Moby stood up out of his seat, wearing his school bag as he casually followed behind Abby, them not talking a single word as the atmosphere became tense yet rather casual and familiar at the same time as they walked out of the class and into the busy hallway that seemed far calmer and tamer than usual, most likely as a result of the new rules and extra security all over the place. Bullying and abusing students with such high security right after a mass-murdering did not seem like a good idea for anyone.

There was once again a mixture of different stares coming in his direction, contempt, envy, fear, and a hint of admiration which really surprised and elevated his mood seeing that his earlier plans of acting nicely in the school were somewhat working, all the different stares of course coming from entirely different groups of people of various strength and status.

As long as nobody followed them or attempted to interrupt them, there was no reason for them to worry about the usual stares as they simply continued walking casually and confidently through the hallway, trying their best to keep a low profile despite how hard it was knowing they were very revered and well known around the school.

During his search for Ray the other day, Moby had almost memorized the entire school's layout, despite the fact that it was huge beyond his previous imagination, at least 10 times bigger than his previous high school, maybe even more.

So, from the direction Abby was headed, he knew that she was going to one of the back exits, one that was allowed for students to use yet not very used by anyone other than the crack heads and druggies which Moby found rather smart since he knew they would no doubt not be there anymore since there were now no doubt cameras all around that area.

'Avilia, do you sense any mind-related magic coming from her?' Moby asked, still walking through the crowded hallways.

'In my current state as a simple voice in your head, it's very hard for me to tell… But if I focus hard enough I can sense something odd coming from her. I would say mind magic is a very safe bet,' She confidently responded, making Moby inwardly nod back.

Currently, since there was nothing to do, he decided to use his free time to do something that he knew he needed to do as soon as possible, try and find as much information about Abby from every resource he knew.

'Inspect!'

Moby's eyes grew wide, unable to hide his shock under his poker face for a split second before calming himself down as to not break his expression completely.

'Q-Question marks…. Why does her name have a question mark? Is that even Abby?'

Moby had only seen such a thing when inspecting people way out of his league in strength such as most of the teachers and Jayden's father along with people that had some sort of concealing item like Natalia with her golden ring. However, he knew for a fact that Abby was none of those, unless she somehow received a massive power boost bringing her to such strength overnight which he thought was completely impossible.

Suddenly when his mind was still in turmoil, Abby turned her head to face him with a wide smile and a simple chuckle that seemed cute or almost flirtatious to anyone looking at them from the outside, yet it was hard for Moby to ignore the obvious mockery, almost like she had known what he wanted to do, the "cute" smirk on her face still there despite seeing Moby's seemingly natural and indifferent expression.

'Don't worry, that was to be expected considering that she is now outside of your control. The inspect skill is actually mind-related, it doesn't work on anyone whose power level is way out of your reach and people with a high amount of mental fortitude and resistances such as, of course, a demon. Seeing how low your mind-stat is, no wonder your skill was detected and immediately blocked. Her name has question marks beside it was most likely to screw with you and make you go crazy, she probably did that herself I am assuming,' Avilia explained, calming Moby's mind again, once more regretting not putting more stats in mind as it was completely new to him that his inspect skill and his mind stat were related.

'Avilia… Sometimes I wonder what I would ever do without you…' Moby responded feeling great relief.

The atmosphere went silent, Avilia not responding back like something odd had happened to her.

'You just gave me a genius idea…' She spoke in a joyous yet cynical tone that made Moby worry about what she had planned for him before she continued her words in a normal voice.

'Oh! And no problem! I'm always glad to help!'

Inwardly shaking his head to remove any currently unneeded thoughts about Avilia's words, he continued following behind Abby until they reached a long staircase down, closing the hallway doors behind them, Moby using his energy sense skill to ensure that no one was following them despite him always keeping a close eye to such a thing.

As they continued walking down the stairs, the usual smell of drugs was not there, Moby noticing all the cameras in the area.

They walked out of the back door, a small beep being heard as they opened the door almost like they were being scanned. They now were walking in a secluded area behind the school, the sun shining on both of their faces as they continued walking to one of the various alleyways and dark areas of the massive building.

Usually, Moby would not be dumb enough to fall for such an obvious trap or ambush. However, from professor Leo's explanation in class, he understood that even such areas had various cameras embedded in them to cover every possible angle, and he doubted that Emilia would be dumb enough to ambush him in the face of such cameras that he was certain she was not able to manipulate since the general seemed to be on top of everything going on.

"We're finally here," Abby spoke, now standing in front of a dark, alleyway-like area, the small red glows of the cameras the only thing to be seen. The entire hallway of course fully able to be seen by Moby and his night vision, as he managed to spot the figure of a smirking woman, her resemblance to Abby almost uncanny, a few inches taller than her with arguably less to offer in the looks department in his opinion, instinctively using his inspect skill as soon as he noticed her.

And, just like he expected, he received absolutely nothing of use, this time not sure if she was simply too strong or if she also had some sort of mind resistance item by preparing herself with the knowledge she extracted from Abby.

With a confident walk full of superiority, she walked from the darkness and into the light, her

arms crossed as she spoke.

"So! You are supposed to be the new king of demons? It's great to finally meet you… Moby Kane..."

"Cut the crap and get to the point, I am in no mood for chatter," Moby immediately retorted, not at all surprised that she knew his identity, his purple, demonic air of dominance overpowering and almost overbearing, spreading throughout the entire area, making Emilia smile wider out of excitement, releasing her own fiery aura that equalled or even overpowered that of Moby that struggled to keep up with all his might, a smirk on his face from all the blood and adrenaline pumping through his veins, Abby standing back in stupor staring at the two titans.

"Haha! That was great! I haven't felt so alive in many, many years! That was unlike anything I've ever felt in my life! Almost like my lord! No wonder he was so adamant about finding you! You indeed have great potential," Emilia laughed as both of their auras disappeared, her expression changing so drastically that it caught Moby off guard.

"Hmmm? Almost like your lord? Who is this master of yours? Explain yourself..."

Unlike his opponent, Moby kept his calm and composure, not making any effort to lower his voice since from how loud Emilia was, he was more than certain that the cameras in the area only served to pick up video and no sound.

"Oh? Well you will find out soon enough… I have an offer for you… Why don't you just give up now and save your friends all the pain and agony of what is about to come? Why don't you just surrender and come with me to see him for yourself?" She asked with a smile on her face, circling all around him.

"I of course refuse, who the hell do you think I am?"

"Ha! So be it! All that you are doing is delaying the inevitable!"

The amusement in her voice increased even more, like she was excited for what was to come.

"I had a feeling that you would decline so I had a backup plan… Your main goal is to retrieve Abby correct? To annihilate me for what I had done to her… Correct? So… I will give you the chance to do everything that you wanted to do and more…" Her voice became calmer and more ominous than before, making Moby smile and respond, his arms still crossed.

"I'm listening…"

"I have a portable teleporter that can transport us to a completely different planet where we can all fight it out since we clearly can't do it in here. All we need is an area of the school that is not covered by any camera which I am confident to find… The steaks are obvious so I won't go into details about that…"

Emilia's offer was exactly like he had expected, she must have known about the lockdown and brought such an expensive teleporter inside Abby's inventory just for this moment for her to be able to capture him on a different planet. But now, all he needed to do was inform the Griffith or Hart families about what would happen and it would be a 100% victory for them, even if her master did arrive, he was sure that the power the Griffith, and the Hart families along with the military should be more than able to suppress them.

Yet, before Moby even had the chance to speak, he was immediately cut off by Emilia and her words that were still full of confidence and amusement.

"Well, first off, after we discuss the details of the agreement, I'll need you to sign this…" She spoke, unzipping her bag and pulling out a very peculiar piece of paper with very odd pulsating purple and golden words written on what seemed like yellow, old parchment paper that had an ominous yellow glow surrounding it.

Moby's eyes grew wide staring at such a thing, unable to fully hide his surprise under his poker face… For some reason, Moby felt something extremely odd and ominous about the piece of paper… a familiar yet unfamiliar aura surrounding it, unlike anything he had ever felt before as he was lost for words.

Despite his efforts to calm himself down, he was unable to shake the obscure feeling filling his senses. So, just like he usually did in situations beyond his understanding, he turned to Avilia for answers, having a feeling that she might know what he was witnessing in front of him. Yet, beyond his wildest dreams, he did not imagine what he was about to witness, using every ounce of his being to keep his confident poker face in check and not become like that of a pale ghost…

Avilia seemed to be bewildered even more than he was… If she had a body, he was certain that she would have been sweating buckets, her eyes wide open in shock like she could not believe her eyes, a sight he never imagined Avilia to ever be in after she just scoffed and laughed off powerhouses such as Mason Griffith like they were nothing…

The last time he ever saw her like this was when he had received an angel blessing or when she found out that he was part dragon, maybe even more so now than then…

"H-How did she get that? That is… THAT IS..."
