Chapter 590 - 590: Offending
"What happened? Did you contact her?" Lucifer asked Gwan.
Gwan answered. "Yeah. She is in a meeting. I left her a message. She would probably contact me soon."
Just as he finished answering, his gloves started vibrating.
"Here it comes."
A holographic image came out from the gloves, revealing to be another lady.
"Greetings, teacher!" Gwan respectfully stated.
"What happened? I was in an important meeting. This better be urgent!" Jane firmly stated. "And what are these black bar-like things around you?"
"Ah, teacher, that's a long story. But trust me. It's really urgent. I wouldn't have disturbed you if I wasn't in a mess. I need you to come to the examination hall no. 17 and save me!"
"Save you?" Jane frowned. "I'll be there right away. But I promise you, if it's a prank, you'll regret it. Even your father won't be able to help you!"
Jane disconnected the contact.
...
After she disconnected her connection, she tapped her other glove. "Aia, show me the live scenes from Examination Hall 17!"
The academy generally used two AIs. One was known as Ai, who was used by everyone, mainly for calling others and other student related overwatch.
On the contrary, Aia was one that could only be used by teachers for administrative purposes.
Aia started showing the footage from the room, showing how there were five people in the room, with two of them being inside the prisons.
"This... Who are these three?" She frowned, looking at Lucifer.
"Aia, identify the three foreigners in the room. Who are they?" She asked as she hastily walked towards the end of the hallway.
"Unable to identify. No record in the database," Aia replied.
"No record? That's strange. Almost everyone in Atlantis is included in the Database. They're not in the database? Show me how they came inside the examination hall!" Jane commanded before stopping in front of a black glass door.
The door opened on its own, revealing a small room with strange markings all around. She stepped inside the room. The door closed.
All the symbols inside the room started shining brightly.
In the meantime, the gloves started showing all the footage of the last ten minutes.
"They came with the summoning portal? How is that possible? They're not beasts. Gwan summoned humans?" Jane exclaimed in surprise, seeing the footage.
She also heard Lucifer's conversation with Gwan. She was able to understand a few things.
"So that's what it was. These people are from Triton. For some reason, the summoning circle malfunctioned and summoned not only the beast of Gwan but also three people from Triton."
"Since they were summoned so suddenly, no wonder they were surprised and went on the offensive. Sigh, such a mess."
She pressed one of the shining symbols, sighing.
The small room was filled with a bright light which disappeared soon. However, the lady was not inside the room now. She had disappeared with the light.
...
Lucifer was standing with his back resting against the wall inside the room, waiting for the teacher to arrive. At the same time, he also wondered where she was going to come from. There appeared to be no entry or exit into the room.
A strange formation appeared on the ground in the southern part of the examination hall. A woman also appeared out of thin air from that place.
"I am here. Shall we start talking now?" Jane observed Lucifer and asked.
From what he saw in the footage, Lucifer was the leader.
Lucifer observed the lady in return. "You are their teacher?"
"That would be me. And it looks like you're from Triton; who accidentally ended up here? I can understand why you're so confused, but that doesn't give you the right to imprison my students. Release them, and we can talk," the woman said.
"Release? Not before I get my answers. After I'm done, I'll free them."
"Generally, I would've loved to talk to you in peace to understand what went wrong, but seeing your attitude, I don't think I'll be doing that anymore. We'll talk on my terms since you're the guest here. Not the other way around," the woman said calmly.
"Aia, Send the students out." She commanded.
Just as she finished speaking, two formations appeared under the feet of the two students.
Within seconds, both the students disappeared.
"Now, do you regret not freeing them when I asked?"
"Regret?" Lucifer asked, smiling. "I don't regret a single thing. And I won't ever regret either. And as far as the students are concerned, that doesn't matter. That was just my attempt to be civil. But since you're so intent on respect, then let me show you more."
Lucifer didn't tone down his arrogance, instead only increasing it more. He felt like the lady was challenging him while talking to him like he was a kid.
"Then so be it. Stay here and rot. Tell me when you get your attitude in control. I'll be back to talk." Jane also disappeared, leaving only the three guests in the room with no way out since Lucifer couldn't use the Teleportation technology that was applied in this academy.
"Ah, I think we should talk nicely. We're in their domain. We shouldn't offend them," Jenilia suggested, smiling wryly.
"Offend them?" Lucifer muttered. "They haven't seen offending at all so far. They'll see now."
In his anger, Lucifer wasn't patient. He hadn't been since he came back, and Salazar knew why. But he also knew that Lucifer was probably not a force to be reckoned with. No matter if it was Atlantis or Warlock Council.
Atlantis was underestimating him a lot. However, it was also true that they didn't know Atlantis either.
Outside the examination hall, Jane was observing Lucifer. She had a mocking grin on her face. "I was nice to them, but they just had to be arrogant. It serves them well. I won't let them out until they beg me on their knees!"
"Huh? What's he doing?" Her smile suddenly disappeared as she saw lightning flicker around Lucifer. His eyes also turned slightly whitish.
Boom!
Jane heard a roaring sound. She didn't know where it came from. The entire academy was soundproof. So such a loud sound was off. However, she soon received her answer as hundreds of lightning bolts fell from the sky.
A couple of them fell near Lucifer's feet, leaving a hole in the room. But they weren't all. There were more lightning bolts that fell all around the academy, destroying many structures. Lucifer wasn't subtle at all.
After an opening was created on the roof, he started flying with Jenilia and Salazar.
