Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Playing the Older Sister Chapter 188: Playing the Older Sister Lucivar writhed in pain as he slowly climbed back to his feet.

He did tell Leandra to pretend to save Axel when he was about to land the finishing blow but she took that opportunity to hit Lucivar very hard.

She put her heart and soul into that strike, Lucivar could feel her emotions through that attack.

It was so bad that he still felt his back throbbing from the crash.

‘Haah… She must’ve had a grudge against me but I’ll let her off the hook this time’ He sighed.

Once that was done, Lucivar headed back to the main gate.

Since he has made a ruckus at the main entrance, Kalvins and also several guards would certainly come to check.

He needed to leave before they arrived.

However, as he fast-walked, he came to a sudden stop beside a motorcycle.

It was Axel’s motorcycle.

Glancing at it, his eyebrows were lifted as a brilliant thought came to mind.

“Hmm… What do you think?” Lucivar mumbled before a smile crept to his face.

“Might as well try…” Meanwhile, Leandra supported Axel inside.

Once they were deep enough inside the academy grounds, a good distance away-from the main gate, she helped Axel down on a bench, “Are you okay?

Why are you outside and who even dared to attack a student right in front of the academy?” “I don’t know…” Axel mumbled, coughing blood a couple of times.

Even though he only received a couple of hits, the damage was outstandingly high on his body.

He glanced at Leandra weakly as a frown crept to his face.

“What happened to the guards?” He whispered.

“And how is an academy hunter near the main gate?” “I saw them knocked out, we must be under attack,” Leandra assured, glancing back-at the main gate where the two guards were still lying unconscious there.

“I was one of the chosen academy hunters to bolster the academy’s guards and I came across you.

Fortunately, I saw you-or else you would be in a much worse situation” Once Axel had rested enough, she helped him up, “Come on.

Let’s report this and have you treated” On the other side of the academy grounds, right beside the admission office.

Clara stepped into the guard compound, preparing to lash out at them for not being ready when the academy’s reputation was at risk due to the scandal regarding Professor Fury who tried to kill someone within the academy.

But as she barged inside, her rushed steps halted.

She scanned the room in shock when she found the guards were all sleeping soundly.

Anger bubbled inside, “I can’t believe this…” Rushing to the nearest guard-who had his head against the table, Clara kicked his shin hard enough to even break it, “Wake up!

All of you wake up!!

How can the guards of the academy be sleeping-when you’re on night shift!” Her voice echoed but not even the guard she kicked but the others stayed unmoving.

Frowning, Clara tilted her head back to the guard beside her and nudged him with her hand.

No response.

Since the academy guards have three shifts to make sure that the patrolling guards are always ready and alert, this shouldn’t be happening.

Additionally, no matter how sleepy these guards were, at least one of them should wake up from her scream but none of them did.

Realizing that something was wrong, Clara lifted the guard’s head to check.

And as expected, something was going on.

He wasn’t dead or anything.

From the looks of it, he seemed to pass out-his body was completely weak.

Clara checked the guard for any kind of wounds that might’ve caused this-or perhaps any spell that might taken over him but there was nothing.

She moved her focus onto the other guards around, checking them one by one, and still found nothing.

No wounds, no traces of ether-nothing.

Just as she was about to give up and report this to Victor and the principal, a thought came to mind.

She looked back at the guard but this time, her eyes glowed.

It was only then did she realized that the guard’s blood was drained to the point of almost dying, they were all knocked out because of anemia.

Someone has sucked their blood-and knocked them out for some unknown reason.

“Must be a Hybrid with a high-grade bloodline,” Clara mumbled, her brows dipped down further-the more she thought about the situation.

“For that Hybrid to not leave a single trace of ether meant that their control over ether was very high.

It requires a very delicate and precise process, one that a Vampire Hybrid was known for.

Since they infiltrated the academy-without anyone noticing, whoever it was must be a powerhouse” “High Chrysalis or perhaps Savant or even Paragon” She mumbled, a sweat trickling down her face.

No matter who it was, she wasn’t a match.

Meanwhile, inside the female student dorm.

Elira crossed the lobby-her usual charm and confidence were nowhere to be seen and now, for some reason, she was slouching slightly.

She seemed to be melancholy, saddened by something that struck her recently.

With rushed steps along the carpet floor, she went into the lift and hesitated on which floor to choose.

As the door closed, she eventually pressed the fourth-floor button.

Her room wasn’t on the fourth floor, it was on the second floor so she must have a place in mind.

Soon, she arrived in front of a room and knocked on the door slightly.

She waited for a second but got no answer.

Frowning slightly, she tried knocking on the door again but it ended up the same.

Elira’s heart pounded as she quickly twisted the door handle and found that it was open.

Panic settled in as she barged inside the room.

However, once she reached inside, her heavy breaths gradually returned to normal-as she saw Thalia was sleeping soundly.

It seemed she forgot to lock the door, too tired as today was the practical test for them and was quite tiring.

Sighing lightly, Elira went to close the door before going back and lying down beside Thalia.

“I can’t be selfish and have fun when she’s not happy and even worried,” Elira mumbled inwardly as she reached out her hand and brushed Thalia’s blonde hair gently.

“I made the right choice… I certainly did.

It’s the right choice to cancel Saturday.

As her older sister, I should always share the burden-and protect her, not take a day for myself selfishly…” Smiling acutely, she leaned back and closed her eyes-deciding to sleep beside Thalia for the night.

Next morning.

Even before the sun was out to shine the world properly, Lucivar, Sabrina, and Leandra already met up in front of Leandra’s room.

It was the only time they were free but there was also something they needed to see or rather, something Lucivar needed to see.

Leandra rubbed her sleepy eyes, “It’s still too early, what do you want?” “You asked me last night why I did what I did so come, I’ll show you the answer,” Lucivar replied.

Upon hearing this, Leandra blinked her eyes and instantly rushed in to change.

She washed her face and changed into her uniform before coming out again.

“Show me then,” She said, gesturing for Lucivar to lead.

Lucivar nodded his head as he led the group outside of the Bastion of Blades.

As the three of them were walking along the corridor, a figure came out of her room-It was Ravenna.

She looked over to their backs before her expression ashen, twisting into an unpleasant look.

Moments later.

Lucivar and the others arrived at their destination.

All three of them were standing on the side of the street, looking ahead at a medium-sized building.

Upon seeing this building, Leandra frowned as this was the academy’s hospital.

Last night, she brought Axel to the hospital-so that the best healer in the whole academy could treat him.

She turned her head towards Lucivar-and asked, “What are we doing here?

Are we here to check up on Axel?” “No… We’re not,” Lucivar answered nonchalantly.

As Leandra was about to ask again, she saw a group of people coming out of the hospital.

All of them were students and among them was Axel.

It seemed that a group of guys were his friends who came to check on him.

Since most of his wounds weren’t life-threatening and didn’t contain any malicious ether, treating him wasn’t that hard and now he could go back to the dorm.

Leandra squinted her eyes-she was still very much confused as to why they were there.

She watched as the group of guys teased each other and headed back until finally, she saw someone.

Behind the group was none other than Elira.

Most of the guys were teasing Elira and Axel-as her coming to check on Axel made it obvious that they were close or perhaps even dating.

It was basically them making their relationship public, and as Elira was one of the primadonna of the first year or arguably the entire academy, this was a big deal.

None of them expected Axel to be with someone like her.

“Let’s walk,” Lucivar said and walked ahead, trying to make their movements natural.

After all, Kalvins were stealing a glance at them and there were CCTVs around here.

“I wanted to make sure Elira and Axel keep their plan on going out on Saturday,” Lucivar said.

Upon hearing this, Leandra sucked in a cold breath.

“So that’s why you pretended to be someone from the Crimson Wolf Clan with that ability of yours and attacked Axel…” She mumbled as the realization settled in her mind.

“Elira and Axel fight, you assumed their plan was canceled.

But since Axel was attacked like this, by someone from the Crimson Wolf Clan nonetheless-Elira would feel bad and has no choice but to go with him on Saturday” “But why…?” She glanced at him in confusion.

“What’s on Saturday?” “I don’t know,” Lucivar shrugged nonchalantly.

“But I do know from how Axel was sitting stressed in the parking lot that he needed to make Saturday with Elira happen.

I have my suspicion on him-and my guts are telling me that something interesting is going to happen on Saturday” Leandra was silent, contemplating about what Lucivar said.

She still didn’t know why Lucivar was interested in the twins but this was a start.

Meanwhile, Lucivar smiled inwardly as he glanced at Axel and Elira.

‘Though I said that, I’m very sure Axel was sent to approach Elira.

I don’t know by who but I’m pretty sure I would know his employer on Saturday,’ Lucivar thought, his heart pounding with anticipation.

‘Don’t disappoint me, Axel.

I know you’re not one of the good ones-I can tell.

Don’t be lame enough to really be in love with Elira.

Give me something to work with here, don’t waste my time’ Just then, Leandra asked again, “Do you think this will be enough to push her?” “We’ll see…” Lucivar mumbled with confidence.
