the only evidence that someone went inside there.

"Just how did he open that door?"

I saw Viktor with him a few days ago, but he was looking for a music book and he also participated in the music classes every day. He\'s not a suspect, but he is somehow related to him.

This is a serious matter! I need to call the Shadow Knights.

"Lui."

"Yes, master."

A shadow-like object formed in front of him when he called out his name.

"Go to Viktor\'s house and bring him right here right now. We can just erase his memory after we finish talking."

"Yes."

Suddenly, a magic circle appeared in front of him and two people came out of there. "What do you want to talk about, principal?" The principal was so stunned that he nearly got a heart attack.

"You just broke a serious rule of this academy. Do you know you can even get expelled for this?"

"Well, it was you who called for me anyway. What\'s the problem?"

"Master, I smell a demon from the fourth floor." Adonis speaked.

The principal was a 9th-circle magician who lived for a thousand years, but his aura wasn\'t affecting anyone. Both Viktor and Adonis were standing still under that enormous pressure.

"Viktor, I know that you are hiding your power from everyone. A 9th circle magician can feel another 9th circle magician. But why can\'t I feel yours?"

Viktor smiled at him and said," Maybe I am higher than that. Anyway, we are wasting time here. Let\'s go."

He started to climb the stairs but the principal became frozen when he tried to attack Adonis with his aura pressure. Viktor stopped on the 7th stair and said," Adonis, my back is itching for your aura. Mind if you stop attacking our principle? He is an old man."

"I apologise for disturbing you master."

What a dangerous aura!! Just who is he?? And how\'s Viktor moving under this pressure? I feel like I\'m under the deepest point of the sea. My ears were about to bust. if Viktor didn\'t tell him to stop, I\'d lose my hearing sense. What kind of a monster are they!!

"What are you waiting for? Aren\'t you going to come up, principle?" Viktor asked.

"Oh, yes."

I will just follow them for now and then I will have a nice conversation with him.

Viktor was reading the principal\'s record because Alexis fell asleep inside the basement. And then he saw that the principal came in front of the door right after it vanished. So, he decided to visit the school and have a good conversation with him to make a good relationship.

"So, that punk went inside with the crest. I wonder what kind of guardian fragment it is!"

The principal came inside the section and said, "How do you know about the guardians?"

"How? Because a damn guardian left for a century-long vacation after giving me all the burden on my shoulder. I can\'t even rest in peace for that shit."

"A damn guardian? How dare you address a guardian like that!"

"Oh, so you don\'t know… Anyway, it\'s not my job to fix it. Let\'s go inside. Weren\'t you curious about the underground entrance?"

Viktor touched a book on the shelf and a huge door appeared on the wall. The hallway stretches deep down the dark underground. The stairs were made of stones and it was full of spider webs.

"It\'s time for you to shine, Adonis. Turn on the light bulb."

"Ahem! Master. Why do you think of me as a light bulb? I can cast light magic but I can\'t glow like one."

"What are you guys talking about?" The principal asked.

"Nothing, let\'s keep going. We have a long way to go down there." Adonis replied after he cast tiny floating light balls all around the staircase.

The principal looked back and saw the face of Adonis. He was so shocked that he stopped walking. "My dear heavens, your name is Adonis, right? Will you be my son-in-law, boy? Or grandson-in-law?"

"I am more than one thousand years old, kid. Don\'t call me a boy. Look ahead. Don\'t lose your grip on the stairs. It\'s slippery."

"Oh!"

"Adonis, looks like the stair stretches more than two or three kilometres down. Let\'s jump."

"Yes master."

The staircase was a spiral staircase, so it was easy to jump in the middle and reach the ground in a minute.

Viktor stood up on the railing and jumped. Adonis followed him as well so the principal jumped in as well.

"Adonis, did you water my plants today?"

"Yes, master."

"I forgot to feed my fish today."

"I have to change the aquarium water because it seems to have a little problem. The fish isn\'t eating the food."

"Probably because of the iron pipes. I need to make an aluminium one."

"Aaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!" The principal screamed as he fell with them.

Viktor picked his ear and said,"Why are you screaming under my ears?"

"My magic isn\'t working!!! Why can\'t I cast magic!!! My mana is blocked!!!"

Adonis and Viktor looked at him with an annoyed expression as they were falling and chatting by putting their hands inside their pockets. "Stop being dramatic", Viktor replied…

"Why are you talking as if we are on a picnic? Aren\'t you scared? Can\'t you see we already reached the ground? We are going to die!!!!"

Viktor watched him scream for a minute by covering his ears. The moments before they touched the ground, Adonis cast a motion breaker magic and they landed safely.

"You can open your eyes, old man."

Huh? I am alive?

"Yes, you are old man. Let\'s go." Viktor said.

How did he know what I said inside my mind? Ugh! Forgot about that. Once these things are over, I\'m going to give him a hell of a punishment to make me scream like this.
