Chapter 10 - SUSPECTS

Walking through the crowded sidewalks were Kealin, Max and Lena 

"What do you think happened to them?" Max asked ,although he didn't care about most things, but when it comes to saving a life he'd give his all.Lena shook her head and said 

"I don't know" 

Max then glanced at Kealin 

" What about you Kea-kun, you've been awfully quiet ever since you saw the poster" He said, but Kealin didn't respond 

" Kea, you okay?" Lena asked as she had also noticed Kealin's change in attitude 

"Could it be that he knows something about those 3..... but Kealin isn't the kind of person that would do such a thing" Lena's mind wavered as she thought of the possibility of Kealin being involved in such an act, could he really not be who he claimed to be 

Kealin snapped out of his daze and said 

"Oh, I'm fine, I was just lost in thoughts"

" Yeah we noticed "

It's not like Kealin knew anything about the missing girls, it's that he was currently discussing with Chronos the possibility of their disappearance being related to supernatural activities 

"It's not impossible, after all I have sensed a lot of powerful people among your seniors and I don't mean in terms of physical strength" Chronos shared his thoughts with his master

"I believe we should investigate for more insight" 

" Alright, where do we start?"Kealin asked as he wasn't going to let this case go

"Mana" 

"Mana" Kealin was dumb founded by Chronos reply 

"Mana is outwardly energy possessed by every living thing, it is the energy that living things unconsciously emit, so it's hard to find a living thing without mana besides even the environment is full of mana..." Chronos explained 

" Ok what's your point?" Kealin asked 

"Mana varies among humans and only a few possese the same mana attribute.Although Mana exist within the human body, not all humans can control it and for those who can, when using their mana in an attack it somewhat lingers it's the reason the environment is filled with a massive mana output, so as long as the user doesn't absorb it.... "

" The energy will remain at the spot, Chronos you're a genius, I'd expect nothing less from a god" Kealin finally understood what Chronos meant as a ray of hope flashed through his eyes 

"You seem happy all of a sudden" Lena said 

" Sorry guys, got to go, something just came up, love you" Kealin immediately disappeared into the crowd 

"Love you" Max thought as he Wondered what Kealin meant but didn't give much thought to it but the same couldn't be said about Lena whose head was now bent down, her red cheeks could be seen clearly, her fingers started playing with each other like a middle school girl who had a crush on a high school guy

"Hey Max, what do you think he meant?" Lena asked still feeling a little embarrassed 

"Huh" Max was surprised, he had never seen Lena like this before 

"Could it be that she's into Kealin" Max thought and after a while bursted into laughter 

"Hahahaha... haha" 

"What are you laughing at" Lena punched Max in the face before walking away 

"First Miss V, now her.... what's wrong with this people"

Kealin had returned to school in hopes of finding clues, he searched class by class and then stopped at the hallway 

"Do you see it master?" Chronos asked 

"Yeah , I see it" He answered 

Currently Kealin was looking at a purple energy that would change shape from time to time, first a star, then a dog and finally a human 

"Chronos what sort of Mana attribute changes shape?" Kealin asked 

" Dreamweaver energy, a mage that uses shadows to create illusions"Chronos answered 

" And although I'm not sure, I believe you've already met the culprit "

"Really,who? "

"I don't really know, but from time to time I unconsciously found myself searching for those with high mana output trying to distinguish between those who had unlocked their hidden abilities and those who had not and although, I couldn't search among the third years and forth years, I was able to freely see the mana output of the first years and second years and among them only one person possessed such mana attribute...."

" I believe it's your classmate April "

" But April would never do such a thing "Kealin objected, although he didn't really know April, after the incident with the third years, he believed that she was a good person 

"Master, they are called dreamweaver's for a reason, you see what she wants you to see and think what she wants you to think. And correct me if I'm wrong wasn't the last victim a close friend of hers"

Kealin didn't know how to feel right now, he thought he knew April but in reality he didn't 

"I fear if we do not stop her, the number of abducted victims will only increase. So Master right now our main suspect is April"
